Nathanos pre-patch spoilers

Don’t forget that Blizzard makes a game for players who do not read spoilers, and do not know anything about future events.

Killing Nathanos will be a shock content, because we do not know yet that all the souls are coming into Shadowlands. When we will enter Shadowlands and where we will find out the truth, it will be surprise for us, but we will see Nathanos again there.

Blizzard always doing it like that. First a shock content (for Nathanos fans), later rehabilitation.


Same thing was planed for Night Elves. In 8.0 Pre-patch, Night Elves lose all their cities, all their lands, all their armies, half of their entire race. Also lose the faith in their god.
Fans got a shock content and were thinking that their race is no more.
But right away, in 8.0.5 we got rehabilitation. Night Elves reunites, and retakes their lands back, without human potential. Becoming savage Elves from Warcraft 3, bringing terror on the Darkshores.
Ion told in interview, that Night Elves are not tree hugging hippies. And NE fans were happy again:

Of course the idea was realized rally bad. Instead of what was told for us, we had received totally different stuff.
Tyrande was shown weak (even with Elunes power, she needed a help from Malfurion to defeat Nathanos). Nathanos manage to finish his task and rise Undead Night Elves. Undead Night Elves joined the Horde on their own will. The main enemy on the Darkshores was again Night Elf, and we had to kill our own race.
And even Beta cut scene where Tyrande celebrate victory on the DarkShores was never made it to a life.


I guess the reason why Tyrande kills Nathanos right now, is just a BugFix for Darkshores scenario. Just a small bone that Blizzard trows for Night Elves, knowing that Nathanos will appear again anyway later.
