Oh no Interview with Ion

Jaina: Anduin… We committed horrible crimes… We should write an apology letter to the Horde about the Zandalari King…
Anduin: You are right Jaina… We should also pay 30 Billion Gold in reparations for it…
Jaina: WHAT?? ARE YOU MAD ANDUIN?! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BUY ICE-CREAM TO SOOTHE MY CONSTANT MOOD SWINGS??? YOU DISAPPOINT ME!

Next expansion:

How many horcruxes does Sylvanas have left? Three? Please kill them, i want to see the look on Sylvanas’ face once she realizes that there’s nothing left to save her from the Hell she deserves.

I called it!

But, now we can add that Aszhara is actually a good guy, and the just tried to use N’zoth for her own ends so she gets the same treatment as Illidan.

I thought that we had reached rock-bottom. Turns out that Blizzard just scratched the surface.

At some point before Legion Sylvanas was replaced by Aszhara. This will also explain why Helya made a deal with Sylvanas…for some reason.

Then shouldn’t the Illidari have detected that at Vol’jin’s funeral? Or does their hack vision work only with Demons?

What’s your point? Jaina forgot that she was able to teleport during the Broken Shore, the Light-teleporters were forgotten during the whole ‘Teldrassil’-thing etc.

So really: What’s your point? Where’s Hala when I need her?

I will remember not to talk with you again, then.

Something. Something. Something continuity and creators.

Well her true form is incorporeal so that’s not much of a reveal.

Sorry since this is very off-topic, but what happened to Hala? Haven’t seen her around in a while.

I think, and this is just me thinking, that:

Azshara has managed to pose a threat to N’zoth, so she no longer is on his side. Instead, she’s currently working against him, of course. Because of this, N’zoth is trying to recruit us to fight Azshara (something we WILL do, not realizing we’re helping N’zoth in the meanwhile), and when we finally get to defeat her, we find out her true task. Something Illidan-like.

On the other hand, I do think Sylvanas is on the path to become the new Lich Queen for real this time. We will face Bolvar at some point (of this I’m rather sure, and it’s kind of confirmed by the relevant presence of his daughter this expansion) and do something with him, although I’m not sure what (if it will be just killing him or whatever). Anyway. We’ll find out that Sylvanas’ “true” plan it’s always the same: live forever and never die.
But remember that this wish was born after the defeat of Arthas, when she was ready to die and jumped off of Icrecrown. I think what she saw then, and made her go back, was a future under the Old Gods, which could be worse than death itself.

So in the end we will have her become some kind of “life defender” of her own kind, leading the undead against the Old Gods, so that by the end of BFA we will kind of have 3 “new” “factions” (not that they will be playable, we will still have Alliance and Horde of course, but maybe you’ll get to choose which leader to follow):

  • Anduin and Azshara, if she stays alive, will lead both the horde and alliance against the Old Gods

  • Sylvanas, leading the undead or the ones willing to cheat death against the Old Gods EDIT: and perhaps all the living creatures too, in order to become stronger, so she would fight the other 2

  • The ones fighting for N’zoth, which could be the ones who don’t reject his gift

I don’t know, that’s speculation of course, but I think that actually Sylvanas has a very specific plan more than everybody else and she knows exactly what she’s after so far. Maybe undeath is resistant to the Old Gods in some way?

What Erevien already said. Blizzard doesn’t care about continuity, so if Sylvanas was indeed switched out before Legion then it simply happened, no questions asked.

You can usually summon her by mentioning the path of glory.

“There will not be a trial where she is in chains. Sylvanas is not a character who would find herself in that situation … ever.”

This…this right here. I smell Kerrigan coming, Either Brood War or Starcraft 2 version one of those will happen maybe.

He also notes that Garrosh’s motives were different; they were an attempt to restore a lost vision of the Horde at the expense of everything else. Sylvanas’ goals are still unclear, but Hazzikostas notes, “There will not be a trial where she is in chains. Sylvanas is not a character who would find herself in that situation … ever.

So what is Sylvanas’s motive then? Why not dispel all doubts and just say that she’s doing this for the Horde in her own way?

Are we sure she is actually THE Sylvanas we know and love to hate? FOR SURE? She might got switched in places when Legion started in Stormheim at this point. Blizzard writing makes it all possible.

This thread is depressing.

Let’s rather focus on this:
With 8.2, what Hazzikostas calls the “B-plot” of Magni, Azeroth, and the dying Titan comes into the forefront. The Battle over Azeroth becomes a Battle for Azeroth, and the key item of the expansion is getting gameplay reworks to match this emotional importance in the story.

That sounds much better to me.

What can i say, from my personal perspective i’m not exactly thrilled to tag along another vaguely former Alliance character in their quest to save the universe, while having the race i like (or the faction i mainly play) sidelined.
No need to go over Legion again.
