PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

It should go without saying that some, heck, all of THAT level of negative stuff towards people they’ve never met is Not Ok.

Some other utter psycho sent a very graphically unpleasant DM to someone, with pictures even, and… like, I dislike the way things are going. But its a GAME for crying out loud! If you think it’s ok to death threat someone over a game there’s genuinely something wrong with you. Good grief…

They are inevitably going to handwave everything Sylvanas has done away and it’ll be the cheapest plot device ever to give her a redemption arc.

I like how the ogres on that island for the leveling experience spawned from apparent nothing.
Gimme more of that.
Islands that were thought to be uninhabited being explored as new powers rise on them… Or something.

(powers meaning political, not magical)

Someone said something about even hardcore Sylvanas fans being upset with this outcome, and I am seeing it already.

On MMOchampions angry dudes with Sylvanas profile pics are screaming that she should have died and now she will succumb to ‘woke Anduinism’.

wtf i love the cinematic now

I think the target audience is those people on twitter who think this is actually great writing and who are super interested in what’ll follow (ohh, such mystery and intrigue!), and that taliesin youtube channel I guess

Only those who were killed by Frostmourne

Even DBZ had a better story than this.

I can write a better story using only Van Darkholme quotes.

It’s usually downplayed away with “free will and determination (read: DPS numbers) beat Algalon’s cold logic, Elisande’s untimely vision, etc”, and as for the Old Gods it’s usually something along the likes of “oh yeah their thousand truths has basically become something like brainstorming of the future but with visions” so they can be both right and wrong

I kid you not, Elenthas.

She lost her memory. She got booted by the jailer, and lost her memory.

Funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

I just want to see a sigma grindset with this cinematic tbh

now i have openly complained about many, many characters turning into essentially race-swapped versions of the boy king

but if that happens to sylvanas i 100% support it and will probably not stop laughing for the rest of my life due to the sheer amount of salt it’ll generate

Because of the direction they’re taking Sylvanas in I don’t know how any in-universe event with any degree of severity can be taken seriously again. Teldrassil happens in a PoV perspective in a manner far more personal and up-close than say the Burning Legion destroying worlds and after years there’s no payoff, just an impending turn for Sylvanas to become a semi-heroic character again.

Even if with her soul returned she’ll go through a character arc where she has to deal with the consequences of her evil twin’s actions, I don’t know what part of the playerbase is anticipating this with any good faith. Most people at this point are tired of her inclusion in the story and just want her dead or to disappear.

I remember when Sylvanas was a semi-evil character playing in the background of the main Horde narrative…

I remember when Sylvanas’ master plan™ of genociding the death and living was hijacked by the Legion and as a consequence racist orc kor’kron occupied Undercity…

Good ol’ times.

9.1: Sylvanas loses memory and becomes mortal again
9.2: Edguin kills sylvanas and raises sylvanas as a banshee again
9.3: Random nessingwary raid
9.4: defeat anduin at icecrown 2 and via a quest get the locket with his mum’s pic in it as a toy to make a portal to oribos.

Wtf… are those Forsaken/risen horses?

what the actual freck?

oh my god no.

I’m confident she has caused almost(?) as many damages to the world as Deathwing.

Remember the April’s Fools version of Deathwing? We’re getting that in the canon for Sylvanas.

Edit.

Willing to bet it is the writing team (and not all of them) and no one else
