PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

We’ll beat the mean old jailer and leave the afterlife a better place, having reformed the tyrannies and brutal hierarchies of the twisted, corrupt afterlife realms with our mortal common sense. We already see it in action with the archon.

What do you mean, it’s unfair to send people to Maldraxxus because they are great warriors only to decide they aren’t great warriors once there so they get to become abomination armpits?

Nothing rigged about the systems at all.

Reject the big 4, embrace racial/religion-based afterlives

I would simply beat all the other challengers in the theatre

Guess I’m just built different

It turns out Elune was Jailer all along so Blizz can have a big sigh of relief after all the angry nelfposters unsub from that.

Also, since Tyrande’s dying or w/e from the Night Warrior stuff, what does that even mean for the black eyed peas elves? What even is that in actuality?

At least you’ll have your soul plucked from your mulched remains and stuffed into a skin sock made of 20 other failed prospects, slowly working your way up the ladder in a perfect meritocracy unless you die for real along the way.

I’ll grant that some of maldraxxus’ issues come from the ongoing civil war but they’re still cool with pitting a skinny boy against a mutated frankenstein’s powerlifter with an axe the size of a biplane.

Ignored forever since they gave it to players before figuring out the exact details of the story of it being a curse that tyrande must purge. Players with black eyes after that have it for non RP reasons of looking cool when in canon, they were “cured”.

broke; shadowlands
woke; dying and just returning to the twisting nether to vibe with your demon buddies

They didn’t even explain why some elves got it but some didn’t (eg. Malfurion, Shandris)

Do you really think they’ll explain if they also get negative effects for those that did get black eyes??? nah fam, here’s another tease at a lore character conversation you don’t get to see :wave:

they’ll just say ‘oh no it’s all evil stuff’ and the black eyes were the actual evil choice not n’zoth’s buff back in BfA

im so glad i didn’t turn my nelf to night warrior eyes so i don’t have to think about that

iirc, the black eyes are a result of watching the ritual/being under the black moon, and i don’t think they cause the same guaranteed eventual death that the Night Warrior gets

Like a tan for your eyes.

I’m beginning to think that somewhere in the process of thinking this through, someone had a epiphany about the afterlife, and began to think “If good and honorable warriors are expected to go to Heaven but went to Hell instead, what would happen?” and started to philosophize of what it takes to go hell as two concepts instead of one singular Heaven place.

Starting to think Demon Hunters have it best…

Ah yes, the old Blizzard flip.

“What if good was bad?”

Ironically, demon hunters should be the guys who go to Bastion.
Come on, sacrificing everything to serve the greater good of the universe? That’s their whole schtick. They could even find relief in not having to deal with their painful memories.

Bastion just being voluntary would solve everything.

It… kinda is? It’s mentioned in some WQ that if you aren’t suited for it you might get sent back to the Arbiter for re-evaluation. But I am not sure if you decide if you’re suited or not, and you certainly don’t decide your re-evaluation.

It would be a big relief if they were removed from my memory too tbh.

I am the author of all your pain

We all know that demon hunters’ egos are way too big for them to want their memories to be wiped. Telling us how much they sacrificed is the only thing that keeps them going.
