Is this the sort of writing we can expect from Blizzard?
Yes .

Well. Can’t disagree.
Edit:

@Taxania-argent-dawn

Just saying, if this comes to pass, I demand forum brownie points.

I will personally send you brownies.

[Sainur-argent-dawn (Sainur)]

I will send you pineapples.

[Distantpeak-argent-dawn (Distantpeak)]

Covered in cinnamon and sugar, then grilled?

[Yue-argent-dawn (Yue)]

Play FFXIV for good MMO storytelling.

[Sainur-argent-dawn (Sainur)]

Preferably on top of pizza.

[Taxania-argent-dawn (Taxania)]

Another reason for that theory is that having us fight a character that’s the end boss of a raid, just to have them feature in a late tier as an absolute nobody, feels cheap as heck.

See what they did to Kael’thas. Do you really think they would do to Azshara what they did to Kael’thas, especially knowing how we feel about Kael’thas?

[Desartin-argent-dawn (Desartin)]

Y’all talking about how Tyrande or Malfurion should be there, but forgetting about our main man Prince Farondis.

[Aerilen-argent-dawn (Aerilen)]

I want her to summon a bathwater elemental and for it to violently beat me up.

Alternatively Azshara will pull an Archimonde/Kil’jaeden/Ragnaros and disappear for a few expansions only to resurface after N’zoth has been killed. She’ll beat us herself now that her master failed, see.

The true Prince that was Promised.

In between large meat courses, it is fantastic. Pineapple is God!

I want her to chain me and tell me I belong in the Violet Hold with the rest of my kind

Can anyone explain what the endgame was for Azshara? Was it basically the same as Arthas, ie “Bring your strongest forces so I could convert them” just crammed into a content patch?

Does every antagonistic character have to play 5d chess, have their entire arcs/history/personalities butchered or simply make them do a 180 turn to get the story from point A to point B by the end of the expansion?

Why is Mechagon the most consistent and delightful piece of content on this junkheap of an expansion when it’s just a basic plotline amidst an onslaught of gnome zane that would’ve made me consider plan ethnic genocide for every (mecha-)gnome in existence?

@Daelhad-argent-dawn

Not “convert”. “Dominate” perhaps. She wanted the player’s Hearts of Azeroth so she could siphon its powers into breaking n’zoth’s prison (which she does, though she probably didn’t intend on dying in the process).

why didnt she use the tidestone to drain the water and then let it rush back after our characters all fell to the bottom, thus crushing the adventurer and have one of her pincer crab women bring the heart from our pulverized corpse back to her

[Moridunum-argent-dawn (Moridunum)]

@Desartin-argent-dawn

but forgetting about our main man Prince Farondis.

And what is Farondis? A one time character, for a single zone. And ontop of that he’s already a ghost anyways.

Sure his story was an awesome one but I don’t belief he should take the stage to this D:

@Daelhad-argent-dawn

why didnt she use the tidestone to drain the water and then let it rush back after pur characters all fell to the bottom, thus crushing the adventurer and have one of her pincer crab women bring the heart from our pulverized corpse back to her

Well, that wouldn’t be an interesting story, would it now? But I understand you

[Elenthas-argent-dawn (Elenthas)]

@Daelhad-argent-dawn

why didnt she use the tidestone to drain the water and then let it rush back after our characters all fell to the bottom,

Because she’s an arrogant, vainglorious narcissist who wants a captive audience to her victory.

Also because I was channelling the Tear of Elune’s power to stop her from doing so YOU’RE WELCOME.

[Daelhad-argent-dawn (Daelhad)]

@Elenthas-argent-dawn

isnt she the greatest wizard of azeroth

cant she just make an arcane projection / naga-TV recording of her doing that and then send it across Azeroth

why is a character that was hyped up as a Warbringer and some demigod wizard a drooling moron and a Big Bad™ loot pinata in the middle of an expansion about the faction conflict

@Elenthas-argent-dawn

Also because I was channelling the Tear of Elune’s power to stop her from doing so YOU’RE WELCOME.

Thanks man, now I get to experience the riveting tale of Sylvanas’ masterplan and the rebel RP scene making me choke on ragevomit

no-one can fanboy / devils advocate this trash into something tolerable or justifiable, time to sleep

[Aerilen-argent-dawn (Aerilen)]

Azshara forcefully maintained a ghostly city for her own narcissism. Her having the player character hop and skip around her palace for her own hubris is ok.
