Honestly, this whole BFA and SL situation reminds me of the Star Wars sequel trilogy where the different teams writing the episodes have completely conflicting ideas, AND both are terrible, crap on the lore in their own way and waste all the potential. It’s just incredibly sad.
All that sad, BFA had a lot more to like about it. For example at least it had 3 great zones compared to Shadowlands’ 0.
nah they’re pretty much the same
i think you’re insane
from LORE perspective, it made no sense, it just looked cool too a few idiot
I will probably get a lot of hate from Nelf fans but honestly, I though that the burning of Teldrassil was a cool idea. I was never on board with the premise of another faction war in BfA because it came after both factions worked together via the order halls to defeat arguably WoWs biggest villain (at the time) The Legion, having a war right after the biggest co-op ever made no sense to me, but if we were to have it the loss of 2 major cities on both sides was a good idea. The execution however of that idea was different terrible, in the end The Horde was pretty much responsible for the destruction of Tel and the UC, leaving the Alliance with a hollow victory.
BfA did not suck because of the War of Thorns, BfA sucked because it was convoluted mess that strayed from its core selling point of the faction war, and that no actual war was being fought (at least not one our characters participated in), it was all convoluted spec ops mission with flimsy payoffs and what seems to be random strike point with no actual strategy behind them on 2 islands/continents that arguably had nothing to do with the two factions.
With that said BfA did not ruin WoW for me, yes I do think it sucked but I pushed through it. What ruined WoW for me is SL with the annihilation of the concept of death, constant retcons of previous lore to insert a cardboard cutout as the mastermind behind it all, the countless layers of plot armor of the Reee queen, the alien world/s we are supposed to suddenly care about and the god of gods explanation that pretty much all the celestial entities are 3D printed robots. That and the constant ruination of previous characters and villains by undermining their role and removing any agency they had because they were all working for Senior Carboard. That was not Afrosalami’s work (from my understanding all he did was say “Burn the tree and make Sylvanas a villain”), no that was Denuser… ok so you were left to carry the torch of a “bad” idea, big deal, make it work, its your job, executing well a poor idea is much better than destroying the entire franchise.
So now it’s said that 10.0 will be Denusers “baby”…so what? SL was Steve Denusers baby as well, he could have ended the “bad” story beats with BfA instead he chose to explore the realm of death by making the mary sue queen even more powerful with even more plot armor and retcon the entire pre established lore with the Jailer. Hard pass, it will just be another SL level convoluted mess with even more space lasers in an attempt to turn what was a fantasy setting into a sci-fi… I’m sure that there will be a very “logical” explanation on how the dragons are actually robots and magic is actually glitches in the cosmological OS. Denuser is known to be a fan of bad movies/TV shows and to try and copy their plot so my final prediction is WoW 10.0 Resurrections AKA Matrix 4.
The War of Thorns is not WoW worst storyline, Shadowlands is.
Not quite, I tried for the achievement but haven’t managed it yet.
2 of them in the Hail Mary patch.
