Aren't you 15k in debt? I don't think subbing to a game is something you should even consider.

They probably (finally) realized it was a bad idea to keep killing off all the Horde leaders. Or having them go evil and then killing them off.

I don't play anymore, but from what I know of the story for this expansion, a redemption story seems really fucking stupid. Like anyone on the Alliance is going to give a shit. The Night Elves will probably make it their mission to hunt her down and kill her no matter what anyway. Where's Illidan when you need him?

tbh I don't know why you'd be playing WoW these days if you don't care about the Warcraft characters. It's not like Blizzard is making a good game anymore. Playing with the flanderized corpses of the old fan favorites is all they have going for them now.

Its even worse that Sylvanas gets to live. Hell Garrosh deserved redemption more than her. Her head needed to be on a pike years ago.

the end of the latest raid has her turning face on zovaal (even though they won), only for him to restore her broken spirit to her and she gives a warning of his evil deeds before she passes out

The Night Elves just can't have anything good now can they? I mean they are supposed to be by the the most powerful race on the planet based on past lore, yet somehow a couple of fucking catapults can burn down their mile high magically protected world tree with them being completely powerless to stop it. I honestly don't understand why Blizzard started hating them so much after Warcraft III.

lmao we all knew it was going to happen, but we were all hoping it wouldn't. Even then, I feel like they could have done it much better.

"I will never serve."

After three expansions of her being the Jailer's errand girl. Oh, and that the master tactician didn't see that the literal fucking devil probably wasn't the best dude to give absolute power to.

The topping on the sundae is that Garrosh also got a cinematic and it was way better written than this.

They're almost certainly the most powerful race out of the Alliance and the Horde. Malfurion alone is basically a demigod and Tyrande isn't that far behind him even without her Night Warrior bullshit.

Forgive me I dont have much knowledge on the lore, I just saw the raid stream last night. But still, that writing doesnt sound well thought out.

NE as a race isn't much more powerful other than having a millennia of experience, well those who lived that long at any rate.

More or less, yes. In theory, it makes sense that she didn't mind working with him until he started going on about how he would force everyone to serve him because her whole backstory is that she was murdered and her spirit was enslaved by Arthas, the man who would later become the Lich King(that's the voice you hear in the cinematic). The issue is that this just makes her an absolute moron.

The Jailer is WoW's version of the devil who rules over the Maw, WoW's version of hell. The Lich King she hates so much? The Jailer supplied the weapons and armor that created him. The white-haired dude with the sword? He's the pure-hearted human king. Sylvanas helped the Jailer strip away his free will and turn him into a mindless servant which, btw, makes him look nearly identical to Arthas.

But the most galling thing is that Sylvanas was seemingly doing all of this for altruistic reasons because she believed WoW-Satan was going to change things for the better. What pisses people off about this is that Sylvanas did a genocide. That's not exaggeration. She knew only innocent non-combatants were left in the night elf home and she burned it to the ground. And if that's not bad enough, part of her work for the Jailer was breaking the "engine of death." So every single person that died there went straight to the Maw to be tortured for all eternity.

Is there a post-scene of that? Did the leaders forgive her like complete tools or is it up in the air right now?

Also, do the majority dislike this, or is it just the vocal minority?
the end of the cinematic shows her good side restored (her eyes glow blue again) and she tries to warn the leaders of his plans before passing out. theres no doubt shes helping us now.

worst part is that Tyrande is going to be painted the asshole for being angry at her still. she deserved better than this.

i dont know, the wow subreddit is all up in arms about this, and from all the discussion ive heard about wows story and the pondering of where her story was going to go, everyone was fearful that she'd be Kerrigan 2.0 and it looks like yup its Kerrigan 2.0.
