1st
They have destroyed all their characters. There is no consistency in them or the stories.
Malfurion Stormrage, Archdruid, brother of one of the greatest characters Illidan, Wife of Tyranda, First of the druids and The resident sleeper.
He Odin Sleeps each expansion give him a break. Blizzard is horrible at using their lore characters.
All that is missing is Illidan to magically appear.
all the clips are same malfurion crap
imagine if illidan and his pal sargeras come to take care of the jailer! epic lore
Glad the plothole gets mentioned finally. In the beginning of SL, Players in the Night Fae covenant campaign chase Tyrande through Torghast and they eventually find the Night Elves souls'. For Elune to not know about this is insane, it makes the character a moron or incompetent at best. Tyrande was already the Priestess of Elune, the two already had communication as far back as the war of ancients. But in this current form, Tyrande is also channeling Elune's power directly as the night warrior during this entire event. How in the fuck does Elune not know about the maw and the Night Elf souls? The night warrior is running all over the maw at this point…Its so sad to see such an important and mysterious character of OG warcraft lore come out this way.
The continuity in this story is very disappointing. I hate to beat the horse here but playing FF14 really drives this point home. Characters show up in subsequent expansions and the way they are portrayed is true to the original reveal of the character. The continuity in FF14 is incredibly well done. I have felt the impact of the major story point far more than I have felt in WoW since MoP. The ONLY story element that felt impactful was Varian’s death. I didn’t even give a shit Vol’jin died.
ive never liked steve danuser. he and his team cant fucking tell a story.
They need to give Malf some love, the story bits he does have, where he is active, he is a badass with an insane connection to Azeroth and nature. Also I really pray they never make Calia Anduin's mother, that would soil a great and tragic story with Tiffin Wrynn and the mob killing her.
The problem is that they split the story into 4 covenant "stories" and sold it as an expansion feature and now we got a fragmented 4 stories that screws with the entire story and that makes us even more disconnected from the main story
I was hoping that Tyrande and Malfurion would have a huge cinema scene like Anduin vs Sylvanas outside the Undercity
Thorghast is the realm of Zovaal a Titan++ being like Elune. So he blocked her sight inside Thorghast, she does know nothing about what Tyrande saw inside there.
I like to point out that you describe exact my feelings (or the lack of them) when it comes to the characters of the shadowlands. (Or Calia, btw.)
If people like you or Pyro would write the story, it would make much more sense and I think, I would like it.
Would love to hear/read a fanfiction from you acco 🙂
I was so immersed in shadowlands that I logged out the second day after being max level and I haven't logged in since
Just maybe the reason we don't see certain characters in expansions is because those characters that we want to see are the money characters think about it
how many expansions did we go without seeing illidan after TBC?
And then voila we get Legion expansion and all the money characters are in that expansion
So maybe they're saving them for another Legion moment where they pull out all their ace cards
"Daenerys just kind of forgot about the Iron Fleet…" type commentary from the Game of Thrones showrunners just has to be a daily occurrence with Blizzard's shit writing staff.
"Everyone just kind of forgot that anima existed…"
"Everyone just kind of forgot that the Wowthanos existed and is responsible for everything…"
"Everyone just kind of forgot that Malfurion is alive…"
"Baine just kind of forgot how to literally stand up and do anything at all…"
My friends and I as dumb ass 16 year olds came up with better fleshed out lore and character storylines, working on our own worlds for tabletop gaming.
I think blizzard expanded wow too quickly beyond azeroth and outlands, into crazy shit in other worlds and realms and space, and time. Theres too many important characters, that cannot be remembered or active in every time or setting and the spider web is too big to follow, even for the devs.
I was really bothered at the moment we were informed that the Jailer was solely responsible for pretty much every antagonist plot in the entire warcraft universe. Like where the fuck do you go from there??? If we end up defeating Zovaal by the end of this expansion what's left???
Instead of Calia, it should be Vereesa who got a unique model and have a presence(with Alleria) in Oribos. The lady is the one keeping the Windrunner family intact
Remember when players (those who gave enough shit about the plot at least) complained that the plot of BfA was split between the 2 factions and that made it inaccessible?
Well it blows my mind that the lesson that Blizz took from this was "Ohhhh, so you want us to chop it up EVEN MORE!" and split the plot between the 4 covenants and choreghast.
Before the launch of SL when the covenant campaigns were being talked about I imagined they would be something like FF XIV's job quests: Some of the best story content in the game, yet it's a self contained little story that expands the world and doesn't really tie into the main plot. Instead, the plot is doing it's darn best to shake us off its trail and keep us confused…
How bout " dont…let him…get into… " drama? Lol so expected tbh
Another redemption story. I hope she dies in the end of the expansion
At least the Elune one is new than sylvanas mate fr
And Malfurion is just a sht show obviously
Tyrande also develops amnesia right away. She tells Sylvanas that the wrath is hers and not Elune’s, basically stating how present and in control she is, but immediately after choosing renewal, she claims to have been just an spectator, also claiming that Elune didn’t say what purpose night elves serve, when Elune just finished stating she allowed the tree to burn to feed the shawdowlands
The single biggest trick that Blizzard just completely missed, totally and utterly, was ARCHAEOLOGY. We have 5 whole zones littered with history & significance for people to dig up, with lots of little items that give you little drops of lore.
We should be able to discover entire forgotten races, and the genuine history of how the winter queen took power in ardenweald, how maldraxxus appears to just randomly grow stuff, why revendreth is so neglected, hidden memories from the bastion races? Why there are so few races represented in shadowlands? Why do we only see such a tiny patch of land in each zone?
The shadowlands should be legitimately huge, and it just isn't.
Your videos have become so negative compared to what they once were.
They are interested in only, and I mean only, writing their Sylvanas/Anduin fanfiction of a story arc and nothing else really matters. Zovaal was just created as a glorified plot device so her crimes could be transferred onto him and she could be redeemed (thus the showering of her with cinematic after cinematic while the other main characters never get a drop of it, they only get "stay a while and listen" bullshit crumbs that folk on twitter trip over themselves throwing praise after praise). That's why we STILL haven't got a Zovaal backstory/goal cinematic or anything really, or this video's topic character Malfurion never shows up, even though a side story related to him in Ardenweald would have been fucking amazing since he's basically the Archdruid and Ardenweald is a mirror version of the Emerald Dream really.
But who cares am I right, these fuckwits only care about their "faves" Sylvanas and Anduin which they can't get enough of, even after expansion after expansion, patch after patch fawning about them and creating "content" including them. Jeez. Sorry, even though I start calm by the time I reach the end I still get pissed, even though I tell myself over and over that the writers are dumbasses and it's not worth getting worked up over their writing anymore since what they're writing is basically fanfic at this point; the original creators of this world and characters are no longer working at Blizzard and these guys who have taken over see no fault at all in butchering and retconning the lore as they see fit so they could write their own "grand epic narrative" as I'm sure they themselves see it.
There is a watchful raven in Oribos, don't you think there's a possibility that it's Khadgar?
