There has been a lot of negativity regarding the storyline of the Shadowlands. How much of that is correct and how much of it is completely unjustified?

Lately especially with the release of 9.1 Chains of domination and Sylvanas’ fate cinematic there has been a lot of criticism in regards to the story and the progression thus far. A lot of people are talking about how the lore doesn’t feel like Warcraft anymore, how the power scale is all out of whack among many other things.
Well, how much of that ‘negativity’ is really justified? Is the Shadowlands lore bad or is it just certain parts. However ultimately how much of the story can really be recovered and is there still a possibility for Blizzard to create an excellent expansion out of Shadowlands?

What is your opinion on the story of the Shadowlands thus far? Is the lore 'bad' and what are the chances that ultimately Shadowlands could turn out to be a great expansion? Also check out my Instagram for IRL stuff: https://www.instagram.com/doronsmovies/
I think the biggest problem of the current lore is, it is hard take the main villans seriously in the case of sylvanas is pretty clear she tries so hard of being an illidan 2.0, but with the handycap of she not knowing what she wanted to do since the begning. And the worst case the jailer that guy i cannt take him seriously he wants show off how evil and bad guy he is and failing at trying it.
WoW is like a series. Lore is important. I dont finished Lost and GOT for the same reason: start good and become a shit.
still not as bad as bfa but i quit after 2 months of timegating
Ironicly i think the issue in shadowland is that the character are
Soulless… Literally
its not bad its RIDICULOUS
Been saying it since it was announced. Do not predicate an expansion upon a place and people that were never mentioned in the original Warcraft games. Do not make Sylvanas a God. BUT DID THEY LISTEN?
this channel blows now
golf clap Great setup. Shitty follow-through.
Mist was when i stopped playing for years i hated mist and everything around it from the start, came back in legion, left again for BFA. My biggest problem with this expation is we know nothing about the jailer at all we have no reason to care who he is or what he does coz we have never spent any time with him around him or learning anything about him hes really a nothing to us all.
They are to busy sexually harassing
To slow story progression is bad but to fast and to many like in bfa is not optimal either were the story was all over the place and ashara and nzoth were death with in 1 patch
my opinion why for example WotLK worked so well as it was like 1 big villain that was on constant treat with his commanders actually doing stuff in each zone and for example impacting the lives who whole civilizations ( like the drakari and tuskar ) or the rough landing at borean tundra were both horde and alliance got attacked right away
even during the questing we kept aware of the treat that was looming and had several encounters with the lich king before actually facing him as we saw him in UK or in Zul drak or when we actually tried our first assault at the wraith gate but failed but the betrayal of putris and even in the final zone we first had to run away from him before actually facing in the halls of reflection. it felt like a built up towards something and i personally felt that missing in shadowlands oke there was the opening that show's the tension at the beginning but after then it was a long journey solving more the covenant issues then actually knowing what the jailer was doing and left in mystery way to much .
the stories felt all to seperated in my opinion with the jailer just being there but if you would delete him the story would still have made as much sence as kirian dealing with douth and betrayal kinda same with revendreth were sire denatrias was more his own villain rather then feeling a henchman of the jailer ardeanweld was just facing the drust maldrexxus also has the betrayal issue but none really felt connected to the jailer himself if anything the jailer felt more the side char in this all
Just let us to help to the homeless people In Westfall .. or to build new home for the night elves ..
Blizzard : there is Another God wich you have to kill . Big mystery.. big secret … bu bu bu ..
It's gotten a bit too much for where it is currently. I think they should just go all out in the crazy department and make it a meme. Make the pandaren's the ultimate big bad lol
Lore criticism of Shadowlands?
…
…
*laugher*
MoP was an absolute blast lore wise and gameplay wise. My only issue was garrosh's direction because I wanted stonetalon garrosh developed, not genocidal garrosh.
Only really playing for the lore, and while there is some missing pieces and things to be desired, overall i like the current expansion lore. Blizzard could save this if they want, question is… Are they going to?
No it isn't bad and it isn't the worst either. The online community is what's gotten worst.
Legión is the best ending for saga
Agree with alot of what you have said here. I'm sick of hearing people twist on about how bad they percieve the story. I think alot of people generally only complain to look like the 'cool crew' (not that there isnt bits of the story I'm also concerned about, but its no where near as bad as what people are making out).
MoP the end of WoW. True. The game exists as a bad replica of what it was until the release of LFR (End of Cata). The game truly died then.
Nah let’s be harsh to blizzard fuck em we pay subs and this is the shit we get I’m playing new world when it comes out cuz I’m done with this till they actually care about the game again
yeaaah THEY should have an ending to all the characters… its about time
The problem is not only that chaos is you and that the Shadowlands is essentially hell yet demonic Blizzard Entertainment does not want you to think Shadowlands to be the Nether (the hell from which demons rise from), but that you get paid for being chaotic.
At this rate, Blizzard is just writing a really bad fan fic. Hearthstone is the milking tool for them since years ago anyways….
