  1. Xal'atath is one of the only really intriguing long term characters blizzard has developed recently that they haven't messed up, so I'm really hoping they don't jump the gun with her going into War Within

  2. I love seeing some of the connective tissue in parts I missed during BfA and pre-WoW, since I didn't play a ton of Shadow Priest in Legion. Seeing it all laid out like this makes me even more hyped for WW!!

  3. It really boggles my mind people say the Xala'tath blade is destroyed, or irrelevant. The blade disappearing at the worst possible moment is its entire story. It did EXACTLY that for Wrathion. The really interesting part — N'Zoth said the blade must remain to serve his will. It simply cannot be that N'Zoth is dead, he's in the blade, doing the blade things. Mark my words.

  4. We are getting a bit heavy on Void aligned or related enemies that are expected to take part in whatever the next big void story is.
    * Xalatath
    * Old gods
    * Iridikron
    * Azshara
    * Void lords
    Each should have at least a patch with a zone and raid for their story and preferably more as to not go back to the horrible rush jobs of BfA and SL. But that's one threat short of two expansions worth of just Void opponents, and it assumes I didn't forget anyone. We need at least a bit of variety. Who will have to be sidelined? No matter who it will be a loss. I don't want to see any of them be relegated to a midboss or stuck as a dungeon boss.

  5. Xal'atath's Story is very interesting given what little information and background we got from her. Always a Villain with a plan to bring forth the black empire anew and the void itself.

  6. For those that never understood the purpose of Sargeras creating the burning legion is simple.
    Sargeras +Legion = fight void lords.
    Zoval The Jailer had the same purpose as he was trying to fight the void lords to but he was put in a prison,that's why the Jailer had a secret pact with Sargeras.
    But both had the same vision of trying to conquer Azzeroth world soul to use it against the Void Lords, same goes to Void lords purpose to corrupt azzeroth with their childs the old gods

  7. I have to admit to becoming increasingly annoyed. I had hoped season of discovery was the beginnings of classic plus but it is becoming increasingly clearer that it’s just a way for them to retcon the story of WoW to make the new expansion make any kind of sense. I get it but co opting a movement that was something else entirely just to fix the shit your team put out feels dirty as fuck to me.

  8. Thank you because I had no idea about all that. I've missed parts, I think it may be because I don't do raids. I do remember the dagger in the hands of Wrathion. I wonder, what did it do to him? Is there something we still don't know.

  9. N'zoth is still alive in other timelines, we only killed him in one timeline. The DF questline with Chromie confirms this. And with the Old God's presence being in all possible timelines, it is likely that we are far from done with them. Hell, they can easily drag Azq'roth into the mix with this.

  10. Xal'atath is kind of like Zovaal, but done right. A master planner whose seeds have been sown over multiple expansions, not shoehorned in as 'surprise, it was me all along'.

  11. Why does this story with Xal’atath sound like how the ring was transferred between people for ages after Sauron disappeared? Instead of two small men quibbling over a ring, you have two women fighting over a dagger. Who wants popcorn for this? I think I would like this movie.
