This patch better deliver with the gameplay, cinematics, lore, or else. I know a lot of people have been saying WOW is dead for like 10 years now but seriously a lot of players have already left, my friend list is empty and for the first time in 18 years I stopped playing for a whole 8 months.
The cinematics with the animations look atrocious, truly like a game from the early 2000's such a shame we are a few decades after that time period lol.
man so much work was put in that first cutszene am i right? XD one frame of the jailers mouth was visible behind his collar, silvie still doing sick backflips while flying away and bolvars very subtle :>[ ] while saying "No!"
I sincerely hope they don't try to make literally everything that has happened in recent WoW lore is because of the Jailer's machinations. Claiming that the Legion was a pawn in his game alters nearly everything thus far. The Legion coordinated the attack on Azeroth through the Orcs, the Legion worked with Sargeras to hunt down and destroy countless worlds, the Legion helped lead Arthas to Frostmourne and by proxy to the Helm of Domination – in effect creating the Scourge. The Legion was the tool the Titan Sargeras used to hunt down the Old Gods. The Legion were involved with the War of the Ancients and the Sundering of Azeroth.
This sounds suspiciously like a quote from Star Wars that I always despised. The Emperor kept saying 'Everything is going to my design' or 'It as I have foreseen'. So… The Jailer knew from the get-go that he could control a Titan? He knew about Sargeras' plan to use the Legion to destroy the Old Gods? He knew the Old Gods had corrupted just about everything on Azeroth? He knew Azeroth would be the centerpiece of everything? He knows Azeroth is an unborn Titan? He knew the Legion would demolish Draenor, and in doing so Ner'zhul would have created the Helm of Domination? He knew the Scourge would be created, but something like would require the use of an artifact such as Frostmourne? If those are true, why did he even need to bother asking the Rune Keeper about that stuff? He knew someone like Sylvanas would be able to best Bolvar the Lich King, destroying his crown and opening the portal between our worlds?
I would like to point out that during all of this, he knew we would be there to best every opponent? Even the Titan Sargeras – a literal god. Yet, allowing Sylvanas to open the portal to our world essentially meant that we would be allowed access to him. Did he not realize that glaring problem? Hey, this one champion has defeated the Legion, defeated the Scourge and the Lich King, the Old Gods, even went to space to defeat Sargeras, went beneath the seas to beat Queen Azshara, defeated Heyla, traveled to completely different worlds to defeat the Legion there… but he's perfectly ok with letting said hero into his realm? That seems like a big issue to me.
1 major problem with WoW is that every xpac you have to grind countless new currencies. I understand that blizzard worry about people hoarding currencies and may be difficult for new players. But they can simply purge currencies like they've done with some currencies already. I don't get what is so critical to create an entire new currency system. You can use the existing currencies and give them new purpose. Why blizzard have to make simple into complicated. I don't mind grinding, but this xpac is like forcing durian down my throat.
holy shite this story is so boring. Literally i've never been so disinterested in a WoW xpacs story. Even *"Alternative Reality Time Traveling Orcs" was easier to follow. Shadowlands to me feels so disconnected from WoW's roots. It feels so out of place.
Love it

the jailer trying to look at us through his weird neck thing is hilarious

Gotta love cliché villain speak…
Looks good
0:16 Bolvars face is hilarious. Also his voice is still like twice as deep as usual, hopefully they'll fix that lol.
This is terrible.
Where is my boah Arthas
The jailer rp walking to a portal again. Wtf is this bullshit
Can't wait for 9.1 patch…excited for upcoming future story 😄
The writing in these cutscenes is so cringeworthy. It's actually hard to watch
"your efforts are futile!" "NO!" Such amazing dialogue….
The cinematics with the animations look atrocious, truly like a game from the early 2000's such a shame we are a few decades after that time period lol.
Such quality writing.
"im gonna win. >:)"
"lol no xD"
"um, ya."
And the animation quality hasn't gotten much better, either. Looks just the same as it did a few weeks ago.
Can we just admit retail is trash?
The writing is horrible, the dialogue sounds like it was written by students from kindergarten or something xD.

Anyone else getting a Thanos vibe from the jailer?
I forget that there are males in WoW, lmao. They are all disappeared one by one. This game is no different than most of Korean mmorpgs now

this game has gone to absolute shit lol
What's with everyone reusing the same cutscenes in every video ?
Bolvar still sounds like an orc, then? that's hilarious
Jaina cant open portals in the maw unless she puts her staff down fist and ports to it. oops.
Why is Uther less purpil in the Patch Trailer cutscene and then again more purpil here?
Let’s be real here, whether you like Shadowlands or not. WoWs cinematically have gotten so good over the years
God Sylvanus even still cackles like a villian yet were supposed to believe she is a 'redeemable character'

I'm sorry but this is just atrocious
I love it when Warcraft became a Disney cartoon
garbage. old.
Tyrande should be there for the final fight against Sylvanas and the Jailer. It’s not happening now. It’s too soon.
The jailer is as gay looking and poorly drawn as Everything in WoW
At this point, Winter queen mentioning Elune as her sister is getting cringy.
The only really good thing about this is Patty matsons laugh the first seconds XD
Literally no one:
Blizzard: WORK IN PROGRESS ❌
"Jaina we need a portal"
"Khadgar take us home"
Mages: 😑
Hey WoW Devs if you already seen this, my comment. We need an Arthas redemption, as Uther mentioned
they corrected bolvar's warhammer. but sylvanus deflating like a balloons still remains. hope they will fix it too.
I really like that this comment section isn't full of cringey fanboys

So is the night warrior going be a new playable class?
Why are the cutscenes so cringe and lame
Good lord how did I ever play this game, its gotten so bad
2:09 why are they running when they can fly?
Honestly I’ve played this game since early BC and it’s amazingly sad how bad the scenes and writing have become. This expac being the worst so far.
Idk what else to say. It’s so uninspired and lazy.
What happened to Bolvar's voice? Is it a new voice actor or some kind of curse? 0:15
A part of me honestly wants to see a bad ending for this campaign.
