      They're lowkey ass and boring and very niche. Army of vrykul thrown beaten by Kultiran settlers who refuged into the dream fused with the power of (void/nightmare/death)? that don't have any of the specific identifying factors or looks of each one of the powers they are associated with who were re-invoked into the world by a grieving matron to be promptly defeated and ended up in the realms of death by reverse traveling the dream with the intention of affecting the cycle of life and death.
      It's so outlandish and dumb and non-sensical even the Jailer sounds more plausible at that point. They're just a bunch of death-vrykuls, beaten by kultirans at the time using sticks and rocks and they're trying so hard to sell them as an actual threat or an army. Worst part is everybody thinks they were just a 8.0 thing, but they continued through the entirety of the 8.1 campaign as well, which everybody seems to forget. They lasted a long time (for no reason too) and really shouldn't have been an enemy at all past bfa, they're ridiculous and so is their lore and looks.

      @@braules The Drust are based on the 'Detritivore' (great Wikipedia article on this) role in ecosystem, or simply put, the bottom feeders. They're not dead, but they consume everything that is dead and decaying. They're worms and fungi that consume decomposing matter in a way that turns it into live-giving soil for nature to grow upon. They hold a niche in WoW that wasn't being filled up to that point. WoW always dealt with something either being living, sick, corrupted or dead. They're a great addition that completes WoW's metaphysical ecosystem.

Of the two other dragons that shared her fate, one sacrificed himself in the battle against Sinestra while the other betrayed his flight and aided Deathwing and the Infinites (indirectly serving the void).

I have the theory that 10.3 is going to be about void+bronze/infinite dragonflights stuff and a lot of paladins are going to come to the dragon isles (like the guy we meet in the Tyr Quest) to fight the void. At that moment maybe she fails to do something really important and kills by mistake an important bronze dragon?

    The absolute lack of consistency or planning and the constant starting, stopping and dropping of story lines and plot points is such a big part of why I dropped this game even after 10 years of sunk playtime...
    Also Sylvanas wanting to make more people into Forsaken is so counter to her original characterization and the characterization of the Forsaken at their inception... Becoming undead was a hellish existence for most people, undying, unfeeling, twisted and corrupted, even powerful undead who came out the otherside mostly in one piece like Sylvanas were shadows of their living selves, you literally had to have something broken inside you to want to be or to enjoy being undead (either going mad or just being power hungry like necromancers-). Wanting to turn more people into forsaken was supposed to be a major moral failing for Sylvanas, a fall from grace that went further than any of the dodgy stuff she'd done before (like her plans to drown Icecrown in super-plague before Varimathras and Putress fucked that up for her)...
    Every single dead-end or fumbled storybeat is a rantworthy gaping maw of frustration for anyone even remotely invested in the story in its entirety... Unless you're willing to just sweep it all under the rug and take every retcon, rewrite and obvious case of profit & keeping the content train rolling taking precedent over narrative and just grin through it...

    4:00 Wasn't the final vial used to create the Reliquary of Souls, which was how Illidan was able to free demons from.. presumably fel addiction? I'm pretty sure I remember that being the case - at the very least it was heavily implied that it was the case, since the last vial was in Illidan's possession, and water from the well of eternity would very much be capable of accomplishing that, being infused with the blood of a titan, and thus as potent as Sargerite.

    For the game's health, they should totally restart the whole world. Make every single zone evergreen with rep/renown so they will be able to add rewards later on... And most importantly, this will give the devs a total playground where they CAN go back to an old zone and add stuff years later (An instanced dungeon, raid or even zone progression where, yeah, you've done this zone, but now enter this portal and go explore what happened here when Trolls invaded.) Yeah, even if WoD is done, I wish they'd go back now to Farahlon. And with DF scale, I really wish Old Azeroth had the same. There's like 200K people in Stormwind, yet the capital now feels... Tiny. I mean, when the game launched, Stormwind was huge and impressive for sure... But now, when you look at Boralus or Valdrakken? And I firmly believe all Capital Cities should be actual questing zones with the possibility to expand later on. I don't care walking or flying over empty fields that will, one day, be a new district or something. And you can even expand underground. Ironforge and Gnomeregan are probably the easiest for that.
    I just want a living, vast world. Keep Dragonriding, sure. But lock it behind main story progression. I want to explore. I want to see a pack of mob and think twice before engaging. I'm really bored of just, dropping on the boss, killing it, and fly away. I want to fight, win and lose. Danger, survival, cowardly running for my life. I mean, I'm riding a freaking dragon and it doesn't even breath fire and attack anything, except a weak stomp when landing. I don't want that. I don't want to see a dragon and think, oh cool, another mindless mob. I want diversity in monsters tactics and most importantly, a reason to group up with a priest or paladin when facing undead or seek a hunter to track and take down an elusive massive boar.

    I feel like one problem WoW has is that they use waaay too many sidequests that go into literally nothing.

    You have to keep in mind that the end of legion (argus) was not planned as a part of legion itself and just got stitched into the legion experience when they brought 85% of the diablo team over to crunch on WoW after the fiasco that we remember by the dreaded name "WoD".
    A lot that followed made no sense and had to be dropped to ensure that the game can continue moving forward
    A prime example is what people brought up time and time again during BFA's pre patch events. The alliance has access to draenei technology, the army of the light with a f-ing spaceship, independence day lasers and exo suit armour capable of mowing down legions of demons... so how was the horde ever able to do ... anything. All of this had to be "forgotten" or nothing during the entirety of BFA nor shadowland's launch would have been possible

    18:30 There was much more the shadowlands could have explored, but it was obvious early on that a lot of shadowlands was cut for time. Plenty of unused portals in oribos, is the biggest hint.
    The death-representative entities or places we know of in WoW:
    Yogg-Saron. Yes, he's an old god, and a void entity, but he was for the longest time, know as The God of Death. Was that just completely unwarranted? Pulled out of someone's behind? He was barely awake when we got there, so it couldn't be because he was killing things left and right, and by the time we got there, he was no longer known as the God of Death, that title being given to the Lich King instead.
    "Hell", a place envisioned by humans (and maybe Dwarves?)
    The spirit realm of the Tauren
    Bwonsamdi, Mueh'zala (depicted)
    Helya (depicted)
    Ankoan afterlife (Where ancestors keep watching over the mortal realm after death)
    Centaur afterlife (where they merge with an element or elemental creature, Ohn'ara / wind for Maruukai, the element of earth for Maraudon centaurs)
    The Everlasting Party of Goblin afterlife
    Sky-Riding with Elune for Night Elves
    Tuskarr & Kul Tiran "Sea" afterlife where they become spirits that help the living
    Spirit guide to the other side (Ancient Vulpera ancestors are believed to have become this)
    Death Revenants (unless they're depicted as the Mawsworn)
    Monks deal with Chi, which is explained to be "life", but they can also take life with Death Touch. It would have been fun to experiment with what exactly this means in regards to creatures that are of the Death realm.
    There are probably also other things I've forgotten about.

      @@Hi-fd4cw To be fair for that one, since some creatures go to the emerald dream when they die, or to the void, or to the nether, i.e. their respective, representative realms, as opposed to the shadowlands, it might be that's a place that's part of the realm of Order, given the Titans' fixation on engineering.

    Now I'm upset about Sylvanas' story again, god damn it. T_T As much as I hated that Vol'Jin was just kind of thrown away, I was SO excited to see her as warchief. At the time it had so much promise. I wanted to see her have an arc of trying to refuse leadership and only really having the forsaken's interest in mind, but eventually growing to fully embrace the horde as a whole and become a competent leader. Like in legion she was up to some sketchy shit, but in the BfA intro cinematic, still the best one they've ever done imo, it seemed like there was a turn when she finally understood what it was to be horde. I fucking tear up when she does the FOR THE HORDE and does her awesome banshee shit, and that should have been the moment when she started believing in the horde as a whole and they started believing in her as a leader. Even doing most of the stuff that happened in BfA (except the tree, I still think that was a mistake no matter the motivations), she wants to crush the alliance to ensure her peoples' survival - but now it's ALL of her people, not just the forsaken. We could have had a more unified horde and finally a good leader. Fuck, I'm so disappointed all over again.
