      Me too, one of the most frustrating decisions they've made with a racial leader.
      I think they just didn't know what to do with him, but they had a bunch of (apparently very shitty) ideas for what they could do with Sylvanas. She was also by far the most popular racial leader on the Horde.
      They also wanted to paint the Legion as a terrifying adversary, which they accomplished by killing the High King and Warchief (and Tirion) right at the start of the expansion.

      To be fair, she's still somewhere out there. Pretty sure she has a connection to the void (considering she left the raid with a voidportal), and the fact that we will fight for or against the void sooner or later, we will meet her again. I'm 100% sure. So I wouldn't say she's wasted, feels more like a save up for later expansions like illidan or bolvar were. As for N'Zoth - poor soul didn't got a treatement he deserved, but so didn't C'thun or Yogg Saron. Yogg got a brilliant raid but that's it, could've got his own expansion easily. I seriously hope we will see a return of the old gods, because in lore terms, we've only destroyed their avatars (as of Yogg and C'thun) N'Zoth and Y'shaarj were both ultimately killed.

    The question is why did Sylvanas went to Maw at end of WLK? At end of WLK I don’t think she done anything that is deserved to go to Maw. In fact after she dies from defending her people, she is either controlled by arthus or fighting for freedom. The plague of warth gate is not her fault. What I felt is when Uther broke the rule and throw Arthus into Maw, it create a window a small hole that made Sylvanas also skipped orbitor and fall straight into Maw.

      Nono, Sylvanas is the simp. Sounds crazy but hear me out.
      "Some time before the Second War, Sylvanas admitted the highly talented human ranger Nathanos Marris into the ranks of the Farstriders. This decision surprised many of her compatriots, such as Halduron Brightwing, Lor'themar Theron, and Renthar Hawkspear. Some of Sylvanas' comrades took note of the inordinate amount of pride Sylvanas took in her human disciple and opposed the notion of allowing a human to train with the elven rangers"
      "Despite this opposition, however, Sylvanas persisted, and her response was simply that Nathanos would be a loyal ally.[21] This would prove correct, as Nathanos' talent allowed him to become the first and last of the human ranger lords, being promoted by Sylvanas herself,[20] and was responsible for victories spanning a decade of conflict.[22]"
      "Sylvanas frequently visited Nathanos at his home at the Marris Stead, officially to hear reports, but rumor spread throughout the Farstriders that she was involved in a romantic relationship with her human pupil."
      ""Sylvanas visited Nathanos at the Marris Stead shortly before the onset of the Second War. She spoke to him of a potential invasion of Quel'Thalas from the Horde and met Nathanos' young cousin, Stephon Marris. Sylvanas asked the boy if he wanted to be a ranger when he grew up, but he replied that he wanted to be a knight.

    the whisper plot device is also stupid cause they establish that the warchief is being elected by the council of chiefs in the horde. there are other characters that are more suitable to lead a war against the legion other than sylvanas.

    22:38 it's kinda obvious that Blizzard devs probably initially planned to make the whole old god, n'zoth, and nyalotha stuff it's own expansion.. because if you remember back at the beginning of BFA, the Blizzard devs were saying left and right.. "there are no Old Gods in BFA" and essentially promised that there would be no old god stuff in BFA.. but I assume they decided the story after (Shadowlands) was more important, so just ended up cramming the rest of BFA into 8.2, and condensing/summarizing an expansion's worth of story into a single patch with 8.3.
    This is why 8.2 seemed to rush and ended the story of BFA, and 8.3 has nothing to do with the rest of the expansion and why people like Jaina, Sylvanas and other important in BFA up to that point, etc, are missing from 8.3 and 8.3 was lackluster and ultra short storywise and how we defeated a powerful old god like a minor patch boss.

      No. The "there is no old gods in BFA" was a meme, because it was clear from the beginning that the devs said that sarcastically like "no war in ba sing se". N'Zoth was always going to be the end boss, there was no questions about that (this is especially clear if you read the quest texts in Stormsong Valley). Now the story being rushed and the whole thing becoming a jumbled mess, thats absolutly true, but there were no "shifts" here.

    should've been similar to opening Sunwell Isle, with a campaign to progress the landing of the Stabalizers around Nya'lotha, which would make more and more of the zone accessible (with your cloak allowing you to press into areas that haven't been unlocked yet but having sanity drain while doing so to do daily quests to prepare that area for landing a stabalizer (working similar to the Warfront mechanic with people doing the dailies and other turn-ins progressing counter, which then opens up a scenerio for a week or two that allows you to participate in landing the stabalizer and getting some gear) (with the Stabalizers allowing you to regenerate your sanity while in Nya'lotha and finally granting access to the raid once the Four stabalizers were in place and then need to fight through the raid to apply the final one at N'Zoth. Along with multiple zones experiencing Void attacks that work similar to the demonic/scourge invasions. And maybe even 1-2 old god themed Dungeons once 2 stabalizers were placed.

    • @capitaldcolon1795
      @capitaldcolon1795 Před 3 lety

      Lets be honest. This was planned.
      But Blizzard knew that people mostly dont like bfa, so they used the ressources for shadowlands.
      Start of New xpac is more likely that new players start aswell, instead of joining on the last raid Tier.
      So they probably thought:
      We can invest a lot of time and effort into making an amazing zone that probably wont change the negative view many have of bfa. So lets just put the work into shadowlands instead so people praise the xpac in start.

    Thematically, Ny'alotha should have been like Coldharbour from ESO.
    An entire zone you are trapped within and cannot escape from. You establish or discover a place safe from N'zoth's influence and gaze. As you complete quests in the zone (focused on saving people from N'zoth's influence or saving pockets of resistance that entered before you) you unlock certain benefits that greatly benefit you in the raid proper.
    These could be in the forms of buffs against certain bosses, or NPCs that help you during the boss fights. Alternatively, much like Coldharbour, you can choose to take on the final effort without doing these quests and unlocking these benefits.
    Additionally, it could have been really cool of you could only group and do the raid with people who had completed all of the Ny'alotha quests that you had. So if you've done nothing, you can't queue with people who've done everything.
    Ny'alotha, for me, is tainted by the abject waste of potential.

    • @JayStrun
      @JayStrun Před 3 lety

      Really, unlike Coldharbour, Ny'alotha felt void of any permanence. It's some abstract thing that can only appear in one of two old zones once a week. ALL of Azeroth should have been transformed into Ny'alotha (hence the idea of not being able to leave it until you've completed the raid)

    I really like your reaction videos, Asmon, but sometimes it's really, really obvious you know little to nothing about the Horde lore and storylines ^^°
    A: Vol'jin listening to a loa's voice in his head? - Well, of course he does, because as Shadow Hunter (and a troll!) you listen to the loa and do as they say. It's always been that way, and it always will be. Why did he die in battle to a lesser demon? - Also Muah'zala's doing (yes, it really is that way - and sorry for misspelling the name but I won't look it up now...
    B: Why where the valkyr in Darkshore? - Because they had to raise an army for Sylvanas, specifically two night elves, Delaryn and Sira. No valkyr, no raising new undead. Why two of them? - It's faster that way (I guess). They where not there to fight, they were there to create undead - and one joined in the battle so the other could raise Delaryn and Sira in peace.
    C: Sylvanas being lesbian? - ... I'd like to direct your attention to this: all Windrunner sisters choose human men to be their partners. Plus, she made a deal with the jailor... who counts as male. Just sayin' ...
    D: How did Thrall grow his hair back? - Valid question :) Though Blizz will probably say, it has something to do with the elements... of that his wife did it while he slept. Who knows?
    E: Is all old god corruption gone now? - Yes, according to Magni... yeah... ... sure... moving on.
    F: Loa lore: the power of a loa depents on how many followers he has (like... yes, streamers - sorry for that, couldn't be helped). In the book, Nathanos and his team kill Bwonsamdi's priests to weaken him - then they would kill him. Which would've worked since Horde players killed several loa during BfA (okay, only one but still...).
    G: I agree, that was a really good video :) And leaving out Jaina, Calia, Thrall and all that? Pfft, who cares? :D ... Seriously, who does by this point?
