WoW - Legion - Lore

Did Sylvanas get HUMANed?

How do you like the story in Legion so far?

Sylvanas best girl

the beginning was complete trash and I unsubbed once I saw the child of light cutscene
it's just a less fluid diablo 3 and I can already play that without subbing for dungeon queues

There's an actual story in Legion?

I thought it was just a massive clusterfuck clinging to nostalgia by bringing in old characters and using the "timeline" cliche to make it all somehow work out

>In the year 1990+20+7
How can you enjoy it anymore? All the zones are the same shit where the game holds your hand and guides you from quest hub to quest hub where you get one quest each. Everywhere you go people line up to suck your dick because you're The Great Hero of whatever. It's all the same. Go to zone Y, help epik OC donut steel race X (typically existing race + some minor extra feature = new race), and become their fabled hero of legend.

They've also killed and brought back to life just about every major plot character save for Sargeras by now.

I don't know how they did it but Sylvanas is even bigger cancer than Thrall ever was

worst thing in warcraft lore by far, wow doesn't have anything near decent writers anymore, its even gotten to the point that the god damn blood elves have the best leader in the entire horde by virtue of everyone ignoring him

Nah that was Warlords of Draenor

Thrall was Metzen's self-insert. Sylvanas is the current writer's supreme waifu, thus proving handily that no matter how shit the competition is, waifufags are still the worst.

According to the new short story she actually craved BHC

>Sylvanas is the Western Lightning
Deepest lore.

kind of makes me glad, in a fucked up way, that as badly as it was handled, at least Arthas was killed off before the Sylvanas waifufagging reached critical mass

imagine if with today's writers we went to Northrend

>I don't know how they did it but Sylvanas is even bigger cancer than Thrall ever was

I haven't played in months but last time I did I remember her doing more or less nothing beside failing to become immortal and getting dicked over by Greymane.

she gets to do all kind of horrible things without repercussion, then get a free redemption automatically making anyone opposing her evil (including greymane) and is now the divinely ordained leader of the horde

>we're running out of bosses for loot pinata
>lol deus ex machina
>look at all these orcs we can use
>lets kill them all off in quest cinematics
>oops we ran out of content I guess the expansion is over
classic blizzard

Why the fuck did they let Knaak and Christie Golden write so many fucking novels. They're all terrible. The only decent ones are The last guardian and Shadows of the Horde.
And that's mostly because they don't have shitty Timetraveling self-inserts like Rhonin or teenage drama like Jaina Proudmoore.

so what are the loot pinata's that are left?

Sargeras is the big one, then there's Azshara and N'Zoth and what else?

The evil void lords who were the true villains all along

if you tell half the story in shitty books then millions of people will be forced to buy your shitty books
and if you hire 5th rate authors you get the majority of the income because they don't dare argue for proper royalties

well that or everyone stops giving a crap about your story, its a coinflip really

I think Rise of the Lich King is the best one, if only because the Elric vibes are through the roof once more. Mind you, Arthas isn't one tenth as interesting a character as Elric is.

oh yes I forgot about them
because everytime you think they hit a new low, turns out there's further depths to sink

They'll find someone to resurrect. Also the old gods since apparently they can't be killed.

>void lords
>threatening
You already kill one in fucking Mana-Tombs. Guy is a pussy.

maybe they'll do something like have all the old gods fuse into a single super-old god which you then have to fight through various phases that mimic all the other old god boss battles

>the final boss of WoW is this thing
how does this make you feel
but we haven't killed the Voidest Lord yet

Is WoW just the Supernatural of video games by now?

Is this expansion still awful for alts?

Needs more tendrils and spikes
Pretty much, they keep pulling shit out of their ass. The void lords are probably just puppets of the MULTIVERSE DARKNESS GODS OF DOOM

that sounds so utterly shit and yet I unironically want it to happen

Rise of the Lich king has some really good moments like Invincible's backstory or the dialogue at the end between Arthas and Nerzhul. The rest tho is really boring.
Similarly, War Crimes has good moments like Baine forgiving Garrosh,but it leads to nothing because Timetravelling. Also you see the Windrunners reunited which also leads to nothing because it's a book and has no effect on the actual story.

>implying all the dead Titans didn't actually go to Twisting Nether and plot Sargeras' doom there
>implying players won't meet them before taking the fight to Void Lords
>implying they don't immediately get corrupted by the Void Lords and become raid bosses
it's like you don't know how blizzard plots work

Haven't played WoW in years but I checked out Legion lore since Illidan is the only character I give a shit about now that Arthas is dead and Turalyon is god knows where

Can we accept that Pandaria had the best lore yet?

...

Damn I was hoping she would be stuffed in a bin by now.

Haven't played since Cataclysm.
Fill me in on what happened

What is this from?

Is there even much of Sylvannas in 7.2 on the horde side? I don't see her at all from the alliance side.

There's some progression in Anduin's story involving Greymane and Velen. Those three alliance leaders are really stepping up their game.

Pandas, warlords and a legion.

>Priest quests literally confirm that Naaru are Void Lords
>He still believes the Naaru's lies

It's still the same artifact AP AK grinds. The difference is that there's timeless isle-like armor tokens now that you buy with nethershards.

Someones portfolio work I think.
