Honestly, that was possibly the worst way to end an expac."Why you kill me? I was only trying to save you from...." <sound of death gurgles>I can't really stop laughing. A villain who was (effectively) an eleventh hour reveal himself, reveals at the eleventh hour there is another villain? Come on!I can picture the scene when we get to the point of facing this new "threat" to the cosmos...Khadgar, Illidan and anyone else with magic work to open an Argus-like portal to reveal the final boss of WoW...A giant hand reaching for the off switch.WoW's story is, at this point, pure comedy gold.Anybody seen that pen/paper RPG meme picture, with the cast of Lord of the Rings in one pane and the cast of Monty Python and the Holy Grail in the other? It's titled "How your gaming session starts out, and how it always ends up".I feel like that image sums up WoW increasingly more as time goes by. It started out as somewhat serious and dramatic and now just has cardboard villains and people running around going "Tis but a scratch!" as the writing team lops the metaphorical arms and legs off the story and characters.Where will it all end up, eh?
Ever had that Dungeons and Dragons campaign you designed to run from levels 1-10, but when you got there, you decided to add on some more stuff? Then you tried to link that stuff to your previous campaign and "woooooooow" your players with how creative and cool you are?But then when they get to the end, that enemy you thrust in at lvl 11 has no punch because the group didn't spend any of the main game interacting with, fighting against, finally defeating that enemy? Actually, they had never even heard of him?Ever had that moment when you realized you should have just had the group reroll at level 1 and start a new story?Steve Danuser has had that moment....
Very different. Sargeras wanted to wipe out all life so it could not be corrupted and believed that life would happen again on it's own. Jailor wants to control all current life as a unifying force against "What's to come" aka the lich king's goal which was unifying azeroth as a singular force to fight against the Legion knowing they would return.
Did they really just make Sargeras a second time? God on council finds out about secret big threat, tells others, gets laughed at, betrays them to do it by himself, and then cries when we beat him because he couldn't be bothered to talk to us about it too?
What about Sylvanas and Tyrande? What will Tyrande do about Sylvanas situation? kill her? forgive her? punish her? what about the lich king and the scourge? The Helm of Domination was destroyed, so, what about the Undead Scourge? Who or what will keep them under control? You will end the expansion this way?
no it makes sense though it's a little redundant the burning legion wanted to wipe out life to prevent a bigger bad from getting to it first and the was just fel vs shadow or void even if you add death into that fight there are still three other cosmic forces that have their own agendas. if successful the jailer would have subjugated everything which would of ended the risk of that conflict from ever happening, but at the cost of the entirety of realities individual free will.
This was actually the cinematic equivalent of jumping out of a building and using a parachute. It was done in a way where Shadowlands' entire narrative thread was cut off and there is zero spillover from Shadowlands into future expansions. It’s going to be a forgotten and a “pretend you didn’t experience that” moment in WoW.It also probably wasn’t the original ending. This is the ending after everyone overwhelmingly hated the direction of the game and narrative.
The story writing this whole expansion has been less than sub-par. I'm extremely disappointed with how everything has turned out, and have lost complete interest in the story of WoW. Maybe, hopefully, they explain the Jailer more, but at this point I'm seriously doubting it.
That was it... Well I'll give them this they put more effort into this than n'zoth's one..... who they hyped for TWELVE GD YEARS!
Blizzard took the saying, "There's ALWAYS a BIGGER fish!" very seriously 😣🥱😴
Lame ... /End
And that's why they kept his reasoning hidden the whole time. They need to stop trying to write mystery boxes because the reveal is never, ever worth the build up or withholding it.
Ow woah another end boss that had good intentions. /Yawn
