[@user-xb1xb2wu6n]

Anthony Defilippo ohhh boeh if only you read the spoilers for shadowlands. This all makes sense. Yes her killing these night elves and burning the tree... there was a very important reason for why she did this. A key to let you know good this is... Sylvanas is a key and essential player in helping us save all of Azeroth inhabitants. And worst/best of all, Sylvanas is not who she was thought to be, but who she was displayed to be, was very necessary. Now it was needed for us to not see this coming. Letting you know now, there’s a lot of distractions that took place in legion and bfa. A lot of the lore for Sylvanas in those expansions were just results of what she was actually doing in secret and a little of it was personal. These all were distractions though. But there were hints placed in each cinema and in quest lines for bfa and legion to let us know what was going on.

heheh.... im glad i wasnt the only one that actually noticed that, and considering Nathanos is quite a vile guy.... But i question Saurfang approving of this, he's honorable in magnitudes greater than anyone in WoW currently, veteran of every single previous war, veteran of the might of kalimdor, veteran of the Lich King War, Garrosh's Betrayal and single handledly, even at his age, brutalized the entire klaxxi corridor that lead to garrosh's chamber, thats one though orc, and i dont see him blindly following sylvanas anytime soon

Im betting Saurfang isnt approving on it. Wouldnt surprise me if he is hoping she takes it far enough to cause her own downfall within the horde.

[@skittlez13gurl]

No, he is not approving. He didn't even want to throw that axe into Malfurions back, he even said himself it was dishonorable. And this...There's absolutely no honor in it. Saurfang would never ever do something like this.

[@OWA_Freerunning]

Sylvanas, along with Illidan, and maybe Jaina, are the only characters with a somehow deep psychology. Like, they've lived through things and made conclusions out of their experiencies. They act like the characters that lived through what they have lived, and really aim a certain goal.

[@CobaltTheCrusader]

Sylvanas is not morally grey and I think this proves it. People are calling her "Garrosh 2.0" but those people are wrong. Very wrong. Dead wrong. She's Arthas 2.0. She's finally become the thing that she hated the most. What is the ethical difference between Sylvanas burning the Great Tree and Arthas burning Stratholme? At least Arthas had the excuse of "these people are poisoned and will turn into the undead". Sylvanas was told that the only people inside the Tree were innocents and non combatants...but she burned it anyway. ...Actually upon reflection this makes her WORSE than Arthas ._. EDIT: I know that Arthas did more than burn Stratholme. I was just comparing apples to apples here since both of them wound up burning some major city. Arthas' worst deeds were leaving soldiers to die in Northrend by destroying their ships home and then blaming hired Mercenaries for it so they are summarily executed by Arthas' soldiers. Arthas also lusted for the power to destroy demons and dreadlords and got it with the power of Frostmourne which further corrupted him and lead him down the path of the Lich King and killed his own father. But let's not pretend for a second that Sylvanas wouldn't sacrifice what little humanity she has left for more power or that if her parents were still alive she'd find some way to justify them. She's a stone cold killer and war monger who's been slowly developed to be the monster she sought out to destroy all along. It's a great development for a character! She's a prime villain but she's essentially become another Arthas. I expect her to eventually retreat and come into contact with Bolvar somehow.

The Horde can still be savage while at the same time being honorable, those are not antagonistic qualities with Sauerfang being the perfect example.

[@tristanfaulkner6003]

Well, to be fair, back in orcs and humans and warcraft 2 the Horde was definitely evil, the point was that players could play as the bad guys, which almost never happened in games at the time and was a welcome change from constantly playing as pure hearted heroes. The Horde has never acted like they were morally upright, they prize freedom and strength. The one thing the Horde has over the Alliance is that they don't pretend to be something they are not, the Alliance had more problems with infiltration, corruption, and betrayal. Usually when the Horde goes bad, they are honest about it and don't bother to hide or pretend to be holier than thou.

[@flamingchickin]

@@darthrevan5609 The problem with that is um, he was using lich king powers in the cinematic. Throughout legion he was sitting on icecream citadel powering up.

Sylvanas should've had some of her loyalists and bolvar should've had death knights like four horseman and stuff.

[@CedgeDC]

This would have been fine if it happened last week. The episodic build up is just making us wait for things that we already know happen. They've told us the ending, and then make us wait for the story to unfold, but it unfolds with no surprises. It would honestly be fine if they just told it all at once. This way however, just ends up being awkward.

[@MrGrimfacade]

Cedric Der Calousdian you didn't "know" anything everything up to this point has been wild speculation and data mining. both of which should never be trusted as concrete information.

[@CedgeDC]

Wild speculation? Wild speculation would be if we saw a screenshot of teldrassil burning, before we knew the plot of the expansion and began to guess at who did it. Blizz had already told us that Teldrassil gets burned down, and the horde did it. All the material including films and comics etc, seem to point to Sylvanas being completely evil now. She lead a campaign across Kalimdor destroying several towns. At that point, we leave the realm of wild speculation, and fall safely within the confines of common sense. They ended last weeks event hanging, but already told us what happened next. You can't expect people to be blown away, when you then reveal exactly what you told them they'd be seeing. That's all.

[@highfive6095]

I'm good with Sylvannas making the call. But making the call on a whim, just to be nasty? Takes two seconds to write that, and one second to process it. It's the World Tree, the potential for a good backstory is phenomenal. So I hope I'm missing something.

[@CedgeDC]

I honestly have no problems with what unfolded. I'm excited to see what this means for the horde, and if this means some kind of radical shift is coming (I hope so!) I just think that delivering this into small chunks of content that amount to 15 minutes of gameplay per week, is spoiling it. I would way rather have played through the whole thing in one shot last Tuesday, instead of playing through half, getting bored for a week, having the cinematic spoiled for me, then playing through another 15 mins of content only to watch it again.

I always felt I understood Sylvanas. Destroy the Lich King, spend the unlife forced upon her to take revenge on the one who did so much harm. Then choosing to stay around afterwards to protect the people who looked to her from alliance zealots and from a warchief who viewed them as worse than cannonfodder. She did some truly horrible things in pursuit of those goals, sure, but I got it and I could see why her people followed her. The BFA cinematic and the explanation for the War of Thorns seemed to imply that she was, to a lesser extent, transferring some of that desire to protect the Forsaken at all costs to the rest of the Horde. And I was behind that. I was behind her. But...now? That was a petulant, childish act. I was hoping for a more imaginative reason for the world tree burning - a story twist beyond the obvious as we were promised - but this is somehow so much worse than if she'd planned to burn it all along. This was a spiteful, petty act. That wasn't For The Horde, that was just for her. I've always been a huge fan of the Banshee Queen. I don't think she was a good pick for Warchief, but I thought that that could have made for a good story in itself. Someone used to working in the shadows forced to lead from the front and split her focus. But what I saw here wasn't a Warchief. It wasn't even a Queen or a Ranger General.

Orc : we are going to kill everyone just because we are powerful and destroy ourself to be even more powerful so we can kill more people so we arent bored, cuz we have nothing else to do. Yea we will even use powers from the demons, but yea we will do that all in honor.

[@BBD1]

[@JH-vh2bp]

Imagine the people who create a undead will die instant when the battle for lordaeron starts

[@blackbokuto]
