I have a big question for you Grim, are you currently in the process of making the WoW Dragonflight in a nutshell video and if so… how messed up and funny is going to be? (And a very curious question for what are your thoughts on the Dracthyr for you? Are they a great addition to the game or a bad one, for me I think their a great addition to the game and are the reason I’m picking WoW back up again because of them though I would like them to have another class to them that focus on being a tank and a damage dealer but I’m not complaining about it since I like running my Augmentation build for my Dracthyr)

[@kaporalhart]

Hey wait a minute. I dinstinctly remember reading some official lore or something depicting Sylvanas in the "afterlife". She was met with eternal tourment with everybody else who was damned like her, being bullied by some entities for eternity. She had no body, no agency over anything. While in that state, she met arthas, who was in the exact same position as she was. And for the first time, pitied him. It's only later that she met the valkyr, learned that this fate was something that awaited everyone whose soul was tainted by undeath, and that they were stuck there as well. The pact was that one of the valkyr would sacrifice her life to bring sylvanas back to the realm of the living, the other valkyrs piggy backing her soul, and that her new goal in life was just not fucking die, and find a way to break the curse that makes undead people go to hell when they die (again). So you're telling me all that was retconned in shadowlands in order to create the jailer ?

[@joshuasmith4643]

Pretty much

[@Lorekeeper72]

Yep just like how the retconned it so the Dreadlords had always served the Jailor, how the whole Lich King plot had been his idea in the first place, how he'd been the one to ensure Sylvanus became warchief so she could start a massive war all with the goal of feeding more souls into the Maw so the Jailor can become stronger because.... I dunno, reasons? Some bigger threat? He never explains it.

[@kaporalhart]

@@Lorekeeper72 I haven't played shadowlands past 8.0, but from what i gathered, he told her he was goign to maek a world where death doesn't exist, and then went SYKE i'm gonna be the master of my own universe.

[@oxoniumgirl]

it didnt so much get retconned, rather they just wrote horrible conclusions for all the lead ins. the reason everyone tainted by undeath were trapped and agencyless was revealed (only if you went Kyrian) to be because the Jailer had imprisoned their souls in a personal soul vault in the maw. It was never explicitly stated but it was shown that if you broke into the vault and destroyed the soul prisms it released the person whose soul fragment was trapped there, breaking their curse of undeath. but yeah Zovaal the jailer was extremely lame and badly written and they worked so hard to make him be the mastermind behind all the major events not directly caused by the void/old_gods that it just came off looking like a retcon. the sad thing was that if they actually did retcon things it would have been smoother and more logical writing that landed better. instead they just shoehorned him into every plot line.

The issue is it seems like blizzard constantly creates something with the intention of expanding on it later, and when later happens, they kind of go “oh yeah, that.” And come up with something quick to do away with it. See: Murozond being taken care of in a dungeon after YEARS of speculation into that plot.

[@adamm2091]

[@amshermansen]

Just shows the need for dedicated writers and keeping track of your lore. In hindsight, WoW could have been a much more coherent story to tell, if they had spent more time setting up lore and making notes for "if something happens with XXXXXX, don't forget about XYZ"

I'm salty right now about unfinished quests in Vanilla that got retconned in Wrath. The Eranikus quest being the big one (he's the big green sleeping dragon you kill in the temple of Attal'Hakkar (Swamps of Sorrow), which you could absorb in some soul gem and the quest to free him ends in a dud in Winterspring. That was going to be my 700th quest in Kalimdor too. I'm salty as krait.

If you stand in the room long enough you hear screams and dark whispers. What they're doing is never actually revealed, but there's two skulls in the grass beside the house.

[@mr.whistler6114]

The previous unaccessible zone in Tirisfal glades had a special circle where every once in a while animals and faerie dragons gathered to perform what looked like a ritual. Back then one of the main theory was that it was some sort of link to the Emerald dream (or nightmare) and that it was what caused Highborn elves to go crazy.

[@goblinounours]

Well, I have a few mysteries for you. Back in Vanilla, we had the gates of Uldum at the bottom of Tanaris. Everybody was wondering what it was. The gates seemed to indicate that something had escaped. I remember expecting either a dungeon or raid like Uldaman. When they announced Cataclysm in a BlizzCon, Metzen himself was telling us how it would reveal more Titan mysteries much like Uldaman and Ulduar did before... only to deliver a mess of Indiana Jones references. Uldum is still on my 'Top 3 of most hated zones' to this day. Then we had the mystery of what was going on behind the gates of Gilneas. Why were they closed? Back then, there was all sorts of theories, ranging from Azshara invading with her naga, to remnants of the Scourge, or just lots of gnolls and murlocs. Nobody saw the Worgens coming, that's for sure. All of that wait for the zone to be essentially irrelevant for nearly 14 years... Can't also ignore how people were puzzled by the time it took for Blizzard to handle Zandalar, Kul'tiras, Plunder Isle, Tel'Abim... some of those we're still waiting for. It's crazy to me how Pandaria came BEFORE Kul'tiras, which was officially still part of the Alliance of Lordaeron back in WC3, and (in true Blizzard-fashion), the devs were careful not to give us straight answers as to what was going on there. You can also mention the mystery of Turalyon and Alleria, for which Blizzard even had a loading screen tip "No one has seen Alleria and Turalyon for years" up from TBC to Legion. Ultimately, that might be one mystery they arguably didn't mess up. Let's not forget mysteries like "what exactly is Elune?". Is she a First One? Is she a Titan? A Void-Lord? A Naaru? Some kind of First-One-adjacent entity, like the Eternals of Shadowlands are? Are the Old Gods like Yogg'saron *REALLY* dead? Blizzard seems to say yes, but then again, it would make sense if they were lying, because we've seen manifestation of Yogg'saron in the pre-patch of Legion in Ulduar, and N'Zoth's plan makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE if he really died in BFA. Similarly, who was the obviously prison where we fight Sarkareth in DF meant for? And a lot more, I'm sure!

[@yousefalsubaie2648]

Love your input mate, shows how much you really love the Warcraft universe 😍😍

[@comedyzone]

Completely forgot about the Naaru - hot damn there is so much left behind when we move on from each expansion.

[@goblinounours]

@Leeloo_the_fox It seemed SO important to N'Zoth that we got the Blade of the Black Empire where Xal'atath was kept in. He went to some big lengths to have Xal'atath freed from it, then have us tested, then have the dagger be used to lead the Horde and the Alliance to Nazjathar so that they would free him... everything culminating in his big show of power in Ny'alotha. It would make sense if he orchestrated it all, a big dramatic finish, to make us believe he was dead, while he would actually be free to prepare something big. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. Otherwise it would be a total waste of potential, which is sadly very possible for modern-day Blizzard.

[@goblinounours]

@@comedyzone If you've done the intro to unlock the Mag'har allied race, you should know that in the present of Alternate-Universe (AU) Draenor, the High-Exarch Yrel is leading the Army of the Light in a universe where the Legion has been beaten (as the Legion was officially shared across the multiverse, so when we killed Argus, we shut-down their effort through all realities), and where the first Horde has been essentially pacified. So that version of the Army of the Light became what our Draenei could've become in a similar situation (when Velen was still a fervent believer in Fate and in the Light), and they converted everything they could to their army of zealots, and purged the rest. Bottom-line, in another universe, there's a pretty freaking huge version of the Army of the Light that features at least Draenei and Mag'har orcs (including the Exarch Hellscream, the alternate version of the son of Grom Hellscream that he had after the events of Warlords of Draenor, who may or may not look like Garrosh as a paladin), and possibly obeying the orders given by a version of the Prime Naaru Xera that Illidan was never there to destroy. Imagine what might happen if THEY figure out how to re-open the Dark Portal to either their version of Azeroth where the Horde never invaded, or to OUR version of Azeroth where they know most of the Mag'har fled. Food for thoughts.

[@GtotheOria]

Another banger lol. And I appreciate you bringing the jailer back. This is the only acceptable format for him to come back in so that's the only time I'd say something like that. If you need video ideas, you could do one similar to this one with characters that went decades without story resolution in game. In particular I can think of Eranikus off the top off my head. IIRC we all got his gem as a quest reward for sunken temple in vanilla, but his actual story wasn't resolved until Cataclysm in uuuh...feralas I think? Anyway I'll continue to keep the spirit of your version of the jailer alive by quoting him as much as possible in the WoW subreddit.

[@wrathshorts2894]

I miss the mystery of Nyalotha. People always wondered. Where is it? What is it like? What is sealed there? People thought it was in the south seas. People thought it was on the far side of Azeroth. Some people even thought it had something to do with the Darkmoon Fair. Then it got revealed in a throw away story arc that it exists in the old gods imagination. We will never get to explore it. Never REALLY see it's horrors. We just blew it up with N'zoth. To add insult to injury, they also retconned that you can't kill an old god. Now we have really killed them all and only shadowy remnants remain.

[@hal1385]

Shadowlands was one of the biggest missed opportunities in WoW. There are so many characters throughout the franchise's history that could have made for great reunions, but we got barely any. Imagine a version of Shadowlands where the invasion of Tor'ghast was to break out the souls of all of WoW's greatest villains and convince them to ally with us in a reality-breaking final battle with the Jailer. Instead, we just equip a Burger King birthday crown and beat the Jailer in a back-alley brawl where he claims he was really the good guy all along, turns into a robot whose batteries fall out and never elaborates.

I loved trying to get out of bounds back in the Burning Crusade days.

I will never forgive Blizzard for doing the Ashbringer dirty like this. A fucking quest reward. What a joke.

[@Boltizar49]

Ashbringer still felt great in Legion. My first character was a paladin back in the BC pre-patch and while leveling I just sort of found Tirion and his questline. I’d learn more about him over time and when Wrath came out and I saw him at the end of the DK starting zone, I got super hype. Him handing me the Ashbringer after having done his quest, helped him in Wrath, and again in Cata, it just sort of hit. During the entirety of Legion I always stuck with the default skin. I have the Mage Tower version and the hidden version but I stuck with the default because that’s the sword that made me feel like a hero.

I remember another Legion mystery being what exactly Zul'Jin heard when he made Sylvanas warchief at the behest of "the spirits". Sure it turned out to be the Jailer after so many expansions, but a lot of people liked digging around to see what kind of evil Loa could have infected his mind in his last hours, or trying to find out if it was one of the Legion's April Tricks.

[@smiIingman]

In vanilla WoW there was of course the Chained Essence of Eranikus which had a small questchain with a seemingly dead end. I was obsessed with speculation about the Emerald Dream. I would watch those videos where someone found the developer area for what was probably a scrapped content patch, overlaid with Darude Sandstorm. Those same game assets were used in TBC in the barrow dens of Moonglade and always I thought "will this be it??? will we get to go to the dream??" but it didn't happen until Legion in the end, and now with this current patch of dragonflight we can actually explore some of it properly.

13:22 I've heard some people talk about how when they imagine Goku, they hear his voice from DBZ Abridged. I definitely experience the same thing with your version of the Jailer. Thank you for making Shadowlands a little better! 🤣

The way they decided to just "kill" off Arthas like that after defeating Anduin was just horrible. Couldve done something to his storyline again. He never was shown in any area within shadowlands he was shown very shortly as a wisp, Just like how they had done Uther's storyline, we couldve seen discussion with Sylvanas and Arthas than just seeing Sylvanas getting closure. Really horrible writing

Blizzard: So Tirion, you're gonna be dying in the Legion intro quest. Tirion: Ah, a glorious and inspiring sacrifice staving off the forces of the burning legion! Blizzard: Nah you're just gonna get burped on by some giant freak no one has ever heard of and then you'll fall in some irradiated water. Tirion: 👁👄👁

I don't even care what the video was about. He could make tutorials about peeling bananas with WoW or XIV models and I would love it. His work is SO damn good and funny.

It's like, sometimes I wish Blizz would just be HANDS OFF. Great video as always, Captain Grim!

cheers ^^

Always a pleasure Grim! I can remember stumbling across some of these discussions back in the day and really looking forward to what Blizzard (then ActiBlizz) would do with them. They all feel like rather large misses for the most part and Ashbringer especially. Since they've embraced Classic+ though I'd be interested to see if perhaps they take a second stab at some of these and maybe do them a bit better 😉

These types of mysterious reminds me of my EverQuest days where there would always be lots of theories on how to spawn rare mobs or get rare items. They were often very similar to the "stand in this spot and jump 584 times" part. I guess MMOs were just like that back then when we didn't have so much datamining and guides everywhere.

With your way of storytelling being so committed to the canon yet filled with humor both verbally and nonverbally. I’d love to see how you’d do the unavailable Atiesh storyline/questline.

darkshore had a couple of mysteries that, afaik, have never been resolved. one was the bones in the red crystal along the mountains, which i've seen speculated to be the bones of gul'dan. the other was why sea turtles and threshers kept beaching themselves along the shore. was it because teldrassil was corrupted by xavius? did it have to do with naga somehow? i don't know
