Nope, not really. Show the reused art asset.

oh wow they reused some art big deal

WoW is for losers.

OH NO A VIDEO GAME DEVELOPER REUSED ASSETS? ALERT THE PRESSES. CALL THE PRESIDENT. WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TRAVESTY.

Isnt this supposed to be the afterlife? Just looks like people doing the same shit they used to do in the living world. Which is dumb storytelling to give the player some chores to do.
Thinking about it, the whole concept of the Shadowlands might be somewhat dumb. Its the afterlife, except it isnt. But hey look! Arthas is back! You love Arthas? Right?.

That told me absolutely nothing about Maldraxxus or Draka. Maybe I won't go back to WoW for SL after all.

FIRE CHRISTIE GOLDEN

Why would they spoil anything in an animatic? They're just supposed to pique your interest so that you find out in game.

does anyone care about draka?

gib orc gf pls

based

They did it intentionally.

>it's the afterlife but creatures are still fighting and killing eachother even though no one can die there since they're already dead
it would be one thing if they set it up intentionally to be constant stagnant conflict where the dead endlessly fight eachother for no conceivable gain and just get back up to keep fighting after they die. But if that's not the case then what the fuck.
I haven't played WoW since WoD is this ever explained in game or is it just lore from some fucking book.

user they do DIE, and that time it's permanent oblivion

arthas did nothing wrong, uther is big fago

Kind of reminds me of the eternal conflict in Diablo. Weird right?

I hate how samey these animations look. There’s always a wide shot of the main character at the end saying some cringy epic catchphrase.

That's pretty much their entire 'story' these days. It doesn't connect and themes constantly clash or stuff is retconned/feels like it's done a certain way only so the expansion can continue/a character doesn't have to die.

But they think its okay because 'rule of cool'

Yeah, their cinematics etc have been predictably "epic" for years now.

Why are demons in the Shadowlands?

she is a child abuser

>could've had Kel'Thuzad to tie into the Arthas/Uther short
>get some literally who
I was this close to resubscribing. Nothing is a better deterrent to playing WoW than Blizzard itself.

The Kel'Thuzad stuff is actually post 8.0 raid for maldrax and reven. it is really cool and includes a small remake of the nax raid fight with him in it.

LOL

I'm usually a fan of characters rolling another class but going from warrior to rogue seems kinda lame.
Guess they wanted to use Garona but forgot that she was still alive.

That's because their lead writers have only ever produced fanfiction and blog-tier fantasy writing.

>a small remake of the nax raid fight with him in it.
YAYAYAYA
I REMEMBER
I REMEMBER THE KEL THUZAD FIGHT
YES BLIZZARD YESSSSSS
THEY REFERENCED THE THING THAT I REMEMBER!!!!

Why the fuck would they reuse demons when they dont really exist anymore after the defeat of Sargeras?

you'd think they'd just kill garona to throw her in the shadowlands, but I guess thrall's family tree needed more exposure

Thrall's mom is not important enough to be given such a role.

Because they re-used those exact demons to make an undead model in game.

demons don't just cease to exist because their dictator got imprisoned

>resub each expansion or patch
>always disappointed by the amount of grinding and chores you got to do to get anything done

No thanks
