I can't get over how Sylvanas and Varian look in this. To me, she really looks like the leader of the undead and he looks like a man who has seen and done everything. They look right. I can't think of another way to put it.
+April Turnbull She is the leader of the undead and as Forsaken... my queen. Hopefully she will get the major role she deserves in this expansion. FOR THE BANSHEE QUEEN!
Just want to say this real fast. But the whole WoW movie should have been cgi like this humans and all. The humans make the CG look weird imo. And something about this CG feels slightly better, probably because it's a smaller undertaking but yeah.
+Khamis1203 That would be ridiculously expensive, and probably take 20 years before they're done.. We'll that, or you just treat your CGI artists like slaves, force them to work every day, every hour, every second, and replace them every time one of them dies. Then maybe you'll be able to crank out a solid movie within maybe a decade.
i was really hoping the entire movie was gonna be cg like the cinematics. Bliz has just done such an amazing job with them especially in WoD. Plus the voice actors are all awesome as well!
I wouldn't complain :D Luckily I love Duncan Jones' movie "Moon" and a lot of the actors in the fllm so I am hopeful. It is hard to beat the Blizzard cinematics though, so glorious.
+christina1986ify that's the whole point. let's be honest, no matter how much I love Sylvanas, if that was lore'thremar I would have bought legion by now.
+christina1986ify Christina, of course Sylvanas has her self interests in mind when going at it against the legion but according to her updated lore her people and valkyrie are at stake. She only has a small few left and without them she cant populate the forsaken or reincarnate herself. Of course she isn't the same women she was before she became the Banshee queen but with her army of the forsaken and her beloved home of the undercity in jeopardy she's willing to do what it takes to keep it all safe. However Sylvanas is apart of the horde and it may be hard to trust her but Sylvanas hasn't personally done anything towards Varian that would cause him to be hesitant. She followed orders for years by a corrupted warchief and she carries out her duties above and beyond. And to finish up, the basic Idea of legion is to protect their homeland, to protect Azeroth from the burning legion so there is an after to the story. Who knows what happens soon or later.
+Louis Devore Yeah, here I am ranting about how the design efforts to create more immersion actually ruin immersion, and then they even go a step further in breaking the fourth wall, as if to say: "Yes, you were right about those water droplets. There actually IS a guy holding a camera."
D Brown I think he meant 3:38. It's not a real immersion-breaker like for example splash on the camera, but that underlines his remark further. Although any kind of shaky camera would suffice for that. Otherwise one could assume that the weapon swing was meant to be aimed at a person standing right at the viewpoint at the time.
The best moment in this cinematic was when the tomb of Sargeras was shown. This is the first time a cinematic shows the magnitude of a demon invasion. Not even the war of the ancients was that huge. And that beacon of fel-energy it's emitting. So good.
+The Eye that's a good point. They were foreshadowing his death pretty hard in that cinematic but I didn't put together the connection between him and the Lordaron King.
+The Eye This cinematic pretty much confirmed he's going to either die or get removed from the fight somehow. The heartfelt letter to Anduin is pretty much screaming "HE IS GOING TO DIE!!!"
I wouldn't say the Horde exactly chickened out. Sylvanas (who already has a terrible reputation and with good reason) realized that the Horde were getting surrounded from all sides. Vol'jin going down in battle would have a significant effect on morale, and with the Legion summoning more and more and MORE demons, she realized they had two options: try to flee to the Alliance's side of the island and get torn to shreds by Legion spellcasters, long range fighters and flying demons while doing so, or be massacred and be forced to watch as the Alliance suffers the same fate as them. Of course, this led to the fallout between the factions and accusations flying both ways (not necessarily without past merit), but in this case, Sylvanas had the foresight to realize that running away and living to fight another day was the right call.
Varian Wrynn is such an amazing character. In the WoW Universe, a lot of the "main" and fan favourite characters date back to the RTS Warcraft games (Arthas, Illidan, Malfurion, Tyrande, Jaina, Sylvanas, Thrall, etc., etc.) I think, hands down, regardless if he's your favourite Warcraft hero overall or not, it;'s undeniable that Varian is probably the coolest character to debut within the MMO itself. Whatever happens in Legion, he'll always be my High King!
3:03-3:22 Anduin..I now believe as you do...that the Legion will be a badass expansion. But to play it, you must be willing to wait till summer of 2016 *WHICH MEANS WE HAVE OVER A YEAR OF 6.2!! GODDAMMIT BLIZZARD!*
What'd she do? Shoot some demons? Not very heroic. Sounds like her job. She hasn't done something heroic since she power slid into Frostmourne...which wasn't very heroic so nevermind.
The foresaken aren't Sylvannas's slaves, they are united under her leadership but they are not bound to her as Apothacary Putris shows. Even if they are raised by sylvannas' Val'kyr they are autonomous as shown by Lillian Voss
Rest in peace King Varian Wrynn, my king. You were the greatest king and warrior, and will continue being in our hearts. You still live in our hearts, the true warriors of the alliance.
I really like the part when Sylvanas and Varian noding to each other. They understood that conflict between this two great factions can't defeat certain enemies. Now they have to co-work with each other in the lore. But in-game they will always fight.
I also liked that the trailer included Varian shouting "For Azeroth". We're so used to "For the Horde" and "For the Alliance" that I felt it was a great symbol of union.
+Mak *puts on tin-foil hat* its a propaganda conspiracy! While Azeroth is the name of the planet, it is also the official name of the kingdom that Stormwind is the capital of, the Kingdom of Azeroth. So by King Varian Wrynn, the king of Stormwind, starting the trend of yelling "For Azeroth!" He is actually getting everyone, both horde and alliance, to cheer in the support of his kingdom. *takes off tin-foil hat* Or none of that is true and Blizzard is trying to retcon the idea of naming the kingdom Azeroth by ignoring it.
Legion was one my favourite expansion as a person who’s been playing since TBC and if anyone says anything else...you’re more than entitled to your own opinion and it’s just a game at the end of the day and we need more love in the community as of late
When he sacrificed himself at the Broken Shore, all i could think of was the scene at Siege of Orgrimmar between him and his son. "Father what are you doing?!" "What a king must do"
+Nuka Cola There are more of them in the Broken Isles. Not all of them died in Silverpine Forest, some were at battle of Andorthal which is later than the Silverpine storyline.
+We know Genocidal maniac? I think you might have him confused with Garrosh. Varian has been making character growth ever since he came back. He is by far the best racial leader at this moment and quite possibly the one that is the most balanced. If I had to vote, Varian would have my vote, with Magni being a close second (there is a very solid chance and some compelling evidence he is coming back).
+Raziel Listen here, There isn't going to be a Warcraft 4 any time soon. The entire RTS genre is pretty much dead. SC2 has no competitors left and other games have taken its throne in e-sports. They aren't going to make a game so big if RTS aren't doing well on the market. Maybe in the far future.
+yacine isthemastah But its sooo worth it. Cut all cinematics together and you get a better movie than the real movie. Only blizzards knows the real magic.
Everyone proclaims the game is dead, but I disagree. WoW, even though it's not as mind blowing as it was previously, has made some turns for the better despite it's turns for the worse. I'm in the Legion Beta, and I love it. I'm having just as much if not more fun than I did back in Wrath of the Lich King when I started playing. I really think that Blizzard hit home with Legion and I hope that they continue to do well and turn the community around in the right direction. After playing the beta I have a lot of renewed faith in the game, and I hope that the community enjoys the expansion as much as I already am just in the beta. I don't think it's dead at all, despite it's subscriber drops. I think Legion will bring back a lot of subscribers. I think Blizzard FINALLY got it.
Actually only the arena likes him....he was a guy who charged at 2 people with 2 armadas and still lost miserably.he was a man who criticised the horde while making all of its corrected mistakes again and again. There was respect for anduin fairly cause thrall respected him and so did voljin.but they don't respect Varian too much.not after somethings he did .probably after garrosh some did but at the end had he made the wrong choice there thrall wouldn't have held back at all.
+Ocl The Val'kyr are dead and gone after they rezzed Sylvanas in the Silver Pine Questline, but in a future patch Bolvar (Aka current Lick King) could reawaken and bring the Val'kyr back for just that purpose, adding a whole new faction and legion of undead to fight against the Burning Legion, think it's a awesome idea.
+Stormwind Champion So, if there are demons in the expansion, its immediatly tbc, even 'tho they're 2 completely different themes and stories? I dont get you.
@@leptinainccm You must have skipped the part where Varian and the end of Siege of Orgrimmar said: "If the Horde fails to uphold honor again, like Garrosh did, we will end you!" Also Shalamayne is a night elven blade. Giving it to The Butcher of Ashenvale is to defile the blade and Varian's memory. And it's yet another spit in the face of the night elves.
+Losing You to You To be fair, i am pretty certain you and i have have watched alot of the same videos. If everyone were to comment on every video they watched you would quickly begin to remember everyone. Gabriel simply comments everything he watches.
Losing You to You Yeah m2. I basicly see him in one of every tenth video i watch. And i watch alot of videos per day. Thing is its not that weird. I am sure thousands of other people watch the same types of videos as me. But most never comment regulary.
+DeadPoolGR RIGHT? I was pretty sad sitting in Force Awakens and seeing the Warcraft movie trailer - hearing people behind me murmuring and one saying 'don't think I'll see that.' But if the trailer they saw WAS THIS!
Honestly though, legion was a great expansion. And now with Bfa i really miss legion, so many of my friends were still playing back then and we had a blast raiding Nighthold and Tomb of Sargeras.
+Gerald Ursua Illidan behind the scenes: "OMG, omg, what should i do, will i play this scene well? i must not forget the lines!!" Producer: "Illidan, its only a fight scene". Illidan: "oh my god, i am not prepared!!!". *runs out of room histerically* no Illidan in cinematic.
+fata muijna Well in real time Azeroth, he's dead and in the Draenor time, he's still locked up and was never freed since the Burning Legion won't have any use of him.
fata muijna So the Azeroth timeline Illidan is dead. But the Draenor timeline he was imprisoned but was never freed because the Burning Legion didn't need him to open the portal from Azeroth's side since they're still dealing with Draenor.
This made me tear up for three reasons; they happen to indicate that this is going to be a great expansion: First, this speech is incredibly reminiscent of Terenas Menethil's talk to Arthas in WotLK, but is the exact ossosite, as it speeks about what Varian has learned from his son and not what he hopes his son will learn and see him do it twisted as Lich King. Second, with this we finally see a Sylvanas that behaves with morals that she SHOULD have. Someone that has suffered so much should know better than to turn into the instrument of their own suffering and forcing onto others what she herself swore eternal vengeance for. This one might actually meet her two sisters (still hoping for the return of Turalyon and Alleria) and be the most reasonable out of all three; she might even be the one that brings Dalaran back to neutral status by slapping some sense into Vereesa (and Jaina too, if she's at it). And third, this king is the first time since Anduin Lothar that I could respect the leader of the alliance. Bolvar was a good dude and all, but he didn't do much(before becoming the sacrifical LK, as I said, good dude^^); and all others that temporarily filled the role in some way were also just selfish for the most part. Varian really grew on me in Pandaria, which makes me regret not having played it live so much... but even there he was still growing to be a true leader of the Alliance.
"Someone that has suffered so much should know better than to turn into the instrument of their own suffering and forcing onto others what she herself swore eternal vengeance for." if this didnt age like milk
Whenever I watched a blizzard cinematic, I'll keep watching every other cinematics from them. Be it Overwatch, WoW or Starcraft. Can't go wrong with Blizzard's cinematics
I assume we saw Varian and Sylvanas not only due to the Alliance and Horde working together against the Legion are seen working together in this trailer but both are from the Eastern Kingdoms.The Broken Isles are just North West from the Eastern Kingdoms. They I would imagine be attacking from a South, South Easterly direction. I imagine Vol'Jin and Tyrande or other faction leaders from Kalimdor will be in close proximity to one another attacking from a West, South Westerly direction.
+Kyle Murray There are rumors that Stormwind and Undercity are destroyed by the legion which is why it's these two going there first. Again, just rumors, nothing confirmed, but does seem likely. Both of em, especially Stormwind, could use some updating at some point anyway, might aswell blow em up.
+Kyle Murray Probably that will happen, Sylvanas, Varian and Muradin attack from the east side while Tyrande, Vol'jin and Baine attack from the west side :DD
+Galejro ...Bombers in 1918 had 4 engines (Zeppelin Staaken R.VI for example, the biggest wooden plane produced). Destroying one of them was 25% loose of drag, and usually, with some smaller damages, it was enough to take it down. And it looks like you didn't looked much around in game (and in cinematic: time 1:08), these skyships have 4 engines too. Loosing one there is even worse there, because it is in corner of ship, making it very important for stability. 1 down = 100% crash. ... and for you, gnommers, horde gunship is made from 2 zeppelins, which are, as everybody knows, really fragile, especially against falling infernals...
+Jaroslav Jůza Yeah as soon as I saw the airships I thought "...They've known about infernals since the Third War and they think it's a great idea to put their king in an airship?!" Partial pardon for Sylvanas being on the Horde one since she's already dead and therefore can't drown and can always be put back together or something.
+Galejro Well, to be fair, I think this is only the second time an Alliance gunship was shot down, with the first one being the one in Pandaren starting area. Horde lost at least three ;p Heck, look what's written on Wowpedia page about gunships: Except for Orgrim's Hammer, nearly every Horde gunship introduced to date has been shot down or destroyed in some manner. This tradition was broken in the World of Warcraft: Legion trailer, in which the Alliance gunship crashes while the Horde one is able to realign itself.
well i must admit they can do movies, after i watched the Warcraft Movie in the theatre i somehow want to try this game out again. My last time playing WoW was in 2006 with a friends account :D
up to you but in my opinion its not the same anymore leveling up is to fast you can buy a max level now which is stupid the talent tree sucks half the spells have been removed classes have been dumbed down just dosent have that same feel no more
***** Yeah i heared from my friend he also stopped playing it because of the many changes. And after watching some LPs about WoW now i remembered why i didn't like playing the Game in the first place. its Graphics just looks to awfull to me. And i much prefer MMOS like FF14 more, thats why i just downloaded that game again xD
Krayzie Stryker lol I feel ya but the graphics is what makes wow what it is the cartoony goofy yet badass looking models but yeah the games not that good anymore I cant even stand doing pvp anymore theyve dumbed it down so much
***** Well if they ever made a WoW 2 i would like them to make the graphics like in their Trailers. Because this are the Graphics what i want. I don't like the simple cartoony look of it and ah yeah i need to mention i heared they want to bring a real classical WoW Server again maybe you at least can play that again :D
Because she's effing Sylvanas Windrunner and the bow is her iconic weapon. The most famous huntress in WoW lore. Her using anything else in a cinematic would be silly.
Oldangr That hadn't occurred to me! I apologize. Being a druid myself the nature thing makes sense. People usually just attribute Sylvanas to a hunter, what class would she fit best in?
+Oldangr They're apparently revamping marksmanship to be more like Sylvanas, come Legion: No pet at all, elven bow as their weapon, one talent lets them periodically call in undead minions to attack. Seems pretty Sylvanas.
I wonder why Sylvanas was there, maybe she just happened to be close by as all the other leaders were busy? Out of all the Horde leaders shes the least likely to help out Varian, but shes also the most popular horde leader so it makes sense to put her in the trailer for some fan service.
+hirumaredx True but then she may be having a change of heart or a change of plan, saying that though your right out of all of them there could of been Lor'themar or Baine who would of been more willing to jump to Varian's side rather than Sylvanas.
hirumaredx What about Khadgar (I think Medihv but whatever) surely he isn't sitting idle...I mean great cinematic and hyped but I need to know this. I don't wanna go another year without knowing the important stuffs
+Spuky Pally Well. The good news is I don't think Anduin is about to go find a two-handed evil sword that steals the souls of those he runs through. Priests can't equip those. :)
iNerTx Well, I only started playing WoW around the time Lich King was being advertised, so I never saw it. They could be making movies with the attention to detail
+Wowmusicable Don't worry, you'll play a week or two and realise that the game is still just as bad, it happens every expansion and will happen now too, there's a reason wow subscribers dropped from 12 mil to 5.5 mil.
+Jason987262 Of course they are unstoppable because plot armor. They shouldn't have the numbers to even fight the burning legions with their constant wars.
Btw its not going to be about the Horde or alliance, The classes will unite together and teach the leaders of the horde and alliance that together they can do anything, I heard that horde and alliance Are not going to get a long but the classes will.
With how many of these airships that have been destroyed in the recent years, you'd think the gnomes/goblins/dwarves would have developed some kind of parachute mechanic that assists the ship if it is shot out of the sky. Such a waste! .
+SalvLav I've seen a reenactment of Operation Market Garden, those transport airplanes come in pretty low and drop off hundreds of paratroopers, and they were all fine except for one guy who landed in a tree.
Man I gotta say. I've never played WoW or Warcraft, but I went on a video spree all about WoW. Cinematics, lore, and character stories and history. Everything put together from beginning to now, this is the best story writing I've ever seen. stories and lores like lord of the rings don't come close. The characters, the things they did, their history, is just amazing. You never know what will happen. There are 2 factions and most people just assume horde are the evil ones because undead, orcs, and things like that are typically considered evil. That's not necessarily true here. Each faction has it's own races, it's own politics, it's own traditions, and neither is really good nor bad. Each faction has its ups and downs, and I love it how it's made so it's not easy deciding 100% on a side. Yea horde and alliance have endless problems with each other, but they do come together to defeat a greater evil. Both sides have done good, and both sides have done bad. This story doesn't just throw a bunch of pointless action together with something truly evil constantly trying to destroy the world, but it also did a great job on character development. There never is a pointless death in WoW. And 1 action always leads to another event. Blizzard, I applaud you. Would love the entire story starting from Warcraft 1 up until now to be made into a series of movies. I watched Warcraft and loved it. Now GO MAKE MORE!!! I quit playing MMOs because recently any MMO I've played had just very poor lore and story design. And While they had some good moments, it all just came back to oh wolves are a danger to us go kill them. Get to end game, take down some baddy, and still don't really know much about the lore, or the characters. I know like who the king was but that's it... Nothing about the actual characters themselves. I am about to buy WoW and start playing MMOs again. Is it worth starting the game now?
I know I'm kinda late, since your comment have been a year ago, but if you're that interested in the lore you should definetely go into World of Warcraft Chronicles. Even with tons of books about specific events of Warcraft lore, Blizzard decided to summarize the chronology in these 3 books, making it easier to understand, doesn't matter if you're a 10y+ player or a newbie. Once you understand not only the isolated events but the relation between them, it would be great for you to read the regular books!
WotLK cinematic starts - "My son..."
Legion cinematic starts - "My son..."
Legion good expansion confirmed
agreed.
+Diamond Crystal u don't get it xD
XD Yep
uh
Must...Not...Board the hypeTrain
Ahhhh im on for the ride now!!
As a Horde player, Varian is pretty badass
+m3xicanvoodoo And most of the Horde would agree with you, considering they call him "Lo'Gosh"
+m3xicanvoodoo yes ghost wolf he earnt there respect when he was held captive has a gladiator strenght and honor!
+m3xicanvoodoo He would make a great warchief. Too bad they turned Thrall into a pussified, home grown family man.
+Kevin Webster Thrall was a good character. Just the Green Jesus thing was just too much.
I very much agree. I am Horde but love Varian Wrynn. His lore is pretty amazing.
I can't get over how Sylvanas and Varian look in this. To me, she really looks like the leader of the undead and he looks like a man who has seen and done everything. They look right. I can't think of another way to put it.
+April Turnbull She is the leader of the undead and as Forsaken... my queen. Hopefully she will get the major role she deserves in this expansion. FOR THE BANSHEE QUEEN!
I have been watching Nobbel, who makes WOW lore videos, and he has interesting ideas of her role. I think it will be big, but hopefully no death.

Why the camera man always die in blizz cinematics?
R.I.P. Camera Man
lol
W
clever
Best comment ever xD
the best part is when he say "You must be willing to fight" and then stands up in like 2 feet of water.
LOL yup
I laughed so hard when I rewatched that part, it makes no sense.
Arusiek90 Actually you do, when he's down in the water you can see the shoulder plates has fallen off from the impact of hitting the water.
There was a DK nearby with path of frost
Standing in two feet of water makes no sense, but the undead Banshee Queen leading her corpse army does. Got it.
clearly we're gonna have a quest about finding varian's spaulders, cape and compass xD
+Toprak Egemen Just what i was thinking xD
+Toprak Egemen and probably the compass will be a toy :D
+Toprak Egemen And find lady Sylvanas...

Too many
Just want to say this real fast. But the whole WoW movie should have been cgi like this humans and all. The humans make the CG look weird imo. And something about this CG feels slightly better, probably because it's a smaller undertaking but yeah.
+Khamis1203 Completely agree. You're not the only one who thinks this way!

+Khamis1203 That would be ridiculously expensive, and probably take 20 years before they're done..

It's good Varian is learning to trust again....don't know if he should start with Sylvanas....
+christina1986ify But that's why it had to be her. That's the ultimate test of his trust in the Horde.
+Resention but...the Horde doesn't even trust her! lol
+christina1986ify that's the whole point. let's be honest, no matter how much I love Sylvanas, if that was lore'thremar I would have bought legion by now.
+christina1986ify Christina, of course Sylvanas has her self interests in mind when going at it against the legion but according to her updated lore her people and valkyrie are at stake. She only has a small few left and without them she cant populate the forsaken or reincarnate herself. Of course she isn't the same women she was before she became the Banshee queen but with her army of the forsaken and her beloved home of the undercity in jeopardy she's willing to do what it takes to keep it all safe. However Sylvanas is apart of the horde and it may be hard to trust her but Sylvanas hasn't personally done anything towards Varian that would cause him to be hesitant.

+christina1986ify Sorry to say, but Varian is dead now, and they say that Sylvanas killed him lol
Varian Wrynn: Attacks 1000.000 level 110 NPCs.
Vol`Jin: Needs 10 minutes to kill a level 5 sea witch.
+Doofbert Hansen BAHAHAHA
+Doofbert Hansen But the Sea Witch was Elite ! :D
+Doofbert Hansen The Sea Witch was actually Boss Level. So she could have been lvl 100000, too :O
+Doofbert Hansen ROFL seems legit
+Doofbert Hansen 110? They're just starting out in The Broken Shore, so those enemies are probably level 98-100. ;)

*Activision logo pops up*
LMAO. I never noticed that!

It says, "Blizzard Entertainment Presents"

Not for the Horde, Not for the Alliance, for Azeroth!
FOR AZEROTH!
FOR AZEROTH !!!

For jenkins!
+Tak Wolf FOR LEGION!!!
Sylvanas and Varian fighting an infernal together on an airship that is falling out of the sky... that was truly epic! :D
It was. Too bad the coward left him to die once they got to the shore.
Just wait, there love will be cannon in the end.
RIP camera man
+Louis Devore Its always the camera man..
+Thunderz Fury - He was probably wearing a red shirt.
+Louis Devore Yeah, here I am ranting about how the design efforts to create more immersion actually ruin immersion, and then they even go a step further in breaking the fourth wall, as if to say: "Yes, you were right about those water droplets. There actually IS a guy holding a camera."
+Louis Devore where do u see a camera man?
D Brown
I think he meant 3:38. It's not a real immersion-breaker like for example splash on the camera, but that underlines his remark further. Although any kind of shaky camera would suffice for that.
Otherwise one could assume that the weapon swing was meant to be aimed at a person standing right at the viewpoint at the time.
Here after today's TWW story where Anduin mentions Varian's letter.
ditto
The best moment in this cinematic was when the tomb of Sargeras was shown.
This is the first time a cinematic shows the magnitude of a demon invasion. Not even the war of the ancients was that huge.
And that beacon of fel-energy it's emitting.
So good.
at what time was it shown?
mohamad al safran 01:38
Berke Nihat Akay No. I believe blizzard stated, that this is the biggest legion invasion in the history of Azeroth.
Berke Nihat Akay Probably not. I seriously believe it is the greatest invasion. I mean, did you take a look at Azeroth? Demon outposts everywhere!
I have to agree. I love how it shows the true scope and magnitude of what we're facing, right from the start.
his breath bar was almost finishing... then he decided to surface out...
I guess game logic was applied here;
You can Charge to an enemy at the surface from underwater.
+TheYodadrunk he was changing spec m9
+TheYodadrunk Should have had a potion.
I wanted sylvannas to go underwater to announce the glorious return of the breathing passive... guess i will have to wait another xpac for that.
+TheYodadrunk He didn't have seal form.
So far every cinematic which starts with "My son" is great
+Sashko Kovernater I feel Varian is going to die, bc they keep making parallels with him and Terenas.
+The Eye that's a good point. They were foreshadowing his death pretty hard in that cinematic but I didn't put together the connection between him and the Lordaron King.
+The Eye This cinematic pretty much confirmed he's going to either die or get removed from the fight somehow. The heartfelt letter to Anduin is pretty much screaming "HE IS GOING TO DIE!!!"
Well I wonder what will Anduin do when his father dies ( maybe)
King Anduin I think it is a bit funny
+Sashko Kovernater please no
"Meh, I'll save this Human King, and in under 2 years time I'll burn down the worldtree."

+xNepsteR I already nutted my friend.
+Baldoxxx4000 Except that's not a Blizzard cinematic, that's Legendary CGI
Trailer be like : VARIAN AND SYLVANAS WILL FIGHT TOGHETER 4 AZEROTH
Expansion be like : Varian dies in 3 seconds
exactly
and the fact that in cinematics they don't obey the milions of HPs that they have...and the armors points
I wouldn't say the Horde exactly chickened out. Sylvanas (who already has a terrible reputation and with good reason) realized that the Horde were getting surrounded from all sides. Vol'jin going down in battle would have a significant effect on morale, and with the Legion summoning more and more and MORE demons, she realized they had two options: try to flee to the Alliance's side of the island and get torn to shreds by Legion spellcasters, long range fighters and flying demons while doing so, or be massacred and be forced to watch as the Alliance suffers the same fate as them.
Of course, this led to the fallout between the factions and accusations flying both ways (not necessarily without past merit), but in this case, Sylvanas had the foresight to realize that running away and living to fight another day was the right call.
Commander Shepard To be fair Voljin is a shaman, so he probably has less health than the King.

Poor dude, the media must be very desperate to take such epic scenes.
Back when Sylvanus was actually a character and not Azeroth's living manifestation of plot.
well its what they used Garrosh for
@@truthguard9286 But garrosh was actually interesting
You can literally say the same thing about Garrosh and yet you wouldn’t be complaining about it now, would you?
That that ship sailed back in Cataclysm.
@@truthguard9286 how garrosh is the same ?

Varian Wrynn is such an amazing character. In the WoW Universe, a lot of the "main" and fan favourite characters date back to the RTS Warcraft games (Arthas, Illidan, Malfurion, Tyrande, Jaina, Sylvanas, Thrall, etc., etc.)
I think, hands down, regardless if he's your favourite Warcraft hero overall or not, it;'s undeniable that Varian is probably the coolest character to debut within the MMO itself. Whatever happens in Legion, he'll always be my High King!
Pretty sure they backed off the 'High King' bs
He is literally the only good Alliance character with interesting development.
+Jordan Calder My hero is Lor'themar Theron ! The only competent leader of the Horde races (Sylvanass qualifies, but she is a bit batshit crazy).
Michael Tenner Vojin is pretty competent so does Thrall (although leaving the Horde to Garrosh hand was one of the worst decision Thrall could make)
***** We have Arthas who is another Anakin Skywalker from the RTS and his story was even more cheesy than Varian.
I miss legion :(
What an awesome expansion it was.

Me too
No it wasnt 🤣
@@bydlaq Bro it was amazing. The worst part was the broken shore and even then it wasn't that bad. Quit hatin'.

Not his shoulders! Those are his plot armor!
The shoulders! The most vulnerable part of a main character- they must be protected!
So thats why he got killed
I think it's meant to represent him surpassing his pride and falling as a wiser king than he started as.

Who is here for rewatching a scene in which Sylvanas actually did something heroic?
What'd she do? Shoot some demons? Not very heroic. Sounds like her job. She hasn't done something heroic since she power slid into Frostmourne...which wasn't very heroic so nevermind.

sylvanas is probably just staying near varian to wait and see if he die so she can rez him as her undead slave
Funny thing is I wouldn't even put it past her.
Too bad there's nothing left of his body
+Adam Bock they'll just get that one guy from under city to make a guard out of him
Pretty good way
The foresaken aren't Sylvannas's slaves, they are united under her leadership but they are not bound to her as Apothacary Putris shows. Even if they are raised by sylvannas' Val'kyr they are autonomous as shown by Lillian Voss
Rest in peace King Varian Wrynn, my king. You were the greatest king and warrior, and will continue being in our hearts. You still live in our hearts, the true warriors of the alliance.
SKY JAWS yes .. It's confirmed .. Even in the comics .. Anduin is the king now
So horde and alliance have lost their main leaders now...
Horde need Thrall back, like wtf Blizz why do they just not want him as Warchief anymore?
He can't be Warchief anymore, he's the aspect of the earth.
Lok'tar. As a Horde player, I deeply respect this. For the Horde! FOR AZEROTH!!!
I really like the part when Sylvanas and Varian noding to each other. They understood that conflict between this two great factions can't defeat certain enemies. Now they have to co-work with each other in the lore. But in-game they will always fight.
I mean They will fight again.
meanwhile we are still fighting over AB
+wkbassett gotta have that mine, dude
I also liked that the trailer included Varian shouting "For Azeroth".
We're so used to "For the Horde" and "For the Alliance" that I felt it was a great symbol of union.
True true. It was a very nice touch. Made me feel like the Horde and the Alliance aren't as bad as they seem. (That made more sense in my mind.)
I want one expansion where the cameraman doesn't die please. Blizz make that happen.
The Mighty Apple Mists of pandaria cameraman didn't die.
Em Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Mists of Pandaria and warlords of Draenor?
We all know the real heroes!
+Akbar Bagus Wrath one likely died.
+Akbar Bagus Arthas is about to behead him, he ended the footage right as the blade was in a proper angle to get a good beheading
I totally didn't expect Sylvanas to take such an active part in this upcoming war. For the Dark Lady!!!
+Emile Vinesh she has no time for games, for Sylvanas !
FOR THE BANSHEE QUEEN !!!!

Dragonflight looks really good so far.
bro's never heard of Dragonflight
I love how at the end he says "for azeroth" instead of "for the alliance", he now understand the horde isn't the true enemy anymore.
+Mak except for Genn Greymane...he's got some beef with The Banshee Queen after the events of Gilneas in Cataclysm
+Mak *puts on tin-foil hat* its a propaganda conspiracy! While Azeroth is the name of the planet, it is also the official name of the kingdom that Stormwind is the capital of, the Kingdom of Azeroth. So by King Varian Wrynn, the king of Stormwind, starting the trend of yelling "For Azeroth!" He is actually getting everyone, both horde and alliance, to cheer in the support of his kingdom. *takes off tin-foil hat* Or none of that is true and Blizzard is trying to retcon the idea of naming the kingdom Azeroth by ignoring it.
Horde dogs must all die
+Edward Lavaden ok worgen
It's because he probably thinks he is gonna die... Oh wait.

This & Wrath speak so much while saying so little.
Legion was WoW peak.
@@szaka9395 Dragonflight is peak WoW, before that Legion, before that Cata, before that WotLK and before that TBC.
Watched the new one. Dissapointed. Went back to watch old trailers.
Honestly even if Legion was good this cinematic is probably one of the weakest for me
Legion was one my favourite expansion as a person who’s been playing since TBC and if anyone says anything else...you’re more than entitled to your own opinion and it’s just a game at the end of the day and we need more love in the community as of late
I think many people agree me inclusively
We all agree 👍
@@batmanwayne2433 you should’ve seen the community during legion. It was another of everyone’s “worse expacs ever”
@@god6ix849man… if only they knew…
When he sacrificed himself at the Broken Shore, all i could think of was the scene at Siege of Orgrimmar between him and his son.
"Father what are you doing?!"
"What a king must do"
Exactly Varian was awesome, he was honorable and understood what it was to be king
There's more to WoW than hide and seek in capitals?!
Plus, in the anduin cinematic that's what Varian says (I think it's all in Anduin's head, that's why he hears something he's heard before)
"My Son, what are you doing?!"
"Succeeding you."
When was that?
Man, their animation is so well-done. They should make a mo- Oh... right.
WOOD BUTCHER Dude, chill.
better than the movie
PECK OFF

Having watched the movie, I can agree that their cinematics have more impact, even if they're just minutes long.

Man, I'm just wondering if Sylvanas would ressurect him then.
+KomaEU Can confirm that Warriors don't get Varian's weapons! That means he'll live!
+Nuka Cola There are more of them in the Broken Isles. Not all of them died in Silverpine Forest, some were at battle of Andorthal which is later than the Silverpine storyline.

I still get chills down my spine no matter how many times I watch this trailer. It's that darn good!
Blizzard, for a second there you almost had me give feels for Varian.
+AnimatedASMR It looks like he's actually gonna have character now instead of being a genocidal maniac. Well played blizz.
+We know Genocidal maniac? I think you might have him confused with Garrosh. Varian has been making character growth ever since he came back. He is by far the best racial leader at this moment and quite possibly the one that is the most balanced. If I had to vote, Varian would have my vote, with Magni being a close second (there is a very solid chance and some compelling evidence he is coming back).
Kadir Seker Well he isn't Garrosh bad but he did try to kill Thrall back in wrath when Jaina was explaining the whole Yogg saron thing.
+We know That was several expansions of character development ago. Varian changed his ways a long time ago.
Balmungofsky Okay I'll admit giving Garrosh a fair trial in mop was pretty cool.

The entire RTS genre is pretty much dead. SC2 has no competitors left and other games have taken its throne in e-sports. They aren't going to make a game so big if RTS aren't doing well on the market.
Maybe in the far future.

lol
+Paul Staker I have like the biggest fantasy crush on Anduin, and as soon as I read this I couldn't stop laughing xD
Makaleana Plays I can see why. She's very beautiful.
He is like Arthas but less manly version.
It's a shame to see those airships go down. They've been through so much.
Also, why haven't Night elf druids turned Teldrassil into a gigantic capital Treant yet? The world needs this.
Because Night Elves have become total wusses in WoW, unfortunately.
And also it's completely corrupted.
It's so sad to compare Tyrande from W3 with the Tyrande of now, specially after that scenario from MoP
master007v I haven't kept up with the story development past the beginning of Cataclysm. What happens in MoP?
Everyone proclaims the game is dead, but I disagree. WoW, even though it's not as mind blowing as it was previously, has made some turns for the better despite it's turns for the worse. I'm in the Legion Beta, and I love it. I'm having just as much if not more fun than I did back in Wrath of the Lich King when I started playing. I really think that Blizzard hit home with Legion and I hope that they continue to do well and turn the community around in the right direction. After playing the beta I have a lot of renewed faith in the game, and I hope that the community enjoys the expansion as much as I already am just in the beta. I don't think it's dead at all, despite it's subscriber drops. I think Legion will bring back a lot of subscribers. I think Blizzard FINALLY got it.

Varian is the most liked character in alliance because he got respect from the horde
WTF. He got respect from the horde and the alliance. COINCIDENCE? NO! Becauz allaianz plaierz look up to what hord plaiers tink! LOGIC! SENSE!
Actually only the arena likes him....he was a guy who charged at 2 people with 2 armadas and still lost miserably.he was a man who criticised the horde while making all of its corrected mistakes again and again.
There was respect for anduin fairly cause thrall respected him and so did voljin.but they don't respect Varian too much.not after somethings he did .probably after garrosh some did but at the end had he made the wrong choice there thrall wouldn't have held back at all.

+Ocl The Val'kyr are dead and gone after they rezzed Sylvanas in the Silver Pine Questline, but in a future patch Bolvar (Aka current Lick King) could reawaken and bring the Val'kyr back for just that purpose, adding a whole new faction and legion of undead to fight against the Burning Legion, think it's a awesome idea.

Your opinion is not wrong. But the real question is “an illusion, what are you hiding?!”
He's gonna be pissed if he ever knows that Anduin let an orc use his sword.
Nah, the self killing "For Azeroth" phrase was used so all is good, all is good...
@@_Tomon Yeah but Varian ended with him saying for the alliance, so he must have taken back what he said.
Well I think he will be more mad that he fought alongside sylvanis and now she is destroying the world he fought for.
Yeah will I guess if you think that you must have skipped the part where Anduin says Varian respected Varok
@@leptinainccm You must have skipped the part where Varian and the end of Siege of Orgrimmar said: "If the Horde fails to uphold honor again, like Garrosh did, we will end you!" Also Shalamayne is a night elven blade. Giving it to The Butcher of Ashenvale is to defile the blade and Varian's memory. And it's yet another spit in the face of the night elves.

This made me tear up for three reasons; they happen to indicate that this is going to be a great expansion:
First, this speech is incredibly reminiscent of Terenas Menethil's talk to Arthas in WotLK, but is the exact ossosite, as it speeks about what Varian has learned from his son and not what he hopes his son will learn and see him do it twisted as Lich King.
Second, with this we finally see a Sylvanas that behaves with morals that she SHOULD have. Someone that has suffered so much should know better than to turn into the instrument of their own suffering and forcing onto others what she herself swore eternal vengeance for. This one might actually meet her two sisters (still hoping for the return of Turalyon and Alleria) and be the most reasonable out of all three; she might even be the one that brings Dalaran back to neutral status by slapping some sense into Vereesa (and Jaina too, if she's at it).
And third, this king is the first time since Anduin Lothar that I could respect the leader of the alliance. Bolvar was a good dude and all, but he didn't do much(before becoming the sacrifical LK, as I said, good dude^^); and all others that temporarily filled the role in some way were also just selfish for the most part. Varian really grew on me in Pandaria, which makes me regret not having played it live so much... but even there he was still growing to be a true leader of the Alliance.
Gonna have to agree, and my problem with Anduin would be that he doesn't seem to have a backbone and is easily manipulated by those around him.
do you regret your post?
"Someone that has suffered so much should know better than to turn into the instrument of their own suffering and forcing onto others what she herself swore eternal vengeance for." if this didnt age like milk
Comments like these just make me want to rewrite the entirety of BFA
This didn't age so well lol
Who is here after watching Battle For Azeroth Cinematic

Whenever I watched a blizzard cinematic, I'll keep watching every other cinematics from them. Be it Overwatch, WoW or Starcraft. Can't go wrong with Blizzard's cinematics
More Epic than than the movie trailer!
+Marcus Aurelius Indeed
+Marcus Aurelius My first thoughts as well.
Well the movie is focused on orcs moving to Azeroth and the Alliance not knowing much of them, so I feel you ☺
+Marcus Aurelius tbh the movie looks fine, I just feel like the trailer wasn't so great.
Well yeah, one is half live action and half CGI while this is pure CGI so yeah.
I assume we saw Varian and Sylvanas not only due to the Alliance and Horde working together against the Legion are seen working together in this trailer but both are from the Eastern Kingdoms.The Broken Isles are just North West from the Eastern Kingdoms. They I would imagine be attacking from a South, South Easterly direction. I imagine Vol'Jin and Tyrande or other faction leaders from Kalimdor will be in close proximity to one another attacking from a West, South Westerly direction.
+Kyle Murray There are rumors that Stormwind and Undercity are destroyed by the legion which is why it's these two going there first. Again, just rumors, nothing confirmed, but does seem likely. Both of em, especially Stormwind, could use some updating at some point anyway, might aswell blow em up.
NoName1462 I bet the Legion destroyed Stormwind the minute the park district had been rebuild.
+Kyle Murray Probably that will happen, Sylvanas, Varian and Muradin attack from the east side while Tyrande, Vol'jin and Baine attack from the west side :DD
+Kyle Murray Scumbag Legion xD
+NoName1462 Stormwind is like a phoenix it will rise again vs all!
Sylvanas was modeled on the live action performance of Anna Maltese; an amazingly talented archer and actor.
Ps. I'm hittin' that!

One of the best cinematics to one of the best WoW expansions since WOTLK.
Yup, there goes gnomish engineering for ya, loosing just 1 propeller out of 8 makes the whole thing go down.
+Galejro ...Bombers in 1918 had 4 engines (Zeppelin Staaken R.VI for example, the biggest wooden plane produced). Destroying one of them was 25% loose of drag, and usually, with some smaller damages, it was enough to take it down. And it looks like you didn't looked much around in game (and in cinematic: time 1:08), these skyships have 4 engines too. Loosing one there is even worse there, because it is in corner of ship, making it very important for stability. 1 down = 100% crash. ... and for you, gnommers, horde gunship is made from 2 zeppelins, which are, as everybody knows, really fragile, especially against falling infernals...
+Jaroslav Jůza Yeah as soon as I saw the airships I thought "...They've known about infernals since the Third War and they think it's a great idea to put their king in an airship?!" Partial pardon for Sylvanas being on the Horde one since she's already dead and therefore can't drown and can always be put back together or something.
+Jaroslav Jůza also very flammable if you read the zeppelin guys text or watch the cata cinematic
+Galejro Well, to be fair, I think this is only the second time an Alliance gunship was shot down, with the first one being the one in Pandaren starting area. Horde lost at least three ;p Heck, look what's written on Wowpedia page about gunships:
Except for Orgrim's Hammer, nearly every Horde gunship introduced to date has been shot down or destroyed in some manner. This tradition was broken in the World of Warcraft: Legion trailer, in which the Alliance gunship crashes while the Horde one is able to realign itself.
+Galejro On the other hand, goblins at least have rockets. No propellers, no worries, right?
The real question is... How did Varian get out of Draenor? We all know that you can't leave your garrison!

+Alexandra Meininger agreed, burn them,
+Alexandra Meininger Best comment ever.
well i must admit they can do movies, after i watched the Warcraft Movie in the theatre i somehow want to try this game out again. My last time playing WoW was in 2006 with a friends account :D
up to you but in my opinion its not the same anymore leveling up is to fast you can buy a max level now which is stupid the talent tree sucks half the spells have been removed classes have been dumbed down just dosent have that same feel no more
***** Yeah i heared from my friend he also stopped playing it because of the many changes. And after watching some LPs about WoW now i remembered why i didn't like playing the Game in the first place. its Graphics just looks to awfull to me.
And i much prefer MMOS like FF14 more, thats why i just downloaded that game again xD
Krayzie Stryker lol I feel ya but the graphics is what makes wow what it is the cartoony goofy yet badass looking models but yeah the games not that good anymore I cant even stand doing pvp anymore theyve dumbed it down so much
***** Well if they ever made a WoW 2 i would like them to make the graphics like in their Trailers. Because this are the Graphics what i want. I don't like the simple cartoony look of it and ah yeah i need to mention i heared they want to bring a real classical WoW Server again maybe you at least can play that again :D
they're not changing the graphic theme
they said in a recent interview
The best expansion since wotlk. Long live Legion!
where did his shoulderpads go man they give you more armor and damage
He traded his shoulderpads for another sword :).
In all seriousness its like he is going back to Lo'gosh when he was a pit fighter/gladiator. :).
lol yeah
You can disable shoulderpads in legion
Was that some kind of joke or is it true xD?
You can hide shoulderpads in Legion like the helm and cloak, that's what he's doing.
FOR AZEROTH!!!
+Dalton Gibson Srsly, why did Sylvanas just stand on the rock and fire arrows? She can do more than that...
Because she's effing Sylvanas Windrunner and the bow is her iconic weapon. The most famous huntress in WoW lore. Her using anything else in a cinematic would be silly.
Oldangr That hadn't occurred to me! I apologize. Being a druid myself the nature thing makes sense. People usually just attribute Sylvanas to a hunter, what class would she fit best in?
+Oldangr They're apparently revamping marksmanship to be more like Sylvanas, come Legion: No pet at all, elven bow as their weapon, one talent lets them periodically call in undead minions to attack. Seems pretty Sylvanas.
+Alexandra Meininger '' The most famous huntress in WoW lore. '' Yeah no, that would be Alleria. Or Tyrande.
I wonder why Sylvanas was there, maybe she just happened to be close by as all the other leaders were busy? Out of all the Horde leaders shes the least likely to help out Varian, but shes also the most popular horde leader so it makes sense to put her in the trailer for some fan service.
+hirumaredx Maybe she was figured the best to join the Alliance invasion since her army consists of undead humans?
+hirumaredx Yeah I am surprised Thrall wasn't there...wonder why
+Firelord Gixmo thralls probably in the middle of that storm and the cause of it, killing millions of demons by himself
+hirumaredx True but then she may be having a change of heart or a change of plan, saying that though your right out of all of them there could of been Lor'themar or Baine who would of been more willing to jump to Varian's side rather than Sylvanas.
hirumaredx What about Khadgar (I think Medihv but whatever) surely he isn't sitting idle...I mean great cinematic and hyped but I need to know this. I don't wanna go another year without knowing the important stuffs
my king. best theme ever since classic menu music.
The last alliance king that said in the beginning of a trailer "My son.." didn't have a very good end ! Did he ?
+Spuky Pally RIP Terenas Menethil.
+Spuky Pally too soon
+Spuky Pally Well. The good news is I don't think Anduin is about to go find a two-handed evil sword that steals the souls of those he runs through. Priests can't equip those. :)
+Zela Morre He'll be a Paladin soon enough! Thanks to Velen's phophecy. Velen didn't even give us a spoiler warning...
got to hand it to blizzard, their cinematics lately are pretty impressive
Lately? Check out their Warcraft 3/The Frozen Throne cinematics
iNerTx
Well, I only started playing WoW around the time Lich King was being advertised, so I never saw it. They could be making movies with the attention to detail
Since the begining, Blizzard always made the best cinematics.
theyve allrdy made a movie....
abbe_hates_kevkev
Yeah I know. I meant an animated movie
I just want some gnomes in a cinematic, is that so much to ask for Blizz?
+Jacob Ketcham They've been trying to get gnomes into cinematics for years, but they're just too tiny to reach the line of sight of the camera :3
+Emma XD that comment made my day !
+derdumdum I couldn't resist :P
We need to get the gnomes a crate or something to stand on. Maybe a bucket.
Jacob Ketcham ''Shall I describe it to you? Or shall I get you a box?''
Play of the game......... King Varian Wrynn
Warcref
jesus i just cant stop loving wow....this game is so old but so lovely
OMG, I got shivers!!! HYPE!!! =D
+Wowmusicable
+Wowmusicable Don't worry, you'll play a week or two and realise that the game is still just as bad, it happens every expansion and will happen now too, there's a reason wow subscribers dropped from 12 mil to 5.5 mil.
+Henka44 blah blah blah...
+Wowmusicable Dude, you aint the only one :D
+Henka44 yup that's true, players always write stuff like hype, great, epic then when the time comes after 1-2 month, meh i'm bored
Together, the Alliance and the Horde are unstoppable.
+Jason987262 Well, Sargeras hasn't shown up yet. I think he will destroy us all, until we find a way to get Broxigar back.
+Jason987262 the whole point of the expansion is that the horde and alliance both got wrecked by the legion. they are clearly not unstoppable
+Jason987262 Of course they are unstoppable because plot armor. They shouldn't have the numbers to even fight the burning legions with their constant wars.
Btw its not going to be about the Horde or alliance, The classes will unite together and teach the leaders of the horde and alliance that together they can do anything, I heard that horde and alliance Are not going to get a long but the classes will.
+Jason987262 Except for the broken front in northrend where the orcs decided to stab the humans in the back and it all fell apart. Stupid horde.
Brings tears to my eyes. One of the greatest expansions ever.
Still amazing content, it had both its ups and downs @elTigre877
@elTigre877 in terms of lore though Legion wipes up MOP
Anyone else notice the similarities to the Lich King cinematic opening with "My Son..."
yeah!
+Greg Nelson Humans... always saying "My son..."
I recall High Overlord Saurfang saying "my son" a few times when battling his son in Wrath
Its cause Saurfang is a human disguised
+Greg Nelson Mehmet
my son
yuo are men now
With how many of these airships that have been destroyed in the recent years, you'd think the gnomes/goblins/dwarves would have developed some kind of parachute mechanic that assists the ship if it is shot out of the sky. Such a waste! .
They are flying pretty low, I don't think a parachute would help
+SalvLav I've seen a reenactment of Operation Market Garden, those transport airplanes come in pretty low and drop off hundreds of paratroopers, and they were all fine except for one guy who landed in a tree.
+Daniel Obubo That one guy who lands in a tree.
Didn't the sky fire gunship near icc have life boats with gliders on it ?
Crash everytime.
This is beyond amazing. Please don't make us wait 10 months to find out whether he is alive or not. :D
+Connor Naive After a cinematic like that, and an appearance overhaul, I'm pretty sure he's gonna be alive for some time.
+Doronsmovies he is alive... but not for long...
Man I gotta say. I've never played WoW or Warcraft, but I went on a video spree all about WoW. Cinematics, lore, and character stories and history. Everything put together from beginning to now, this is the best story writing I've ever seen. stories and lores like lord of the rings don't come close. The characters, the things they did, their history, is just amazing. You never know what will happen. There are 2 factions and most people just assume horde are the evil ones because undead, orcs, and things like that are typically considered evil. That's not necessarily true here. Each faction has it's own races, it's own politics, it's own traditions, and neither is really good nor bad. Each faction has its ups and downs, and I love it how it's made so it's not easy deciding 100% on a side. Yea horde and alliance have endless problems with each other, but they do come together to defeat a greater evil. Both sides have done good, and both sides have done bad. This story doesn't just throw a bunch of pointless action together with something truly evil constantly trying to destroy the world, but it also did a great job on character development. There never is a pointless death in WoW. And 1 action always leads to another event. Blizzard, I applaud you. Would love the entire story starting from Warcraft 1 up until now to be made into a series of movies. I watched Warcraft and loved it. Now GO MAKE MORE!!! I quit playing MMOs because recently any MMO I've played had just very poor lore and story design. And While they had some good moments, it all just came back to oh wolves are a danger to us go kill them. Get to end game, take down some baddy, and still don't really know much about the lore, or the characters. I know like who the king was but that's it... Nothing about the actual characters themselves. I am about to buy WoW and start playing MMOs again. Is it worth starting the game now?
FoolishGamer absolutely. Legion is by far one of the best expansions to date. Do yourself a favor and get this game.
Not only that, but you should also take a look at the books.
sry, i agree that it's a 10/10 story, but clearly you haven't read lord of the rings.
FoolishGamer 3
I know I'm kinda late, since your comment have been a year ago, but if you're that interested in the lore you should definetely go into World of Warcraft Chronicles. Even with tons of books about specific events of Warcraft lore, Blizzard decided to summarize the chronology in these 3 books, making it easier to understand, doesn't matter if you're a 10y+ player or a newbie. Once you understand not only the isolated events but the relation between them, it would be great for you to read the regular books!
