Somehow this is one of the most touching cinematics as of late. The night elves and especially Tyrande have been to so much... they gave up their immortality to save the world, their archdruid went mad (Fandral) and then the war of thorns destroyed virtually their culture and home, while the horde went on a genocide against them. Darnassus always seemed save and i remember playing in the early days and wondering about Teldrassil and how beautiful it was. And then it was burned, the night elves driven out, Tyrande consumed by hate and vegeance, Malfurion exchanged places with Ysera in the shadowlands and now they get a respite. It was a nice touch to remember Darnassus and the temple and how deeply involved Elune is in night elven culture. Really a great cinematic.
Even though you seem to have some deeply rooted hate for the Horde I want to correct you on one thing: It wasn't the Horde who burnt down Teldrassil - it was Sylvanas.
Beautifully done. Probably one of the most touching moments in WoW. Night Elves since WC3 have given up a lot in defense of Azeroth. Lets hope at the end of the World Soul Saga Illidan can find peace with his kin intact
like on one hand I'm very glad the Night Elves got a W for once, but on the other, I hope they can go back to being badass now like they used to be. I know being Immortal probably was a large reason why they were so confident in War 3, but to me it feels like the Night Elves lost a decent amount of their Warrior Spirit they had in 3 over the years.
@@valeclaw1697 it's almost as if the world moved on and they had to adapt to the new world and power structure which is ofc not protecting just kalimdor. As for the warrior spirit, meh, they re more fleshed out now. They're still badass and kinda more powerful now than in wc3.
This is not a W. This destroyed a lot of Nelf & Kaldorei lore and ignored majority of what the Night Elf community has been asking them not to do. Blizzard is slowly killing our identity and it's severely frustrating.
@@MagnaGresh That's fine if that's the narrative direction? But that is not what's expressed in-game, nor in interviews. And it's not what the Community wanted, and they specifically asked not to do this. So it's a bit of a stab in the back, when a lot of our concerns are unheard and refused - only to follow up with something none of us asked for, or wanted.
@@ShadowKallig So they should return back to being isolated, racist assholes? Cause last time I checked, they didn't like anyone besides themselves in WC3 and really just cooperated out of circumstance.
It's a nice cutscene, would have been better had Sylvanas burst out of a portal to tell Tyrande she was done in the maw right in the middle of this ceremony, only to back away slowly, saying "Awkward".
@malushapolotskaya7322 I hope you never write... Sylvanas was just fine in legion with some questionable actions but she as a character was assassinated by Danuser and Alex.
We went from having a world tree born of corruption not being blessed by the aspects to a tree that itself blessed the aspects thru Azeroth, a new beginning to an awesome race
What are you talking about? Teldrassil was not born of corruption, Fandral and his druids wanted to re gain immortality they lost. That is neither corrupt nor wrong. So no, Teldrassil was not born of corruption. It became corrupted without blessings of aspects. But even in this corruption Teldrassil fough. Alextrazsa blessed it first time because of that, then you need to read Stormrage to get further. Teldrassil FOUGHT WITH Malfurion and Nordrassil against Xavius and nightmare. Corruption was clansed and Alextrazsa and Ysera blessed it again at Malfurion's and Tyrande's wedding. I don't get where people get the idea that Teldrassil was corrupt world tree. Corruption was spreading but the tree fought against it.
Load Dreadqueake Mortars, Seal final runes upon Fireborn, Let Mighty K'daai Destroyers reap a bloody toll for the Father of Darkness. Go forth Infernal Ironsworn and know that today Mighty Hashut simles upon us
As a night elf main, this was pretty cool, would still prefer the tree back on Kalimdor somewhere, not necessarily where Teldrasil was but i guess since Kalimdor already they put this one here, which fine i guess, but its not like there weren't two trees on Kalimdor before. I would personally put it somewhere in Feralas but that's just me
@@BishtrainerTai16 I hope so - make more sense for the Darkfallen Night Elves. I know Sira is still in the Stockades, but she wasn't on good terms with Tyrande, the last time we heard from her.
Unless this becomes the new night elf starting zone with a series of quests that branch you to lvl 10-12 like the old ones, before the quests take you out of the area. I could care less...
if this place is getting dedicated to Elune, then I expect a huge amount of protection, with a giant slab of commitment from that cosmically absentee parent that stands 200 hundred feet tall and made to last forever. And the only thing written on that slab in giant glowing letters above her signature are simply the words "My Bad, Fam"
Idk if Night Elves will ever be as badass as they once were. Most races kind of just suck now-a-days. Blizzard has spent the last few years trying to make every culture/race reflect modern day human (western) "acceptable values and morality" so they're all starting to just be dull as hell. The once badass matriarchal society of amazon warrior women are now "men are 100% equals now, join up to be a priestess today, we need to no longer hold old customs/traditions" and it feels that way for many races. Remember when the Horde genocided our people like 4 years ago? Forgive and forget peeps! (That's coming from someone who's been a Horde player for a long time) If you make every race feel like reskinned modern human society you start to lose the magic of being an elf, an orc, a troll, etc. What made these races awesome to play was the cultural differences and now it just feels like that's going away. Just dull if you ask me. T_T
Is that delaryn in the back? I wonder if amirdrassil guard will consist of both sentinel and dark ranger now, considering it is a world tree of life and death.
@@cameronmcewen9666 Well at least some dark ranger should be in the new NE home base because last I check there is no playable dark ranger NE on the horde and I couldn't even use my dark ranger NE on the shadowlands forsaken quest.
@@imanrosohadi2125 Dark Rangers might be like death knights. They can be welcomed back into their faction, unless they’re still loyal to the Scourge. In the Alliance’s case, Dark Rangers cannot rejoin them if they call themselves Forsaken.
Sigh...so I guess that this means Tyrande and her people basically ALL move to Amirdrassil, and leaves Kalimdor forever? Does this NOT mean that the Horde has taken the entire continent there? Besides, Darkshore is lifetless and an "empty victory" according to Exploring Kalimdor, and now Nordrassil and Hyjal too are seemingly forgotten by the kaldorei. This was not a horrible cinematic, yet also very underwhelming given everything they have lost. Besides, is it an Alliance city or mostly neutral, and will the dragonflights intervene if the Horde attacks them again...??
No. On PTR there is a portal room in Bel'Ameth to Hyjal, Darkshore, and Val'sharah, with tons of NPCs called "Darkshore Visitor" or "Hyjal Visitor" etc., and also a Warden NPC talks about how Maiev is still doing work on Darkshore. I agree the tree should be by Kalimdor but the Devs are making it clear the Night Elves still have a strong presence on Kalmidor I think they want to have the new world tree near the Eastern Kingdoms considering Midnight is focused on the Elves, the Sunwell, and Quel'thalas.
Amirdrassil is much more special than Nordrassil or Teldrassil ever was, such power should be heavily defended. I believe Amirdrassil will be much more safe on the Dragon Isles where the Aspects reside than anywhere else on Azeroth.
Girl the isles aren't that safe either we spent all expansion fending off multiple threats on the isles and the tree almost got burned alive here despite them protecting it LOL@@darkfyre1618
The night elves still control very much of Kalimdor. They won the Darkshore warfront and still have all of their holdings in Ashenvale. Astranaar, Silverwind Grove, Forest Song, Stardust Spire and the Blackfathom Camp are still all Alliance and owned by Night Elves. So Ashenvale is still mostly controlled by Nelves. In Darkshore the Horde presence is gone, the Grove of the Ancients e.g. is still active with Onu, the Ancient of Wisdom. Hyjal is also still settled by many Night Elves just like Feralas. In Bel'ameth there can also be seen many visitors from Val'shara, Darkshore, Hyjal and Feralas. This shows us that all of these regions still have a large population of Night Elves. The Horde lost on all fronts in Kalimdor.
Now THIS is the vibe we should be getting for nightelves. Minus the tree being in the isle and not in kalindor but otherwise this is perfect. Why we didnt have this vibe for thr heritage quest i will not know
1:03 Who are those statue men, is there a confirmed answer because they look exactly like djaridin, especially with their markings. Also, I'm sad malfurion isn't here with the night elves to experience this.
actualy important question, why are there non night elves in a place they gave birth too ? while it would be so cool to see night elven figured formed from the vegetation
Wait when do these cutscenes take place? I have complered the six chapters of the story and yet I haven’t seen this one, nor some of the others uploaded
I think just wait and see , blizzard aren't stupid enough to make the night elves loose there lands . I believe the heritage quest proved that by hinted at the NE cleansing felwood.
Its about time they got a W lmao. But i hope Blizzard updates the Ebon Hold location to somewhere like ICC so i dont spawn in legion everytime i use the Death gate :P
@guinness12691 not what I mean. It's not like every single night elf stood there and planned to plant teldrassil. It was a a smaller group that went against the others wishes.
You know, while I'm glad the Night Elves finally got something going their way, I'm a bit iffy about them still worshiping Elune, especially after the reveal that she purposelly didn't intervene and allowed Teldrassil to burn. Like I'd start asking questions if the Goddess I've been worshiping for the past 10000+ years just treated my people like fuel.
Not all gods are omnipresent nor omnipotent. Even in the tales of the old Pagan religions, not many were both. Very few in fact were, and I think people need to understand that. Only Christianity boasts an omnipresent and omniscient God. And I think people need to stop thinking like that's the only story of Gods.
This isn't going their way. This is spitting on 10,000 years of history and culture to displace them to a landmass they have no reason to care about. It's spitting on everyone who loved Warcraft 3 Kaldorei.
While I agree that she allowed that tree to burn but I think she atleast do a minor intervention. I remember somewhere in bfa novel where she actually made all the victims of teldrassil sleep so they had a painless death, I don't think any God have done that throught history of wow.
Elune eased the Elves suffering at the burning of Teldrassil, trusting their spirits to go to Ardenweald and help fight against the enemy there, little expecting they’d instead be forced into the Maw. Also, she cannot enter Ardenweald, using Tyrande as her mouthpiece. Which boils down to: Elune isn’t truly an omniscient goddess, yet she’s apparently immortal. Bets on whether she’s something to do with the original world tree (drum roll) Elun’ahir…
I dunno man, for as nice and wholesome as this was... Does this mean the Night Elves are immortal again? 'Cause that's what I wanna know. I'ts not bad by any means though, I'd just like some clarification, oh, and Malfurion to come back.
they were greanted Immortality by Nozdormu for one purpose - since that entire issue is now a moot point, and he has rethought everything after Fandral and such, that wont happen again.. The aspects themselves received blessings rather than granting, them , and it was Aman'thul's special juju he gave to Nozzy that made it possible. Since Nozzy no lnger has the Titan magic, That alone might make it impossible to repeat.
Blizz really need to put a a soloable story difficulty in raids with the main NPCs of the story as your comrades so casuals don't have to wait weeks to see these. It takes nothing away from the raiders, and the people who just want to pound through the content are happy. It's a lose for literally no one.
Nice new city. I left the game a couple of years ago and I loved both night elves and horde races in general. I can only remember how its interesting how blizzard loves to get the faction that have races that were not inspired by white people cultures (like the alliance races) and make them savages barbarians and forces half of the playerbase to commit genocide after loosing leaders. I left the game at the time because I didnt think it was healthy for me seeing horde leaders being destroyed for nothing, expansion after expansion, and entering the forums to see actual people calling us genocidal barbarians, it was not fun being some excuse for alliance and their races feel free to be the goodies in a heros journey trope and in a fight against "the savages", all that historical/colonization racist excuses bullshit white people loved to tell for the last centuries. That time was when I realized the game not as an immersive world, but as a story build by some NA and EU ppl, nothing more. And I think the devs are still out of touch of their playerbase.
Beautiful cinematic, but Amirdrassil being permanently put on the Dragon Isles almost ruins it all.. Kalimdor is the home of the Night Elves 😞 it’s the opposite side of the world from Ashenvale
Feels cheap to me. New World Tree isn't in Kalimdor, it's on the Dragon Isle.. so isn't distinctly 'Kaldorei'. It isn't a city, it isn't the zone that Teldrassil was.
@@OmegaSoypremeThey weren't. They already retook their lands. The heritage questline was placed in Kalimdor to remind that Night Elves are there and they are doing their duties. Now we are getting a new tree with a new city under it. I am happy about it.
Blizzard saying a people displaced from their home content now can only start healing because they've just abandoned it and 15,000 years of history and culture... is so on brand for blizzard tbh.
bigger companies forced bilizard to merged with them, after that blizzard no longer a private company, till this day they are still same not private company and owned by micrasoft empire now
It is hillarious to see Tyrande being that devote to a goddess that sent them all to the maw (even if she did not know, they would be still used as a source of power for ardenweald, the only difference was the place they ended up) XD
@@christianbolze7092 Huh??? Elune literally said in the dialogue - I just finished going through SL last week. "I heard your cries, felt your pain, and in the wake of tragedy, sent forth the cascade of souls to sustain you." Directed to the Winter Queen & Tyrande when asked why she didn't answer their calls to save them, and when the Winter Queen asked why she ignored her own pleas to help the drought. She sacrificed her own people, without telling them, to send to the Winter Queen - and Over half of them ended up in the maw. I don't mind the narrative choice, but she did sacrifice them. Let's not pretend she has a mortal moral compass. Perhaps go through the questline again to double check the context? Edit: Also let's neither pretend the Night Elves even wanted to go to the Winter Queen in the first place - they were expecting their Goddess to save them. She didn't, she sent them to help her sister instead. That *IS* in all intentionally purposes - a Sacrifice.
"We have suffered so much" - Tyrande being dumb once again. It's hard to name a race that hasn't suffered on Azeroth... Worgen have suffered significantly more, with the curse + losing Gilneas. Humans have lost their capital city, twice. One to the Scourge and another to the Orcs. Forsaken is kinda self explanatory. Draenei legit lost their entire planet, and was chased for thousand of years by the burning legion. Gnomes lost their entire home as well, plus they're short and I bet that kinda sucks. Blood Elves were almost wiped out by the Scourge. Tauren were near extinction from the Centaur, when the Orcs found them. Orcs were manipulated and forced into servitude of the Burning Legion, causing them to lose their home planet. I could go on and on... It just sounds so dumb when characters are like "Oh it's so sad for me", when almost everyone around them have suffered just as much and in some cases even more..
Honestly... Blizzard promised there would be a final big epic win for the Night Elves that would justify the long journey of suffering and loss they have endured. If they think "Hey, you got back a world tree home for your survivors" is it, I'm very disappointed. Heck, they have a world tree already, Nordrassil. I hope this isn't the end, and patch 10.2.5 will have some final surprise, like "And the souls of those who were within the seed are brought to back to life as playable dryads" or something.
Tbf to the mindset of the time, they had *just* expelled a demonic army that was spilling forth from the Well of Eternity which then essentially nuked Kalimdor to pieces. And Illidan goes and just makes a new one without telling anyone. It's a bit different.
They got driven out of kalimdor and the souls of the dead elves became a new power source for the dragons to keep in their backyard. This is not a win!
@valeclaw1697 War has consequences, you should get over it. People wanna say the game has no bite/consequences, and when it does the other half complain there's too many... But only when it affects the thing they like! Otherwise it's funny, or something. Writing isn't great rn, but I do feel really bad for them dealing with these weirdos.
Eh, the Night Elves did it to the trolls first millenia ago then essentially nuked the continent to pieces. At some point everyone has taken land from someone else.
Exactly, while the logical answer to this dumb writing is they're just lazy to revamp to old zone on kalimdor, but I just can't wrap my mind how this is literally giving the same vibes of the treatment of native people, especially in America, move them out to faraway land, that's isolated from the rest of the world, sound familliar huh? 🤢
@@GOODCHRISTIANBOTTOM tbf it's not like there aren't massive refugee crisises happening right now in the world in several regions. There's not a monopoly on that type of suffering by Native American tribes. You can try to be positive and look at it as a success story for a migrant people displaced by war. It's not the worst message, it's just delivered in Blizzard's typical cartoonish way that saps maturity from the messaging.
War is bad, who knew? Sometimes you don't get happy. Half the fanbase saying blizzard are too soft and the story had no bite/consequences, other half saying the Night elves should revive a burned tree and sing hymns while holding hands. I'm not gonna say the writing is amazing, but I can see why they're having trouble pleasing people.

1:03 Who are those statue men, is there a confirmed answer because they look exactly like djaridin, especially with their markings. Also, I'm sad malfurion isn't here with the night elves to experience this.
The Jailer
actualy important question, why are there non night elves in a place they gave birth too ? while it would be so cool to see night elven figured formed from the vegetation
Ancients but not fully built yet. Like ancients of war without the leaves and branches and the whisp spirit.
those statues are a reference to the alpha version of the emerald dream in vanilla wow. but I like the first reply of them being The Jailer.
@@kai-lele3328 my first thought when seeing them was they looked like Zovaal. Is it drawn in old concept arts?

This is ok 👌🏻
Touching. What do you mean they’ve decided to live on an island and not their ancestral homelands in Kalimdor? A successful genocide by the Horde!
I think just wait and see , blizzard aren't stupid enough to make the night elves loose there lands . I believe the heritage quest proved that by hinted at the NE cleansing felwood.
We know the night elves will have Amirdrassil planted on Kalimdor.

Do Malfurion came back ?
yes :)
Yall remember when the night elves planted Teldrassil in a vain attempt to get their immortality back?
And i hope they do. I think that'd be a great way to get wrap their story up lowkey

This is actually such a nice cinematic! I hope the kaldorei won't suffer too much anymore

so if she went back to ardenweld where tf is malfurion
Silvanaa pls one arrow
Get over it.
Who?
You know, while I'm glad the Night Elves finally got something going their way, I'm a bit iffy about them still worshiping Elune, especially after the reveal that she purposelly didn't intervene and allowed Teldrassil to burn. Like I'd start asking questions if the Goddess I've been worshiping for the past 10000+ years just treated my people like fuel.
Not all gods are omnipresent nor omnipotent. Even in the tales of the old Pagan religions, not many were both. Very few in fact were, and I think people need to understand that. Only Christianity boasts an omnipresent and omniscient God. And I think people need to stop thinking like that's the only story of Gods.
This isn't going their way. This is spitting on 10,000 years of history and culture to displace them to a landmass they have no reason to care about. It's spitting on everyone who loved Warcraft 3 Kaldorei.
@@valeclaw1697 adapt to the world that has moved on from just focusing on Kalimdor. Literally elves with dragons what more do you want from a fantasy.
While I agree that she allowed that tree to burn but I think she atleast do a minor intervention. I remember somewhere in bfa novel where she actually made all the victims of teldrassil sleep so they had a painless death, I don't think any God have done that throught history of wow.
Elune eased the Elves suffering at the burning of Teldrassil, trusting their spirits to go to Ardenweald and help fight against the enemy there, little expecting they’d instead be forced into the Maw. Also, she cannot enter Ardenweald, using Tyrande as her mouthpiece.
Which boils down to: Elune isn’t truly an omniscient goddess, yet she’s apparently immortal. Bets on whether she’s something to do with the original world tree (drum roll) Elun’ahir…
Where tf is malfurion
In the shadowlands and he comes back later :)
Alright 1,25 x speed looks much better
I dunno man, for as nice and wholesome as this was... Does this mean the Night Elves are immortal again? 'Cause that's what I wanna know. I'ts not bad by any means though, I'd just like some clarification, oh, and Malfurion to come back.
they were greanted Immortality by Nozdormu for one purpose - since that entire issue is now a moot point, and he has rethought everything after Fandral and such, that wont happen again.. The aspects themselves received blessings rather than granting, them , and it was Aman'thul's special juju he gave to Nozzy that made it possible. Since Nozzy no lnger has the Titan magic, That alone might make it impossible to repeat.
Blizz really need to put a a soloable story difficulty in raids with the main NPCs of the story as your comrades so casuals don't have to wait weeks to see these. It takes nothing away from the raiders, and the people who just want to pound through the content are happy. It's a lose for literally no one.
For real
NGL, was hoping Malfurian would do an entrance to make this really be the 'finale'.

Don’t call them “nelfs”!
Dialogue is wayyyy too slow
Nice new city. I left the game a couple of years ago and I loved both night elves and horde races in general. I can only remember how its interesting how blizzard loves to get the faction that have races that were not inspired by white people cultures (like the alliance races) and make them savages barbarians and forces half of the playerbase to commit genocide after loosing leaders. I left the game at the time because I didnt think it was healthy for me seeing horde leaders being destroyed for nothing, expansion after expansion, and entering the forums to see actual people calling us genocidal barbarians, it was not fun being some excuse for alliance and their races feel free to be the goodies in a heros journey trope and in a fight against "the savages", all that historical/colonization racist excuses bullshit white people loved to tell for the last centuries. That time was when I realized the game not as an immersive world, but as a story build by some NA and EU ppl, nothing more. And I think the devs are still out of touch of their playerbase.
Elune out here playing the MINE MINE MINE card
I like this conclusion for the NE.
It’s only the conclusion of one story, and the beginning of another.
And then Malfurion returned and imprisoned her for the vial.
Hahaha nice callback to Illidan hahah.
That joke stinks!
Beautiful cinematic, but Amirdrassil being permanently put on the Dragon Isles almost ruins it all.. Kalimdor is the home of the Night Elves 😞 it’s the opposite side of the world from Ashenvale
Feels cheap to me. New World Tree isn't in Kalimdor, it's on the Dragon Isle.. so isn't distinctly 'Kaldorei'. It isn't a city, it isn't the zone that Teldrassil was.
So are they inmortal again?
- Bel'ameth, our new home!
* Creates a new Nelf, starts in Darnassus, in a tree that burned like 3 expansions ago.
Wow she really used the phiole from illidan
It's a good cutscene, ignore the mentally ill night elf players that will somehow be upset over this
Nothing makes them happy anyway.
Hey, I’m a Night Elf player and I love this.
Doesn’t matter that I’m a DH.
They got driven from their ancestral lands and we're supposed to be happy about it?
@@OmegaSoypremeThe tree is going to be placed in their ancestral lands.
@@OmegaSoypremeThey weren't. They already retook their lands. The heritage questline was placed in Kalimdor to remind that Night Elves are there and they are doing their duties.
Now we are getting a new tree with a new city under it. I am happy about it.
W...re Tyrande
Didn't Illidan do this and got 10k sentence?
That was water from a Moonwell, blessed by Elune.
Eh.
Blizzard saying a people displaced from their home content now can only start healing because they've just abandoned it and 15,000 years of history and culture... is so on brand for blizzard tbh.
bigger companies forced bilizard to merged with them, after that blizzard no longer a private company, till this day they are still same not private company and owned by micrasoft empire now

So Ilidan was always right about the water then?
This game has been pussified beyond all recognition. I miss you garrosh, we need you back.
It is hillarious to see Tyrande being that devote to a goddess that sent them all to the maw (even if she did not know, they would be still used as a source of power for ardenweald, the only difference was the place they ended up) XD
She's quite literally the avatar of Elune now, she barely has a choice at this point lol.
Oopsie
Elune did not sacrifice the night elves to die in the first place, she made use of the situation. Thats a lot different.
@@christianbolze7092 And who said that? people really can't read these days man!
@@christianbolze7092 Huh??? Elune literally said in the dialogue - I just finished going through SL last week. "I heard your cries, felt your pain, and in the wake of tragedy, sent forth the cascade of souls to sustain you." Directed to the Winter Queen & Tyrande when asked why she didn't answer their calls to save them, and when the Winter Queen asked why she ignored her own pleas to help the drought.
She sacrificed her own people, without telling them, to send to the Winter Queen - and Over half of them ended up in the maw. I don't mind the narrative choice, but she did sacrifice them. Let's not pretend she has a mortal moral compass.
Perhaps go through the questline again to double check the context?
Edit: Also let's neither pretend the Night Elves even wanted to go to the Winter Queen in the first place - they were expecting their Goddess to save them. She didn't, she sent them to help her sister instead. That *IS* in all intentionally purposes - a Sacrifice.
The High Pristess Tyrand return.
Where is MALFURION. Ysera went back to the Shadowlands. Give him back now. Have they really forgotten him?!
He is back; there is a new cutscene where Ysera go back to the shadowlands to repay a "debt" to an old friend.
"We have suffered so much" - Tyrande being dumb once again.
It's hard to name a race that hasn't suffered on Azeroth...
Worgen have suffered significantly more, with the curse + losing Gilneas.
Humans have lost their capital city, twice. One to the Scourge and another to the Orcs.
Forsaken is kinda self explanatory.
Draenei legit lost their entire planet, and was chased for thousand of years by the burning legion.
Gnomes lost their entire home as well, plus they're short and I bet that kinda sucks.
Blood Elves were almost wiped out by the Scourge.
Tauren were near extinction from the Centaur, when the Orcs found them.
Orcs were manipulated and forced into servitude of the Burning Legion, causing them to lose their home planet.
I could go on and on... It just sounds so dumb when characters are like "Oh it's so sad for me", when almost everyone around them have suffered just as much and in some cases even more..
Honestly... Blizzard promised there would be a final big epic win for the Night Elves that would justify the long journey of suffering and loss they have endured. If they think "Hey, you got back a world tree home for your survivors" is it, I'm very disappointed. Heck, they have a world tree already, Nordrassil.
I hope this isn't the end, and patch 10.2.5 will have some final surprise, like "And the souls of those who were within the seed are brought to back to life as playable dryads" or something.
You’re asking for something stupid.
Why is she still worshipping elune?
didn't they imprison Illidan for 10,000 years for what Tyrande just did
The Night Elves admitted what they did was wrong and worked to readmit Highborn Elves and Arcane Mage Elves back into their society.
No, this isn't a new Well of Eternity, and Tyrande didn't kill her own people to deposit this water.
She said she brought water from the temple in Darnassus not the well of Eternity like Illidan
@@Regfife on a technicality, Illidan was just defending himself
Tbf to the mindset of the time, they had *just* expelled a demonic army that was spilling forth from the Well of Eternity which then essentially nuked Kalimdor to pieces. And Illidan goes and just makes a new one without telling anyone. It's a bit different.
Now let get sylvanas again burn down the tree again 🤡
look at the surrorunding ne models.. this was a fail from beginning!
another reason why classic has won the battle..
finally night elves whining comes to an end. thank god
Nah cause this literally killed 15,000 years of history when all NEs needed was a small story in their own lands like the Forsaken got.
You thought it was gonna be that easy did you?
They got driven out of kalimdor and the souls of the dead elves became a new power source for the dragons to keep in their backyard. This is not a win!
@valeclaw1697 War has consequences, you should get over it.
People wanna say the game has no bite/consequences, and when it does the other half complain there's too many... But only when it affects the thing they like! Otherwise it's funny, or something.
Writing isn't great rn, but I do feel really bad for them dealing with these weirdos.
@@OmegaSoypremeThat’s stupid.
Can we even call ourselves Kaldorei anymore? We've been successfully genocided off Kalimdor, onto lands we have no history with whatsoever.

Blizzard is really trying to pass off an indigenous people being forced out of their lands to live on the other side of the world as a happy ending.
Eh, the Night Elves did it to the trolls first millenia ago then essentially nuked the continent to pieces. At some point everyone has taken land from someone else.
@@Xynth25Night Elves are mutated trolls.
Exactly, while the logical answer to this dumb writing is they're just lazy to revamp to old zone on kalimdor, but I just can't wrap my mind how this is literally giving the same vibes of the treatment of native people, especially in America, move them out to faraway land, that's isolated from the rest of the world, sound familliar huh? 🤢
@@GOODCHRISTIANBOTTOM tbf it's not like there aren't massive refugee crisises happening right now in the world in several regions. There's not a monopoly on that type of suffering by Native American tribes. You can try to be positive and look at it as a success story for a migrant people displaced by war. It's not the worst message, it's just delivered in Blizzard's typical cartoonish way that saps maturity from the messaging.
War is bad, who knew?
Sometimes you don't get happy.
Half the fanbase saying blizzard are too soft and the story had no bite/consequences, other half saying the Night elves should revive a burned tree and sing hymns while holding hands.
I'm not gonna say the writing is amazing, but I can see why they're having trouble pleasing people.
