+ Show Spoiler [Alliance Questline] + Saurfang let Malfurion and Tyrande to escape, even telling them to leave some place else other than Darnassus. I feel like even he doesn't want to do everything Sylvanas wants to do, despite his willingness to help with the invasion Vol'Jin's vision/decision or whatever that made him elect Sylvanas as the next Warchief is the interesting part, because there has to be a reason. | ||

In the newest book, pretty early on it's clear how most of the Horde leaders don't exactly trust Sylvanas or see things exactly her way. Sylvanas clearly burns down the tree impulsively, so i have hard time believing the other leaders would agree with such action. + Show Spoiler [Alliance Questline] + Saurfang let Malfurion and Tyrande to escape, even telling them to leave some place else other than Darnassus.

Not long ago everyone saw Garrosh plunge the Horde back into its dark days. Realistically he should have buried his axe in Sylvanas's neck when she orders the burning. The Horde being seemingly ok with this after MoP makes 0 sense. | ||

Warrior class campaign starts with him going on a suicide mission into the broken shores. | ||

There's only one leader who sees that the tree is burning that we know of, excluding Sylvanas. Even Nathanos seemed to be surprised by the order to burn it down. | ||

Even Nathanos seemed to be surprised by the order to burn it down. This isn't protecting Horde interests in Kalimdor, this is mass murder of civilians. This is the allies dropping a 3e nuke on Japan AFTER the Japanese surrendered just to really rub it in. | ||

The whole city is on fire now. As i said earlier, how many of them knew for sure, Sylvanas was going to burn the tree in the first place, considering what we just saw in the cinematic? Also, there was only one other leader and whatever army she had with her when the order took place. It's clearly impulsively given out order by Sylvanas. | ||

This thing Blizz is doing trying to make the point that you can't label an entire group as one thing because it is made up of individuals is pretty BS. And the thing they are doing with Individuals changing over time, as they learn new things and have new experiences? *gag* More generic good vs evil stories plz + Show Spoiler + this is obviously sarcasm but I will point it out anyways since some people can't tell | ||

Also I would say stories showing how you can't label an entire group and people changing are the generic ones these days. Moral relativity has become a very mainstream thing. Which is why I think Blizzard is actually taking a surprising risk by being that definitive with one side being clearly wrong. In a way that is impressive to me. | ||

Sure it is, my question is why they try to paint it as a both sides are wrong / morally grey / matter of opinion thing when anduin is a carebear and sylvanas is literally hitler | ||

Maybe they wanted to keep people guessing, maybe they will again make some kind of horde redemption story as with Garrosh, which would be lame. Many seem to think that Sylvanas will become a raid boss and she will just be disposed of. Though I wonder how the undead faction could ever work without Sylvanas. She is not some upstart like Garrosh, she has been there since the beginning. From what I can gather people in general dont seem to know where this leads, which is at least one good thing no matter how you see the rest. | ||

Sylvanas Windrunner leads the Horde to victory, but a chance encounter causes her to make a decision that will forever change the course of history on Azeroth. What a joke, Sylvanas as a character is just ruined. At least Arthas had some goal when he leveled Silvermoon and he was already pretty much pure evil by then. Sylvanas just went on a random genocide. So Sylvanas is now worse than cursed death knight Arthas. But still the leader of the tauren,trolls and blood elves? The nightborne? | ||

Also we already did the "Horde Warchief turns evil" in MoP. And yes, Sylvanas doing it in a fit of rage because a dying Nelf felt sorry for her really doesn't make it better. At all... | ||

Now we have an understandable reason instead a fit of rage. Additionaly Saurfang's quest for honour is the trigger for the war and stands in contrast to Sylvanas pragmatism. | ||

For example, Sylvanas decides to burn the tree to crush the spirit of the Alliance, because Saurfang let Malfurion escape. The original goal was to kill Malfurion before the NE fleet could return. Now we have an understandable reason instead a fit of rage. Additionaly Saurfang's quest for honour is the trigger for the war and stands in contrast to Sylvanas pragmatism. Yeah this is a cool alternative lol. Such minor changes that go a long way narratively. Sylvanas always felt like the "cold and calculating" leader. Looking for alternative strategies when her original goes south, especially if it was undermined by someone just below her in the chain of command (further incentivizing her to get extra vicious by destroying the whole tree+everything, show of force keeping her own followers in check in addition to big damage to the opposition). Stuff that's just a tiny bit more in line with the character she's had up til now...? The Sylvanas from the cinematic just seems desperate. I'm fine with her becoming a "villain" in the long run but they could/should do wayyyy more interesting things with it. So far off to a rocky start lol. | ||

know what might be the story of Saurfang early on and what happens during Battle for Lordaeron. Changes a lot what we've seen today. | ||
