theres no way they bring in Ulrezaj No, because Maar is dead. ya right, the dude dies like 10 times and each time he teleports back to the preservers to heal, why cant he teleport somewhere else after the preservers were free? Ulrezaj takes down alrge armies alone, thats not much of a story arc it would be like every single mission being supernova only instead of a slow wall of fire its a fast archon The Queen of Blades can kick the butt of an army single handedly, and that didn't seem to be a huge problem. Also note how you're fighting against her forces in several missions, but you only fight against her directly as a unit once, in the final mission. The same could be true for Ulrezaj as a villain. no the queen of blades does not take out entire armies she can take out a squad by herself not an entire army by farting How can Ulrezaj be stronger than the Queen of Blades?

Ulrezaj is really big (being a supermassive archon). It would be like the Leviathan or Omegalisk taking out a whole army, which is perfectly plausible honestly.
His power level is being exaggerated. He retreated to regain strength after the fight with the army in the books (so that blizzard could use him later if they desired of course). He didn't just trounce them. He would be perfectly fine as a boss enemy like the Leviathan.
He also recruits/enslaves fellow protoss to continue his nefarious, traitorous end. He'd be a fun sidevillain.

I've always found Ulrezaj to be a little lame. "All archons vanish over time, except him, because we've decided he found a way to stay alive. And even we he became unable to use that special method, he could still survive, because." Okay, it's fun to have a dark archon as an enemy, but this feels a little convenient.

A major conflict between Zeratul and Ulrezaj could be this story arc- or maybe Blizzard will choose to use a different one and pass up Ulrezaj entirely. With the information we have so far, however, I believe fighting Ulrezaj is the most likely story arc for PvP in LotV. The PvP could be zeratul having to fight other protoss tribes to prove his strength or whatever.
Also the tal darmim dont like DT's, so theres always that reason.

redo the mission the DTs say "the Tal'Darim have imprisoned all who oppose them" they werent imprisoned because there DTs there imprisoned becuase they opposed the Tal'Darim
book taldarim =/= game taldarim

I really look forward to the singeplayer... WOL had a pretty good storyline for a game, I hope HotS will be just as good.

Go and play the original starcraft.
Then try and type that sentence without feeling dirty.
They only Story part was the protoss side campaign. And it heavily retconned sc1 lore and ruined a lot of the potential the first game set up.

+ Show Spoiler +I highly recommend to all those guys with this attitude to read the books, especially the dark templar trilogy. The heros like Urun, Mohandir, Selendis and Artanis are introduced there before WoL. And it actually gives reasonable doubt on Aduns and Tassadar death/ascension/reincarnation - whatever u want to call it. From my understanding the Tal'Darim in the books are the ones form Aiur, who escaped and became the ones from WoL 
Played the WoL-campaign like 3 times, and i liked it every time. Looking forward to HotS

yes, some people actually like the story theres no reason to flat out say there wrong like that, all he was saying is he enjpyed the story theres no reason to jump on him like that

i know this may sound stupid when but auir was close to being overrun, couldnt all the remaining templars and dark templars(we know they can fuse in sc2, but i know they didnt really like them in sc1 till auir was dead and they had no choice then eventually grew to accept them, so many not the dark templars) fused into this one massive super archon and tired that way, i mean even if this Ulrezaj was already super strong before the fusion, and he fused with really really strong friends, wouldnt like 10000000 templar kinda achieve a higher lvl, maybe then they could have saved auir, and at least tried it in the final protoss mission "utter darkness"(which i dont get how the warp gates work, why do u need to pay to send troops over if everywhere else is dead and this is the final battle ground, i guess the real answer is it is a game lol but still....)

whoever wrote the book jsut decided to overrule it with the rule of cool

It would be like the Leviathan or Omegalisk taking out a whole army, which is perfectly plausible honestly.
Even that's implausible. Unless Leviathan is like the size of a Death Star (or even a tenth the size, that would still be dozens of times larger than a Battlecruiser), which would be plausible I guess, but Omegalisk, there's no way to make it plausibly able to take out thousands and thousands of soldiers / fighting vehicles.

To be fair, play through the Terran campaign in SC1 and it's pretty bad. The Terrans in general just have bad storylines and human stupidity to deal with - the only "omfg" moment was sarah "dying". The Zerg and Protoss story, however, was pretty good. The Terran campaign simply set the scene for the Zerg/Protoss struggle to start.
