#patch 9.1

[queen-ishura]

It’s that time of the tier! As always, here’s a bingo chart made up of the mechanics (and other various related raid shenanigans) that my guild fails ~ spectacularly ~ at. 

I put in the “lifegripped off the edge by a priest” bit because I’ve been personally victimized by our priest too many times (seriously, he’s life-gripped me to the edge right before a knockback MORE THAN ONCE). 

Honorable mentions:

Fell through the hole in the platforms on Sylvanas

Didn’t soak the purple circles on the Nine

Killed by spiked ball on Painsmith

Killed by assassins before Eye

I hope that Zovaal controlling Anduin works like Harry Potter being Voldemort’s horcrux.

So if we have to “kill” Anduin, we only eliminate the part of the Jailer in him and don’t actually kill him.

Or if we kill the Jailer, he takes the part of his soul or whatever back from Anduin to revive himself and then Anduin joins us for the final fight.

soo (PTR SPOILERS) from what I’ve seen of the 9.1 intro quests in Ardenweald, Sylvanas attacks the Winter Queen as a distraction for someone (my guess is Jailer Anduin) to sneak into the Heart of the Forest and steal the sigil/key, which Bolvar tells us happens via a missing cinematic after we arrive too late to stop it. Which... potentially means a very cool moment/fight/conversation between Bolvar and Jailer Anduin, and which has a CHANCE of being cgi since they already have a fully rendered Bolvar model from the shadowlands trailer.

And from a story pov makes total sense since Bolvar has a history with both Anduin and the Jailer since he helped raise Anduin and he was the lich king... Make it happen bliz im ready

I’ve been considering cancelling my sub until 9.2 or even 10.0 for a while now. I just logged in today and saw that Blizzard really did update the talbuk animations.

It’s a small thing, but it may just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. How can I be hyped to do new content when Blizzard just went and actively ruined one of my favorite things in the game?

RIP talbuks. Blizzard did you dirty
