Want to see how it should have ended?



I would totally have put that into my kill video in place of Blizzard's dumb ass ending. Belle would be Jaina... Abe is the teapot... etc.

The end was so fucking dissapointing. Blizzard's like oh, let's not focus on who the Lich King really is, let's just focus on Arthas' dumb ass. I wanted to see Ner'Zhul's soul screaming in fury in the frostmourn room rather than Menethil's retarded ass, who could have avoided all this if he had listened to the crazy guy who transformed into a Raven. Also, Bolvat doesn't stand a fucking chance in hell against Ner'Zhul, so it makes no sense at all that he'd be able to hold the scourge in place, even without his soul consumed by Frostmourne. They made it seem as if the Lich King is the person wearing the helm, when in reality they're not at all. What they need to do i have fucking Ner'Zhul posses Bolvar's ass and show them what's up. Instead we get to see a 3 second clip of Arthas dying with no mention of Ner'Zhul, the fucking guy who was responsible for the Orc's corruption and invasion of Azeroth, the one who made Draenor get ripped apart by arcane energy, and the one who after being mercillessly tortured by Kil'Jaeden became the lich king and brought about the second coming of the Legion. In all that Arthas was basically a little toy that got manipulated left and right, and had no real control even after they fused, which only happened because Malfurian is retarded and stopped Illidan from destroying the frozen throne, giving Arthas time to escape from Lordaeron where the bitch staged a coup, and fight off Illidan and fuse with Ner'Zhul.

But no, let's make Arthas seem more important than he really is.

Thanks for the input on phase 3 Furly. It has been noted.

As a loose follower of the lore, the end of Wrath makes no sense to me. Why does it matter who wears the helmet? If the power is in the helmet, then why does Arthas’ defeat have nothing to do with us removing his helmet? I thought the bad guy was in the sword anyhow. If the sword breaks and all the souls it sucked get free, why doesn’t the bad guy get free too? Where’d the bad guy go?

Why exactly does there need to be a Lich King? There was no Lich King at some point in the past and everyone got along just fine then. So what gives? And what good is he locked in a block of ice? Why’s he need to be in there anyway? Who put the block of ice there? And couldn’t the Lich King just leave whenever the hell he felt like?

I don't even know who the Lich King is, anyhow. I think he's some combination of some bad guy trapped in Forstmourn and the human host that wields it, right? The sword and the world were just fine doing their thing until Arthas picked that shit up, so why the hell does there need to be a Lich King? Why can we just go back to that?

The Lich King exerts some form of control over the Scourge apparently, but what the hell does that even mean? Without the Lich King the Scourge would, what? Be even more mindless than they already are? Stupider undead doesn’t really sound like a bad thing. I think I heard someone say that, without the Lich King, they’d somehow overrun the world or something, but that makes no sense at all. Isn’t that what they are trying to do already? How is the Scourge’s stated goal of world domination somehow made worse by having a leader?

Who the fuck are the Scourge anyhow? How are they different from the rest of the undead? Aren’t they the ones that were lobbing plague bombs all over the place in that one cinematic? And if that was them, what the fuck were they doing shooting that shit at Arthas, who is supposedly controlling them?

All in all, the confusion made the whole thing pretty unsatisfying as a player of the game. Akama and Illidan I could understand. Blizzard should leave the shit you need a flowchart to follow in the paperback novels and keep things a bit more simple in game.

Don't get me started on Illidan and how blizzard portrayed him to dumb down the finer points of the lore surrounding him. They basically did all they could to make him seem insane and crazy to fit the evil role of the cover boss on BC, which they did for Arthas and wrath as well. The complexities of the characters is lost by the fact that the vast majority of people want to BEAT UP TEH BAD GUYZ!

I just find the bad guy and right click

But that's pretty much the point of a MMO. If I wanted rich story and deep background, I'd watch a movie or read a book. The in game lore should enhance my playing experience, not confuse it. If it's supposed to be the big, climatic reward for finishing the expansion, I should at least be able to understand it with just the limited lore presented in game.
