Battle for Lordaeron Finale Cinematics

Recommended Posts

KN4MpVt.jpg

Final cinematics for Battle for Lordaeron are now available with the scenario enabled in North America. It's time to witness the GRAND FINALE!

Both cinematics are different depending on your faction. Credit to MMO-Spoilers for the videos!

Battle for Lordaeron Final Cinematic  (Alliance)

Anduin, Genn, Alleria, and Jaina approach Sylvanas and give her a chance to surrender, or die. Anduin tells her that she has led a war without honor. Alleria tells her she should have killed her long ago, but Sylvanas calmly approaches Anduin and tells him: "You won NOTHING", before going full banshee and blowing up Undercity. Jaina casts some sort of arcane barrier to protect the Alliance party.

Batle for Lordaeron Final Cinematic (Horde)

The Horde cinematic starts with Baine, Nathanos, and Sylvanas entering the throne room. Baine blames Sylvanas for abandoning Saurfang to die to the hands of the Alliance (the event takes place after Alliance forces decide to imprison Saurfang). Sylvanas tells him it's the death he wanted and if that troubled Baine, he's free to join him, or he could tend to the living. Baine mumbles "For the Horde", and returns to help Saurfang. Finally, she tells Nathanos what needs to be done and just casually chills on the throne, waiting for Anduin to arrive.

Why Jaina didn't remove the plague, when just earlier she did that with her frost spells?

Wasn't that the new plague that Blightcaller wanted to use in the novella to kill Night Elves? Saurfang was against it and they agreed to bring in more siege cannons instead.

Say what you will about Sylvanas and her motivations but she is winning the war. She's destroyed an enemy stronghold and secured her flank as well as drawn a massive enemy force into a trap and forced them to endure a pyrrhic victory. The alliance holds a plague infested ruin for all the lives they spent, meanwhile she can solidify her hold on Kalimdor and all the Azerite deposits in Silithus.

Don't get me wrong I'm still not happy with the direction the writing has taken with much us, The Horde, the bad guys yet again but at least we're competent bad guys this time... That's a win I guess?

It is possible, though I wonder how it could have resisted Jaina's magic then.

I like the direction it takes. Sylvanas is being Sylvanas, she just looks a little bit more evil than usual lately (visually I mean).

I agree, that was definitely dumb for the Blizz to do that. I think the only way to argue that is in the explosion also most of city was fallen down and now it needs time to clean the plague (also from the dirt) and then to rebuild the city.

IIRC, the plague deployment makes the land unihabitable for quite some time, but I think we're in for the retcon if Jaina just nullified it with a single spell...

Well Jaina only froze the blight and it would need time to get Ruins in a livable state.They cant really waste time with tending to Undercity while the war is going on and Azeroth is hurt.

And now forward to the isles in the middle of nowhere for the rest of the expansion, and no one talks about the war, Teldrassil, Loraderon or Silithus again.

Yay, adventure!

Did...did they just forget that she could do that whole banshee thing?   I mean in-game time wise she just did it outside like 30 minutes ago in front of their faces?

I think that they knew that she could had scaped if she wanted... so, if shi didn't ran, it should have some kind of trap (thats why Anduin stop Genn).

Maybe some new recept to make it more resistant agains normal magic :) so it will not be dealt easily by magic like in WrathGate (where it were purifired by a dragon fire breath) by a lot of dragons btw (which fire have magical properties) :)

Well if you look closely her frost spell just whoosh it like wind could have done it, remember it's outside. While on close door I don't think it would have worked ? also it took a bit longer to cast her frost spell, while indoor it was an emergency and they were no benefit of doing it since they were only 4 there.

I just want to reinforce that everybody not satisfied with Sylvanas' actions should read the novella Blizzard released, at least the Horde one ("A good war"). It really explains the reasoning behind the Warchief's actions, even if I still don't like it. And is shows just how much info was left out of the in game quests and content (also in my opinion the book writers are better then the quest writers). I hope the Alliance's short story ("Elegy") is as good, but I haven't read it yet.

Still, it doesn't appear to be well thought. If she intends to take over whole Kalimdor then what about Nordrassil? Wouldn't she have to  fight Cenarius, other "Wild Gods" and druids (including neutral ones)? What about Exodar? And the list goes on.

Another important thing left out of games is The Gathering (from Before the Storm) and Calia Menethil being resurrected as a special type of undead. Players who only know game will be confused if Calia suddenly reappears as undead, although many may not know her if they didn't play or watch priest campaign from Legion.

I think WoD was even worse in that regard, when the last players have seen of Garrosh was him being taken for trial in Pandaria, then suddenly there is Horde from alternate past attacking and Garrosh is somehow present in that version of Draenor. Without reading a book, there wasn't any explanation.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
