Battle for Lordaeron Jaina Cinematic

Recommended Posts

Y83YXKA.jpg

Here's a new cinematic of epic proportions showing off Jaina's epic arrival to aid King Anduin in the Battle for Lordaeron!

Battle for Lordaeron is now available on live realms and three new cinematics have emerged! You can find the other two other cinematics here.

In the Jaina cinematic, we see Proudmoore arrive to the battle with style on a flying boat and the Arcane Barrage is epic too! What do you think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Credit to MMO-Spoilers for the video.

Blight being removed by casting a giant frost nova... How high must one's suspension of disbelief be?

 

Next time Chen Stormstout comes in and just does a burp to the same effect. What's this deus ex machina?

 

"We don't really know what Jaina can use as assets to remove lingering gas, but we HAVE to give her a good entrance anyway, so let's just use a frost nova."

Okay I'll admit it, that was a cool entrance... Still doesn't absolve her for spending an entire Demon Invasion sulking her room like a little brat though.

The whole flying ship thing with arcane canons looks a bit overdone and kitsch but Jaina by herself rocks. The ice nova vs. plague loks a bit funny but why not. it's Blizzard, let's say that the cold kills the bacteria or something.

To be honest, she looks kinda tired. Black circles beneath her eyes, pale skin, her hair is almost fully white now.

Jaina, gal, you have let yourself go.

I'm not well versed on the minute details of lore, but can someone explain why it seems Jaina has experienced a leap in power level?  It feels like she's being portrayed at the same power level as Khadgar, which seems out of place to me.

The use of arcane is taxing, and corrupts.  Khadgar, too, looks older than he is, and is often portrayed with dark bags under his eyes.

Khadgar looks old because of the curse Medivh cast on him, though.

Maybe it's the power of PURE ANGER. Or in a sense she had her "Elsa moment" and just "Let it go", as in finally getting over the grief for her father and Kul'Tiras and taking action.

The frost nova was powerful enough to essentially push away the blight, much like a heavy gust.

When you see your own father being struck down by the Horde, your own lover becoming the Lich King, seeing Theramore Island get bombed etc etc. I'm not surprised she look's tired, she's been through hell.

Jaina is the most deserving WoW character of raid boss status.

 

Let's send her to her father already!

Jaina has always been OP.  Since MoP she has been the most powerful Mage on Azeroth.

Kadghar is only the Kirin'Tor's leader because Jaina /gquit.

Remember the Thunder King in MoP?  The guy that had the power of the Titan's in his staff and could control eventually gain control over all creation?

That power has been Jaina's since the end of MoP.  This is why I keep one Alliance toon to play through the other side.  The Alliance Characters imbue Jaina's Staff, which used to be Antodias' Staff, with the power of the Thunder King the Pinnacle of Storms.

That's why her threat to summon thousands of water elementals to Drown Orgrimmar was a real threat that she needed to be talked down from.  Most Mages can summon 1 elemental she can control thousands of elementals at the same time.

Through walls and all the way within the city as well. Impressive.

Very impressive! I hope to see more of this!

 

All jokes aside, the blight was more than likely pushed around the building or upwards. Stop over analysing and getting upset over the smallest things.

I wouldn't really call changing the entire outcome of the battle all by herself small.

He's not talking about her changing the entire outcome of the battle. He's talking about the physics and logic behind the frost Nova that was used to get rid of the blight. Since Jaina isn't really a shaman she can't just call upon the forces of the wind spirits to sweep the blight away. Instead she casts a very powerful frost Nova that is capable of clearing the area.

He also proceeds to claim that it goes through the walls and such, thus complaining about a minor detail that isn't really showed all that well. 

My thing is, is that she came in on a flying ship. And the one thing that stands out is the fact that she used a frost Nova? Come on. Jaina literally rode in on a flying ship, used it's own cannons to lay siege to the walls. But nooooooo, the fact that frost Nova was used in this scenario is far more bizarre and wrong.

Is this the first time you're seeing a flying ship in WoW? It started all the way in Vanilla... Of course I'm not going to be surprised about something that's been in the game since the beginning.

Yep. I didn't play in Vanilla, started in TBC. 

Unless you're talking about the Zeppelins and flying alliance ships.

And in that case, yes. But at least the ships have some way of being lifted or stay in the air. Jaina is literally using magic to lift and fly a boat, which is cool but pretty bizarre and strange.

Well Priests can use levitate and Mages slow fall it's kinda an advanced version of it. The thing is though... she is levitating the ship, using a giant frost Nova that's cleansing the blight (which in Wotlk before needed Alexstrasza to do, even Arthas retreated from it) AND is using Arcane Barrage with Arcane Cannons that simply destroy the Lordaeron walls right after. Mana Problems anyone?

She just did in a few minutes/seconds what an entire army could not.

Jaina is a very powerful mage, this really shouldn't be a surprise. We have seen her grow in power as time went on. Which is why she is capable of doing the things that you have pointed out. 

Still pretty strange for her to be riding in on a ship.

      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.
