World of Warcraft Sylvanas 1:3 Scale Bust Pre-Orders

Recommended Posts

A brand new World of Warcraft Sylvanas 1:3 Scale Bust is now available for pre-order on the Blizzard Gear Store.

The officially licensed bust was created in collaboration with Infinity Studio and Blizzard. It costs $430 and won't ship until February 2023 or earlier.

Infinity Studio and Blizzard are honored to present our latest creation from world-famous franchise World of Warcraft: 1:3 Scale Sylvanas Windrunner Bust! Infinity Studio’s Sylvanas Bust captures the essence of this most iconic character in this 15-inch statue. The head sculpt was refined to bring the dignity of “the Banshee Queen” as well as an ultimate likeness. Carved armor with extremely realistic texture is reflected by detailed painting. The amazing reliefs on the base show her epic origin: from the ranger-general of Silvermoon killed by Arthas to become the ruler of the Undercity. Infinity Studio and Blizzard forged our passion with our high-quality craftwork into this bust.

A bust of Sylvanas? Yeah, I really wanted a constant reminder of one of the main reasons I quit the game on my nightstand...

 

Hehe just had to enter salty nerd-mode there for a second. I'll fly away now.

How fitting world of warcraft is being crushed under the portly might of her oppressive limbless torso.

I don't get it. I like Sylvanas I think she's a great characters. However, for some reason she is hated by WoW's, shall we say... maladjusted, player base.

Sylvanas is the most hated character in the last 2 expansions due to terrible writing and yet they decided to choose her. I really don't get them

If you like her, that's great for you; continue to enjoy her stuff!

"for some reason" ... C'mon now.

Also, you should be okay with fans having different likes and dislikes.

Framing people in negative light because they dislike what you like is unhealthy.

Give me the reason.

Give me your opinion.

Also, claiming that people who are vehemently opposed to imaginary characters aren't maladjusted is terribly incognizant.

How about you state any reasons she IS "great character"?

Because she stopped being one since Cata started and her arc that began in WC3 was over, farting her way on the background until BfA to finally be something important again... only to end up an inferior Kerrigan, who embodies the same trope.

They finally did something worthy with her at the very end, but it took SIX expansions to get there, including two with the poorest character writing.

Ps: that and she also shat all over the final farewell a p,ayer could give to Arthas, despite having no reason to even open her mouth. That alone is infuriating.

Her story is heavily disjointed, full of contradictions, even more so if you include the books. Apparently she lied in her own thoughts. She had her own goals, then she didn't, was controlled by the Jailer, then not controlled again, but then controlled, yet not completely. So what was good about her story? How do you defend that?

I mean I pretty regularly throw shade at Sylvanas in these articles, there's no hot take here. I'm sure you can find my comment history or something if you're passionately interested. I've praised her character up till around Cataclysm.

 

But your last sentence is just odd. It looks like you get defensive when people don't like the character you like. It's not personal. And really, avoid throwing all these ill-used adjectives at others. I don't think it's a good look. You can still like Sylvanas all you want!

Whether or not the writers are good and can tell a consistent story isn't Sylvanas' fault. That line could be applied to any character they've written.

Why do I like Sylvanas? I like her because she's raw. She doesn't care what you or the horde or anyone else think. She'll level anyone and anything that gets in the way of her goals. She might do it overtly or she might do it covertly but she will do it. Her alliances are alliances of convenience. She's ruthless and driven.

She doesn't care about whether or not you think she's "evil". She does what she wants when she wants to. She's not concerned with being politically correct or jumping through PC hoops and she doesn't care about your boxes when she does it.

That's part of why I like her. Probably the biggest part.

To be fair, the fact that she is even being discussed right now tells me that she's a good character.

 

Bound to the iron will of the tyrant Lich King, the vast undead armies of the Scourge seek to eradicate all life on Azeroth. Led by the banshee, Sylvanas Windrunner, a group of renegades broke away from the Scourge and freed themselves from the Lich King's domination. Known by some as the Forsaken, this group fights a constant battle not only to retain its freedom from the Scourge, but also to slaughter those who would hunt them as monsters. With Sylvanas as their banshee queen, the Forsaken have built a dark stronghold beneath the ruins of Lordaeron's capital city. This hidden Undercity forms a sprawling labyrinth that stretches beneath the haunted woods of the Tirisfal Glades. Though the very land is cursed, the zealous humans of the Scarlet Crusade still cling to their scattered holdings, obsessed with the eradication of the undead and retaking their homeland. Convinced that the primitive races of the Horde can help them achieve victory over their enemies, the Forsaken have entered an alliance of convenience. Harboring no true loyalty for their new allies, they go to any lengths to ensure their dark plans come to fruition. The members of the Forsaken have a simple task - to massacre any who pose a threat to the new order, human, undead or otherwise.

And now a lot of it was because of Jailer's influence. She regrets what she was doing and is like a different person now.

They butchered her character, turned her from a "Grey" mindset of a character to someone who was supposedly manipulated by a force beyond the veil that essentially excused all of her actions the moment she was set free. It's bad writing on all fronts, which is why she is such a hated character. I guarantee if the events in BFA and Shadowlands did not occur she would probably be more likeable, but alas she is not.

That doesn't dictate if she is a good character? If talking about a character so much equates to good character, then that means the Jailer is an amazing character. This point does not hold up in any fashion.

But that's the issue with her writing. You say she's "raw" and that she will level anyone and everything, but yet the actions she made till this point wasn't even hers. It was all influenced by the jailer. Hell she wasn't even "herself" by all accounts.. her whole personality and being did a 180 the minute she supposedly got her "humanity" back. So really, the actions and character of Sylvanas was all fabricated by the Jailer. That's how terrible her writing is. The mere fact that sole character who created these sequence of events isn't even responsible because she wasn't who she was. Which is very frustrating.

The fact the 'rejoined' Sylvanas considers what the Banshee Queen did abhorrent and the entire Kyrian arc of 9.1 say 'hi'.
It's not "dumb" if you simply can't or won't process it.

Yeah they hacked her into pieces. Thought we had established that.

Same people that gave you "Sylvanas is jailer puppet" and "Calia Who? Menethil" are the ones that gave you this arrow to the knee nonsense.

Who Sylvanas really is, or at least was in Metzen's and the creators minds, I already described. Heck I even linked the original manifesto of the Forsaken to you give context as to who they were meant to be.

...and the amount of dialogue and debate about her does make her a good character. Do you remember the quest giver that asked you to get 10 bear livers? Do you remember his name? Is he a good character?

Why not specify that then? Why not specify that you like the "old sylvanas" before they butchered her character? Just because you linked some Forsaken manifesto doesn't mean we are going to tie to some time frame. When we talk about Sylvanas we are talking about her as a whole currently at the present. Which we can all agree is very terrible.

Again... argument doesn't hold up. You can talk about a character and hold discussions yes, but the reason why she is the main focus is due to her poor design decisions as we have discussed. By all accounts of your logic, the Jailer is a good character. 

And by all accounts you can like Sylvanas that's your choice. But to determine if she is a great character is all very subjective. You think she's amazing? Go for it bud. But at the end of the day when we look at what happened to her overall character, the community as a whole can agree that we are all pretty tired of hearing the name "Sylvanas"

      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.

    • By Starym
      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.
