The Fate of Two Notable Lore Characters in Dragonflight

Recommended Posts

dS7JFu1.jpg

Datamined broadcast text from the latest Dragonflight Alpha Build 44999 reveals the fate of two notable lore characters in Dragonflight. This post contains spoilers.

The broadcast text is a conversation between Tyrande and Malfurion about Ysera. The Green Dragonflight needs Ysera back, so they will resurrect her… at a cost. Malfurion switches places with Ysera in Ardenweald.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Ysera, your flight needs you.

Tyrande Whisperwind: We need you.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Whatever the price may be for your return to Azeroth, name it.

Malfurion: Tyrande...

Malfurion: Ohn...ahra... I am sorry.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Tell us!

Malfurion: It's me.

Malfurion: I must be the one to stay.

Tyrande Whisperwind: What?

Malfurion: Ysera knows this -- though she would never ask it of me.

Tyrande Whisperwind: No.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Pathetic.

Tyrande Whisperwind: We will find another way.

Malfurion Stormrage: When she gave her life for mine in Val'sharah, it was not her time.

Malfurion Stormrage: And now... the balance may be restored.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Then... then I will stay as well.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Shandris and the others can...

Malfurion Stormrage: Tyrande...

Malfurion Stormrage: Should everything we hope come to pass, the Kaldorei will need you.

Tyrande Whisperwind: I am so tired, Malfurion.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Do not ask this of me.

Tyrande Whisperwind: After everything we have endured...

Malfurion Stormrage: My love.

Malfurion Stormrage: You have always been the strength of our people.

Malfurion Stormrage: They will follow you ever onward, and you will never be alone.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Until I see you again...

Tyrande Whisperwind: I will dream of the night we may truly rest... together.

Death doesn't really mean anything after SL, even less so when you get sent to Ardenweald. Hell, Tyrande could just go visit him whenever she wants to because there is no way in hell that there isn't a mage capable of opening a portal.

Whatever made you think there IS a mage capable of doing it.

Well, how else would they have left?

This implied love fest has no credibility.  Time and again, Tyrande has shown she'll toss Malfurion aside at literally any opportunity where she may feel needed elsewhere, or just to follow her own whims.

Seems weird to have it be Malfurion. Tyrande's just had a massive arc that she came to a resolution of. Malfurion's just been... kicking around?

Well, he's not the only one who goes "missing" for several patches. We can assume leaders are often busy with something, but they will never go into specifics. This seems like easy way to write him out, but do they really need to do this? There are many more leaders who aren't doing anything and it's never addressed.

Yeah, as you say -- why write him out all of a sudden? Why not Tyrande, whose story has come to a decent end and could be satisfyingly laid to rest for at least some time?

...this smells of the same "epic storytelling" as Vol'jin dying in Legion and deciding Sylvannas was the perfect choice because fever voices.

At least he was killed by some nobody demon out of nowhere.      Malfurion just literally gives up living by what we see there?


It also seems hamfisted to the Nth degree.    How does this logic work, how does Malfurion know this, how does it make any sense.    Malfurion was in the general zone area when Xavien used his corrupted crystal, as he fully planned to, on Ysera.    How was Malfurion supposed to be the intended target in that storyline?     How do you even start to logic her "giving her life for him"?    There was a hot pursuit and she was ambushed.    And even if this junk story logic was true, how would Malfurion have the cosmic all knowing knowledge about any of this?     Just stupid as hell.

I agree. I also think there are certain characters in WoW that are pillars, and shouldn't be going anywhere. Examples would be Thrall, Vol'jin, Varian, Garrosh, Malfurion. Even with complete character arcs, I don't see any benefit to killing these characters off, or making them disappear. If or when they do, it's always come, to me, as either shock value, or just in a disrespectful way.

I dont have a problem with these characters dying, but i really want this "death" of furion wont be a total "only to shock thing". I would be very sad, because i really like him, he is married, sleeps most of time, has a emo brother, likes animalz, he is basicly me, joking aside, he deserves a good ending if he is going to die, a high quality cinematic like saurfang, and very very very meaningfully, i always played as a tauren, but it doesnt mean i dont like other faction characters

I'm okay with characters dying too. For instance, I specifically omitted Uther as I felt his death made perfect sense in the storyline of Arthas. I just don't like when they unceremoniously get rocked, like Vol'jin, or low-key get killed like Garrosh in an in-game cutscene at the end of a zone.

 

I'm the same way with cross-faction characters too. If they're meaningful, I will care about them, regardless of side.

Ah yes that one character that spent 0 time in Shadowlands knows that he must sacrifice himself to ressurect Ysera. Anything to eliminate characters without Mary Sue potential I guess.

Tyrande has been the leader of the Kal'dorei for over 10,000 years already is totally affirmative action for women. Malfurion has only assumed a leadership position during wartime situations, and even then primarily as the head of the druids and not as head of state.

Turalyon is leading Stormwind in Anduin's absence.

Genn Greymane still represents Gilneas.

Council of Three Hammers is 2:1 male:female

Mekkatorque still leads the Gnomes

Velen still leads the Draenei

Tushui Pandaren by Aysa Cloudsinger

Jaina inherited Lord Admiral of Kul Tiras from her mother, who took over after Daelin died during WC3:TFT

Ren'dorei are jointly led by Alleria and Umbric

Lightforged are jointly led by Turalyon and Fareeya

Mechagnomes by Prince Erazmin

 

Thrall - Orcs of Durotar, Garrosh during Cata/MOP

Rokhan - Darkspear Trolls, previously led by Vol'jin

Baine - Tauren, previously led by Cairne

Forsaken - Desolate Council is 3:2 female:male, previously led by Sylvanas since WC3:TFT

Sin'dorei - Lorthemar Theron, previously Kael'Thas since WC3:TFT

Bilgewater Cartel - Gazlowe, previously Gallywix

Huoshin Pandaren - Ji Firepaw

Shal'dorei - Thalyssra, break away faction of nightborne led by Elisande for past 10,000 years just like Tyrande

Highmountain - Mayla, inherited due to pre-Legion death of father

Zandalari - Talanji inherited from father after death at hands of Alliance

Vulpera - Kiro

Mag'har - Geyarah, Thrall's alternate timeline female version, basically a what-if that escaped a collapsing timeline

 

TL;DR - You're a putz

That's not even relevant here.    Tyrande has been the leader for millennia.   Malfurion iirc only leads the druids, and has been spending most of his time in the emerald dream for a while.     Doing this "writing him out of the story" bit makes no sense except yet another middle finger to night elf lore.

Big Male Lore Characters that have died (Not including antagonists)

Rhonin

Krasus

Tirion

Varok

Both Black Hands

Medivh

Durotan

Ner'zhul  (briefly used in SL)

Garrosh (briefly used in SL)

Vol'jin (briefly used in SL)

Arthas (briefly used in SL)

Varian

Ursoc (Became Eggsoc for 5 seconds)

Malygos

Cairne

Alt Velen

King Rastakahn

Big Female Lore Characters that have died

Onyxia (Over 17 years ago)

Aegwynn (Death not even in game)

To add to this, the vast majority of negatively represented characters used as villains are male.

Just as a bonus, I find it funny Draka is in Shadowlands and Durotan isn't, i'm not including characters which are active in Shadowlands in this list.

TL;DR Try not to only address half a message, 'must remove men...'

 

 must remove men, only women, must adhere to message.

      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.
