I see an expansion with a troll raid, I enjoy it.

Can we assume this art is done by the goat Bayard Wu?

Comment by Kaneharthrin

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out with the lore. I hope we get some good Aln'hara lore to give us a neat glance into the past.

Well that is just straight up badass.

I love Zul'jan so much! Sure hope nothing bad happens to him!

Comment by Lostsinclair

The art is incredible as usual but there's something odd about it. Zul'jan is the antagonist yet he's in the traditional small hero spot while his sister is in the villain's looming over the background spot flanked by the big baddie of the entire patch... Can't help but wonder if there was some switchup in the storyline at some point looking at this.

Nah, snake raid. That's thrill for poison danger and badass.

Boring patch

Love the dynamic between Zuljarra and Zuljan.

Comment by Corpselance

Love the poison/venom/snake vibe but asking me to trade my Elven weaponry for sticks with stones tied to them is pretty wild.

#$%^ty key art, honestly.

Comment by Arudebaran

What I've never understood about Blizzard is why they give so much weight to a filler patch, instead of continuing to strengthen the game's lore. They always do the same thing! Instead of properly developing their main characters... we're stuck with weak storylines and the power of friendship.

Boring patch

I always have fun the first couple weeks with a new zone but I will admit, more often than not the previews never really hype me up. That and they overstay their welcome, you get tired of the zone long before you are finished with it.

Comment by Xinayder

Just watched the cinematic and this is utter ^&*! IMO. Zul'jan unleashes Ula'tek and thought the could control the power, it was way over his expectations and he regrets it from the start, and you could even see before this patch he was regretting going to the forbidden isle. This is some Disney level writing, can't even have an antagonist or villain that feels like a villain. Like, he doesn't have the personality of a villain. His actions defying his sister in the early Midnight days were way more interesting than what we see now.

Please bring back more War to Warcraft.

Sure glad we haven't had any female villains and male heroes lately, that'd shatter this narrative!
