Taliesin and EvitelThe Weekly Reset
World of Warcraft patch 12.1 launches into Season 2! Curse of Ula'tek mythic+, Nemesis delve, and of course, the Venomous Abyss raid! And the raid ending cinematic with the fate of Zul'jan has got players talking, and not really in an especially friendly way. Taliesin does a mini cinematic analysis and explains why so much of the community is so upset with the raid ending, and Evitel trawls through all the bugs, nerfs, and updates in the News Rundown.

Comment by Kilgharrah96*Grabs Popcorn* 🍿Comment by NinjaFlibbleI don't like the end* of Zul'jan's story either, but people are always angry...Comment by TurtlefromafarDidn't watch. Will comment. Bugs bugs bugs and bugs. Did I say bugs? Oh yeah and bugs. ion says most QA team ever meanwhile more bugs than ever. Idk if it's corporate talk or what but 2 and 2 do not go together.Comment by TiwunoI wouldn't say 12.1 has been particularly good or bad so far... it's just been kind of 'meh'. But then again, I'm not part of the world first race, so those complaints are probably 100% valid.Comment by TenathBugs, mediocre storytelling, etcetera...Comment by sgtwickedI don't like the end* of Zul'jan's story either, but people are always angry...Comment by zulefYou know its bad when T&E are critical of BlizzardComment by SchattensangI don't like the end* of Zul'jan's story either, but people are always angry...Comment by JoeLigmaboooooo... fuuk these terrible people... booooooooComment by selkiesidheI do like that in the end, Jan was manipulated instead of him just "going crazy" or simply being a jerk. So there's that, I guess...

Since I don't do content anymore, I ran this on story mode-- is Jan's death scene really the only scene we get from all this? We kill Malacrass and Big Snek Thing and it just dies, the end? Felt very lackluster.Comment by BlaireDawnstarI personally don't get why people are upset about zuljan, awful one dimensional character we didn't get enough time with to even mourn.Comment by BurntToastDidn't watch.

There is no other word to describe.Comment by TezcatlipocaBecause 12.1 is just full of awful content across the board?Comment by CorpselanceThey spent so many videos saying they would never stoop to Bellular levels, only to become just as bad as him.Comment by AradrothI personally don't get why people are upset about zuljan, awful one dimensional character we didn't get enough time with to even mourn.
