Nah you’re not alone. This video was great. I’m critical of blizzards writing. But I’m still very excited to see where the game is headed. I’ve been playing on and off since 2004. I love the state of the game at the moment.
Same! I recently got Exploring for Azeroth Islands & Isles, which sent me down a rabbithole of reading up the progress of Lor'themar and Thalyssra's relationship cos I frankly missed the Legion expansion and so I never caught onto the whole storyline with Thalyssra. I'm partially excited with Midnight because it's Silvermoon-focused, which means it's Lor'themar focused, which hopefully means something for the two of them or for Nightborne and Blood Elves as a whole. I'm invested! Night Elves are whatever, mainly their story is either they get fucked, they get angry, and they get fucked worse, and it's a miracle they finally got a 'win'. And Tyrande and Malfurion as they currently are just aren't compelling to me. If there's gonna be a unified elf nation, I seriously don't know how that's gonna be handled without a complete removal of the faction system or turning all elves into a neutral faction, which would be weird to say the least.
@@GillikpalI recently went through Silvermoon to head to the best egg farming spot for the Christmas Santa quest, and man, the Capital really needs that revamp. The funny thing is how it being empty is prolly really lore accurate considering how few Blood Elves there should be.
@@damer50 For fucking real dude! Look, I honestly think SL was dope overall, and I loved Zovaal, and the Jailer is 100% The Primus, and not Zovaal, but they fucked up Arthas, Ner'zhul, AND the Kael x Lorth'emar plotlines HAAAAAARD. Danusers was great at minor storylines, but was horrible at overarching storylines. We thank him for the N'zoth and Il'gynoth lines, but he really fucked SL over by not revealing The Primus was the Jailer all along. I know the community is too stupid to pick up on the intricacies, but he should've just spelled it out in the end.

WoW's lore would've NEVER dipped from the quality of Legion. But that's all thanks to corporate Activision and their bs anti-consumer mindset. There's a timeline where Blizzard never gad outside influence, unfortunately it's not ours. :/
@@monkeysk8er33 They should absolutely reintroduce Denathrius in Midnight as a subplot, and they can use Kael'thas and Lady Vashj as envoys from the Shadowlands assigned to hunt him down. Then in TLT they can have us close some of the Shadowlands loose ends while we're in Northrend and use Denathrius to set up the true Pantheon of Disorder for future storylines.
@SuzakuX So fucking down for that dude. That would be perfect actually! I think Metzen loves Denathrius, I mean, who wouldn't? He oozes evil and dread. He might take issue with the Dreadlord recontextualization, but he's gonna have to accept that it's cannon now. I personally love their updated origin, and think it makes them far cooler than what they were when they were merely demons.
This is exactly, what could be a game changer. Atleast make the game and old zones interesting again. Using old cities for both factions would be so cool. Imagine playing in old cities again such as Gilneas, Silvermoon City, Undercity, Shattrath..... etc. Both old continents have some much potential with so many interesting zones and places. But yeah, Blizzard rather makes these new joke island zones, that nobody gives a fk about.
I'm just expecting what they said. Updated Blood Elf zones. If they're well received, maybe we'll see a couple zones get updated over time. I wouldn't mind future expansions including an updated "vanilla" zone every once in a while to help connect and update the world at the same time. One at a time would also kind of cure the problem of the whole world feeling stuck in a specific real world year (2010 for most of the old world zones. Classic exists, so Cata zones will probably be available
I really, really hope that Elune will have a huge impact on midnight. The oldest goddess in lore, associated with the night, moon and stars, has recently been portrayed as too focused only on nature and life.
I wouldn't doubt if this happens at the end of this expansion. I still believe that Beladar is going to shift to full void by the end of TWW, allowing Xal'atath to open a portal between Azeroth and Kaaresh. That's going to be how the Void forces get to Azeroth to assault the Sunwell. It's going to be like what the Tomb of Sargeras was for Fel, or what they'd tried to turn both the Well of Eternity and Sunwell into ... only it's going to be MASSIVELY larger. A huge, Beledar-sized void portal in the sky, allowing the void to mount a full, uninterrupted invasion on Azeroth, all of whom are going after the Sunwell.
Sunwell Plateau will probably be redone as a raid in the expansion as well, that'd be interesting and tie into the expansion perfectly. Isle of Quel'Danas could be the patch zone as well. Great way to repurpose old areas for new content.
I agree with that, it was a beautiful raid and very few people actually got to see it. We killed a few bosses in there, but only after we had cleared Black Temple and that wasn't easy back in the day. I'm sure more people got to see it in classic than actually got to play it at the time.
I really hope Blood Elves finally get some spotlight and it's not just them being pushed aside for the "Alliance-only-High-Elves' and the Vereesa + Alleria to take all the glory from them. God, I really really hope the Horde don't get shafted more than they already have for hero moments in the major storylines.
I've been clean from WoW since December 2018 That's 6+ years clean. I live a normal and happy life now. I wish everybody who's still addicted a quick and lasting recovery.
@@liamdavies2823 not playing it though. I haven't since a short time during last exp, but I still watch these channels because I never stopped loving the world as a fiction.
I can hardly wait for the prepatch event to take place in Quel'thalas, then for the entire expansion to take place in some brand new location we've never heard of before, helping Cute Tribe of a Dozen Glossy-Eyed Anthropomorphic Disney Lemurs spouting nothing but marvel humor overthrow Newly Introduced Oppressive Empire With No Prior Mention in the Lore #68,957, while we get to read about all the totally super cool stuff happening in Quel'thalas via a mission table.
In my head canon, Mike and Matt had a massive argument about the relative merits of Deep Space Nine and Metaphor: ReFantazio and that's why there are no more livestreams.
Small addendum on Blood Elf Paladins - the Blood Knights never REALLY "sucked the Light from the Naaru", the Naaru in Question deliberately made them believe they did, but gave up its power willingly. "However, they were mistaken in their assumption that the naaru had been broken: events had been set in motion beyond their control, and M'uru had, in fact, feigned recalcitrance and willingly granted the Blood Knights his power in preparation for a long-set reckoning to come."
If you were there at the start of vanilla and early TBC, you saw the changes come in, where slowly the horde's story slowly descended into being whiny SJW-style victims rather than bloodthirsty conquerors. What you're describing was one of those changes. Some one came in after the fact and wrote that garbage, and it really set the tone for the following years of the horde acting like the cucks that we have today.
I just can’t get excited about the lore anymore. I know it’s done to death but shadowlands did such massive, wide sweeping and irreversible damage to the lore that it’s hard to get invested in any of it anymore. Been playing a lot of classic lately and it’s insane how good the low fantasy approach for everything is.
If you haven’t already, I recommend Jediwarlock’s channel if you want lore explorations for solely classic. He does exploration, lore and theories, with new gems you might not know of. Sorry to read you’re not feeling Retail but hey, it is absolutely fine to be burnt out and prefer other pastures. Don’t feel pressured to keep up with Bellular’s channel. Feel free to look into others that capture your actual focus!
I said yesterday that I actually don’t plan on buying Midnight and I’ll just stick to Classic for a bit, maybe a year, but then I might be done forever with WoW. Shadowlands 100% killed any care I ever had for the lore, and Dragonflight and the War Within just hit on things I’ve never cared about. Midnight is a step in the right direction but way too little wayyyy too late. Literally MMOs like Wizard 101 have had player housing since their early days. WoW has never had an excuse to not do it properly. This convoluted lore makes no sense anymore and neither do the devs.
You know, ive had argument with people, still to this day, that belive blood elf are called blood elf because they joined the horde.. not because in a single day, the day silvermoon fell, the high elf went from a couple of tens of thousands of elf to not even 1000 total. Its from kaelthas himself in wc3, the frozen throne nelf campaign
Honestly their canonically low population could lead to them merging with Nightborne as a single nation. They have similar Highborne-like cultures except for the Sunwell (which is prolly gonna be Void corrupted so RIP Sunwell) changing their skintone; and ofc their racial leaders are both married and more than likely going to have a Nightborne/Blood Elf mixed kid by Midnight. If for the overall survival of both they merge, it’ll be pretty symbolic.
From the day of Blizzcon and hearing about a revamped Silvermoon I’ve been super excited for it. Add player housing and I lost it. But the delicious incoming lore (and potential Sylvanas re-appearance, conceivably with her brother Lirath), it may be my favourite expansion ever. Or my most hated. 😂
If you don't have a channel dedicated to wow lore you definitely should! I would love to just dive off into the wow lore from start to finish how you tell it.
It amazes me how many people immediately pounce when a content creator makes a hopeful positive video. Why are you playing the game if you’re so jaded by the negative you can’t enjoy the positive? Thank you for this vid I’m looking forward to some new lore. Let’s see what the writing team can do!
Hate playing. It's like hate watching a series that fucked up over time. You don't even like it anymore. You just want to see how it ends and that's that.
The game is what it is, and I have a lot of history in it that makes me want to give a chance even if its not always the best game out there. In terms of Belluar though, he follows a cycle... He's super positive about the game, then in two weeks time he goes into damage control mode for the game and its issues, then two weeks after that he tells blizzard they're in trouble and then two weeks after that he says its their final chance to fix something and then two weeks after that it's another hype video where everything is looking the best its ever been.
Fucking yes! There's something off with her current model. I think it's a lack of sex appeal. She already was a badass, and I think she generally still is, but she's dressed quite... Modest.
@@stephiec4062They shouldn't have brought Alleria back just to be Mrs Void. Same with Turalyon. The return of these characters was written so poorly it boggles the mind. Mr light and Mrs. Void who've been battling space demons for a thousand years even tho they were only gone for like 30. So damn lame
6:22 I know it’s unlikely in a world where FFXIV exists, but I’ve always wanted an expansion where we travel to one of Azeroth’s moons. I wonder if “the Fall of Night” and “she will show her true face” might actually be referring to The White Lady…
For five expansions straight this story has been revolving around this tiny cast of humans and elves taking turns in getting posessed and then freed. Blizzard can only tell one story.
@@aligh6375 OH NOES, the "colorful thing" has corrupted the area! And a lore character we kinda know is now infused with it! Will they be friend or foe? Find out in the obligatory island with daily tasks and time-gated 30 minute total storyline! Time gated over 4-5 months! So we can maximize subscription profits! Also, meet our new character friend, who's a female human for the 6th time, yes a female human, for the 6th time, in a fantasy world with over 50 races, we, the writers, have made a new, female, HUMAN, character to lead you on your journey! Hoooray! Yippie!
Still can. It's not over. And the final expac of the trilogy is called The Last Titan. There can't be a Last Titan unless Sargeras or Azeroth dies. So I'm thinking Sargeras is going to redeem himself which means Illidan is coming back.
@@GuruGodPlaysI don’t want to fight by his side. The people of Azeroth should want nothing to do with him at all. Sylvanas killed what… a few million? People say that’s too much to ever want her to get a redemption arc. Sargeras is FAR worse. He needs to be put down. We will NEVER be safe so long as he is capable of influencing the outcome of our lives.
@@mattphoenix4702Go stab and cast spells at his big toe then lol, we don’t really have a choice in the matter when he can literally stab the core of our planet with his sword. The scale is just too bad
Damnit. I thought I was done with World of Warcraft and I can already feel it pulling me back in. The fact that I watched this video with a stupid grin is a clear sign that I'm compelled, yet again, to resurrect my account.
Would love to see a confrontation between Azshara and the leaders of all the elves descendants such as Lorthemar , Thalyssra , Vereesa , Alleria , Tyrande etc like all of them basically meeting their progenitor o creator since they would all be there thanks to her actions in someway or another
WOW has way too many inconsistancies in lore and power, not the least of which is their timeline. Imagine a world where in the last 15 years, after defeating an world sized undead invasion, you've also dealt with the awakening of an earth shattering dragon, fighting elemental lords, discovering Pandaria and stopping the heart of an Old God, traveling to an alternate timeline and sorting out an entire planet, killing an Archimond (again), an invasion of demonic proportions and the discovery of yet another island continent, adding several allied races, defeating an archwarlock, discovering azerite, discovering yet another island continent, recuting more allied races, fighting a world war, being sucked into the depths of the ocean, fighting the leader of the fish people, fighting a fully fleshed Old God (again), going to the land of the dead, discovering several continents in the land of the dead, defeated several small badies and one big bad nipple-bot boss, returning to the land of the living, discovering the land of the dragons, recruting more allied friends, chasing and defeating bad dragons, returning home, discovering another, yeah another new island continent, some stony dwarves, fighting a bunch of spider people... And I'm summarizing, imagine the mental gymnastics of the people at Blizz to think this sounds like a viable 15 year timeline
It always baffled me that Blizzard went with "hey, you know these events that took two years to play through, and which would have taken far longer if actual armies were being moved across continents? Actually, in-world that stuff only took a year or less!"
Feels like a chill decade compared to the average DC / Marvel comics timeline, tbh. WoW is at its core high fantasy american comics, even the art style is reminiscent of it, get on board. ;)
@@dragovianknightBlizzard can't come up with any good original characters. They still heavily rely on WC3 characters to drive the story. Jumping 5-10 years per wow expansion would make sense storywise, pushing the narrative forwards, but they'd have to come up with new, good characters to replace the older ones.
It is absolutely mind boggling to say that time gated events that we played through and celebrated multiple holidays throughout only took place over the course of a few months to a year. Cheapened everything for me
If a "radiant song" is just a World Soul calling out to you. And if K'aresh had one before being consumed. Does that mean the Void already has a void titan?!
Revamping Queltalas and most likely the Island of Queldanas, is a good opportunity to introduce Spell Breaker as a hero class; make it a tank and dps class.
I wish I had any good faith left to give to Bizz. Mechanically, there were some fun things about this xpac. Had they been in one of the earlier, far better, xpacs I probably would have enjoyed said xpacs more. Instead they got attached to TWW, which is just a long running reminder that Blizz has basically merced ALL of their games for the sake of profits.
The classes/specs have been fun to try out. I have little faith the current dev team can produce anything not just OK. The only thing keeping me subbed is classic tbh.
The best way in my opinion to facilitate the changes, we fail to stop the void from happening at the end of this expansion, ending up all of azeroth being permanently altered. during the day we fight Light Enhanced Enemies. during the Dark the Void takes over, voiding & enhancing the same mobs with voidpowers and voidlooks. wich in turn alows us to get lighted gear/spells during the day and voided gear/spells during the evening/night. Wich in turn we kinda get a sort of Permanent Pre-Release Event, but then all over azeroth. Offcourse this is just my opinion. But i think it would be a welcoming change in my eyes :D
Midnight is going to be huge, a lot of things tie up together so nicely, don't forget about Arathor, who is essentially a "child of light and void", I bet he will have a big role in Midnight. I do hope we get we get ethereals as a playable race and perhaps even a new class, or at a very least a new spec for the demon hunter, either light or void themed.
My theory for midnight is that Xalatath is going to destroy the sun to pledge Azeroth into darkness. It would be similar to Beledar’s phase shift or like how Argus was in the sky that one patch
@@Paul2hip8 cutting azeroth off from the godlike forces of Anshe (the sun as the Tauren call it) and Elune the moon is probably going to be the key part of midnight and is likely what the dark heart is actually for. Just not sure how. All i can say is that it feasts pretty strictly on void and arcane energy, likely because Neltharion designed it to attempt to contain the void and failed.
It would be nice to see Silvermoon receive a revamp. It's so old at this point, it feels utterly abandoned and outdated. It would be nice to be able to fly inside the city.
I remained very pumped for every new piece of content this expac has to offer and a HUGE part of that excitement comes from my ability to immerse myself in the lore, thanks to your content. Even the siren isles have been fun, thanks to the way you explained their significance. Thank you so much man for doing what you do! The only negative is wishing I had more time to level and play more alts! So I can feel closer to the main storyline 😅 I feel like I should be playing a human or blood elf paladin, or a void elf hunter! Instead I’m playing a dwarf mage. Anyways, thanks again. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
I think you're missing a few key points. They're specifically pulling ARCANE and LIGHT and they are VOID. You mentioned how the Sunwell is tied to arcane and light specifically, but didn't mention the Nightwell which is effectively arcane and void and sits on massive ley lines that work as conduits for magical energy in universe. It's possible Beledar is embedded in a massive ley line that ties the Sunwell and the Nightwell together which would also help explain why it fluctuates between the two forms and makes it so incredibly important. If we treat ley lines as if they're the literal veins of Azeroth, as that's where the "blood of Azeroth" or Azerite was flowing from which is also arcane. Just some things to consider.
The Nightwell isn't void related though. It's just pure arcane. It may share some aesthetic staples with void magic but there's no indication they're connected.
The Void and Chaos/Fel magic are enemies, not friends. They don’t get along. There is no void in the Nightwell. If it DID have void power, I seriously doubt the Burning Legion would have been able to do anything with it, and they would have probably just smashed Suramar to make sure it could never be used against them by their enemies
Minor but important correction: Void Gods and Void Lords are different entities. Void Gods are Naaru that have converted to the Void. Void Lords are who you're talking about in this video, the "Pantheon" of the Void.
Wow then we go to Azshara back in time and see her old kingdom, or she gets to restore it by stealing the sunwell right infront of Xa'latat. It would be amazing to visit Zin-Ashari
I keep imagining, although people aren’t big fans of Draenor, there was that part of the story when the orcs of Draenor became an allied race. We see that the Light was conquering the planet, led by Yrel. I wonder if she could appear in the war, perhaps as an enemy of the Dark Lords, maybe even a Garrosh Paladin, since the Garrosh from Draenor could have been recruited!
Garrosh was never born in that timeline. Grom's wife, Golka, was killed before we even got to WoD's events. The events of that Draenor, even before our involvement, were not the same. Large-scale, they matched similar story beats, but the details are very different. Example: Thrall was never born, despite his parents both being alive and present. Instead, they had a daughter. As it stands, the orcs who had "joined" Yrel's Army of the Light, were very much forced-conscription (similar to the attempt made on Illidan). But, that Army is bound to that world. They had no way off-world (unless they can fix Oshu'gun, the only crashed ship on Draenor), to join a greater force (ie: that universe's Army of the Light, if it even exists). And they likely do not have the means to replicate the Dark Portal in any capacity, as there were few orcs who knew, we killed them all, and we sealed what connections we had with that world after the Mag'Har Orc rescue.
We all know about the elves being the center of Midnight. What I want to know is what they do with the Trolls, specifically the Arathi that are on Silvermoon's doorstep with supposedly an Old God General buried beneath their home. That and Trolls in general. The Haranir are painfully obviously a link between the Trolls and Elves. When they say they will bring all the Elven tribes together does that include the Trolls in any way?
Xal'atath is definitely of the species that are now the Ethereals. She was likely responsible for Dimensius gaining access to their world and was promised some elevation (maybe their world soul to become an Old God?) which wasn't delivered at the time (as she said "what was owed to [me]" or something to that effect). Look at her model, she wears the Ethereal wraps on her arms and legs. As the Harbinger of Dimensius, she absolutely was involved in the destruction of the Ethereal homeworld and world soul.
My only hopes for midnight is that the story has a lot more horde characters, because not only does the war within have a large alliance cast, midnight is set in Quel'thalas, a horde capital, and it should make sense that the horde have a stronger presence than the alliance. Also I am hoping that during the story the horde are able to redefine what the horde is, because they have always been the villain scapegoats during expansions, but now that blizzard has done away with that I strongly believe that the horde need a redefinition. Bonus: we have seen Lor'themar and Thalyssra together only ONCE during the beginning of dragonflight and I will be DAMNED if I don't get my cute couple interactions since midnight is set IN THEIR CITY.
The Sunwell was holy magic before Velen came along because it spent several years on the run from Darkhan and his cronies in the guise of a human thanks to Krasus. Learning to be human from the only actual human around, the paladin Jorad Mace. That's why when she breaks free in the final phase of the Kil'jaeden encounter, he takes massive bonus damage from holy spells.
I want them to write them two together, he's obviously giving her the eyes and a good woman will finally get rid of the last of that boyishness he's caring around.
@Diolur Just because making the game system takes them 20 years doesn't mean they can't have a planned out story for that far into the future. Each expansion could be fit into a relatively short book as far as the in-game story is considered. Also it might be hard but isn't it literally the writer's job?
@@Tanandrum It doesn't really make sense to build a storyline that early in an online game. Take Draenor, for example, people didn't like it, so they had to rush the expansion. It would be much harder with a strict storyline. Not to mention that no one knew the game would be so successful from the start.
Bellular yesterday: today I hate blizzard they are the worst company who refuses to listen and change! Bellular today: I really like the direction blizzard is going :)
I only hope Quel'thalas restoration won't last just for a while until void will destroy it... again. I love blood elven land and I wish I could keep it as a great place just to sit, chill and admire views. Happy New Year 🎉
I hope we don’t go to Kareesh in the War Within. 11.2 is another opportunity to go deeper inside Azeroth, to explore the inside of the planet some more before we go to the surface again. Kaaresh seems like an ideal place to go in Midnight…
I feel like with the sheer amount of magical energy stored in the dark heart the destruction of it was in eventful especially if it's a super weapon like it should have had a nuclear level explosion and leveled that part of hallow fall and fucking wrecked everyone there
I really hope the Protectorate makes an appearance again. It would be really disappointing if the Ethereal faction from TBC that was made explicitly to fight the void was not in an expansion about fighting against the void.

@@kyleganse4978 or the nightwell. Either way, the elf reckoning is coming.
I wouldn't doubt if this happens at the end of this expansion. I still believe that Beladar is going to shift to full void by the end of TWW, allowing Xal'atath to open a portal between Azeroth and Kaaresh. That's going to be how the Void forces get to Azeroth to assault the Sunwell. It's going to be like what the Tomb of Sargeras was for Fel, or what they'd tried to turn both the Well of Eternity and Sunwell into ... only it's going to be MASSIVELY larger. A huge, Beledar-sized void portal in the sky, allowing the void to mount a full, uninterrupted invasion on Azeroth, all of whom are going after the Sunwell.
And this is why i don't have to remember all that quest text. Fantastic job!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 😊
bro no spoilers, you re at least 8 hours ahead
@jore5725 hahahahaha my bad. 😆👍
Sunwell Plateau will probably be redone as a raid in the expansion as well, that'd be interesting and tie into the expansion perfectly. Isle of Quel'Danas could be the patch zone as well. Great way to repurpose old areas for new content.
I agree with that, it was a beautiful raid and very few people actually got to see it. We killed a few bosses in there, but only after we had cleared Black Temple and that wasn't easy back in the day. I'm sure more people got to see it in classic than actually got to play it at the time.
I really hope Blood Elves finally get some spotlight and it's not just them being pushed aside for the "Alliance-only-High-Elves' and the Vereesa + Alleria to take all the glory from them.
God, I really really hope the Horde don't get shafted more than they already have for hero moments in the major storylines.
I've been clean from WoW since December 2018
That's 6+ years clean. I live a normal and happy life now. I wish everybody who's still addicted a quick and lasting recovery.
you're still sat watching videos about it though
Still watching videos about a game you don't play while looking down at others who still play as "addicts". Mental illness
@@liamdavies2823 not playing it though. I haven't since a short time during last exp, but I still watch these channels because I never stopped loving the world as a fiction.
I can hardly wait for the prepatch event to take place in Quel'thalas, then for the entire expansion to take place in some brand new location we've never heard of before, helping Cute Tribe of a Dozen Glossy-Eyed Anthropomorphic Disney Lemurs spouting nothing but marvel humor overthrow Newly Introduced Oppressive Empire With No Prior Mention in the Lore #68,957, while we get to read about all the totally super cool stuff happening in Quel'thalas via a mission table.
Accurate
I wonder if Suramar will be any inspiration for theme. I was away during Legion, and I really liked the quests.
I hope because man that city was beautiful.
In my head canon, Mike and Matt had a massive argument about the relative merits of Deep Space Nine and Metaphor: ReFantazio and that's why there are no more livestreams.

Small addendum on Blood Elf Paladins - the Blood Knights never REALLY "sucked the Light from the Naaru", the Naaru in Question deliberately made them believe they did, but gave up its power willingly.
"However, they were mistaken in their assumption that the naaru had been broken: events had been set in motion beyond their control, and M'uru had, in fact, feigned recalcitrance and willingly granted the Blood Knights his power in preparation for a long-set reckoning to come."
If you were there at the start of vanilla and early TBC, you saw the changes come in, where slowly the horde's story slowly descended into being whiny SJW-style victims rather than bloodthirsty conquerors. What you're describing was one of those changes. Some one came in after the fact and wrote that garbage, and it really set the tone for the following years of the horde acting like the cucks that we have today.
8:43 If you or a loved one is experiencing "horn fire" you may be entitled to compensation.
Happy New Year Michael
I just can’t get excited about the lore anymore. I know it’s done to death but shadowlands did such massive, wide sweeping and irreversible damage to the lore that it’s hard to get invested in any of it anymore. Been playing a lot of classic lately and it’s insane how good the low fantasy approach for everything is.
If you haven’t already, I recommend Jediwarlock’s channel if you want lore explorations for solely classic.
He does exploration, lore and theories, with new gems you might not know of.
Sorry to read you’re not feeling Retail but hey, it is absolutely fine to be burnt out and prefer other pastures.
Don’t feel pressured to keep up with Bellular’s channel. Feel free to look into others that capture your actual focus!
@@LDaemontusI’ll check it out, thanks!
I said yesterday that I actually don’t plan on buying Midnight and I’ll just stick to Classic for a bit, maybe a year, but then I might be done forever with WoW. Shadowlands 100% killed any care I ever had for the lore, and Dragonflight and the War Within just hit on things I’ve never cared about. Midnight is a step in the right direction but way too little wayyyy too late. Literally MMOs like Wizard 101 have had player housing since their early days. WoW has never had an excuse to not do it properly. This convoluted lore makes no sense anymore and neither do the devs.
Join the growing group of people that want Metzen to take the story a different direction after Wrath classic happens (again)
The war within so far has been good @@tetra_tinuviel
You know, ive had argument with people, still to this day, that belive blood elf are called blood elf because they joined the horde.. not because in a single day, the day silvermoon fell, the high elf went from a couple of tens of thousands of elf to not even 1000 total. Its from kaelthas himself in wc3, the frozen throne nelf campaign
Honestly their canonically low population could lead to them merging with Nightborne as a single nation. They have similar Highborne-like cultures except for the Sunwell (which is prolly gonna be Void corrupted so RIP Sunwell) changing their skintone; and ofc their racial leaders are both married and more than likely going to have a Nightborne/Blood Elf mixed kid by Midnight. If for the overall survival of both they merge, it’ll be pretty symbolic.
From the day of Blizzcon and hearing about a revamped Silvermoon I’ve been super excited for it. Add player housing and I lost it. But the delicious incoming lore (and potential Sylvanas re-appearance, conceivably with her brother Lirath), it may be my favourite expansion ever. Or my most hated. 😂
If you don't have a channel dedicated to wow lore you definitely should! I would love to just dive off into the wow lore from start to finish how you tell it.
Excellent stuff good Sir. Thank you.
It amazes me how many people immediately pounce when a content creator makes a hopeful positive video. Why are you playing the game if you’re so jaded by the negative you can’t enjoy the positive? Thank you for this vid I’m looking forward to some new lore. Let’s see what the writing team can do!
Hate playing. It's like hate watching a series that fucked up over time. You don't even like it anymore. You just want to see how it ends and that's that.
The game is what it is, and I have a lot of history in it that makes me want to give a chance even if its not always the best game out there.
In terms of Belluar though, he follows a cycle... He's super positive about the game, then in two weeks time he goes into damage control mode for the game and its issues, then two weeks after that he tells blizzard they're in trouble and then two weeks after that he says its their final chance to fix something and then two weeks after that it's another hype video where everything is looking the best its ever been.
@@frostmagemarii hahaha this is exactly what i was thinking, love the game or not, the guy sticks to a very predictable content style.
@@NostraDavid2 you clearly havnt been watching very long then this channel has done this to itself
Not playing anymore, but wow stuff keeps showing up in my feed. They lost me when they started giving “equal representation” to child groomers.
12.0 = 12:00 = Midnight
Midnight would be patch 0.0 so this is actually going to be the Lunchtime expansion.
Well 00:00 is also midnight ☝️
Alleria's Legion model was so much better than her new one 🙄
Fucking yes! There's something off with her current model. I think it's a lack of sex appeal. She already was a badass, and I think she generally still is, but she's dressed quite... Modest.
She looks old in the current one if you zoom into her face.
She used to look like a high fantasy elven forest ranger. Now she looks like a trashy middle-aged Karen that smokes too many cigarettes.
@@stephiec4062They shouldn't have brought Alleria back just to be Mrs Void. Same with Turalyon. The return of these characters was written so poorly it boggles the mind.
Mr light and Mrs. Void who've been battling space demons for a thousand years even tho they were only gone for like 30. So damn lame
Idk I fw her new model more than her old one. Tbh it has more sex appeal than her previous one but that's just me
6:22 I know it’s unlikely in a world where FFXIV exists, but I’ve always wanted an expansion where we travel to one of Azeroth’s moons. I wonder if “the Fall of Night” and “she will show her true face” might actually be referring to The White Lady…
For five expansions straight this story has been revolving around this tiny cast of humans and elves taking turns in getting posessed and then freed. Blizzard can only tell one story.
Too funny, but you are correct!😂😂😂😂
No
You forgot the plot in which energy corrupts the flora and fauna of certain location
@@aligh6375 OH NOES, the "colorful thing" has corrupted the area! And a lore character we kinda know is now infused with it! Will they be friend or foe? Find out in the obligatory island with daily tasks and time-gated 30 minute total storyline! Time gated over 4-5 months! So we can maximize subscription profits!
Also, meet our new character friend, who's a female human for the 6th time, yes a female human, for the 6th time, in a fantasy world with over 50 races, we, the writers, have made a new, female, HUMAN, character to lead you on your journey! Hoooray! Yippie!
For how complicated this all is, this video was really easy to follow!
I mean it was iconic that Illidan chose his own path, but ngl it woulda been dope to see the redeemed lightforged illidan
Still can. It's not over. And the final expac of the trilogy is called The Last Titan.
There can't be a Last Titan unless Sargeras or Azeroth dies.
So I'm thinking Sargeras is going to redeem himself which means Illidan is coming back.
@@NikolasRage sargeras is the redeemed one. Hes the only cosmic being with free will except Azeroth.
@@Bio-Logical-Ai i feel like he's gonna choose that path for final titan once he's finished getting sargeras on our side.
@@GuruGodPlaysI don’t want to fight by his side. The people of Azeroth should want nothing to do with him at all. Sylvanas killed what… a few million? People say that’s too much to ever want her to get a redemption arc.
Sargeras is FAR worse. He needs to be put down. We will NEVER be safe so long as he is capable of influencing the outcome of our lives.
@@mattphoenix4702Go stab and cast spells at his big toe then lol, we don’t really have a choice in the matter when he can literally stab the core of our planet with his sword. The scale is just too bad
Damnit. I thought I was done with World of Warcraft and I can already feel it pulling me back in. The fact that I watched this video with a stupid grin is a clear sign that I'm compelled, yet again, to resurrect my account.
Your amazing Bellular thank you so much for piecing everything together!!! 🎉
Would love to see a confrontation between Azshara and the leaders of all the elves descendants such as Lorthemar , Thalyssra , Vereesa , Alleria , Tyrande etc like all of them basically meeting their progenitor o creator since they would all be there thanks to her actions in someway or another
WOW has way too many inconsistancies in lore and power, not the least of which is their timeline.
Imagine a world where in the last 15 years, after defeating an world sized undead invasion, you've also dealt with the awakening of an earth shattering dragon, fighting elemental lords, discovering Pandaria and stopping the heart of an Old God, traveling to an alternate timeline and sorting out an entire planet, killing an Archimond (again), an invasion of demonic proportions and the discovery of yet another island continent, adding several allied races, defeating an archwarlock, discovering azerite, discovering yet another island continent, recuting more allied races, fighting a world war, being sucked into the depths of the ocean, fighting the leader of the fish people, fighting a fully fleshed Old God (again), going to the land of the dead, discovering several continents in the land of the dead, defeated several small badies and one big bad nipple-bot boss, returning to the land of the living, discovering the land of the dragons, recruting more allied friends, chasing and defeating bad dragons, returning home, discovering another, yeah another new island continent, some stony dwarves, fighting a bunch of spider people...
And I'm summarizing, imagine the mental gymnastics of the people at Blizz to think this sounds like a viable 15 year timeline
Hey! At least you know the Horde and Alliance women be busy mothers. Gotta keep that army fully manned.
It always baffled me that Blizzard went with "hey, you know these events that took two years to play through, and which would have taken far longer if actual armies were being moved across continents? Actually, in-world that stuff only took a year or less!"
Feels like a chill decade compared to the average DC / Marvel comics timeline, tbh. WoW is at its core high fantasy american comics, even the art style is reminiscent of it, get on board. ;)
@@dragovianknightBlizzard can't come up with any good original characters. They still heavily rely on WC3 characters to drive the story. Jumping 5-10 years per wow expansion would make sense storywise, pushing the narrative forwards, but they'd have to come up with new, good characters to replace the older ones.
It is absolutely mind boggling to say that time gated events that we played through and celebrated multiple holidays throughout only took place over the course of a few months to a year. Cheapened everything for me
I loved horrific visions. Was so excited to get the mail muncher
If a "radiant song" is just a World Soul calling out to you. And if K'aresh had one before being consumed. Does that mean the Void already has a void titan?!
I would guess that's just what Void Lords are.
Promising stuff in the future personally im hyped for midnight 🤗
The lore work you guys do is actually insane lol gj
Something something giant sword plunged into the dark God's heart, the end.
New years lore video, wooooooooo !
Revamping Queltalas and most likely the Island of Queldanas, is a good opportunity to introduce Spell Breaker as a hero class; make it a tank and dps class.
I wish they put some Void hero class for Midnight, possibly with a melee spec...
Along with Ethereals of course
Massive fumble if they don't
I wish I had any good faith left to give to Bizz. Mechanically, there were some fun things about this xpac. Had they been in one of the earlier, far better, xpacs I probably would have enjoyed said xpacs more. Instead they got attached to TWW, which is just a long running reminder that Blizz has basically merced ALL of their games for the sake of profits.
The classes/specs have been fun to try out. I have little faith the current dev team can produce anything not just OK. The only thing keeping me subbed is classic tbh.
The best way in my opinion to facilitate the changes, we fail to stop the void from happening at the end of this expansion, ending up all of azeroth being permanently altered. during the day we fight Light Enhanced Enemies. during the Dark the Void takes over, voiding & enhancing the same mobs with voidpowers and voidlooks. wich in turn alows us to get lighted gear/spells during the day and voided gear/spells during the evening/night.
Wich in turn we kinda get a sort of Permanent Pre-Release Event, but then all over azeroth.
Offcourse this is just my opinion.
But i think it would be a welcoming change in my eyes :D
Pretty crazy we are getting a Big Event that has an actual name instead of just being The Capitalized Noun.
Less new boring characters, more old characters doing cool stuff
you assume the current writers know anything about warcraft past the surface level fan-fiction based off of social media head canons.
20th anniversary patch looked huge, siren isle looked huge.....midnight looks huge...I ain't failing for this bait.
I always just take a month of game time if I want to play these days. It really does get stale fast
Ty , love the lore videos!
Midnight is going to be huge, a lot of things tie up together so nicely, don't forget about Arathor, who is essentially a "child of light and void", I bet he will have a big role in Midnight. I do hope we get we get ethereals as a playable race and perhaps even a new class, or at a very least a new spec for the demon hunter, either light or void themed.
My theory for midnight is that Xalatath is going to destroy the sun to pledge Azeroth into darkness. It would be similar to Beledar’s phase shift or like how Argus was in the sky that one patch
She'll probably end up being the final boss of a redone Sunwell Plateau raid, and then destroying it and getting away after we "defeat her".
@@Paul2hip8 cutting azeroth off from the godlike forces of Anshe (the sun as the Tauren call it) and Elune the moon is probably going to be the key part of midnight and is likely what the dark heart is actually for. Just not sure how. All i can say is that it feasts pretty strictly on void and arcane energy, likely because Neltharion designed it to attempt to contain the void and failed.
It would be nice to see Silvermoon receive a revamp. It's so old at this point, it feels utterly abandoned and outdated. It would be nice to be able to fly inside the city.
Amazing explanation. Thanks
Metzen wasn't kidding -- this is gonna be some classic Warcraft storytelling!
Very well put together ❤❤❤
I remained very pumped for every new piece of content this expac has to offer and a HUGE part of that excitement comes from my ability to immerse myself in the lore, thanks to your content. Even the siren isles have been fun, thanks to the way you explained their significance. Thank you so much man for doing what you do!
The only negative is wishing I had more time to level and play more alts! So I can feel closer to the main storyline 😅 I feel like I should be playing a human or blood elf paladin, or a void elf hunter! Instead I’m playing a dwarf mage.
Anyways, thanks again. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
I think you're missing a few key points. They're specifically pulling ARCANE and LIGHT and they are VOID. You mentioned how the Sunwell is tied to arcane and light specifically, but didn't mention the Nightwell which is effectively arcane and void and sits on massive ley lines that work as conduits for magical energy in universe. It's possible Beledar is embedded in a massive ley line that ties the Sunwell and the Nightwell together which would also help explain why it fluctuates between the two forms and makes it so incredibly important. If we treat ley lines as if they're the literal veins of Azeroth, as that's where the "blood of Azeroth" or Azerite was flowing from which is also arcane. Just some things to consider.
How is the nightwell connected to the void?
The Nightwell isn't void related though. It's just pure arcane. It may share some aesthetic staples with void magic but there's no indication they're connected.
The Void and Chaos/Fel magic are enemies, not friends. They don’t get along. There is no void in the Nightwell.
If it DID have void power, I seriously doubt the Burning Legion would have been able to do anything with it, and they would have probably just smashed Suramar to make sure it could never be used against them by their enemies
The Nightwell is not Void related at all though..
Though the Nightwell is shut off lacking the stability of The Eye of Aman'thul. Isn't it?
I might come back for midnight. I may show up for the final patch of this expansion.
Minor but important correction: Void Gods and Void Lords are different entities.
Void Gods are Naaru that have converted to the Void.
Void Lords are who you're talking about in this video, the "Pantheon" of the Void.
is fandral staghelm possibly responsible for the hostile actions of the sentinel spies in quel'thalas.
Wow then we go to Azshara back in time and see her old kingdom, or she gets to restore it by stealing the sunwell right infront of Xa'latat. It would be amazing to visit Zin-Ashari
Glad to see you’re still around, Bellular! I wish they would bring it to console, its been so long since I’ve played
I know death knights are "dark paladins" but I'd like to see a paladin spec that is void aligned
Fun fact: the "Ren" part of "Renilash" likely stands for "Void" just like how the Void Elves are Rendorei
If they'd made some massive expanse underground we could have this actually under the Sunwell
As a long time blood elf/blood knight player, I'm really hyped about Midnight.
I knew i spent 20 years yelling "Remember the Sunwell!" for a reason!

I keep imagining, although people aren’t big fans of Draenor, there was that part of the story when the orcs of Draenor became an allied race. We see that the Light was conquering the planet, led by Yrel. I wonder if she could appear in the war, perhaps as an enemy of the Dark Lords, maybe even a Garrosh Paladin, since the Garrosh from Draenor could have been recruited!
Garrosh was never born in that timeline. Grom's wife, Golka, was killed before we even got to WoD's events. The events of that Draenor, even before our involvement, were not the same. Large-scale, they matched similar story beats, but the details are very different. Example: Thrall was never born, despite his parents both being alive and present. Instead, they had a daughter.
As it stands, the orcs who had "joined" Yrel's Army of the Light, were very much forced-conscription (similar to the attempt made on Illidan). But, that Army is bound to that world. They had no way off-world (unless they can fix Oshu'gun, the only crashed ship on Draenor), to join a greater force (ie: that universe's Army of the Light, if it even exists). And they likely do not have the means to replicate the Dark Portal in any capacity, as there were few orcs who knew, we killed them all, and we sealed what connections we had with that world after the Mag'Har Orc rescue.
@@ZeroEdge69he had a son later, and it's implied to be that world's Garry
We all know about the elves being the center of Midnight. What I want to know is what they do with the Trolls, specifically the Arathi that are on Silvermoon's doorstep with supposedly an Old God General buried beneath their home. That and Trolls in general. The Haranir are painfully obviously a link between the Trolls and Elves. When they say they will bring all the Elven tribes together does that include the Trolls in any way?
wait... are we gonna have to pay the full price for each expansion and its yearly too?
on top of a subcription..... ???
You will buy it and you will like it 🗿
@ yeh but i just got my friend to join and pay the price for tww, now this poor pleb will need to pay again
I foresee them uninstalling 😂
Xal'atath is definitely of the species that are now the Ethereals. She was likely responsible for Dimensius gaining access to their world and was promised some elevation (maybe their world soul to become an Old God?) which wasn't delivered at the time (as she said "what was owed to [me]" or something to that effect).
Look at her model, she wears the Ethereal wraps on her arms and legs. As the Harbinger of Dimensius, she absolutely was involved in the destruction of the Ethereal homeworld and world soul.
does anyone else go straight to comments, and while reading you hear a word from the audio at the same exact time youre reading the word in a comment?
Xalatath will use the Dark Heart to corrupt the Sunwell and that will make it into a Void/Arcane well, which is to bring Dimensius into Azeroth.
and void lords.
With a bit of natural fear, i have great expectations of Midnight. It's shaping up to be the best expansion.
My only hopes for midnight is that the story has a lot more horde characters, because not only does the war within have a large alliance cast, midnight is set in Quel'thalas, a horde capital, and it should make sense that the horde have a stronger presence than the alliance. Also I am hoping that during the story the horde are able to redefine what the horde is, because they have always been the villain scapegoats during expansions, but now that blizzard has done away with that I strongly believe that the horde need a redefinition.
Bonus: we have seen Lor'themar and Thalyssra together only ONCE during the beginning of dragonflight and I will be DAMNED if I don't get my cute couple interactions since midnight is set IN THEIR CITY.
Ye might come back for this one
The Sunwell was holy magic before Velen came along because it spent several years on the run from Darkhan and his cronies in the guise of a human thanks to Krasus. Learning to be human from the only actual human around, the paladin Jorad Mace. That's why when she breaks free in the final phase of the Kil'jaeden encounter, he takes massive bonus damage from holy spells.
I want them to write them two together, he's obviously giving her the eyes and a good woman will finally get rid of the last of that boyishness he's caring around.
The Nightfall Sanctum delve is full of Renilash lore too.
Over the laws of light

@@Tanandrum set up stuff 20 years in advance? Sounds logical, sure.
@Diolur Just because making the game system takes them 20 years doesn't mean they can't have a planned out story for that far into the future. Each expansion could be fit into a relatively short book as far as the in-game story is considered.
Also it might be hard but isn't it literally the writer's job?
@@Tanandrum It doesn't really make sense to build a storyline that early in an online game. Take Draenor, for example, people didn't like it, so they had to rush the expansion. It would be much harder with a strict storyline. Not to mention that no one knew the game would be so successful from the start.

I hope we don’t go to Kareesh in the War Within. 11.2 is another opportunity to go deeper inside Azeroth, to explore the inside of the planet some more before we go to the surface again. Kaaresh seems like an ideal place to go in Midnight…
I've been dying for some more blood elf action ever since TBC.
WoW should have more voiced quests.
I feel like with the sheer amount of magical energy stored in the dark heart the destruction of it was in eventful especially if it's a super weapon like it should have had a nuclear level explosion and leveled that part of hallow fall and fucking wrecked everyone there
I really hope the Protectorate makes an appearance again. It would be really disappointing if the Ethereal faction from TBC that was made explicitly to fight the void was not in an expansion about fighting against the void.
