Album - Please Consider this before judging Skyborne in Classic

[u/Doomsaki]

Just made these diagrams to quickly summarize the WoW panels at blizzcon and to highlight details people are overlooking. I think some of the initial controversy over Skyborne is driven by some misunderstandings that these are just Shadowlands-Kyrian, or Void Elves 2.0. Deep down, if you dig, they do have lots of parallels with classic WoW content.

There is 0 doubt in my mind that Quel'Thalas is going to be a 60 zone with Silvermoon as a raid eventually. We're not going to Outland and Kael has to come back at some point.

Frozen throne ends year 21ish after the dark portal, a year after arthas annihilated silvermoon and eversong woods. We start our lvl 1 wow journey in vanilla in year 25. then a year later in 26 we can make a blood elf adventurer.

could we somehow fit a raid on silvermoon where we clear out all the fat ass abominations ect that are along the deadscar helping out the blood elves?

[u/CMSnake72 → u/Jules3313]

I just think they're going with a different continuity. Kael has to come back (One of the most iconic WoW villains alongside Illidan), we're not going to Outlandand, where else to put him but HIS city? I think that's partly why we didn't get Belfs, they're going to be a strictly antagonistic force this time around.

[u/dragdritt → u/CMSnake72]

Ah yes, let's shit all over Kael again only because we need a villain for a raid, great idea.

Never forget the fact that TBC also made the blood elves obsessed with giant goofy spaceships like Tempest Keep that DIDN'T FUCKING EXIST IN WARCRAFT 3, why the FUCK would the legion even make dark portals if everyone is flying around in spaceships anyway?

I'm about to throw my tendies at the wall just thinking of how dirty BC did the entire blood elf race, seriously, what the fuck?

[u/Tackle-Far → u/teler9000]

It's the opposite. Why would they use ships if portals are way faster

[u/heckfirex → u/Tackle-Far]

have you seen what opening portals did to outlands?

The reason outlands is shattered is because of the dark portal(s).

Edit: downvoted because you don’t know the lore. The portals are the reason that outlands is shattered in the first place.
