The other element that adds to the insanity is the fact that players need to wait another week before they can confront the Jailer. The raid is set to begin in WoTLK Gold March (a week after 9.2's release on 22 February) The final three bosses will be unveiled on March 8. This means that it'll take several weeks before players know the conclusion of the story and the fate of characters such as JAILER and Sylvanas two of the most prominent characters in Shadowlands which have caused division within the game's communities.
This is a story that has, for the most part, has not been particularly well-received by a lot of fans. The Jailer, the biggest bad in the expansion, has become retroactively linked to huge swaths of existing World of Warcraft lore dating all the way to World of Warcraft. The entire millennium-long plot is more than a little confusing, leading some fans to jokingly refer to him as playing the version of 4D Chess that no one can understand.
Sylvanas and her storyline may be viewed more negatively. A character that has been a long-time fan favorite however, her most recent appearance as a an genocidal war criminal as well as the Jailer's second-in command has created a negative taste in the mouths of many players. The reality that Sylvanas was then betrayed by the Jailer at the end of patch 9.1 according to what appeared to be an impulsive decision caused more than one or two players narrative whiplash. What, all of a sudden what character has committed genocide but has shown no regret, suddenly changing his heart? It's unclear whether fans will get an answer to that question. However, lead quest designer Maria Hamilton said that the story of Sylvanas and the larger storyline of Shadowlands is being designed at a high-level. Smaller details, however, get more fleshed out as time goes on.
"I believe that everyone ought to be content," Hamilton said in regards to Sylvanas' story. "There will always be people who aren't. There is a fine line to walk , and we try our best. We're determined to tell the most compelling story we can , and make sure the characters are being effectively represented and depicted."
Patch 9.2 will arrive in what is the turning point of Blizzard's popular MMORPG of 18 years old and the company itself. Many of the traditional assumptions about the game's features WoW is are changing in the coming patch, and there's no better illustration than the coming ability for players from both the Horde and Alliance to team together for activities like raids and dungeons, for the first time. Although the feature won't be implemented in patch 9.2 but will be made available in buy WOW WoTLK Classic Gold patch 9.2.5. the positive fan reaction to such a significant modification has been proving to be true, Dawson said.
