Recently, Blizzard announced the plot of the expansion pack of "World of Warcraft" 9.2 version "Eternal End" in the expansion pack. I thought that this new expansion pack would at least bring a shocking reversal of the foreshadowing slowly unveiled in the plot. I never thought that Blizzard would "show up" to the first level, following the design idea of "replicating classics", and formed a wave of "Wrath of the Lich King 2.0".
This World of Warcraft 9.2 preview press conference, we can't say that there is no highlight, we can only say that we don't even want Blizzard's face.
In the 9.2 preview, the biggest surprise is the Kingdom of Stormwind City and the Supreme King Anduin of the Alliance. It has been confirmed that it has become one of the final bosses. It needs the alliance and the tribe to defeat him (or perhaps save him).
To be honest, as the greatest expansion pack in the history of World of Warcraft, the Wrath of the Lich King can indeed attract the attention of many old players. As long as Blizzard can follow the design ideas of his predecessors and arrange a prince (king) who also believes in the Holy Light into the book, it can also create a fate-like epic feeling in the plot.

But the problem just happens. Blizzard can't even stir-fry cold rice.
Just the matter of Anduyin entering the book, the old Warcraft player said from the heart: "Can you beat Anduyin to death directly? Please, don't wake up!"
Today, I started to sort out the plot of version 8.0, and took you to see why Anduyin was caught in the gun for no reason and turned into Lich King 2.0 step by step.
Although World of Warcraft named version 8.0 "Traveling for Azeroth", as the supreme commander of the alliance, Anduin, in addition to reading a group therapy technique in the opening CG and shouting the super-sensing slogan "For the Alliance", he became a little transparent with a sense of presence of about zero.
In the early stage of version 8.0, Blizzard focused on the story of Hai's daughter Jaina returning to Kul Tiras, uncovering the knot of her father-killing at the age of young people, and Andu was so good at the rear of the alliance;
to version 8.1, the protagonist became Tyrande, who turned black because of burning trees. The most awesome thing is that Anduin also prevented Tyrande from "private grudges".
finally managed to get to version 8.2, and the league and the tribe were almost done. Anduin should have appeared, but Queen Azshara broke out halfway, and turned the main plot of "Competition for Azeroth" into the tribe and the alliance to fight the ancient god.
What's even more annoying is that even when attacking Queen Azshara, Anduin was still playing soy sauce in the back! ! !
, and the most eye-catching operation in the mid-to-late 8.0 version, Anduyin's only eye-catching operation may be to hand the King of Val's Salamani to King Sarufal, watching Sarufal be killed by Sylvanas (why not read the resurrection technique?)...
Simply put, Anduyin's performance in "World of Warcraft" was not strong, and Blizzard did not set up his new king of Stormwind City. The impression that this alliance's supreme king left on players is likely to be greater than that of the Mavericks who "subjugated the enemy in the face of battle".
So, with the launch of the 9.0 version of "Shadow Kingdom", while everyone is looking forward to the launch of the Lich King Wrath 2.0, what kind of "underworld" operation has Blizzard formed?
What no one expected was that in order to promote the development of the plot, the designer actually asked Sylvanas's two Wagri Banshees to capture Anduin directly in front of all the soldiers of Stormwind! ! !
(Things about the king of Stormwind was captured in Stormwind City)
How outrageous is this plot? The younger brother could only say helplessly that there were hundreds of roof-mounted buildings in Stormwind City, and Andu was caught in a place without a roof. The wolf king who had been fighting on the side did not even give up a skill, so he had time to shout "NO".
(not emoticons, better than emoticons)
Then, Anduin, who was imprisoned by the warden, was still talking to Sylvanas about the necessity of the order of life and death, and then directly controlled the warden with the Demon King of Death, and became the latest version of the Lich King. One of the more uncommon things about
is that in order to make Anduin's image move closer to Alsace, Blizzard also asked the warden to recast the first-generation artifact Salamaine into a shadow sword full of death runes.
Compared to the plot where Arthas was abducted to the depravity step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by Blizzard when dealing with the Lich King 2.0 Anduin, it can be said that it has made the word "saving funds" the most.
Not to mention the journey of the mind, even the scene of Anduin's face show, we can't piece together a complete plot in versions 9.0 and 9.1. The only information we can know is that Anduin is the state of being controlled by the warden, and even the Holy Light Magic cannot be removed. Even if he can remain rational in a short period of time, he cannot gain the dominance of his body.
To put it bluntly, this time, the Lich King played by Anduin was not only unable to be established in the character, but even his purpose of appearing in the group book and being an enemy of the players is extremely far-fetched, and he is more like a puppet.
Blizzard's cold rice is not only fried but also scattered.
I have something to say: Regarding the fact that Andu was controlled and turned into Lich King 2.0, I believe that any old player who has played World of Warcraft for several years can write better than the current screenwriter. Blizzard could have used the war trauma after "Contact Azeroth" to create a flesh-and-blood, compassionate King of Stormwind instead of fighting a multi-version of the puppet Lich King.
A shocking question: Do you think Anduin will die in the 9.2 version?
