Hot take: This was a terribly disappointing questline to further along the kirin tor's story. It was supposed to be sad and it was at the BEGINNING when you were dealing with Aethas and his emotions, and he's an interesting character that we haven't seen a whole lot of and he's been around forever so it's nice to get to know him more, but then halfway through it's the Jaina show ONCE AGAIN. I am SO SICK OF JAINA. She is not a well written character. She is in EVERYTHING. EVERY story EVERY plot EVERY event and now she's going to be the leader of the Kirin Tor on top of every other title she holds, can't wait for her to become Guardian in 2 expansions when they kill khadgar for real. Called it here btw. There were SO MANY MAGES IN DALARAN THAT HAD ACTUAL DEPTH THAT COULD HAVE BEEN EXPLORED. They didn't even mention anyone on the council of six, who we presume all died right Idk I guess we're just left to assume a couple of those boats were characters that we have seen for literally over a decade with zero mention of even thier names. I was so excited for this. They made you wait 21 days for 15 min of questing and more Jaina (yay jaina, everyone likes her. Also what's with the whole keeping the Kirin tor active but they just aren't going to involve themselves with the world It's a collection of the most powerful mages in Azeroth and now they're just going to be retired researchers I guess. That to me is a harder fall than losing Dalaran in the first place.
Sorry, this comes from a place of following everything Kirin Tor. I have a Kirin Tor tattoo, I play 3 mages. I do not feel like this was good.

I'm unsatisfied with how they resolved things between Aethas and Jaina. Yeah she suffered horrible losses at the hands of the Horde, but what she did in Dalaran, enabling the deliberate and indiscriminate persecution and killing of a group of people. and now we all act like it never happened cause she had a sad life and sUrELy regrets it. Great. Great writing. Great job, blizzard. Great way of resolving an injustice that was commited against the most played race. The players will love you for this. This and all the other great things you did to the Kirin Tor this xpac. No more meddling in world affairs DUDE U GUYS ARE SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL MAGES IN THE WORLD, YOU PLANNING ON SITTING IN A LIBRARY AND SIPPING TEA WHILE AZEROTH BURNS DOWN AROUND U Ok. Our heroes, everyone.

I have many things to say about Khadgar in a wheelchair. But he's a mage. The guardian! Can't he just use levitate to float around
But the wheelchair is already floating. So what are the use for the wheels then If he's just gonna float around in that, why doesn't he just float around in like a throne This is so wierd and funny on so many levels.
I get that want representation and awareness for people in wheelchairs, in the wake of Ibelin (may he rest in peace, but they miss when they make the darn thing float. It just make it look absurd. If they want Khadgar to be in a wheelchair, then at least make a wooden one that rolls on the ground, or make him sit in some kind of moderate size throne that floats around.

How much of that first cinematic dialog was written with ChatGPT These stories go no where, the dialog is just circular 'feelings' and 'we need to do better. '
Dalaran getting knocked out of the sky twice isn't an indictment on the failures of the Kirin Tor, it's a recognition that they're always putting themselves on the line at every frontier. They take losses as they risk their organization at every big bad scenario.
Now we have Gallywix which is supposed to be some criticism of capitalism, I'm sure. Why can't we all be shape-changing elvish trolls and live in underground wakanda I can't believe people get a paycheck for this stuff.

I don't play WoW, I'm glad I don't, I still enjoy some ways they've gone with the story, it isn't all perfect.
But I just gotta say, why the fck did they give Khadgar a boring ass wheelchair, of all the damn things they could've given him. Why just a regular ass wheelchair, it's so immersive breaking, since he's literally a one man army, and doesn't make his own stylized and versatile thing to sit on. Could've been a magical animal, maybe a construction that looked like something from Dalaran, or just a floating hanging chair thing from Suramar. So many options, but they fcked it up with that, it diverts my attention so fcking much

Why are they all lamenting about mistakes, having themselves to blame and how Kirin Tor needs to change The hell, you did nothing wrong You got tricked by void waifu - happens to the best of us. Still not your fault, stop trying to make it deep.
Why would you not want to rebuild Dalaran It's a flying fortress that helped save the world twice. Who wrote this At least give it a legitimate reason why it's impossible.

Dalaran gets destroyed Oh non! Anyway. Dalaran got destroyed at WC3, gets rebuilt in Wotlk in a flying mode, got destroyed here, and gets rebuilt with 5 boats full of some crystals. And yeah, this wheelchair. Dude did not only resurrected BUT is using some wheelchair. I was hoping so much better for this ending World Soul saga. Enjoy your gaming time I guess.

What is their problem with dalaran leave it alone in every expansion there's either a new dalaran design in different places either a dalaran in danger, like come on. Every new expansion worse than previous

If it's to be rebuild and not supposed to be floating anymore (which I'd appreciate tbh, Dalaran should return home to Lordaeron, where it belongs. The crater has been empty for far too long already.

Khadgar saddle sore must happend in a rly worst case. So not even Anduin or Velen can heal the pain in the ass. That wheelchair is made by archmage Modera so Khadgars gonna sit on it for a while.

I can't wait for mages to unlock other roles like support or healer or tanks. I knew that mages were very versatile in their spellcrafting, these cinematics only strengthened my belief in it.

I like how they do all this to mourn the fallen and their home. and then shit on everything the Kirin Tor did and stood for. I still play WoW but god damn the writing is just awful now.

I just realized that as of The War Within, in-game there are two Dalarans (Crystalsong Forest, Broken Isles) and two Dalaran Craters.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

This was an awfully long about way of saying that Blizzard doesn't want to put in the work to model, texture and place a new Dalaran city in the game.
