Senior Artist for In-Game Cinematics, who goes by the Twitter handle Tumblebuck, explains why there is such a notable difference between the Sylvanas cinematic and Garrosh's cutscene in the Sanctum of Domination.

Some may consider the Garrosh cutscene lackluster compared to the Sylvanas' cinematic, but there is more to it than meets the eye.

The Sylvanas cinematic was done by dozens of people using a Holywood-level film pipeline and 100% bespoke animation and FX to render out a video.

On the other hand, the Garrosh cutscene was created by a single person using only the game itself and design tools. For a single person, the creator did really well. What do you think?

... I know we meme "small indie companie", but what the *filtered*?! You have ONE person making a cinematic that's built into your major raid of the patch for one of the top 20 most important characters in the past decade. Someone that you even heavily used in marketing the game of "run into major characters from the past"

Not to mention, Garrosh is a polarizing character, so his appearance would resonate as is, and the appearance itself was teased time and again, so people were looking forward to some kind of cutscene or interaction.

Disgraceful.

I guess it means they can pump out more cutscenes, but... gah.

I have never ever been a fan of that animation since it showed up. The head/face animations are so strange they're actually distracting from the story being told. First noticed it in Legion, and the rise in use in BfA was not good to see.

      Collector's Dilemma: High Shipping Costs a Dealbreaker for European Players
      By Staff
      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?

      All Variants of Customizable Delve Mount in the War Within (Video)
      By Staff
      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.
