Ending kinda disappointing?

Ok, so I don't exactly know what I was expecting, but getting to the end of the third day and fighting Kael'thas and then having him tell me I failed, and for Strange to go all "we need more artifacts" again after all the subs are clear and I've redeemed all the tokens is just kind of a letdown?

I imagined there was going to be some kind of final node at the end of it all where Kel'Thuzad was going to get beat down.

Don't get me wrong, from a gameplay perspective this is easily the best event in the game. I just don't really get why it ended in such an unsatisfying way, plot-wise.

    Sweet, so in the next new event we get to fight Arthas Menethil?

    I expected it to just repeat as it did and was still disappointed when it did.

    Totally. I mean, no special ending sucks but is forgivable. No special ending AND you get told you failed at the end?

    Oh my god....you....YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOSE.

    So I thought that the order you played the sub nodes in was supposed to determine the final outcome of the story. I got the same cutscene all three days of the event after beating Illidan Stormrage so did we all pick the wrong order? Or was the only winning move not to play the game?

    Good thing developers fail again!

    I was unplesantly surprised when on the first day to second day switch my opened boss fight closed itself - I was going to do it after recovering health packs after first try. icon_twisted.gif

    Any info would have been nice beforehand, devs!

    So I was only able to do it on day two and three. And I was afraid I will lose some surprise extra award, token or something cool like extra cutscene.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure the event reset each day. So you probably could have for instance gone through door three all three days, perhaps. Instead of gathering all three items.

    I think it was a bug!!!

    Will we hear anything from the devs about it? Probably not.

    I can only hope that next time they will redo the event and say.. "This time, with an actual ending!!!"
