Nobody Panic, Stormwind's Fine! (Other than the Park...)

Spoilers!

Ok, folks. Let's talk about those screenshots of Stormwind Harbor all ruined and covered with Sha-fire and under siege by four Horde ships.

A lot of people are worried that, once again, the Alliance is taking another kick in the groin to add to the list that include Southshore, Gilneas, and Theramore. It's kind of been established that Blizzard seems to keep thinking that we need that big atrocity to rally us to action, but then never gets around to the actual rallying, and then instead forgets that they've done it already and comes up with a new atrocity.

What I'm saying is that there's plenty of precedent to be worried about it.

But good news: These shots are taken from an instanced version of the zone that appears to be part of the Garrosh Hellscream encounter, and is joined by images of the four Celestial Temples as well.

From sound clips, we know that Garrosh has been using Y'shaarj's heart to seek visions, but he's so damned proud (Sha of Pride's still around, after all) that the visions he gets are only of successful conquest. We appear to fight them within those visions.

So yeah - Stormwind under attack looks bad, because that's what the Big Bad of the expansion is trying to do. But he won't, because we're going to kill him.
