I'd assumed that either it was a retcon (still possible), a mistranslation (seems not) or something like this:
Twitter rant aimed in our general direction with us on the other side of the star. The sound echoed through so people just thought it came from the planet.

Possibly though we may find out in Pandemonium which is what I'm hoping for tbh. What I'd give to be able to save the ancients and create an AU or something where they are alive and well (and we could visit them). Perhaps not likely, but that would solve some of the problematic issues with the story by making the WoL not partially/potentially responsible for their total annihilation while Hydaelyn is hailed as a hero (in the alternate AU at least, the current one would still be borked).

Still not sure I'd be ok with EW overall, but that could be better than what we have now depending how it was written.
