Where is the blog!
Following the usual blogs, around this time: <t:1710439200:R>
It's likely an hour earlier, as we're in the weird couple of weeks where US has DST already but europe doesn't
i think the post will have info about 10.2.6 and 10.2.7 and maybe something more like S4
agree
it can be eaarlier
the last time they do a blog post for a upcoming patch, assuming the blog is about the release of the patch for today on ptr, it has been released few hours earlier
There's always a chance but the vast majority of posts go out at the same scheduled time
it dependes, if we have a build on ptr today, it may go on website earlier.
i hope not but there's a chance we might not see 10.2.7 on ptr until 10.2.6 drops, because it probably has 10.2.6 stuff in files
blog is probably about 10.2.7, doubt 10.2.6 will be there other than maybe a small tease
i expect that yeah a little tease or just the release date
yep same
i was actually expecting it to be about alpha but the recent push to 10.2.7 branch made me change my mind
So what is that 10.2.6 event ?
So no TWW Alpha?
what if 10.2.6 is the Vampire Survivors thing that was datamined long ago?
12min help

same! its like mini christmas
Nothing? :(
daylight saving maybe?
their diablo 4 scheduled post went out
me neither
lmao
personally my bet is in 1.5-2 hours alongside a PTR and/or alpha
is in an hour guys, no problem LMAO
another hour. š¦
lmaoooo
maybe they set the post date to 2004 accidentally again
daylight time messed it up so 3pm
they later it will come the bigger odds for alpha we have
I'm hoping 10.2.7 ptr before alpha
I just want anything
yeah thats why we think this in development is 10.2.7
I was told I was nuts about that being up before 10.2.6 even launches
I just don't think 10.2.6 has any story
me neither
10.2.6 may just be an event in kalimdor
like storm invastion/legion invastion type
I want in game traitors/vampire/among us
Plunder Isle as a new Timeless Isle with alternate levelling content was also intriguing.
why not
they said it is doable without Df
and they only way is to make it in kalimbor or booty bay
they forgot. š¦
next hour guys, surely
Towellie just went live
yeah, but Jak has been live waiting for the article for like 2 hours now, don't think they know any more than we do
Towelliee always has the inside info
Jak's been iced from a lot of the Blizzard structure.
they all do
like maybe not every content creator
hm donāt think it means anything but we can hope
but a lot of them
Towellie leaked us going deep first after all
they get advanced knowledge of some things, via their creator discords
But it's often not that advanced, like a day or so max
And some of them get to do interviews days before
The hero talent interviews for example
those were literally the day before, afaik
they don't trust creators to not leak stuff
for whatever reason like I said, Towelliee always gets it, and sometimes he hints too much
pretty sure he also just makes a lot of stuff up for clickbait
and then throws in the real spoiler later
he's late night and overnight NA
honestly it's all over the place
last streams started at 3am, midday, 10am, 3am, midday, 7pm
If it's alongside a PTR/alpha, then it's still how its worked in the past
you'd hope at least
I think itās still coming. Itās only 1 PM PST. They have another couple hours before the day is over
Any time now 
actually anytime someone mentions they are late they push it back by a minute.
I agree fellow tob
what is the definition of insanity again?
2pm there
rip
must be a release
I mean what is the point of posting or delaying a blog post if they are not planning to have something ready

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
a lot of alpha builds on past weeks, my bet is they will open alpha
we are only 5 months away from probably exp
alpha was supposed to be after 10.2.6 though
well
my inner hope is saying surprise 10.2.6 release today and then blue post still
not so true I mean
the map is partially incorrect
looking here, the 10.2.6 is also during hs event for example
since it overlap 10.2.5 banner
maybe, but ugh, I'm annoyed slightly
someone in this disc must be a wow dev
we are just having fun (at least in my case)
The most probable outcome for you will be victory. 
yeah!
mmo-c forums are on fire lol
well thats a bit dramatic, but yeah they are not happy with this
Yeah, I mean Iāve tried everything I know to make content be pushed. (Going and doing chores outside the house usually does it)
Thanks god Iām not longer there
Although I DO have to go to Samās club
gotta leave house for a friends in like 40 min so itāll prob drop as soon iām in the uber

but yeah at this point alpha is the most probable between 10.2.6 10.2.7
I remember back on days alpha beta etc released pretty late in EU time.
alpha makes more sense than 10.2.7, because 10.2.7 will prob have 10.2.6 files
but we'll see
I remember betas from wod/legion datamining on night, I remember I went to bed and read them on wowhead in the morning
yeah same
Wouldn't alpha make less sense today, if they release hero talents tomorrow?
why
could be talents that come in a later build
they did say they wanted most if not all hero talents out before alpha
What Kyle said
they are most out no?
no
I did not followed it
i don't think thats an issue
they could be in the alpha and the post is dedicated to a more formal approach for people who dont follow datamining or etc
i feel like 10.2.7 ptr with chances of 10.2.6 spoiler is a bigger issue tbh
especially with how careful they've been about 10.2.6 spoilers
the suspense is driving me insane
hahahahah yeah
no more secret patches 
like the lack of a PTR works for SoD because they at least give us an idea of what to expect
here we know nothing
idk i like it
Iād like more secret patches that we donāt know about
If they do another secret patch it shouldnāt even be on the road map. Just strictly no communication about it whatsoever.
remember the casters that had a big ass cast bar that would go for weeks
something like that would've been so cool
i thought that endless eclipse was a teaser
or like the trading post teaser
but no, it was just a bug
maybe it is and we dont know
The way they did patches starting with Dragonflight, and prior to this 10.2.6 stuff was perfect, always wow content to look forward to
but dont think it is
nah Zorbrix tweeted that it was a bug
it would've been worse, just like 8 weeks without communication at all?
at least we know there's something coming
i wanna wait until release to judge a bit more, but i feel a few more ingame teasers would make it perfect
like a mob casting something on somewhere new or a distant comet or anything
The thing is we donāt know whatās a teaser for 10.2.6 because why donāt k ow what it entails. Heck if itās pirates one could say one of the hearthstone event mobs are a teaser cause heās āthe pirateā
i would argue if we dont know its a teaser, its a bad teaser
Thatās a fair point
Not really. Just a well hidden clue
10.2.6 has 0 story I'm pretty sure
clues and teasers are different stuff
yeah same, imo its an event and some kind of new gearing gimmick
like corruption or 10.1 ring
to make s4 more "fun"
can't be considering they said its open to anyone with a wow sub
but its just a guess anyways
yeah, true
maybe the dynamic ground mount stuff?
i feel its kind of a gameplay gimmick or evergreen feature that makes it "big"
that would be pretty wild to hype up on twitter and keep secret
Surprise World Revamp
base game requires sub? if yes it will be on ek/kalimdor
Yes needs sub
they also said: "inspired by pior musings from the community" or something
so it will be on ek or on booty bay
on bootybay we have a new boat
added in 10.1
for whatever reason but it can be linked to it
i really hope it isn't pirates tbh
idc much about theme tbh
i just dont want it to be a boring event every 1 hour
like archivists was kinda disappointing
I think they've genarated too much hype and they're having back and forths with the PR team trying to word the bluepost in a way to upset the least amount of people/damage control
I mean the only teaser we have is a Jolly Roger
interesting makes sense
tbf they've had a while to do that
and they penciled in the reveal today at the start of the week
what came up between then and now
i think its linked to a release and they had some last minute problem or something
but could be anything
imagine its just rumble on PC 
also wouldnt mind if its delayed tbh as a developer i understand lmao
or more SoD stuff
lmao
Guys itās clearly wow on mobile
WoW mobile app update
They said youād need a sub and everyone has a phone soā¦
wow on steam deck š
we have 6 min until the next chance
dragonriding on wow mobile update
I think it'll drop 7pm est
almost got me
honestly i would love that
same š
Max going live soon apparently
who is max
Guildmaster of Liquid
Max the fucking goat
how soon
he is live
in before https://i.imgur.com/rtZkdXD.png
š
imagine if we will ends like this
you scared me
i swear to god
also this is why the dinosaurs are restless
max started talking on stream

this is just crappy PR regardless
:/
As I've said before, the lack of a PTR works with SoD because they at least tell us what to expect
Here, there's nothing
Guys I've been sitting on the toilet staring at my phone for 8 hours now my kids are crying my wife has left me WHERE IS THE DEVELOPER UPDATE
this is so funny
it's also almost midnight in the UK
23:00
i don't see how it's crappy pr when all they said was the date
sure if they don't get it out today...
they've trained us pretty well to expect the news posts at a specific time
i get that
is in 10min guys, don't worry

I mean they still have 1/4th of the day to get it out by 3/14
did max say that or
people are impatient which is understandable, we all want some kind of news
news drops in 9mins 100%
and if it doesn't?
If it's a "it's going live now!" type of crap, I'd rather they just do the news AS NORMAL, saying it comes up later today
it will
what makes you so sure
Well in 9 minutes it's no longer the 14th in the EU
US Company spends no energy to align with EU dates and times
well in Australia is morning 15th
if it's about classic i swear to god
Haha
Lead Software Engineer tweeted a monocol emoji
yeah
Cute
OH NO ORLANDO
this confirms its player housing
DON'T DO THIS TO ME AGAIN
better be werewolf game in Gilneas
what do you mean "again"
š¦
I wonder if itāll be that vampire survivors mode that got datamined a while back
god that would not be worth the suspense
it depends
If itās like a Mage Tower Iāll lose it
I go to bed and read it in the morning:p

1 minute ago
Lol
oh that wouldāve been great
Remember when we had things to do on live, and had 2 PTRs going? we had it so good
we will have Alpha + S4 PTR + 10.2.7 PTR
- Cata Beta
I love how this has been the biggest content drought since DF came out
(Which is really short)
i mean, for just a week
they somehow made two months feel like six
hope they never do this again
same
they just need to pick a damn time to reveal news every day
just tell us what the patch is but don't go completely dark
i for sure hope that PTR won't exist in the future
public testing needs to exist for dungeons and raids imo
if they have a internal testing team, there is no need for that
WoW isn't FFXIV, the story isn't good enough to warrant the removal of PTR
"they have an internal testing team"
Still no update damn, what did i even expect from this companh
maybe the real post is the friends we made along the way
not consistency
They had a pretty damn good track record of 10ams pacific for a while there
stuff like this just makes everyone mad
things were going too good, they had to throw in a wrench
same!
i think PTR kinda sucks for mmorpgs
it kills exploration so hard
just don't consume PTR content
Maybe they finally realized people are starving for updates and whatever article they had wasnāt going to cut it.
they def overhyped it
doesnāt really work like that, live goes up and thereās already a shit ton of guides and everybody knows everything
you have not seen the patch yet
at this point it must be a big thing
ok but YOU won't know anything which is what you wanted?
otherwise people will riot
The Sex Update
the point in exploration is everyone doing it together
it was "development update" vs an in dev post
Housing + World Revamp + Raid System Rework
thatās why itās a mmorpg
retail wow is a collection simulator with MMO elements
it's not exploration if you're just following a guide with 9 other people also following the guide
just explore with other people that think the same as you
it doesnāt have to be
i mean it can be
with more stuff
why not
SOD is for exploration, retail isn't that kinda game anymore
thatās why i like no ptr, thereās no guides, everyone is lost together
I like to imagine that the dev responsible for posting the update just fell asleep at their keyboard
even with guides more than half the server is clueless
people can't even read the patch slash screen lmao
WoW is too big for an internal playtest
5-10 people can't test everything in a reasonable amount of time
thatās blizzards problem not ours
they should have a big team and invest real money
blizzards problems are our problems sadly
as a public company they are obligated to invest in things that will make them more money, not lose it
i would sacrifice having a few bugs to have more surprises
removing PTR would require hiring more internal testing, and investing into ads, they get free advertisement for the game currently and for the past decade
but whatever really
again, blizzards problem
they still hadd surprises to the game that don't get datamined, and hell take months, years to figure out 
There must've been something happening if they're eating lunch at 4:30
they better release this shit tonight 
I may as well get dinner now
how long it takes a lunch in NA?
in Europe we usually ahve 1+ hour break
idk there
shitty job = 15, decent 30, really good 1hr+
maybe the tweet means that they've had problems
Or a big meeting
Maybe they're planning on shadowdropping the patch
Also I feel like they would've told us if there were problems
"We hyped this up too much how can we make this blue post without a mob at our door?"
nah, the only possible thing at this point is alpha
global release are done at midnight eu time usually
i think they are fine
idk
They've def overhyped this patch, I have no doubt about that
they are not imo
Is it bad that I'm more excited for the two DF patches than I am for alpha
we're sitting here waiting for an announcement for a small, minor patch, that likly adds one thing
10.2.7 has whatever timerunning is
We starving out here bruh hahahahha
alpha is soon
assuming they are bringing a PTR of some sort up, a note 7-8 hours ago saying that's what they're doing, rather than the devs having to suffer and delay their meals, would have been better for everyone
Think of it this way: if it was just a blogpost they would've released it already
It's definitely tied to something releasing
With hotfixes coming soon, weāre making the following adjustments to the Hearthstoneās 10th Anniversary Event: Fixed a bug where it was possible to complete the Whizbang encounter and not receive Trading Post credit for it. Players can now collect missing cards by using the Hearthstone Gameboard toy to defeat others in a friendly game. It will...
here it is
HAAHHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAH

This can't be it
my least favorite time period of DF
it's noot it's just a hotfix
blue said soon(tm) its over
ah yes lets pretend the devs haven't been hyping things up on twitter
and that Holly didn't make that post
they definitely havent
there were NO indications that there was a big announcement
zorbrix tweets all the time
you decided to make it into something
Where
classic mrpeach going on a rant
Found it

now say sorry
this isn't the article, they aren't pre announcing hotfix posts for an event that hasn't even started yet
"Development update" has historically been used for announcing new patch features or dates or similar
mobile pet battle update
In dev posts are usually the really big ones
Development Update: 10.2.6 is so secretive to us that it's escaped our servers and gone into hiding
and more so to the point they said 3/14 so like they still have a few hours left of the day to make an announcement happen before y'all go and get your pitchforks
did they want it to come out earlier? probably, but hey shit happens
i don't think they're gonna have OT for a bluepost
who knows maybe it's a 10.2.6 launch.
no longer the 14th in the EU, are we allowed pitchforks?
no because they are a US company
The post on the EU site said 14th, not 15th
expecting them to cater to your timezone is quite insane
Europe is many timezones
They change the dates on other things on the this week in wow post to account for the reset day
Is this our moment
Four minutes
devs trolling again 
Where
It better be good
it's time.
bluepost is gonna be just: š“āā ļø
Like timerunning being MoP challenge modes with the armor sets coming back
"muh prestige"
Make it a recolor, it's been 10 years
make it the same plus a recolor it's been 10 years
Link it
actual worst blue post I've ever seen for a content patch
bruh
all day for that lol rip
is this a new location? or is this somewhere in game already
this shit better be good 
i can't tell haha
Freehold I think
looks like freehold ya
another fomo event 
I think it's actually bridgeport, rather than freehold
well 5 days
That's it, this could have gone live at 10am like every other damn post
Massive pr fail lol
limited-time is insane
Doesn't make me feel good, I already expected the patch next week
??
kept us on the edge of our seats all day
limited time does not exactly fill me with hope
limited time actually made me lose all hope
i was deep down hoping the patch would be more than one thing but ah well
Once the patch is pushed to download it'll be datamined to hell and back
unless there's a limited time event to kick off the patch and the actual content is more long-term?
Imagine if it's another event like AQ40
I really hope they never do this stuff again lmao
But if your server doesn't complete the war effort in time, it's deleted
they only thing is they've moved away from offering limited rewards like that
Except for d4 and presumably hearthstone
I just think it not being evergreen is a mistake
WHY IS IT LIMITED TIME
You won't want to miss out on the fun!
and if you're EU you get to watch NA explore all of it 
explore twitter and forums complaining abt 12 huor maint downtime
call me delusional but what if the limited time event is purely just to kick off the patch
I can't think of a single good limited-time event
would of just prefered more emerald dream content
bcuz they screw up every single one and by the time tis fixed the event is halfway done


the HS event isn't fun the rewards are nice tho
portals being 30 mins from the start woudl of made it fun
and spawn all at same time
not really, it just would have been easier to get the items, that event isn't fun.
but they really let us on a pirate hunt for fomo event that u probably do 3 things for, for recolored rewards
gg
fun to quit farming the event earlier*
the d4/HS events are literally just loot piƱatas.
Watch us only get a new parrot recolor
š« ugh right
and i dont even like the parrots
i only like bird mounts that walk
well, I hope its fun :)
hope for alot of things
Max thought this content was gonna last through all of s4 for some reason
forreal
who wants to take bets wether or not WH locks the WH post about 10.2.6?
or be like something fun while we wait for S4
š
cause i think it would be in their best interest to do so.
this was funny
oh it's already out and has comments turned on. huh. well nevermind then lol
It doesn't seem to be a match for freehold
it's using some of the same buildings, but it's not actually a specific location there
I'm wondering if it's one of the island expeditions
it not being a global release is kinda wild
its probably some stupid campsite to farm for the stuff then u leave once u have everything
Dragonflight season 4 will go live several weeks after the release of the 10.2.6. i wonder what they consider "several"
3-4?
2 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks? 3 hours? nooobody knows
wonder what store mount theyll release during this event
It's an almost match for the back of the shark boss arena, except the building on the right is different and there's a mountain behind it
flying shark mount
fr
or a whale shark mount
and it can fly swim and everything the otter does
and the shark has a hook in its fin
oh
but im expecting all recolored rewards that are annoying to get or something idk š« fomo events never really good unless its pre patch
S4 PTR soon then
Tuesday Iād bet
if they're going to end the season in "serveral weeks" shouldn't they already have a date in mind??
still just hoping for a personisable boat </3
cna weget a mount with a mailbox
No, just use the toy from OP
1hr
You shouldnāt need a mailbox more than that
Thereās a few mailbox toys too
ohanra post
oh yeah they added a new one in 10.0
or what ever it's called
it shares a CD tho
very
very easy
i shuld get it
oh it is an 3 hour CD
WHAT
its a shared CD
lame
a blizz classic
i just saying bcuz i have alot of alts that i send mail to randomly i like mailbox mount cu im not always by one
you're alot closer to a mailbox than you realize
only fish flop foxy these are pirates
xD
my only silver lining to this is it should be season 4 before the next comp stomp so easy pvp sets and gearing alts for s4
that's assuming they add new tints to the pvp sets tho
can't wait for the event to have been solved by the time its deployed to eu
listen as a NA player i'd be okay with making Wednesday our global reset day and letting it just happen forever on Wednesdays. it would make a lot of sense
like RWF and all that jazz too
that's why I was worried this one was labeled dev update, and proves right
i mean the reason itās in separate days itās so blizz has to deal with one at a time not because ours gotta be first lol
also, tbf they didn't say live for NA on the 19th and EU on the 20th so....there's still hope for global but the chances aren't good
oh rip i was on specificlly the NA page
today is just a massive communication fail regardless, unless they didn't approval to launch the patch til 5pm
also isn't it EU servers are handled over in the EU location? and not at blizzHQ in cali?
I think they do it all remotely now
so there really isn't a reason we couldn't be on a global reset
just so all the servers don't go boom at once basically
other then the age old "because it's always been as so"
yeah so NA takes the risk so EU doesn't have to.
I'm sure this untested patch won't have any bugs at all
NA doesn't assume more risk by letting EU reset at the same day. just blizzard has the chance to not update EU if something bad happens with NA
what do you mean, "untested" CCs have been playing and in house employees

right
@MrGMYT We really wanted to. We discussed it a lot. This is... uhm... like wearing two eyepatches on a unicycle in rush hour. Exciting and unpredictable. We will all be learning together on this one.
interesting
yeah, I'm on board with anyone disappointed by time limited and non global

couple means 2 several could just me 3 or more
"more than two but not many"
literal definition
Alpha in a couple weeks then going off the road map 
for me couple is 2, few is 3, several is 4+
Like if you tell me several months, I'm thinking half a year
it's likely wordplay to cover their butts, it will likely be 3-4 weeks and they want to to be shorter so say 3 weeks but if they say a few weeks and then it ends up being 5 weeks people will be unhappy. hence why they used the term several. since several weeks can mean 3 or more and not a few weeks which could mean 3+ weeks but leaning towards the smaller end.
I just want this season over, I'm glad others kept running keys but this pool massively disappointed me
Turns out, I'm not a huge fan of legacy dungeons
I like having different dungeons every season
except there's only been 5 out of 14 that were dungeons I've never done as m+ before
I can appreciate getting WoD and earlier dungeons to m+ caliber takes time, but there was so many bfa and legion dungeons
and next expac will add SL to that pool
so the incredible news was that they will release 10.2.6 next week=
lol
it was already knows as thing, very probable
hahah
and about the pirtase. as I said it can be on booty bay as the new boat added in 10.1
Its not even a difference of one day but several hours ( like 12 hours average ) . There is literally no excuses to not do it
Agreed
Will they keep it a complete surprise till patchday?
its 3 days away
if you're NA yes, otherwise you're SOL
However, the whole thing will still be datamined before the servers even come back up 
datamined yes but idk if they will spoler it up
anyway looks like a small event nothing big
dude, why it looks small?
we literally haven't seen anything about it
I can't imagine them putting real dev effort into a limited-time event but we will see what happens :)
solo shuffle was a limited time event
My expectations are on the floor
mines are like, good, okay, excited, don't think is idk, housing, but is def not a small event
the HS "event" is just a loot pinata, they couldn't even be bothered to add the tavern they built back in BFA this would have been PERFECT for this "event"
I have some optimism for it
If theyāre thinking itās new or innovative whatever term they use
Brave?
Just hope thereās cool rewards and itās not just be there at a certain time and kill boss
If Max and other content creators I follow know what's coming with 10.2.6 and are excited, why shouldn't i?
Do you really think they'd be pessimistic on a patch that isn't out yet using insider knowlege?
i don't care lol, is a videogame after all
video game that cost $180 a year

I'm sure the rewards will make up for any shortcomings in the event

shark mount will fix it
with wings
The hero talent article is late too?
i wish it is, just for the memes
They certainly are delaying it because they put the blues news at the usual article time
I'm annoyed now, why are they breaking the schedule they had for so long
Because it's end of the cycle
DK Mounted combat 
Rider of the Apocalypse and Deathbringer Death Knights, Aldrachi Reaver Demon Hunter, Druid of the Claw Druid, Flameshaper Evoker, Pack Leader Hunter, Spellslinger Mage, Shado-Pan and Conduit of the Celestials Monks, Farseer Shaman, Hellcaller Warlock, and Slayer Warrior.
Rider of the apocalypse feels like it's borrowing a bunch from the torghast powers that also summoned them
not a bad thing though it felt great to have the squad with you
The first DH tree is.. bleh. To say the least.
how so?
Lame that the mount is only for the outdoors
Sounds more like a tier set bonus than an actual heroic stuff
Its bland and uninspiree
I... remain unconvinced unfortunately; what exactly makes it bland and uninspired and what is the differentiation factor that would separate it from 'tier set' to "actual heroic stuff"?
I think he means legendaries
Which... are more or less the same as tier set bonuses for the most part anyways
are you really longing for an untested event ?
Given Blizz track records , I mean it might be buggy, laggy, unplayable
we will see, lag is mostly an issue with every patch
and not playing it immediatly, but just knowning what it will be about
see the hearthstone event, they had to do fix to make it a bit more playable, they never learn š¦
besides the fact they grant bonuses based on equipment worn, you might as well put trinkets in the same boat by that logic.
The WW/brew monk tree having a talent that specifies weapons of order is gross
Why not breath of fire?
I hate weapons of order - itās so lame
You're not wrong
I know Iām not - I main brewmaster
The death brew is by far the most interesting of the 4 and I canāt believe it hasnāt gone baseline
More brews in the BREWMASTER
It's not my best tank but it's my favorite tank, death at least had some oomph to it when you used it
And yeah it was more thematic
I hope they change that talent
The rest of the tree isnāt bad
Itās not exciting
And it seems useful
But it also seems kinda lame
Shado Pan should be about mobility imo
Iām hoping the other one buffs the ox summon and heals and will end up being stronger so I donāt have to care
I was hoping for more synergy than āincreased %dmgā and āmore buffs to track every 30 secā
Why not bring back some of the stuff from Legion weapon trees?
Itās just extremely boring
What harm would there be in fun stuff like an extra charge of roll or something?
Hellcaller for warlock looks pretty cool.
only real harm is the issue of it feeling like shit for the third spec not getting it arbitrarily lol
which is a core issue with the system
it's a lot of generic throughput passives, and the fun stuff doesn't feel particularly themed around the spec beyond a title
and so the spec without it just feels like they're being screwed over
did they show feral ones already?
I agree - I kinda wish they werenāt thorough put at all and just fun stuff
Why not stick some kind of energy regen on there or something that would mix up the rotation?
some of the stuff is incredibly thematic
moon druid and treant druid, celestial monk, the paladin ones
the two warlock ones are pretty cool even if neither is very destro locky
yeah its just shado pan monk thats lame
I expect like a bleed maybe or something stealthy. Shado pan covered all fighting styles
TWW alpha opt - in isn't up yet is it?
nope
I'm not happy with either of the warlock ones. As a destro warlock I just wanna do stuff with immolate and fire. I don't wanna use demons or dots
Both are pretty warlocky and destro still uses rain of fire and chaos bolt constantly
Wither goes back to the vanilla cinematic where the undead warlock made the ground wither while in front of an infernal
I'm not even sure it'll be on DI tbh, sounds more like Freehold material
ah ?
the picture they uses its from freehold but it is modded
they changed some assets
hope it won't be some lame bronze dragon race with ships instead of dragons
this is freehold but modded, if you go there the assets are placed differently on live server
so why we have a different freehold?
or it is in another place but we can't find it on live server or they created a new freehold
moving the textures
It doesn't seem to match anywhere on live, so presumably it's something new, although largely made from existing freehold and other assets
I hope it's not some temporary new server with new char to be made
not disliking that idea, but if the start of SOD was an example of how not to do something.....
I've been suspecting that it might be something like that, based off the initial comment about "for classic and live players"
yeah, knowing their track records, I fear the worst
( while hoping for the best )
Btw about heroic class, is there a class missing on the list ? or are they all there with at least one spec ?
We've seen one for each class so far
Oracle is being reworked which I'm guessing slowed work on archon and void weaver
How do you even force a theme for shadow and holy? 
Ascension
I'm thinking Protoss Templar or something where you occasionally ascend into a powerful form
nah
its gonna be a rogue-lite gamemode
Torghast 2.0 please š
are you sure it isnt the dungeon version?
dungeon freehold looks different from world freehold
also i wouldnt take the background image as any indicator of anything
they can spin those up pretty quickly
The fuzzy background reminds me a lot of azure span but since everyone can enjoy this even Iām not sure about that
it's also a pretty good match for tiragarde sound
my guess is we're getting a thing that lets us relive wow through the perspective of pirates, just a bunch of scenarios at all different points of history
and it'll be on its own server
I don't know about that
i dont think it will be that either
its interesting they said this but also call it patch 10.2.6
giving it a patch number makes it seem like dragonflight content
they said that bc u can play that content only with the sub, no need DF
<@&299347348847329281>
Ty!
ā¤ļø
It's 10.2.6 because that's when it's added
I pray we see in development on the schedule tomorrow
for 10.2.7/S4?
Either or both preferably
we will 100% get a S4 ptr
I'm a believer in a May 10.2.7 which means that ptr needs to be soonish
they've already said as much
Plus I'm super curious about timerunning
and Alpha should be pretty soon too
My gut says fake alpha notes on 4/1 and real alpha on the 2-4th
Alpha should be before s4 if the roadmap is correct
If timerunning doesn't need much testing than the 10.2.7 ptr might be delayed til s4 is live but it's already encrypted
That usually happens a week or two before the ptr launches
good time to be a WoW fan, a lot of content coming out in the next few months
like a lot with classic and ptr
The crazy thing is possibly being just 18 weeks away from prepatch if they keep the 8-9 week tempo up
true
I think they can pull it off since that just requires warbands, base tree reworks, and prepatch event ready
and Josh said yesterday that SoD p3 info is coming soon
They'll have another 8-9 weeks to finish hero talents and end game
Warbands are so exciting having servers basically become legacy names
i think they are a bit overrated, but the feature is def cool
Shared profession materials, account wide alt gear
like, yeah i love it, its fantastic
It'll likely also bring with it cross realm guilds and work orders
also, im so curious about Delves
they should revisit world content overall
like World Bosses are meh
wonder if they are going to do events like Superbloom in TWW
I'm sure they got enough feedback that the world events in df were lacking
Like I barely engaged with dream surges
we'll have a thing in the vault for world content
That's the delves
I guess superbloom for example giving champ loot in vault is fine.
and the like, road? idk the word in english lol , says World not Delves, that's why im curious
yeah, maybe the world bosses too
It's usually one tier above what the content awards so world content being lfr
what are your thoughts on LFR?
you think it should be remove and add like followers dungeons but with raids
I think it's definitely useful to have a queued raid with actual players
A lot of people get their first taste of raiding that way, and follower raids wouldn't be the same
I wouldn't mind seeing LFR be made slightly more serious and there also being follower raids
Lfr gear is too weak for me to want it to be any harder
@Panda_Norway I see these comments a lot and while I genuinely feel for folks with these anecdotes, there's not likely a magic wand that a game designer can wave that will "fix" this.
The issue at its core is that there will always be people who want to gatekeep for no real reason. I'll alsoā¦
everything that Josh write is worth to read
Neat
new twitch drop
booo, no in dev post
curious to see what content creator event is
yep, that was my thought too
dude im so hype
it's almost here
i need to try my best to not open twitter tomorrow
twitter/wowhead/anything related to WoW
i've seen a lot of debate on the topic of living up to expectations, etc. Personally i don't care at all about that, i just want to have fun
i just want TWW š
i hit max rank with the archeologists thingy this week
so i'm done!
I have to hope the ptr goes up for s4 at least
Do we have a aotc achievement expac hint mount?
Like the crab from shadowlands?
Or the moose from legion?
Shadowflame Fyrakk is our AOTC mount
Yea, this is given for a quest that drops from the heroic and mythic Fyrakk
Is that going away with S4?
Like normally that mount doesnāt go away then so Iām confused
Didnāt the crab in shadowlands stick around until prepatch?
Fyrakk aotc mount stays til prepatch. I'm pretty sure they already confirmed that
Or expansion launch even
You could earn the crab in prepatch
The last few haven't been hints anyways
Only the moose really was
Bird, dragon, and crab were more thematic of their own expansion
S4 likely does have a meta mount, I'd wager it's the Nerubian one since that fits tww
Caterpillar could be cool too
xD haha
why cant they just tell us the event
i think it's really cool that the event is secret
I hope it's something fun xD
and not that we are all tomorrow like "is that it š "
i wish PTR didn't exist and we found out everything on launch day
same, it feels more like the old way. when all we really had was the name of what was coming and had to speculate about the patch
yeah
i didn't find it more fun that way xd
now you at least have something to look forward to
instead of just having to wait
yeah all the stuff you get to find out about on release day
i have one question, the titans models back in Legion were datamined?
of course, i'm not a doomer. anything added to the game will be fun even if just for a short period.
i mean ig uess
but i just want more cat items in this game
is that too much to ask
cat xpac instead of pirate xpac plz
yes, we got enough silly cats
not eonugh cat mounts
there's plenty of things in life than to be upset over the new content not being "super amazing and totally mind blowing"
i mean yea but
Tauren
like not enough cats
š TATS COW
cats are stupid
listen, i have enough cats
lmao
š

foxy go help a rescue if you want more cats
: ( i wish
you kno i f i could i would have my entire place be cat, my pc? cat, my irl self? cat, my house? CAT
every mount and item in WoW? cat
okay i ruining ptr chat uhm sorry
there are plenty of rescues around you i'd bet. but i get it more cat stuff is always good
don't overdo it š„²
I honestly was gonna be so excited if the tigron leak was real. It looked so real
with a bit of bad luck EU will only know it in the late evening š¦
what is that :0
Just before Blizzcon a really believable Avaloren leak had a new tiger race
Druids should have the wod saber cats as forms again
Insane that it was removed for seemingly no reason
Did someone mention an increase in feline companions? 
Eh?
Maaaybeee
it's hilarious how mages are getting absolutely banging hero talents so far
tbf a lot of them seem cool
DK, Mage, Warlock, seem great at least from how they read
add Paladins + Evoker to that list
Dark ranger I think is wrong, it should not have been BM it should have been MM and Survival
banger trees
scalecommander is gonna be amazing
I do remember reading one of the evoker trees and thinking it cool
but one of the other ones sounded a bit bland
and i do like the theme of the uh....first evoker one they showed off
chronomancer or whatever it was called














do u have hope for it
