i've never used heirlooms before 😬 how much does one set cost?

hollow dock
#

looms cost like a few hundred gold each

#

and to upgrade to tier 1 is 1k, tier 2 is 5k and tier 3 is 10k I think.

torpid patio
#

so im good with ca. 20k for each set?

hollow dock
#

Id guess? I havent' had to buy looms or upgrades for a while so you're better off jus theading to ironforge and checking out for yourself

dense plover
#

20k will get you one piece to 110

#

or 4-5 pieces to 90 or maybe 100

torpid patio
#

ok, im glad i havent bought much in this game, i think i saved up enough for just 1 set

#

does it matter which pieces i buy? it seems like there are 4 diffrent ones, is it just for style?

rich apex
#

Style and stats

#

Not that stats really matter that much for leveling

dense plover
#

what class and spec?

hollow dock
#

If you're planning on leveling up a leather wearer after the DH, buy a full leather set.

dense plover
#

agility

#

and probably haste or crit

hollow dock
#

If you're planning on only buying 1 set, get the cloth set.

dense plover
#

cloth cant be worn for stats

hollow dock
#

Not wearing it for stats.

dense plover
#

then they will die

#

being 110 but essentially being half geared?

#

regular quest trash will murder you

hollow dock
#

It's for the XP m8. Once you hit 110, it's so easy to get a full set of 880 gear.

dense plover
#

yeah

rich apex
#

Legion invasion mobs hit pretty hard tho

#

So

dense plover
#

but getting to 110 will take way more time with no stats

hollow dock
#

That's why grouping exists.

rich apex
#

True

dense plover
#

your dmg will suck

terse plank
#

Unless you're getting carried, you'll be crushed in your cloth gear because cloth doesn't have the agility portion.

dense plover
#

^

#

get a leather set

#

there are also more classes that use leather

hollow dock
#

I've leveled a DK, warrior and hunter all perfectly fine in the cloth set lol

dense plover
#

good for you

#

for someone that has 0 heirlooms

#

that task isnt what they want

hollow dock
#

Why not ask instead of assuming?

#

I've given a suggestion and you've just tried to shoot it down.

dense plover
#

i just dont understand why

#

more classes use leather than any other type of gear

#

so why cloth?

hollow dock
#

Because cloth can be worn by anyone.

#

So 1 set is all you'd need

dense plover
#

ok

#

thats a decent point

#

but i disagree with the time spent

hollow dock
#

that's perfectly fine.

dense plover
#

b/c in all liklihood, having the correct armor type makes it faster

terse plank
#

The problem is that scaling is reworked. You'll be crushed in the open world if you're levelling alone. Unless you're being carried the whole way through without having to lift a finger, cloth really isn't going to be the way for you.

#

Especially if they can't benefit from the stats. Like you can't even benefit from intellect at all on a demon hunter. At least a monk could, or a druid.

hollow dock
#

I've been leveling a monk with the full cloth set. (DPS) and I've not really had an issue killing stuff. I just am pacing myself a bit more.

terse plank
#

You could be doing so much better off by speccing MW and DPSing in MW spec at that point lol

dense plover
#

but that defeats the point of heirlooms

#

heirlooms make leveling faster and easier

hollow dock
#

Hierlooms just makes leveling faster. Which it does. Per quest Im getting more XP than normal.

dense plover
#

if your armor gives you nothing, the time you are taking is longer than using the correct type

sharp bluff
#

Cloth heirloom set was what I got first, I don’t regret it, all classes can wear it, so that priest I hate playing still can use it, where if I got plate it could not

hollow dock
#

^ that's the understanding I use.

terse plank
#

That's actually very arguable. IF you're killing things at a much slower rate because you're wearing inferior gear, the rate - especially now that things take longer to kill and actually require effort - you're massively slowing the speed you level.

dense plover
#

^

#

thats my logic

#

you are defeating most of the purpose of heirlooms

hollow dock
#

and that could be true, but that's not what I am currently feeling.

dense plover
#

have you finished an allied race yet?

hollow dock
#

I feel I am leveling at a still faster pace than normal (having only had to do 2 and a half legion zones to get 110)

dense plover
#

gotten it to 110?

terse plank
#

You could just be killing things faster with superior gear AND still gaining the same XP boost. There's no reason to hurt yourself in this fashion.

dense plover
#

#

other than being stingey

tulip sun
#

Why do I only lag on my demon hunter

dense plover
#

fast movement

#

more particle effects

#

turn down your settings

hollow dock
#

Mayhaps I am stingy because I dont have an infinite amount of gold to constantly spend on all my sets. Al the gold I make is towards getting the next month of gametime.

dense plover
#

shadows and SSAO are heavy hitters

#

turn those down

#

i dont either

sharp bluff
#

I don’t use my heirlooms post 90 ( only upgraded them once) but up to 90 cloth for all is my idea

dense plover
#

but i never make enough for a token

#

so i spend it

tulip sun
#

Like, not even doing anything lol. Just walking and trying to do a story mission

sharp bluff
#

I have all the heirloom armor though so idk

hollow dock
#

I always do. Otherwise I can't play the game (:

dense plover
#

i own all of the heirlooms that are purchasable

tulip sun
#

Vris

dense plover
#

one of each set is upgraded to 100

tulip sun
#

How

sharp bluff
#

Same Peach

hollow dock
#

So I stick with my cloth set.

dense plover
#

i dont even run raids

tulip sun
#

Gold is hard to get xD

dense plover
#

nope

#

order halls

#

jewelcrafting and getting lucky

hollow dock
#

I just run the cata raids. Makes 200k gold a month for me.

tulip sun
#

I still only get a few thousand at most a day

dense plover
#

if you craft the right version of the argus JC crown, you can charge 30-70k gold

sharp bluff
#

Mission table daily 200% success chance @tulip sun

tulip sun
#

I dont know anything about professions

hollow dock
#

I used to own the Obliterum market but sadly that's been botched.

sharp bluff
#

Do gold missions only

terse plank
#

I have like 500k just by selling junk I never needed on the AH

tulip sun
#

I have been trying to get all my alts to have their champs maxxed

#

But that is a tad difficult as well

terse plank
#

I'm not even trying to flip things or craft materials, just selling stuff

sharp bluff
#

I got the transmog Yak from mission table alone

hollow dock
#

If you have multiple 110s like me that are decently geared, have them run four of the six cata raids. its like 5-6k per character. Takes like a day or two to do for the ten characters I run them through.

meager warren
#

orly

torpid patio
#

sorry, i was busy finding the heirloom vendor, i bought the leather set for now, but i might get the cloth set too and upgrade it to 90-100 because i've never played a cloth class too

meager warren
#

cloth classes suck if you don't know how to play them

torpid patio
#

i dont think i know how to play any class at all

#

nothing to loose

meager warren
#

topkek

tropic trail
#

cloth classes aren't that hard to learn as long as you aren't boosting

dense plover
#

arcane mage is super easy to learn

#

and really strong when leveling

tropic trail
#

destro is pretty easy to learn aswell

#

imo anyway

hollow dock
#

IMO the best cloth class is Arcane mage. In terms of leveling since mana regen is so fast at lower levels and you can just one shot stuff with a super charged arcane blast.

torpid patio
#

I think my future void elf & nightborn are both going to be a cloth class

#

thinking about mage and pries

#

priest

uncut vault
#

void elf mage is fantastic to play

#

rift blink jukes are phenomenal

torpid patio
#

thats good to know, next char is a void elf mage

hollow dock
#

Void elf holy priest

#

that's what you should play to make people cry

torpid patio
#

is it super strong or super wrong (lore wise?)

meager warren
#

super wrong all the way

terse patrol
#

@hollow dock I’m playing one while leveling 😛

#

because dps is a pain to get into dungeons with

hollow dock
#

Essentially Dek, Light and Shadow cannot touch or mix

#

so having a Void infused being using Light magic makes people cry

sharp bluff
#

Think holy forsaken, but worse

hollow dock
#

Except holy forsaken makes sense

terse patrol
#

^

sharp bluff
#

I mean pain wise

hollow dock
#

cuz masochism exists.

terse patrol
#

Alonsus Faol blessed be his name

hollow dock
#

but yea. the Void elves shouldnt be able to use Light magic at all. Which is the joke

terse patrol
#

to put it in perspective

#

Alleria and Turalyon can’t even touch

hollow dock
#

Like the Lightforged being Shadow Priests.

terse patrol
#

I still wish they made Lightforged a bit more unique

gusty scaffold
#

But tbh. the whole priest subject is off hand. Shadow then holy etc.

terse patrol
#

Make Lightforged a bit rougher looking. Scars. Different, more aggressive stance/animations.

rich apex
#

Disc priests tho

#

🤔

hollow dock
#

enter Voidform from casting Holy spells

monkAS

terse patrol
#

dat extra healing tho @hollow dock

torpid patio
#

i have to go, unfortunally, thanks for all the great help and have a good night

hollow dock
#

have a great night

meager warren
#

"cuz masochism exists"
which is why i want to see undead paladins

#

also, on that topic, it's kinda ironic that lightforged draenei and void elves are on the same faction since they should, lore wise, hate each other

hollow dock
#

technically speaking Edgy, Lightforged don't actually -hate- void themselves.

meager warren
#

well no

#

but they're not excited about their existence

hollow dock
#

They aren't, but as seen in the Stormwind Church, they tolerate their existence. Doesn't mean they have to like it

sharp bluff
#

Ahh yes forsaken Paladins.... my dream since vanilla

meager warren
#

someone should make a rp featuring tolerance between LF draenei and void elves and potentially all the faction races as well

hollow dock
#

Im already doing that with some friends in my guild. Lightforged Goat Mage woman befriending a Void Elf Mage woman who saved her life. It's very fun to have these sort of interactions.

meager warren
#

"why would you save me?"
"What, are you offended?"
"Yes"

hollow dock
#

Basically

meager warren
#

topkek

uncut vault
#

whos ready for elune worshipping trolls

hollow dock
#

Yea already covered. There's nothing specifically stating its Elune, but it very well could be. Though elune is noted -seperate- from the rest of the Loa.

meager warren
#

Is Elune nature-related?

uncut vault
#

if balance druids are any indication, yes

#

plus their name translates to moon devoted

hollow dock
#

She's both. The balance of it all and that junk. The only reason why Im on the fence is because of the ceremonial robes that we find in Legion that specifically denotes Elune differently to other Loa.

meager warren
#

what's the difference between a loa and other gods tho
serious question btw

hollow dock
#

Well loa is a more blanket term to anything the Trolls worship

#

They -can- be gods but they could also just be Ancients like the Celestials or Malorne.

#

Even the Wisps in Ashenvale are considered Loa to the Trolls

meager warren
#

wouldn't Elune be a loa then

uncut vault
#

they could consider her a loa

#

but loas a very broad term

hollow dock
#

Yea like I said. Loa is just a general term.

#

Honestly Im more excited atm for the implications the Uuna questline.

#

has.

meager warren
#

has?

hollow dock
#

Yea! Do you remember the Puzzlebox of Yogg-saron?

meager warren
#

wat

#

no

hollow dock
#

it's an archeology artifact that is credited with predicting Y'shaarj, N'zoths location, N'yalotha, etc.

#

It has this one line that is seemingly unconnected to anything until now. There is a little lamb lost in the dark woods.

#

I believe that line references Uuna. As the 'dark place' we go to is a small clearing. Surrounded by what appears to be black colored Teldrassil/Darkshore trees.

meager warren
#

is Uuna a lamb tho

rich apex
#

I will be -highly- impressed if they were thinking of Uuna that early

#

Isn't the puzzle box from Wrath?

meager warren
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hollow dock
#

I think its more coincidences than anything Hyper

rich apex
#

Oh XD

hollow dock
#

but you can't deny that this Puzzle Box has had a LOT of lines that link up nearly perfectly with future events

#

Y'shaarj in Pandaria, N'zoth in the sea, N'yalotha, and now Uuna.

rich apex
#

Also fair

uncut vault
#

I mean of all the kids in azeroth to call a little lamb

#

draenei kids are the most fitting

gusty scaffold
#

wait a min. who`s uuna? 😛

hollow dock
#

Uuna is a small child that you can save from the 'Many Faced Devourer'.

#

She was used in its creation and her souls not resting properly. So you can go ahead and save her.

#

For nothing but the satisfaction of putting a childs soul to rest and all that. It's real wholesome.

terse patrol
#

@Healiux#6332 might want to get her now

tropic trail
#

don't you get her spirit as a pet?

terse patrol
#

before Legion ends

hollow dock
#

A non-combat battle pet yes.

tulip sun
#

Where is this quest

hollow dock
#

Its completely unmarked.

#

You have to get Uuna's doll from the Many Faced Devourer rarespawn and do emotes at her.

#

Not sure how you guys ended up missing it. o= Wowhead released a guide and it was all over the Secrets discord a few months back.

tulip sun
#

Ya

gusty scaffold
#

I havent been active lately so I missed alot of things :p

tulip sun
#

Idk lol

#

I really wanna do mythic gul'dan and Argus for those mounts...

dense plover
#

i dont know if its going away after legion

#

it will probably still exist wont it?

gusty scaffold
#

If people whine alot it will stay. The only aspect i really mislike about blizzard. They shouldnt allow complaints about rare unique stuff to go trough

dense plover
#

its not rare though

#

it just takes time

#

the mage tower appearances are rare

#

they make sense as limited

#

secrets that just take time shouldnt be limited

#

that just punishes people who have limited gameplay time

gusty scaffold
#

Yeah but it takes a certain effort. I got limited playtime. I find it cool to see armors or something ive never seen before because u got them from a card game :p

#

They make em cool because not everone gets them

dense plover
#

the point of uuna isnt the reward though

#

its the journey

#

thats the cool part

#

if the cool part for you is that only some people have it, thats not good

gusty scaffold
#

But hey. Not gonna argue. I do see ur point about uuna. That last didnt serve the topic right

dense plover
#

a thing should be cool because of how it works or looks

#

like the riddler's mindworm

#

its a cool mount

#

but its not rare

#

and i dont think its going away either

gusty scaffold
#

True

#

Well. The most rare thing in my life atm is sleep. So im gonna farm that. Gn peeps

neither alpha nor live realms are down for me

Can’t wait to see what horrors the Worgens do

And what the Velfs corrupt

tropic trail
#

why are worgen and velf doing bad things?

stray anchor
#

GREYMANE'S FORCES HELD THOSE WARDEN TOWERS. WE BROKE THEIR RANKS, SHOWED NO MERCY.

sharp bluff
#

Well I don’t see gnomes doing bad things

uncut vault
#

so far voldun is just horde doing more bad stuff

#

and vulpera being fine with it

#

though we dont have a lot of info

rich apex
#

broken laugh track

#

I mean

#

The Dark Irons summon a giant fireball

#

And use it to streamroll a hundred goblins in minutes

terse patrol
#

The Forsaken are also polymorphing tortured villagers into fish, just so they die of suffocation in the air.

#

but Sylvanas is just misunderstood guys

rich apex
terse patrol
#

Clearly this sadism is just the cost of war right

hollow dock
#

Clearly this is all required to win the war

#

The unforgiving slaughter of innocent civilians

dense plover
#

these are from mmo-champ, but they are too cool not to share

#

the second one is bad ass af

rich apex
#

'hello would you like to know more about our glorious tentacle god that definitely isn't n'zoth'

tulip sun
#

Guys

rich apex
#

'we are definitely not looking for a new sacrifice which ensures n'zoth's blessing to protect our ships at sea'

tulip sun
#

Why are you blaming the horrific ways the soldiers are killing civilians on Sylvanas?

#

It is not like she said give them terrible deaths

#

She just says kill them all

rich apex
#

in before N'zoth cultist infiltrators

tulip sun
#

These are orcs, trolls, etc., willingly doing this, not ordered to kill them brutally.

uncut vault
#

it isnt n'zoth

#

its a god/goddess called the tidemother

rich apex
#

Is there a way to kill someone not brutally

#

with an axe

uncut vault
#

not pinning them to a wall, playing target practice, choking the life out of them slowly, or bombing children is a start

rich apex
#

Saurfang: we must fight our enemies with HONOR

#

saurfang: steps up to a human that's half his size and reduces his skull to jelly

hollow dock
#

Because war crimes are war crimes

#

General of the army, the one who gives the orders, is just as guilty as the soldiers

#

Sylvanas is a shitty person. She's a villain. She's evil. We're fine with that. People don't like the horde being painted as savage barbarians though. For whatever reason

uncut vault
#

tfw been the literal noble savage analogy for 20 years, "whaaa why are we so savage?"

rich apex
#

Admittedly, I'm a little salty that Blizz seems to forget the noble bit

#

And Thrall's entire arc that parallel's the redemption of the orcs

#

But

#

Then I remember it's a dumb video game

#

And also The Golden Rule

#

get it

#

golden

sudden oak
#

that gave me a headache

terse patrol
#

Issue is

#

Horde players keep asking for warmongering leaders because it “feels cool.”

#

But then they cry when the Horde starts wars

#

They need to embrace being the asshole faction, or start asking for Baine.

tropic trail
#

Baine would make a good warchief tbh

#

And I also don't see where you see people complain about a warmongering leader, everyone I know has lived Sylvanas thus far

#

baine hasn't done anything ever tho.

rich apex
#

Give him time

tropic trail
#

like the only notable thing I can think of off the top of my head is that he warned jaina about the attack on theramore and told her to evacuate

rich apex
#

Shiny new model

tropic trail
#

true, maybe he'll do something

rich apex
#

Of course, it'll probably be Saurfang

#

Can't define the Horde beyond orcs, after all

tropic trail
#

I mean, the horde is kinda about orcs, "the horde" is an orc faction, the other races joined later

#

but yeah, kinda disappointed with the horde warfront armor, with sylv in charge they could've experimented with some cool forsaken armor styles, but instead we get spikes

rich apex
#

Eh, Warfronts are all about WC3 references

#

It was inevitable

tropic trail
#

yeah true

#

but with heritage armor for allied races and the warfronts being basically the human and orc equivalent, would be awesome to see racial armors for everyone

rich apex
#

Ion did say It Would Be Cool (TM)

wooden topaz
#

how to start a heated argument about allied races on the forums

#

say that horde are getting vulpera

restive axle
#

YES -

wooden topaz
#

or say alliance are getting vulpera

tropic trail
#

if they become an allied race, odds are they'll be horde, no matter how much I want them on alliance

restive axle
#

I'd love them to be horde qwq

sudden oak
#

since they are using the blight im quite sure they are horde aligned

uncut vault
#

give the conventional bodied one to horde, give alliance the monstrous race for once

tropic trail
#

but doesn't giving us kul tirans already do that?

uncut vault
#

I want alliance to have a fully monster race, not "oh btw i can be human any time I want lol"

#

kul tirans are bulky, but theyre certainly not monstrous

rich apex
#

I mean

#

If the fox people are using libht

#

blight

wooden topaz
#

what about draenai

rich apex
#

Sounds like they're the monstrous ones 😛

sudden oak
#

also if vulpera join the horde

#

sethrak are going to the alliance

#

sethrak are quite monstrous

tropic trail
#

I don't think sethrak will be playable, their heads are way too odly shaped, even by tauren standards

rich apex
#

I'm still iffy on Alliance sneks

#

Thematically and the lack of female models, etc

#

But who knows

#

Next alpha build could add something to suggest it more strongly

wooden topaz
#

I loved how alliance players when there was little data mined for them going to the horde area they said they were getting blood trolls

tropic trail
#

female snakes lol, what would that look like

rich apex
#

Not too different from male snakes, hopefully :|a

#

But

#

There'd still be a specific label in the files

#

Then again

tropic trail
#

that's my point, would be the first androgynous

rich apex
#

-Has- the base snek model been datamined?

#

I don'

#

Don't remember seeing it on the Wowhead posts

restive axle
#

what are the tortoise guys then?

#

i image-searched :'D

tropic trail
#

they hang out with the horde mostly I think

rich apex
#

Tortollan

or rather the trolls

restive axle
tropic trail
#

but I want to make ratchet in wow on alliance tho, stoopid jaina

rich apex

I want Horde Drust

restive axle
#

there are a lot of fan-pictures drawn with the sneks and alliance races

rich apex
#

Anything's possible

#

It's alpha

tropic trail
#

what if they threw a curve ball, and gave alliance an undead race as the vulpera counterpart? a faction of x race undead sent by bolvar to help his former faction

#

in the war to end all wars

restive axle
#

wherever the little foxies end up, definitely gonna make one :')

tropic trail
#

same

#

gonna have to finally level a hordey probably tho

rich apex
#

I will laugh if Bolvar rejoined the Alliance

restive axle
#

i'd need to level an alli :'D

tropic trail
#

I doubt he would, but I also doubt he's forgotten all loyalty to them

#

just baseless speculation tho that probably doesn't belong in the spoiler channel

uncut vault
#

inb4 darkfallen for the alliance

#

piss off both factions

restive axle
#

xD

tropic trail
#

darkfallen are the vampire belves right?

uncut vault
#

ya

tropic trail
#

I wouldn't hate it, but I see them being too visually similar to velfs

#

any non-playable race that shares a skeleton with an existing race is the limit right now it seems tho, so anything is possible

rich apex
#

oh lawlz

#

oh man

#

so much salt

#

vampire

#

elves

#

Either faction, really. Endless salt.

uncut vault
#

deprive the alliance of yet another helf chance, deprive horde of their not-sylvanas elves

tropic trail
#

I've seen some requests for undead elves horde side

#

there's no way we get through BfA without another undead race on horde tho

restive axle
#

world of elf-craft much? O.o

tropic trail
#

we're going to have 3 races of humans soon, elves will only have 1 more playable race

restive axle
#

hmm hmm, okay cursed humans true

#

at least the worgens count as "cursed" i guess?

rich apex
#

I'm still betting on Undead Elves

#

Just not in BFA

tropic trail
#

what about banshee or something? would be unconventional, but would also be interesting

#

instead of just pale, red eyed belves

sudden oak
#

banshee would have the same problems as the naga

#

no legs

uncut vault
#

I mean, banshees could be a worgen/void elf style thing

#

undead elf race with the ability to go into their banshee form

sudden oak
#

something like the entropic embrace racial?

ya

#

or an activatable racial

#

uncut vault

it doesnt have the intended texture, just a basic blue one

No textures means the mesh is bright green... do you see any of that... sure texture might not be finished but its mostly there

You talking about the cape?

good thing about druid is they always have at least one good spec

There’s a fifth old god shown in chronicle prove me wrong

#

N’zoth has a twin prove me wrong

cinder knoll
#

why proof something not proven is wrong?

hollow dock
#

So what's this fifth old gods name then?

cinder knoll
#

he has no name, its just an image in Chronicle, Pyro found it

hollow dock
#

Any of you have a link to said image?

cinder knoll
#

there is an art and there are all 4 old gods... and suddenly also 1 additional creature which looks like it belongs there

#

will link you a video sec

hollow dock
#

can I get a timestamp?

cinder knoll
#

ye sec

#

from here he start to show all 5 on the image

#

Cthun, Yogg, Y'saarj, NZoth and that 5. which look similar to NZoth

hollow dock
#

That looks like one of the Ancient Ones.

#

Certainly not an old god. Blizzard wouldn't re-write what they -just- put to canon a few months ago.

cinder knoll
#

Ye its possible its just some high rated minion, anyway, its interesting that it made an appearance on an art with all other old gods and no other minions

#

definitely a creature of high significance

hollow dock
#

IMO it's either an ancient one or they just drew it in so the corners wouldn't be empty.

cinder knoll
#

in that case I would rather take Cthun from the middle and put him also into the corner, so you have 4 corners and 4 old gods, so rather the ancient one or maybe Nzoth have more forms?

#

I guess we must wait, but its interesting

hollow dock
#

I really wish he didn't do it clickbaity

#

cuz now we're going to have -everyone- come in here with misleading information

cinder knoll
#

ye he just makes his titles look clickbaity, but the theories and explanations actually make sense, its interesting, even if most of it isnt true

hollow dock
#

he didn't even say it as a theory or speculation

#

he just flat out said 'Yea that's an Old God prove me wrong'

cinder knoll
#

well, all he does are theories

#

his channel is full of that, so he probably takes it as a premise

hollow dock
#

Have you scrolled down to the comments? People are ignoring that chronicles already canonized 4 old gods hitting Azeroth.

cinder knoll
#

well this guy here just came with idea you know 😄

strange falcon
#

that's an old god in the corner...... change my mind meme

cinder knoll
#

and ye, some of his followeres are taking his theories too seriously

#

some even as a fact

#

but thats not Pyros fault to be honest

hollow dock
#

Yes the people could be more responsible, but he could take a little more care and say 'heres what I think is an Old God, what do you guys think?' like every other good lore talker out there

cinder knoll
#

Im kind of person who likes theories, but I dont like when people try to present them like a fact

#

ye thats the way he use, all the hype about his every theory etc, hes really passionate about them

#

not the standard lore talker

strange falcon
#

Nobbel is the stereotypical lore talkers,then you have the enthusiastic speculation talker,and the calm speculation talker

hollow dock
#

I never said average or stereotypical. I said good.

cinder knoll
#

I think he didnt meant it offensively

terse patrol
#

@hollow dock I talk to him occasionally. He gets excited about his theories, but I don’t think he comes about it from a place of superiority.

hollow dock
#

I never said he did.

#

I just wish he would better emphasize rather than let people believe his word is gospel.

cinder knoll
#

I think this is up to people, if they look at the theorycrafter videos and suddenly start to think its no longer theories... its not the theorycrafters fault, he just wants to make good videos, to entertain people

hollow dock
#

It is when they dont say its a theory

cinder knoll
#

cmon, everyone who watches Pyro more than once knows everything he says are theories

hollow dock
#

That's not the point Max.

#

New people comign in and seeing it hear him just say 'Yea thats a fifth old god'

#

and then spread that

cinder knoll
#

you are right about this

terse patrol
#

I personally think there’s a fifth Old God, but I don’t think it’s G’huun. I’m still on the Xal’atath bandwagon, though I could very well be wrong.

hollow dock
#

and that's fine. I personally don't think there's a fifth natural old god because of what they just put into Chronicle. Even though Blizzard was known to rewrite lore, Chronicles was made -specifically- to stop that.

terse patrol
#

Just makes sense to me. The five torches, the five keys.

#

Why four old gods?

hollow dock
#

The five torches -Light their path-

#

Because Chronicles volume 1 specifically states 4 old gods arrived on Azeroth

cinder knoll
#

why not four? the fact that door has 5 locks doesnt mean there must be 5 treasures behind

hollow dock
#

Not 5.

terse patrol
#

Torches are made of wood, I personally think there’s five world trees, and the final one sunk with the Sundering.

hollow dock
#

The 5 keys/torches is most likely the 5 artifacts we get.

#

The tears of elune

#

The eye of aman'thul

#

The hammer of Khazgaroth

#

The shield

cinder knoll
#

Im with Vris on this one

terse patrol
#

Eh, we’ll see. I almost feel like the artifacts were a red herring.

hollow dock
#

Considering it lit the path to another sundering of Azeroth

#

which is what's enabled N'zoth to free himself from his prison

#

which if you remember from Xalatath, as we head into ToS, he's nearly free

cinder knoll
#

yeah thats what I was telling long time 😃

terse patrol
#

I think they five keys are the Dragon Aspects.

hollow dock
#

How do you think this?

cinder knoll
#

they are 5 😄

#

4 actually, there is no aspect of earth

terse patrol
#

The lord of ravens turning they key. Odyn never liked the Dragon Aspects being created.

hollow dock
#

maxi has a point

#

there's not 5 aspects anymore

terse patrol
#

Let me explain.

hollow dock
#

Then type it all out don't just say bits and bobs

terse patrol
#

Alright, fine.

#

So, in short. I think the creation of the dragon aspects had a dual purpose. Yes, they govern spheres of influence. But I think they also serve as parts of the prison system of the Old Gods. Each world tree except Teldrassil received the blessings of all five aspects. I think each tree that is destroyed loosens the chains on the old gods. As we stand, Malygos, Neltharion, and Ysera are dead. Nozdormu is likely soon to become Murozond. That means all that’s left is Alextrasza. Notice how during the End Times raid, the old gods have Deathwing impale himself on Wyrmsrest Temple. That wasn’t out of spite. That was because he was the last thing standing in their way from true release, now that the rest of the Aspects were dead. Thirdly, Odyn disagreed with the Aspects creation entirely. Now that he is free from the Halls of Valor, I think he’ll take his position back as Prime Designate, and upon learning of how every single Dragon Aspect save Alextrasza went insane, or will go insane, I think Odyn will “turn the key”, by killing Alextrasza in the hopes of pre-empting her (in his mind) inevitable fall to madness.

#

@hollow dock

hollow dock
#

My first issue is that only 2 of the 5 world trees were ever actually blessed.

dense plover
#

^

hollow dock
#

Secondly, Deathwing's impaling is described in the books. But his twilight dragons are free to roam. Neltharion is a tool, a means to an end. As I see it, and as its described, all the non-void creations must die.

dense plover
#

most of them were placed by fandral staghelm

#

and led to the emerald nightmare

#

the one in grizzly hills and the one in crystal song are the two biggest failures

hollow dock
#

Odyn didn't like the idea of leaving Azeroth's protection to the dragons. He didn't believe they were up to it or deserved it.

#

In which, Alexstrasza no longer is an aspect.

#

None of the aspects are.

terse patrol
#

Just because they lost their power, doesn’t mean their existence doesn’t still serve a purpose.

hollow dock
#

Theyre just normal dragons with only a shimmer of the titans power. She doesn't hold any more relevance as she sacrificed it to destroy deathwing.

#

In which this would mean Kalecgos is still relevant Honk

#

since he was the new Aspect of Magic

#

and Thrall

#

since he was the stand in of the aspect of earth

@hollow dock i can link the image

anyways

plain vigil
#

Sorry i’m juggling this discussion on 5 disc atm 😂

hollow dock
#

In which, since there are no more aspects, because mind you

#

The Aspects were -not- titan creation

#

they were empowered by the titans. Not created.

terse patrol
#

There’s a reason the Red Dragonflight has some focus in BFA imo, and Odyn’s back as well. I sincerely doubt the lord of ravens is Khadgar.

hollow dock
#

The reason is because the reds had a powerful red dragon.

#

that was dead.

#

and deathknights wanted it

#

that's the only reason they're even referenced

plain vigil
#

5 keys are the 5 old gods :3

hollow dock

That makes no sense.

#

The 5 keys open THEIR way. The 5 torches light THEIR path

plain vigil
#

😂

#

sarcasm

#

Can we all agree though... the lord of ravens is obvi bolvar

hollow dock
#

I personally believe the Lord of ravens is Illidan.

plain vigil
#

Illidad is a hawk not a raven

#

And sargeras is an eagle

#

In Norse mythology, Veðrfölnir (Old Norse "storm pale," "wind bleached", or "wind-witherer") is a hawk sitting between the eyes of an unnamed eagle that is perched on top of the world tree Yggdrasil. Veðrfölnir is sometimes modernly anglicized as Vedrfolnir, Vedfolnir or Vethrfolnir.

hollow dock
#

Ravens have been used to symbolize Light and Dark in our mythology. The good and the evil. The anti-hero essentially.

plain vigil
#

The hawk watches over the gods and is named closely to stormrage

#

In literature the raven is the embodiment of death

#

My theory is the key turning will be an entrance to the shadowlands

hollow dock
#

In Literature yes. In Mythology, not so much. Crows have been the embodiment of death, but Ravens have been both.

We can already enter the shadowlands Gand

There's nothing -to- the shadowlands. It's literally a greyscale version of Azeroth

Instead of the living, it has the dead wandering about

terse patrol
#

actually no

#

The Spirit Healer you meet in Legion says that the greyscale world is only CLOSE to the Shadowlands.

hollow dock
#

The Shadowlands (also called spirit world,[1][2][3] Shadow Lands,[4] ghost world,[5] spirit realm,[6] astral realm,[7] world of spirits,[8] world of spirit,[9] Other Side[10] spirit void[11] and underworld[12]) is the place where the spirits of some creatures go when they die,[13] and are nightmarish realms of decay between life and death.

plain vigil
#

No you’re wrong... the shadowlands is equal to the emerald dream, and those are trapped souls. The true dead just sease to exist

hollow dock
#

stop ignoring canon

plain vigil
#

That’s from pre chronicle 3 text...

terse patrol
#

Stop ignoring the Uuna questline

#

In game trumps old lore.

#

The greyscale world is simply a limbo state between life and the Shadowlands.

hollow dock
#

In World of Warcraft, the Shadowlands is identical to the material plane, with the only difference that in the Shadowlands the character can only be seen by other spirits.[13] The Spirit of Tony Two-Tusk describes the Shadowlands as all grey and dark, swirling clouds. While Uuna was in the Shadowlands,[15] she described it as dark and she was unable to see anything, though she could hear people interacting with her in the physical world. From within the Shadowlands she could see the light of the naaru A'dal who was in the physical world, but it was so bright that it scared her. The moonlight at Lake Falathim allowed her to see a friend in the physical world.

Stop ignoring lore.

Basically in HP Lovecraft’s books, The Shub-Niggurath births two twins. Nug and Yeb... Nug Birthed Cthulu. They are both described as black and red. They’re connected to two egyptian gods, one represents sky/space and the other earth/underworld. According to the lore, yeb would be the one involved with earth and the underworld, while nug, or n’zoth would be involved with pretty much the void. Nug is a god among ghouls, and chron3 describes nzoth to be amoung unnamed horrors... nug and Yeb were meant to prepair the way for the old ones, in wow’s case N’zoth and his twin preparing for the void lords arrival. Just a lot of connections. Not to mention their similarities in appearance to the emerald nightmare and the new drustivar and blood troll bfa zones... (red, black, tentacles) also it’s worth mentioning that they have shrines throughout the oceans. Thus i would say a connection to the relationship between n’zoth and the naga. (Gmorning)

You read that in like 5 seconds vris? 😂

cinder knoll
#

its cool ye, but you cant take it as a fact

hollow dock
#

I'm a very fast reader

#

here lemme disect it

#

First off, yes the Old Gods have their origins within Lovecraftian mythos

plain vigil
#

Do it please

hollow dock
#

But, they are not direct parallels

plain vigil
#

I’m here to be disected

hollow dock
#

This text block is stating they are direct parallels

#

which isn't true

#

Secondly

#

The Old Gods are not here to prepare for the Void Lords. None of them are.

#

The Old Gods purpose is to corrupt planets and hope to get a Titan Soul

plain vigil
#

For the void lords...

hollow dock
#

not preparing for their arrival

#

because the void lords can't appear in our reality

plain vigil
#

Btw you know cata was litterally n’zoth trying to make a rift to escape the shadowlands right?

hollow dock
#

they are incapable of doing so

plain vigil
#

I agree the part about prepping the arrival wasnt very connonicle

hollow dock
#

N'zoth was trying to free all the old gods and break open Azeroth. not make a rift.

plain vigil
#

No

hollow dock
#

The whole point of Hour of Twilight was kill everything so they could rise up from the ashes.

hollow dock
#

That's the whole plan

plain vigil
#

He literally made a rift to allow the elemental lords and himself out

#

It’s stated in chronicle 3

hollow dock
#

Which clearly didn't work for him because he's still imrpsioned

#

as of Legion

plain vigil
#

Correct

hollow dock
#

but somehow the elemental lords

#

that are summoned from the elemental planes

#

went into the shadowlands

#

Right

plain vigil
#

Because we used the dragons oul to kill deathwing

#

No, they didnt go into the shadowlands lmao

hollow dock
#

You just said he did it so they could escape.

plain vigil
#

They were let out of their little elemental pocket dimensions

hollow dock
#

They could already get summoned out. Deathwing summons Ragnaros and creates a portal-keep to the Firelands.

plain vigil
#

But they are still controlled... this gave them free reign

#

To leave whenever

hollow dock
#

When they were summoned out they had free will what

#

Look at what Ragnaros did to the Dark Iron Dwarves

plain vigil
#

He was still bound to the mountain...

#

Hence having to awaken him

hollow dock
#

He was bound to the plane of fire. Which he still -is- in cata.

#

Hence why he got sent back there and had to be killed there

plain vigil
#

It’s like summoning a demon into a pentagram. They are confined to that space only

#

Correct that’s my point

#

The fissure was supposed to open the elemental plains

#

And it was sucessful

#

But the shadowlands wasnt opened up well enough

hollow dock
#

So then if they were free of the elemental planes

plain vigil
#

Hense the skybox in the shaman order hall

hollow dock
#

Why did Ragnaros not appear anywhere?

#

If hecould roam freely out of the planes, wouldn't he I dunno

plain vigil
#

Because he knew he was “safe “ in his throne

hollow dock
#

be burning down hyjal?

plain vigil
#

Its litterally stated in chron vol 3

#

He sent his lacky’s to try and burn it down

hollow dock
#

and what about the other elemental lords? Why had they never left the planes knowing if they got killed there, they're dead for good?

#

Why would they sit in the one place theyre weakest?

plain vigil
#

They were just as trapped, and they were strongest in their plane, not weakest

hollow dock
#

Considering they can perminately die

#

Id say weakest.

plain vigil
#

Hense why neptulon can roam free now in legion

#

N’zoth tried to free himself, it didnt work well enough, but he continues his plan using the elemental lords...

#

The wind and fire lords to be exact

#

So no, n’zoth is not on our plane of azeroth

#

And in response to parallels between the twins and n’zoth and the new guy? Well, the black goat on azeroth, Xavus, was directly influenced by N’zoth, meaning N’zoth has similarities to the mother of Nug. Not to mention Nug represents sky/space, and if N’zoth dwells in the shadowlands, that can be seen as sky/space/void. He’s the Old god of void. And then you have the twin Yeb, who is the old god of earth/ the underworld, which fits with N’zoth. So there’s two options, N’zoth could be seperated to a physical body, and a shadowland body, kinda like how onyxia split varian. Or N’zoth has a twin, or similar sibling that is of the earth and has influence in kul tiras. One is influencing the events of the drust, while the other is influencing the events of the sea priests...

#

Also, from the WC2 cover , of which this expansion get’s it’a name, the battle continues on land, on sea, then on air.

#

Air being the shadowlands, thus N’zoth

#

@hollow dock dissect this if you wouldn’t mind.

#

It also could be said that if wow does run on dualities, illidad and momfurion are the twins born of light. So having two twins of the void would make sense? No?

dense plover
#

To be clear

#

They were trapped

#

Then they were freed

#

But only rag and al akir went after the mortals at the old gods behest

#

Therazane just wanted to protect deep holm after deathwing almost destroyed it

#

And neptulon was busy dealing with the naga

#

Air is not the shadowlands

#

The shadowlands is the undeath version of the emerald dream

#

It is an alternate plane

#

The plane of air already exists

#

It’s a dungeon and raid above uldum

sharp bluff
#

Don’t the monks visit the air plane? To get the dps artifact?

hollow dock
#

Alrightlets get to disecting.

#

The Black Goat was another name for the Great Old One that Y'shaarj is based off of and is infact referenced to be Y'shaarj through the Puzzle Box of Yogg-saron. Have you had the dream again? The black goat with seven eyes watches from outside

All the old gods are of the Void. They are born of it. The Old Gods themselves do not actually hold any reigns, it's just their preference for corruption. N'zoth is about mental anguish (Deathwing, Azshara, etc) Y'shaarj is about emotional Anguish (The Sha, Pandaren, Mogu, Mantid etc) C'thun actually hasnt been touched enough to see what he prefers to corrupt and Yogg-saron is about physical anguish (Saronite, the Saronite Mines, touch makes one go insane etc.) If anything, Yogg-saron peers through timelines and is just about everywhere.

Secondly, the Sea Priests. N'zoth wouldn't attack itself. They did so during the Black Empire but now they'd see each other as distractions, not open war targets. The sea priests worship something similar to N'zoth but isn't actually N'zoth. It looks lovecraftian in nature like the Old Gods, but it also somewhat resembles those ancient snail-like creatures from Vash'jir.

All the Old Gods are seperate from their physical bodies. They exist in many different parts, failsafes if you will, to continue their corruption. Yogg-saron wasn't pushed back successfully until we destroyed its mind and forced it back that way. C'thun wasn't pushed back until the shell that erupted was defeated. Y'shaarj was finally killed when his heart was exausted. So on so fourth.

Malfurion and Illidan were not twins born of Light. They weren't even twins. They were brothers. Illidan's birth was special, solely because he was blessed with golden eyes. Nothing about the Light there other than his eyes, which many others had but had great destinies to attain. Malfurion was born without these features.

the cycle repeastes over and over again, it's in cannon, it's in game, and it's uin chronicle

hollow dock
#

Except no where does it state that

#

iit's all an interpretation of an interpretation

plain vigil
#

no, its cannon XD

hollow dock
#

Show me in chronicles where it says this cosmology map is a representation of the cycle.

#

and that it goes in the exact order you just said.

#

Because Fel is suddenly apart of religion but Light isn't.

cinder knoll
#

also religion doesnt really have anything to do with Light...

plain vigil
#

explain what the light is then?

stray anchor
#

more like creation -> destruction?

plain vigil
#

@cinder knoll

hollow dock
#

Light is a force in the universe that combats the Shadow

#

that's it

#

that's all it is

#

We built a religion -around- it

cinder knoll
#

well, Light is a force... problem is with religion, it tries to explain Light with some stories and "Gods"

plain vigil
#

what's the leading cause of wars?

cinder knoll
#

but in the end, everything is just some creature or force

hollow dock
#

In Azeroth?

#

Racism

plain vigil
#

in azeroth and the world...

hollow dock
#

Racism

#

that and greed

plain vigil
#

and what is that racism based off of?

hollow dock
#

Greed.

plain vigil
#

no

hollow dock
#

Ye

#

"I want what that guy has. But I need to create a reason to do it"

plain vigil
#

divine supremacy, the idea that your god made you to be better than the rest....

hollow dock
#

Except that's not what the Light is

#

nor is why there's a galactic war in the firstplace

plain vigil
#

the light is a force

cinder knoll
#

what Draenei have is not religion, yet they are very light sensitive and cooperate with Naaru

hollow dock
#

^

plain vigil
#

worshiped in different ways by many cultures

cinder knoll
#

and thats the reason why they dont need religion, they know Naaru and how things work

hollow dock
#

And none of them

#

war

#

at all

cinder knoll
#

religion is a stupid explanation of something you dont understand

hollow dock
#

for the reasons of light

#

None of them war. For the reasons of religion.

plain vigil
#

draenai are not of azeroth though, they are mono cultured

hollow dock
#

none of them war.

#

The draenei do not fight the Legion because they think their religion is superior

#

they war with the Legion to -save the universe-

#

We do not fight the horde because we think we're better, we do it for -survival-

plain vigil
#

lol exactly you think the dezidens of azeroth understand the light?from what we saw on argus they obviously dont...

#

the drenai fight for survival

#

the legion gives the guise of superiority

hollow dock
#

They fought to save the universe. They ran for survival.

cinder knoll
#

Just remember what happened when Velen suggested that Elune could be a Naaru, some creature, Tyrande went nuts because it would ruin their religion about a Goddes

plain vigil
#

its the very reason why kiljaden join, they wanted divine superiority...

hollow dock
#

It doesn't. It's not even a religious base group

#

its a MILITARY.

#

Kil'jaeden and Archimonde joined for POWER

#

not RELIGION

plain vigil
#

divine power.... fel power.... a power greater than what they previosuly knew... they wanted to be divine.

#

they wante to rule over all

hollow dock
#

That's not divine

#

at all

plain vigil
#

thus divinity

hollow dock
#

that's G R E E D

#

Wanting to do anything is G R E E D. It has nothing to do with religious beliefs

plain vigil
#

greed is a part of it... but it was the need to be more powerful than others...

hollow dock
#

Greed is the basis of it.

#

Wanting to gain more power is GREED

plain vigil
#

they wanted to be the best, the most divine

stray anchor
#

Hunger for power

plain vigil
#

empowerd by sargeras himself

hollow dock
#

it does not state this ANYWHERE. WHERE are you getting this?

plain vigil
#

the argus campaigne...

hollow dock
#

I am stating what has already been stated in the canon multiple times. Archimonde and Kil'jaeden joined hte Burning Legion for MORE POWER. Because they were PROMMISED SO MUCH POWER.

plain vigil
#

when they discuss why and how archimonde and kiljaiden accepted the fel

hollow dock
#

NOT to out do Velen or the Light

stray anchor
#

So are the old gods divinely powerful in that sense?

#

(I disagree that power = divinity)

plain vigil
#

what @stray anchor XD

hollow dock
#

Like. Apply this thought process to the rest of Warcraft then Gandem

#

Did the orcs want divine power over everything?

#

Did the Shivarra? The doomguards?

#

How about Illidan? Did he want Divine power?

stray anchor
#

"I. AM. A. GOD." <- elf from Magister's Terrace as he embraces fel magic for power. Power doesn't mean divinity, it just means might.

plain vigil
#

no, the orcs wanted survival. they were also cursed with bloodlust.

cinder knoll
#

also, you are missing the point of what divine power is...

hollow dock
#

Because in each instance it is 'HUNGER AND GREED FOR POWER'

cinder knoll
#
WoWWiki

The divine (aka divine magic) are forms of magic on faith in gods or spirits. Most of the divine beings of Azeroth (known as Eternals) are distant entities. They exist to assist those caught in...

plain vigil
#

illidan literally wanted to not be divine

hollow dock
#

So then

#

Why would he join Sargeras? If he didn't want divine power?

#

He was promised the exact same things as Archimonde and kil'jaeden

stray anchor
#

Cross out divine from that question

hollow dock
#

and accepted it faking for those reasons

stray anchor
#

He wanted power

plain vigil
#

because the light was trying to make him divine, and thus a war tool

hollow dock
#

Yes

#

LATER

#

IN LEGION

#

TEN THOUSAND YEARS LATER

#

Also maxi don't use wowwiki

#

it is horribly out of date.

plain vigil
#

litterally the whole point of this theory is that because sargeras saw the past atemps at azeroth, and the titan's constant loss, he created the burning legion SO illidad wouldnt become the divine power of light, thus braking the cycle and putting balance to the world.

#

look at the whyspers./ they talk of things as if they've happened before... because they have

hollow dock
#

Excepct

#

that is 100%

#

W R O N G

plain vigil
#

nothing is 100% love

hollow dock
#

He made the burning legion CANONICALLY because of the VOID LORDS.

#

that is 100% fact

#

He wanted to wipe out the universe to prevent it from being claimed by the Void Lords.

plain vigil
#

-_- you're litterally stating my points an d saying im wrong

#

THATS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY

hollow dock
#

: litterally the whole point of this theory is that because sargeras saw the past atemps at azeroth, and the titan's constant loss, he created the burning legion SO illidad wouldnt become the divine power of light, thus braking the cycle and putting balance to the world.

#

what you have stated here

#

is wrong

#

he did not create the burning legion for these reasons

#

The titans did not constantly lose.

plain vigil
#

in the past cycles of the universe the vpoid always wins... he created the burning legion to attempt at stopping it

hollow dock
#

He had 0 knowledge of the Light's doings. He had only known of the Void and the horrors in it

#

Again Gandem, there's nothing stating that

plain vigil
#

why do you think we always seem to win? why dont the heroes of azeroth ever fail? we have... and the universe has reset everytime

hollow dock
#

because this universe hasn't actually 'completed' a cycle that we know of

#

Because we have something called PLOT ARMOR

plain vigil
#

but it has, the old gods state that....

hollow dock
#

we -can't- lose because if we ever lose, we dont have a game

strange falcon
#

PLOT ARMOR WOOOOOOOOO

hollow dock
#

I garuntee if this universe was solely existing in book or comic form

plain vigil
#

we have lost thats my point

hollow dock
#

We'd be losing -at all-.

#

Like in Marvel or DC. Where universes are constantly wiped out and created over and over and over again.

plain vigil
#

it's like the matirix

#

the ending

#

you see how many times neo has failed

#

until eventually he gets it right

hollow dock
#

That's not how Matrix ends.

strange falcon
#

you can see how many times you have failed in bioshock infinite's opening too 😄

hollow dock
#

that's not even how their cycle ends.

dense plover
#

vris

#

dont argue with this person

#

just block and move on

#

also

#

there are only 4

hollow dock
#

Pyro stated theres 5 because of the art in Vol 3.

#

Since there's an unknown tentacly being in the top corner.

dense plover
#

according to several interviews and the blizzcon announcement ghuun is an experiment gone wrong

#

and the art is just that

hollow dock
#

so its got everyone in a fizz.

dense plover
#

art

#

lemme guess

#

you got this "idea" from the same youtuber who said argus is the titan of death right?

#

just a wild guess

hollow dock
#

Yes that's Pyro.

dense plover
#

yeah

#

he is an idiot

plain vigil
#

here you go

dense plover
#

we should have that pinned

plain vigil
#

this is waht i'm talking about

hollow dock
#

He showed the art in Vol 3 right Peach

dense plover
#

yeah

hollow dock
#

and in the top corner, there's a new tentacly and he openly stated 'thats a fifth old god'

#

and now everyones believin him

dense plover
#

Pyro is a lore noob, he makes inferences as fact and bases his "knowledge" on art and other nothings

plain vigil
#

peach blocking doesnt solve anything XD we can have a stable oconvo without having later issues

dense plover
#

everything he says is wrong

#

arguing anything by agreeing with pyro's predictions is factually wrong

#

pyro is wrong

strange falcon
#

m8,arguing with preach is worse

plain vigil
#

lol

dense plover
#

he doesnt make predictions he makes clickbait that seriously hinders the lore community

#

look

#

if you want lore

#

listen to nobbel

plain vigil
#

this isnt even an argument about pyro

dense plover
#

he is the only large youtuber with credibility

#

pyro has negative credibility

#

its the source of the argument

plain vigil
#

we know 100% that ther e IS a 5th old god, and it's either g'huun or another unseen one

dense plover
#

your knowledge is based on his bullshit

cinder knoll
#

oh god 😄

hollow dock
#

Ghuun isn't a true old god.

dense plover
#

no

hollow dock
#

He is an experiment

#

there is no 5th old god

dense plover
#

there is only 4 old gods

#

its stated as a fact in volume 1

#

of chronicles

#

so no

cinder knoll
#

we know for 100% that there is a tentacly creature on the art with 4 other old gods, THATS ALL WE KNOW

hollow dock
#

Chronicles vol 1 specifically states that 4(four) landed on Azeroth

dense plover
#

there is no 5th old god

rustic mountain
#

@hollow dock you still have a Santa hat on your image, does that not bother you every time you see your avatar image? 😅

hollow dock
#

what maxi said

#

No. Because I dont look at my avatar

plain vigil
#

man the wow lore community is just as toxic as christian demoniations at this point XD

hollow dock
#

I use IRC mode

dense plover
#

you are saying art = fact

#

the lore community is fine

#

as long as bullshit isnt stated as fact

plain vigil
#

art in a book of lore = fact yess....

dense plover
#

then we get hostile

hollow dock
#

Art isn't fact or truth

dense plover
#

because people who state lore as fact are stubborn as mules

hollow dock
#

it's expression. Interpretation.

dense plover
#

art isnt fact

hollow dock
#

That isn't truth.

plain vigil
#

mr peach speculation isnt stating facts...

cinder knoll
#

ye but you have no description what is on that art...

dense plover
#

the art interpretations are literally specified as not fact

plain vigil
#

speculation is for fun

hollow dock
#

Fine speculate

dense plover
#

it was stated by a dev

hollow dock
#

but dont state it as fact.

dense plover
#

^

#

you said and i quote "we know for a fact there is a fifth old god"

#

when we know for a fact there are only 4

plain vigil
#

it may appear as if i'm stating facts, but it's all speculatiuon. yall should know that by now

hollow dock
#

We don't.

rustic mountain
#

I thought there was only 4?

dense plover
#

there are only 4

hollow dock
#

Exactly Bow. there is only 4.

dense plover
#

factually

hollow dock
#

The '5th' is 100% speculated.

plain vigil
#

and yes we do know there is a 5th old god, it's stated in bfa questingh

dense plover
#

ghuun is stated as an old god in cutscenes
