8.3 dragon isles. If not Mulgor.

#

Introduce more tinker stuff, recruitment of Junkers and vulpera

dense plover
#

Mulgor?

plain vigil
#

I could see us getting a Mulgor warfront, but it's horde and alliance vs sylvanas

dense plover
#

Oh I mean

#

I think a barrens warfront is still likely

#

That zone needs to be redone so bad

plain vigil
#

Not so sure about barrens concidering the dwarf vs Tauren died won't continue in 8.3

dense plover
#

Could always rebuild theramore and make it huge

#

Probably not though

plain vigil
#

However, a warfront where we defend mulgor is highly plausible. Especially since 1 Mulgor is so open it would take no time to revamp, and 2 the arathi assets can be reused for Mulgor.

dense plover
#

Or could make it about defending the gates to Mulgore in the barrens

plain vigil
#

Yes that's true I guess

dense plover
#

Mulgore revamp is dangerous

#

People love that zone

plain vigil
#

It's literally just updating building and tree models

#

And the skybox and the grass texture

#

Like Mulgor is textbook reskin easy update

#

It also would explain the weird boar content in Kul'tiras. It was an excuse to update their models for Mulgor as a way to reduce waste/increase efficiency

dense plover
#

Uh

plain vigil
dense plover
#

Quilboar are mainly the barrens my dude

#

They’re barely in Mulgore

#

That’s such a tiny part of the zone

#

Barrens near camp taurajo makes more sense

tropic trail
#

Better lightbound Undeads for Alliance with Calia as leader then having the chance that this Alliance bitch is becoming the leader of the Forsaken

dense plover
#

And needs way more work

plain vigil
#

Quilboar have been a major part of Tauren starting zones since vanilla. Yeah it's a tiny part, but it's part of the Tauren upbringing

dense plover
#

I don’t think that’s gonna happen either tilted

plain vigil
#

Tauren is to Quilboar as Human is to Gnoll

tropic trail
#

Well something will happen with Calia anyway, since she is going to be in the next xpac 100%

sullen dawn
#

I think it's going to be war campaign related @dense plover

plain vigil
#

Shadowlands leak plz be true so my predictions early X-Pac are right

sullen dawn
#

/sylvanas focused

tropic trail
#

8.3 can be bouth, dragon/Nzoth and Sylvanas focused

sullen dawn
#

true

tropic trail
#

since Sylvanas has anyway somehow a connection to Nzoth because of the dagger

plain vigil
#

Idk I don't think dragon isles is coming just yet

sullen dawn
#

same

#

but i cant say that with certainty

#

im also thinkinglesss and less 9.0 is old world revamp

#

it just feels like a 10.0 thing

#

hope im wrong

#

but one more high concept (probably void/death split theme) before a revamp is likely

#

have 10.0 act like a power level reset/reorigination

plain vigil
#

Well the most "accurate" leak so far has 9.0 slated as Shadowlands. When we return the world is revamped in 10.0 sooo

sullen dawn
#

yes thats how i feel too

#

even if the leaks not real, that kind of thing feels right

plain vigil
#

Which is what I said over a year and a half ago

#

which noone believed me

sullen dawn
#

😉

#

azeroth is born end of 9.0

#

planet goes bye bye

#

titans reoriginate it

#

everythings different

tropic trail
#

Dragon Isles will come. 8.3 or more likely next xpac

#

there is no way its gonna be a 10.0 thing

sullen dawn
#

sure, i just think its a 9.x zone

tropic trail
#

it was already hinted with wrathion

plain vigil
#

"You're crazy Gandem" "You have no proof Gandem" "N'zoth won't bring back the old gods in BFA Gandem" "this expansion is Faction themed Gandem" "we won't get any more animal updates after hyenas Gandem" "warfront armor isn't racially themed Gandem" ... See where I'm going here?

sullen dawn
#

Also if Shadowlands is real

#

ARTHAS baby

tropic trail
#

oh no, Arthas should stay dead

sullen dawn
#

he can

zealous basalt
#

Arthas ceased to exist

sullen dawn
#

hes undead/ghost in shadowlands in my speculation

zealous basalt
#

Why dont you understand that?

sullen dawn
#

retcon baby

plain vigil
#

Arthas is in the sword and helm. He ain't coming back. But Don't be surprised if we revisit all of our old foes from the past 15 years

zealous basalt
#

Thata how you get rid of Wotlk

sullen dawn
#

Arthas returning hype = most important than a perceived/not fully explained lore point from 10 years ago

#

at least from blizz's perspective

zealous basalt
#

It was explained

#

If you didnt put attention that was your issue

sullen dawn
#

I did/do

plain vigil
#

If we do get another warfront btw the theme would be Darkspear Vs Dreanai. As they're the only race left without any BFA racial armor. Else we'll be getting Heratage sets for them.

zealous basalt
#

But if you did the entirely of Icecrown you shall realize by now that Arthas and Ner'zhul merged to create the LK entity

plain vigil
#

Not true

sullen dawn
#

They both still existed

#

Makore you've got that wrong

dense plover
#

No they don’t

#

You literally don’t understand what you did

zealous basalt
#

Which now resides/struggles to be controlled by Bolvar

plain vigil
#

Arthas's soups is constantly being tortured in the blade

dense plover
#

You fought a vision in the swords

sullen dawn
#

In fact, I believe Arthas 'won'/ate Ner'zhul

dense plover
#

He didn’t

zealous basalt
#

Neither won

plain vigil
#

Mr Peach.... PREACH

dense plover
#

What you believe isn’t what the lore says

#

So it doesn’t matter

#

They don’t retcon stuff because you believe it

zealous basalt
#

As i said

#

If they retconned that it was as if Icecrown quests/ICC never existed

#

And makes the lore messy again

sullen dawn
#

You'll have to prove that to me. My memory is a bit foggy but I remember hearing strong arguments that Arthas was the domiment force in the end

#

even as 'the lich king'

#

Plus it's not that important. From a lore point yes, but if Blizz want Arthas on marketing materials that matters more

plain vigil
#

Then he died Toby

sullen dawn
#

Yes

#

As did varian who shadowlands leak said we meet

plain vigil
#

And in legion you find Arthas's soul trapped in the sword being tortured by Ner'Zul for eternity

zealous basalt
#

...we are speculated thanks to...a leak?

sullen dawn
#

Yes!

zealous basalt
#

When have leaks become true....

plain vigil
#

No

sullen dawn
#

The entire point of this conversation started with 'IF shadowlands leak is real...'

#

the entire conversation exists within that context

zealous basalt
#

...who started this leak?

plain vigil
#

We're discussing if the leak is realistic or not based on what we see in game

sullen dawn
#

I said...

zealous basalt
#

Please dont say bellular

plain vigil
#

Pyromancer did a vidya

sullen dawn
#

''Also if Shadowlands is real
ARTHAS baby''

zealous basalt
#

facepalms

plain vigil
#

Lmao

sullen dawn
#

IFFFFF

#

i dont actually believe the leak

tropic trail
#

Arthas is right now in the same place where Sylvanas where when she died from suicide

#

suffering, his soul getting tortured

plain vigil
#

No

#

Tilted

#

No

tropic trail
#

Yes

#

100%

#

yes

plain vigil
#

Arthas is in the sword

tropic trail
#

there is no doubts

zealous basalt
#

Not counting that if we consider that his soul was in the sword

tropic trail
#

it is stated in the short story of Sylvanas

plain vigil
#

Sylvanas was not bound to the sword

zealous basalt
#

Then it is destroyed

#

Honda

#

If Arthas resided in the soul is far gone now

sullen dawn
#

Either way, he exists in some way. Or at the least there's no confirmation his soul is gone

zealous basalt
#

As if we all remember

sullen dawn
#

At that level, putting his face on a box is a bigger factor

zealous basalt
#

All artefacts became useless minus Xal that even so got dormant

tropic trail
#

Sylvanas met Arthas himself in the place she were after she died

plain vigil
#

Ummm which death?

zealous basalt
#

Gods i would wish Des was here

tropic trail
#

I can even quote that if you want

#

the suicide death

zealous basalt
#

When she killed herself in ICC

plain vigil
#

Cause Arthas was alive when she committed self die

zealous basalt
#

After the raid

tropic trail
#

^

#

what???

plain vigil
#

Oh that was after the raid?!?

zealous basalt
#

Literally she looked at him

#

Was like "now what i do"

plain vigil
#

That all makes a lot more sense now

tropic trail
#

Arthas died, he got killed off

#

Bolvar took his place

zealous basalt
#

"Time to commit sodoku"

#

She threw herself from the spire

plain vigil
#

Either way Makore just watch a bit of that video

zealous basalt
#

Into the blades

tropic trail
#

Sylvanas called him a son of a bitch, then some minutes later she did suicide

dense plover
#

Let’s end this convo - shadowlands peak sounds like bullshit

#

Probably derived from Jainas vision in Throa

#

Thros

#

Since those two NPCs are in that cutscene

zealous basalt
#

I am not going to kill my brain cells more watching "leaks"

dense plover
#

^^^

#

Leaks are worthless especially when they sound like they’re written by someone who doesn’t know lore

sullen dawn
#

well they're fun

zealous basalt
#

I have better things to do like waiting for the 8.2.5 ptr so we can actually speculate on things that WILL Happen

sullen dawn
#

not much more

dense plover
#

Variant isn’t in the shadowlands

zealous basalt
#

They arent fun and simply confuse the population more

sullen dawn
#

they are to me

#

if you can talk about them without treating them seriously

dense plover
#

And again, 8.3 is probably dragon isles. They’ve been heavily diving in to dragon lore

sullen dawn
#

and realising they prolly wont happen

dense plover
#

This is a place where we treat lore seriously my dude

sullen dawn
#

they give insight into possible game directions

dense plover
#

No they don’t

#

They give insight into fan concepts

sullen dawn
#

it's a place where YOU treat the lore seriously

zealous basalt
#

Leaks doesnt...make sense at all

#

Its a place where we all treat this seriously

sullen dawn
#

i like the lore don't get me wrong, but i also enjoy leak speculation

dense plover
#

Everyone here except you treats the lore seriously

sullen dawn
#

i do...

zealous basalt
#

There is a place for leak speculation

sullen dawn
#

just not in the context of leaks

zealous basalt
dense plover
#

^^^

sullen dawn
#

then why were people chatting about future expansions and allied races?

#

and world revamps?

dense plover
#

Especially since the leaks have no credence and feel unrealizable

#

It’s based on current game data

sullen dawn
#

world revamp is based on current game data?

zealous basalt
#

Because uh thats based on what we find in the datamining?

dense plover
#

IE barrens warfront was planned and in the first patch data wise

#

But wasn’t finished

#

It never was

zealous basalt
#

And probably it got scrapped

dense plover
#

So it’s still speculated as a future possibility

sullen dawn
#

i know all that, but you're creating imaginary lines

dense plover
#

No, warfront zones get revamped

sullen dawn
#

I see rampont speculation not related to game data all the time in ehre

dense plover
#

That’s what we were talking about

#

Not entire world revamp

sullen dawn
#

no ive seen other stuff

dense plover
#

Individual zones

#

Yes some people talk about it

plain vigil
zealous basalt
#

Also the zone revamp can lead to a future total revamp if they make them relevant

dense plover
#

And it’s easily dismissed because there is no evidence

#

And then the convo moves on

#

When there is no evidence, some opinions are given and then the convo moves on

sullen dawn
#

the convo moves on every 20 messages tbh

plain vigil
#

Moving on from this... Darkspear Heratage quest.... Thoughts?

dense plover
#

It doesn’t return to the “what if”

#

Which you keep trying to go back to

sullen dawn
#

i haven't seen that as a hard as fast rule peach

#

*and

zealous basalt
#

Welcome to Ptr spoilers channel

dense plover
#

I don’t know which heritage is next

zealous basalt
#

And honestly

dense plover
#

Goblin and worsen are first

#

Worgen

zealous basalt
#

Be glad that a member called des left

dense plover
#

After that?

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sullen dawn
#

i have been here for 18 months 😛

#

but sure

zealous basalt
#

I think human and orc will be the last

sullen dawn
#

well ye

dense plover
#

I don’t expect them this expac even

plain vigil
#

Peach darkspear and Dreanai are the only ones left

sullen dawn
#

seems like warfront sets cover the races who havent got heritage yet

dense plover
#

^

#

Which means nelf human, forsaken, and orc are least likely

plain vigil
#

Nelf Undead Orc and Human already got racial sets #peachdidntbelivemewhenIcalledthatone

sullen dawn
#

ye, i do think theyll get them eventually

#

just not as a priority/not in this expansion maybe even

plain vigil
#

Again the only races left are Darkspear, Pandaren, and Dreanai

sullen dawn
#

for racial sets yeh

#

not for heritage

dense plover
#

Maybe Draenei and uh

plain vigil
#

For Heratage you dingus

sullen dawn
#

cos bare in mind heritage gives questlines too

#

no need to be rude you spa

dense plover
#

I guess darkspear would be next

plain vigil
#

Dingus is playful rude

dense plover
#

Draenei and Darkspear

sullen dawn
#

darkspear/draenei ye

plain vigil
#

Darkspear, Bwomsamdi questline

dense plover
#

Probably not imo

plain vigil
#

Ummm

zealous basalt
#

Why bwon if you have voljin

plain vigil
#

Bwomsamdi is literally the darkspear's god

dense plover
#

I think it would finish out the Voljin stuff

night swift
#

^^

sullen dawn
#

pllzzzz bwomsamdi 😄

zealous basalt
#

Nein

dense plover
#

Maybe officially anoint him as a low

#

Loa

dull flame
#

😄 oh another fake reddit post

zealous basalt
#

Vol jin could become a new loa tbh

dull flame
#

it does look great on paper tho

#

nice pic too

sullen dawn
#

link?

night swift
#

I thought he was from the questline

plain vigil
#

All Darkspear are bound to Bwomsamdi on death.... Yes Vol'jin is probably going to be part of the quest but Bwomsamdi will definitely be a big part of their Heratage

sullen dawn
#

oh that one..

dull flame
#

new class had me totaly

sullen dawn
#

yeh weve seen that

plain vigil
#

@dull flame scroll up you muppet

dull flame
#

😄

#

i saw it

#

but toby asked for link

sullen dawn
#

i got assaulted cos of it 😛

dull flame
#

xD

night swift
#

Alright now we insulting

sullen dawn
#

cos you said 'new'

dull flame
#

it is new for me

#

i mean its only 11 days old

#

not even 2 weeks

#

😛

plain vigil
#

Can we get back on topic plx

zealous basalt
#

No

sullen dawn
#

that's like 50 years in internet time

dense plover
#

It’s BS

zealous basalt
#

Apologize to him

dull flame
#

reddit post is 2 days old

#

reddit dosnt read 4chan

sullen dawn
#

cos 4chan is disgusting

zealous basalt
#

What

#

Are you on

plain vigil
sullen dawn
#

full of racist weeps

zealous basalt
#

And ye

#

...boi

dull flame
#

still no PTR 8.2.5 ?

zealous basalt
#

Never mind

#

Thats offtopix

#

And no

plain vigil
zealous basalt
#

Probably tuesday

dense plover
#

Here let me explain why the leak is trash

#

The shadowlands and the old gods are unrelated

zealous basalt
#

I have one thing that fucks that up

dense plover
#

Nyalotha has nothing to do with the shadowlands

plain vigil
#

Pfffft omkay there peacg

#

Let's not get into this again...

sullen dawn
#

well tbh we know almost nothing about ny'alotha or the shadowlands

plain vigil
#

Back to shit we can actually talk about based on in game content....

zealous basalt
#

Let him debunker this to put a period to this leak trash

plain vigil
#

Darkspear and Dreanai Heratage quests

sullen dawn
#

'discussions from in game data' rofl

dense plover
#

We know enough about the shadowlands

sullen dawn
#

yes honda!

uncut lintel
#

i like worgens

plain vigil
#

We don't peach

dense plover
#

They were around before the old gods or titans arrived on azeroth

plain vigil
#

Drop it Mr mc craft

dense plover
#

And are not accessible to the old gods from what we know

sullen dawn
#

I' wonder what draenei would do quest wise? Maybe some iteractions/seperation between them and lightforged

plain vigil
#

Ummm

#

Easy

#

Light forged undead /s

zealous basalt
#

Wouldnt that make both planes kinda countering?

plain vigil
#

Maybe the moving of the Exodar?

zealous basalt
#

You know

#

Normal now void/Shadowlands

sullen dawn
#

@plain vigil can't wait till we get 'redeemed' undead

#

and you eat crow 😉

plain vigil
#

Fuck that I want wildhammers

sullen dawn
#

also yeh i imagine they prolly wanna get hell outa kalimdor

uncut lintel
#

i want to BE a crow

plain vigil
#

#lightforgedwildhammers

sullen dawn
#

given theyre stuck a million miles from their allies

plain vigil
#

Can we talk about how the LFD totally stole the Drenai's ship?

zealous basalt
#

You all know its almost impossible to rewrite the Exodar area without fucking everything up, right?

sullen dawn
#

technically?

plain vigil
#

Pardon?

zealous basalt
#

Like, the reason the exodar cant fly its because it is in another expansion pack

dense plover
#

Exodar is nearly impossibly to redo

sullen dawn
#

im not sure that matters, they need to update its graphics anyway, orit could get nuked out of the sky by the goblin gun

dense plover
#

It’s technically in Outland

zealous basalt
#

Yeah

sullen dawn
#

in a cinematic

dense plover
#

It’s the same reason silvermoon isn’t updated

sullen dawn
#

either rebuild the thing or destroy it

zealous basalt
#

To try and redo it means that you have to mess with the code

dense plover
#

No it’s like in Outland as in that’s the map it’s on

sullen dawn
#

they could just redo it from scratch

dense plover
#

It’s why you can’t fly to it

zealous basalt
#

And considering how structured the code is

dense plover
#

That’s a fuck ton of work

#

With almost no payout

zealous basalt
#

And it would be for current content levels

#

So if you were to do a new draenei

plain vigil
#

Again... They move the exodar

zealous basalt
#

You are stuck in the first iteration

dense plover
#

That’s still a ton of work

#

The zone isn’t built for flying

sullen dawn
#

the zone is dead anyway

plain vigil
#

There's already a big hole in Eastern kingdoms where Dalaran used to be!

dense plover
#

The exodar suffers from the same paper mache problem

sullen dawn
#

so either get rid of it, or make a new exodar somewhere else

dense plover
#

Exactly - it’s dead why redo it)

sullen dawn
#

it's dead cos there's no insentive to go there

zealous basalt
#

You cant get rid of it

#

Like

sullen dawn
#

no because people hate the exodar

#

*not

terse patrol
#

Tbh

zealous basalt
#

How do i explain

dense plover
#

No it’s dead because there is no reason to go there

sullen dawn
#

thats what i just said

dense plover
#

It’s disconnected from everything that

terse patrol
#

They should just say they dismantled the Exodar to build the Vindicarr.

zealous basalt
#

It was a miracle that they made a new ship in there

dense plover
#

^^^

#

Would’ve been smarter

terse patrol
#

And replace the Exodar with Draenor draenei assets.

#

I’d love an actual Draenei city.

uncut lintel
#

yessss

zealous basalt
#

Wasmt the vindicar built off the good parts of the exodar?

uncut lintel
#

draenei cityyy

zealous basalt
#

Yeah, but comes again the code structure program

terse patrol
#

I really don’t think it’d be that hard to add Azuremyst to the main world.

sullen dawn
#

rebuilding silvermoon would be frigging amazing tbh, but i theres a bigger problem

terse patrol
#

It has the benefit of being an island.

sullen dawn
#

there needs to be reason to go to multiple cities

zealous basalt
#

Ehh you would have to rebuild everything again

#

Or at least kalimdor

sullen dawn
#

instead of the latest city/silvermoon/org

zealous basalt
#

And do something with that exodar from bc

terse patrol
#

Delete it

zealous basalt
#

Issue is that it belongs to BC

#

If they would have just add it to the main map back in BC

sullen dawn
#

maybe put exclusive stuff in each city, or add city specific player housing, or dailies inside each city

zealous basalt
#

I think it would have got a revamp like the rest of the world

#

They arent going to try player housing again

plain vigil
#

EZ solution.... Scrap the Exodar and the Vindicar and build a city in the Dalaran Crater

zealous basalt
#

Not that easu

plain vigil
#

Easu

zealous basalt
#

Its not like its separated thing

#

Its a*

#

You would have to revamp the Draenei questing experience and give quests to Alterac valley

#

And we all know that area is technically Horde

plain vigil
#

Mak....

zealous basalt
#

Which might mean that tou would need to revamp Everything

plain vigil
#

Silithis wants to know your location

zealous basalt
#

So, not really easy

#

WoW is known for not adding stuff it is not relevant

plain vigil
#

You wouldn't have to change any start zones

terse patrol
#

They could make Silvermoon and Azuremyst faction hubs for next expac.

#

idk

zealous basalt
#

Then why would you want a draenei area in the middle of nowhere

terse patrol
#

then again I think some are bored of Draenei.

plain vigil
#

Draenai need a home, the Crater is already pruple and glowing. Small dab in alliance controlled territory

zealous basalt
#

Legion was sure of giving the normal draenei a good "no more content for you"

uncut vault
#

Keep in mind: there is a difference between making a new version of the zone, and porting over the actual original zone

plain vigil
#

^^^^^

zealous basalt
#

I dont think you understood what port mean

#

Also port i saw tou a few days ago

plain vigil
#

No I do

uncut vault
#

The reason they couldn’t connect QT and azuremyst in Cata is because they wanted to connect the actual zones, with the actual quests

plain vigil
#

I don't think you understand what I mean makore

uncut vault
#

If they make a brand new version of, say, Quel’thalas, just for a warfront or for new content, they can put that in the open world

#

and leave the original untouched

zealous basalt
#

One version for low levels or is the new versions for both?

uncut vault
#

Have the original still operate as the starting zone, and all the old xpac quests will still go there

#

And then the new one is made for new content

#

Basically two entirely separate zones, but of the same place

plain vigil
#

Story wise Dreanai have no ties to Kalimdore. Their home was invaded in legion. Scrapped for parts. And then they left to a different planet to fight. Teldrassil burned so there's no reason for them to settle in Kalimdore again.

zealous basalt
#

But again you would.need something relevant happening there

plain vigil
#

Yeah like silithis Porter... Exactly

zealous basalt
#

QT has the Warfront

#

But what about Azuremyst?

plain vigil
#

I'm saying they leave Azuremyst

#

Azutemyst doesn't get redone. They just resettle in eastern kingdoms

#

Rebuild the exodar or a Drenai city in the Crater of Dalaran

#

Then later on if we ever get playable Furbolg, we could always revisit Azutemyst

zealous basalt
#

The question is still there for you to answer Port, you solved the "how can you do to get QT into the main map with a revamp" but what about the draenei? What could they to do make them relevant enough to get a new area?

terse patrol
#

Tbh

plain vigil
#

Again. Heratage questline

terse patrol
#

I’d like a reworked Azuremyst focused on the Draenei working into their post-Legion lives, and finding their place in Azeroth for once.

zealous basalt
#

Honda

terse patrol
#

With maybe hints towards Void stuff.

zealous basalt
#

Blood elves would have then

#

A heritage questline and a warfront

#

While draenei will just have...a heritage questline?

#

Dont you think that would cause an uproar on that small community of draenei players and feed the "horde bias" thing all Alliance players have?

plain vigil
#

Damn it stop calling me Honda 😂 it's Gandem

uncut vault
#

You can change your nickname

plain vigil
#

It won't let me

zealous basalt
#

Call an admin den

plain vigil
#

Oh sheet

#

Brb

zealous basalt
#

But yeah

#

Its all about relevancy and try to not being biased on one side

#

Now changing of topic

#

Think we are going to have a wrathion remodel?

plain vigil
#

When we see him in game next

zealous basalt
#

Probs 8.3

#

If its dragon isles

plain vigil
#

Technically we haven't seen him in game since MoP

zealous basalt
#

Well

#

His human form

#

We saw him in WoD

plain vigil
#

No

zealous basalt
#

And he was still a whelp

#

Ye

#

Legendary ring questline

#

In the end he is flying around khadgar spire in whelp form

#

...although he might be older than that

plain vigil
#

We didn't actually see him in human form, we were told about him. What we saw was the hero using their memory to picture his human form

zealous basalt
#

Nonono, really

#

Ye, i said that we didnt see his human form

#

But technically we saw him

plain vigil
#

Right but only a generic model

zealous basalt
#

Yeah

#

Wtb new dragon models tbh

uncut vault
#

I’m betting he’ll get a unique drake form

#

And whenever we get dragon isles, I’m also betting that we get dragon model updates for the whole game

plain vigil
#

He'll probs get a unique drake and humanoid form

#

Well

#

We did already see the dragon mount got an update

#

Via icons

#

Drake mount*

zealous basalt
#

...

#

Imagine if he gets a model akin to manduin

plain vigil
#

Fixed!

#

@zealous basalt @dense plover @sullen dawn new leak on 4chan!!!

zealous basalt
#

its not sunday

plain vigil
#

Hit

#

You right

uncut vault
#

I like to imagine that if we get a new Wrathion model, he’ll finally take off the Turban and we’ll see little dragon horns, like all his fanart

zealous basalt
#

...port

#

he is a drake

#

not a lil whelp anymore

uncut vault
#

Yes, hence little horns

#

Not fully grown ones like Alexstrasza

zealous basalt
#

I liked they kinda

#

gave her model a small cleanup of textures

terse patrol
#

I really don’t like his turban, for whatever reason.

#

Idk, maybe because its huge.

sullen dawn
#

@gandem im in!

tropic trail
#

eeeeh whaaat

sullen dawn
#

Hes a man of style. Gotta meep the turban

#

*keep

tropic trail
#

Pyromancer cant be serious? He just said that this "shadowlands" expansion leak is "confirmed" from a secret source he has, on Asmons stream. Im not sure man

sullen dawn
#

I didnt think pyro had sources

#

Also so him more as a lore speculator, not an industry connected dude

#

*always

dense plover
#

Pyro is garbage

#

None of his lore stuff is correct

#

Please don’t support him

#

There is no lore nerd who supports pyro

zealous basalt
#

Or bellular

dense plover
#

^^^

#

If you want lore, there are lore channels

#

Pyro and Bellular are not them

tropic trail
#

Also I dont support Pyro

dense plover
#

Asmongold isn’t legit either

tropic trail
#

Im just curious, because this is a big deal, saying something like this on a 20k+ stream

dense plover
#

He doesn’t even know the lore

#

He can literally say whatever he wants

#

He has said some awful shit

#

But he has cult followers

#

So it doesn’t matter

#

He will say whatever he can to get new viewers

#

He hasn’t once been right about anything in the past

#

And again, he has said some fucking despicable things

tropic trail
#

I know

dense plover
#

He is ignorant of the lore AND a bad person

terse patrol
#

To note, isnt the Shadowlands logo just a shopped Legion logo lol

dense plover
#

Yes

#

It’s a recolor with photoshop edits

#

It’s why the pic is crooked

#

If they provided the direct image, it would be easy to prove it’s fake

#

A real legit leak wouldn’t need to have a half captured image

#

Especially one that shows nyalotha with a gate that looks like the one from the dark portal

sullen dawn
#

Mrpeach is rigt about asmund, hes kind toxic

#

And i never believed the leak necessarily, just enjoyed dicussing it. Prolly has like 30% chance of being real max

#

That said, its the least fake leak so far

#

Or rather the person tried a bit harder than most. I do like the concept ill admit, but level squish delayed till 10.0 would be annoying

tropic trail
#

i wonder when Blizzard will add more sets for Trial of Style.. i was thinking maybe 8.2.5 but next Trial of Style is August 31..

uncut lintel
#

will 8.2.5 drop live at end of august?

tropic trail
#

most likely next tuesday

uncut lintel
#

no i mean live wow

tropic trail
#

oh wait, you mean live

uncut lintel
#

yea lo

tropic trail
#

yea, probably

uncut lintel
#

i hope so

#

would be a great bday present

I think 4-6 weeks after last LFR wing makes sense

uncut lintel

thanks

Wow so much salt against Asmongold, lets not be shills and ignore the fact that Taliesin has to number 1 spot in toxicity right now...

tranquil steeple

what does salt against asmon have to do with being shills

languid yoke

Dakh just outed themselves as an idiot, let them be

Why taliesin?

plain vigil

What does salt and shills have to do with PTR spoilers? 😅

zealous basalt

Who is even

#

People

#

Do you think the first build Will have the New models?

uncut vault

probably one of them

#

my bet is that blizzard will roll the races out one at a time, like WoD beta

languid yoke

if they do that I'll scream

and shout

and let it all out

howling OOOOYOYOYOOYOOYOOYOYOO

zealous basalt

Nanda

long blade
#

@agile token check out what he said about Asmon

zealous basalt
#

Its not about toxicity

#

Its about who has more knowledge of lore

agile token

Talisien is right though

But I dont care

long blade

Lol

nvm this chat is full of shills

yes blizz just paid me 100$

I want to get pais

Paid

dense plover

Only in hugs and bug report emails

Minus the hugs 😕

Sksksksksksk

dense plover
#

It’s literally fake

#

There’s so much wrong with it

#

Also

plain vigil
#

Sksksksksksksk

dense plover
#

Did you bother to notice that the left half is literally the broken isles?

plain vigil
#

Wait peach

#

I am curious

#

What do you think is wrong with it?

dense plover
#

Like literally the left two zones are clearly azsuna and the forest zone

#

Let’s continue

#

Alnir riftlands is way too long of a name

#

Try and find a zone name with a name even close to that in length

languid yoke
#

Crystalsong Forest would like to have a word

dense plover
#

You won’t

#

Yeah

#

That was like

#

The only one

languid yoke
#

or Stormsong Valley

dense plover
#

They stopped after wrath

plain vigil
#

Those zones don't look like broken isles at all

dense plover
#

Much shorter

#

The left two zones do look like the broken isles

languid yoke
#

it's not shorter, it's one letter longer

dense plover
#

It is?

#

Well, fuck me I guess

plain vigil
#

They're two completely different zones bruv

languid yoke
#

Alnir Riftlands is 14 letters, Stormsong Valley is 15

#

B)

dense plover
#

No wait

plain vigil
#

Alnir riftlands would realate to the "rift of aln"

dense plover
#

Lol emerald X raid

plain vigil
#

Ye

dense plover
#

In the same fucking place as emerald nightmare

jade basalt
dense plover
#

Omg

#

Look at the broken isles in game

#

The map looks very similar

#

And again

#

Emerald something raid

#

XD

plain vigil
#

Tbf you don't see the water in that pic cause they cut it for the legion background @jade basalt

plain vigil
#

They look nothing alike man

dense plover
#

I think Quiet has it right here

#

LoD is too high

jade basalt
plain vigil
#

Bruh the one from the leak IS extremely simple

dense plover
#

You don’t put tons of art work into a map for devs to use

#

It’s too detailed

plain vigil
dense plover
#

It’s like if someone tells an elaborate lie

plain vigil
#

Each zone is literally a flat color

dense plover
#

If it’s too elaborate there’s something wrong

jade basalt
dense plover
#

All of the water

#

And the weird rift gate

#

That would literally be a circle in blizz world

#

And also the logo

plain vigil
#

Well it's for show and tell so they gotta make it somewhat good 🤷‍♂️

dense plover
#

That’s the legion logo

#

No they don’t

#

They rarely show the temp map

#

Go watch the legion reveal

jade basalt
#

It's not for show n tell

plain vigil
#

Last I checked the legion logo doesn't have tenticles...

dense plover
#

It’s an internal map

jade basalt
#

This is an alleged leak so supposedly it's literally just for internal stuff

plain vigil
#

This picture was allegedly used for the company's internal show and tell

#

They do it once a year

jade basalt
#

Just go look for any zone or continent on Wowpedia and look at the design sketches.

plain vigil
#

All the games in the company present what they're working on for an hour

terse patrol
#

You’re ignoring that it’s literally a photoshopped Legion logo.

jade basalt
#

And they don't need to prettify or bother with such trivial things for themselves. They don't even do it for people at Blizzcon.

plain vigil
#

Lmao you think Shadowlands is the actual final name? A temp logo isn't suprising

dense plover
#

They don’t do temp logos

jade basalt
#

Same for literally every other design map

dense plover
#

They do one logo and don’t release until it’s done

#

There’s no need for a temp logo

#

Why bother!

jade basalt
#

They also usually don't put the logo on a design sketch..

dense plover
#

^

#

It’s for internal use

terse patrol
#

Blizzard chooses an expansion name before work even starts.

dense plover
#

Why do you need it!

#

^

plain vigil
#

That's... Not how game development works @terse patrol

dense plover
#

It’s the earliest part of the design process

plain vigil
#

Else overwatch would be called Titan...

dense plover
#

That’s how blizzard works my dude

#

They said so themselves

#

Overwatcj isn’t titan

jade basalt
#

This is a design sketch (supposedly), I can't stress how irrelevant it is supposed to be, it's not a big deal for them, it's not something they need to prettify, or bother drawing 15 layers of water depth for. It's the equivalent of drawing on a napkin.

dense plover
#

Those are different games

#

^

plain vigil
#

Yeah I agree Mind... It's really not a complex map

dense plover
#

Omg

#

You aren’t listening

#

He is saying it’s too complex

plain vigil
#

You're not using your eyes

dense plover
#

And that it shouldn’t be if it’s real

terse patrol
#

“ITS goT TenTAclEs”

dense plover
#

Dude it’s way more complex than any previous concept internal map

jade basalt
#

I'm saying that the fact that this has 15 layers of water depths is a strong hint that it's not legit, because they would not do that.

terse patrol
#

WOOOOOAAAAASH

plain vigil
#

I'm not here to prove that this is real. I'm just curious what Peach Actually thinks is wrong with the image

jade basalt
#

Also the fact that another map was "leaked" literally the same week with the exact same "15 layers of water depth", which never happened before, which indicates the same guy is just making up fake leaks.

plain vigil
#

I don't doubt it Mind

tranquil steeple
#

you mean besides the unnecessary details peach is agreeing with MyMindWontQuiet in saying is too much for Blizz' idea pitching stage

plain vigil
#

It's not idea pitching tho

#

It's show and tell

dense plover
#

No it isn’t

#

Who are they showing to?

#

I swear if you say Disney

tranquil steeple
#

that doesn't invalidate the fact that it's too many details for such a thing among blizzard

jade basalt
#

Honestly the map itself is probably fine, but the depth layers, something Blizzard normally would never bother with + the fact that another map with the exact same depth layers was "leaked" at the same time is a strong hint aganst it

plain vigil
#

Employees of the company... Sksksksk

dense plover
#

They don’t need to show the employees

#

They get emails and have meetings

#

They don’t need to be pretty for them

#

Do you know anything about how companies work? At all?

#

They want to spend as little money on their employees as possible

#

Do only as much as necessary

#

No more

jade basalt
#

The logo is even hiding an actual subzone of said map, so that would be a terrible job at showing or telling

dense plover
#

It’s so clearly bullshit

plain vigil
#

Do you know how humans and game development works? When you work a job that requires such a heavy NDA, Not being able to present it to people gets really frustrating. When you make something the first thing you want to do is share it with someone, these Show and Tells allow the devs to "blow off steam" by letting them talk about projects to the only people they can. It's kinda like therapy.

dense plover
#

Not to mention I am still firmly in the camp of Nyalotha and the shadowlands not being the same place

#

That would be super lame

#

XD

#

That’s not at all how blizzard works

plain vigil
#

I mean people have literally gone public about how they're frustrated that fans won't get to see the work they did. It's a real thing. Idk why you think you know what goes on behind the scenes peach

dense plover
#

MyMindWontQuiet, you’ve visited blizzard and know some people there right?

plain vigil
#

Personally peach I think you're a cold person

dense plover
#

Ok

#

Thanks?

#

I don’t care what you think

#

You’re ignoring all reason

#

And logic

#

So your opinion and ignorance make you irrelevant to any real conversation that could be had

tranquil steeple
dense plover
#

^ this is one of the more detailed ones

#

Notice how they do biome coloring, not zone coloring

#

No logo

#

And one solid water color

plain vigil
#

It's literally the same if you crop out the ocean levels @tranquil steeple

dense plover
#

No

#

The map in the ‘leak’ doesn’t have biome coloring

#

Or any landmarks

#

It has way too many names

#

So it’s either like the old nagrand map

#

In which case it’s too detailed

#

Or it’s like the KT map in which case the details don’t match blizzards style

tranquil steeple
#

that's iirc, blizzcon reveal for battle for azeroth. the official preview without showing the 100% complete map

dense plover
#

^

tranquil steeple
#

notice the lack of subzone naming

#

the lack of logo covering part of the map

plain vigil
#

So first it's "the map is too detailed" and now it's "the map isn't detailed enough" make up your mind peach

dense plover
#

It’s one or the other

#

It doesn’t match either

#

That’s the problem

#

It isn’t detailed correctly for the second type but it’s not correctly Undetailed for the first type

plain vigil
#

Okay I wanna know what else is wrong with the image besides the shape/color blocking

dense plover
#

It doesn’t match what blizzard does

#

The subzone naming

#

That’s not a thing

#

They don’t do that on those maps

#

The big center thing

tranquil steeple
#

if they'd name subzones

dense plover
#

Nothing important is ever in the center of the map

tranquil steeple
#

that would be done when showing off the zone itself

dense plover
#

Not in any recent expac I can think of

#

They like edge placement

#

Because it allows them to change the story

plain vigil
#

They did that for the nagrand map tho

dense plover
#

Notice how all of the important cities are on the edge of the map in both BfA and Legion

#

The nagrand map has the internal details this map lacks

#

It doesn’t have any landmarks, biomes

#

It’s worthless for providing the info the nagrand map provides

#

Why name a bunch of subzones but not label the landmarks and where they are?

#

And again

#

They don’t Center things

tranquil steeple
#

in response to the "They did that for the nagrand map tho", yeah.. a specific zone not the expac's whole map.

dense plover
#

Broken shore tower was on the edge, zuldazar and Borlaug are on the edge

#

Boralus

plain vigil
#

The BFA cities are on the outskirts cause that's how you enter the zone. This map insinuates you enter from the middle of 5he map, so the placement does make sense here

dense plover
#

Dark portal in warlords was on the edge

#

Your garrisons were on the edge

#

That doesn’t tho

#

That’s what I’m saying

plain vigil
#

Again you entered from ashran and garrisoned as soon as you get to land

dense plover
#

Middle map navigation isn’t a thing

#

Blizz has NEVER done that

#

It’s bad game design

#

It means you can’t make the center area bigger once the outside is done

plain vigil
dense plover
#

Ashran is also on the edge

#

Like

#

You’re proving my point

#

All of the entrances and hubs are always on the outside of maps

#

With 1 exception

#

Crystalsong dalaran

#

And it only worked because it was floating

#

By the entrances were on the zone edges

#

For the expac

plain vigil
#

I see where you're coming from here

dense plover
#

Dude, it’s so clearly fake

#

I’ve provided tons of evidence you don’t care about

#

I’m done

#

You want this to be real

#

So it doesn’t matter what I say

#

So the convo is over

plain vigil
#

Idk about that. I think it's fair to say it's possible. Nothing can be proven to be fake. But I don't think we should believe it

dense plover
#

Dude

plain vigil
#

The convo has been over my guy

dense plover
#

It’s obviously fake

#

There’s too much wrong

#

I’m

We can't prove anything is real or fake

Let's talk about the real shit

Like upcoming Heratage sets

Then shut up

Lmao okay Makore

i dont want to have any coversations with you man

you can prove something is fake 6 ways to sunday

It's about the ride, not the end

dense plover

we talk about lore

Imagine not having a vote kick system

dense plover

and the REALITIES of it

zealous basalt

-This post was made by LFR gang

dense plover
#

we dont talk about stuff to talk

plain vigil
#

imagine having a moderating system in place

dense plover
#

speculation here is almost entirely based on actual possibilities

#

for example, 8.3 - probably dragon isles

plain vigil
#

Like Heratage set speculation

dense plover
#

not really

#

theres nothing to speculate

#

goblin and worgen are next

#

we know that

#

after, probably dranei and darkspear because theres not much else

plain vigil
#

LMAO but when I said that MONTHS ago you were screaming that dragon isles wasn't happening... Okay bud

zealous basalt
#

facepalms

dense plover
#

we dont know so speculating on what their quests will be is worthless

#

uh

zealous basalt
#

Also what months ago?

plain vigil
#

Then don't participate peach?

dense plover
#

ive said months ago that dragon isles was gonna happen eventually

zealous basalt
#

Say a date?

#

Because I have been here since BFA beta and

plain vigil
#

Lmao you want me to dig it up? I talked about it multiple times here

zealous basalt
#

I haven't seen you at all

#

Unless you are Des

#

Which I doubt

tranquil steeple
#

it ain't des

zealous basalt
#

I miss des

#

Although I wanted to see his reaction to junker gnomes

plain vigil
#

I remember des thinking racial warfront sets wouldn't happen with undead even though we saw it all on the BFA cinematics/art

#

Des was a girl I thought

zealous basalt
#

He a boi

plain vigil
#

The velf with the santa hat?

zealous basalt
#

yes

plain vigil
#

Oof

tranquil steeple
#

the elf with every hat, yeah.
anyways I'm with Mak on giving a date in regards to peach denying dragon isles, when you were talking with him

zealous basalt
#

Peach, I and Porter are the dragon isle gang

plain vigil
#

It was about a year ago. I've been in here on and off but I could dig something up I'm sure

tranquil steeple
#

a year ago is not "months ago"

plain vigil
#

I mean... It's more or less than 12 months ago..

#

So yeah

#

Sure it wasn't a couple months ago

#

I was just expressing it was a while back

dense plover
#

04/19/18

#

over a year ago

plain vigil
#

Hmm

dense plover
#

saying "I hope we see it this expac"

#

after that

plain vigil
#

Maybe I'm thinking of Des

dense plover
#

i talk about how they were finally confirmed canon

#

because when I said that, they werent

plain vigil
#

Ah no. I know what it was, we argued about junkergnome island

dense plover
#

that one DID come out of left field

#

no one expected that

plain vigil
#

I mean I did

#

From the beta hints

dense plover
#

everyone thought the assets were for an island expedition

#

or for mechagnomes

plain vigil
#

You were completely against them existing

dense plover
#

like, the northrend ones

zealous basalt
#

No

dense plover
#

i wasnt against them

zealous basalt
#

Peach was okay with them existing

plain vigil
#

It was originally junker gnome island

dense plover
#

we just had no proof

zealous basalt
#

The one that wasn't okay was Des

plain vigil
#

Then they changed it

dense plover
#

yeah

#

it was an island expedition

zealous basalt
#

because he was saying that they shouldn't waste resources on a stupid race

dense plover
#

and then it was removed

plain vigil
#

Yeah peach

zealous basalt
#

and better do it with elves

dense plover
#

im not against new things

#

as long as they arent dumb

#

or wasted

plain vigil
#

Well it was marked island but not specifically tieing it to expeditions, we just assumed

dense plover
#

mechagon is great

#

i hope we get tinkers and they reuse the city

#

as the starting zone

#

it was the same size map

zealous basalt
#

Raise the city to the surface

dense plover
#

it was 100% being planned as an island expedition

#

back when expeditions were going to be very different

plain vigil
#

Yesss peach

dense plover
#

still sad we dont have a treasure hunt expedition

#

where we solo explore and just find treasure and solve puzzles

plain vigil
#

Junkergnome allied race plz blizz

dense plover
#

its very likely

#

them and vulpera

zealous basalt
#

Not as they are now though

dense plover
#

no theyll need work

#

same as kul tirans

plain vigil
#

I'm surprised you're saying they're likely tbh

dense plover
#

when BfA launched, lots of armor was broken on kul tirans

#

theres a good chunk of evidence

zealous basalt
#

...I remember the first builds with the kul tirans

dense plover
#

they have extensive customization, unique voicelines and dances and emotes, full animation support, and nearly full armor support

plain vigil
#

Tbf I don't think people would kind them not getting arm or leg gear. I prefer it. Sure the option would be nice but still

dense plover
#

although tbf, they could also make it a upgrade thing

#

like the night elf thing

#

the night warrior

zealous basalt
#

Eeeeee

dense plover
#

they 100% have to support all armor

plain vigil
#

I don't see that happening due to the voice difference, hair, and animations

dense plover
#

whether that means armor overwriting the 3d bits (likely)

#

or changing how those bits work

#

i expect them to tweak it so armor just overrides the 3d bits

#

falls back to some kind of base model

plain vigil
#

I think they're releasing an extreme so they have more options

dense plover
#

especially now that you can mog away everything

plain vigil
#

Ye

dense plover
#

its likely they WILL make armor overwrite the bits

#

people want to be able to transmog

#

limiting that by race wont happen

#

but people can always mog off armor, so itll be fine

#

assuming they dont change something else

#

but currently, they are the most likely alliance race

#

there isnt much else I can think of

plain vigil
#

I still think this will end up being the Heratage set. Maybe not the helm but the shoulders belt and back plate

dense plover
#

those arent armor tho

#

thats the model

#

you cant do that

plain vigil
#

They can. With 3d assets

dense plover
#

its almost definitely just going to be flattened when wearing armor

plain vigil
#

I'm not talking about the limbs

Just the 3D asset on their back

And the shoulders

We get the option to use normal gnome limbs in addition to the robotic ones

MyMindWontQuiet, you’ve visited blizzard and know some people there right?
Yeah, but I don't think I can comment on whether Blizzard do cross-team show and tells or not, which is why I haven't addressed that before

In any case, that map is also just "rehashed". There's nothing "new" about it. Every continent, even the ones we expected highly (Northrend, Outland, Broken Isles, Argus, Zandalar..), came with entirely new, completely alien concepts and ideas.

This map clearly looks like someone took the latest fads and theories and ideas that we've been discussing for months/years, and put them on a map. So there's a "Black Forest", an Emerald Something, a Shirakess Camp (literally the naga that were just introduced in 8.2..), and so on. All things that are "old".

That's the one common denominator of most leaks, they're just rehashed fan theories. The only, very few leaks, that were actually legit, brought completely new, almost alien, ideas. In fact the Cataclysm one was rejected by most because it was too "unlikely". It didn't make sense - none of it was "related" to what was going on, to what we were familiar with (Northrend).

That's how you know leaks are fake, they make too much sense, because people need logical connections. That's why they're all filled with logical next-steps, stuff we're already familiar with, they're just an amalgam of fan theories, instead of actually new content.
