Ok
Cool
Still doesn’t make that legit
Glad you said it 6 times
Is your dick big enough?
🙄
so you dont have a line to draw for the water level thing either and your point you made about it being fake because it is too different from past maps is invalid
conceding im right there?
I already say ok
I’m not going to concede anything
The whole fuck8ng concept of the expansion is nonsense
The two leaks aren’t even consistent with each other
okay then those maps i showed are precedence of them using that format style and the water levels
for zone layout maps
they arent consistent with eachother yet they were both shown in the same context of a blizzcon showing
No
meaning they dont need to be entirely consistent to be real
The two shadowlands expansions
let's forget that the Shadow land logo is just a recolored legion
The two leaks
it isnt makore
I’m saying the shadowlands leaks are bullshit - even if the map is in style, there are two different shadowlands maps, two different leaks, neither of them are the same
My problem with that logo comes from the L being illegible
wheres this second shadowlands map
which L is illegible
wait
actually
funnily enough
thanks makore
for bringing up legion
cause that fucking debunks peaches last point
the L in legion on the logo is literally the same
Did you just read yourself in that last part
This one
that means theyre copied and pasted
No it isn’t
..
Because there’s like, a tentacle behind it or something
@dense plover @zealous basalt have a happy bird to cheer you up for having to deal with this BS 
The colors overlap in the shadow lands one
That is a bad color scheme
Dude
its also foreshortened
The L in world
because of the angle of the picture
Not shadowlands
The World of Warcraft words
oh thats an even worse point my bad
i thought you meant the foreshortened bottom lettering
Ya know what, fuck it
Are black and due the color of the background it makes worse to read
Blocked
LOL
let me respond to him
his point is
that the L
in world
is blocked by the design
Much better
... You are either someone that left school
Or someone that doesn't know about art work
I don’t need to read the rants of someone who wants a leak to be true so bad they will overlook any and all inconsistencies
You clearly already believe it’s real, so no one can change your mind
I don’t get why he was being so confrontational the whole time 
You have decided what you want to believe, and I’m never going to agree
It's like the asmongold fans
So I’m done talking to you about this
Or someone that follows a massive trend
Dude, fuck asmongold. He is a literal neckbeard who lives in an attic he has made a dumpster
I wouldnt want to be proven wrong in such quick succession like you just were
who would>?
Even if you dislike asmln
thats why I usually dont make bad points
Why shush? I don’t have to read anything they say, because blocking hides their messages
so that people cant call me out on making such bad takes
I don't think it should be okay to say that in a discord with word rulings
Oh lawd he’s trying to insult you after a block. It’s like screaming into the void 
Just how you referred on asmongold
I'm literally just talking about the convo we're having Jlucks
Asmongold isn’t here - I’m not insulting him. I’m commenting on how I dislike the personality. It’s like shitting on an actor - it’s not the same as insulting someone to their face
which is more pathetic, blocking someone trying to have a convo and then whining with your ears closed like a baby, or the person just having the convo
But isn't he just some character made by a person?
Jlucks, you should probably block him too - if he’s insulting me, he’ll probably start insulting other people too
I dont know what point in my life I would have to be at where I would feel the need to block someone who is literally just trying to discuss a leak for a video game expansion
He is stroking himself saying how he defeated you and bla bla bla
🤷 You’re trying to make a point but your entire argument is littered with insults and complete condescending tone. No one will want to listen to you if you act that way and then no one will ever WANT to believe you regardless of what you are saying is true
A monologue
Jlucks do you wanna make a money bet at which one of us made a ad hom first or
Yeah I’m just gonna head out, I was just enjoying the show 
Quite sad Emu missed this
the funny thing is I wasnt even on the original point anymore
he conceded I was right on the very first comment i made
Oh I doubt the guy is gonna leave. I’m sure emu will be able to see everything
He is free to stay after all
my original point was that he had no basis in denying its fake by what they look like compared to past maps
I can see more boxes. Is he still stroking his own ego?
Ye
Ofc
Heh, well this was entertaining, you all have a good night
are we going to pretend you're not opening each of my messages diligently mrpeach 🙂
Faith?
i know you're reading this rn
you clicked this box too
this one as well
why are you reading these stop
Omg his ego is relentless. Alright bye ❤
bye. btw whyd you click this box too mr peach
4 messages, XD
notice he got quiet cause he didnt know what to say in response cause he had a hard time thinking how he was gonna pretend he didnt read each message
Enough to blindly believe this kind of stuff
I guess
I never follow leaks because one
Honestly I think it’s more a result of having cognitive dissonance
Most of the things they say are things already on game
im saying mrpeach made bad points as to why it's 100% false
And two
He wants to believe it’s real so bad that he is willing to ignore anything and everything about it
I never once said it was real
I know Lore enough to say bs on points
Oshit honk
^^^
You looked better with that pfc
Thanks honk, you got my back even when rude people try to insult me XD
I dislike honk alliance bias
I rotate my pics.
lol you literally did nothing but insult me to avoid responding to my points
I’d be Horde it they didn’t ruin Kael’thas.
That’s fair tbh. They made kaelthas a 1 dimensional character
... Why did they ruin Kael again
Hard to tell an in-depth rts style story in an mmo
I’m back and I like Lor’themar a lot. Alright back to not being here
what were the 2nd to last and last bosses for the Dragon Soul raid?
anyone remember?
end boss for dragon soul anyone?
Ok I finally looked
and 2nd to last?
Really? Deathwing is your go to?
Eh
Lol dude. Deathwing, a massive dragon is not the same as a human adult
I’ll concede that one. But riddle me Anduin and Sylvanas.
Honestly honk, don’t bother - dude wants it to be real, so he doesn’t care
Do you guys
Remember the Battle for Azeroth leak?
All the legit leaks are extremely basic, because the more details you give, the more likely you are to be caught
Dragon isles has been likely from the start tbh - wrathion hints, old god stuff - infinite dragon flight, and island expac
lol again you guys just concede my points and go back to ad homs
The class changes were supposed to happen tbh
The most glaring issue with the “leak” is the fact that it has two different end bosses for the Alliance and Horde.
next you'll go onto projecting that i'm doing nothing but ad homs
lol honkerton thats sarcasm right
I remember thinking about that for Battle
We aren’t even talking to you right now dude
But then Blizz came and said "All bosses for all sides"
Before you say Dazar’alor, Jaina was the end boss for both sides.
Yeah they specifically said they don’t want to do different end bosses didn’t they?
what line is there that isnt arbitrary between there being a faction line for a middle boss and a faction line for an end boss
Riddle me this: how do you suppose Blizzard would balance a world first race with two entirely different end bosses?
Rekt
Like, wasn’t that a specific point they made at blizzcon?
...
...The two- what
This is big brained.
You can't answer a question with another
i'm asking you
Either answer his question first
my point is the answer to my question is the same as the answer to yours
Tell me where they had a raid with two entirely different bosses?
That is to say, two entirely different bosses that both sides had to beat at the same time.
Battle of Dazar’alor had two entirely different bosses, with the same mechanics. That’s the leaks idea as well
battle of dazaralor ???
I’m not saying it’s a correct leak, but that isn’t something that counts it out
LOL
...How would Anduin and Sylvanas have the same mechanics?
THATS WHAT IM SAYING THIS ENTIRE TIME
You didn't know that
Also, the leak says nothing about having the same mechanics.
but im just saying that their points dont make it 100% not real confirmed
Fuck, Porter, you had to feed this monkey.
Damn it gnome
feed me by helping my point?
is it a good sign for you when you see good points as being equivalent to feeding a monkey
The top 10 anime betrayals here
You’re telling me a Dark Ranger and a Priest would have the same mechanics? @uncut vault
You didn't know what Porter said, or understand what it means
Then explain what he said
just did
They being who
They made a gnome tinker and Bwonsamdi use the same abilities
both the end game leak boss and the bosses in dazar
is that too complex for you makore
Those were both gorilla fights.
I'm trying to remember which abilities Porter is making mention off
Ok that’s just rude
No, nothing rings a bell
<@&299347348847329281> this guy is insulting people
To be fair, TJ, you don’t even believe the leak but are in here baiting people.
i'm not saying i dont believe in it or believe in it
im saying you have no credible evidence to 100% disprove it
You said earlier you didn’t believe it
no peach
no i didnt.
peach lets say i have a coin in my hand
im gonna tell you theres a nickle
in my hand
do you believe me?
do you have proof that i dont have one in my hand?
those are 2 distinct questions
You started off immediately by being a dick so
calling your points terrible is being a dick?
honk do you wanna stake this claim that you've been totally civilized and nice
You aren’t either
Nah
Wow seriously?
@zealous basalt bwonsamdi summoning a spirit to empower undead grong is equivalent to gnomes air-dropping a mech to zap grong into being angrier
You’re being extremely aggressive
if they can do that, they can do anything
It’s like you guys WANT to push each other
think
honk you literally called me a monkey 5 minutes ago ahahaha
and ur pulling the "ur not being nice" card
Because you are acting like one.
But how would that apply to Sylv and And
Y’all just stop
Anduin and Sylvanas could easily mirror shadow and light abilities, Sylvanas and Anduin are both mainly ranged, with some melee potential, with a sidekick who uses both melee and ranged with a trenchcoat
no porter see theyve literally never done that exact situation before so it could never happen
i mean thats just logic
hey just to confirm from the mods
I don’t see them doing that on an end boss, sorry.
you're warning honk and peach right
Hmm, I suppose that is valid...
for disrepect
How about you focus on improving your behaviour?
is that a no then?
Focus on yourself rather than other people
I'm just seeing where the line is drawn
can I call people monkeys without getting a warning?
#welcome-rules and the rules
Lol
I’ll accept a warning, but quit acting like you’re an angel sent down from on high, TJ.
lol i'd love to see where i even claimed to be close to that
I only defended myself from you guys claiming I should be punished for doing just as much as those around me
thats not me calling myself an angel
So do you want to drop this subject or do you want to continue
All I see is someone who’s stirring the pot for the sake of it.
i wonder how long the warcampaign will be on Tuesday and if we are going to be able to do all of it that day..
I give it a time gate
stirring the pot? just so we're clear making up lies about what i've said about myself isnt stirring the pot, correct
?
@green laurel 👀
Nah, cutscene Tuesday
i hope there is no timegate but probably going to happen.. i think this xpac has been just rep gated ?
Nah
Muffinus tweeted out asking for live-streams to see reactions
What a tease
.... I have school that day
See?
Will servers be down?
No time gate
Or will it be a quick patching?
wait I wanna get a recording of your reaction peach nooo
that the end of that cinematic is like "SYLVANAS IS ATTACKING STORMWIND!"
I’m making a formal request
We all agree she gon do Dat eitherway
^
Let it be a bait
^^
I said she was gonna do that like 2 months ago
Like this one
i hope doggo gets baited 🙂

its gonna be jaina though
Peech had a good theory and got in an argument with Tilted I think
About how would it go
And that it won't be bad if Syl is baited baiting the Alliance
it would make sense for jaina to be at thunder cause shes like already infatuated with that plot
I just hope Sylvanas’ 7D chess comes to an end and Calia or someone else ruins it all.
@zealous basalt language.
Oh
I hope calia is used as a tipping point for breaking down the faction walls of races
I want referring to forfe
alliance undead
I was cursing my luck
Do it in a more PG fashion or something
Like “dratheck”
lol
theres so many little foreshadows now for different plot explanations for faction barriers being done away with
not like a faction removal just race barriers being removed y'know
I LEFT MY LAPTOP CHARGER IN MY HOMETOWN
rip
I think the war will be half/unoficially over at the end of the campaign
at least you can check YT or streams :p
tears
the horde rebellion and the alliance will make a semi treaty in some fashion but that will mean virtually nothing when sylv attacks stormwind anyway
It won't be the same without my 430 monk
Stat optimized
That cost me 4 weeks to optimize
And almost made me quit wow
oh forgot about the rebellion..
how?! thats like the entire thing thats gonna be happening tuesday
thats the whole subplot
lol
the last cinematic we got was that
too focused on wanting sylvanas to die 🙂
if the leak is real then she will die
she is dead already 🙂
Killing a character is bad writing.
lol
Better have them kill Nathanos in front of her
I still wonder if we’re getting a CGI cinematic soon or not.
INB4 IT'S AN INGAME CINEMATIC OF 7 MINUTES
doesnt the leak say tyrande literally decapitates nathanos
yes
Gotta finish off Sadfang’s story.
that would be sick the leak can be fake just let that be true
I’d rather see Nathanos suffer the same fate as the orc Malfurion vined up.
Or should I say
Fertilizer.
What about the elf malfurion decapitated
The one that said "I will kill Malfurion"
"Malfurion is all. Mine"
And then
rekt
That was very cringe to read tbh
lol thats great
Well
I dislike petty characters
We know he’s a dark ranger now as cringe as that is.
Mostly when they can't even scratch them
Tbh, I feel like Lorash is some Blizzard employee’s fan fic character.
Nathanos needs to get squished 🙂
They literally rewrote High/Blood Elf lifespans just for him to have a reason to hate the Night Elves.
Ye
huh whats that
Also
he just doesnt like them cause they live a long time?
That one dark ranger who is apparently over 3000 years old and knew Shandris personally during the Troll Wars, despite Night Elves having not been in the Troll Wars.
Mutated from Highborne all the way to Blood elf
Ye
It's cringe fest
And a massive lore break
Like, it’s like Blizzard’s writers don’t even know their lore anymore.
I hope it's like Golden giving Genn a tail
And just a fuck up from their part
I was like
"Golden what the fuck have you done"
I’m fine with worgen getting tails. Whatever. That’s not a big lore break like completely redoing blood elf life spans.
You kno
How did high elves have several kings sincs Quel’thalas’ founding if they live that long?
Like, even in Warhammer
If not it means high elves are stupid to be killed
The guy who taught humans magic is still alive lmao
Kek
they might have all just gotten killed?
And then there is this dude
That knew them from the beginning
Participated in the troll wars
or maybe the stress of their job lowered their lifespan 🙂
In the old lore, high elves lived roughly 600 years. Monarches lived longer.
I still say it Honk
I think it's just a unique case
He probably have lived all the way there somehow doing hax
Its not unique, when the dark ranger is old as fuck too.
It's like a moonguard character
Lol
which char is this ur talking about?
I mean the dark ranger
Lorash and the dark ranger Shandris and Co kill in the war campaign.
kinda funny that both of the characters with that weird past are now Horde, and undead
or, were, in the case of areiel
Because Blizzard is fishing for reasons for them to hate night elves.
Let’s just forget this:
Ye
Probably two writers that hate elves
Just like I do
But my reason has foundations
my reason is because they cant seem to get over a little burnt tree
like i mean cmon
get over it
That was their home
Makore
what???

Shhh
I know
My reason to hate elvenkin ks
Because they all fell for a female charm
And that fucked Azeroth
I would say something
But it's really un appropriated
inappropriate ?
That
Nah
Oh boy so many messages, did I missed something ? And I got pinged?
AND a live stream on Tuesday???? Ok where are my excited emotes

No theres no livestream on tuesday
Hes asking people to livestream their reactions to 8.2.5
Which insinuates no timegating
oh I see. maaaan
and I thought they gonna drop the 8.3 bomb if there would be an live stream
Account wise essences would have been on the PTR
Game mechanics changes weren’t encrypted
i was joking.
because whoever came up with character-bound essences in the first place needs removing from development
ah
I just hate that Conflict and Strife is Bis and it’s forcing me to do arenas to be good in pve content
Account wide essences for that shit needs to be a thing but we will never see that on the ptr, wouldn’t be surprised if 9.0 scraps the essence system lol
are you pushing CE content?
So I took that format from reddit and played Bingo
Wdym new warchief
so nothing spoilerd since yesterday?
We should get all information tomorrow afternoon
Wednesday for us eu heads
It’s probably going to explicitly tie in our current story to 8.3 and pave the way for 9.0
I take everything if its not going to be "Sylvanas working for Nzoth" bullcrap
looking forward to the new stuff in general
Again, I could see them going the route of sylvanas accidentally working for Nzoth
patch notes imply more than just war effort but i guess that might just be the wrathion questline
Like, thinking she was doing the right thing but being duped
yea thats what I could see too peach
I’m okay with that because it would explain some of her less rational actions
I’m hoping Nzoth is the one who tricked Voljin into choosing her
yea, shes being manipulated by Nzoth would at least be logical
And that this plot goes all the way back to legion
I really want them to save the whole master of bwonsamdi storyline for a separate expac
I want to head towards full black empire and then follow it up with that
Or like, something unpredictable
I would love an out of left field expac for 10.0
Like MoP
When are the scheduled maintenance times for tomorrow?
I think shes definitely not under the influence of nzoth
But rather fighting a shadow war with him
I see it more as she thinks she is fighting him but he is playing her
Maybe yeh
That'd make sense
I'm not sure nzoth will be involved in war campaign conclusion tho
Like, Nzoth picked her using Voljin - he picked her because he knew she would do certain things that would lead to BfA and the dagger being rediscovered
Prolly the wrathion questline is the only void stuff well get but it'll only be corruption, nzoth still nowhere to be seen
I think hes AWOL till 9.0
Then he used the dagger to give her a vision, showing her his plan but the plan he showed is actually a lie that gets her to act in a way that results in him being freed and the horde and alliance being in shambles
Which I hope ends up being her firing the cannon at stormwind or west fall, while we do that, Nzoth frees or consumes yogg and or Cthun
Something something wrathion dragon isles
I also expect us to not actually fight Nzoth
Or if we do, I hope we lose
We need to be knocked down a peg
And Nzoth needs to be a serious threat
so how is orgrimmar involved
Horde and alliance assault oggrimar to stop sylvanas after being tricked into defending thunder bluff
But while they do that, she fires the cannon
Or vice versa maybe
They go to attack sylvanas and stop her, she goes to thunder bluff - or tricks the horde and alliance into going there, then fires the cannon
They said it was going to be used
In an interview
And it’s currently pointed at stormwind
And that would be cinematic af
recently?
Uh unsure
Don’t remember how old the interview is
I’m just basing my guesses off of the limited bits they’ve said
that interview was from blizzcon last year
i'm only willing to guess something orgrimmar and something necklace
And Im not sure if that was just a joke or if it was actually seriously
Well I expect thunder bluff to be relevant at some point
also eitrigg
Probably in the war campaign
not sure how that fits in yet
I’m hoping they don’t kill Saurfang tho
That would be a total waste of his character development
I hope they kill him off
Thrall has been around too long and done too much
He doesn’t need to be in the story anymore
Saurfang hasn’t been relevant until recently
And we haven’t resolved his whole my honor vs horde thing
but then Saurfang should never lead again
he would be the worst warchief ever, after he tried to kill himself
Oh I think the horde should have a council
I think Saurfang should facilitate the transition, maybe be the orc representative, but I think it should be zekhan and Baine, Lorthemar, and all of the other faction leaders
Sub faction leaders
Race leaders?
tbh woudnt be surprised if sylvanas stayed warchief at the end but prob wont happen sadly
I hope she gets imprisoned or exiled
she wont get imprisoned, alreay confrimed
😂
Not serious
yea they said she wont be on a trial
oh there's also a real time cinematic with jaina
i missed that for some reason
but not a giant surprise
I think sylvanas will be AWOL by end of 8.2.5
AWOL? whats that
Missing
ah
Gone
only one leaky sound
so Jaina CGI? nice
ah
not prerendered
I thought when you said real time you were talking about a CGI
So those are separate from the video cinematic right?
very separate
Cos technically they're not really 'videos'
Cool yeh I imagine there'll be a bunch of those in the scenarios or whatever
Why do I have a feeling that one was left unencrypted intentionally as a message from the devs? Like, let's enjoy the ending of the war campaign together. :v
To anxious I should just not think about it till I play through it
Same
42 hrs for eu
Think imma play resident evil 2 remake today/tomorrow to get my mind off it. Still havent opened it haha
That "many new quests and adventures across azeroth" thing is still curious
Could be theres more than war campaign and magni quest chain
That's what I'm thinking
Like wasnt there something calia/scarlet halls related?
I'm wondering if that line that got un-encrypted, then re-encrypted is part of the cutscene/cinematic for Jaina "I'm glad we got to spend this time together."
Maybe her to her momma after Derek stabs her
@junior prairie it can't be the cinematic because they are all in one file
There is still this Velonara Dark Ranger quest
And scarlet halls right?
yep
Feasel did say in taliesen interview many of the island quest stories would be continued in bfa
More likely it just didn’t get encrypted and didn’t actually provide enough info to matter
He could have just meant dragon/wrathion stuff
But could also be what 'many stories and adventures' means
Also I doubt the scarlet halls stuff happens
he said one of the island quest will play out in BfA
which is for sure alreadsy Wrathion
I don't think he said one
Really feels like that was killed off
probably Helya
He said some
yea right, some
They have to introduce it somehow
It did get re-encrypted, spent time looking over that file for ages, and the one marla linked was tied to it
I still think dragon isles is sub zone for 9.0
some of the islands quests will play out
Yeh I mean some arent that important
They're just to kind of to reintroduce groups for the future
Like the wild druids etc..
No way they waste dragon isles as a subzone - it’s prime patch content
And we need content for 8.3
Yeah that would be weird
Kind of like kul tiras
I expect them to return to the one continent model
I think you can get that same variety without that
"I'm glad we got to spend this time together."got re-encrypted like fast, checked through for ages
Like in Legion
I expect 4/2 in 9.0
I expect 5 zones - unified continent
For 8.3 I'm still leaning towards elwynn forest/redridge/spawmp of sorrows remakes
That would t work for patch content
They need a new zone
Patches introduce new zones
I dunno 8.1 was dark shore
guys checking ptr and only two IDs not playing others cinematics from deathwing and siege of orgrimmar
Legion, we got more suramar
Yeh but it could mean they get extra time on 9.0 while still giving us meat in 8.3
I just want more heart of azeroth levels
Dude
I'm just playing devils advocate
No offense, but that idea just isn’t consistent with any expac ever
Especially when they said they want to stick with introducing 2 new zones as part of patch content
Aye and i think they will
There is pretty much guaranteed a new zone as part of 8.3 - remastering old zones does not count
They just might used remade zones so they can push resources towards 9.0 while still giving us an epic 8.3 with raid
It would if there's loads of story
Art assets are not something they struggle with
They have never had problems with art or world design
In general I agree
And if the amount of story is consistent, then there is no reason they wouldn’t do a new zone
There’s no precedent
But they're working towards a remake (eventually) - they need to build that bank of assets and chip away at some of the zones like with darkshore and arathi
No precedent sure but they did a production process revamp last year
It is an assumption sure
No confirmation
Well, we’ve seen file names for Westfall assets back all the way in beta.
I admit that
So it may be possible they’re making assets behind the scenes.
I mean, if sylvanas attacks stormwind, then we might end up in west fall as part of the story
Ye
Doesn’t mean they’ll redo the whole zone
Might just be pieced
Pieces
Like how darkshore mainly uses the old trees still
And half the zone is pretty much the same but with different npcs
Specifically the southern and far northern bits
I don’t see them making changes to red ridge or Elwynn - there’s currently no evidence pointing to that
And they wouldn’t do a retaking stormwind raid
Because why tf would horde help?
Horde might be anti sylvanas but they won’t help the alliance retake their capital
That’s stupid
The only stormwind raid I could see would be one where it’s being actively attacked
Not where both factions go in to liberate it
Not really - there’s no way they could have a satisfying path towards a rescue the alliance raid
The lines might be blurred by the end of it
Thing about siege of oggrimmwr - most of the raid takes place in pandaria
Because the siege wasn’t an entire patch sitting there before hand
Thrall helping jaina wouldn't be unusual - especially since jaina helped save baine
God now it sounds like shitty fanfic
Sounds like the direction the story is going tbh
I mean the 8.2 cinematic would disagree with you
There’s nothing going on there
Yeh that was just a small throwback to saurfang quest chain
Prolly wouldn't be included
That wasn’t in the swamp of sorrows was it?
Also, I don’t see them focusing on zone redos for a major content patch. You forget the patch process they want to keep
They want this process: X.1 expand on current content, X.2 new zone, X.3 new zone
This worked in legion
I'd agree with you normally there - it just sounds like something they could do to move on from bfa without pulling a wod
They went out of the way several times to say this is what they want to do
They aren’t going to move on
Bfa isn’t world
WoD
I know
It’s not even close
That's why I'm saying this is a balance
It isn’t tho
That would be the equivalent of the fucking camera patch for warlords
They have different teams tho
So that doesn’t make sense
They have a huge art team - so working on redoing old zones doesn’t save anything if the story amount is the same
All it does is make people salty
Because they want new content
Not rehashed content
Darkshore works because you don’t spend all your time there
If you had to spend all your time there you would get bored because you’ve already seen it while leveling
It’s a legit waste of time to spend time reworking old zones with the same amount of content - art team isn’t what they need more time on - that’s the feature team and tbh I’m pretty sure the feature team has probably mostly moved on at this point
So why not do dragon isles?
And tbh we will probably find out in a couple weeks
My guess is live-stream in mid October going into details of 8.3 and announcing ptr being then or a week later
And maybe saying to look forward to the future of wow at Blizzcon
They almost definitely want to try and get 8.3 on ptr before Blizzcon
Yeh I reckon a week before at most tho
That’s also probably why war campaign ends in 8.2.5
Maybe around 20th oct
I saw this posted earlier and it has me wondering what the heck is going to happen - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/406285497846071306/625568934091030530/Screenshot_20190922-222425_Twitter.jpg
So that we can figure out where the expac is going before Blizzcon
Basically means we get the whole campaign tomorrow

Cutscenes and end of war campaign
Probably explaining how 9.0 is going to happen early
With 8.3 being a bow tie on the whole azeroth wound thing
Yeh no way hes asking people to livestream reactions to the first segment of a timegated series haha
People would not be happy
I think we might honestly be able to see where 9.0 is going with the cutscenes
Because that’s the only way they can show 9.0 without spoilers
Have it already be a thing players are thinking about but not the focus of bfa
I can see I was tagged in here but I'm not entirely sure what for!
uh, that was me in response to the shadowlands leak being brought up again and uber-religiously defended
Ah
@jade basalt here's a tag for ya: you rock keep on doing what you do ❤️
MyMindWontQuiet is less likely to speculate on the likelihood of a leak like that. They know their lore better than pretty much anyone I’ve ever known
haha whose uber-religiously defending it?
yea, it was just a moment of "should we get big lore people in here to set things straight?" then we pinged some
After tomorrow tho, I bet a lot of us will have a clear idea of what we expect from 9.0
or at the very least an idea of what to expect, if not outright showing it, but somehow hiding it at the same time.
eitherway, hope it means the end of the shadowlands leak 'cause it's tiring to see it brought up so much
I expect us to have a solid idea so they can talk about it at Blizzcon without people being consumed
Confused
yeah there's that too
@stiff vector I thought so, btw it seem's any mention of that line has gone off most websites, even wowhead (I can't seem to find it) really weird tbh
Because it was encrypted
And wowhead wants to stay in blizzards favor
It’s like when that cinematic leaked back in warlords
It was un-encrypted for like 3-4 days then poof super encrypted and scrubbed from most sites I look
They removed it when blizz asked
probably the case yeah
It’s the right thing to do
Blizz lets us datamine
So we try to show them respect in return
Tho tbh less so lately 😕
I mean, ngl
if I had to choose between being able to datamine, and being able to playtest something
I'd go with playtesting
yet if there's something they really wanna keep secret or not talked about, then I can understand the amount of encryption being at least somewhat reasonable
and just have to hope it's not going to be that way when every next PTR build deploys
The problem with that approach is always that it increases the risk of something with errors going life.
The testing is there for a reason, usually.
(And lets face it, if its major story developments, there is always additional risk on getting it wrong)
I mean the brewfest things wasn't fully tested on horde side and now some stuff is not able to complete, I understand hiding stuff ofc, it's just testing is important
It’s very clear they have tested the war campaign
It’s a linear questline - not too hard to test
Tbh it’s almost definitely just a package for these cinematics
The brewfest ram quest is just like that, and you can't do it cause doesn't register names no longer there
I'm not saying its untested. Just that the risk is higher. Wouldn't be the first time they kept stuff hidden and ended up with problems. 🤷
Didn’t they hotfix that already?
Also, old events in general are a hot mess - they’re spaghetti code
idk just saying wouldn't be surpised if 8.2.5 had something go wrong cause of not testsing 😅 Although I hope not ofc
War campaign is the only untested bit
inb4 theres a critical bug and peole cant progress in the campaign
They can test themselves.
It is very likely it was all changes to the war campaign
i was joking
blizz seems too confident that it'll have a critical bug preventing progress
The only thing we didnt test was quest and cinematics
And that they tested the shit out of it
Gonna return your compliment right back at ya @stiff vector ❤
considering muffinus tweeted out for streams on reset
I'm just excited at the apparently lore shattering event that is happening tomorrow
Dunno about lore shattering
Well, not shatterin, but story-moving.
My point is it is important
It definitely needs to make up for the disappointment that was 8.2 cinematic
My guess is that someone is gonna die...what else would be this huge?
That was the lamest raid cinematic
I already schedules a RP guild leader conference for the horde on my realm for next weekend 😄
The entire structure of factions being reformed
A city burning to the ground maybe
But like - I can’t see that happening without testing
I doubt thunder bluff is gonna bite it.
Oh definitely not
So we can try to get on the same page relatively soonish (and maybe handle it ICly when shit hits the fan)
I still believe thundrrbliff is a trick
Woah haha @dense plover. But yeah I don't find much joy in speculating about leaks, as they're literally never true. I do read (most of) them though!
Just look at this number: of the dozens and dozens and dozens of leaks released each year, only 2, in the entire history of WoW, have been true.
And they were nothing like the leaks you see on a regular basis.
And they were released just a couple days, maybe a week, before the expansion announcement.
(And after the trademark had already been found, at least for one of them, though to be fair Blizz is no longer doing this it seems.)
Note: by "leaks" I'm referring to unofficial leaks (i.e some poster on a forum), not to "Blizzard made a mistake" leaks (i.e trademark leak, or data released too early on PTR [like allied races in Legion], etc.).
Horde would have to fight through the likes of tyrande and others. Aysa, Gilneans.
Lots of people call stormwind home atm
@jade basalt Real leaks do happen, but typically they’re overlooked or not believed.
Like ye olde Cata leak.
And the Warlords leak
As I said, there's only ever been 2, and that would be the Cata and the Warlords ones.
why would belmont defend durotar
Yeah pretty much why I hardcore doubt he shadowlands stuff
Legit leaks are extremely vague
The forsaken are currently living there
And very short
Pandaren, Mag'har, Darkspear
And regular orcs alongside forsaken now
Maybe Firepaw, Geyarah and Zentabra
Then have a lightforged, Gilnean anddddddddddddddddd let's go KT
For alliance
Why would Ji Firepaw defend Sylvanas
He is still in the horde and lives in durotar.
Since we are stopping with the shadowlands bullshit, can we also stop with the “8.3 isn’t happening” bullshit? I’m so sick of it. BfA isn’t warlords of draenor - there’s no evidence they will skip 8.3, and with the size of the team, and how far along we are, it doesn’t make sense. 6.2 was developed as being the last patch, 8.2 was not
BfA is not nearly as bad as WoD
8.3 is going to happen
Imo it’s still better than cata
WoD was peak shit 😄
Especially int erms of storytelling and worldbuilding
I would say BfA is similar to MoP pre Thunder King
if 8.2 were to be the last patch, there would be most likely be way more content developed and tested
Same here @dense plover
it's on par with cata for me, cata had very fun daily zones and more fun dungeons (but without m+ so less repetitive value), also firelands
also cata added new class abilities 
Cata had Raid issues and endgame content issues that bfa doesnt
Cata is when fun quests happened
Bfa has the mop issue of tons to do but none of it mattering
That " 8.3 ist Not going to Happen" annoyes me much more then people actually believing any fake leak
yes
I’m talking in terms of total content
8.3 is 100% going to happen and anyone doubting that is wrong
we don't know yet either if bfa's final raid will be as terrible as dragon soul was
like at this point, I'd give the edge to cata
the leaks thing is different, theyre unlikely true but its fun to discuss and there is a small chance
We haven’t had a single bad raid
because dragon soul is what made cata significantly worse
Each expansion brought it's own flavor to the game. I like each expansion for what it tried to do and what it brought to the table. This includes WoD
we had Uldir
