#

eeh if you get a big group of people speculating over things they see

jade basalt
#

In my opinion Shadowlands would work better as a raid or patch than as a continent. I just don't find the idea that appealing to spend 2 entire years on... some floating island in the afterlife?

dense plover
#

^

#

especially since nyalotha is also a raid

novel zodiac
#

All interesting that's left in the wow universe are the void lords, but there's no fucking way that the next expansion is about them, we're probabbly getting a filler like WoD was

sullen dawn
#

I say the same about dragon isles

#

If dragon isles I might wait till 10.0

modest temple
#

like nyalotha. its probably all they have conceptually

sullen dawn
#

Unless it's like 9.2 stuff

dense plover
#

dragon isles is almost definitely the core or focus of next expac at this point

#

too much dragon dialogue

#

way too much

cyan prairie
#

In my opinion the Dragon Isles would work better as a single patch since there is nothing to do there, after N'zoth is dead - since there are shrines of N'zoth there, i see no reason to go there if N'zoth is already dead.

dense plover
#

they talk about senegos being at the nexus

#

that wasnt neccesary

sullen dawn
#

But theres a huge amount of death dialogue too

dense plover
#

no there isnt

#

not since sylvanas left

sullen dawn
#

Yeh but for like 70% of the expansion

jade basalt
#

And it'd just be very weird to sum up the entire afterlife as that one landmass you play on. It's like the Emerald Dream or Ny'alotha, they couldn't translate an entire dimension/universe into a continent, it would be very odd, so instead we only get glimpses of them, through a raid or quest etc.

cyan prairie
#

There are many more death-related things in BfA than to dragons

dense plover
#

no there arent

cyan prairie
#

The Dragons role in BfA is to help us fight N'zoth

dense plover
#

literally the entire heart questline is dragons

#

thats the core of bfa

sullen dawn
#

Dude

distant folio
#

"So that's the afterlife?"
"Yeah the afterlife is just like 4-5 zones."

sullen dawn
#

That's just 8.2

dense plover
#

uh, no

cyan prairie
#

The entire questline is making another Dragon Soul to defeat N'zoth

modest temple
#

not core. but an added element

sullen dawn
#

8.0 and 8.1 have way more death stuff

dense plover
#

did you do any of the heart level up quests?

#

oh shit

modest temple
#

never thought of the quests like that

dense plover
#

wait

modest temple
#

huh

dense plover
#

that is 8.2

novel zodiac
#

8.1 was about death

#

what about the vol'jin quest?

dense plover
#

i still expect 9.0 to be dragon isles

cyan prairie
#

Dragons appeared randomly and suddenly they are the main content?

dense plover
#

since 8.3 isnt

#

dragon isles is an easy set of zones too

#

each dragon has a core theme

cyan prairie
#

But

#

it's

#

boring

sullen dawn
#

8.0 (gorak Tull, thros, witches, zul)

dense plover
#

and wrathion has been looking at them

#

what makes it boring?

cyan prairie
#

Everything?

dense plover
#

list

#

them

cyan prairie
#

We don't even have a reason to go there

dense plover
#

WRATHION HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM

novel zodiac
#

we already got a dragons expansion

dense plover
#

AND WE ARE HELPING WRATHION

sullen dawn
#

8.1 (bwonsamdi, vol jin, lich king, eyir)

dense plover
#

wrathion is literally a direct tie in

cyan prairie
#

And we helped the Mag'har with their Draenei problem

modest temple
#

eh.. i liked the idea of a floating island with some titan tower or w/e in the center. but i like sonic and knuckles

sullen dawn
#

Wrathions a dweeb

cyan prairie
#

are we going back to Draenor?

dense plover
#

thats not even equivalent

forest sphinx
#

No. I think the dragon isles are near Northrend

dense plover
#

youre comparing an AR questline to an entire patch and a half

modest temple
#

probably not, considering how hard it was for someone to get there

#

or out of there

dense plover
#

theyre inbetween lordaeron and Northrend

novel zodiac
#

who the fuck is Gorak Tul?, i know he's a boss in a dungeon, but wtf?

jade basalt
#

What I find really interesting is this new line from Il'gynoth in Ny'alotha

Before the last shadow falls, the Father of Sleep shall savor his feast.

I'm usually not one for theories or reading too much into things, but this seems to be a direct reference to Traveler, wher Mueh'zala, who by the way has "Father of Sleep" as one of his titles, says he shall feast on all of Azeroth.

Not saying Shadowlands is correct or whatever, just, it seems that Mueh'zala's completely random appearance at the time in Traveler may have actually had a purpose.

dense plover
#

they could definitely focus on death stuff

#

and considering the whispers dont stop

#

guess what other old god is big and bad?

cyan prairie
#

Everything leading to a death related expansion > Dragon aspects appearing just because of N'zoth

sullen dawn
#

This is why I like the original map leak of shadowlands

dense plover
#

and has been alive since the start of i think bfa or legion

modest temple
#

gorak tul is explained in drustvar and the final culminating launch content quest for alliance

novel zodiac
#

Malfurion is the Father of Sleep?

sullen dawn
#

Cos it says 4 zones in shadowlands, 2 in dragon isles (for those with poor taste)

dense plover
#

they wouldnt do that

novel zodiac
#

@modest temple oh, i didn't played the alliance side yet

austere gazelle
#

father of sleep is Mueh'zala

dense plover
#

a 2 zone loadscreen as main content?

#

jesus

modest temple
#

its a fun story

distant folio
#

Wait I'm confused, @dense plover do you like or do you not like the idea of Dragon Isles as a continent (sorry I've had some trouble following the conversation)

dense plover
#

im not for or against it

austere gazelle
#

the last line he had on travelers reference him " feasting on all of azeroth " when he'll return

modest temple
#

very low stakes. its a threat against a zone and maybe a person. wish we had more low stakes but interesting stories

unborn glacier
#

@jade basalt "What I find really interesting is this new line from Il'gynoth in Ny'alotha

I'm usually not one for theories or reading too much into things, but this seems to be a direct reference to Traveler, wher Mueh'zala, who by the way has "Father of Sleep" as one of his titles, says he shall feast on all of Azeroth."

Its not a direct reference to Traverler. It is actually a direct reference to a tablet in Zul'farak dedicated to Mueh'Zala, listing his many titles; namely, Father of Sleep.

forest sphinx
#

Travelers? Are we talking about the book?

dense plover
#

im against shadowlands because it, as a place, literally doesnt exist

unborn glacier
#

It is still in game

dense plover
#

its similar to the emerald dream

#

a sub plane

sullen dawn
#

But we can visit emerald dream

dense plover
#

i mean, when we die, the shadowy place we see, is the shadowlands

#

its literally like a veil

cyan prairie
#

The Dragon Isles would make much more sense if the Dragon Aspects were actually too weak to empower Heart of Azeroth against N'zoth and if we failed to kill him. We would go there to empower the aspects and find out how to kill or at least weaken N'zoth.

jade basalt
#

@unborn glacier I'm not sure if you've read my entire comment, because I mention that. But in Traveler, Mueh'zala shows up and says he shall feast on all Azeroth. And Il'gynoth says "the Father of Sleep shall savor his feast." So Il'gynoth is, possibly, referencing that line from Traveler.

sullen dawn
#

If we can visit emerald dream we can visit shadowlands

dense plover
#

you can visit the shadowlands

#

go die

modest temple
#

it took a long time b4 we got some version of the ED

dense plover
#

that grey version of the world?

sullen dawn
#

Exactly

cyan prairie
#

N'zoth dies in the next raid, so we have no reason to go to the Dragon Isles. And saying that "Wrathion is trying to find them" is a bad reason since he did everything ALONE so far.

dense plover
#

thats the shadowlands

sullen dawn
#

I know

modest temple
#

you poked it in wrath then we got nothing for years

cyan prairie
#

Why would he suddenly need our help

unborn glacier
#

No, you said it was a reference to Traveler. You didn't mention ZF at all, where the title first appeared all the way back in Vanilla and is still there today I believe

modest temple
#

isnt the shadowlands just where the player character goes when they die?

austere gazelle
#

shadowlands is a place, and so is azeroth, and we're having small part of Azeroth each xpack. why not a part of the shadowlands ?

cyan prairie
#

especially since the greatest threat to him (N'zoth) is already dead?

unborn glacier
#

@jade basalt

austere gazelle
#

Draenor is a planet, but we only go to a precise part

modest temple
#

there isnt much there... we see it every time we die

sullen dawn
#

A shadowlands 'continent'doesnt have to be a place. It could be a landmass we havent been too in azeroth but theres nothing there in the normal plane

#

Just dust I normal plane/everything hidden behind veil

modest temple
#

eh... ghost land mass?

cyan prairie
#

Shadowlands is like Emerald Nightmare or Emerald Dream

#

or Ny'alotha

sullen dawn
#

A normal land mass

jade basalt
#

@unborn glacier I'm not sure what's difficult to understand: yes, his title was established in Zul'Farrak 15 years ago, but that's irrelevant to the fact that Il'gynoth is referencing Mueh'zala's line about him "savoring his feast on Azeroth" from Traveler.

cyan prairie
#

not physically in our world

modest temple
#

but in a ghost only world

sullen dawn
#

Which is desolate in our side

modest temple
#

ghost land

sullen dawn
#

It still exists on our side

#

Just you see nothing except dirt

modest temple
#

ok. im with you... get some lttp stuff to flip between life and death there

sullen dawn
#

Yeh just a concept

modest temple
#

i dig it

cyan prairie
#

"Before the last shadow falls, the Father of Sleep shall savor his feast" - Before we kill N'zoth, Mueh'zala will get powerful enough to do his "stuff"

#

That's how i understand it

modest temple
#

thats if nzoth is the last shadow

#

probably is. last one we have had to fight

cyan prairie
#

Since he's the last Old God to defeat

tropic trail
#

Ilgynoth whisper ist 100% referring to traveler in the First place. That should be clear. But also the zul farak thing

cyan prairie
#

ZF is like 15 years old, and name "Father of Sleep" appeared only there so far

sullen dawn
#

My dog is the father of sleep

#

Literally all he does

unborn glacier
#

@jade basalt I'm just stating you used Traveler as the establishment of the title, when for the majority, that book is non-canon to my best knowledge. The logic behind introducing this random person we know nothing about to the story to defeat the God of Death with a Diamond Sword is ridiculous. I just wanted to make sure someone corrected your connection of the title coming from Traveler and not being in-game well before the book ever existed.

jade basalt
#

I'm just stating you used Traveler as the establishment of the title
No I did not.

#

when for the majority, that book is non-canon to my best knowledge.
And no that is not correct either.

cyan prairie
#

Mueh'zala appeared before Traveler

unborn glacier
#

"I'm usually not one for theories or reading too much into things, but this seems to be a direct reference to Traveler, wher Mueh'zala, who by the way has "Father of Sleep" as one of his titles, says he shall feast on all of Azeroth."

Your own words, my friend

jade basalt
#

Read those words.

#

Where do I say "this title comes from Traveler"?

unborn glacier
#

I did

cyan prairie
#

He was mentioned in Zul'farrak

sullen dawn
#

Theres a mueh'zala shrine in zandalar

unborn glacier
#

You imply it

cyan prairie
#

on one of the stone Tablets

jade basalt
#

No I don't.

tropic trail
#

How are the treveler Not Canon if WE habe even Charakters appearing ingame from that book

jade basalt
#

I said "who, BY THE WAY, has this title". I didn't say where the title comes from.

distant folio
#

Dude are you blind? @unborn glacier

unborn glacier
#

No

#

@tropic trail Name the main characters from Traveler that appear in game.

distant folio
#

He literally did not say that the title comes from Traveler.

cyan prairie
distant folio
#

He said "Mueh'zala, who by the way has this title, says something in Traveler".

#

It does not mean the title comes from Traveler. That's basic English.

tropic trail
#

I don't know the names anymore, but there are some people on the mechagon island from traveler's, if I'm not wrong

unborn glacier
#

No, those are from Hearthstone

distant folio
#

"Brad Pitt, who by the way has a car, said something in a movie" does not mean Brad Pitt got his car from the movie.

cyan prairie
#

On Mechagon you meet characters from HS

tropic trail
#

They are from hearthstone? Oh ok then

unborn glacier
#

@distant folio That is a disingenuous comparison

distant folio
#

No it's literally the exact same sentence structure

unborn glacier
#

Nope.

tropic trail
#

But I think it's still Canon. The Traveler books

unborn glacier
#

You are being intentionally reductionist

distant folio
#

It LITERALLY is, I replaced the name "Mueh'zala" by another name "Brad Pitt", I replaced the object "a title" by the object "a car", and I replaced the location "in Traveler" by the location "in a movie". It's the EXACT same sentence structure.

#

Only now it made you realize that you read it incorrectly.

unborn glacier
#

No

cyan prairie
#

If Blizz (after 15 years) remembers who Mueh'zala is and mentions him in BfA with shrines, Bwonsamdi mentioning his "boss" and even a matching title i doubt it to be an accident.

distant folio
#

What "no"?

unborn glacier
#

You are being disingenuous.

distant folio
#

What

#

Dude all you've done for the last 20 minutes is just say "no" to everyone without ever saying one correct thing, just no no no. Great argument there.

sullen dawn
#

People always throw that word around

unborn glacier
#

No, just to you

sullen dawn
#

Disingenuous..

jade basalt
#

I mean this is not even a debate. I did not say that Mueh'zala's title came from Traveler, I stated that he said something in Traveler. Where his title came from, I did not address.

sullen dawn
#

Hes providing a completely logical string of thoughts with no false pretence

#

It's not even in question. You're just being obnoxious ranger

unborn glacier
#

I have corrected many incorrect things in here already, namely Titled claiming the League of Explorers characters from HS are from Traveler

distant folio
#

Traveler story elements HAVE appeared in the game you peanut

#

Not these ones, but some others.

unborn glacier
#

Name any of the main characters from Traveler appearing in game

tropic trail
#

Yes, that was my mistake

white quartz
#

Ranger Ive watched this entire thing and it sure as hell looks like you just came here looking for a fight

sullen dawn
#

But incorrect and disingenuous are not the same thing anyway..

austere gazelle
#

Ranger, you're wrong. Period xD

distant folio
#

The book established that "Flllurlokkr" is the Nerglish word for fisherman. Flllurlokkr was later added in Legion, becoming the first in-game reference of the book.

forest sphinx
#

I don't want to do this but is there a <@&299347348847329281> watching this conversation?

rotund sorrel
#

yes

unborn glacier
#

No Kala, I sinply wanted to correct Mind and point out the title originates in-game in ZF all the way back in vanilla. People got defensive ๐Ÿคท

cyan prairie
#

Maybe instead of arguing we could actually go back to the actual discussion?

austere gazelle
#

no, you badely interpretated what he was saying

#

and act defensive

jade basalt
#

I literally did not say anything about where the title came from, so there's nothing to correct.

#

I just said "who, by the way, has "Father of Sleep" as one of his titles" - not where it comes from.

sullen dawn
#

Yeh lets go back to the actual conversation of why shadowlands is superior to dragon isles

dense plover
#

neither are superior

#

both are unknown

sullen dawn
#

I'm messing man ;)

#

Even tho you know which one I prefer

tropic trail
#

What Mind said was, that ilgynoth s whisper is referring to the Traveler books, because Mueh'Zala literally says there he wants to feast on azeroth. And ilgynoth says that he shall have his feast when the last shadow falls

unborn glacier
#

Your statement implied its origin is from Traveler. I'm sorry you can't understand that. Maybe word yourself a little better and not become defensive when I apply friendly critique.

rotund sorrel
#

๐Ÿ‘€

cyan prairie
#

Guys come on, stop arguing over such stupid things

dense plover
#

"I dont like the way you said it"

jade basalt
#

Your statement implied its origin is from Traveler.
Nope. There is literally nothing in the sentence "who, by the way, has "Father of Sleep" as one of his titles" that says anything about the origin of the title.

Let's go back to the actual expansion discussion?

tranquil steeple
#

I have two varying reactions while reading all of this: KEKW and eppeW

cyan prairie
#

plz

distant folio
#

@unborn glacier So if I wrote "Deathwing, who by the way has "the Destroyer" as one of his titles, said he wants to destroy the world in a magazine", does that mean that the title "the Destroyer" comes from a magazine?

cyan prairie
#

Ah shit. Here we go again...

rotund sorrel

Okay, I'm going to step in and actually say "please change the discussion topic"

because apparently the eyes and coughing don't mean a thing ๐Ÿ™‚

distant folio

This guy randomly butts in and starts attacking and "correcting" people who haven't even said what he claims they said for no reason, and then gets mad, I can't

OH sorry, I typed this before you typed this

unborn glacier

Attacking

rotund sorrel

Again, let's change the discussion topic ๐Ÿ™‚

tranquil steeple

[11:27 PM] Onyx: Okay, I'm going to step in and actually say "please change the discussion topic"

unborn glacier

Please don't try to apply malicious intent

rotund sorrel
#

I don't want to make this a song and go for a third verse

unborn glacier
#

Anyways, I'm sure we'll see elements of Traveler appear in-game, but much in the same way Golden had to beg for the devs to use Calia instead of someone else, I doubt Blizz with introduce an entirely new set of characters from a book with no whit no history in game before. Especially that kid being the one to fight Mueh'Zala with a Diamond Sword.

cyan prairie
#

Traveler might not be canon, but Mueh'zala for sure is

unborn glacier
#

Oh most definitely

#

He has been since Vanilla

cyan prairie
#

Yeah and since Kimbul, first mentioned here

#

appeared in BfA

dense plover
#

golden didnt have to beg the devs

#

calia was in legion

sullen dawn
#

Ok new topic. If we did go to the shadowlands. What bosses would you like to see?

cyan prairie
#

Hakkar

dense plover
#

^shouldve been in this expac too

cyan prairie
#

Maybe Kel'thuzad (he's still doing something somewhere)

peak fern
#

Kel'Thuzad?

dense plover
#

literal troll heavy expac

#

and no hakkar

unborn glacier
#

@dense plover From what I heard, the position Calia fills right now, not Legion, was supposed to be a different character.

sullen dawn
#

Hakkar would be amazing

dense plover
#

i havent heard that

cyan prairie
#

More than choosing bosses, i'd like to meet some dead characters

dense plover
#

dont know who told you that

cyan prairie
#

like Cairne

sullen dawn
#

I'd like to see him looking more like this

dense plover
#

it honestly sounds like bullshit

distant folio
#

Traveler is canon. There is nothing saying that it is non-canon. And WoWpedia does not list it as non-canon.

dense plover
#

theres no current way to know whether it is or isnt

novel zodiac
#

books shouldn't be canon

dense plover
#

wowpedia has no more knowledge than we do

novel zodiac
#

if its not in the game then fuck it

dense plover
#

and the devs havent said

sullen dawn
dense plover
#

as I said, shouldve been a boss this expac

distant folio
#

@novel zodiac It is in the game. Well, some elements of Traveler have made it into the game.

novel zodiac
#

Its not the same

cyan prairie
#

The only reference to Hakkar we got in BfA was Rastakhan's armor

sullen dawn
#

Also agreed maldrak. Loads of scope for returning people

novel zodiac
#

you can't learn all of it in the game

cyan prairie
#

that looked as if it was made of his "parts"

sullen dawn
#

Imagine orgrim doomhammer or anduin lothar?

jade basalt
#

Books are generally canon by default unless stated otherwise.
The RPG books for instance were declared non-canon. Traveler is canon, as far as we know, and it is even referenced in-game.

peak fern
#

I think the reason why Hakkar didn't appear is because there was already a blood god, G'huun

cyan prairie
#

We could meet Grom there too

sullen dawn
#

Or if not that far back..at least uther, cairne etc..

#

I'd imagine hakkar would be punishing blood trolls for worshiping ghuun

cyan prairie
#

Hakkar would need to fight against Mueh'zala i think

unborn glacier
#

The only bit of Traveler referenced in game is him telling a child with a Diamond Sword, that if the Child doesn't defeat him when the time comes, he was feast on all of Azeroth. Beyond that one moment, nothing else from Traveler has made it in game.

novel zodiac
#

I really hope they get rid of the followers/mission table in the next expansion

distant folio
#

I have no idea where this weird idea that the Traveler books are not canon comes from, I had literally never heard that theory before, but there is nothing stating they are non-canon. Until Blizzard says they are not canon (which they have no reason to do), they are perfectly canon.

cyan prairie
#

since all the Blood Trolls had their souls go to Bwonsamdi

#

who most probably is working for Hakkar

#

yyh Mueh'zala*

jade basalt
#

@unborn glacier That is wrong, again. There's also this:

The book established that "Flllurlokkr" is the Nerglish word for fisherman. Flllurlokkr was later added in Legion, becoming the first in-game reference of the book.

unborn glacier
#

I view Traveler in the same way as the Modan comics. Major events in those comics ended up becoming canonized events referenced in game whilst the majority of the comics themselves being decalred non-canon.

distant folio
#

@unborn glacier Lol great argument. "Aside from the times that Traveler is referenced in-game, there is no reference of Traveler in-game!"

sullen dawn
#

Are we back to this?

tropic trail
#

Golden had to bag the Team to make Calia what she is now. She wasn't even planned for before the storm. This was tweeted even by herself to Taliesin @dense plover

dense plover
#

non of the medan comics were declared canon

cyan prairie
#

It's time to stop...

dense plover
#

they literally went and rewrote that entire story

#

thats not even equivalent ranger

distant folio
#

the comics are still like 80% canon

jade basalt
#

Technically The Comic is still canon. The only thing that was declared non-canon is Med'an becoming Guardian.

#

So the story still unfolded, just slightly differently.

unborn glacier
#

^

distant folio
#

Basically just the last comic or two, out of 25? and even then, not much changes

sullen dawn
#

Maybe new expansion is called 'Rise of Me'dan'

unborn glacier
#

xD

peak fern
#

is Med'an even canon at this point? xD

unborn glacier
#

No

jade basalt
#

He is canon.

unborn glacier
#

How?

jade basalt
#

But him being the Guardian is not canon.

forest sphinx
#

You guys need to stop. I do not want to see you in trouble.

sullen dawn
#

They fired him out of gallywixes cannon yeh

distant folio
#

@tropic trail

Golden had to bag the Team to make Calia what she is now. She wasn't even planned for before the storm. This was tweeted even by herself to Taliesin

Wait do you have a source for this?

#

Med'an is still canon, TECHNICALLY. but he is conveniently "forgotten", kind of like Medivh was for...10 years?

tropic trail
#

Check her Twitter

distant folio
#

Her twitter has thousands of tweets

tropic trail
#

It's a conversation with Taliesin

sullen dawn
#

Medivh will probably return I'd say

distant folio
#

Do you have a date or something?

tropic trail
#

I can't do it right. Now

unborn glacier
#

Med'an is the Son of Medivh and Garona in the comics. How the hell is he canon? Blizz even referenced his new non-existence in Chronicles by putting him on pages 404 and then intentionally not putting a page 404 in the book.

sullen dawn
#

In like 3 expansions from now

tropic trail
#

I'm in a movie

jade basalt
#

Med'an is the Son of Medivh and Garona in the comics. How the hell is he canon?

Nothing contradicts him being the son of Medivh and Garona, so that's how.

dense plover
#

he can still technically exist

#

we just have no evidence

#

if he does ever return, there will probably be a book

#

IF

#

but there are no currently canon mentions of his existence anymore

jade basalt
#

They did mark him as 404, but technically this only means he is missing from Chronicle, not that he is retconned. And Chronicle was missing a lot of things as well. I mean they probably do want to retcon him out of existence, but so far, they haven't done it.

unborn glacier
#

Med'an is defintely a character Blizz would like to forget; this is, again, furthered by the fact that intentionally did not include him in Chronicles.

jade basalt
#

Yeah, I have not said the opposite.

distant folio
#

Ranger you really need to improve your reading comprehension

#

Everyone agrees that Blizz probably wants to forget about Med'an

#

But so far he is still technically canon, he is mentioned in interviews and short stories and comics. They may or may not decide to retcon him one day.

cyan prairie
#

We need to find the difference between characters being canon and their actions being canon

#

Many things in warcraft movie weren't canon, but the there characters still were

#

It was easier tho, since these characters appeared in game

sullen dawn
unborn glacier
#

XD

jade basalt
#

Well the movie is not a great example, but yes you are correct. A character can remain canon while their actions can be retconned.

#

For instance Suramar is still canon, but what happened to it during the War of the Ancients was retconned.

#

Med'an is still canon, but some of what he did in the comics (becoming the Guardian) is retconned.

unborn glacier
#

Didn't Blizz say the movie is it's own universe?

dense plover
#

yes

cyan prairie
#

We get a story where we see Anduin at his old age, when he can pretty much die at any moment for any reason

jade basalt
#

In the sense that it is separate from WoW canon, yes.

dense plover
#

the wow comic with old anduin is canon

#

its why the going theory is he has plot armor

#

ofc that all couldve been a vision from the light

cyan prairie
#

Nah, there are arguments over it too

unborn glacier
#

Those characters actions are canon to the movie AU, just not to the main universe.

dense plover
#

in which case its one of thousands of outcomes

#

and thats just the one the light showed

cyan prairie
#

The comic is already called non-canon by people

distant folio
#

Don't listen to people

#

Listen to Blizzard. And if Blizzard haven't said anything, then there's nothing to debate.

cyan prairie
#

If they don't say it's canon then we can't say if it is or if it isn't

jade basalt
#

It is canon by default.

distant folio
#

It is canon, unless they specifically state that it is not canon.

unborn glacier
#

We are always free to speculate and hypothesize, no matter what, until the hand of God that is Blizz says otherwise.

jade basalt
#

Otherwise they would have to put out a PR statement saying "it's canon!" for every single thing they produce, every single quest, comic, novel or cinematic, which would be silly. Metzen literally said something along those lines many years ago. That's why everything is canon, except if they specifically say it's not.

#

Like they did with the RPG books.

distant folio
#

^^^^^

cyan prairie
#

That's what i'm trying to tell - if Blizz doesn't directly say it's non canon, it can still be canon

sullen dawn
#

Exactly

cyan prairie
#

(I know that trying to say that such small details are something relevent is kinda dumb, but the Zul'farrak NPCs are called Soul-Eaters, and their Loa is Mueh'zala(Just a tiny detail i'd like to mention)).

distant folio
#

that's neat actually!

THE LEAKS ARE GOING IN EVERY DIRECTION

#

xD

distant folio
tropic trail
#

lol

#

that one is fake 100000%

#

they cant look that good to be a leak

#

:v

white quartz
#

The one with the most credibility by far is the Bolvar one. That and the Twilight of the Aspects one but that one is mainly due to the fact it still fits with everything thats happened in BFA as of now at least to my knowledge.

tropic trail
#

i think Bolvar isnt

#

im hoping for the Aspects one

distant folio
#

the Aspects one's logo looks a lot like this Shadowlands logo lol

white quartz
#

Oh its certainly possible the Bolvar one is fake. However. It is the one that looks the most real and the image of Bolvar at the very least seems VERY real. The shop stuff could have been BS but the actual image could be the real deal but as we have all said a thousand times. Gotta wait for Friday ๐Ÿ™‚

tropic trail
white quartz
#

That one I donno about. I think it cooould be real but the same goes for the Shadowlands title as well

#

Either could easily be a thing

sullen dawn
#

That new shadowlands logo is so nice

#

With the souls energy in it and skeletonal heads on the sides

modest temple
#

the image with the shadowlands one looks like some old art for fantasy books

#

brothers hildebrandt stuff

dark furnace
#

It doesn't look like what you'd expect the Shadowlands to look like

sullen dawn
#

Could be xiros

dark furnace
#

It looks Suramar-ish

sullen dawn
#

I'd imagine they wouldn't want all of shadowlands to be gloomy

#

That greek/Persian style fantasy suits a land of death too imo

modest temple
#

well i cropped out the title and searched with the image, got nothing. so it might be entirely new. idk

dark furnace
#

The old leak said that the greek style would be a thing, so it is either piggybacking off that one or the old one is true

sullen dawn
#

Different logo but that doesn't mean much as months have passed

#

This new one looks more distinct

dark furnace
#

But in the older leak there was no place called Bastion

cyan prairie
#

I'd love to see more Suramar-ish stuff in game

sullen dawn
#

Bastion could be city in xiros

cyan prairie
#

one of the two best cities in game

dark furnace
#

Or is that the continent?

sullen dawn
#

Perhaps

dark furnace
#

Couls be the city

sullen dawn
#

Only safe place in shadowlands?

#

Word bastion makes sense

#

Well 'safe'

dark furnace
#

What does the word mean?

#

I'm guessing its not the robot from Overwatch

sullen dawn
#

Somewhere to hold out against a force

#

Like 'the last bastion of defence'

cyan prairie
#

It could be our "base" there

dark furnace
#

But it says 'land' of Bastion though

cyan prairie
#

like Newhome in Nazjatar

sullen dawn
#

Yes but they could have named the continent Bastion to signify its importance

dark furnace
#

Yeah

#

I wonder when we're going to Gallynar

sullen dawn
#

Maybe rest of shadowland is consumed by hungering darkness

dark furnace
#

And part of the storyline is cleansing the different zones, opening up new content

modest temple
#

blizz has basically been using d&d races and monsters for the last while. nobel kyrian race in ghost world?

sullen dawn
#

Kyrian is a Greek word for 'lord'

#

Noble lords of death?

#

Something like this maybe?

#

Or more like this..

dark furnace
#

Perhaps it's the Undead allied race?

#

With the Dragon guys being the Worgen

strange falcon
#

๐Ÿค”

dark furnace
#

If its a dual zone expac with the Dragon Isles

#

As the older leak stated

cyan prairie
#

Tbh the BfA campaigns went kinda good

#

i mean

#

Zandalar > Kul'tiras

#

but whole idea

#

went pretty good

sullen dawn
cyan prairie
#

so we could get it again

#

With Horde going to Shadowlands because of Vol'jin coming back from there, Sylvanas doing Sylvanas things etc.

#

and alliance could go to Dragon Isles with Wrathion because... idk whatever

#

they can make 2 campaigns like they did in BfA, and i think i'd be fine with that

#

colorwise this guy fits the city as well

dark furnace
#

In the map leak, that was different from the cinematic leak, there was a place called the Sylverian Glade

cyan prairie
#

but i think the shop mount may be right to get compared there

#

This guy appeared in WoD

#

And in Legion we got Suramar

#

with more of them

modest temple
#

huh

#

<-

#

im a fan of runesabers

white quartz
#

Honestly I think that no matter what happens with 9.0 we will hopefully all be happy.It just feels like we are leading towards something really really big happening soon.

lime venture
#

Sylverian Dreamer

dark furnace
#

Sylverian Approach, which might be the city

sullen dawn
#

Wowwhrocket

#

That one image has got me more hyped than anything so far

dark furnace
#

But, in the middle of the map leak is Nyalotha (transit)

modest temple
#

im supposed to get food... but i love me some crazy theories

sullen dawn
#

Apparently just an entry point fiskian

dark furnace
#

I was just about to write that

#

The map could, even though its extremely unlikely, be real

#

It hasnr been deconfirmed yet

modest temple
#

which one?

dark furnace
#

Shadowlands map

cyan prairie
#

This picture would fit the description of shadowlands we got before

sullen dawn
#

The original shadowlands leak from july

cyan prairie
#

that it isn't as dark as most people would think

sullen dawn
#

Yes it could be xiros mauldrak

dark furnace
#

From July

white quartz
#

For the Nyalotha part it would kinda make sense if they just say that the raid is only a small part of Nyalotha

sullen dawn
#

They said xiros was calm and is where our city would be

modest temple
#

but why go back if we are moving to focus on another big bad

dark furnace
#

He kills us and we end up there perhaps

modest temple
#

nzoth?

sullen dawn
#

Maybe something happens in 8.3 cinematic

white quartz
#

That or it happens in 8.3.5

sullen dawn
#

He breaks the veil or something before we defeat him

dark furnace
#

Nevermind, the broadcast text

sullen dawn
#

Yeh

dark furnace
#

Thats what I meant

sullen dawn
#

The broadcast text doesn't mean he cant break the veil

#

We can still defeat him

austere gazelle
#

Why him?

#

it's sylvanas who break it

sullen dawn
#

Either way

dark furnace
#

Could be

white quartz
#

That could be the case as well for sure considering we dont even know what has given her the power she currently wields

modest temple
#

i dont think we will see nyalotha again. it exists as a potential nzoth wanted to create/recreated. he is just powerful enough to impose his will and make it interactable

#

for it to be a raid zone feels like this is all they have for it and its all we get

white quartz
#

Well the thing is this is the first time an Old God has been completely freed. Even if he does "lose" I can almost guarantee he wins by the end

sullen dawn
#

The guys who posted latest shadowlands leak also posted these at same time

dark furnace
#

This is what the regular book looks like

white quartz
#

While I do think D4 and OW2 will make an appearance those "leaks" You just posted Toby look SOOOO low effort

modest temple
#

well... can we find that image of "lilith"?

dark furnace
#

I think it might actually be real

craggy nexus
#

The biggest leak is that Deathwing is in Heroes of the Storm which means that Deathwing is going to still be alive in WoW. ๐Ÿ˜†

dark furnace
#

Cataclysm 2

white quartz
#

The Lilith one Im not really sure of. Is it in the new Diablo art book? Did they forget to remove those pages sent to sites like WoW until Blizzcon is over.... Like if thats real its very confusing how they missed that

craggy nexus
#

People tried to say Jaina was a dread lord because she got a dread lord skin in HotS.

modest temple
#

deathwing is because of the associated 15 years event

dark furnace
#

He was also the most requested character

craggy nexus
#

Yeah, I wasn't serious. Thus the laughing at the end.

dark furnace
#

@sullen dawn Can you send where you found the leak?

deep pawn
#

I'm 70% on board with it being shadowlands

sullen dawn
#

Weakauras

#

Their twitter account

tropic trail
#

im cool with Shadowlands as long as Tinkers arent a class lol

deep pawn
#

Black and White shadowlands sounds like the subversion blizzard would go

white quartz
#

Yes please. That Lilian one could be from the new artbook and have been forgotten to be taken out of the book at least until after Blizzcon.
Id love Shadowlands or Twilight of the Aspects to be real... so much

deep pawn
#

But every shadowlands leak mentioned tinkers

modest temple
#

looking through the monstermanual for lols to follow a thought i mentioned earlier. Calia looks like a Deva but wingless.

tropic trail
#

i dont think every leak mentioned it Kyle

modest temple
#

why would we have tinkers if we are going to ghost world?!

deep pawn
#

Ghostbusters

modest temple
#

also engineering exists and a profe.... shit

#

thats a good one

sullen dawn
#

Yeh Ghostbusters and transdimensional technology

craggy nexus
#

I am 100% all aboard if they go for a Black Empire returns expansion.

tropic trail
#

lol

deep pawn
#

I'm gonna laugh if it turns out val'kyr are just fake kyrians

tropic trail
#

i just want Dragon Isles lol

sullen dawn
#

Og map leak said ethereals played a role in xiros

deep pawn
#

Maybe dragon isles will be a patch zone

dark furnace
#

It would be a more psychotic Outland as well

deep pawn
#

Sylverian dreamer still seems to indicate dragon involvement

sullen dawn
#

Well one zone was said to be more psychedelic outland, not the whole continent t

#

The riftlands

tropic trail
dark furnace
#

Didn't the map leak include text aswell?

white quartz
#

I still honestly think that map can be real even with Nyalotha being a raid

tropic trail
#

thats the map from July

deep pawn
#

I think that map is wrong

white quartz
#

And yes but the text with the map was BS

sullen dawn
#

Yeh mostly because if word transit

modest temple
#

what is there a blocked out part

sullen dawn
#

*of

modest temple
#

why

deep pawn
#

Unless the ruins of nyalotha are the passage to the shadowlands

white quartz
#

Supposedly is blocked out due to it having the group number on it

sullen dawn
#

Or nzoth/sylvanas tears the veil at nyalotha

dark furnace
#

The veil vanes, his crown will open the way

#

Could it mean the Eye of Nzoth?

#

That the players weat

sullen dawn
#

Then bolvar opens icecrown for us to go through to

#

Bolvars crown

tropic trail
#

damn its been 3 months since that

sullen dawn
#

Xiros description spot on aligns with the new pic

tropic trail
#

oh yeah

white quartz
#

All I know is there is so much potential for these next two expacs to be amazing. Just so many cool things in play and Iโ€™m sure a lot of it will bring people back to the game if they left. Then again. Wonโ€™t know until Friday

peak fern
#

Ethereals in there? ๐Ÿค”

sullen dawn
#

Would make sense they can travel through the veil

#

Since they're...ethereal hehe

amber beacon
signal bone
#

Given the past trends, this expac should hopefully be another MoP / Legion

peak fern
#

it all sounds pretty interesting, but man, I wouldn't be surprised if we get something completely different lol

modest temple
#

eh. anytime i see Hakkar mentioned i roll my eyes

sullen dawn
#

Btw the blue eyes make more sense now

signal bone
#

I kind of agree Ola

sullen dawn
#

Check the colour scheme with bolvar

#

Blue and orange

#

Look behind him

dark furnace
#

Imagine Bolvar doing a Thanos "Fine I'll do it myself"

signal bone
#

but unlikely given Sylvanas is on the key art

sullen dawn
#

Blue and orange

signal bone
#

other wise I would think they would only hint at her activity after a time skip for the next expac

white quartz
#

@dark furnace If that happens it would be awesome

peak fern
#

fair enough

sullen dawn
#

New picture... blue and orange (ghosts and sa d)

amber beacon
#

Sylvanas is the key art so as not to give anything away tbh

#

She was also the key art the year BFA got announced

#

Or It was illidan

dark furnace
#

Wasn't that Jaina?

amber beacon
#

Might have been yeah

#

I know onw was jaina one was sylvanas

#

2016 was sylvanas I just checked my poster

#

2017 was jaina

#

Saurgang was last year

dark furnace
#

2018 Saurfang

peak fern
#

yeah

amber beacon
#

Chances are they're using sylvanas to not give anything away that we don't already know.

signal bone
#

doubtful

amber beacon
#

Since she went full fuck you all 3 weeks ago

signal bone
#

key art characters have always been heavily focused on in upcoming patches / expansions

dark furnace
#

Or to hint as to what tje theme is

#

Having Bolvsr would be too spoilery

signal bone
#

see Illidan, Jaina, Ashzara, Saurfang

white quartz
#

Well why would they put the Lich King on the key art. That would give everything away for his big return

deep pawn
#

Sylvanas could be the Guldan

amber beacon
#

Tracer deffo makes sense as the OW2 poster girl

deep pawn
#

Cinematic supposedly opens with Mei in danfert and saved by genji

white quartz
#

Sylvanas could easily be a big part of the next expac for sure and likely will be. But it wouldnโ€™t make any sense to put the Lich on the key set. Especially if they want to surprise people. And Tracer is the poster girl of OW. Iโ€™d be pissed if she isnโ€™t in OW2

dark furnace
#

Bolvar is a big reveal, evwryone already knows that Sylvanas will play a part

sullen dawn
#

I hope the cinematic ends with jaina whispering

#

"Arthas....?"

signal bone
#

I mean, Sylvanas is basically the main character of WoW

white quartz
#

@sullen dawn If that happened I would legit flip out

jade basalt
#

Currently.

amber beacon
#

To be honest I love sylvanas on account of Patty Madson does such a fucking phenomenal job at voice acting her.

signal bone
#

she has had the most attention of any character in the series at this point

deep pawn
#

I'll note the one leak that hints at Calia and Jaina searching for arthas's spirit

signal bone
#

more than Thrall and even Arthas / Illidan at this point

#

at least in WoW, maybe not warcraft as a whole

amber beacon
#

But with WC3 releasing this year it's pretty much guranteed the lich king will be alive some how whether bolvar or arthas

peak fern
#

yeah, considering Sylvanas was everywhere during BfA not having her in the next expansion wouldn't make sense, especially after all that death setup

amber beacon
#

Sylv's been set up since Legion for this. I wanna see Helya come back.

sullen dawn
#

I wonder if sylvanas looks like a normal elf in shadowlands

amber beacon
#

There's something going on between helya, azshara and sylvanas

signal bone
#

harem

sullen dawn
#

They mentioned helya looks kinder and prettier so maybe in shadowlands you appear as your true self

amber beacon
#

I also hope azshara survives 8.3

signal bone
#

honestly, give me more helya / odyn stuff

sullen dawn
#

Would be cool to see blonde sylvanas in game

signal bone
#

the gear from ToV was some of the best

#

way better than what BFA gave us

sullen dawn
#

Oh if shadowlands odyn will defo play a patt

signal bone
#

I thought when they said they were doing away with class sets we were gonna get ToV - tier gear

amber beacon
#

If we get our true selves in Shadowlands does this mean Nightborne finally get more faces than pissed off, pissed off and mega pissed off ๐Ÿ˜‚

sullen dawn
#

Well prolly find out he dicked over helya

uncut vault
#

The Sylvanas key art has her with small model changes, and a new weapon, they wouldnโ€™t put those details in if she werenโ€™t making a major appearance at Blizzcon

amber beacon
#

I wanna see bolvar vs sylvanas ngl

signal bone
#

isn't the weapon the dagger from the cinematic?

amber beacon
#

that would be epic

sullen dawn
#

I love odyn but hes an ass

uncut vault
#

Yes, she still has one of them

amber beacon
#

ALSO MORE ZAPPI BOI

uncut vault
#

No thanks

white quartz
#

@amber beacon Imagine what the crowd would be like if it opens up with Sylvanas fighting Bolvar. Oh my

amber beacon
#

I'd probably need new pants on more than one occasion ๐Ÿ˜‚

sullen dawn
#

I hope we stumble upon saurfang and saurfang junior hanging out

amber beacon
#

Saurfang still makes me sad ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

white quartz
#

Saurfang and his son just having tea time

signal bone
#

I would like a more subdued cinematic this time

mighty wolf
#

Whats the reason of Sylvanas vs Bolvar? ๐Ÿค”

sullen dawn
#

Exactly

signal bone
#

like WoTLK

#

every other one has been really action-ey

sullen dawn
#

Just relaxing under the sylverian sun

amber beacon
#

Maybe vol'jin will pop up in the cinematic (One can truely hope)

modest temple
#

eh. i dont want to see ghosts of ppl that are dead. i want new characters to want to care about. not banking on our feelings about old dead ones, like they did in wod

signal bone
#

seeing as we seem to be getting more cinematics in general these days, it's only a matter of time before Bolvar gets into one

white quartz
#

It would be pretty cool if the next cinematic mimicked the original Wrath cinematic to a degree. Still my fav cinematic to date

signal bone
#

seeing he is being built up to be a major character at some point

amber beacon
#

Well we had a lot of arthas references in Anduin throughout BFA

sullen dawn
#

Man if its shadowlands they will milk the hell out of the spirits thing

signal bone
#

yeah, WoTLK is still the best one

#

legion easily the worst for me

uncut vault
#

Sylvanas will either be the voice over for the feature reveal, with a new model reveal at the end like Jaina, or be the major character in the cinematic. One of the two is essentially guaranteed

sullen dawn
#

Old characters will be EVERYWHERE

amber beacon
#

Anduin storming into the throne room was a shot for shot of the WC3 cinematic

Anduin climbing the tower in the saurfang cinematic in swamp of sorrows was a replica of his ascension to the frozen throne

signal bone
#

maybe they're gearing him up to destroy the helm of domination and the scourge for good

mighty wolf
#

Will we meet Khadgar in 9.x? khadgarface

amber beacon
#

We know Bolvar's up to something if we're getting allied race dks

sullen dawn
#

Prolly not

peak fern
#

nah he's too busy doing nothing

sullen dawn
#

I reckon no more dadghar until 10.p

#

10.0

with the exception of pandaren there's no way in hell any of the other dks could have been risen until whatevers coming

oh and dark iron and maybe Kul tiran

tropic trail

World of Warcraft: Dadghar's Return

amber beacon

If it's not a faction war kadghar will return โค

Kadghar wouldn't choose between horde and alliance

amber beacon
#

I want more flynn fairwind. Period.

#

Good old dadghar

mighty wolf

World of Khadgar happy

he's such a boring character

peak fern
#

a faction war begins
Khadgar: ight imma head out

sullen dawn

Hes just our collective dad

amber beacon
#

There's a lot of talk about ravens from Ilgynoth

modest temple
#

the dks races are all people that were involved with the 4th war

amber beacon
#

so maybe dadgar is back

signal bone
#

I still think we're going to get a class from out of left-field

#

not necros or tinkers

amber beacon
#

BARDS PLS

sullen dawn
#

He went out for cigarettes at end of legion and never came back

signal bone
#

they still need another class that uses guns / bows

amber beacon
#

I WANT TO SING MY ENEMY INTO SUBMISSION

#

It needs to be a mail wearing class

signal bone
#

that wouldn't be tinkers

sullen dawn
#

Tinkere could be mail

signal bone
#

possibly dark rangers, but I doubt they would be called dark rangers

modest temple
#

just make what we have stronger and remove the weapon ability restrictions.

amber beacon
#

I wonder if they'll have found a way to level squish

signal bone
#

i honestly could care less about the squich

#

squish*

#

it doesn't actually do anything to the game

#

other than possibly ease mental barriers from new characters

#

but that's easily alleviated by boosts

#

when you buy the expac

#

it's probably inevitable, but I don't see why it's anything to get excited for

amber beacon
#

130 levels is insane. The real pain in the ass sets in about 60-80 for most people who just go cba

dense plover
#

its the same amount of xp

signal bone
#

I mean, it's all in your head

dense plover
#

a lvl squish wont change the rate to max

#

its gonna take the same amount of time

signal bone
#

it's exactly the same as it currently is with a different number

dense plover
#

^

signal bone
#

plus, who actually cares that we're 120 or 60?

amber beacon
#

You'd actually adjsut the Xp to be more in line based on the curve it's not a simple squish the main number

dense plover
#

also 60-80 isnt as bad anymore

signal bone
#

especially with boosts

sullen dawn
#

Imo level squish/world revamp are 10.0 if shadowlands is next

signal bone
#

at this point, everyone should have at least 5 alts at high levels

#

world revamp sounds like a WoW X feature

#

aka 10.0

sullen dawn
#

Ye

novel zodiac
#

what about WoW 2?

dense plover
#

not gonna happen

amber beacon
#

They said they won't revamp the world anymore. Not with the ability to shard based on level

sullen dawn
#

I always thought 9.0 felt one expansion too soon

signal bone
#

what if I told you we're already playing wow 2

amber beacon
#

So what happened to undercity is the way things will be moving forward

dense plover
#

pretty much

sullen dawn
#

9.0 Shadowlands

#

10.0 Reorigination

#

11.0 off to space

signal bone
#

11.0 other side of azeroth

mighty wolf
#

Omegalul

signal bone
#

or yeah, karesh

zealous basalt
#

What are we talking about

signal bone
#

lvl squish / world revamp

#

and why it's not happening

#

and also why it's not that big of a deal in the first place

#

imo

zealous basalt
#

I will tell you why is it a big deal

sullen dawn
#

It is long term

zealous basalt
#

Because after level 100

sullen dawn
#

Just not right this second

signal bone
#

maybe not world revamp, but if world revamp = just world quests in every zone, count me out

zealous basalt
#

There is no rewards for leveling

signal bone
#

how does a squish help that

zealous basalt
#

Besides reaching the cap

amber beacon
#

It's huge long term. if they do the next 5 expansions they have planned then level 150-160 no body is gonna want that.

zealous basalt
#

...

#

Because

#

...Do you really want me to state the obvious?

signal bone
#

wow is a max level game, caring about what you get when you level is such a transient issue

zealous basalt
#

Have you leveled lately?

novel zodiac
#

why would they make that poll about the lvl squish then?

signal bone
#

yes, I have every class at max

zealous basalt
#

But like

sullen dawn
#

Yeh and also zones in 13.0 are gonna look fucking amazing compared to old stuff

zealous basalt
#

Did you actually leveled in BfA so far?

signal bone
#

because they will likely do it, but I don't see why it's an expansion worthy feature

sullen dawn
#

Being in azeroth will feel like a broken game

zealous basalt
#

Because compare BfA to older xpacs

#

Lets say

amber beacon
#

Point being most classes don't also get AOE until 63 for example. Like wtf is up with that?

zealous basalt
#

MoP

signal bone
#

yes? I have every char at 120

Where the talents were every 15 levels and it feels rewarding because how the spells were sorted

#

the problem atm is

#

that most of the classes

signal bone
#

I never remembered caring

#

my goal was max level, as is most players

amber beacon
#

the only class that gets talens post 100 is dhs.

signal bone
#

plus, most people can skip leveling with the boosts you get from an expac now

zealous basalt
#

or at least half have issues when coming to how you sort every attack

#

Like

#

Let me say something here

novel zodiac
#

that's a bad excuse

signal bone
#

the thing that sucked about bfa leveling was the shit scaling as you got higher

zealous basalt
#

Ww monks for example

#

No no

modest temple
#

it would be nice to only lvl my allied race to 60 or something then 110 for the armor. its just boring.

signal bone
#

but that has nothing to do with talents

zealous basalt
#

Scaling is a perfect thing

#

Like

novel zodiac
#

if they sell a ilvl boost in the next expansion it would be an excuse to make shitty raids?

zealous basalt
#

It's the bset thing to come to leveling

amber beacon
#

Benthic gear was a mistake.

zealous basalt
#

AHEM can i speak

novel zodiac
#

why would you want good raids when you can buy a boost?

#

dude, you can write long sentences, don't push ENTER every 3 words

modest temple
#

like, who even does wod anymore. you just stick all that bonus xp then run around doing 1 or 2 zones event areas and you blow past it in 3 hours

amber beacon
#

there's like 3 conversations going on we're not going to stop for you

zealous basalt
#

Sigh what happened to coordiality

#

Fine then

signal bone
#

all I'm saying is, a squish is an band-aid on a transient issue that barely affects most players

deep pawn
#

I'm sold on a black and white shadowlands leading into a light vs void expansion

amber beacon
#

A level squish will also be a lot more appealing to returning players regardless of the boost or not. It'll also attract new players who want to experience the game but 120 levels feels too much of a grind.

signal bone
#

squish won't automatically make leveling better

#

it's a start probably, but there's much bigger problems to confront

novel zodiac
#

to make leveling better they need to brinb back the old talent tree

deep pawn
#

No

novel zodiac
#

and not give talent ponts every 15 LEVELS

signal bone
#

no they don't

amber beacon
#

The new party feature is good for levelling tbh

novel zodiac
#

nobody levels in party

signal bone
#

the current talent system is fine, we should just have more

amber beacon
#

Me and my friends do?

deep pawn
#

Old talent tree was shit. I say that as someone who levelled to 60 just last month

amber beacon
#

so argument invalid

zealous basalt
#

You see, back in where I started. MoP. that expac had a very cute thing when you leveled because it felt that the attacks they gave every x levels was really worthy, it felt like a progression because you know, when you first play the game what you should do is leveling normally, and even if the talents at every 15 levels isn't that good for someone, for me its good. Buuuut, some talents are really boring, that's the problem with the talents atm

novel zodiac
#

friends?, what is that

zealous basalt
#

Some talents should be in another rows, and some talents should be baseline

amber beacon
#

this really great feature called guilds ๐Ÿ˜„

white quartz
#

Lots of people disagree about the talent system. There are a decent number of people who would come back if the tree gets changed at leads somewhat

signal bone
#

but that's not a problem with levels

zealous basalt
#

But the problem with the leveling now is the pacing at the first levels, the game literally tells you "boost"

amber beacon
#

I'd like a talent system that's like the artifact constellations tbh

zealous basalt
#

And then at level 80

#

You stop getting any powers whatsoever

white quartz
#

That part sucks

#

A lot

zealous basalt
#

Until 90 and then 100

#

THEN

#

After 100 you don't get shit until 110 with BfA

amber beacon
#

the legion system btw not the bullshit that is bfa

zealous basalt
#

and even so it doesn't feel rewarding at all

signal bone
#

I could see them doing a level squish / world revamp that issues in a new currency like AP you can use on a leveling character for a tree that gives you little utility

white quartz
#

Brb

zealous basalt
#

The thing with a level squish is

amber beacon
#

World revamp isn't going to happen

zealous basalt
#

that you won't feel that...dead after a certain number of levels

signal bone
#

probably not, but if it did

amber beacon
#

At most you're going to get new changes to the world once you reach that part in the story

zealous basalt
#

Because I tell you this now, after BfA azerite armor will be useless

signal bone
#

right, it's mental

amber beacon
#

it's using the layering technology to do it.

zealous basalt
#

They will just going to be stat sticks

#

AND THAT IS GOING TO BE WORSE

signal bone
#

again, I have no problem with a squish. I just don't see why people want it to be a selling point of an expac

#

it could come in a .5 patch

amber beacon
#

I want tier sets back.

#

Maybe not the bonuses

#

but at least the fucking class specific designs

zealous basalt
#

The word you ask is

#

Class armor

#

And yeah, I agree, I didn't get any raid gear because they are ugly for my monk

amber beacon
#

I've yet to see a tier in bfa that looked good.

signal bone
#

people want things like a squish over other things that would be more impactful, like housing or something

zealous basalt
#

But there is something i admit

signal bone
#

BoD gear was alright

amber beacon
#

player housing would kill the game.

#

Look at garrisons

signal bone
#

garrisons weren't player housing

zealous basalt
#

They were

signal bone
#

no they weren't

novel zodiac
#

the only good set in BoD was plate

zealous basalt
#

It was literally a house

signal bone
#

it was a fort

#

but that's semantics

novel zodiac
#

i can't use bones if im a frost mage

#

that's stupid

zealous basalt
#

Your own personal thing where you could set up your own stuff there

signal bone
#

anybody who says garrisons = housing is being dishonest

amber beacon
#

If we were going to have player housing I'd say guild housing.

zealous basalt
#

What would be the difference

#

Like go ahead

signal bone
#

they know what people mean when they say player housing, and it's not garrisons

zealous basalt
#

Tell me what a house for you is

novel zodiac
#

Housing its a bad idea, guild halls are way better

zealous basalt
#

Ye

signal bone
#

something you can customize, build from scratch, has personality and is an extension of your creativity

amber beacon
#

Yeah guild halls would be nice even on RP realms.

signal bone
#

guild halls would be fine too

novel zodiac
#

like garrison?

zealous basalt
#

You can customize the garrison

#

You built it from level 1

signal bone
#

again, you are being dishonest

zealous basalt
#

It had the personality of you being a commander

signal bone
#

nobody thinks that garrisons allowed for creativity or player expression

zealous basalt
#

And no garrison was the same

signal bone
#

no they weren't

amber beacon
#

I dunno I know many who turned their garrison into erp forts ๐Ÿ˜‚

zealous basalt
#

Ye...

#

For some they are their houses

#

RP houses

signal bone
#

well it's a poor implementation then

zealous basalt
#

Which is the only reason of why house exists

signal bone
#

and shouldn't be what we want

#

I'm talking like subnautica base building

zealous basalt
#

Thing is you don't talk for everyone

signal bone
#

or wildstar

zealous basalt
#

No one speaks for everyone

signal bone
#

many people want housing

zealous basalt
#

No

lean yew
#

i cannot keep track of all these leaks

signal bone
#

ok fine

#

that's not an argument against it

amber beacon
#

Most people after garrisons went no to player housing yes to guild halls.

novel zodiac
#

if housing is so good why wildstar failed that hard? :v

zealous basalt
#

Many people want a place where they can afk in peace

signal bone
#

or something like warframe, like your ship

zealous basalt
#

...And kill open world?

novel zodiac
#

you can build your ship from scratch in warframe?

signal bone
#

it would be cool if wow had something like that

amber beacon
#

I want Suramar to have a mob free zone so we can actually use the city. But that'll never happen

signal bone
#

no, but you can personalize it

zealous basalt
#

SIKE

#

you can

novel zodiac
#

like garrisons?

zealous basalt
#

If you are a elf

signal bone
#

you can't personlize garrisons...

zealous basalt
#

You could

signal bone
#

no you couldn't

novel zodiac
#

yeah, you do it accord to your needs

amber beacon
#

Yeah the nighthold courtyard. But like the actual suramar city post legion would be nice ;-;

novel zodiac
#

you're an alchemist?

signal bone
#

there were like max 13 buildings

novel zodiac
#

build an alchemy lab

signal bone
#

all static in color, function and architecture

#

and where you put them

zealous basalt
#

I liked the color thematic

signal bone
#

and even if garrisons ARE player housing (which I disagree with), then housing should still be in the game and garrisons can be a lesson as to not how do to PH

#

ok but you can't change it

zealous basalt
#

...

#

Housing is still there

#

There is nothing that forbids you to go back to WoD

signal bone
#

at the end of the day, wow needs more activities that don't involve combat

#

that allow for player creativity and expression

zealous basalt
#

Fishing?

signal bone
#

housing can be that

#

...

#

I can't tell if you're trolling

zealous basalt
#

I am not

#

There are

#

Many things you can do that isn't fight

#

there is this command

#

called /e

signal bone
#

the game needs more things that feel like a lived in world

zealous basalt
#

That's...literally how you burst your imaginatnion

signal bone
#

housing satisfies a large gap that could fill

#

and it can be super cool if done right

zealous basalt
#

No...it wont fill it

#

Housing

signal bone
#

there is a large section of people who only play games like NMS and Subnautica for base building

zealous basalt
#

Yes

#

because those games were built for it

signal bone
#

if WoW had something even remotely similar

#

why do you lack vision

zealous basalt
#

I do not lack vision

#

I am just realistic

signal bone
#

garrisons were shit housing, yet you think they are the end all be all

zealous basalt
#

dude

#

Stop for one second

#

And think

signal bone
#

if blizz made an entire expansion where the only new feature was hosuing, it would be grea

zealous basalt
#

Those games, those games with housing

#

Were made for it

signal bone
#

everything else is on rails at this point

novel zodiac
#

wow

#

new leak guys

signal bone
#

dungeons, raids, new zones, wq, etc.

novel zodiac
#

9.0 build your own house the expansion

zealous basalt
#

You can't ask something that old

#

to do stuff like that

amber beacon
#

All WoW needs is a guild hall which is an instanced building in the captial city. that's it.

signal bone
#

sure you can

zealous basalt
#

Garrison was their best shot as housing

signal bone
#

wow is a much different game than it was at its inception

tranquil steeple
#

World of Warcraft: Sims

novel zodiac
#

why would you want quests and raids when you can build your house and stay there

signal bone
#

they could easily do decent housing systems

#

sounds fun to me!

zealous basalt
#

Do you want

novel zodiac
#

go play sims then

zealous basalt
#

To forfeit

#

A whole expac just for housing?

tropic trail
#

@signal bone go play eq2.

zealous basalt
#

WoW is not made for housing

tropic trail
#

Pretty solid player housing there.

zealous basalt
#

Not at that extreme

signal bone
#

ok well, enjoy your new AP grind every expansion and only doing raids / dungeons until the end of time

zealous basalt
#

and even if guild housing were a thing

#

It wouldn't be that open

novel zodiac
#

so if i think housing is stupid i automatically love ap grinds?

signal bone
#

I know it wouldn't be build anywhere

novel zodiac
#

what a remtard

signal bone
#

but they could create tech on a new continent

zealous basalt
#

@signal bone if you can't do something else than that

tranquil steeple
#

if we're going to get housing, it's going to be an ADDITION to the game

signal bone
#

or add it to old zones

tranquil steeple
#

not the whole point

zealous basalt
#

DUDE

tranquil steeple
#

not when it comes to WoW

zealous basalt
#

THEY CAN'T ADD TECH

#

UNDERSTAND IT

#

WoW is made

#

on a 20 year old engine

signal bone
#

but they did remember

#

garrisons

zealous basalt
#

Even if they can make it look better

signal bone
#

apparently

zealous basalt
#

BECAUSE THAT'S AS FAR THEY COULD PUSH IT
