It's his, quote, last breath
Read the first paragraph under history
the sha are factually pieces of yshaarj
they arent its blood
they are literally pieces of the old god that remained after it was torn out
the 7 headed god has 7 major sha for a reason
sundering was caused by the well being closed
not the invasion
also the sha are nothing like saronite
yshaarj was murdered
Which created the well
yogg was creating saronite because a tree stabbed him with its roots
it created the hole
which amanthul sealed using the well
Yeah
related to earlier discussion of pre-titan races, its complicated
considering all things, probably centaurs, tauren, and trolls
and uh
furbolgs?
oh and murlocs
Tauren are based of the yaungol tho
"Hey day fishdear! How was your day at the offish?"
i thought it was the other way but that still works
when i said tauren i was including the 3 main groups
Yaungol are tauren that evolved into yaks basically
taunka tauren and yaungol
Opposite way
Lorewalker Cho says otherwise
Tauren are yaungol who got gifted my cenarius
No
Chronicle says other wise
Highmountain tauren are tauren who got gifted with the horns of Eche'ro
chronicles says it was the well
and that the well made a subtribe of yaungol into tauren
and that the yaungol were created or cared for by cenarius
so i guess maybe not pre-titans?
its hard to say
Yeah it’s been a while
Oh god
Well if yaungol are niuzo’s children
they look pretty bestial here
so its likely they go back further than the wild gods
and that they were refined by them
or by the titans
"Ooo, a cow. Lemme make it humanoid."
considering that
turned into this
the proportions in the first make it seem like they were a lot less civilized
which does make sense considering the yaungol's culture
i guess its hard to say whether theyre pretitan or not
but the rest I listed im pretty sure are
I think everything pre titans should be elementals
Then the old gods came and life was actually possible cause the elementals stopped fighting
Then the titans came
Well arnt centaurs one of cenarius’ kids mates with the earth elemental in Maraudon?
yes
Or something weird like that
So down to trolls based as pre titans
The amani pretty much ruled over the non elemental parts of the world
When you start to think about it, trolls spend the whole of Warcraft getting screwed
Oh yeah
Also zandalari were first troll tribe
Not amani?
Arnt furbolgs just ursoc’s kids
dont think so?
"Furbolgs have oral traditions that say they have ancient origins.[4] They descend from an ancient race of bear-men known as the jalgar. The jalgar warred with the Dragonflayer vrykul, but when the Dragonflayers gained the upper hand by learning to ride proto-dragons, the jalgar were pushed south into the central forests of Kalimdor.[5]
According to Brann Bronzebeard, the furbolgs are descended from the bear Ancient Ursoc.[6] Given the information above, Ursoc's direct descendants may actually be the jalgar race. "
wowpedia
so yes
post titans maybe
tho their pre-titan race
might be a thing?
Probably will never see an actual jalgar tho
"Brann Bronzebeard's research said that Ursoc created the furbolgs.[2] Chronicle Volume 1 explained that furbolg descend from the jalgar. Thus Ursoc may have either created the jalgar, or turned them into furbolg."
so its unclear
Unless the theory of the werebear is actually a jalgar
and definitely murlocs tho
Manafish
they may pre-date trolls apparently
which makes sense considering how strongly the well can effect them
"Let's dip in mana heehoo"
So what ur saying is Azeroth will look like a giant Murlocs
Or have atleast some fish like elements
azeroth is probably humanoid like all other titans
the only reason murlocs predate trolls is probably because the old gods are mainly land based beings
Still wondering what element will be given to her
so being underwater makes it easier to avoid them
dont know if we will ever know
she cant ever be awoken or killed
if either of those happen, the planet explodes
Argus was alright besides being fel corrupted after he woke up
I like that gravity works normally in WoW xD
no the actual planet
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Sigma: "NO ONE ESCAPES GRAVITY!!"
Azeroth: "If I die I'm taking you lil shits with me"
I mean the planet of Argus was fine when Argus woke up
True
It's also kinda liveable there?
Oxygen exists and you can get water supplies from Azeroth through a portal
Also, how did the demons survive if the planet cracked but if ours does, we all die?
im not saying we all die
the excuse to never touch the "azeroth awakening" stuff
and it cracking didnt kill everything
and the demons werent originally there
remember, a lot of eredar became corrupted
theoretically thats a way to do it
but i feel like that would defeat the lore theyve made
i think its more likely they just never do it
Until they run out of ideas
ie a WoW 2
they have 10+ expansions
we will not see a WoW 2 unless something revolutionary happens with technology
There is a lot to explore in the lore
VR without having to move!
Do you mean SAO
Just saying that if something like that ever happens, WoW 2 might as well
I wanted to make one at some point
About my RP adventures while questing
Also some PvP I did meanwhile
Azeroth - The Titan of Hope xD
Btw, when The Arbiter got mentioned on Blizzcon
They were saying "SHE is..."
Imagine a plot twist where we find out that the Arbiter was Sylvanas/Azeroth
And all the story of BfA was meant to lead us to Jailer and kill him
"This world is a prison" - We need to stay on Azeroth to defend the Titan Soul all the time
Sylvanas is not the Arbiter, 100% 
Think it could be Elune or someone new, like Jailor
I don't think it's Elune
Since her story happens in Ardenweald
She's related to Night Elves and i doubt she's anything more
I think we should have someone "Old" there instead of all the characters being new
Important characters*
Someone new would be more interesting
Blizz needs to add new compelling characters to replace old ones getting killed off
"Like, oh muh gawd. How dare you, like, question where I like, send my souls; ya know? Like that is SO rude!" - The Arbiter
Like that kind of annoying?
Hey entitled is a type of super. Never heard of the superhero.. uhh.. Entitled... Man?
The Arbiter is the Jailor's ex wife and they broke up after the Jailor's lust for souls confirmed
He got greedy
Am In fraternity.... Hear "almighty Archon" every Sunday.... Looks at the leader of the Kyrin.....
Since her story happens in Ardenweald
She's related to Night Elves and i doubt she's anything more```
Oh, my sweet summer child 😂
She's also related to the titans, and seems to predate them though :p
Tears or Elune, supposedly created the Naaru, Elunaria, Elarian Sanctuary, Eonar... Turning souls into constellation... She's higher than the titans , and since she can manipulates the souls of living people without passing by the shadowlands, she's even higher than the shadowlands itself.
Mind my words : she is a primal godess of Balance, maybe the one who forged the universe, if chronicles mentionned her brievly and did not answer to what she was, and is written apparently from the titans perspective, even the titans do not know what she is, and her origin predates them, like the shadowlands predates them ^^
But, alas, we can never be sure of anything, since the retcon are many, and can happend in the most weird places
The titans are dead from their own perspective
That's interesting
And Sylvanas is lying to herself in 3rd person too
They opened a whole can of worms xD
i mean sylvanas has techicly replaced the lich king in terms of wanting everything dead
No in before the storm she in the third person says she doesn't want to be warchief doesn't know what made Voljin choose her
I have no idea where the heck Blizz is going with Sylvanas and so I’ve resigned myself to just watching and hoping for the best
It’s very hard to parse through everything to get all the context at this point
And then Teldrassil has to be a thing
I have expected the worst for all of bfa and they still found a way to make it worse than I expected
The writing on Sylvanas is just all over the damn place like writing team can’t agree if they want her to be evil or not
It’s not that bad
They definitely want her to be evil-ish
She is doing bad things
We don’t know fully why yet
Illidan was sorta similar in BC
Did a lot of bad things and we didn’t really find out why until Legion
At least we don’t have to wait 10 years like with Illidan
@normal niche did you mix up the channels?
I don't think this is supposed to go on Retail-Wow
I am not talking about Sylvanas in general right now all of the story is bad at the moment
Freed Old gods are done
Faction war didn't even end
Forsaken, nelfs and zandalari got shit on
Now we also have lich King just die
It's not like we are going to need it
I think this is just making new stuff so we start getting rid of old limitations in story
Yes but whit how they built nzoth being free as a big deal then yeet him the next patch doesn't give me hope for the future
That's what we know
For all purposes they might be planning something else with Nzoth
He isn't dead yet
Just like how Sargeras and Illidan are in a standby mode
We wont lose, we always "yeet" something or someone, if they could ever make losing interesting please bring it on
I’m still not over the joke someone made in Youtube comments that Sylvanas didn’t put on the helm because she’s a hunter and can’t wear plate
So she disenchanted it instead
Mor'gul Murlocs? Lord of the Rings?
https://www.wowhead.com/news=296191/warcraft-iii-reforged-models-morgul-murlocs?webhook for reference
Honestly the best part about bfa was the start when Slyvanas burned down the tree and everyone was trying to figure out who did it but it was her the whole time and it threw the factions against each other. Then it died out and the faction war ended because people didn’t care anymore that’s just me
Faction war got old hella fast. I remember hunting horde down and murdering them to just running up to them and waving and running to finish my quest lol
It got old fast because absolutely nothing was new or interesting about it
they just did MoP's story again with different characters
sometimes not even with different characters
The best part of BfA was how many memes we got
bfa had some good systems
the implementation sucked
for example
islands were cool
but having to do them before the other group beat you sucked
they couldve been focused on exploration
the bad system were Warmode rewards
alliance got rewarded for being crybabies
Warmode should have no % buffs at all
you want WPVP? - ok
you don't want? - ok
I liked the idea of Warfronts, but they were just missing one important thing
Actual challenge
it felt more like an instanced quest
I think Warfronts could have been a cooler feature then they were
I even think it would have been more fun as a PvP mode then islands, just saying
i wouldn't mind even Mythic Warfronts
that would actually require more thinking, than just gathering a full raid of 440s to nuke it like Normal Warfronts some time ago
Kinda like an Base-Building MOBA with 20 players per side and more special effects sounds cool.
and still
we didn't get the T3 Aspirant recolors
the only T3 that's missing
tbh i expected this recolor
to drop from HC warfronts
but for whatever reason it isn't
Islands should of been like the shadowlands tower tbh, besides being endless just always different lol
they kinda are different each time, depending on the invasion you get
but the issue is that it doesn't really change anything
I guess maybe because I’ve grinded from 65-70 in islands it just looks the same lol
We just need dadgar and everything will be better
Like if we don’t see him in shadowlands I’m just gonna assume his ass just decided to quit.
Champion! Bring me 221874801274021087 more Anima Power Shards to complete the another quest!
So long as we can avoid Dalaran, I'm fine with bringing Khadgar along
Imagine the new city being Kyrian-themed
but with whole layout of buildings
being based on Dalaran
Which is also fine with me, so long as it's not Dalaran... and only based on it.
If we're gonna have Dalaran, we better also have Rhonin doing the Ulduar event, going "CITIZENS OF DALARAN"

it wont be kyrian themed
its going to be uniquely neutral
thats what makes oribos so interesting
its the meeting place for all of the zones where the inhabitants can visit each other and such
its not kyrian or any of the other cultures, its unique
maybe it'll be themed after the preorder armor set we got?
Whats Dat for
probably like EP forge
to craft better gear from professions
requires you to kill X bosses to get Y items, to upgrade the forge so you can make HC and then Mythic items
ptr is apparently shutting down @ionic terrace
ok
during mogu invasion, mantid are prepping
so far they are the only ones who are using azerite in the vale
Is there any explanation as to why the mantid are kinda making moves now? Or are they still counting this as their once-per-hundred-years warpath that started in mop
they have a new empress
she wants azerite
and they are working with nzoth
and he wants the vale
right. k
The same thing happened when Garrosh used the heart of Y'shaarj. They always do something when an old god awakes (or their artifacts).
They kinda ignored the logistics of the 100 year cycle
They spent their numbers massively only three years ago
Old god empowerment only does so much
they will break them out, outside of the 100 year cycle
if they are needed
an old god being freed is definitely one of those reasons
also, a new empress probably means new brood
especially if you introduce azerite
A remember when I was saying the same thing on this channel few month ago someone trashed me for criticizing blizzard writing xD
Ppl hated Dalaran for being laggy
But we don't know how laggy will the new city be
Does anyone expect them to do some better optimalization?
Well, there's another way of looking at it.
Shek'zeer attacked too early out of fear, not respecting the cycle.
It was the Klaxxi's job to put her down for that and instate a new queen.
What we learn from that is that the Klaxxi are effectively the ones in charge of putting down aberrant Queens
The Klaxxi are probably too weak to do that after we killed all the Paragons they'd been storing.
So there's basically just no bug police right now and the new Empress can do whatever she wants.
Since the Mantids serve N'zoth now, do Qiraji and Silithids do the same?
It's possible that, without their original Old God masters being active (or "alive), they probably follow the next strongest void being on Azeroth, in this case N'zoth.
Guys
Just realized
With N'Zoth dead
Sargeras' mission will be complete
Since his mission was to stop Azeroth from being corrupted by the old gods and becoming a Corrupted Titan
So
In conclusion
Sargeras = good in 8.3/9.0?
No it won’t. She is still open to corruption in the future
The reason sargeras was killing planets was to avoid them ever being corrupted
He wanted to wipe the universe clean
So that the void lords can’t do anything
Didnt he only destroy planets with old gods on them?
No
Aw
Titan planets too
Man
He was destroying all planets with titans
Or pretty much Titan planets exclusively, while also dealing with Old Gods (or their minions) if he got the chance
The mortal races didnt exist when he was good (I think) bit still
I kind of have a feeling that they're gonna forget about Illidan and Sarg for 4ish years and then he'll be main focus in 2 or 3 expacs.
the void lords can still send us other old gods. And I suspect that's what will happen. Massive old gods swarm coming at us.
Wtb something to decrease all corruption by half
It’s called corruption resistance
I mean yes
dat what i mean
But like earn something after doing raids that halves all incoming corruption and its appart from your general resistance
I'm half expecting an old god that literally looks like that awful bone octopus to appear in Shadowlands
and these as trash mobs
menacing crackly bone tentacles
Wonder what the chances are of us ever getting Heirloom Boots/Gloves.. Hm
We will definetly see Sargeras again, he's the next "Break in case of emergency" character
I hope we do because WoW is weird without demons to beat up
you totally can't tell I'm a DH main
Now you know how us ez-Scourge bois feel
pffff, at least you still get zombies here and there >;P
Blizzard just needs to let Demon Hunters become even more Demon. Let us have Hooves and tails. 😆
am i the only one who would rather get a mount that just enables Meta on DH and makes us fly using our own wings, instead of that Felbat as a class mount?
Nope definitely not the only one. I was REALLY hoping DH Class Mount was them allowing us to use our Wings.
Sadly.. never happened.
I guess everyone has forgotten that Xal'atath is still alive.
she and azshara are gonna come back for the light vs void xpac in 10.0
is the KamehameHEARTOFAZEROTH scene really gone from PTR?
idk,seems so,really wouldnt be the first time they trolled us with datamined stuff
we've seen it more than 5 times just in bfa alone
yeah, they hid all other important scenes for long
like, they laughed at people datamining
telling them that no matter how much they'll try, they won't find the most important things (like they did with 8.2.5 cinematics)
and i guess N'zoth death IS important
well,blizzard is a multibillionaire company,if they REALLY want to hide something
it's not like we have worldclass hackers working on datamining
yeah,im sure they have a dev-test server
thats only internal
like 99% of companies,including warframe :p
and they might even be keeping major stuff we dont even know about hidden
yeah, i think the same
especially about raids
they allow people just to test a part of a raid
but other stuff, like end phase of a certain boss is allowed just for the special testing team
to bring up a more recent example,in the bfa alpha/beta when they did the first raid test for uldir
was one of the very few ive participated in
and at some point a GameMaster appeared
by the name of Hiddenscott(i have the picture saved but not on here)
and he was playing a vulpera,with tooltip proving that too,and as soon as wowhead made a post of "vulpera in the files categorized as playable" literally a day after it was taken out in an hotfix
and they were put back in the "creatures" section
so they could be hiding all sorts of stuff
took this long to get vulpera because GM was a asshole? Kappa
I just realised - if we go to Shadowlands in next expansion, does it mean that we actually somehow heal Azeroth enough, to leave it without any bigger issues?
yeah, idk what kind of power we would need to remove it
or if even removing it is a good idea at all
i don't think that removing the sword is a good idea
most likely worst idea, or among one of the worst at least
in the end it doesn't matter if we fully heal azeroth, when we get back from Shadowlands all the world is gonna get fucked up again for plot
i just imagined "healing" Azeroth like the Pandaren starting scenario
that.. would just create holes from the explosions
and probably won't even have an effect on the sword itself
i guess that to remove the sword, we'd need Sargeras to do it
if we're ever going to remove it
or the other titans from the Pantheon
i guess it'd require them to use some of their power
@cyan prairie As of 8.3, Azeroth is back to normal and perfectly fine according to Magni and MOTHER.
i do not think thats correct
if that were the case, why do the mantid have so much azerite?
They've gathered it before we fixed Azeroth.
so essentially the work we did over the expac worked?
Well, as far back to normal as possible with the sword still there
Yup. And we removed all corruption.
Azeroth is cauterized
As for the sword, it's probably mostly harmless now, she's stopped bleeding it seems, and we've removed its magic.
So it's more like healing over a splinter or something.
the sword is there because you don't want to remove a blade from a wound without proper measures to stop the bleeding
I feel like it'd be more trouble than it's worth though
Just wanted that cleared up 'cause
I imagine the sword is now no different than, say, humans digging super deep or building a big construct underground.
for a moment it almost seemed like you implied that the Sword was gone in 8.3, which would be... suffice to say, weird.
probably would cause even more damage coming out than going in
and yeah
a regular old sword is just another scrape for a planet
it'll just be buried away eventually
hell, the titans built gigantic facilities even deeper than anything we can imagine
no point risking hurting Azeroth when she's fine now
as we say in medicine
don't fix what isn't broken
so yeah, just some harmless construct which she healed over anyway
I wonder what would happen the day Azeroth is ready to "hatch"?
How are Titans even born from planets anyway?
they destroy the planet
argus is the closest we have gotten to seeing what happens
I haven't done Antorus
KABOOM
he didn't explode wtf?
Pretty much, yeah. Except for us players we can still go to the Argus zones 'cause game content
Argus didn't explode out the planet, in fact he was still inside the planet. The planet was shattered by fel and the Legion. Argus was still inside.
question is whether that's typical or the result of him being so horrifically corrupted he doesn't care
ah
that makes sense because I feel like a Titan would exit more cautiously
they could probably phase out or something (can Titans phase or teleport?)
Wait dumb question
Odyn literally teleported and he's a Titan Watcher (of sorts)
We really don't know. I doubt it'd be a catastrophic event to be honest, but it's possible.
Maybe they crack the planet open like an egg.
Maybe the planet "morphs" into a humanoid body.
Maybe they just get out of the planet ethereally.
etc.
maybe depends on whether life still exists
yeah titans seem to have an ethereal "cloud" form, I imagine that's what happens when they mature, they "manifest" outside the planet
Azeroth still has forever to go before she's done maturing anyways
I guess it could vary depending on a serious fuckton of circumstances
though it would be neat if we can see how she'd look
For example, planet size might play a part in how broken the planet itself might be when the Titan is born from it
Argus' state is most likely due to 25 000 years of fel shenanigans and Sargeras bathing the entire planet in fel when he showed up. In fact the fel saturation is so high that Argus became part of the Twisting Nether, literally pierced the veil between Great Dark and Nether.
Also probably due to Sargeras and the demons torturing and corrupting the world-soul for 25 000 years.
Just like how Azeroth being hurt led to physical consequences for the planet.
btw, back to some 8.3 stuff - do we know what role will Velonara play?
she got some new dialogue
and seems like she isn't happy with what Sylvanas did
Could be something that carries on to the Scarlet Monastery stuff we saw
that's it as far as we know, just some dialogue about her and most dark rangers no longer following sylvanas
Unless we already did whatever about that already
I didn't pay much attention to it
wasn't the scarlet monastery stuff found before even 8.1 started?
like, we knew that something will happen there
You know, if you really think about it, World Souls are pretty much Titan children.
And Argus was so vicious because was tortured and abused for years and years.
but it never actually happened
I think it was during 8.2, or 8.1.5 datamining?
it's really depressing when you look at Argus that way
because he's pretty much a child abuse victim
a very powerful child that got abused
iirc Calia just wants to help the Forsaken out after Sylvanas GTFO'd, but not lead
I really hope Calia doesn't take over
If you look at his model closely, you'll notice he is bound, and has spikes running through his limbs.
https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/638284.jpg
https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/wowpedia/6/6f/Argus_the_Unmaker_concept.jpg?version=cd466788ad855ba5b17231dba0e93edd
didn't we talk about his design some time ago?
His "armor" is more like a small torturing device.
and I doubt he'd want to leave his family anyway
but I hope Blizz develops Derek more regardless
i don't think there's much they can do for him
it's interesting to see what happens if an Undead is given support from@the start
And the cracks on his armor? That's his blood. https://i.imgur.com/UZ4j5TX.png
Zelling was rejected by his family and that was depressing af
I wish they didn't kill him off
but he was happy with being able to protect his family anyway
so guess Derek is the new example 🙃
yeah
I wish we could go and check on them with Lilian
Even his helm is "fastened" to his body using spikes that wound him. https://i.imgur.com/TnlTzN7.png
so they can buy a house and live there safely
nah, I just want to see the whole post-death thing
Lilian said she's going to make sure they know he died(again) a hero
we might get some "ending" in 8.3.5
here's hoping
to close some story parts
hmm, I wonder if we can find Zelling in Shadowlands?
he was the only thing I liked about the War Campaign
yeah... in the Maw
i wonder where would Garrosh go if he died
I'm just gonna sling him and run
maybe Revendreth?
he's probably deep in the Maw, but Revendreth would be nice
i don't think he'd go to the Maw
I want to see Garrosh developed the other way
he was kinda like Kael'thas with what he did
I think it's more Arthas really with his storyarc
i'd put Arthas in the maw
yeesh, Blizz retold Arthas' story twice now
and the other two times were both Horde 😒
Stop rehashing Arthas already
let him REST
Garithos is likely in Revendreth
yeah
Kael’thas is hunting down something from his past that we help him with
That something is probably garithos
Garithos isn't a totally evil scumbag, even jf he did do bad things
his xenophobia was motivated by revenge
he blamed the elves for not helping his people when they needed them
what aboud Aedalas? this guy doesn't deserve even to go to Revendreth
one answer - he's a racist
"Kael’thas, who pursues vengeance on an enemy from his past while confined to Revendreth for the crimes he committed in life."
He probably hates dwarves for the same reason as elves, dwarves were forced to hole up in ironforge and not help much in the second war, Wildhammer aside
yeah, probably
it's stupid really, but when were humans ever logical?
bigotry happens and it's stupid
I do hope the enemy he’s hunting is garithos
if Garithos' arc is gonna involve him realizing the error of his ways, that'd be nice.
otherwise, he can eat my ass
Because he has literally never been mentioned in WoW, ever
So it would be nice for that campaign to be acknowledged
imagine fighting Daelin as a trash mob in Torghast
I feel like a lot of people who think belves should have been Alliance don't know about Garithos
Daelin seems like he'd be in Revendreth
The excuse they made in TBC for belfs not joining the alliance was terrible, having garithos remnants fighting against them, maybe with some alliance support, would have made more sense than nelfs
since he did the bad things out of an old grudge
it's not like alliance sent spies to Silvermoon immediately after TBC started...
Kael got burned a lot by Alliance anyway in WC3
why the heck would he agree at all to working with the same people who made it clear his people aren't welcome?
I like the background for blood elves, tbh
it's not that people don't understand why a certain race joins a certain faction
they just don't WANT to understand it
tru
iirc, high elves weren't too fond of blood elves because of the choices they made
tbh i wonder if Kael'thas got changed into one of the Venthyr after going to Revendreth
blood elves just did whatever they had to to survive, for better or worse
I kinda liked that theme tbh; the moral grayness that was in BC according to what I've heard of their original content
Kael had to do questionable things to keep his people alive
but kept them going he did
Life's about the hard choices, really
the moral crossroads
no right answer when it comes to survival
but anyways
I just want Blizz to stop beating the double/triple/quadruple dead Arthas Arc Horse already
come up with something new already
i hope we won't see Arthas in SL
or at least, not too much of him
btw did i see it correctly - they Blacksmith that made Helm of Domination and the Frostmoune is the same guy that will make Legendaries for us?
We don’t know if it will be the same person, I don’t think, but it will be the same forge
it would be interesting if it was him
@tall thunder so you asked if we'll see Bwonsamdi? We will in a dungeon somewhere in HIS part of the SLs
that's all we know
if this was already answered and I pinned you twice for no reason, I am very sorry
Nice
dungeon's called De Other Side iirc
that is correct
Cause I got friends on De Other Side!!!
It's actually called The Other Side.
That's probably my most pedantic comment but I thought it'd be funny..!
lmao
And the dungeon entrance is somewhere in Ardenweald
hell yeah for Fallacier joke
Bwomsamdi is legit what would happen if you threw Hades, Ryuk, and a dash of Fallacier in a blender
@dense plover mantid thing is up in vale
ill have to try tonight
i dont have time for a bit
how long is it up for?
3 days?
The Klaxxi are corrupted by N'zoth, ofc
Somehow one of the dead Council Members is alive again
Two
Though a few interviews a few months back said only a few of these sidequests from islands would get development in the immediate future
Not all
Ok three
Four...
Well we do know the new empress is a world boss
No idea where though
We already know the Mantid quest has a follow up. The queen is a world boss in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in 8.3:
With the awakening of N'Zoth, Shek'zara, empress of the mantid, pledged her swarm to the old god's will. In service of her dark master, she unleashed her forces upon the Vale of Eternal Blossoms to claim Pandaria in N'Zoth's name.
I want to say Vale...
dead council?
and the mantid arent corrupted, they willingly follow the old gods and embrace their return
the exception was the sha because they didn't know it was an old god corruption after yshaarj died
im fairly certain they knew
there are quests where you hear the mantid talk about trying to bring yshaarj back
they knew he was dead but should the old ones return they would join them
but they weren't cool with the corruption and it's effects on the empress' premature swarm and the eggs hatching more mantids were being potentially ruined by it
even though no, it was going awesome until they said the outsiders should help kill more mantid, stronger and better mantid. stupid bug guys lol
I mean, I LOVED the klaxxi reputation and the race themselves but it seemed so weird they were uncool with corruption
either way they seemed to just not like it in general rather than embrace it
but now they are just regular mantids just swarming because N'zoth returned, and they love eyeball teeth tentacles
The big klaxxi in the middle of Klaxxi'vess
@fathom vapor
Klaxxi'va Kek, Kor, ect
Either it's a retcon or they came back from the dead
or Blizz didn't realize they died 😛
wait, they came back? where do you see that?
Quest chain during Mantid invasion in Vale
I'm not sure if they are there without the quest
Nope
which klaxxi? one of the main council guys who just hangs in the middle and did like, nothing? lol
cause all the paragons died in siege, but they foreshadowed that they, probably meaning the mantid, would return
Looking forward to next build with ARs DKs playable and that new eye glow. Hopefully we can expect one tomorrow night (Eu)
(I mean I hope they're playable next build with new stuff added)
Yeah pretty much
Pretty much what
pretty much the big council dudes that do nothng
They are like all alliance leaders that aren't Anduin. They exist and... Yeah i think that's all they do.
Any ideas what will happen with the Nagas after N'zoth's death? Will they keep fighting us, or will they be friendly now etc?
Well in the Vulpera unlock scenario we learn that the Naga are advancing in Zuldazar
But that’s before the death of N’zoth I think
Yup
I mean Azshara escapes... so she will probably lead them, unless she shows up at the end of the raid to sacrifice herself or something
Which I hope doesn’t happen
Well we save her life in the raid so i guess she should be friendly towards us
Well I hope she’s a neutral evil, like Bolvar was in legion, doing some shady stuff but friendly towards the player, I wouldn’t want her to be like best friends with the horde or alliance, but I do love her and I hope she’s not a villain again
Well we know some naga have betrayed her or something for N’zoth.
I was expecting a Nzoth fight to go like the ending of Kid Icarus uprising
Since we've only ever cheaped out an Old God, I expected something like 'we lose, ggs' and then azshara suicide charges him or something giving us an opening
Which would've been cool but hey ho
Who you calling ho
I'm guessing with the way things have been going we'll probably be getting another update today?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think having a power cap is good
i dislike the removal of the trait
but im glad they are moving it to the cloak
having the cloak continue to gain resistance makes more sense
so that if you want to come back and do the content, you dont need to switch 2 items, only 1
There's a Grimtotem wearing the Tauren Heritage armor 🤔
Was added in 8.3
I wonder if it's supposed to be a hint to the 9.0 customizations
i mean, the skin and tattoos are practically a guarantee
grimtotem make as much sense as sandfury
Mm
Servers still up 😦
yea looking like no build today
😦
and as soon as I say that, they push a retail build
they’re making Grimtotem and Sandfury skins a thing?
Yeah. More customization options
Taunka would be unique but the face would have to change which won’t happen
Well it’s possible
Maybe a fur pattern
Humans are getting new faces
Oh yeah thats true
Taunka are possible because the only difference is fur colors and face
Yaungol are not because they are physically different
Yeah no
Heck if HM tauren didnt already exist they couldve just added them into tauren
We will almost definitely see new Tauren horn patterns
This is essentially the, making a ton of new ARs without having to create new racials or do the rest of the associated work
Yeah
Yeah mainly the first 6
Zandalari and kul tirans and mechagnomes and vulpera all made sense
Maghar and dark iron were separated because having different racials made sense
Nightborne and void elves were separated because of the model
And high mountain and lightforged were also separated because of racials
Apparently there is more raid tests Friday
So we will probably get a new build before then
No
you mean, the nightelf-reskinned-models ?
or the race we fought during legion with original models ?

yikes
To think that Tauren Females will recieve new hairstyle options since 2004... I don't count 6.0 new model & textures
:O
This seems to show that bare minimum, the zones are farther along than in legion or bfa
So release may not be as far away as people think
August 14th, my expectation
Personally, I want it to be late September/October. I don't want them to rush it like BfA. And it would fit the spooky time of the year :S
Good point
Azerite armor was a last minute thing and no class changes was lazy. All I have to say
yes it felt rushed, as far as i remember, beta started in may
Though I'm happy with my WW mastery not changing
I hope my sweet mastery stacking won't change
They don't call me Grandmaster for no reason in Legion
good thing i don't play tank
"Along the way in this area, we spot someone who looks decidedly out of place, a sort of Ethereal-looking merchant that’s part of an organization known as the Brokers." from the part about revendreth cathedral dungeon
interesting
I hope Ragnaros makes a return in Shadowlands
how?
Memes
i don't know why they will put Draka as a major character
when there's so much better ones
Inb4 blizz finds a way to have us fight Gul'dan one more time in SL
I think Gul'dan went to the Maw though
a raid full of final bosses of previous raids
Where there is a will, there's a way. Blizz will retcon anything.
i fucking hope so
Not the Draenor one
But that's Thrall's mommy
Is AU Draenor tied to SL too? We'll have two of everyone to deal with.
they can't put only male major characters
I think it might not be
cause millenials fucking suck
if its an alternate reality, they should have its own SW
unless it works like the legion
1 legion for all realitys
or whatever
"You're... me? Why do you look so old?"
"I lived my life and died to a draenei on an elephant."
"What in blood and thunder?"
Isn't SL supposed to be for all world's?
I hope we get a bronze dragonflight expansion where we travel to different points in time for quest areas before Vanilla happened
Imagine fighting Blackhand along Lothar
imagine fighting Lothar along Blackhand*
i think that wouldn't work because of factions
....hordies will be hordies
in the end we already know who wins
they can't do another alternate reality expansion
people would rage so damn hard
By going back we're not really moving the story forward. Unless you're doing it to create wow2. Jack up the history so everyone has to start fresh.
just make more caverns of time dungeon then
its not enough to make a whole expansion
why they cant just make an expansion where we just failed?
You seriously doubt Blizz
they already made expansions where they failed
it could be a good change if WE failed
That'd be a really good idea
Imagine if we fought one time against Sylvie before Shadowlands and that's why we're there
I think Tiffin would have been a much better character than Draka
Who?
The whole point of this expansion is Sylvannas proving Jaina is a Shadow Lord(same thing as a dread Lord?). That and so Jaina can hook up with Arthas again.
Anyone knows Nub Nub in Freehold?
i hope jaina dies in this expansion
Oof
tiffin is Anduin's mother
Death is kind of a meaningless word in the Shadowlands, though.
yeah, just like they killed Vol'jin
Outside of Warcraft 3, pretty much nobody knew Vol'jin
Graymane and Nathan is don't die. They get shipped.
^
I ship the Skyfire with Stormwind
I mean, what if we considered what would make good story
Instead of having character equality.
I ship that other tree with Malfurion
The characters are part of the story and nothing more, though, so why do you care? 😜
i ship Teldrassil with fire
I ship Thrall with the boat used to get from Tradewinds Market to Drustvar
I ship Jaina with water
the only good ships are the cannon ones
Like Thrall's son with Taelia?
BDSM tyrande and malf will swing with Graythos(Nathamane?)
But isn't Garry ded?
Sylvannas brings everyone together. She's a hero.
i though that thrall's sons were still children
DID HE GO TO THE MAW FOR RACISM?
I'm talking about Garry here
Maybe Grom is a Maldraxxus soulbind. Also, #beta-shadowlands
@dense plover @night swift late to the party but my thought process is Vulpera opened up snout modifications. I'm expecting them to apply these to all animal races
Part of me wonders if Pandaren will get straight up Bear skins with some odd lore tie to Furbolgs, but that's baseless headcannon. Just intrigues me
Well it’s not entirely out of the way
But to our knowledge there’s no evidence
But if it’s part of new faces, I could see it
Servers still up 
probably tomorrow or friday
i would expect nothingless then us comeing back at the end of shadowlands then to see the void in full focus at azeroth but that is just my oppinion
Especially if time works in the Shadowlands like that one NPC said it does
They'll also add new zones
But at the point we're going, I wouldn't be surprised to see a full swarm of Old Gods coming from space to crash on azeroth
Yay, infinite augment tune to replace my legion one
ye,they just posted it
from rajani exalted
Peach goes nyoooom on news
@dense plover servers down
by which i mean no servers 😄
which means new build time
those are headlights
N'zoth warned us "All eyes shall be opened"
padwarle, ping me when the build deploys
ok
Didn't it just deploy @ionic terrace
Ok. Thanks
ahahah
"we have the technology"
Well fucking rip
i dont think we will have ar dks this build
I wonder if Elf glow will make it in this build
Servers not up?
I hope we get new glow this build
And testable AR dks
That dk new glow looks amazing
Is it the real glow? I thought it was a trolololol
Increases the size of your backpack by 8 slots.
nani
Alpaca Saddlebags - Increases the size of your backpack by 8 slots.
Vulperas appear to get 8 extra slots in their backpack!
Huh
Well then
o_O
😮 vulpera dk it is then
"DEATHKNIGHT_DISABLED
Creating a Death Knight with the selected race requires that you purchase Shadowlands."
seems they fixed the reason we couldnt make them last time
maybe? build isnt out yet
servers aren't up and even if they were the build isn't pushed
Oh
Those eyes are spoky
im just saying that was one of the reasons they didnt work last time
Thought they were
Vulpera have an jncreased bag now??
MAYBE YOU BETTER START WORKING THERE PECH
I wonder if there are new skin colors
what I do find interesting is the brutosaur fos
im hoping it means they might decrease the cost next expac
Yeah thats a weird one
since its done its job and drained gold from the economy
and with current gold amounts, its functionally unobtainable for newer players
especially with the changes going in to shadowlands
5 million gold is currently only obtainable if you farm the AH at the start of each patch on 12 characters
and with the changes to the AH coming
and the changes to leveling
it might make sense to reduce the cost
maybe 500k?
hax
then I feel they'd need to reduce the Mad Merchant's spider's cost too
and all the other gold sink mounts
I think the Brutosaur might be an exception to that because of the AH built in, but I suppose we'll see.
servers are apparently going back up
but build hasnt deployed for the client yet
so they might still be working on issues
unless the spider from the Mad Merchant's cost is reduced too, I'm thinking the Brutosaur will at most go down to 2.5m (so half)
they might be trying to make sure the server works, so if they cant deploy the build, they can still do raid testing
they might reduce a lot of the UBER gold mounts
tbh, 500k is definitely doable
it takes a lot of time
but its doable
5 million isnt realistic anymore
a lot of that gold was warlords or legion gold
those mounts were there to drain the economy AND to expose how people generate those huge sums of gold
the changes to the AH are going to fix some of that
and with a FoS, imo, it makes sense to change some
also, spider might not change just because spider mount
its expensive so its rare
so that arachnophobes can still play
Like all dinosaurs, the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur’s days are numbered. I can confirm that when Shadowlands goes live, the shady vendors Talutu and Tricky Nick will cease selling it. Their other offerings – the Lost Platysaur pet and the Palehide Direhorn mount, will remain available for purchase.
But why
