The intro it's good
i know i know lol
Justify it.
jailer was a stone robot this whole time 
But the final just thrown the first in a black hole of misery
I mean, guys, he's not called "the unique" for no reason
idk, it just felt, good?

sure it didn't explain jack about anything
or even what was his plan
or what's to come
This is actually the only thing sorta explained
how does it feel good tho if its all ujst a cliffhanger
but, i kinda liked it, for a moment he looked like he had depth instead of evil guy 101
I'm going to assume, against all evidence, that this expansion actually had a purpose in the grand scheme of WoW's writing team's brains.
Also, how is this THE FINALE OF THE FIRST BOOK if its ending is literally another cliffhanger
Its a massive bait for simps to preorder next expac like ravenous beasts
I just wanna go to azeroth kill some goblins and trolls blizz ๐ญ๐ญ
Thats just a line he pulled out of his ass to sound cool
Eh, fuck it. They'll just add another cat mount for us complacent little simps.
Stop making 90000Qi enemy's
It's more from a cinematic point than the content
no we are getting a dragon pre order mount
I refuse to preorder the next expansion, absolutely no way
literally stole the line from a actual good game FF14
lol
๐
alot of things this xpac were stolen from ff14
people actually pre-order wow?
i do
Man lord of rings it's there, Silmarillion just copy and change some names
do you get any extra stuff if you pre order?
It's simple
yea?
sometimes a pet
mount
other random shit
We all were...
its expensive tho
Ah I see
but u can always buy it later for cheaper once hype dies don
after this hot garbage l'd say l rather play BFA
down
Sad
very much agreed lol
ahhh, the ambiance of Boralus
I cant accept legion it's the last good exp man
i prefer doing cloak on 10 alts than go through this xpac again
Selfie cam patch was better than Shadowlands
The absolute best move at this moment is wait until 10.1, then decide if to get sub.

No reason to buy expac then quit week 1
I mean, I'd get a month just to get some mounts
what?
I spend 90% of my time on legacy content anyway so..
ah
Yeah, I will try mage tower and I'm done for this xpac
old content is only tihng keepin this game going on no patch days u_u
still don't have a single legendary on any of my chars lol
ugh legendary... fuckin hated they made a system like that a gold sink
don't remind meeeeee
legion was free
bfa was free
sl and the future of legendery systems being replaced: lol gib 200k or no
Shadowlands was my full on first xpac on wow, and I was excited to get legendaries till I saw the prices lol

"There must always be a librarian" Don't reference good expansions Blizzard haha
Yikes man, i feel bad for you, this as a first xpac?
Yeah, I started playing wow, um...."somewhere else" when cata was on
i feel bad for anyone who missed legion
and got hooked, warcraft is my childhood lol, I still have the w3 original games
Legion and mop it's all time high for me
: ( damn now im sad
Wow sad
guess i'm unlucky
Yeah
D:
I always wanted to try wotlk, here's to them not fucking it up like they did tbc
tbc classic: lol store mount go brrr
speaking of which
what's the hate behind store mounts? I mean, beside them milking the payers, I mean players, for every cent
most ppl hate that they put more effort into the store mounts than the ones in the game which is obvious
annd ppl hate paying for stuff like that when they already pay for a sub and xpac release
atleast htis is most opinions ihear abt it
Their quality is immensely higher than ingame mounts, its like comparing the graphics of a ps2 game to last of us 2 graphics
when the gold cat one came out, whole orgrimmar filled with it 
I remember when you said you had quit, foxy
And you came back legit faster than the speed of light and had a whole breakdown and tantrum because you needed the cat but didnt have the money
SHUT UP
That was real entertaining
SHUT UP
lmao
you are doxxing me
Exposing is the right word
it was a cat dafire i could not resists
understandable.
ughhhhhhh
I tried to get invincible for like 60 runs or some shit
got the ragnaros hawk in like 20 runs
bro i legit got it last year after farming for whole life time almost
Entitlement, mostly. You can get everything on the shop via in-game effort anyway
except rated pvp
never could get into pvp
i suck at it so
I double suck at it
btw, also love how race to World first is basically "whoever buys more boes wins" lol
It's okay to suck at certain activities but excel at others.
Nobody's asking you to raid with Limit or Method.
I don't excel at raids either.
never did pet battles. though I think I got a shit ton of them
it was their attempt at pokemon huh
Oh. I see.
"Who does more split runs wins"
All the guilds had adverts up
"We'll give you 10million gold if you can trade tierset from the later bosses"
Yes
Now, however will the happy friends return to Azeroth, with the sky closed above Icecrown? Do you reckon they'll just use the Oribos portal we use?
"Yes, we could have used the portal and returned home anytime, but why would we have done so, and possibly gotten more reinforcements as well?"
they use the DK portals yea
they better, l dont wanna spend a patch gathering shit to "go home"
l'm so through with this horse ass story
Maybe the final arch on the top floor of Oribos will be used.
The only guys i like i shadow lands
Just love all of this gracious creatures
Other games made that plot interesting, but I don't trust WoW writers
Again, the final arch on the top floor of Oribos. Just make it a Death Gate.
I genuinely pity that mindset sometimes
what mindset?
Don't worry about it lol
it's not like I don't want to like wow, but hot damn have l been disappointed
and no l dont mind this stuff
in a game that actually does even that well
cough something something 14 cough
l always went into the story open minded
look what we got
35anina fart in the wind arthas
and defective buzz lightyear toy
It's simply not having a reason to care about the Jailer. If he only cared about resetting the Shadowlands, and not using Azeroth to do it, we wouldn't even have bothered to follow Sylvanas.
Maybe to save our friends.
there's no reason to care about any chara anymore
And yes, only the Shadowlands, not the entire cosmos.
gotta simp for Sylvanus
Someone say arch 
CHAMPIEN! THE WOONS HAVE ARISEN AGAIN IN NORTHREND!
True and real, and most would agree.
Where'd the writers that gave us Pandaria questing go. I still have the valley of the four winds finale as one of the best story moments in all of WoW
Why are quests so fun while leveling and tedious at max level?
But raid quests can be implemented.
Remember Firelands?
The Burning Front quests are still memorable to this day.
hey, just here for a question
I have watched SL end cinematic, was only wondering about one thing ( I didn't play through SL I have just watched cinematics )
lorewise what happens so that we are able to match the strength of the jailer at full power, given that at the start of the xpac he was so much stronger than us that even weakened and bare handed he could cancel out the holy light of anduin
so apart from the domination magic he isn't powerful?
and how do we resist domination magic? i know we reforce the shattered helm into the crown of wills ( or something like that ) but only 1 person can wear it
you dont need to wear it
just like you can dominate someone with the helm of domination despite them not wearing it
the crown of wills is similar
You use the crown to give people protection
and the jailer is strong, but domination is the main reason hes so strong
Weve also gotten stronger w/ the covenants help
And by strengthening the covenants, and uniting the covenants, and by numerous other advantages we've taken along the way
I wonder if the thing the jailer is talking about, the "what is to come" is the 7th force
that farim mentions in his research
I thought initially that the 7th force was the first ones but im not as sure
either way I hope the next xpac doesn't deal with it
Could be, unless he's got some kind of dead man's switch scorched earth protocol in the mix
I've said it before and I've said it again--I want the next xpac to have us deal with what the mice were up to while the cats were away
I've been thinking a lot about the Dragon Isles idea.
Maybe with Ysera's daughter who is now leading the Green Dragonflight, looking for Wrathion for his research on the Isles' whereabouts and we help her and Wrathion reach it.
And we find Naga trying to live there peacefully with Azshara leading them.
so relatable
The adventurers are cats. That's a cute analogy.
Aktually I am Champion of Azertoh, Savior of the Shadowlands, Breaker of N'zoth
Yes, but imagine doing it like a cat who see the villains as mouses to eat.
Well yes
TFW the last 4 years of warcraft have done extreme damage to all communities in the game
Like it's almost impressive
"this world is a prison, and i will set us all free"
Plot twist: they were talking about the game, and they made it so bad that everyone was freed from its addiction.
Well i say "everyone" but a good few thousands are beyond saving
Nah, we get BfA 2, Electric Boogaloo.
"CHAMPIEN! The woons have opened agane in Northrend! Azeroth needs ye!"
Revamped Northrend tho? ๐ค
With Dragon Isles as a later patch? ๐ค
you dont have to wait long to be disappointed again, just a month and few weeks away
I wish I could half as negative as you Dafire.
In the words of MJ in Spooderman:
Expect to be disappointed
And you'll be disappointed anyway. Because Blizz.
Or like, itโs a game. Your mood will change about it and if you donโt find it enjoyable anymore thatโs okay.
i'm not negative daniel, i'm being a realist, and so far, reality has proven i have good reason to be negative
cough jailer defeat cinematic cough to cite just the most recent one
if wow were to actually do something good, i would appreciate it doing something good
I mean sure but everything you say seems to always lean towards negative instantly. Who knows 10.0 might be great but it might not. Only time will tell

Happy times, we've just got the Zovaal introduction & end cinematic. Blizzard played it fast and loose with a lot of lore to get here, and this is what it's amounted to...

This video sums it up
Oh, I left a comment on that vid.
that is what i say as well, "time will tell"
they can certainly impress us if they can, but the probability is not in their favor
Bell almost Cursed lmao
Go upvote it.
He said "how the f-"
Doots pls.
What is the comment?
You'll know when you see it.
I don't wanna trash WoW cuz I love the game but bruh this was trash
Demo I don't know you enough to know

World of Warcraft: Housekeeping
Player Housing fuck yeah
Let's do chores in Westfall.
Good
I'll gladly do that shit rather than fight Big Bad Evil Guy #4 who says "actually it's BBEG 5 who is the REAL threat" before he dies
you not gonna be happy when they do a "even bigger cosmic bad guy" like the jailer heavily implies in the cinematic, and the expac reveal is conveniently on the same day as the last lfr wing opening
Who are we kidding? Danuser will just make Sylvanas the crux of the new expansion again.
It happened twice already.
It's 100% gonna be Azerothian
i mean we all loved wow at some point in our lives, or we wouldn't be in this server to begin with,
some of us have already gone through the 5 stages of grief and moved on rather than letting them play with your feelings like an abused housewife
I legitimately do not think they'll pull anyone by going somewhere in outer space
Revamp Northrend, have us deal with housekeeping there. Crown of Wills? Yeah, have someone put that on their head.
10.0 being described by devs as "danuser's baby" is more an ominous statement than a hype-generator
I am hoping when he says that he means "I'm throwing the last 4 years away and will instead do actually cool shit"
But ya know it's 40% 60%
Nerubian uprising let's go.
"time will tell" but the chances are not smiling upon that
Maybe check on Ulduar, see how that place changed.
if you look at danuser's track record before coming to wow, he did this same thing to everquest, he fucked over the game then all he did got swiftly retconned immediately after he left
Gotta wait and see I guess lol. I'll be more excited about HS expac reveal
It's coming next week
Wonder what it'll be about lel
i like hearthstone as a super duper casual game, cba doing any more than that, they really do way too many shop items for battlegrounds and in general
The WoW community could probably write a better story than Danuser with a handful of french fries. But let's see what he comes up with.
so I'm listening to a asmongold video, he is counting the lore stuff that they undermined in order to build up the jailer, and curiously to me he mentions the burning legion
what's the relationship between the burning legion and the jailer?
the only thing I can think of is that sylvanas was already working for the jailer during the legion xpac, so possibly he planned to benefit from the burning legion to gather souls of the falled ones
but nothing beyond that
am I missing something here? did the jailer and sargeras know each other?
The dreadlords, who were with Denathirus who is in league with the jailer, are the ones who convinced Sargeras to create the Burning legion
So by proxy
The jailer is the one who started the Burning Crusade
from what do we know that the dreadlords convinced sargeras to create the burning legion? What I know ( which may not be correct ) is that sargeras was sorta like the war titan, and he fought obscure forces, then understood that the fight was unwinnable and it would have been better to just wipe off the life from azeroth by himself
thus creating the burning legion
And the Dreadlords gave Kil'jaiden Animations the Helm of Domination, who put it on Ner'zhul.
Thus creating the Lich King.
It's an existing expression lol
Yes and the dreadlords worked with the jailer
What I don't really understand is why the Lich King, and thus the Jailer wanted to destroy the Legion when they created it.
@sonic flame You can find the answers to a lot of this on Wowpedia or IN Nobbel87 videos
Ner'zhul rebelled against the Legion
It was to the point where they sent dreadlords to make sure he stayed on task
While the Jailer is responsible for the creation of the Lich King, obviously not all of his plans go 1:1 scale
That is where the lore falls apart.
It makes 0 sense
I like to think the Jailer was an opportunist but he paints himself as some sort of gigamind chad
Intervention of free will on a plan spanning eons
Why would you ever paint yourself as anything other than infallible and competent to your enemies and the people you're trying to manipulate
Well I never said that's what he shouldn't do
I'm just daying I don't think that's what he was
Oh no! A big bad that doesn't announce his flaws to be a relatable antagonist!
Incorrect. Sargeras came upon a planet with a worldsoul in it, corrupted by the Void. There, he found dreadlords "worshipping" the void who he tortured and interrogated. They convinced him that the Void was the true enemy of reality.
I'm not saying he should explain that "yeah bro I kinda just saw stuff sticking and capitalized on it"
I'm just thinking that if that is how he actually operated, he would be that tiniest bit more interesting
But nah apparently everything was totally planned out
You're not getting it
What am I not getting?
Even if he made the plan or took opportunity and something happened along the way that he didn't anticipate or prepare for, he's not going to announce it to everyone. He's going to say "Just as planned!" for the sake of optics and to still look like he's in control
That's basic intimidation
I know that
It makes him seem like he plays 5D Chess and we're not even pawns in the game, just bystanders.
He's not going to act like anything was unplanned or improvised
Why would anyone who wants to dominate others not look/sound intimidating
Period
Lame story. Change it.
Uhm..no shit?
I never said that's how he should've presented himself
What
I am saying that thinking if that's how he actually operated is WAY more interesting.
And he never said anything about Azeroth, but goes "DEATH CLAIMS THE SOUL OF ZA WARUDO"
Like, the opportunist is more interesting than the mastermind in this sense
The reality is, this isn't the Jailer pretending to be a 69d chess genius gigachad. It's blizz literally trying to tell us he is but also failing to do so at the same time because the current writing team is straight delusional.
He said "your world," and our world is Azeroth
Not everything needs to be painted in big literal block letters
I'm aware if that and I hate that yeah
And? What are you gonna do about it, bitch until more gray hair pops up? It's just a videogame dude it's not the Illiad
Which, also, was shitty
Make do with what we got
God forbid anyone be upset, right Gum?
gumball is the taliesin of this channel
Making due with shit is kind of just
๐
I'm just saying you can shoulda woulda coulda all day but what's the damn point
if you don't like it don't pay for it
Basically. Drink water, take a lap.
thousands of people already do it, why not 1 more right e.e
Lol
that's literally the point
Touch grass, because you two are out of touch
I continue to pay for products I support and stop paying for products I don't. At the end of the day, WoW is a product
why spend so much of you're time bitching and complaining about something you hate so much when you could just drop and get so much time to do other things
Gumball, can we not be upset?
Like. Let me shit on obvious shitty narative
We want the game to be better man
That's why we're complaining
Settling for shit or leaving is not helping
and do WoW devs hang out in this discord?
You can but what good is it gonna do either than force confirmation bias?
Sure but for me it was more about "authority" you see? But it's fitting for adventurers. :)
does complaing here do anything for the game?
No. Let's me vent though
K
i'm not your therapist
Because we care about our favorite game ๐
I'm not asking you to be????
What the hell. I'm expressing my opinij
I barely to this
daniel saying he's not your therapist is the best line he said in this channel ngl
do you? i've never once see you say anything about the game that in anyway would make me believe you like this game
i'm gonna make a meme gimme a sec
Other than "ha ha pandaren fluffy"
Like everyone is sick and tired and fed up. Everything sucks. Nobody needs constant reminding over what sucks. We know what sucks. We're trying to exercise what little free time we have not embracing the suck
Gonna be honest, caring about a game is not only throwing tantrums. I understand frustration. Constant vent and reminding is just tiresome.
Hard to do when the suck is being rebroadcast by everyone with an opinion
that isn't what I do lmao
I express excitement too dude
I like being positive
I am deeply sorry so, but I do not focus on one person in particular. What I am talking about is this constant feeling of "hey, is this the place where people trashtalk the game constantly?"
To be honest it probably is
Needs a channel lol
Yeag
If people cannot really, yes, it would need a channel.
Because I came to talk about beats that are spoilers and instead run into Blizz Bad soapboxing for the nth fucking time
People would express their frustration here while still letting other chans a bit more... Free for talking about what they are supposed to be.
God forbid anyone be allowed to have fun
๐
Yes. When you open other ppls eyes to the fact its not a juicy steak but a mound of steaming shit on their plate, you gain influence. The more people who recognize they're being fucked, the harder the pressure is on blizz to knock it the fuck off
I like fun.
Yes. It's a bit like the forum. You talk about a spoiler, a quest, and you have "Blizz bad". I remember lefting even the official one for this. I couldn't post one message without having each time the two sames dude saying it was bad and that everything was bad and "how dare you appreciate this element of the game". I was tired.
You spelled "influence" when I think you meant "clout"
You're manufacturing an echo chamber
It will still have the "new" feeling.
People are generally more drawn to negativity. Positivity just gets a smile and a whatever.
check the meme i made just for you in dms ๐
Just say WoW is flawed without saying WoW is shit.
Then you simply don't pay attention. You only focus on the negatives because it feeds your bias
And echo chambers are dangerous...
That being said, I will keep memeing on WoW.
Pot calling the kettle black just a bit
It has the chance to be. Thet REALLY need to hit it out of the park tho. We need a Legion mixed with MoP
Can I see meme?
Or stop setting up expectations off of benchmarks likely mired with nostalgia and influenced by public opinion and stop expecting an MMO to win an Oscar
since you asked nicely..
Thankies
my "bias" is let people have fun and enjoy themselves not everyone subs for the same thing. someone might sub to play a game with a friend. someone might sub for the story. just because YOU don't like X,Y< or Z right now doesn't mean they won't. by buying this game you aren't forced into a life longer servitude to Blizz. if someone doesn't like it they can leave. assuming they want to
Ngl it is actually funnny
Not what I want. I just want it fun :P
No, its not. You constantly want to shutdown any sort of criticism of the game. It's not healthy. Learn to take the negative and positive and be critical.
Same 
i take negative feedback all the time the problem is when you're always negative
Personally, I'd consider going out of your way to pursuade others into having the opinion that the game is shit would constitute as toxic gatekeeping with extra steps
Ka'ren, the Lands of Negativity.
XD
Yeah, I gotta give it to him. Saying the game is shit just asks for a "just don't play it then lol"
One does not need to, when we want to talk about the game (positively), be encountered with "the game is shit".
That in and of itself is a fallacy, used to shutdown criticism.
Constantly
Correct.
That's not what I do at all lmao
I like saying the game is fun
Cuz it can be
But do you feel targeted, really?
one doesn't need to come here for the first time and be like "hey i just bought the game what do i do" and hear " LOL THE GAME IS TRASH"
Like why?
Nobody singling you out, WAI
Retreat whilst you can arch
I didn't write any name. I just talk about general behaviour that a community should have.
I mean I single people out for sure lol but I'll point at who
If you're not targeted, you don't have to feel targeted nor responding as to justify yourself, because it is not an accusation about you. :)
It's more the reminder of social behaviour and rules that apply to everybody. Like the "be nice"!
Not even I say that to newcomers. I tell them both sides and to try it for themselves to see if they like it.
Telling someone how they should feel is kinda... eh, yikes
I say that nicely, of course, even if my english can sound a bit rude by inexperience.
It's cool
Tell me about it. I feel like there are numerous people around here who feel like I'm talking down to them or bullying them constantly
When most of the time I don't even know who they are
Some people just love to apply tone to text
I like you, but its because of how you carry yourself and try to sound better than.
I mean I am most of the time
It's the equivalent of a general advice that would be writen in a book about how to feel less anxious. A bit like, when a moderator just remind the rule, someone feel as he should justify himself. This pressure of culpability is not healthy.
Oh no!
I like that Gumball can prove his point without insults, that shows more maturity than most people.
You're no better or lesser than anyone else. To think otherwise is kinda sociopathic.
The advice here is "you don't hate to", by explaining why it's not targeted toward him.
Begrudging respect, because we disagree a lot, but I still respect him.
I react to the attitude shown. If the person comes at me acting like a turd, I'm gonna treat them like they're a turd since that's how they want to present themselves
I remember seeing that yes. But it can because of the absence of smiley, or because a more descriptive tone can feel "cold". When we are not used to, it can feel rude.
I agree that Gumball don't insult.
And if he feels the need to do it, he doesn't curse.
I've seen him curse like, once?
When I do I'm pretty obvious about it, "you are a" statements lol
Ugh. I wanted to talk about jiro and this whole thing put me out if it
Gamers are the worst thing about gaming
I like the Jiro.
Jiro are cool
And the 50% Cyphers item they sell.
Smol bois
Was it just the similar name or were they actually a reference
I don't have yet a quest explaining the Toa circle, but considering their abilities, they seem to be defenders.
Bad Apple with a changed name.
Who?
Neat
Oh, okay.
For example : https://www.wowhead.com/npc=184555/toa-aria
You had me as "Annoying" in your notes.
Yeah sorry I don't remember you
i wonder if gumball has any notes about me lol
Alright, fair enough.
Maybe. I'll look at them ingame in a bit
And : https://www.wowhead.com/npc=184556/toa-mira#abilities
If that's really what they are, fighters/defenders, that could be a small reference to the Toa, maybe, but I am not sure.
As for Demotivated, the Toa are elemental defenders from Bionicle, that protect the matorans, little builders from a biomemachanic robot.
(robot that is itself a world)
They have some quotes but didn't translated them yet.
Huh. Neat. I never played Bionicle.
I'm pretty sure it's coincidental. Blizzard references and nods tend to be pretty on the nose
that's neat, a blast from my childhood that i prolly would have missed
Bionicle was the shit. I remember hounding my parents for Bionicle kits as a kid
those little capsules that they used to come in. clutch
Then, I'd never build the one in the kit, I'd bix them together to make a custom one
Yes, could be! NIce coincidence still..
Right?!
Bionicle was really, really nice as an universe.
If one day you have time, I strongly recommend you to look a bit into it.
Pretty big universe from what was toys.
Ahaha yes, it is a really BIG iceberg.
It took time to understand everything.
I still have the books. ๐
If you ever thought WoW lore was unnecessarily complicated you can fuck right off
Bionicle, man
And also the movies, actually.. In CD (in original version with bonus!)
Ahaha it's true. ๐
Bionicle was like.. damn, you need to take notes.
Even the chronology itself.
And the multiverse.. and the eldritch plant..
Next on my TED Talk we discuss CHIM, the Elder Scrolls, and how using console commands is both lore-friendly and canon
Aha, good one too! I remember a.. 4 hours video about it. Really dense but wow, actually pretty interesting.
Someone summed up WoW in 23 minutes.
It was not really a summary.. more a video about "how can I explain this"
As Elder Scrolls can be pretty complicated about the world, cosmos, the fact that it's a dream but you can know this and just disappear, etc etc..
How much time do you think a Bionicle summary would take?
10h of video.
Well actually we do have a 9h20 video that is a Bionicle story summary.
Not lore, just story.

Petition to make this the bionicle channel until x.2.5
Impressive.
Yes some parts are.. yeah, really dense about what happens. Core War is small, but you can talk 3 hours about one part of a arc trilogy (so not a trilogy, but an narrative arc that is a trilogy, in the bionicle universe).
Obi-Wan trailer came out an hour ago so bye
Oh, nice!

Beware of the High Ground.
So, I've had this thought for a while:
Daily Quests having a story focus. What if, for example, we would quest with NPCs and learn about the zone in specific areas of the map, and be told to fuck off to the next NPC in the other area of the map the next day? I think it would be kind of neat.
Repeatable quests could be more like culling threats and gathering information/items, rather than "Kill this NPC, yes, the very same miniboss, for the third day in a row."
Dailies could have a story focus, not only be a daily chore.
i mean we already have gathering quests tho
Got that right. But why gather the same thing over and over again?
but then that's just a simple fix of creating more dailies to have on rotation
its not a "new type" of quest its just a different item you're picking up
It's not a daily quests fix, it's a story fix.
I'm just saying daily quests could add to the story, too.
everything adds to the story even if its a little bit or a huge bit. idk sometimes you need to go blow up malfunctioning proto chickens
i get what you're saying i would like more diversity to dailies and have them be more prominent but its been a tough year for everything going on at blizzard so hopefully the next questing chains in 10.0 will be better
do you remember the link to add manually alpha beta to the client?
I've seen a screen with a possible alpha
can be fake
Thatโs fake for sure
Thereโs no publicly forcible alpha/beta, so anyone showing that is lying
Thereโs no CDN to pull it from
@vernal juniper
ARTHAS HAD THE MOST BS DEATH IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY
What the actual fuck were they thinking
he died like 12 years ago wdym
They were thinking "Fuck these characters we've followed for decades, and fuck their legacies. It's time for some new blood, bitches!"
Rather than "No new ideas, nostalgia and rehash forever until the end of timmmmeeeeee" Man I am so ready for vanilla classic.
Vanilla classic happened already. We're approaching Wrath.
Classic Classic
that's already happened, check "Season of mastery"
Sorry, I meant the Shadowlands death
I just thought it was dumb
There was no point of bringing him back
Classic Classic, Classic
BfA Classic
Fucking, THIS
Yeah, I'm sick and tired of people bringing up this George Washington guy. Why do people keep mentioning him when he's not even relevant to current events anymore?
I'm am nostalgic for some corruption and azurite powers.
Ab. Lincoln, too!
[Crushing Assault]
Crushing Assault - https://ptr.wowhead.com/spell=278826/crushing-assault - PTR 9.2.0
Give me this back, thank you, and goodbye.
xD
I honestly would take the heart of azeroth or artifacts again.
honestly i think they shouldve just evolved on the artifacts stuff
talent trees feel good even if theyre temporary
i think if they tried to make them tied to various game activities and play styles instead of class specific - it might work better
Soulbinds were supposed to be that but minus a couple they never felt impactful
they were too simple
the thing with artifacts is there were big nodes that gave you new stuff
soulbinds only had one, maybe two of those
and they were so far apart it felt irrelevant
That primus theory was really freaking good O_O
Yeah...
i would say "won't turn out to be true because blizzard is nowhere near 5head enough to even conceive of that" but then people would call me blizz hater
๐
Literally no one would say that
And even if they said that, would they be wrong Daf?
There were issues with artifacts too though even though the progression felt awesome. There wasnt really any 'choice' in it once you were max. It was really just defining what order you wanted stuff as you levelled it
An artifact style progression with multiple pathways would be awesome as hell
Effectively a 'talent system' as people want it
only problem with that is there will always be an "optimal" path and people will complain that they are "forced" to take it
I dont believe that's true, I've seen games where there is a huge amount of viable build variety
The wow team just suck at it
I must admit by my own experience in MMORPG that players have a tendancy to ask for the "strongest" class, and to take the most optimal choice for every situation... And "builds" pages for MMO are rather that, a "what you should play".
In some way of education, players can associate "optimal" with "viable" because the less difficulties they encounter the better it would be.
Bad player on a good spec worse than a good player on a bad spec
Simple as
Too many bad players think they're good players, as well
Ooooh you are totally right about that!
So what's the odds 9.2.5 adds 80 renown catch up
At least let double renown work until 60 rather than just 5. I would love having it barely be a thought to get a full conduit tree.
when will ptr come back online?^
No idea yet!
What did I miss? ๐
A theory which explain that the Primus could be the real baddie, and that Zovaal was just dominated all along.
That actually sounds way better. Just straight up faking it as the Runecarver, and setting up Zovaal as โฆ well, as we know him. An overly confident not-that-clever bossman.
Their appearances should have been switched.
I'm tired of fighting topless bald guys.
Old Man Primus would be a way to shake it up.
Come to think of it, did Zovie even use the Gavel of the First Arbiter as a flail like in the key art?
Huh, neat.
I guess he isn't a complete flailure, then.
Holy fuck
Blizz is making all Slands raids relevant in s4
That is some straight POGCHAMP shit!
9.2.5 just got pushed to PTR

Wowhead comments always the best
Season 4 mythic is gonna be so refreshing. Thatโs a huge change
I mean, if they had absolutely 0 content for a full year, id be concerned the more hardened copiumers would run out of their precious drug
Can't have that
Imagine being shadowlands though,
Launch --> 8month content drought --> 9.1 --> 8month content drought --> full year content drought--> 10.0
I see it less as a โweโre out of contentโ and more of a โyou guys have been asking for these things and when is a better time then the end of an expansionโ
eh, it's a bit of both
this basically confirms no 10.0 until like February
But at least they're doing SOMETHING
Canโt say that SLs has been all sunshine and rainbows but weโve been asking for rotational mythic+ dungeons for like ever
They wouldn't put work into doing this new system and retooling old dungeons if they had something for 2022
So are y'all reading this as season 4 will have a 16 key pool, or are they dropping the SL dungeons besides Taz
16key pool would be logical, but blizzard doesn't work by conventional logic
People apparently think they're just adding 6 keys but change up read to me as replacing
If they remove the SL dungeons, and your BiS trinket is from SL dungeons
People will be mad
๐
eh, but you may have ilvl relevant gear from Nathria
So we all know one key will be Grimrail Depot.
Thereโs no point of saying tavesh if sl dungeons are already included
Would be redundant
I think throwing the current expac dungeons in the trashbin for m+ is not exactly a good move, having 16key pool would have been more intuitive.
But i dont get paid for gamedesign so who knows
If the game doesnโt drop highest itmlvl then you BiS trinket wouldnโt drop from there but somewhere else
I still remember people having the nighthold trinket(even LFR ilvl) as BiS in argus, so thats not always the case
Convergence of fates for warriors i think
I mean i agree itโs odd to throw away 6 dungeons but youโve already seen these dungeons for nearly 2 years. I think theyโre going with refreshing the pool rather than having people run the same stuff again
Yes but if something else is BiS then say IQD then thatโs just how it is
I'm sold
Weโre excited to announce that weโre going to shake things up in Mythic+ and raiding in Season 4. Weโd like to change up the Mythic+ dungeon pool so that it would include 8 dungeons that span the last four expansions of WoW:
hmm
this def. sounds like scrapping current SL dungeons
well 'scrapping'
neat
@deep pawn your idea
They're treating their dungeons like they treat their systems every 2 years, in the trashbin, poggers
well it was expected
Meh, if this carries through to the next expansion I could see it being (season 1 10.0 dungeons, season 2 patch 10.1 dungeon plus 6 like we see here, season 3 10.2 dungeons and a different set of 6) that is assuming we get two dungeons and or a mega dungeon but you get the point keeps itโs different and not the same for 2 years how is this a bad change
i think they're still figuring out what they'll do
i think having too many dungeons is not great
Also imagine the chaos of LFR affixes ๐
I personally dont see the harm in having current + old dungeons, but im not even an armchair developer, surely their massive gigabrains know some pitfall i dont
Or so one would think
Probably just balancing and keeping gear in-check if they had all the dungeons queued up for mythic
I would imagine that would be a headache to balance say 8 dungeons for each expansion for the past 10 expansions and have to consider how each thing plays with each class/spec every season
you can send stuff like ore cross-faction on the PTR
I guess that was kind of implied as a possibility, but it was a pleasant surprise to see it actually work
they moved the Org guild vendors, and I'm gonna assume the new SW stable is where they're moving the alliance guild stuff
Granted that little house was a bit dated
9.2.5 wen
100% faster
wait really
ye
when I announced it in the /5 channel on PTR some people went as insane as I did lmao
is it though? You can basically "trade" across the AH
barely
cross-realm you can't really test on PTR cause they're all connected
...I think at least?
no way they let mage portals be insta-cast
Pog. No waitโฆ.youโre right lol ๐
Golden King gets to have an actual stable soon yay
right now he just sits in front of a small house in the trade district
Not really. The economy has been cross faction for years already.
Yeah I misread
Y'ALL BETTER BE VOTING FOR UBS FOR M+
All rains relevant in season 4???
Must be dreaming good lord
I get to run Mechagon again
I missed it so
Portal from Org to UC seems to be un-clickable
People complaining about season 4 of SL have to be either joking or eternally jaded right?
Who knows
They'll never think the game can be good
Itโs sorta a case of damned if you do damned if you donโt at this point
they think this is replacing 10.0
instead of them just adding stuff inbetween since its going to be a long wait
I highly doubt anyone is thinking that
dunno why they are crying then
Because โwe want change, no not that change that change is badโ
Imagine people pissing about this man
they should be hapy its not gonna be 1 year of just this saeson 3
^^^^^
Also new affix that makes ALL RAIDS RELEVANT???
That's good
That's literally AMAZING
I'm a little concerned about 3/4ths of the m+ pool being the 3 mega dungeons
It means that raid tiers aren't JUST relevant for a single patch anymore like
that's a lot of the same asset areas
@uncut vault Hey, your amazing with all your screenshots.
if you have a dark iron, there is a quest in by the anvil
Mechagon City and the Junkyard was Hella different tbh
So like i' not complaining
Karazhan yeah
OOHHHH SNOW LEAPORD
This community just complains to complain omega fucking lol
Fire mages should be pumped
They get BRACERS
thoughts on season 4?
MECH BRACERS BACK DUDE
Good personally. I see nothing negative
I mean look at who their idols are in the wow community
is it level 50 or 60? Cuase mines not leveled sadly
I like the fact that they are using WoD
It's potentially a sign that older dungeons could be turned into M+ dungeons
I'm confused as to why Dark Irons and belfs are getting more race specific content when 6 races are still missing heritage.
I want MoP dungeons for M+ THEN I'll play M+
That is fair. I love the Stormstout Brewery
^
Please no nixaou m+
Seige on Niuzao temple?
Nizaou
Hmmm I like it tbh
Ya however you spell it.
It's fun during Timewalkinh and through leveling Imo haha
MoP dungeons were fun af
so ptr development notes only talk about cross faction
NO WAY THAT ISNT REAL NOP WAY
but there's definitely a bunch of other new stuff
Its real

@uncut lintel
I feel like this is foxy reaction to anything cat related
did you mean in ironforge or shadowforge?
Looks like a full blood knight set is coming
https://ptr.wowhead.com/spell=370686/ensemble-blood-knights-dedication
For deathknights "heritage armor"
Like the BE set?
no idea
Ohhh true
Oh heritage armor for did
anyway
Dks*
wheres our heritage armor for other races o-o
we ever getting those
wa that just a bfa thing onyl
I could be wrong to be fair eheh
:< i want heritge trolls and draenei armors
Same oml
@subtle oar i want new cat mounts :>
Dark irons are getting a new mount
no they are not
The quest is apparently locked to dark irons currently
I want more Cloudie bois

:<
PANDA HERITAGE ARMOR NOW! D:<
well odds are yes, but Dark Irons have to earn it
otherwise wut was point of holding it back for 2 yrs
yea belfs get a fuckin 10 pixelated bird
And an armor set
an updated blood knight set
oh
well someone linked the helm of it and i can already tell its gonna be fricken ugly
i want to be able to use it on horde
inb4 lore nerds go: u cant it has dwarf on the armor
: (
well it can't fly so a dead mount in general. ๐
WE'VE WON
I WANTED THAT SO BAD ON THE ACTUAL POLL I CANT BELIEVE PPL STILL CHOSE A FUCKING TREE, OVER A CATERPILLER OR SLIME CAT, IM STILL PISSED
A FUCKING TREE, HOW BASIC DO U AHVE TO BE TO VOTE FOR A TREEEE
sorry im just mad
Not really. I VASTLY prefer that WoW has Flying and Ground mounts. One of my biggest peaves about FF is that every mount can fly.
so this is either gonna be a drop, a questline, or a 25 bucks 
please D:;
please i wanted this mount so bad
I only ever use flying mounts really
im gonna cry
I'd rather they all could fly like ff14
No thanks. It makes no sense.
We have flying spiders already, why the hell can't a magical golem fly
People who voted for the teee
Don't deserve to vote
caterpiller, the jelly cat, ANY OF THEM WERE COOLER, THAN THE TREE, and wats worse, u literally never see anyone on the tree now
I voted for the undead mount tbh
I voted slime cat myself
^^
and more ppl chose tree
I wanted to ride around on an undead spooder tbh xP
im thinking it was one of those ones in northrend tho
not sure idk if we ever got to see it in 3d
other than the icon
god i really hope this slime cat mount comes to the game, like please, ill, ill get 6 month sub for it, ill buy everything--- ill play the game for the rest of my life
@subtle oar@deep pawn think we will get more customizations for allied races? like vulpera and shit
did all the art people leave
they're working on 10.0 probably
I want more Panda stuff
no

Pandas got stiffed on customizations tho
i wonder wut movie they are watching now tho for 10.0, we saw wut they watched for SL and that came out bad
jk again
panda needs fluffy tail option and more hair styles that dont look like shit
Surprised wowhead didn't put up a datamining stream, guess not a lot interesting in the files, just what's actually in the world.
Uh, no, there is a shit ton.
the cat things rthe only things that mater
Like a new Tiris Fall Glades map has been datamined
we are not done with sylvanas?
New encrypted mounts and pets were also added in this build:
1 battle pet using bear cub sounds
1 battle pet using harvest golem sounds
2 mounts using serpert sounds
i just want Vol'jin to not be forgotten about
its ok, i wont ever forget him, due to him being my fav warchief and troll character, tho i do love zappy boi and bwonsamdi alot to,
We're 3 years away from the year of the snake, so can't be chinese ones
true
Next up is rabbit
cant wait to buy the rabbit that is all gold colored bcuz they are lazy
9.2.5 is taking us through winter veil though with the sleigh mount
sleigh mount is cool but i wish you could add you own ground mounts to it LOL

THAT IS WAY TO COOL FOR BLIZZARD
thats somethinh ff14 would probably do tho
@upper pasture i would just add cat mounts to mine
it would of been perfect
what if it was a 8 person mount but you had to get druids to go fly form to move it
but they are 6 of the spots kek

so the scar is still there apparently
I honestly would laugh if they heal tirisfal while teldrassil is still a lump of coal.
They deserve it for sundering the planet uwu
There's a Khadgar and Jaina conversation in Oribos
Gotta say the convo is very death flaggy
Yikes
dadghar's convo
Huh, the new Khadgar/Jaina conversation was actually added to the game files back in 9.1 but only got used/decrypted now. Development wise it was added right before the conversation of Jaina meeting Uther again in Korthia. Interesting!
Perhaps forgot about it
I'm a weirdo who'd love an expansion with less focus on raids and more on dungeons, world content, and social stuff.
whoa khadaddy
this is pretty neat
but where more heritage sets at 
appparently the mount can be used on both factions, atleast i have a reason to go back to alliance
Oof
That axe weapon model viewer does not load, mount does.
Oops sorry. But I see you got it
Bolvar and Taelia Fordragon Dialogue - Patch 9.2.5
The WoW community has served me up some good ass misogyny once again
?
what do you mean
The comments on this video are pretty much "lmao look at her trying to be manly" or something

Also the fact that some of them say some horrible stereotypical things like "then she turned to daddy and said 'Can I get money for a new mount?'"
"lmao look at her trying to be manly"
written by a dude sat in his basement alone
And stuff about "the empathetic intuition of women"
Pretty much lmao
oof
Jaina and Khadgar Dialogue - Patch 9.2.5
This sounds a bit like Jaina Guardian of Tirisfal baiting to me.
Khadgar says he's old, and stuff.
Now, imagine Jaina's already astronomical power level plus the powers of the Guardian.
Khadgar doesnt have the Guardians powers. That died with Mehdiv
Yeah, you're stretching. I've been locking thru the comments and I cant count on a single hand the gross ones. Come on Wai
I'm pretty sure Medivh didn't lose the powers, only the title. Aegwynn ressed him and dipped.
Khadgar is pretty guardian. He has atiesh after all
Khadgar does not have Mehdivs powers
He rejecdted them
Do you not remember the Khadgar animatic in legion
biggest sign of a timeskip is that Liadrin adopted the blood elf girl from children's week and she's old enough to be a paladin now
He rejected the title because it wasn't the real Medivh, but Medivh still calls him the Guardian at the end of Karazhan.
but that'll be "current" time though
He rejected the powers man
Doesn't mean he's not the Guardian, though?
He doesnt have the powers, which was your theory
I mean, isn't he powerful enough anyway?
Khadgar is the only mage we see use all three specs.
Uh no?
Yeah, k.
Jaina does too my dude. None of the npcs in game are bound by the players gameplay limitations
But they are characterized by the way they fight.
no
Jaina, the Frost Mage.
Kael'thas, the Fire Mage, etc.
You can't tell me Turalyon isn't a ret paladin.
Hes not. He's a PALADIN
Fine, have it your way. I'll believe it when I see him throw a shield or heal people.
So far I've seen wings and a 2H sword.
Blizzard has outright said this about NPCs and you've been told this by others in this Discord before.
Blizz > Head canon
Again, characterized by the way they fight, more than their class.
No
We know Jaina is capable of using fireballs, she does it in two instances. Does she like to? No.
They are characterized as "Mage, Paladin, Warrior," etc
A lot of the time, they aren't even bound to a single "class"
Like Lilian or Voljin
Alleria is an excellent example, too.
She's like a hunter/shadow priest.
And even Alleria can be said to be a marksmanship hunter.
No pet, no melee weapons.
Nah. Whatever she is, is def not a shadow priest. Its something vastly different and more powerful
Who knows, maybe Alleria's voidmode is tied directly to the Naaru she absorbed.
Making her basically Naaru+
But then again, we hadn't seen her use it since Legion.
Huh.. Sylvanas' judgement got datamined.. Interesting
I suppose I'm fine with what they are doing. Probably the best ending anyone who isn't in love with her could ask for.
voice lines are jumbled but what's there is hmmm....interesting
I feel like looking it up, but it also happens today.
Maybe I'll spoil myself to it.
Nah it happens next week
