Is N'zoth already in-game?

[Deleted]

Is it possible there are as of yet 'undiscovered' secrets related to N'zoth / The Old Gods in game? Is it possible to hide models / stuff like this from data mining?

No.

Is the answer to that question.

No. Dataminers ruin everything.

It's possible to hide stuff from dataminers, but it takes a lot of work to do it - more than would be worth the payoff. We already know what he looks and(potentially) sounds like, there would be no point in hiding his model that wouldn't even likely be used this expansion.

Yes just go to Nyalotha.

[Kaleredar]

No reason to put him in the live game files if he isn't needed.

Technically yeah, the forces at the battle of Wyrmrest Temple were N'zoths darlings.

No.

Is the answer to that question.

While I agree with the sentiment / general thoughts, technically wrong because:

There are a couple algorithms they could use to hide this stuff, it would require the game decoding specific sections of the data though. Doesn't seem like something blizzard would worry about as they've let every major spoiler through.

but like he and others have already mentioned basically there is no need for blizz to bother to make coded data so players can't datamine it because they could just not put it in instead which is a 100% fail-safe (obviously different if they want to test something on the PTR or something like that where data becomes public, as they can just do private testing until they are ready to go public.) Just hoping to add some cement to the answer / vouch lol.
