[Nyel]

Mhm this night is getting... interesting.

The Red Shirt Guy has apparently found an unfinished lighthouse model also labeled as Kul'Tiras

It was fake that stirred up the Azshara crazies a while back.

Well, is it? Doesn't look that fake, does it? Maybe it wasn't back then just too early?

[Renley]

Oh yes, because that doesn't get tedious at all, it's not like we already run into leashing issues or anything.

So you're chain pulling, what, 3-5+ mobs well above the bottom to AoE with your ground targeted spell..? *head scratch* No wonder you hated the zone. It's not tedious at all if you treat the zones like every other zone. Utilize the ground as ground, and water as air space. It works wonders.

Anywho, on topic, nice find by Ian, never saw that back then! Super hyped for the coming months. Wonder if we'll get a tease or announcement at Gamescom, like we did for Legion. :O!

Glad we could get this over with this early on in the thread. Thanks KaNNis!

That's the point of a convincing fake.

That one is fake. We saw this one last year pre-legion

I get salty if I can't get 5 mobs at a minimum, truthfully. But no, it is tedious, multiple classes had a number of issues with the zone, etc. You can't treat the water as air when there are (in this comparison) aerial mobs all around.

Is it? I can't see the Red Shirt Guy spreading fake info.

Don't expect a teaser at Gamescom. More likely we'll see something at Blizzcon.

[zlygork]

I want Blizzard to go back to formulas that worked, abandon things that don't, etc. And what other directions have I complained about? Because I certainly don't remember complaining about every possible story direction.

I have seen you criticize anynthing remotely ressembling sci-fi, including the void, other planets and technology and here you seem to be quite strongly opposed to south seas. Although I'll correct myself, you do seem enthusiastic about repeating wotlk.
At any rate, I don't intend to derail the topic too much with your personal preferences I just had noticed some pretty strong negativity coming from you from on many threads.

It's very much real! Was added in Legion beta.

Relevant filenames:

world/wmo/brokenisles/azsuna/7az_kultiras_lighthouse.wmo (parent wmo)
world/wmo/brokenisles/azsuna/7az_kultiras_lighthouse_000.wmo (group wmo)

It sadly remained textureless, but still real.

Won't expect it, but I wouldn't rule it out. We have precedent for expansion announcements at Gamescom, and it has been 2 years since the last announcement. But I HIGHLY suspect we'll get something at either of those events.

Obviously could just be PR/advertising but "..putting on our best show yet..". Hard to top an expansion announcement from 2 years ago.

I think this almost puts it to bed that we might be getting the south seas/Naga expansion. This is alot like we saw stuff data mined named " Iron Horde" stuff used in SoO ptr.

Well yes, because intergalactic space coalitions against an enemy that was literally just introduced would be awful. If we must do that at all, the Void Lords should actually be built up for players to care about them (a la Scourge & Burning Legion in WCIII). And yes, I'm not fond of the South Seas either. Hate the theme, Azshara, ironically, has the depth of a puddle, etc.

There are plenty of directions I'm in favor of. WotLK 2 was, largely, a meme. It was the high point of this game, but I did want Azshara delayed to an obvious rehash.

Give me a couple of weeks until I kick in with the Unity mock ups

WoD was an objective flop, people were content starved and leaving WoW en masse, they had to do it then.

Legion is holding up much better than WoD.

While I am quite inclined to believe the items being datamined, I believe this was just meant to be a lighthouse in azsuna, where we do see kul'tiras NPCs, so nothing to get particularly hyped over.

The man is pretty consistent though: he wants WotLK 2, or a back to our roots Vanilla-soft-reboot, loathes Azshara and the Void. That's not exactly negativity for negativity's sake. Like every other bored and dissolute poster here he is just making his hopes known.

Ahh, that explains why I remember it then.
