Why is Un'goro crater underwater?

[Deleted]

So, we all know that the 7.3 Magni/Azeroth Hearth scenario takes place in Silithus, as someone datamined a while ago, but now, looking at the map of the scenario, can someone tell me why is Un'goro completly underwater?

And I know this isn't the final version of Silithus, because in the newest 7.3.2 built, the path to Silithus isn't filled with water, as it is in this map.

Il'gynoth: "Her heart is a crater, and we have filled it."

Un'Goro is/was the heart of life on Azeroth that was basically Eonar the Lifebinder's playground.

Huh. Weird.

Well, I kinda though they gonna fill it with something evil, or shadow related, not like a garden pool.

[ChronoSul]

its just Un'goro without the trees covering remember a lot of the zone is actually swampy

N'Zoth and his minions are water-dwelling, primarily.

There's a couple of them she used, I don't think that indicates Un'goro necessarily. I think that phrase is specifically talking about the actual heart of Azeroth, which we skirted around in the scenario.

Only makes sense that the water level is different now with a new moon (Argus) in the sky.

Maybe he decided to take a piss on Azeroth too before we seal him on Argus? Ever thought about that?!

Un'goro does indeed look like a one big urinal, I give you that.

FUCK.

So much for a Hearthstone-themed Un'goro crater revamp...

Wonder how it could be flooded though. Stuck between 3 deserts and an active volcano in the center, not sure how all that water could get there. I could really only see Tanaris being flooded enough to reach Un'Goro.

Because Un'goro is below the game's sea level and the whole area is just copy/pasted from the main game world. They didn't bother to fix the water levels because nobody is supposed to see it.

Clearly Thousand Needles breached through the crater walls.

Pssst, you'll ruin the suspense. But yeah, the water level matches the sea level, that just means extremely lazy programing on Blizz side, because they usually check these type of things, and this rarely happens. And it shouldn't be hapening at all, when we are in the middle of heated hype theories.

Old news, someone suggested weeks ago that it was just the way it is with that kind of map. Surroundings get flooded for a reason, and I don't remember what it is precisely.

It's way outside the area a tiny scenario takes place in. I don't think it says they're lazy, I think it says they're smart. Why waste time fixing something that no one will ever actually see and is irrelevant to the content they're designing.

It's just a random, weird fluke.

Im not convinced that there is any blood from the wound at all. The fly over makes it look like it is just magma and fire from a super heated powerful impact.

Oh Yak.. As much as I'd love that the place is just too tiny for a big ol' savage dinosaur land.

That's why you zone it. Zone it off.

Zone it up.
