Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Wildmoon]

This pre-announcement excitement never gets old and I haven't been playing since EN raid. I am just listening to WoW musics right now lol.

[Smokinya]

Even if it's fake. It's well done enough for me to be alright with being fooled.

Same here. If this is a fake I will be completely and utterly shocked.

[Underbottom]

Looks like Hearthstone art.

The Ion tweet is pretty funny as well. It means they're keeping up with the thread as best they can.

Oh christ, what if that Tel'abar leak is legit? Remember it said that Kul'tiras engages in trade with Tel'abim..

[Ateo]

Guys this has been fun and this is the last time I’ll be looking at this thread as I’m having a blizzcon viewing party tomorrow night(me and friends work and weren’t able to get tickets this year so we’re doing. Media black out to avoid truly spoiling the reveal. Just wanted to say thanks for the hours of entertainment and looking forward to 9.0 thread!

[TheEaterofSouls]

Not sure if Tel'Abim will be a massive part of the expansion. From what I'm getting from this scene here, there will be references to it as a shout out to the speculators / fans. The focus isn't on the bananas, just a nice little Easter Egg while we get a scene of Kul'Tiras Mariners loading a ship?

I'm nearly 90% sure this image is from the hearthstone expansion. Anything with Tel'abim and banana's is related to that nat pagel thing. The tortolla pet is probably a promotion between wow and hearthstone to promote this hearthstone expansion

For the Mythic difficulty speculation.

What's the importance of this scene? Is it a plot moment we're seeing, a zone shot, or perhaps a city?

No. Some leaks are too dumb to be real.

Got about an hour left before I sleep and then


MORNING PREP FOR BLIZZCON


<.< Lost my composure for a sec.

Either an in-game cutscene of something happening to Kul'tiras, or a "Kul'tiras" zone part of the video.

Looks like Hearthstone art.

How on Earth is that anything like Hearthstone art. You'd never get a card that zoomed in and additionally they wouldn't create a scene like that for it. It makes no sense if its a Hearthstone card art.

[TheEaterofSouls]

Has Hearthstone ever used in-game assets for card art before?

the banana's and crates style look like something youd see in a hearthstone trailer.

[rcshaggy]

Someone already made the armor set...
Really wondering if they will have the Kul Tiras Humans be available to you?

Yep he is definitely monitoring the thread right now

It's not card art, it part of the hearthstone trailer with nat pagel, bananas and monkeys, and a tropical setting

[Deleted]

It's Hearthstone art.

"Tel'abim Bananas

4 mana spell"

That's all I can say for now. You'll see for yourselves soon enough.

[Gangreflamme]

I've never been so excited over the idea of a soldier carrying a box of bananas.

lol. Me too.

[Amnaught]

Not necessarily because well Wrath leading into Cata didn't really speak of well what happened at the end of Wrath.

The end of Wrath had already happened when it came time to announce Cataclysm, and sinve MoP-WoD theyve had a pretty strong theme of letting each expansion spill over into the next

That's so hype.
