    Having it in-game or from a Google window. Which to choose... Not to mention the addons literally guiding people as they quest, available for Classic and Live alike.

    You're free to either play Classic or not make use of the tools available if it's that important to you, although nothing can be done to erase knowledge.

    Hmmmmmmm

    Didn't the Shadowland leak, the good one say that 8.3 will come very shortly before next expansion because of the big changes to the story and world? If BfAs story as in War Campaign is done in 8.2.5, that could incline that there might be something to it. If the story in 8.3 really belong to the next expansion so to speak.


    Or there is just a "thrilling" end to it. Take your pick I guess.

    Thrilling conclusion? Does that mean no 8.3 or 8.3 will have nothing to do with the faction war? Or just conclusion to the war campaign QUESTLINE?

    Well yeah, classic is the antithesis to retail. So what? Play what you want.

    Nazjatar sets up the story beyond the War Campaign for 8.3. It means a conclusion to the War Campaign, meanwhile BfA's got other storylines still ongoing.

    So what does that mean, N'zoth confirmed for 8.3? Seems too soon to face Azshara again.

    wowhead say hi
    questing addon also say hi

    They're just adding a minor feature to reduce the usage of wowhead/addon.

    Looks like they improved the models more such as fem worgen eyes.

    Who says we'll have to face Azshara again in 8.3? It's up in the air though, nobody knows now that they've confirmed the conclusion to the faction war campaign to come in 8.2.5. :3

    I'll take it, means I'll look forward to 8.3 even more! Maybe we'll face Azeroth herself in 8.3, or the dark horse no one is talking about much, Magni Bronzebeard.

Now, it will just say "Turn-in in Winterspring."
    Indeed.

    I'll be using the new feature, the damned "go here and there and then there and back here and return to there and loop around to here and jump into that"-string has been annoying AF.

    *sigh*

    If 8.2.5 was the literal end of the expansion, it would've been marketed as the final patch. And if that had been the case, it would've been far more likely that they would've delayed 8.2 by a lot and have the features of 8.2.5 released with it rather than now, at which point they're following the release schedule of Legion.

    There will be an 8.3. And still, I bet we'll see this exact same void-of-logic-reasoning being thrown around for 9.0 and beyond too.
