    Will players finally care about the Jailer? Will more people jump ship or will 9.1 will be enough to bring back those who left?

    Are Arms Warriors still faceroll overpowered?
  1. s0ul's Avatar
    let me guess, we still won't know why Sylvanas is doing what she's doing or what happens to her after the boss fight. Maybe we'll find out next expansion if we're lucky.

    Ridiculous patch not many are excited for. Blizzard needs a new team.

    Hey, somebody know how is the Valor -> Gold conversion rate?
  1. Cyram's Avatar
    Fun.

    So... will we be getting a covenant campaign along with this or did they just fuse the story into one as to cut yet another corner of content? Or are we getting the main campaign AND the covenant campaigns?

    Doesn't bi-weekly mean "once every 2 weeks", not "2 times per week"?
