    well, I've never claimed to be a lore nerd, but I'm pretty sure whole Titans are born within planets is rather new addition to the lore. Relatively speaking ofc, but I remember times when Sargeras was actually corrupted by demons, not the other way around.

    Orgrimmar Interceptor^ Alliance counterpart called Stormwind Skychaser, they're probably the Blizzcon bonuses this year? Maybe?

    The problem rises with not all Artifacts being equal in-lore. Someone stealing shite like Outlaw Rogue weapon isn't that big of a deal. But someone stealing (or just getting and then going lolevil because of the Class in question) Ulthalesh or Specter of Sargeras would wield godlike power while freeing the weapons from lore grey-zone that is them being wielded by the player. Though I suppose it could open up new enemies to explore for the future. People wielding the Artifacts would make for interesting boss fights.

    It's probably been hidden all along.
    Just think about what you just said for a second.

    How would any sunlight get to Azeroth if 80% of it is covered in cloud/fog/mist this dense?
    This fog shows up during the last part of the raid, hence the reason Illidan saying "We might have won, but look at the sky".

    The corpse is wherever the raid kills Lei-Shen. And the quest text outright talks about draining the room, through the dais, so I have no idea what you read. Reading just the last sentence and ignoring the context for it from all the other sentences is a terrible way to construct an argument.

    This was a beautiful way of putting it. Thank you for this.

    There's interesting stuff going on in Dalaran on 7.3 PTR. I originally saw this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comment...e_end_is_nigh/

    well, people turning crazy is to be expected when a massive green glowing space rock shows up out of nowhere, that is also the homebase of an army of greenish space demons.

    Would be funnier if it was related to that tauren tribe in Highmountain. Maybe one of them discovered that Deathwing really did return(but not that he was defeated).

    Not actually as bad as putting quotation marks on statements no one said ever.

    We definitely need to learn more from the Doomsayers speaking gibberish. Pretty sure they carry some deep thoughts inside those heads of theirs.

    I was always under the impression that it was Elune (Moon / Sun) that shone upon Azeroth, and I would assume she'd be inside it along with Azeroth, though nobody knows anything about her yet. We can't see it from Argus apparently.

    Also the fog is there during the entire raid, isn't it?

    The Magni quest/scenario that sends you to Sholazar Basin is very interesting. It appears the "heart" of the Azeroth world-soul is consumed by fears, doubts, and other torments who take on the appearance of void-like and familiar shapes:



    Eventually it coalesces into an elite mob, the "Amalgam of Torment" which uses one of the newer demon models from 7.3:



    This mob cycles through some very famous voiceover lines as the fight goes on: Yogg-Saron, Il'gynoth, Garrosh Hellscream (from his raid encounter), Archimonde (from the Hyjal raid) and finally C'Thun.



    All set to the background of Azeroth's erratic and ever-speeding heartbeat as the location you're in pulses with a red warning light and a number of klaxons.

    Also a confirmation the Titan is called Azeroth. It's deliberately called Azeroth.

    So we can stop with that Elune nonsense.

    Fighting the Amalgamation while it quoted all the Old Gods (Including Y'shaarj from the Garrosh encounter) was really creepy. I wish it was a bit harder, I burned through two quotes at once by killing it so fast.

    In all honesty, I believed that theory died already when we learnt of Elune's cosmic status given her role in the creation of the Prime Naaru. But I guess this sends on the axe even the most delusional resilient of faithfuls.

    the new elekks that were added in this patch... goddammit, why'd i have to make my paladin a blood elf again. ugh, this would have been perfect for her.

    oh well, i've got my priest back as a draenei.

    also, i wonder where they got their elekks. the mount page flavor text says that alleria and turalyon convinced the army that elekks were good and reliable creatures. maybe that's part of the reason they were on alternate draenor, picking up supplies and extra draenei forces.

    So that "Her heart is a crater and we have filled it" quote was definitely about Azeroth.

    While taking a tour around the Argus zones I felt really enamored of the high-quality skybox mattes they're using to provide an illusion of a vast world beyond the three questing zones - they're really quite clever and are probably the most detailed skybox textures done in the game thus far. I jumped off the edge of Argus and used the pan-zoom that death gives you as you slowly move outward to capture some screenshots. They're higher resolution than would be good to go in a post, and scaling them loses some of the exceptional detail, so I've put them into an Imgur gallery for consumption.
