    Yeah I think they confirmed she would be on the cover a while ago. I really do like the artwork there. Quality stuff.

    Tangible things like the dance studio and aerial combat? Oh, what about the path of the titans? Seriously, you missed the point to act indignant. What new features did every other expansion add that warrant getting upset about this one, to the point that half this thread is calling it a filler expansion and the next WoD? What new features would they need to add for this to not suck in your eyes?

    Is this going to be another raid or die expansion with nothing else to do? Are we going to sit in our garrisons all day because everything else is pointless? Do you even remember what made WoD unpopular or are you just repeating it sucked because everyone else does?

    People are already saying this is a filler expansion because stuff isn't done, but the same was true of artifacts and Mythic+ before Legion too. Remember how we had a mockup with Frostmourne getting self-raise dead? Or how Affliction's artifact ability was a new dot that ticked faster and faster? Remember how late M+ was implemented in the beta?

    So I ask again, what did you expect?

    How many of these are actual new gameplay systems though?

    M+ I already mentioned as good

    Class changes, professions, and world quests aren't new. They replace old content (and remaking specs isn't even content, and Legion professions really aren't either).

    Demon Hunters are new, but not everyone plays them so it doesn't keep people playing

    most of these things aren't really features that keep you playing. It's just reinventing the wheel to attract people with new shiny shit whoa it's different, then people leave because there's nothing to do if you aren't raiding or PvPing. M+ was a completely new gameplay type for the first time since vanilla.

    Islands and warfronts might too, who knows (personally they both sound boring to me, I don't really care for procedurally generated content). But they're something different to DO, though. They build the foundation for things that can be reused in future expansions, to make the game better longterm (like M+), and it's not just reinventing the wheel like revamping classes

    What I don't like is that we're not hearing anything about class changes, profession updates, new world gameplay design features and so on. It sounds to me like we're getting a few great changes with the level scaling and stat squish, but Ion himself said those aren't strictly expansion features but rather simply enhancements to the game. In terms of expansion features I'm pretty stuck at grinding Azerite on the Islands and fighting at the Warfronts.
    And doing World Quests that they won't delve into besides just "we'll learn from Legion."

    If Argus is any indication about learning from Legion, World Quests will be the SAME as Legion. Which, while good, still left something to be desired.

    At Gamescom they only showed concept art for transitions and artifact trees. That is one convention. At Blizzcon I think they only used it for transitions. Literally everything that isn't a hold over from Legion is concept here. Everything. They have no excuse to string us along with this 77 day bullshit in Legion and STILL have nothing to show.
    Suramar was concept art only. (I forget if just the city or whole zone)

    Also, honestly after this reveal I don’t think that’s a good measuring stick. They only had concept art for a BG releasing in ~2-3 months.

    I hope so as well, seems overly complicated and they don't seem to be knowing what they're doing with it themselves.

    That's it for me concerning tonight, I'm going to bed! Still excited for Kul Tiras and Zandalar which look gorgeous, battle of Lordaeron which look awesome and for allied races -not you void elves- to become playable! About the rest, well I guess I will see in due time and remain optimistic about it.

    Have a lovely night/day everybody!

    Actually. They said why they did for the BG. It was spoiler territory. They actually have that.

    It hasn't been said. Someone in my guild thinks Azshara will be behind the two factions waring with eachother.

    Yeah gonna say this, but all people that are complaining now will be hyped as f when this thing releases. WoW is in better hands now than it was around WoD, but I guess Internet is never satisfied and is entitled to the best

    I remember that optimism, used to have it.

    I have no reason to believe it, they outsource their art, so it's always done quickly anymore.

    The new azerite system is still in concept.

    The new warfronts are in concept.

    The islands are in concept.

    It's going to be august/september, I refuse to be optimistic and be let down, legion broke me. I was the most optimistic as ever, it literally broke my optimism on them getting xpacs quicker.


    What I DO think they've done well and are continuing to is content as a good pace, we're not going to have a huge drought, 7.3.5 will be in a few months, then maybe another small one after. So even if it does come in august/september, were going to have a very short gap.
