BfA Patch Speculation thread (8.3 and later).

[Ersula]

I'm pretty sure Argus was shown off before Blizzcon.

Just like 8.3 will likely hit the PTR before November. Which is why they're rushing 8.2.5

[Aeluron Lightsong]

They did it at Gamescon. The argus showoff(We sorta knew already we'd be going there but at that Gamescon...they went into detail about Argus).

[Gangreflamme]

So... If the patch goes live tomorrow at 3 pm PST does that mean that the description key will drop at the same time, or that at least one of the cinematic will be decryptable ? Or do players need to actually reach the cinematic to have the decryption key going off ?

Then the bluepost made some days ago was a blatant lie. Yes, it was just a CM but usually they don't step out with statements like that if they're untrue. The best would have been to just leave out the "Blizzcon" part and say we'd learn in the near future what BfA has in store yet he decided to say it'll be shown at Blizzcon.

We knew about Argus/7.3 at 2016's Blizzcon, three months after Legion's official release, long before Nighthold or even 7.2 were released.

No, no it doesn't. All they said is that we'd see the future of WoW at Blizzcon... not that we'd ONLY see the future of WoW in any shape or form at Blizzcon.

If I understood it right: no. Blizzard has to deliberately unlock that stuff when they want us to see it, e.g. could be tomorrow if they want so or in the next few weeks, depending on the pacing of the war campaign or if it's timegated or not.

Well, true to that:

As for what the future holds, stay tuned for BlizzCon!

The OP of that thread was speaking about BfA specifically and not about WoWs future in general. Might be too vague to be an absolute statement about it though, who knows.

I think he means to ask, will it be decrypted with launch of patch ? as in can it be uploaded to youtube ? or is it encrypted in a way that only can be seen ingame for those who are playing.

[Drekmar]

Is the Vol'jin spirit NPC in front of Orgrimmar gate new or what?

[MrExcelion]

One more day until Sylvanas gets what's coming to her

[Sondrelk]

One more day until Sylvanas gets what's coming to her

Probably more like 3-4 more weeks until she gets what is coming, but at least we are getting there soon.

And also Bee mount, cannot forget taht amazing bit of amazingness.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Or salt flowing. Either way salt will flow. Slightly nervous....

Dont matter, if its all encrypted with one key.

Can't til she kills Saurfang. Gonna be great.

[Sondrelk]

Pretty sure it can be encrypted with several keys, with one being unlocked each week.
But let's take that as it comes. Could be given all in one go for all we know.

Quoting marlamin:
Most of the story/map stuff uses the same key with the exception of the cinematics (if they're related).

Doubt this is going to be timegated. Would be terrible of Blizzard to do.

[Nagawithlegs]

If the Orgrimmar/Durotar map changes (with the models being used looking like blocks of rubble and torn apart cliffs) are tied to the hidden story quests I wonder if the finale really will be a part of Durotar being blown to pieces.

That is quite interesting. Guess we will see.

Worst case scenario the opening of the quests are timegated a couple of weeks, with only the Magni quests and teh amazing Bee mount grind to tide us over until then.

By the Alliance? I mean Sylvanas doesn't seem to be interested in destroying Durotar at all, does she?
