#1 Hype-Thread Shitposter - Overlord of the Hypethread
I think where it'll fail is raiders will feel forced to hit--and stay at--certain Corruption breakpoints at different points in time, so they'll end up bitching that they need to fill up their bags with gear, and that they can't get the specific Corruption levels they need on certain items.
It became clear that it wasn’t realistic to try to get the audience back to being more hardcore, as it had been in the past. -- Tom Chilton
This is what I was talking about in my previous post. So basically, unless the "leak" you saw was months ago, I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
I'd like to see more of Bolvar and Wrathion in 9.0. It would be cool seeing Dragon Isles, I've got enough of the Old Gods/Burning Legion. I don't want dragonball like attacks, being empowered by some titans or whatever.
But I also look forward to see Sylvanas realize the human potential of the Anduin. She'll at long last understand that he's no longer a boy-king, but became a MAN.
What do you think of this leak?
It went completely under the radar for me but I found it as I was googling for something else. It was closed for being a "duplicate" but I couldn't even find the original. They got some details about 8.2.5 and 8.3 right, while other details were... horribly wrong.
The whole bit about Sylvanas working with N'Zoth seems so wrong when you consider that Death and Void are at odds with each other. It makes zero sense.
I seriously hope the next expansion isn't just Northrend with new graphics.
I was never a huge fan of tier sets, but you have to admit they were removed out of laziness more than anything else.
Laziness instance no. 1: Not wanting to put effort into balancing them.
Laziness instance no. 2: Not wanting to design sets for each class.
I wouldn't point out either if Azerite had been a resounding success, or if the design on the sets from the current raids was smashing, but they failed in both instances. (Especially in the gear design, which they said would improve if they didn't have to spend time on a theme for each class)
You're really stretching what's there. They didn't, not even close.
They bet on a completely different horse, both regarding Sylvanas fate and background as well as that Void&Light will reoccur as themes. They were wrong. Those are not things that were "up in the air" in july.
This one barely got lucky in getting some things right without having to bend and stretch things to fit.
