Reminds me of the Scarlet Monastery a bit just with more Gothic influences.

I guess I've been fortunate with my experiences all the way through Legion and BFA. Never been turned down for not min-maxing.

There is alot of room between looking up the standard builds or how well essences perform to know which one you shoudl go for next and simming your character every 5 minutes in case a new build has been found recently. Even more if you allow for the skill floor to be "I'm sure warriors can tank perfectly fine with 2h weapon and shield as fury".

But if you honestly have never attempted to pick the best fitting (even if it's just what you think it to be) essence/azerite trait/item piece for a situation and despite that regularily beat party content that poses at least some challenge, then yea, you have been lucky.

Natharia is one of the best looking raids they have done.

I can dig the Ventyr goth style, but I don't think I will ever get behind the necrolord style. It's pretty much the distilled essence of everything I don't like about WoW's art.

Theater of pain is great.

This feels like Naxx/Scourge nostalgia

Halls of Atonement looks to me like blue halls of valor, pretty gorgeous looking

I still don't get the Millhouse fight in De Other Side, the mechanical gnome area looks very out of place compared to the troll themed dungeon

Castle Nathria raid is looking pretty good.

My goodness it's looking so great. Man this alpha really delivered on the hype for me.

Best part about Castle Nathria is that it's going to be 10 bosses so we will be spending a lot of time in there

[SLNC]

Art team knocking it out of the park for sure.

As a huge HUGE fan of Netflix's Castlevania, I approve of this.
Had completely forgotten about the launch raid theme, guessing I was too focused on leveling changes and Covenants...

I mean there is also an ardenweald styled zone in the dungeon. I think it's supposed to be some kind of bridge or in-between area. Though I also wonder how exactly the mechanical stuff got there..

When Blizzard goes into more new things or at least a new perspective of Warcraft, they really know how to sell fantasy.

Yeah, they're doing amazing things with this newfound artistic freedom.

[Queen of Hamsters]

My only issue with Theater of pain and Plaguelands is that they are a pretty big part of the zone itself. I do wonder if they will be accessible in the overworld and not just as an instanced area.

I think it would be a waste of amazing space if they weren't accessible that way... :O
Someone needs to get on finding that out pronto!

It's like a mix between kara and Suramar.

Absolutely loving it.

wowhead showed the female troll deep green color, that is forest troll color

I saw that. They always organize their posts in sections. I double checked the post and the "skin tone" section. All that's shown is a newer shade of blue, the dark blue for Dark Trolls, and the light brown for Sand Trolls. I don't think they'd forget to show a new skin tone. The females in the post do have green skin, but even Wowhead admitted that customization datamining was difficult.

I'll stay optimistic, but I'll believe it when we actually see it... which I hope will be in a future build.

Has anyone brought up how Denathrius is the only Venthyr with horns and hooves?



He's even using the Draenei rig... because hooves.
