Some SPOILERS about New Expansion from a chinese forum

[Vanessa VanCleef]

My point was She is using Spells known to only Death Knights this is in the Wiki.
Thats what i was trying to say

That doesn't make her a Death Knight.

[yetgdhfgh]

Stuff we discovered so far (try and link them to the riddles yourself):
-Gul'dan, Sylvanas, Tyr, Azshara, Vol'jin, Tomb of Sargeras
-A new class with 3 dps specs probably.
-Probably a garrison boat
-New Horde warchief.

rest is vague and subject to speculations.

Keep in mind this is all speculation as long as you trust the leak to be true, which might not be.

oh wow this sounds intriguing thanks for the info

[Azalar]

DKs are basically necromancer warriors..

That's like saying that Paladins and Priests are the same. They use a different approach of a similar school of magic. That's all.

Doesn't necessarily have to do with a class. As someone else said: there are currently 11 battlegrounds in game. "wining 11 is good, but old" might imply a 12th battleground.


But yeah, I don't know what the "me no tank, heal me" would mean then.

What defines a death knight then?

Roughly combining this leak and the other Chinese picture leak:


Gul'dan comes through the twisting nether to MU Azeroth, we also come home. He goes to the tomb of Sargeras to attempt to summon the legion to Azeroth, there he presumably meets Azshara who is also interested in getting the Legion to Azeroth to free N'zoth and wipe the world clean of the races she views as filth. She and the Naga, with N'zoth's forces, begin their attack on the world.

At the same time, The last Zandalari return, possibly looking for shelter Vol'jin steps down from being warchief of the Horde in order to lead them (maybe combining with the dark spear?). Someone else who is not Thrall becomes warchief. Sylvanas is not happy with this choice. Up in the north she has gone on the offensive against WPL, Gilneas, etc. She is determined to take full control of Lordaeron. Tirion Fordring, obviously opposed to this, reforms the Silver Hand to hold her back, Tyr, the last titan guardian awakens and joins the Silver HAnd's fight.

Illidan also returns from the twisting nether to train a new generation of Demon Hunters to fight the coming legion threat (A new class). Alleria and Turalyon return with him.

We attack the tomb of sargeras, killing Gul'dan (A raid). presumably leaving Azshara and N'zoth as the main villains of the rest of the expansion, while the conflict between the Silver Hand and Forsaken goes on in the North (possibly ending up on the shores of Northrend).

Looked logical except the Tirion Fordring part. The Argent Crusade is a forever neutral faction and has to remain neutral as it's what's keeping the many races in it united. The moment The Argent Crusade starts taking action against a major faction, is the moment it disintegrates. It can't take action against Sylvanas because that means attacking the Horde and all the Horde races in the Argent Crusade will not be agreeing with that.

Sylvanas was a banshee, found her body and then became a dark ranger.

What defines a death knight then?

Do the Death Knight starter zone.

[Hitei]

What defines a death knight then?

A runeblade, plate armor, and melee type character focused on empowered strength.
Other features including manipulating magical diseases, and using your frozen blood to unleash frost attacks and freeze the ground on which you stand.
i.e. being a Knight with a runeblade.

[hotdogkebab69]

Do the Death Knight starter zone.

That doesn't help your case.

[Paula Deen]

Wow nearly 200 pages and i still cant fathom what the original poster was on about

can i get any cliff notes to any worth while info in this thread?

Lots of working theories, but here is what I personally think it all means.

Day 0
Welcome, my old friends, how's Nexus?
...ehh, anyone knows this lady?
This is, by far, one of the hardest things on this list to answer. I do not know.

Day 1
Wining eleven is good, but old.
New Class, Leakmonkey has outright said it is Demon Hunter in this thread.

Day 2
Black gate is merely a setback!
Gul'dan is not dead.

Day 3
You have gained a new title: Warchief of the Horde.
See Day 7

Day 4
The last of Titan guardians.
Tyr is the last, and missing, Titan Guardian from Northrend.

Day 5
Sliver Hand returns, yeah Sliver. (maybe 'Silver' ?)
The Silver Hand returns. Could also be referring to the fact that only a few Silver Hand will return, making it a small group.

----------------------------
Day 6
Yes you have gained a new title.
See Day 7

Day 7
Or maybe another title, different yet same.
This is either saying we are leaders of our respective factions now, figureheads (The Queen of England kinda deal), or it is saying we make our own faction.

Day 8
Tomb raider.
One of the only obvious ones: Tomb of Sargeras.

Day 9
Dead island.
I think it refers to Cross Island, could refer to a large number of islands throughout the game, if we assume Northrend could be an island, based on the fact that it is in the ocean, it could be Northrend.

------------------
Day 10
Oh my little Tastingo - friendship is magic.
Trolls forming a partnership, Vol'jin forming a partnership. Leakmonkey has hinted there is not many trolls in this expansion

Day 11
Age of footman is over.
Boats are coming, Mounted Combat is coming, Flying Combat is coming, or it literally means the Age of Mortals is over. I am going with Mounted Combat.

Day 12
Me no tank, heal me!
Leak Monkey at one pointed directed us to a post he made about this being related to possibly a new PvE Mode, he has taken that post down. I think it is Caravan or Ship Escorts ala GW2 and every other MMO worth a damn.

---------------------
Day 14
Attack on titAn.
An attack on a Titan, Titan Guardian, or something otherwise related to an attack involving a Titan, it could also be referring to the Wall System present within the show/manga, which would lead me to Gilneas, although the Wall there is not exactly still standing. Could also be the wall near Arathi, but it is in the same state as the one near Gilneas.

Day 15
Why is Thrall green?
Demons are present in this expansion

Day 16
I have no time for games, paladins.
Sylvanas being a bitch

---------------------
Day 17
Yeah CoG is an expansion name.
Council of Glades is the name for something that is an expansion.

Day 18
Remember what happened when corgi was unleashed.
This could be referring to the fact that CoG is a fake like Corgi's Unleashed OR it could be trying to get us to read the joke summary of the "Expansion" which includes the phrase, "an ancient evil awakens"

Day 19
Nobody has seen Alleria and Turalyon...oh wait.
Alleria and Turalyon are back presumably

---------------------
Day 20
Sargeras, we had a pact!
Gul'dan seeing the writing on the walls (literally) before his MU-self died

Day 21
Jailor awakens.
Tyr or Bolvar Awakens

Day 22
You defeated Gul'dan. Do you want to continue?
He dies.

[Vanessa VanCleef]

Maybe this is all a hint.

The next expansion will be about Sylvanas going berzerk, because people think she's a Death Knight.

No but combined with the "me no tank, heal me" it would imply a class with 3 dps specs. And when asked about it in previous posts, the guy who made the riddles (Leakmonkey) pretty much stated it was a class. It should be in the first couple of pages in this thread since it's the first 3 riddles.

[Deleted]

That's like saying that Paladins and Priests are the same. They use a different approach of a similar school of magic. That's all.

In fact, the paladin is a plate wearing priest AND a light welding warriors. They were trained at northshire abbey by alonsus faol, and the first were cleric from there.

About the DK. They only share the powers, but they are not necromancers. They need the runeblades, necromancers are death mages.

[yetgdhfgh]

/snip/

Thanks for that

[Soulwind]

Warlocks aren't even close to Death Knights. If anything they are a mix between warriors and necromancers, but even that is only a vague description of what they are.

Warlocks are fel mages. Lorewise they have enough knowledge of the arcane to switch to the fel magic, ingame they don't have any arcane spells for class identity.

Death knights are anti-paladins, champions created by the Scourge. Raising the dead is something most don't seem to do lorewise, the class introduced some necromancer abilities because there wasn't going to be a necromancer anyway, but otherwise they're mostly melee with a bit of Scourge flavor.

Looks like WotLK 2.0:

Gul'dan & Lich Queen (Ner'zhul) Sylvanas vs. The Silver Hand.

"i shall be jailor of the damned"

Azshara had a pact with Sargares.

Also lol @ ppl trying to categorize wow characters into available wow classes ignoring the fact that there are dozens of minor and unrepresented classes in warcraft universe.

Yep, time to build a coliseum where the champions of Light can kill eachother because reasons.

I can believe another undead xpac tbh and im sure blizz will want to milk wrath nostalgia as much as they can
