Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Ragnarocket]

WC1 would need to be quite literally remade to fit with actual lore; but I wouldn't be opposed. Personally WC3 was my favorite of the three but I'd enjoy any of them. A WC4 would be ideal, but I'm not sure we'll see it any time soon.

What exactly would WC4 look like though? That's always been my big issue. As long as WoW is running how does WC4 even become a thing?

World of Warcraft: The Wound

Hmm... needs some work. Gaping Wound? Oozing Wound?

World of Warcraft: The Pulsing Wound of Destruction

I suck at this.

And it would be the third time she's been heart in such a way.

"At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming"

1. The Shattering
2. The Cataclysm
3. The Wound.

We've had this talk earlier and actually Y'Shaarj being ripped out could be considered a death in itself (the Scouring). So: Scouring, Sundering, Shattering/Cataclysm, Wounding. She'd already up for her forth death.

Feali: transmog sets for Tailor Swyft outfits plus a music box roll.

The final update is going to be tomorrow, about 12 hours before the event.

(And after the event we will all laugh at our predictions.)

PS: Those who don't know which leak to pick, pick Cluemancer's. It's so cryptic that it can technically predict everything. (This is not a thumbs down for that leak, I quite like it myself. :-))

World of Warcraft: The Wound

Hmm... needs some work. Gaping Wound? Oozing Wound?

Sounds like Azeroth is getting her first period, rather than a WoW expansion...

[plz delete account]

But... it was Tychus who said that.

They have both said those same exact words

[Fluffernut]

Sounds like Azeroth is getting her first period, rather than a WoW expansion...

World of Warcraft: Azeroth becomes a WOMAN!

And it would be the third time she's been heart in such a way.

"At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming"

1. The Shattering
2. The Cataclysm
3. The Wound.

Except not really. I thought that too but:

1. The Scouring (Amanthul ripping out Y'shaarj)
and the rest you listed.

Cluemancer mentions the Serpent.

[lRemedyl]

Knew it!!
https://twitter.com/WatcherDev/status/926157016938070016

[RobertoCarlos]

Exactly. And the "Yes, yes, yes!" makes me think of Sara in the Yogg'Saron fight

That would make sense

[Arbs]

I have been looking for the Cluemancer one, Thanks

[EbaumsTipster]

If you want Cluemancer to be real you have to plug your ears and pretend the subrace information isn't real. No mention of Nightborne for starters, and Taunka instead of Highmountain.

World of Warcraft: Ouchie.

World of Warcraft: The Stabbening.

World of Warcraft: Titansblood

Name of the new expansion: you can try, but never guess
Summary:
• You will not have time to catch your breath. The black army has long been here, and you didn’t see it, lurking behind the burning shadow.
• The circle closed and the stars went out.
• Thank the lord of ravens for his gifts.
• Once he already lied.
• The king of diamonds blindly believes her words.
• The third death is coming.
• This is for my son!
• Her heart is a crater, and we have filled it. Yes, yes, yes!
• Do you think it's horrifying? This is just the beginning of your nightmares.
• We create new covenant, the better than Horde or Alliance.
• Her wrath is comparable to his, and they have common goals now. Only he does not know about it yet.
• They need a new Twilight Father. You know him pretty well, sir.
• My children are rushing from the depths.
• It was a mistake to entrust this thing to a pirate scum.
• I gave it to you for a great feat, but now I return it as my lady ordered.
• Stained-glass windows don’t lie. Never.
• Our strength is in the blood. And let us not leave their blessing in these dark days.
• The prophet would not have lied, right? Yes, no, I'm talking about another.
• What about a really big bad voodoo?
• His sacrifice was in vain. Alone, in the middle of a cold emptiness.
• I chose the Abyss. Will you follow me this time?
• Our revenge on their kind is not over. There are still two out of five.
• Mortals have the right to know the fate of one who was forged by fire.
• Someday I'll fall. Or already fell.
• My true strength is not in the army or the sword, but in the crown.
• All hands on deck! Hell... it's about time.
• Now you travel the sea, then to ascend to the sky.
• The Realm of Shadows is full of cries of pain. Your cry will join this choir.
• The serpent saw her. He's on his way.
• What can be purer and sweeter than the soul?

New playable race:
• It's an honor to receive the gift of wyrm skin from you.

Alliance:
• Draenei: stay with us, who forged by light.
• Dwarves: true iron is hidden in the darkness.
• Night elves: high bloodline - high responsibility.
• Others: it's only the beginning!
• Not all of us despise our children, and someday we will stand with them shoulder to shoulder.

Horde:
• Orcs: purity is the hope for redemption.
• Undead: not only the humans became Forsaken.
• Taurens: the winds of winter call us.
• Others: it's only the beginning!
• You are not the Horde without us.

Zones:
• Where did she go? Something is wrong.
• Our wisdom in these depths
• Praise the god of the depths!
• Where did the bananas go?
• Is it possible to lose what has already been lost?
• Let the Loa tell us the way.
• They say, it was a city under the city. But the deeper lies the more evil place.
• Where does the ruined way lead?
• Under the frozen ground, only death awaits you. Our brethren are also ready to meet you.
• Ny’alota is a fairy tale for fools.
• You were so close to touching the great. And you need to swim a little more.

Afterword:
• You'll never guess whether it's true or not, until you see for yourself.
• Don’t expect news in the near weeks.

I discounted this leak early on but honestly it does seem to align well with the little bit that we know for sure.

I think what killed it for me was Dragonkin as a new race. Now that actually works in its favor. It'd explain something I'd heard about from a reputable source.
