Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Shadochi]

Is putting an apostrophe in "Kul Tiras" some new sort of "Tauren Mill" thing? I don't recall there being an apostrophe in its name. Bit more of an Orc name thing isn't it?

Blizzard often spells it as "Kul'Tiras", but Kul Tiras seems to be the intended spelling.

you can spell it both ways.

We all know Nya'lotha is going to be the best continent.

Will owning BfA be required to make an allied race character? Because if yes, and 7.3.5 will contain some of the allied races (if the leak is correct), then we should see pre-purchase before 7.3.5 goes live.

Edited my mistake, but you get the idea.

Unless it's submerged, since then it wouldn't be a continent.

Wasn't 3.3.5 the last wrath patch? Don't see them updating Wrath unless on classic. /s

But it's been speculated that pre-orders are/were planned to start during 7.3.x since the CE mounts were probably added in 7.3.

The preorderds don't have to come out before 7.3.5. They can come a month later and that's when the races get unlocked (if the leak is true)

Here's hoping for something next week c:

Ny'alotha is going to be the Argus of BfA.

Nowhere does it say a Continent can't be entirely submerged, a continent is based on tectonic plates (which can entirely be under water) i know i'm nit-picking but it -would- be a continent :>

Continent in WoW is used completely different from the real world usage anyway. I somewhat doubt the Broken Isles are an entire continent, and the term wouldn't even make sense for Outland.

I mean if it was at some point an actual continent that ended up under water it would fit the description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submerged_continent

Since continents are extensive land masses. But then again, when has blizzard actually cared what words mean? If they can ship an expansion with only underwater zones, they'll call it a continent.

For outland it makes sense since outland derived from an actual continent. At least that's how I look at it.
If Africa all of a sudden flew into the sky, would we not call it a continent? I mean it's a large landmass above sea level...

It would be a large landmass above head level, so i'd just call it an "Ohcrap". Particularly since i wouldn't be very confident that it stays there.

Why are we still on this page? Elune damn. Seriously guys? I need more than two posts for my morning scroll.

[Valysar]

The hype will return this week

Things will pick up in a few days once the cinematic is out, along with 7.3.5 PTR I assume.

Ah yes, my 2015 gamescom hype train, so many good memories!

I feel like I'm going to be using that gif a lot over the next 3 years.

[Dracullus]

Ny'alotha is going to be the Argus of BfA.

I used to think that (I thought that Tel Abim, Plunder Isle and Kezan will be 8.0 zones along with Kul Tiras/Zandalar), but I think they'll save it for full Old Gods/Void expansion.

My guess is in final patch we will get something right in the middle between Kul Tiras and Zandalar, probably Nazjatar or some entrance to core of Azeroth. For middle tier we could explore Tel Abim (Isle of Giants style) and Plunder Isle (lighthearted pirate raid tier would be awesome).
