9.0 General Discussion

I do agree that Sylvanas have the "Guldan" vibe of this expansion.

Though i wonder what she means by "free us all"

In her mind, death is the only way, she wants to free us all of the living world and feed more her master

I haven't been watching much, but when I did tune in he was more focused on streaming and stood in several big bad frontals. Likely still harder, but maybe not by such a large margin.

I was going to say just "difficult" but I realized that would be received bad so I said harder than BFA.

Which is still probably easy, but not piss easy.

It'll be no Classic Hard, that's for sure.

Am I missing something? it says that there are no WoW panels today, instead the OW panel is the one after Diablo's

There is another panel that will happen alongside overwatch time

WoW what's next is after Overwatch's panel.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

This is what vrykuls looked like in the Wrath of the Lich King Alpha. Sometimes they have temporary "in progress models" before the actual ones are done. SO, those are probably placeholder models.

lol hahaha LOL hahahaha made me LOL SO FUCKIN HARD

I'm seeing one in roughly 1 hour 20?

[Rob Haywood]

I've heard the WoW panel will be watchable even for viewers without the ticket. Is that true?

[Eurhetemec]

I saw that the Kyrians use either the Vrykul or a skinnier Kul Tiran rig, but who else?

The Night Fey use the Draenei rig.

"One from Covenants" is great because we all know our Covenant bonuses are going away after Shadowlands. It's just Artifacts by a new name.

If we get more general abiltiies that means more abilities that will not go away after Shadowlands.

In before we get:

M+ groups wanting:
2x Covenant 1
2x Covenant 2
1x Covenant 3.

Play covenant 4 as any role or class? too bad it doesnt work well in our group composition or something similar like that.

Or we end up playing a lot of the same covenant because it is so great for all your activities

Vrykul models have always looked derpy AF. Never saw why people liked them.

They remind me of a race from Allods Online Anno 2010 or something like that. They look very low ok details and features.

[razorpax]

sooooo

feature trailer was legitimately bare bones

no new class
no new specs

character progression is essentially RENTAL ABILITIES AGAIN!!!!

theres no choice with covenants because BiS exists
some abilities will be shit some will be great

also just for the people with virtual tickets
overwatch demo
hearthstone demo
diablo demo
reforged demo
wow....nothing at all

cheap base expansion
double price because of a pet an illusion a mount and transmog...oh plus hearthstone

and the mog looks like uldir leveling

[Caerule]

Well, I was wrong about the name. I'm not so petty I wouldn't admit when I am.

As for the expansion, this definitely has me most excited:

Improved Character Customization Options: A host of new appearance options for all races will be made available to players when they create new World of Warcraft characters (or alter existing ones at the in-game barber shop).

Oh so all that stuff Lapi just dead was just to join your Covenant.

The first Kyrian ability is basically an enhanced fade. Reduces aggro it looked like, increases movement speed, and makes you harder to detect for a short time.

[HailArthas]

He ain't dead, he's gonna get her don't worry

No one will get Sylvanas, all her "omg waifuuuuuu i <3 u" fans would cry too much.

[Nyel]

They also look very unfinished. Like what are those 2004 faces

Yeah exactly, you perfectly described it. They look so so so outdated. Hope this is a very early alpha version.

I mean if you want perfect balance you should be advocating for more pruning. All the game needs for perfect balance is one glowing button that does 100 damage, 100 heaing, or 100 threat.

[Archmage Xaxxas]

So the level squish is 120 onward.

You level 1-120, then you get squished to 50 to level to 60.

hurrrrray?

[Marlamin]

It is by definition pre-alpha.

[Explicit Teemo Nudes]

Well, it is canon. Sorry

Also, how can you pretend to be a sensible person and say that is dumb, but Sylvanas beating the Lich King isn't?

I don't care that much because I've never been a huge Lich King fan, and I know it's just to make her a more captivating raid boss mid expansion - but it still doesn't make much sense.

Why doesn't it make sense Sylvanas, empowered by death, can't destroy the fucking Lich King? He is most likely much weaker than Arthas was as the Lich King, and Arthas died.

[Relan]

what is up with the gear store? no new merch?
