9.0 General Discussion

[Georg Von Vitzthum]

No, we got that with most of BFA and WoD and see where that took us. The expansions that do the best are the ones that follow the material we already know.
As for races, if they plan to add another disgusting furry race, then I don't want to see it. It's about time we get one with scales, be it a Naga, Sethrak or Vaurok, would make it a bit more unique than the current shit we have.

are vaurok a race?

[DeathsAdvance]

I don't believe any leak that says Bolvar will come back being evil. Blizzard has clearly defined him as a Neutral Evil.

Mage wants Felo'melorn? They can have it, Bolvar wont stop them, but if they die, he will claim their soul.

Legion is threatening the world? Forge The Ebonblade a potent new weapon to stop them.

Sylvanas is threatening the balance of death? Time to wake up and smack her into the pavement.

He is trying to be their jailor

I guarantee you there won't be two Nerubian zones. Are you high?

One cavern zone and one large city (the kingdom) inspired by wrath dungeons

[Zexaniro]

Jericho is either the most unhinged troll ever or it's the dragon isles expansion he was hinting at all throughout his 'leaks'. I'm more inclined to believe that it's the former.

Since leak season is almost over, I thought I'd put together some stats from the spreadsheet just for fun. I'm also thinking of making a Google Form either tomorrow or on Friday for people to vote on which leak was their favorite (although we already know it's Wrath of the Bolvar).

It's so obvious I'm surprised people still leak otherwise.

[Firefox72]

Anyone else hope next expac is the next MoP.

All new lore, all new lands, all new races

Yes, so much yes for this.

I was one of the people that loved the aesthetics of MoP and even though Pandas are not for me i wasn't really against them. It was certainly a breath of fresh air after having 3 expansions focused on prominent and known people in the Warcraft lore.

I really hope the new expansion has some new stuff and isn't just Northrend 2.0

[Hitei]

Pretty sure they said that Allied races would be a thing from BFA into the future.

They said it was a system they keep adding to when it made sense. so I'd expect to see maybe 0-4 per expansion.

so the concensus is jack shit happens in the expansion. Sounds about right for a bunch of fakee.

[Renley]

are vaurok a race?

Think they meant Saurok?

[Shadochi]

He is trying to be their jailor



One cavern zone and one large city (the kingdom) inspired by wrath dungeons

And whats next? Bolvar rounding up remaining demons?

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Jericho is either the most unhinged troll ever or it's the dragon isles expansion he was hinting at all throughout his 'leaks'. I'm more inclined to believe that it's the former.

If he's wrong, then his credibility is dead in the water.

In other words, WoD 2.0.

[FlubberPuddy]

I am really really really curious what happens if it isnt a Shadowlands expansion or anything being thought off at the moment.

This thread will explode. With bad and good reactions i reckon.

Honestly I'll probably like whatever is shown. This hype is just amazing and usually there's something to like in reveals.

Although I'm always #teamTHEBOLVAR

Interesting how the only thing to get a definite yes is the part blizzard mentioned...

[letssee]

We're treading the longest 48 hours of 2019 until Friday.

omg yes, im just like cmoooooooooooooooon

[Fahrad Wagner]

Hi guys! Did I miss anything today? I'm gonna catch up Chickat-style with the last 100 pages.

[C-LO1979]

Wow: Shadowlands is the expansion
No new class (sorry)
Bolvar returns thinking he can enslave remaining old god forces by using saronite.
Sylvanas has similar goals.
Plot A is shadowlands seeping into azeroth after Sylvanas' confrontation with Bolvar.
Northren revamp for leveling with removal of some zones and addition of 2 Nerubian zones (launch raid also), other continents in patches
2 shadowlands zones for max level planned at launch, one is new dragonflight that contains powers of the main five (Silver Oasis), other is a massive arabic desert surrounding the oasis (Eternal Wastes - biggest zone yet "endless", venturing far into the desert grants fatigue and continuing causes souls to attack and kill you) with suramar type storyline of helping the inhabitants of shadowlands free their city from Hely's forces (Death's advance)
Plot B is dragon, with the new star dragonflight from the shop mount helping the flights regain aspect powers
no dragon isles at launch, part of EK revamp later on.
Level squish delayed after world revamp.

the most realistic (and depressing) leak tbh. Fully on the no class train, which will be completely baffling after BFA (and I dont just mean after BFA not having a class, but after BFA being what it was)

Cringeworthy debates.

[deviantcultist]

Hoped the trademark would surface by now, but apparently we will have to wait still.

[spleen1015]

When folks are hoping for new races with the expansion, what are they hoping for? BfA gave us 10 new races.
