    On Vanilla sketch map Dragon Isles were raid next to peninsula north of Stratholme. I thin they may combine these two. Its last unexplored arena on in game map after Cata and waay to big to be just dungeon.

    I mean with both Emerald Nightmare and Nyalotha being served as raids and not proper zones we don't know what Blizzard is going to do with Dragon Isles... they are indeed a blank space and I really hope they make it a proper 5-zone-continent where each Dragonflight has its own zone. Yet I can totally see them making it one single zone in 9.1 or 9.2 or something like that.

    is why it make so good, much potential, just like mop and Draenor

    wod shenanigans aside, Draenor was great in terms of the continent, the zones were amazing and que leveling was cool like the spikes of arak, so sad that they cut if so so much features like the fungi whale world boss, and the ogre continent.

    that would be just the perfect scenario, something similar to nagrand where there re floating chunks of rock and water pouring, i can see gigantic landmasses with big waterfalls into the ocean, and not just 5 zones, i can see more, for other dragons like storm, or even the twilight/chromatic

    i can't get over the fact that they seems to not use crhomatus at all

    Horrific Visions sounds like beta testing for a feature mentioned in one of the leaks for the next expansion ("Awakenings") where a party of 3 without specific class roles could make timed "dungeons".

    It means we can't just let most of the current characters die of old age without producing offspring to contunie the story.
    We're running out of replaceable child-less leaders. Sooner or later, both Anduin and Tess Greymane will need to take care of some legacy unless they want the kingdoms of Stormwind and Gilneas go the way of council.

    The problem is that WoW, as it is now, is a poor medium to tell a story of positive affection.

    If the chinese "leak" is true, then it getting more strong, i mean,a shadowlands with greek theme would be cool, and would be a great selling point
    I've seen one Chinese leak
    The logo had the wrong word

    Don't see the shadowlands leak happening because it has been methodically destroyed

    Awakenings was already debunked so it means nothing.

    the leak don't need to be true, but shadowlands as a expansion can end up being true

    back then, there was a lot of leaks about southern seas, we end up getting those but the leaks were bullshit, until one i think days before blizzcon.

    now, we are getting lots of hints about either a dragon isles or "shadowlands" expansion

    and to be honest, if they didn't pull something entirely new unique not related to the current lore at all like MOP was, think we have some safe bets with the "possible" ones.

    on the top of my head i can think of:

    1- Dragon isles
    2- Shadowlands/black empire
    3- Return of draenor(with yrel and the light in general as antagonists)
    4- Return to northrend and the Lich king 2.0,or something related with the nerubian kingdom, or all of then in one
    5- An underground expansion, with the blingtron threat, apparently they are fighting a war that we know shit about it, this is the most plausible expansion for a tinker class
    6- Maaaaaybe the emerald dream/emerald nightmare expansion, even if very unlikely.
    7- We going to the moon/another world for some reason.

    i can't think about any other possible option for 9.0 if not those above, and the first 2 seems more likely with the current events in my opinion.
    If we go off of in game stuff then I'll place money on dragon isles
    Island expeditions are key my friends

    Pretty much this.

    With Blizzard tying up so many Island Expeditions hints, I would assume that stuff that doesn't get resolved is part of 9.0, like the Helya stuff or Dragon Isles.

    I'm currently going through the new whispers we got

    Pretty sure the 5 torches are the dragonflights
    5 torches now dim
    The flame they seek will light our path

    Also calia is mentioned as is queeny

    Sylvanas hinted at returning

    This leak guys, it has 8.3 basically 100% right....the 9.0 features and such he pushes as well look very conclusive to what the discussion is based around here with the world revamp coming. I am hoping this 9.0 leak is right as i want the features such as more dungeons, no ap grind and a talents and skill rewards back to the way it should be.

    However 8.3 is defo a start, i have not played the game since 8.2 when i grinded flying and basically stopped, then i logged in to do the beautiful end to the war campaign, but now i might be interested in trying again to play before 9.0. I am hyped for Blizzcon even though i think this 9.0 leak is pretty much it lol.

    He fails right off the bat with the heritage armor. We have had better "Asian haiku leaks" in this very thread lol :P

    I think the only one not really matching up is the one about getting more Windrunner sisters story. And maybe "worgen danger". I'm not sure what happens in the worgen heritage story, I heard it is just a dream. But all these things are easy to predict, so...

  15. #2395
    Well, forgetting 8.2.5 leak he did the 8.3 one is spot on and the 8.2.5 leak he just had the Tyranade revenge part wrong which is rumored to be a side story in next expansion now anyway. Then you have the heritage armor looks changed maybe but they came which people didn't think they would. But when 8.3 is literally word for word right you have to think he either is very good at guessing or there might be something into that.

    Man, this one is pretty cool, especially considering the stuff we learn about Azshara in Nyalotha this

    -Plans to bring Azshara back as an ally in the future.
    Was a spot on "likely enough" prediction. Was there any hints toward this before?

    I expect most of the 8.3 stuff to quickly turn out bullshit. The last point is already a bit iffy, but I wouldn't get hung up on it. Mostly the Sylvanas stuff will probably break it. She seems to be out of it for BfA.

    edit: also, it really ruins the "leak" that they claimed to be from the art team but then got the heritage armor so completely and utterly wrong. And no, the worgen heritage was never going to be "knight-like" in any shape or form so the whole "maybe they changed it" doesn't cut it.

    An enemy who tries to take over by making us love them too much to fight them, perhaps.

    Sounds like something the Light would try.

    Or perhaps this is hinting at Elune again. If she's a triple goddess, well, there's the Night Warrior and Mother Moon so far that I've heard her called.

    Dunno about any third aspect (though triple goddesses are a thing in real life), but an overbearing mother sounds like it might fit.

    I really want this to be true, it would be the perfect expansion to me for the most part.
