We might still get a blog post or something.

I'm hoping for some datamining this week and alpha next.

[Revamp Man]

This is correct no Alpha this week. AS I been saying since last week.

Then what’s with “alpha watch”

Like when do you think we get it

Son of a gun I believed you.

-Edit- Son of a gun an encrypted build again. Alpha next week?

Something's happening now, I can feel it in me bones

Do you think we'll get anything dataminable soon?

[Nathanyel]

I could see Kyrian for tanking, Venthyr for dps (spellcasting?) , Necrolords for physical dps/ maybe also a 'pet spec?' (they'd have an undead pet), and Night Fae for healing. Not sure if they'd make it a Hero class, maybe no because we have DKs?

Nah, I'd say...
Kyrian: healer spec - there are three nature-based healers (Night Fae would make the fourth) but only two light-based
Necrolords: tanks with maybe a shield - dangerously close to either Warrior or DK though
Venthyr: summon-based melee/caster a.k.a. standard Necromancer - no perma-pet though, only timed summons
Night Fae: another DPS caster, if that can be realized without making it too close to Balance Druid.

All in all quite close to existing classes, so, fun to speculate, but highly unlikely.

they are just lazing off "homeworking"

Well you certainly look like exactly the person that would say that.

I know its not the same genre of games but what of the 7th for alpha? VALORANT launching their closed beta.

That's only related to WoW on a meta level (Riot made LoL which is a Dota clone which started as a WC3 mod) so...
However, there's always something - I strongly doubt they'd plan a minor/medium 'publication' (which a datamineable build would be) around other publishers' stuff, especially as it's increasingly likely that Corona delayed that publication already.

Really hope not, looks and sounds genuine. If it actually is an April fools joke then I guess Germans really do not have a sense of humour.

Not to say it was a good one, but do people not enjoy subtle humor anymore?
The timing and mere mention of 8.3.5 make clear it's a fake, a joke, but no, some people rather go "it's lame because it's cool stuff I want, and Blizz is bad for not giving me the cool stuff I want".

Monday woukd be the earliest we see it. After that Alpha is whenever devs wanna bring up the servers. I think from BFA first data mining to playing was 5 days, I don't expect it to be 5 days.

I do enjoy subtle humor, the problem i had with teh Vanion article though was that there was absolutely no sense of humor in it. It just said reasonable stuff, then said April fools at the end.
Sure, i did want some of the stuff mentioned, mostly getting more transmog sets from the Service medal vendor, but there was nothing in it that made me disappointed when it wasnt true.

I likened it to asking your mother what is for dinner, she says something boring and standard, then declares and April fools.
Sure, most people would be fooled by it, but not because people are gullible, but because nothing about the statement was that far fetched.
In cases like that it would be funnier if you were told that the house was out of food, and that you should check the fridge. Or that you won the lottery and are going to go to a fast food place you enjoy.
In both those cases the humor derives from the inherent absurdity of what is being said, which means that when someone believes it, it is funny. If someone just says something perfectly reasonable and not that out of ordinary then the humor is lost, because there was no reason that you shouldnt have believed it.


There was also the small niggle, which i don't particularily care about. That they used Covid-19 as an excuse for why an 8.3.5 would be reasonable. Which regardless of it being what everyone would normally asume, is still sort of in bad taste.

damn what???????

As clueless as always, towelboy.

Now the big question is do you think we’re going to see the expansion lunch before Christmas

Hopefully they don't let it stew that long. It'd all turn into one grey mass.

I mean do you have to figure that production is definitely negatively affected by the virus situation and it’s not like it’s going to clear up in a week we have a couple months at minimum to still deal with this possibly longer
