So the new books have a spoiler about Sylvanas and her soul being fragmented

That’s a cop out

“Oh this character isn’t actually evil it’s just a fragment of her” that’s on par with Danny writing though

[Dracullus]

Called what?? I mean it’s confirmed that the story they have right now has no small raid

Kinda obvious when first and second raid both have 10 bosses. In Legion EN + ToV + NH had 20, in BfA Uldir + BoD + Crucible had 19.

Not entirely unexpected

Sometimes mini raids are fine but I'm not the biggest fan of the ones used but thats just me.

[Nagawithlegs]

More content =/= better content. BFA is prime example of this. 3 raids by 9.1 and people hated 2/3.

I know
Apparently there’s gonna be a small raid for light and void though

Because you know...he called it

Personally I was ok with uldir lol

When you dig enough you won't find scrap of content that isn't hated by someone. Core of game - raids, dungeons, zones are always solid in WoW. Last time (imo) they made really bad raid was Dragon Soul 10 years ago.

In BfA I wouldn't say any (core) content was bad, but many were wasted - some people haven't really touched 50% of questing, zones were crowded with side questlines no one cared about, Crucible of Storms launched in weird time.

1) What a useless reply, I couldn't have known back then.

2) Instead of denigrating and harassing others because they didn't get one prediction right, go make your own predictions.

[TheFirstOnes]

Damn, so the chick who wasn’t going to die in the second raid isn’t going to die? Crazy, I know.

[therumblings]

Unfortunate, seems like 9.2 is the final patch after all. I really wish we had a Drust raid.

Saw it coming from miles away the moment we saw Uther's soul being split. Had false hopes that they wouldn't be so cheap about it, but I mean.. it's the WoW writing team, so one shouldn't really expect any better at all.

That only makes her have a split soul. The part we're dealing with is still evil, and for all we know, the other fragment may also be.

The Drust threat is apparently gone by the time 9.1 happens. The only worry now is about the WQ, Elune, and the realms of Life, which is likely going to be touched upon next patch with that Female Dreadlord.

You: it’s obviously going to be this. Look I called it already

Me: you didn’t

You: y u so mean?

Don’t throw stones from a glass house. Also I have made predictions mainly 9.1 release in early July
Eonar being Elune
10.0 being dragon isles based on what 9.2 is
9.2 being us going on the defensive

Do you know what those have in common?? I don’t shit on other people’s predictions claiming mine are super duper accurate because of a battle net avatar

Highly doubt Danuser let’s his precious elf fantasy be actually evil

“Her emotions were stripped with each death until only the part willing to sacrifice everything for their goals” say hello to a ripped off character

[Nyel]

Legion did fix alot of the absoleute garbage that was WoD's god aweful loopholes of lore, but it left a few of its own to fix in the process.

BFA was just knockoff MoP 3 expansions later, and Shadowlands is knockoff WoD, they literally ran out of new ideas.

I do think so as well. It's weird but Shadowlands really feels like WoD in many things when it comes to lore (and that's not a good thing).

This is basically what Taliesin suspected in his video two weeks ago on how Blizzard is going to redeem Sylvanas...

You posted that three days ago. What new information is there that you supposed it happens on Sunday and now say "you couldn't have known back then"?

Btw, saying 9.1 is dropping soon is very disingenuous. Soon means within the next 3-4 weeks for me and that's not going to happen at all with TBC launch June 1. Unless Blizzard once again wants to sh*t on the playerbase and release TBC and 9.1 at the same time, something Ion said they won't do just two weeks ago. So how is end of June / early July "soon" in any way?

In regards to the Drust theories, I think Drust has a strong enough visual theme to maybe work for an expansion rather than just a patch - but it hasn't been established to be a large enough threat yet. The style can be put onto nearly anything to transform it into that thorny death-life style. Especially in an expansion about Life, it would seem prudent there would be a relevant threat for it, and given that we've already dealt with Void and the Nightmare quite recently, if anything if Drust were to be just patch filler it would make sense that they would do it in a Life-themed expansion rather than a Death themed one imo.

Drust to me seems more closely tied to Life primarily, rather than death, as the Druidism is even around in the living world and isn't entirely a construct of Death. There are themes of the Drust that tie into Death certainly, but it doesn't seem as Undead as much as it is Life, twisted into Death, to me. And while I would personally rather see more Nightmare expanded upon before Drust content, the Drust does have a strong visual style that seems a lot stronger right now compared to Nightmare.

Around Legion I probably would have sooner expected content around the Nightmare, because of that raid, but right now Drust seems like it has more going on and would be more potentially relevant. The Drust seems like, comparatively, a relatively small organization compared to what the forces of the Nightmare can include. The Nightmare seems a lot more numerous and infinite than say, the Drust. The Drust seems like a small tribe in comparison to the Nightmare which reflects potentially the entirety of Azeroth - so everything can get corrupted. The Drust meanwhile doesn't seem nearly as threatening on a global scale. But if the Drust were a larger threat, I think it could potentially work as an expansion level threat.

Based on current quests the drust were a minor threat
Thros is in the shadowlands
We defeated their “leader”
They aren’t finished but outside of muehzala stuff they aren’t really prominent
They are the ogres of the shadowlands

This interview gave exactly 0 info about this topic. Sloot didn't even asked about future beyond 9.2. You still speculate based on nothing.

Btw, saying 9.1 is dropping soon is very disingenuous. Soon means within the next 3-4 weeks for me and that's not going to happen at all with TBC launch June 1. Unless Blizzard once again wants to sh*t on the playerbase and release TBC and 9.1 at the same time, something Ion said they won't do just two weeks ago.

That's kinda problem with many people. You check wowhead, read summary see question "when 9.1 drop?" and answer "soon".

In reality it was something like that: Sloot asked about date hints, but even in his question he said he knows Morgan can't really reveal specific info. Morgan said "soon, you know TM.. sorry I had to". YOU KNOW, JOKE.

This recaps exists to give you basic info. If you want to judge if Morgan is disingenuous based on that... well, you are disingenuous.

Yeah, that is basically the crux of the problem.

[Revamp Man]

Yeah, that is basically the crux of the problem.

can they be a bigger threat later in the game?? maybe
much like ogres werent really a thing until WoD the same can be done with the drust where they manage to cross back over into our plane of existence
