Pandeon of Life. PANDAMONIUM!

I don't see them triggering the "Break Glass in case of Emergency" added in Firim's book for a rather long time period. I don't really know what happened with the writers that they pussyfooted not only N'zoth but also Zovaal and decided to then create another opportunity to do something grand and well. We'll see.

In a way, Danuser knew that maybe theorists would be lured in by the false premise and Zovaal Cinematic is actually impactful but I doubt it based on all leaks pointing to Zovaal's Destruction that lead to Void or other force opening the destruction on the Pattern and the WoW Season 2 aka Fortniting the Warcraft Universe.

Never has something that I'm sure is based in actual PTR lore hurt my brain so much to read.

Whatever all of that was meant to mean, I hope Blizz never does it. Because it sounds like Cosmic Bullshit with a healthy dose of Meta.

IT'S HAPPENING! (Not 10.0 but cross-faction)

[Arcinatoss]

holy crap, figured it was gonna be a selling point for 10.0 https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/ne...tion-instances

Cross faction gameplay is coming and it’s not an expansion feature like many have thought.

I wonder if it was going to be a 10.0 selling point but they had to move it up.

Don’t think so, this doesn’t sell as a feature anyway. It’s a quality of life change.

I mean it was never going to be their poster feature. But still, 9.2.5 sounds like a "we're releasing a 10.0 thing early" timeframe. Reminds me of when they dropped Transmog in 4.3 and later admitted it was originally a MoP feature.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Pretty worried that this means we won't see any more news. Guess it is next week then.

I mean they need anything they can get for 9.2.5 I guess, so this be it. I’m not mad, I just think this would’ve fitted better right after BfA.

Yeah I'll agree there. This should have been in 8.3.5 story-wise.

Which... well if you're a pessimist on WoW's subscriber status, this definitely is gonna look like the mother of all rip cords to you now.

What to be worried about when the news they gave us are great?

Finally, faction restricions are fucking obsolete. Faction conflict is the biggest meme and needs to be put down to rest. Factionbabs btfo. I'm impressed.

[guro-tchai]

if they had to announce this now and not with 10.0, it probably means we're months from it. i hope i'm wrong.

Looking at that poll on when people expect news, I think some folks are starting to get real nervous about when the 10.0 reveal is happening.

[Makabreska]

Well, they said it comes in 9.2.5.

[therumblings]

Well that's definitely some news!

[Makorus]

That's absolutely bonkers and I did not see this happening.

Premade Groups in the Group Finder listings for Mythic dungeons, raids, or rated arena/RBGs will be open to applicants of both factions, though the group leader may choose to restrict the listing to same-faction applicants if they so choose.

is amazing and is even gonna help with old raids like Nyalotha or Uldir.

(Haven't read post yet). Cross faction instances could be test drive. Many of us want cross faction WORLD (war mode off naturally) outside Orgrimmar/Stormwind - grouping up, other faction no longer stealing your tag, etc.

I think reveal will still happen in March after 9.2 story is done (at least Jailer cinematic), but probably Alpha will start after 9.2.5 will be out, so around June, with expac scheduled for Q1 2023 (again, unless it's a revamp which would take longer).

Judging by the way they are describing this, it sadly doesn't seem to be something they are planning. Wish it was, I would really love to play some Alliance races, but oh well.

Great day to be a WoW fan.
