I love this. Amazing art. Also confirms some stuff:

The Titans can change their size.

And Sargeras never solo’d the Titans. He and his Legion teamed and overwhelmed them. Makes Sargeras fightable ngl, and it also kinda makes the Eternal Ones appear less weak.

[Dracullus]

Well not really, thing is I don't usually play a lot in the Tyranical weeks because it's whenever I have overtime on weekends lol

With this scoring system they could as well give us choice for these 2 affixes when you put a key (still that would create potential issues), but sadly I don't think many people has similar problem to yours.

That's problem with games like WoW, you fix one problem, two more issues pop out.

Blizzard hasn’t officially talked about their own Raider IO just yet, did they? I mean we haven’t had a bluepost that clearly explains how the system works etc. - and there was no chance to give real feedback on that. At least when I can believe what Taliesin just said in his newest video. Guess this will be a huge factor for upcoming tuning and it only can start when players had the chance to discuss and give feedback.

[Dracullus]

@Nyel looks like you overestimated TBC popularity. On twitch it had around 433k viewers on peak (unless it will grow again). For comparison SL - 948K, Classic - 1140K.

Unless there is some factor I don't know, these numbers should corelate with popularity. Still enough to make this worth, but it's not fresh expac.

(For people reading it - don't treat it as some jab towards TBC - have fun!)

It’s up for testing
That’s where the feedback comes from

So we can’t really assume we know how difficult s2 will be for the new affix but you figure the current +15 will be the new +10 and increase the players stats by 30% (I hate this power creep btw) not factoring set bonuses or trinkets or legendaries

Some classes scale extremely well and will start to shine like druids while others will fall behind like monks

Unless the new affix is something that is more difficult than prideful I doubt the extra 15s will be as difficult as they are now

No build today?

No build today?

I didn't really expect it especially with TBC Classic launching tonight.

Probably best to not overload things.

I'll be honest, I've been busy with my D&D campaign finale all evening, but I should've known better than to say that and not check things first.

That bad, huh?

Even ignoring the ddos

Taking everyone from two continents and shoving them in one zone is a bad idea

Wait a sec, why are pit lords present during the battle with the Pantheon at Nihilam if they were recruited by Kil'jaeden long after that?

When you don't know how any of this new system works it's hard to give feedback, isn't it?

Oh yes, that, I had forgotten that.

Not the same expansion but I still vividly remember being stuck in that damn gyrocopter Alliance-side in MoP's starting area. Eternally flying a figure 8.

[Alanar]

Still think 10.0 is a new designed world?

Honestly... I dont care anymore, but the truth of mattetr is that Shadowlands is already a new disigned world and it sucks. Do we realy want a new world again cus msybe we like it then?? I dont think so.

If 10.00 is void world i think players will dropp even faster. (my prediction) The alien worlds just have less appeal and less lore then Azeroth... so that will always feel like: we just csme up with this and boy you guys gonna dig what we came up with... so new lore gets added, but doesnt feel natural or connected. Specially when things are suppose to be old. It just feels odd and not right. We all know they just made that shit up.
One of Shadowlands critique that we have seen is: new lore, altho the chracters are suppose to be ancient, when they are invented 1.5 years ago. People dont connect that well with the story. Etc etc. So a new allien world isnt magically fixing that that gap.

If 10.0 comes around and will purely focus on a differnt planet I dont think I would like it. Shadowlands proved that for me already.

Don't ask. In case you haven't noticed, Blizzard isn't big on consistency. Watch cool scenes and be in awe.

I honestly hope the next expansion is something based in Azeroth and is old lore, like Dragon Isles or Undermine. I think the userbase is clamoring for something more down to Earth in the next expansion.

Ehhhhhh...

The Chronicle changed it.

- - - Updated - - -

Pitlords are present here when Sargeras led the charge in Nihilam.

Chronicle DID however have Sargeras solo the Titans, while here it changed to Sargeras and the Legion jumping the Titans.

[huth]

Again, why is levelling always brought up like it is the only reason to ever do a world revamp? Can't a world revamp be something we get because we have loads of old unused zones with loads of storylines waiting to be explored?

Because you don't need a revamp for that. Look at WoD, that's doing precisely what you ask without revamping. A revamp only makes sense to adjust the leveling experience as well.
