Speaking of jarring clash of texture quality.
Lord, that looks bad.

It is datamined map so lighting and shaders don't work properly on it.

In game it will look better.

Interesting, will have to go check the Live versio nto see what has changed. But on a glance seems like it's mostly just the siege engines being removed.

Wasn't there a leak listing a revamp for Winter's Veil and a permanent though not instant Broom from Halow's End? Thus could that Sleigh mount be related?


Ahh it was the EoA "leak"

*snip*[*]World Event updates - dungeon added for Winter's veil. The boss drops the updated Reindeer mount.

Literal obvious modelviewer screenshot, lower your expectations significantly.

The dragon isles in the past have been portrayed as off the coast of Quel'thalas, with all this stuff in 9.2.5 and two recent store mounts being sun/fire/quel'thalas themed and store mounts in the past being next expansion mobs I like 100% believe its involved in the next expansion somehow.

New patch stuff, let's goooo! I'm more hyped for this tiny patch than I was for the entirety of Zereth Mortis, because it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE JAILER AND THE SHADOWLANDS!

Some buildings have been rebuilt (on live version EVERYTHING in the town is razed to ground) and the roads on the graveyard seem to be remade.

Ingame zone currently has very heavy fog that limits visibility so I can't get camera nearly as far away as the modelviewer shot, but this is similar angle to current Brill:

Renown token is changed from 40 to 60.

jaina and khadgar in oribos

jaina and khadgar in oribos

wow. ok, they are not bringing khadgar back just so he can vanish in the shadowlands for traveling. He will be an important part going forward.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

FUCK YEAH!! THEY'RE FINALLY ADDING HD BLOOD KNIGHT ARMOR. HOLY SHIT. That's almost enough to make me come back.

Wait what now? Where have you seen that?

They remembered that Brill got destroyed after wrecking it off-screen as part of the execrable BFA intro. Even kept the style.

[The Stormbringer]

Wait what now? Where have you seen that?

On the front page, there's two pieces shown so far, a "Blood Knight's Dedication Helm" and a "Blood Knight's Dedication Belt".

Green Hawkstrider

The green hawkstrider could be the mount for the deluxe edition of WOTLK classic.

That Jaina and Khadgar conversation is pretty nothing. That's a disappointment.

Dark Iron Armaments arsenal, yes!

So there's definitely something going on with the Dark Irons, I guess.

I doubt they'd use a basic Hawkstrider model for a deluxe edition bonus.

Season 4 "intention announcement" seems interesting... specifically adding new M+ dungeon selections into the current pool is always welcomed. For the WoD choices I've voted for Grimrail Depot (get mad haters) and Upper Blackrock Spire.


Adding a seasonal affix to all of the Shadowlands raids and making them all relevant again is an awesome idea... but I wonder how loot scaling will go. I assume LFR, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic item levels will scale the same across all of the raids?
"More power levels of raid loot dropping throughout all of them" ...so I can chase after my beloved Occular Gland again. Lit.


Also don't expect 10.0 to launch in the first 2 quarters of 2023. Late 2023/early 2024 is my guess now.

2024? How dense.

Looking at this poll I forgot how many good dungeons were in WoD because all anyone ever seemed to run was the damn train dungeon.

Gimme Auchindoun and Skyreach.

Shadowmoon -.-

Or they just decided to make the the Dark Iron weaponry, that never got used, accessible.
