All natural life exists in a constant cycle: The Drust are nature spirits that have been cut off from that cycle. It's just a nature-oriented kind of undead. It doesn't need that much explaination.

No?

Drust were estabilshed in BFA and build up, isnt the fucking fat pirate, to be something more later and we got Ardenweald as motif, there was a raid in ardenweald with the Drust and to invade/fight them in Thros to explore the Death aspect of druidism.

isnt like "eheh they are outside the cycle"

The textures look identical to me on live on 10 graphics, but the props are 100% new

[Dioporco]

Shadowlands still has more content than WoD, I don't get your point other than trying to ragebait lol.

Highmaul
Blackrock
Hellfire Citadel

3 raids like SL ?

[Ersula]

Oh look, a few days ago I was talking about the "Scarlet Brotherhood" identifying Genn Greymane as a "pawn" and Ion mentioning Genn Greymane as culprit of potential Alliance drama (he didn't mention Turalyon and Alleria btw, did you know he didn't mention them btw?), and now a "letter" addressed to "Genn Greymane" has been datamined. This by the way in the same batch of news where a Tirisfal Glades revamp is datamined, Tirisfal Glades being the base of operations for the Scarlets.

I'll try to act surprised

All the faction leaders appear to be getting some content. You simply pointing out the scarlet stuff from several patches ago getting referenced again isn't quite a "slam-dunk" in terms of prediction yet.

If raiding is the only content you do, sure.

Highmaul & Blackrock were the same tier tho. WoD had 2 raid tiers. Shadowlands had 3.

I miss the days when Ersula was the most unreasonable one in the room

[Treegdar]

That's new.

This matches live servers exactly. Not new

Tier 17 is Blackrock Foundry.


If you think that a raid released in Ddec 2014 and one in Feb 2015 are the "same tier" is your own idiosyncrasy

We've always had the ineffable Ren'Dorei, Gifdwarf.

I agree that there was likely going to be a Drust/Ardenweald raid that got cancelled due to covid. That's why we got so many Tyrande cinematics in a content tier largely unrelated to her. But it's still not that complicated: The Ancient Drust worshipped by the Vrykul were just another of the groups the Jailer struck a bargain with. Just like the Troll Death God & that other Vrykul Death God.

Tier is irrelevant, Shadowlands has one extra raid boss than WoD does, which isn't much, but they have roughly the same amount of raid content. Shadowlands has more in other areas. Which is why WoD is remembered as raid or die.

[Dioporco]

If raiding is the only content you do, sure.

is the current major content beside M+, if you think that WQ and Torgast are content well it is your problem beside using smiles in posts.

Oh you just reminded me, lol.

Who cares about the # of bosses? what a dumb argument is?


The fact that WoD and SL have the same vibes as "cut content" is pretty much evident, SL has been handled better.

[therumblings]

Yeah, there is raiding, and mythic plus, which WoD didn't have, plus a mega dungeon. As well as two end game zones instead of one. Weird hill to die on.

And Highmaul is Tier....nothing? Because they drop literally the same ilevel items, with the same appearances. They were the same tier.

I know they haven't done it recently but multiple raids being part of the same tier used to be really common.

[therumblings]

Did you even read my post? I'm not making that argument lol

[Super Dickmann]

The true cursed knowledge isn't that SL has more content than WoD but that it has more endgame content than Cataclysm.

[Bearerofbadnews]

So... don't all these updates to the CATACLYSM and TBC instances prove that a world revamp is de facto not happening? Why would they add evergreen content like a second Heritage Quest to TBC Ghostlands instead of waiting to put it in a revamp?

There is also a map change to Teldrassil listed on the front page, so we may get a flashback quest or the ruins as a small area.

EDIT: Them updating the Lordaeron skybox is definitely suspicious (if we count Hillsbrad)
