This one I imagine.

And I don't know, this doesn't seem all that confirming. Aside from Khadgar, the mount thing isn't a reindeer, its the sleigh which is considerably different. I see nothing about Tirisfal or the Ghostlands, nothing about the Dark Iron stuff going on.

Actually... it's a reindeer(s) mount!

*peaks head in*

Oh, this gun' be good.

Hoping that all of this Lordaeron stuff is a prelude to Dragon Isles, given that they might be located off the coast of Lordaeron, but that's just wishful thinking.

[Ersula]

Lordaeron revamp confirmed.

So is that Blood Prince in the new questline angry at the horde for something? Because of BFA? You'd think he'd be more mad at the Alliance for killing his brothers. If that immediately segued into a allied race questline for the liberated undead elves raised during this quest on April 19th, I wouldn't be surprised. It's almost beat for beat the same as the Void Elf acquisition questline.

It would be a lock if Liadrin's daughter had died during it tho. So she could be raised as an undead elf. But she didn't so I'm still apprehensive.

[8bithamster]

What if they subvert our expectations and it's neither Dragon Isles nor Yrel crusade and just an xpac about dealing with issues on Azeroth with a world revamp.

I'd absolutely love this!

[therumblings]

It could be but there are too many details that are so sus.

The Drust part?
The Muezala part?

THE ANDUIND + ARTHAS + SCARLET BROTHERHOOD 8.1.5? REAL HEIR TO THE THRONE?



AND MOSTLY THAT REDRIDGE MOUNTAIN QUEST ABOUT THE SCOURGE GOING RAMPART??



Is way to sus, also Ion bullshit about not cutting patches for SL is clearly true > that they cut off 1 or more patch in SL

Nah, I don't buy it. Seems to me that the original 9.1 was cut entirely and 9.2 was moved forward to 9.1 due to their pipeline being all messed up. I don't buy into the clickbait conspiracy stuff because most of it is based on emotions since most people seem to be angry at Blizzard as of late, a lot of which are probably for good reason tbh. At most we lost a raid tier and mini raid, probably dealing with Drust or something. Maybe some side things here and there like more character development like Pelagos needed etc.

That FF14 will get a huge influx of player for 7.0 or whatever is post endwalker

I would love that.

It's obvious that mount will have reindeer not reins floating in empty space.

[Hitei]

Ayyy, told you:




It's not even April yet and already I'm being proven right.

Lordaeron revamp confirmed.

If they were revamping Lordaeron there wouldn't be much reason to do a minor update version of one of the zones for a .5 patch.

[Varodoc]

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

There are way too much plothole in the game/lore/narrative even in 9.0


There are literally 2/3 FUCKING PLOTLINE missing in Ardenweald.

Plus like somebody said in this thread some days ago about TAZAVESH looking more like a CITY OF SECRETS than KORTHIA and KORTHIA LOOKING WAY TOO MUCH like a Drust/Blightlands.

Also the Jailer cinematic with the Primus missing like if it was a 9.0 cinematic or Baine/Thrall/Jaina begin there for nothing? Bolvar too? Is way too sus, there are too many similarity with WOD

Are you new to how WoW works? over the years the game had dozens of dropped plotlines or things that never went anywhere, and even double that in plotholes. Ve'nari was never going to be a big story character, etc. Don't buy into conspiracy theories just because they sate your emotions.

[Hyrja]

Come on, there must be something that resembles a dragon in this build

Not like in shadowlands, have you played previous expac or?

We are on a WOD scale of scrapping.

At most one patch was scrapped, the entirety of WoD was stopped halfway through production to work on Legion. Shadowlands also got two full content patches instead of one and a .5 that 6.1 was.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

The new developments, save for the fact that we can apparently just go to Bastion at any time we'd like from the world of the living now, are all surprisingly ... actually very good. They're remembering old characters and giving them very satisfying reintroductions (like Salandria), they're showing the Scourge's damage, they're giving us a lot of really interesting things etc.

I'm actually surprised. And somewhat smug, given I 100% knew we'd be getting some kind of Lordaeron/Quel'Thalas content, so I will be gloating if this isn't just leading us up to going from the shore of Lordaeron to the Dragon Isles.

I'm happy to see they're making some interesting choices and seem to be preparing for updating at least some of the world. I'm oddly excited.

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.

[Dioporco]

BFA set the Drust as villain and Gorak Tull? as a big baddie, he even said that he will have his revenge in the Blightlands.


We go to the Shadowlands were we see the Drusts and everything ends there? there was even a raid planned + portals + weapons, is too much sus if you scrap you scrap without leaving these evident plothole OR EVEN MORE PLOTHOLES.

That's a nice conspiracy theory you have crafted, but you will find little sympathy without proof. Every single expansion has mind numbing plotholes by the way. Infinite Legion says hello.

and got 9 months of nothing between 9.0 and 9.1 so even less time.
