#1 Hype-Thread Shitposter - Overlord of the Hypethread
Well, I'm not one of those people, though in hindsight it is obvious to me now that Shadowlands is filler despite the damage it did. I truly hope we do get something of a revamp, especially Lordaeron as it is one of my favorite places in game. I've always thought it was odd that it was odd that all the Scarlet stuff has been in the file since 8.1 and never removed, yet people assumed it was nothing.
On silken ebony wings the harbinger of death arrives.
They definitely have the tech to do that, but datamining would be a HUGE problem unless they put a LOT of work into making sure it's a clean build or they finally applied the Overwatch way of encrypting everything by default.
(I would love a dirty build though, love seeing in-dev stuff!)
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
I'm hopeful they're pretty far with 10.0 art wise.
Zereth Mortis/Sepulcher had very little work done (only cleanup/additions of rocks around the raid entrance and insider the raid) when it hit PTR with only systems (e.g. Cypher stuff) undergoing major changes. Arguably the best way as those matter the most to gameplay and as such will receive the most feedback/need the most iteration.
That is why I think we are getting a beta really soon. With the Council and Blizzard's effort to improve their relations with the community, it will make sense that they start listening to beta feedback ASAP.

Both things will help to sell more copies of the expansion, but what matters is that they change and evolve game systems or WoW as we know it will die. So no, I do not think that is necessary, although I welcome both and I think that we will get a new class; or classes and specs will get so changed that they will feel like new classes.

yeah no, i hope its fake, "races reconnecting with each other" is the most bullshit thing i ever seen in warcraft recently, i never play wow again if they make this shit.
Imagine the dwarves helping taurens - one of the native races of azeroth who didn't had any titan influence - to find their titan origin, after invading their lands, killing then to dig for titan relics and bombing to hell one of their tribes into oblivions, yeah fuck no thank you.
And the nre race options is just dumb, why a new cat people when you have saberon?
Saberon and botani after the maghar scenario are perfect races to join both alliance and horde.
Velves are still integrally tied to an existing race (two if you count Ethereals) and the only real asspull OC race in a while is Vulpera.
It's one thing to come up with new races but a moon race called Elarian (basically two steps from Lunarian) is some looney tunes shit IMO.
