I don't really understand where's the problem with that? The world is called Warcraft, there are countless species fighting for survival. Two main factions going after each others throats. Orcs were enslavers, murderers, pillagers, demon blood crazed lunatics but we draw the line at chaining the dragon queen, letting her lay eggs and using her children as war beasts?

It's when women are victims of sexual violence and are constantly portrayed as such that there is a problem. Well, her sharing a name with Alex Afrasiabi certainly makes a lot of sense when you take her rape victim past into consideration.

I wouldn't mind another draw or expansion at some point. It was such a cool continent and it's potential was wasted.

Yea, I'm a big fan of outland, but I was disappointed with the expansion, even though there were some things I enjoyed. Just felt like orc was coming out of my eyes and ears during that expansion. Though I still to this day love Gorgrond as one of my favorite zones. I don't know why, I do not know why, probably the music.

To me it still looks like a FF14 Roegadyn and not like an orc at all. Maybe a new type of Ogre at best? But the Zuluhed flashback idea does make a lot of sense.

This is kinda what I'm seeing. To me, it looks like there are some chains falling down his chest. Also holy shit his head is SMALL (I don't think he's wearing a hood, I think the way the light hits the dragon in the background just creates that illusion).

I think his head is way bigger than you suggested

[Darkarath]

I just saw WoD cinematic and hooded Garrosh definitively looks like that guy.

[Wangming]

Also, congrats everyone. We reached page 2300 with 19 hours to spare.

Don't say that so loud. It will probably still be a couple of hours before people notice the sky/clouds is from the ingame skybox.

Alexstrasza predates Afrasiabi even working for WoW. He was just a pleb playing games back then.

Here's to 2500 before the reveal, let's go!

You are behind, Ercarp mentioned the similarity almost immediately.

[ZyntosAran]

So you are hyped about Dragons? And Dragons, and Dragons?

Nobody has seen them in years, they where in cataclysm yeah besides that they did nothing.

Suddenly they will be relevant and important again?

As I am a huge Richard A. Knaak fan (please kill me for it), yes, I am!

[Vakir]

That's what I've been saying!

We don't need no CSI tech, it's plain as day.

That was the first thing that stood out to me. It reminded me of some of the BfA skyboxes, Mechagon in particular.

I think what it's reminding me of is the Mechagon skybox, although you could argue that they're just clouds and clouds all kind of look the same. But it does have that same painterly quality as WoW's skyboxes.

So someone was listening to my skybox ramblings.

[wombinator04]

The leaker said the image was photoshopped to remove traceable IDs, so the sky could just be fake to remove something.

[taishar68]

I'm wondering if Mike Ybarra's "the future of Warcraft" means there will be a major change in either the sub model, platforms, or content release. We've been so focused on the in game possibilities, but we haven't spoken much about the out of game functions that could see a lot of change.

Personally, the sub model doesn't bother me too much but I wouldn't mind seeing the tokens go away (yeah right); launching on consoles would be...interesting...given the challenges of porting to consoles.

Anyway, back to in game stuff...why Garrosh, again? Does it make sense to anyone?

[Marlamin]

I read all posts, especially the ramblings.

I was sort of entertaining his truthfullness despite the riddiculoiusness of the november release date, but he PM-ed me that Shadowlands has more subscribers than BfA. Regardless of my personal beliefs on the matter, not even shareholders are told exact sub numbers, so somone like him with just PR packages would certainly know fuck all about the subject.

And if my intutition is correct, all we know is the title. Tomorrow will be interesting.

Then why are people talking about it, I dont get it really. The guy had 3 calls before 7.0: 2 which were a given and 1 which was 100% false. Guldan observing DH's training? lol. Illidan in 7.0 and DH class were a given since we were 100% getting a Legion expansion. Blurry images like this are always fake. We got a cinematic image leak last expac and it was full HD. There is no reason why this guy should be believed over any other random leaker.

They didn't miss with wod imo. Every zone was fantastic. If wod had world quests and mythic plus dungeons as well as 1 more tier and patch zone it could very well have been one of the best expansions.
