    Interesting, the news post about 9.2.5 doesn't mention anything about all this encrypted stuff in Tirisfal Glades.

    Why would it? That would defeat the purpose of encrypting it.

    Well, I wasn't suggesting they should explain the whole plot, but I'm a little surprised it's not even teased.

    I suppose that points to it being tied to pre-ordering somehow?

    I'm guessing 9.2.5's encrypted stuff is related to the pre-orders then, and May 31 is when we get them.

    Weird that no one ever said Dracthyr would be getting a whole new model or genders.

    Blizzard already confirmed they’re getting more torso/body options anyways. (Which is as much work as giving orcs an upright option)
    If they’re already adding the options then I’d want those options to be close to Thunderbrush’s edits which would still be the same model and animations.

    Don’t know why you think giving them a bulkier option is either indicative of gender or a whole new model and animations.

    Could be something that will open later, similar to the Legion epilogue with the sword. It isnt mentioned now simply because it won't actually be available until later anyways.

    Did we ever find out what the new combat sounds were about?

    Regarding the absence story stuff on the patch notes: its probably meant to be a surprise for non hardcore fans. Remember that there is an encrypted splash page for "pre-season 4 9.2.5" and we never saw anything on it, so it likely has spoilers.

    The slimesaber being encrypted for later makes sense as it isn't available until Season 4, but otherwise...

    Bear in mind that even if something story-related is hidden in the patch files, that doesn't mean it can't also be timegated to keep it out of your hands for as long as possible.
    It became clear that it wasn’t realistic to try to get the audience back to being more hardcore, as it had been in the past. -- Tom Chilton

    While true if it wasn't in the 9.2.5 launch day content then they wouldn't have encrypted the 9.2.5 splash screen that you see upon logging in if it did not contain data pertaining to other encrypted content (in this case Tirsifal).

    All signs point ot it being used by the "new" NPC Belf from the heritage questline. Same voice actor doing the sounds.

    That's a good point. That makes it seem like its connected to pre-orders & and that pre-orders will most likely start within the next 6 days.

    Although I already said this & you all said I was delusional.

    Interesting. Points to her being a major Dragonflight NPC then, if they bothered to go that far (and lines up with the dragon prophecy). Maybe she gets stationed with the Reliquary?

    She was one of the orphans in the TBC version of the Children's Week questline, specifically one known for being hated by the Bronze Dragonflight for things she would seemingly eventually do to dragons.

    Because YOUR examples are about completely new animations or models (with animations).

    Same model, same animations.
    This is what I’ve been saying all along what I want as an option.

    Nozdormu would like to have a word with you calling him not bulky: :P

    https://ibb.co/FmJGtfH

    Comparing him to say Ysera and Alex, the other two unique dragons from cata he's miles more bulky than them, his neck is goddamn massive!

    And you speak about Orc posture (same model, different animations) or female orcs (different model, different animations).

    Orcs being upright have the same animations as orcs being hunched.

    They have different standing and running animations to give them the upright posture.
