Nah, still the full 12 minute song... just played in ten seconds.

[Lazarel]

Hoping for something completely different for the login music, something like MoP. I get so sick of hearing all the intros apart for wrath and mop.

I hope for something like cata. A new theme that includes revamped parts of the original theme in addition to the expansion specific ones. something to feel nostalgic but at the same time fresh and powerful

[Revamp Man]

Uh, the queue times for Draenor-EU were like 3-4 hours lmao.

The servers were so overloaded you literally couldn't play on Draenor.

I remember lol
The streamer I watched had to marathon it and his buddy was still in q

So for those of you who find old lore interesting we run into a bronze dragon named aeon who is mostly insignificant however what isn't insignificant is that we face his infinite counterpart in TBC Aeonus

Also we will likely get adventures in the timelines as some form of content like isles or scenarios

[Luck4]

How can we be THIS close to the release of the pre-patch (a mere 3 weeks) and we've yet to hear the dracthyr voice-lines...? Come on!

Also... the music seems to be in the game; lets release the flippin' soundtrack on Spotify!

No, it's not. It's actually rather eerie if you're used to play with music on.

Oh boy... I'm getting a pretty bad feeling about this.

The lack of polishment is palpable.

[Explicit Teemo Nudes]

i am just as happy with no build as i am with the fixes

both give me stuff to play

so how come nobody has made speculation posts about the whispers in chromie time....like come on guys that was easy

Do you have a video/audio of the whispers?

That's a rather silly sentiment. Sounds and music are not something that generally requires much testing once the sound system is set up.

I like the idea of someone waiting for a single thing to complain about in Dragonflight but not being able to find their reasoning.
"Oh, maybe my class is bad!... ah no they're actually really fun. Hmm... gearing? Ah, damnit, that looks good too..."

...

"AHA! No voicelines!"
vigorous typing

I wish I did but no
It's in the time travel quests during the war between the elements and the old gods
There's two voices
One is nzoth and the other had speech bubbles appearing over my head so idk if it's a normal thing or because I kept my gift from BfA

I'm still not getting it. Is something said that raises questions?

Because they've demonstrated that half the time after they write new old god whispers, they either change their story plans or the content they were foreshadowing gets cut. So the whispers are now pointless. It's like Ed Boon's twitter account. (The Mortal Kombat franchise used to do this thing where they put tons of hints to secret content, but since the 3d era, they keep doing this but for secrets that don't exist. Making the hints pure trolling.)

How much testing these voice lines need, hmm?

[Murlocos]

I think it's reasonable to be cynical about any speculation bait inserted by the writers after two expansions in a row largely driven by mystery box style writing where we're constantly poked and teased with "why did this character do this, what's their endgame? you'll have to wait and see!" only for those reveals to either be underwhelming or immediately swept aside for the sake of pushing another mystery in front of us. Or, in this case, unceremoniously explained away in a book. Il'gynoth isn't going to generate the same buzz today when the curtain has been pulled back so thoroughly compared to 2016 (and it's not even like WoW writing has ever been great about consistency!)

[Nymrohd]

These days they mostly need to be tested on whether they trigger someone out there.

[Makabreska]

That was a rhetorical question towards the guy that starts to doom-say, because we don't have these lines yet in game.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

No reason to be that cynical over god damn voice lines.

I just hope it starts immediately like vanilla/cata etc and doesn't have the windup intro part like wotlk/SL etc. Then we get to actually hear it and not just the windup

[Nymrohd]

Atm what I am looking forward is a blog about M+ rewards. And maybe a disambiguation about Primal Infusion.

Need info about Affixes changes. Necrotic and Inspiring are gone, gotta see new seasonal one and w/e else they will come up with.

Need a blog on M+ in general. I don't expect a schedule on the rotation or anything but they should get most of the information in one place. Affixes, rewards, plans for the loot tables of older expansion dungeons.

Yeah, I really hope the M+ seasonal mount is a banger again
