9.2 is likely gonna be a redemption arc for both tyrande and sylvanas seeing as neither one died and theyw ill both work together to ultimately defeat the jailer

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I don't. I wouldn't notice this removal if not for the news. I am just amazed how you instantly jumped to Blizz defence, when the smoke screen changes they do is ONLY because of recent scandal, and not for actual betterment of the gaming and work environment. This is what Blizz hoped for. Do stuff like this and hope that peeps will say "oh look, they make the game a better place, they do care". And you fell for it so hard.

Blizzard isn't a hive mind. This isn't some cynical conspiricy.

Why would Tyrande need to be redeemed? She just needs to go back to Azeroth and find a proper home for the NEs and lead them.

[Raetary]

Yes? I'm aware. Okay I don't have to do 36, but I never assumed I'd have to that in the first place, that never made sense.
I just really don't want to do half these challenges again, I'm still flipping Velen the bird whenever I see him. :P

Ah, sorry.
I didn't fully read your post and assumed you specifically meant the 36 spec achievement.

I wouldnt call it jumping to their defence. I agree on their stance on removing a few of the emotes because they are dumb and pointless. There are several things Blizzard could do, and indeed have done that I don't agree on, but removing emotes are not one of them.

Redeem Tyrande for what?

Tormenting us with terrible story development?
A bit too late for that.

[draugril]

Current environment? You mean game devoided of Legion's grind and RNG? Yeah, that will make things a lot worse.

Leveling all 12 classes during Legion and now are absolutely incomparable experiences. Not to mention the time investment required to get them to a semi-viable state a the cap.

[Sondrelk]

Looking at all these new unique tints for completing the mage tower timewalking does make me wonder why we only really saw Blizzard reuse cosmetic assets in BfA with the Island expedition rewards. Feels like Blizzard is just sitting on a treasure trove of potential rewards players would absolutely do weird obscure stuff for that simply doesnt get utilized.
I would absolutely level alts for every single class and gain Renown 80 for each if the reward was a recolor of the Nighthold Mythic set for instance.

They are definitely incomparable. Levelling a new alt in Legion was agony, it was possibly the worst it had ever been. Every single expansion, with only the barest hint of increased experience gained.

I have to honestly assume you mean it will be easier now. For one, this is timewalking, just pick up a set of BiS stat armor and some good trinkets and you are golden. Much easier than in Legion when you had to level an alt, go through all the patches, and then hope and pray you got a Legiondary that was at least somewhat decent, and better still gain a second good one so you didnt have to be stuck with the awful quest one from killing Argus.

[Makabreska]

Damn this looks good. How did it loose to the Ancient?

It sounds like you confused WoD and Legion. SL require minimal effort to get to decent state (and we don't know what MT will require for smooth experience), but it will be nothing compared to Legion.

In 7.3/7.3.5 leveling is longer with less choices, you must farm AP for decent weapon(s) level, do whole Argus questline, farm gear (catch up gear cost like 1000 Argus resources for random piece), farm right relics, play legendary casino until you get right legos, farm 7.2 currency for tickets, MT opens for 2-3 days sometimes in the middle of week. Don't remember if class campaign was mandatory for second lego at this point.

In 9.0 you level through slower (but with more choices) threads or faster on easy storyline autopilot, go to Korthia with one click, send tokens from Stygia of your main, fill holes with drops from rares, upgrade to 213/220 from stuff you gathered from rares, do specific tasks for bis Lego/conduit + few Torghast runs, Renown will rain from the sky while you do it. MT won't be open often, but entry is free and you will know when and it will be whole week. And there is no time limit. Although I suspect 10.0 will be return to Legion/BfA grind, so I want to do at least 7/7 this expac.

Hope they modify the hands more, they look nothing like the NPC ones still lol

It's just the outline. Not sure they will implement it.

[therumblings]

This seems to be a trend for the Nightborne in general. They just recreate the features on the playable model, most of the time it doesn't look good. I wish we had the male Nightborne NPC faces.

I wished both male and female had the NPC Nightborne faces. I still don't know why Blizz hasn't fixed the sneers on male Nightborne.

Illidan collecting human men as concubines is hilarious to me

[Aeluron Lightsong]

They made it inclusive....fucking chill.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Why change it at all? This shows Blizzard will never add areas like this again that consists of a single gender. Just like they'll never add concubines/consorts in the future, have crude humor, or show sexual content. None of these changes are positive for the game and only limit what can be shown later on. It's okay for things to not always be inclusive but now that's not possible.
