    As if this expansion exudes "quality". Let's go to the next expansion that also exudes "quality" with a rush job and a workforce that is burnt to crisps in Q4 2022.

    But by all means, it is cute.

    With how Covs and their zones have been presented I don't think anyone thinks about them as "dead". Remove afterlife thingy and each zone and its inhabitants could easily fit on Azeroth or different planet.

    In raiding? Yeah. I would say when it comes to just raids, Nathria & Sanctum are two of the best raids they've ever made.

    That was posted yesterday (or this morning in the EU).
    You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

    We have already seen whatever passes for epic and large scale in the Shadowlands proper, and the idea of returning to where you began to finish the narrative is a tried and true literary tool.

    Several ways you could go about it too. Maybe we need somethin on Azeroth, so we have to go back in the thick of Scourge infested territory to get it.

    Yeah but the dead part is kinda important here, don't you think? I mean I've lost all hope for story cohesion long ago, but for the sake of argument let's pretend I haven't, then that is actually quite a big hurdle if you want the world of the game to make any semblance of sense.

    If the "Sylvanas becomes the new Arbiter" thing turns out to be true, I fully expect the existing shadowlands paradigm to be completely replaced & she places the old 4 covenant zones gently on Azeroth. That's how you get them as allied races.

    Exactly, if you can go to the shadowlands, become a new race & just walk back out to Azeroth, then Sylvanas was 100% right this whole time: Death is meaningless, kill whomever you want & don't feel bad about it.

    Lol what kind of logic is that? The existence of an afterlife doesn't make wanton murder justified.

    You should instead think of any territory these cosmic forces control as their "lands". The Shadowlands belongs to death as much as the Emerald Dream belongs to Life, as well as those Void Corrupted worlds? they belong to Void. Fel corrupted planets? Those belong to Chaos. Etc.
    As you said it. It is the Emerald Dream. Saying it's nothing special is like saying Shadowlands is only a grey filter (before they came up with current expansion).

Blizzard wasted alot of potential in making the shadowlands more "otherworldy" in that regard. I'm not sure what a life-lands world would be though, because we already have supder thick woods and stuff, I don't see how Blizzard could make this different in any noticable way..
    Just like they made Shadowlands more than just a grey filter.

    If you literally just respawn? It is still a dick move, like locking you up for a certain amount of time and wasting your's therefore, but it certainly takes the edge out if everyone can just come back.

    To be honest with Draka being able to leave Shadowlands and do spy missions in The Great Dark Beyond, I think all narrative cohesiveness is out the window anyways. Bring on the blue angel dudes and gals.

    It was reposted half an hour ago.

    It makes sense that 9.2 PTR doesn’t interfere with Season of Mastery launch though.
