World of Warcraft: Talons of Fate Leak - 10.0.0

[bruxx]

Linear questing has become the standard since Cataclysm and hasn't changed since. Thus this quote is bullshit.

TBC and WotLK were a bit of a mix, while Vanilla was the only one to be very non-linear, which explains the feeling of world exploration as opposed to everything being 'on-rails'.

Legion and BfA were both non-linear, you could do the zones in any order and that lead to less connection between their stories

[Teriz]

There is also no new class or race planned, as has been the case for a number of previous expansions as more classes only adds to the balancing work load and makes it more difficult to balance every class. If the new dragons are well received they may end up as a neutral allied race, similar to how Pandaren work.

Blizzard has never expressed that adding more classes makes balancing more difficult to the point of being prohibitive. Further, they have stressed that they will add more classes when appropriate.

That argument sounds like something from the "WoW needs no more classes" crowd.

Completely defeating the purpose of the level squish and the Chromie time system?

i mean the leak is most likely bullshit but lvl cap of 70 is almost certain to happen...
and it doesnt defeat purpose of chromie time as its purpose is so you dont have to hop through all expansions, but rather can level in one, they most likely scale it up to lvl 60 and add bfa to it

This, plus when you look at Threads of Fate in Shadowlands, it's the best of both worlds. Finish the storyline on a character, then you're free to go wherever you want.

All of these different leaks. All of them too detailed. Someone or maybe all of them are transparently lying.

For the record: I'm not onboard that any of this is going to happen.

Awww dude you almost had me
But claiming the scarlet crusade is aligned with Calia when the book says she’s an abomination and they have a false heir because they have a boy and she has a daughter

Datamined voice lines show that Tyrande is not "denied".

All that effort you put into this post and you blew it with those. Better luck next time.

Borrowed power is bad, pemanent being stuck in level 60 (borrowed levels) would the worst from both worlds.


OT: Don't think all leaks being related to dragon isles being a coincidence.

Agree; the only time they've addressed the no new class complaints before Shadowlands was to say "We didn't think we had one that fit well" which either implies they don't care to add Dark Rangers, or Shadowlands was too weird and fillery to bother. They know people want classes.

I don't like the name but all in all good leak.
