Okay, so where is Khaz Algar?

far away from the lands of conflict underground deep

[Hitei]

lands of conflict

You can just say EK.

WoW: Lands of Conflict. Good name! HYPE!

Probably already mentioned, but this means the Eastern Kingdoms

I'm messing with the troll. I can't actually be serious with my comments/replies right now.

there is the revamp, no "world" revamp part.

Alright, what is the supposed new spec you know about?

[Cheezits]

A one-continent revamp makes sense but would involve so much Night Elf seethe that it would make me laugh.

[Chickat]

I imagine they'll restock.



13 or 14.

Id say theres enough to make 11 or 12 mega zones if they go that route.

What I would like to see is 5-6 mega zones per continent, plus 2 other zones at launch. 1 for the final 2-3 levels of questing, and a max level zone. The new continent has 4 or 5 zones but only 2 unlocked at launch.

The leveling campaign takes you all over the newly rebuild world ending in the first zone of the new continent. Then you unlock world content in the old world plus the other 2 zones and the other max level only Zone is Suramar2.0. Each patch unlocks another new zone of the continent.

Wow you really would be merging a lot of zones per mega zone to only go for 5-6 per continent.

I was just kidding. It's obviously gonna be 4 or 5 new zones like every other expansion.

Megazones accomplish almost nothing. In fact I'd almost argue they just cause harm, because they highlight exactly how small and minor zones/biomes in Vanilla were and how unnatural the zone divisions in a given region are.

For those of you who are upset about the Lore interview.

What exactly were you hoping for from the dev team? Is it acknowledgment that you don't like the story? They've repeatedly have stated that they are proud of Dragonflight in interviews and how well its being received. Would you prefer they pander to you?

I'm know I'm in the minority here but I don't think that Dragonflight is bad enough for them to need to apologize for it not landing for some people. There are definitely some flaws with the story and getting to know the characters. But to me they have clearly improved from BFA and Shadowlands in telling a story within the MMO framework. They've proven that they do listen to player feedback with some of the quests that people were upset about. Overall I feel like you all are blowing the interview out of proportion.

DF story is as good any any story they have done in WoW with few exceptions. Its fine. WoW story is rarely great.

Alright, what is the supposed new spec you know about?

all race get shamans here, made me think shaman tank spec later but its a tormenting demon hunter spec. dont look like support to me just damage.

[PotHockets]

No, because 1. I dont have time to read anymore if I want to game in my free time. And 2. you guys will tell me the cliff notes in here within 12 hours of its release.

- - - Updated - - -

Also, anyone else receive 80 free HS packs after not playing for years? Just got a gift today. Not sure if its a thing they sent to everyone or just long lapsed players.

I play Battlegrounds almost every day and I also got 80 packs so I think it might be for everyone

[Cheezits]

I would buy a new DH spec.

Curious to know... if the new races are from Lands of Conflict, it would have to be Kalimdor instead of EK right? We aren't missing races from EK.

[Hitei]

Wow you really would be merging a lot of zones per mega zone to only go for 5-6 per continent.

's a normal amount.

Quel'thalas (Quel'danas, Eversong, Ghostlands, ZA and Northeastern EPL/Scarlet Enclave)
Lordaeron (EPL proper, WPL, Tirisfal Silverpine, Alterac)
Arathi (Gilneas, Hillsbrad, Hinterlands, Arath)

Khaz Modan (Wetlands, Dun Morogh, Loch Modan, Twilight Highlands, Badlands, Searing Gorge)
Stormwind (Burning Steppes, Ewlynn, Redridge, Westfall Duskwood, Deadwind Pass)
Lower Azeroth (STV, ZG, Swamp of Sorrows, Blasted Lands)

Roughly narratively comparmentalized in that grouping as well. Quel'thalas is about the rebuilt Blood Elf kingdom and former Amani lands, Lordaeron is about the Forsaken, Argents, Scarlets and Scourge, Arathi is about resettling the northern human kingdoms Gilneas and Arathor, Khaz Modan is about dwarf stuff, Stormwind is about human stuff, Lower Azeroth is more wildlands and corrupted areas.

I'd be splitting most of those in two tbh.

Shrug. Those megazones are all sort of about the size of a Dragon Isle's zone and as above in the edit, roughly themed around a specific group or event.

[seainma]

Where did this megazone idea come from? I've seen it pop up throughout this thread.. Is there some hints to it in game or is this a fan revamp theory that everyone decided to run with?

When I was making my "Homecoming" Light vs Void concept I'd say if they revamped the old world it'd be split into 3 regions each continent. I had Lordaeron, Khaz Modan, and Azeroth for the EK.

[Teriz]

True. They could do whatever they want with Undermine. It would take a lot of creativity to turn it into a continent, but not impossible.
I still think it's going to be a subterranean single large zone with a big player city in the middle. Would you be disappointed if it turns out yo just be a single zone? What if its just a City under Kezan without its own zone. Or what if its just a raid, or how about a dungeon. Wondering what your reaction would be to any of those scenarios.

I would be highly disappointed since it should be a multi-zoned location. There's simply too much lore there for it to be a single zoned location or a raid.

Also your whole schtick for years has been tinker and Undermine obsession, so if they finally come some day what would you talk about then?

Check my sig. I have a wide variety of WoW-related interests.
