    I think it is Tyr's story that establishes the ongoing story, past DF. It could be that the Discs which we try to retrieve from the Nighthold which hold the memories of Tyr (and not some edited records) reveal the other side of Azeroth to us and how to get there.
    It was said in the interview that Vyranoth and the Aspects will question Tyr on MANY things. That may as well be one of them.

    Tbh if true then I am a bit disappointed at least from the small subarea we can see of each zone. The wasteland one looks cool, but others are very basic.
    Features overview? Wdym?

    To be honest, that seems... not out of character for Iridikron. Granted in the first meeting he instantly goes to chow down, but after that it's been largely moustache-twirling villain hour. The difference from normal is that he's demonstrated he can back up most of his talk, and to date he has achieved all of his goals in these scenarios.

    They mean the four images; they resemble the video style used in 'features overview' clips for expansions, which in the past generally include a few quick shots of the major new zones.

    That is some interesting info, though I struggle to see those images being real unless it's somehow revamped zones.
    Maybe the person meant something else was real?

    There’s little to no chance they would put something like that in a book in the patch and otherwise have no mention of it and then make it part of the same patch.

    It would be like the dragon isle being in 8.3 because wrathion mentioned it in that patch.
    Evil only wins when it spreads. It can cause destruction, it can cause death—but those are consequences of its nature, not its victory. Not its goal. The danger of evil, the purpose of evil, is that it causes those who would oppose it to become evil also.

    Ahhh well s*** I was hoping we were done with that x.x

    If true its expected but does it look exciting? No it doesnt but they better introduce some badass systems if they dont want people laughing them off the stage.

    You mean, those 4 photos of zones are supposed to be real?
    If so, then... well let's hope the colleague of your colleague is nothing more but an imaginary friend.

    It's funny that I hoped these @Scaleface void zones images are fake. Now I pray they are real.

    Except Dragon Isles was a long standing location that we've heard about for years, and it was cut content from Vanilla.

    A story about a green dragon flying west into the unknown against Tyr's wishes doesn't really mean anything. It could be as simple as symbolism of the dragons disobeying Tyr.

    The systems situation is probably more interesting to discuss, because what rabbit can they pull out of a hat? Talents are sorted, professions need some tweaks but overall the rework has them in a better place, UI overhaul happened.

    Archaeology revamp is likely, but that can hardly stand on its own.

    When we've already been teased with scraps about another continent hidden away by perilous conditions, it's pretty reasonable to see this as a teaser, whether for the immediate next expansion or a future one.

    The accusations of actual filler expansion would be deafening.
    No 10.3. Reused assets everywhere. Everyone expecting a world revamp after Ion confirmed it was something that would likely happen eventually.

    Only upside is that it would likely go for all kinds of crowd pleaser features, like removal of Transmog limitations on armor.

    Well since Tyr is being restored AFTER the main campaign and death. of Fyrakk, not likely. It'll be a segue to 11.0

    Housing or some equivalent is an option, though would be weird to have it on the opposite side of the planet compared to where we usually are.
    That kind of feature feels like it should be as close to Stormwind and Orgrimmar as possible to make it feel evergreen no matter the expansion. Having it in Avaloren or whatever would make it feel like Garrisons in having it tied to an old expansion.

    Those weren't features overview screens, they were zone previews.

    They are part of what is presumably the feature trailer. It shows the expected features like talent revamps of covenants alongside the zones and dungeons.

    Yeah, this is kinda what I fear this sort of thing will not hold people for long at all as we cant expect a thrilling epic adventure story with the writing as it is lately.

    We still have at least two patches after 10.2; (10.2.5, 10.2.7). We're not going to immediately jump from 10.2 to 11.0. 11.0 comes out in late 2024.

    Again, those were zone preview screens, i don't care what the trailer is.

    If true, then yeah...disappointing so far.
    I would like an 'other side of Azeroth' and I'm convinced we will get it because of the Map shifting kalimdor to the right to make some room for a future button to switch to the other side. (some youtubers covered this)
    But I would hope for some fantastical unique-looking places over there. Those screenshots are very bland and don't showcase anything special
