    The difference is that it does not matter at all if Metzen is there or not to say his "HEROES OF THE ALLIANCE... CHAMPIONS OF THE HORDE..." spiel for ten seconds before handing it off to the rest of the team.

    What's with everyone shitting on Metzen for not going? Why all the doom about the game? Man some of you are not even being rational.

    Would it have been nice to have him? For sure, but the games not gonna explode without him, Holly and Ion are there with a bunch of other important members from the team. Just stop it

    What do you think he is, otherwise?

    What do you think Executive Creative Director of the Warcraft universerse, entails?
    It's a fancy name for Brand director.

    Atleast the poster above got it right on the first attempt, now people don't even know what his purpose is actually.
    Elon Musk is not the brand director of Tesla.

    The equivalent of Elon Musk would be Holly, who is there.

    Considering he just got given a salary of 25 billion, yes billion, not million and he's too busy working at the White House, I'd be pretty pissed off too.

    And the fact you're trying to compare someone who just got given a yearly salary of 25 billion to this just makes me want to like pour lemon juice in my eye.

    Maybe we can pivot back to talking about the game rather than Elon Musk...?

    Feeling like 11.2.5 is going to be a post Midnight thing. I'm a little curious why.

    Apparently the servers are up today so it should be this week. Curious why we didn't get a post at 1 or 2 though.

    You mean post reveal? I guess depends if today or tomorrow we get that PTR build, I'm sure our friendly bird will update us when it's live. Either way they seem a little rushed atm.

    When's everyone expecting we fight the Light? I'm 50/50 between end of Midnight or TLT.

    Yeah, that's my expectation too, though depends on if they use up the Arathi empire in Midnight/TLT or not. I hope they don't, let stuff breathe a little.

    I bet the reason the Arathi Empire will fight us is because they know the void attacked us and they might think we are corrupted.

    but after tlt, there will be a saga? maybe they can change to a 3y expansion format with more content :v

  13. #100833
    The top best leaks remain Troll DHs and Durak becoming a paladin.

  14. #100834
    i have an idea, instead of saga, do one expansion with content of 3 expansions

    if it wasnt for the arathi i would bet on a hard reset, in the last minute azeroth use the last powers to blend the planet with the emerald dream and we wake up in classic 2.0

  17. #100837
    ...much of BFA through DF was Afrasiabi, though.

  18. #100838
    The Light saga is definitely going to have something to do with the biggest Void threats (Dimensius, Xal) being dealt with and the Titans leaving Azeroth alone (be it by killing them or they allow the planet freedom), opening up an opportunity for some forces of Light to go full-tilt towards their One True Timeline. And we have to push against that.

    The Arathi Empire and Lightbound will definitely pop up and I think Denathrius and Azshara will be around for this saga, despite using rivalling powers.

  19. #100839
    you are right, i renamed it

    Danuser & Afrasiabi Saga

    Double this.
    The comparison of German to Austrian is not comparable to the differences between void and blood elves. All void elves come from Quel'thalas, just like all blood elves come from Quel'thalas (Except for the rare diaspora who might be from Dalaran or living in human cities prior to the second war)

    So lets review
    - They come from the same place, speak the exact same language with no dialect differences
    - Were brought up upon the exact same culture
    - Diverged when void elves were transformed by a void storm ~10 years ago

    Now lets look at Germans and Austrians

    - Both speak similar Germanic languages (Though different enough to be classified as separate languages)
    - Always has geographic differences, where germans were spread out upon the European plain, Austrians had a defensible mountain range
    - Both were separated as very different political entities for hundreds of years

    Do you see what I'm saying? This is not comparable at all. Void Elves left Quel'thalas like... Less than 10 years ago. Is an American guy who moves to Asia for 10 years now somehow not American? Void Elves and Blood Elves \ARE\ the same culture.
