    Eh, I think Razsageth's story is over. Her purpose was to introduce and free the other three, mainly Iridikron. If we run with the idea of Khaz Algar being a part of or near Avaloren, I imagine it's a possibility the "storm" is part of whatever has stopped sailors from going to the other side of Azeroth.

    @Arafel, maybe it's time to give that hype train a ghastly green hue.

    Khaz Algar stormriders, Squally, all very interesting indeed.
    It looks like ghostly or moontouched.

    Yeah, even if the dev who wrote this got fired, I can see them coopting this text to tie it to the Avaloren idea.

    We're 100% getting another OCshit/Shadowlandsy filler island, aren't we?

    As much as I hilariously doubt it's going to happen, I would be 110% on board for an expansion set on or in the moon.

    I don't know why you'd make the distinction. New dumb crap happening in westfall or the barrens isn't any less filler or OC.

    I know how much this forum loves talking about "said streamer," so I don't want to diverge this conversation. HOWEVER, during "the streamer's stream" yesterday, it was mentioned that Blizzard is being much "tougher" on information "getting out". Hence, why "the streamer" deleted several VoDs, twitter posts, YouTube/Tiktok videos, etc. even mentioning the "information" that was said.

    They could make Khaz Algar a Great RIft like zone; in Forgotten Realms the greatest kingdom of the dwarves is the Great Rift which is a massive cavern whose ceiling collapsed millenia ago; effectively it is an open air cave. The dwarves there are also famous for their gryphon riders.

    I think part of the problem would be better resolved by what's been circulating in some of the M+ community, about the nature of who gets punished by mechanics (i.e. Healers). If failing mechanics wasn't so wipe-y or one-shotty, and more just inconvenient, I think it might help soften the sheer cliff face that is end game content for a new player.

    Community obsession with optimality and complete lack of forgiveness for missteps doesn't help.
    tbh I think the game does a poor job of teaching you about the importance of things like interrupts and defensives. It's not something that gets really taught to you while leveling, let alone ingrained. I think having more tutorial dungeons like the Exile's Reach one could help with that, although it's trickier because most of these things are put into talent trees and therefore skippable.

    There's a whole bunch of mounts that are now dynamic flying capable, they just haven't implemented it yet.

    The color patter is the same as previous moontouched creatures:

    Speaking of moon-magic. Interesting that the supposed promotional list also includes a Ysera murloc.

    I have to be honest here. If we go to the backside of Azeroth and it's just a new continent I will be so disappointed.
    Might be on me for hyping myself up with the possibility of a World Revamp, but I would genuinely be so upset if the next expansion doesnt look stellar immediately.

    Hopefully Khaz'algar is on the old continents somewhere.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    Maybe she has a greater purpose than the Dragon Isles? Would explain a LOT.
