    Sure. And if this was a setting that allowed for nuance in communication I'd accept that.

    It's one of the downsides of having a ptr/leak seasons. they keep the interest in the game alive in times of lull but the hype for a new patch/expansion lasts way less

    The question is, who in that case could give you the proper nuance. considering it is probably a rather old tale and Aman'thul/the other titans probably would view it very differently. That's why i said you should consider those books within their context. Aman'thul very likely didn't say "Life Bad! Order Good! Aman'thul smash!". That's why it's an in-universe book clearly written with an in-universe bias.

As in, it's entirely possible she came from somewhere other than Kalimdor because we know she was in the possession of the naga (and who knows what she told them about herself or her brothers at the time) and the naga can access anywhere via the swimming.

    I think that at the very least a visual update WILL happen. If we go with the absolute minimum (visual update, very little to no changes in terrain) it can even happen slowly over the course of an expac.

    So we have Forsaken, BE, NE and Dwarves new guard armour. So we need Troll, Gnome, Draenei and Goblins to full set at this point. Human and Orcs have battlefronts and from WoD they were updated.

    Keep hope alive I suppose……

    There very well could be an old god presence in the next expansion (the fissure that altered the Khaz Algarians being related to Xal’atath is an interesting and plausible theory). However it is highly unlikely we’re zipping off to K’aresh, getting playable Ethereal, running around eco domes, or punching void lords in the face.

    I’m quite thankful for that.

    May as well have him pluck that gargantuan sword out once he's back.

    Interesting.

    Nothing in 10.2 so far looks to be tied to any of that, maybe 10.2.5 or 10.2.7 will actually have some questline involving various races outside of dragon isles?

    and Huntmaster Scarborgh.
    These three along with large numbers of the Scarlet Crusade fled.

    Though it is unknown how the Scarlet Crusade had access to Fenris Isle when the area was under the Bloodfang Pack's jurisdiction.

    As for the whole Calia's child business... we still don't know, but it is a set up for the "upcoming revamp" (I say that because there are multiple hints suggesting that we're gonna go to some area to the west.)
    Seems like those 3 named NPCs are just lesser versions of the ones we know, Whitemane, Houndmaster etc. Interesting.

    I dunno. Bad things tend to happen when Aman'thul pulls things out of Azeroth.

    If I had a nickel, everytime shit happens, when Aman'thul plucks things from Azeroth, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

    Imagine if Aman'thul removed the Sword and sank Silithus, created an ocean and significantly altering the geography there. we could even have a whole expansion around it. World of Warcraft: Adventures of the Sword Coast or something similar. Rolls right off the tongue

    Come on now, you're being extremely negative now. Maybe Ol' Aman has a weird plucking fetish. Maybe he plucked all kind of stuff out of the planet. And now people still keep bringing up just the two times things didn't go exactly the way they wanted it to be. Negative Nancy's.

    To be accurate - he plucked Sargeras from Azeroth too. Its not like its a bad thing overall. 2/3 I must say.

    Well, that was more of a combined effort right? And it also kinda left Azeroth with a giant sword in her side. Maybe a 2,5/3. If we're generous.

    So this NPC from the latest build could just be a new M+ addition to Throne of the Tides (we'll have to see this testing weekend), but it would be eyebrow-raising given these blokes didn't exist at all in the lore back when TotT was current.

    If you take a looksee in the view in 3d option, it's a K'thir. :thinking:

    There is also a 'Mysterious Entity', but the placeholder(?) model is a decidedly squat frog... possibly devs having a laugh.
