That's also not the most important point; the legion is the most iconic enemy in WoW, so people will tolerate a lot of demons - the primal elementalists are just discount twilight's hammer - elementals already aren't the most exciting enemies; and we've had two expansions that are very elemental focused - another one right after DF would, in my opinion, be extremely disappoint narratively

Agreed. We’ve dealt with elemental lords 5 times now. There’s not a whole lot left for blizzard to draw from.

I actually like underground zones, especially when you can enter them through tunnels like Zaralek. Makes the world seem more 3D, like the ground isn't just a flat texture above an infinite void.

I can understand he's excited, but this isn't really particularly interesting to us.

assets is so interesting wording what does that even mean in this sentence? Like the games? The set props?

All the stuff for the big screen, stream, trailers, press stuff, printed stuff, whatever.

Yeah, nothing he is saying is interesting to us, agreed. I'm mostly using this post as a similar, driving force we are all feeling right now...the HYPE for Blizzcon!

I am honestly pretty terrified of this Blizzcon ( because I am going in person. ) I feel some weird pressure that this one needs to be good.

I feel the complete opposite. I am honestly super excited. (I also am going in person.) I'm expecting them to knock it out of the park. I'll come back here and be sad if it isn't.

My theory is the the SAFE Pilot is going to be a part of a future Warcraft Rumble promotion similar to the ones they did with Heroes of the Storm back in the day. For those who don't know, the Primal Flamesaber was given out to people that played a certain number of HotS matches. I could see them giving it out to entice players to try the new game and help its metrics.

PTR realms will remain offline overnight:

PTR Realms will remain offline for tonight while we work to deploy this week’s update. We plan on having them back online tomorrow. Apologies for any inconvenience.

(but i am staying up for an hour or two more regardless because this bit me in the ass before)

It's really not a good idea to stoke that fire just for the sake of doing so. That path only leads to greater disappointment.

[Marlamin]

This next build is gonna take a bit, and it's being hyped up a ton? Hmmm

Maybe we'll test out Fyr'alath, and maybe test out the new dynamic/static flight fire owl mount?

"hyped up a ton"

*literally 1 guy on twitter who is probably excited about something he worked on becoming testable*

...yeah, let's not get excited over that. Now that is something that sets one up for disappointment.

If people get disappointed from a twitter (x) post that I link because I'm excited about Blizzcon, that's not my problem. People overhyping/creating false "expectations" is also not my problem. I'll be HYPE and excited regardless of what gets announced. I can't control how others react/feel from something I or others may or may not post.

Not a jab at your comment either, by the way. Logically, your comment is true and correct. However, I also can't control how others will react to something posted. What I find "interesting/HYPE" may very well be boring to others.

The PTR build is dataminable, stuff should be showing up soon although notes/deploy likely won't be until tomorrow.

Do you think there's a chance that Blizzard is gonna resurrect some of the Teldrassil NPCs with the new tree?

[Revamp Man]

What evidence?

I’ve not seen the evidence in your reply to Makorus above. Just that the Dwarves themselves are known as Stormriders and not the Gryphons. But that isn’t evidence that the Algarian Stormrider isn’t a Gryphon. Is your evidence the Stirmrider Elemental from content around 15 years old? Why does that have more credence than content that’s more recent at 5 years old. What makes a Stormrider a Stormrider? We don’t know. We do have evidence that’s been datamined from the Trading Post in regards to the Stormrider’s Arsenal. Is your belief that it will deck us out to look like the below?

https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Stormrider

It’s likely the concept of Dragonriding will carry over, so it’s likely the pre order mount will have those mechanics. Can you see the above elemental not looking silly whilst using the current dragonriding abilities & mechanics?

Also weren't gryphons getting added as dynamic flight enabled mounts at some point in the past in data mining

[Marlamin]

Looks like a LOT of Druid customization changes are in, so I think that covers that tweet someone mentioned.
