Or Son of Alleria. The whole expansion's just about Arator the Redeemer going around redeeming things.

Storms of Alleria. New content every month.

This one deserves a bit of credit, as I think it pitched the idea of Stormriding before we even had the datamined Heroic edition mount.

Edit: also before Keyboardturn on Twitter started tweeting mysterious gryphon textures etc.

I would love it if they made all cities equally viable in terms of transportation and services. I want to be able to hang out in Darnassus or Silvermoon without it feeling like I'm shooting myself in the foot. I hate that they made Stormwind and Orgrimmar the "main" cities.

This! THIS SO MUCH!
I hate Orgrimmar's architecture, so I stayed in Silvermoon most of the time because I am a mage and can go anywhere, but because of the 'main city' approach, I feel like I'm sabotaging myself by staying in Silvermoon.

Pretty sure MU Yrel was Maraads dead wife.

But idk if that context got past wod alpha or not.

Nah, in the Alpha.. the two were supposed to be romantically involved, but it was one of the plot threads that got scrapped... there was also mention that Velen was Yrel's uncle, but that too was scrapped.

And there is currently no info if there even was an MU Yrel, so nobody knows if she died at some point in the Orcish onslaught, became a refugee in Shattrath or became one of the survivors of the Exodar...or even if she ever existed at all.

Y’all are overthinking SoA.

Demon motorcycles have already been data mined.

It’s clearly WoW: Sons of Anarchy.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I vote for stormforge, shadows over azeroth, Azeroth, murlocks revenge, mental lords.

Eh, the user who posted that leak posted several fake leaks during the Dragonflight leak season. They never even bothered to delete their old threads, you can still find them in their post history.

EDIT: Also they've edited that post on October 12th. It did not say all of that stuff originally.

This is it.

Guy's making a whole fanfiction to explain the new class but can't detail the mercenary system which would be a pretty big deal in D4 theorycrafting (which is why adding 7 mercs seems unlikely as even D2 who had a better build emphasis only had 4 mercs with specs (and for act 2 it basically was only a change of aura)).

You only need to read the last 3-4 pages to know that BlizzCon is super close. These comments/theories/mental gymnastics are insane!

Can someone link the russian dude who supposedly confirms the diablo leak?

Pretty sure she was supposed to be the daughter of either Archimonde or KJ. I never heard anything about her being his wife lol.

The OP seems to just randomly throw out stuff in the lead up to each expansion, you can see it in his post history. Perhaps less a credit-worthy pitch and more a scattergun approach.

People assumed that Maraad and her had a relationship in the MU back around the time of WoD Alpha/Beta when Maraad had a lot more flirty/protective dialogue for her in one of the original Gorgrond builds. Before any form of relationship got scrapped as the builds progressed.

Dunno why they did that. More connections between characters is a good thing IMO.

I remember the relationship thing in early builds, but nothing that would have indicated that he met her in the MU.

Later some people even thought they changed it because maybe Yrel was Maraads' AU variant lol. (which is funny, as Loki literally did the variants fall in love thing years later)

Just one of the many odd narrative changes between WoD beta and Live. It's like the Kargath's fate being changed just a few weeks before live version of WoD, despite living in the Highmaul beta tests. If I was to guess they originally changed it internally at some point to try and very much define Yrel as her own character instead of having her heavily tied to others, but then the rest of WoD happened and well the rest of history.
Personally hoping they bring her back in one of the next few expansions so she can actually get time to properly develop as a character for once.

Although, I must concede there, there was never major evidence for Yrel being in a relationship with Maraad in the MU, but I do think between this and the whole Yrel's dark secret thing the devs were mentioning for a while leading up to WoD, it left peoples minds to speculate heavily on possibilities.

Shadows of Avaloren has been leaked already?
