    If anything the abundance of Bronze Dragonflight stuff in Thaldraszus would make it more heavily foreshadowed than prior megadungeons have been.
    Which is why i still think it's going to be Brackenhide related. So far all they really got was a few quests in Azure and one dungeon that is in S2's rotation and the story just kinda ends with the Decatriarch running off.

    The future might also see a Disney crossover. Or player housing. Or a world revamp. Or an Evoker third spec. Or a million different things. But they certainly aren't planned for. "Anything is possible" is just saying "No" delicately. Because Lloyd Christmases of the world take that as:

    Megadungeons so far have been more side stories rather than being related to the main plot.

    That could change of course, but personally I think the megadungeon is going to be something loosely dragon related.

    Not surprising, given it plays into the whole thing about the devs being pressures to give up WFH and return to the office.
    If nothing else the devs have more work, given developers have quit in order to pursue different work.

    I somehow struggle to see going from Brackenhide to Brackenhide+. Seems more likely to me that they play a part in some future raid, in the same way the Djaradin play a large part in Aberrus.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    If you're relying on the developer being interviewed being misinformed or just straight up lying, what is the point of them speaking at all? You're just going to ascribe literally anything you want to their comments.

    The decay plot could continue somewhere else entirely tbh.

    Difference is the Ion straight up said there would never be any chance for alliance helves since they existed in horde. Then boom we get fair skinned velves, which are the closest thing.

    With this, however, he specifically mentioned 10.1.

    I think the new patch cadence is something they want to do regardless of the WFH situation.


    P.S. LET THEM DO WFH, times have changed and you are losing so many people do it(At least from what I've seen).


    edit: I'm yelling more at corporate executives not anyone here.

    I'm hoping for a south sea expansion. Featuring Kezan and the other south sea islands.
    Ideas:
    Self Adventuring
    PVP Public Events

    Another isle expansion could be too similar to Dragonflight. I think its either some time travel thing, outside of Azeroth or less likely a old world revamp.

    We dont have too much Tropical islands. Plus Kezan should be a technological wonderland.

    The Djaradin have been shown to have connections to other parties from the start. The whole Gnoll thing is completely disconnected from everything.

    We really need a neutral faction. Yetis and Forest Trolls should not be a part of the Horde or the Alliance.

If you didnt catch it before playing bfa, you didnt miss much as it was changed mostly. What we got was much grander then what we thought initially.

    He stood up pretty early on in the expansion. He wasnt incompetent, he was slacking pretty much. He needed a slap in the face, which he got and he actually got some things done. Ye he was a flawed leader, but that is precicely what people drew to him, that and hes charisma.

    He clearly loved hes people and died for them literally. I do miss the guy, he was kinda goofy, but a fun and interesting character. It showed when it was clear Talanji just wasnt as popular. Bfa was powerwoman expansion so he had to go.

    I was lucky to see her and also got the mount. You can see bulwark of torcali walking on the pyramid after the events.
    I also had exact same thoughts. Rastakhan was flawed but he wasn't as moronic or incompetent as some people claim. He did slack, but after assasination attemptempt from Zul he easily rallied forced and cleared the city. It's such a pity because I believe that this character out of all in Warcraft lore deserved proper redemption arc.
    He had amazing personality, charisma and had a beaming pwerful presence.

    Talanji is fine as a character, but she would serve better as a support. She could've be elevated to be in charge of Golden fleet so she would be free to roam the world and to undo damage Zandalari previously did. That would be the story I'd love to see.

    With Rastkhan's death, Zandalar kinda lost it's glamour to me.
    I miss Mists of Pandaria

    In a way that's why Rastakhan's death worked so well for me. He had just got his head back in the game, he was finally taking charge of the situation, and then he was gone. He really was struck down on his prime which made his death even more impactful were he had been just incompetent. Yes, it's crueler, but also made it so more memorable.

    My issue is that BfA kinda failed use that to galvanize Talanji as the new Queen. She just kinda faded away from the narrative as a major player.

    Decay (and Undeath) has a direct link to Galarkrond, which is foreshadowed in the Dragonscale vault quests, but it's more disconnected at the moment. It can absolutely play a part in the Dream story very soon or whenever Galakrond shows up properly.

    I think that should be an if more then a when. So far, Galakrond has only been relevant (in DF) as a historic figure, with the Decay connection being entirely ignored. There's no indication of any connection between the Gnolls or Protodragons, either.

    In fact, despite Decay technically being an Elemental force, the Gnolls are actually hostile to the Primalists.

    I think that is supposed to be a Vrykul not Yeti.

  19. #4639
    Those have always been there, in the game files Forest Trolls and Vrykul (and there's a few more) races have always been on the 'player race' list cause they are some of the few mob races that can wear player gear.

    Eh I am pretty sure the tweet is supposed to be trolling/joking?
