    That's pretty shadowy.

    Like, could just be some starlight potentially but they did a shit job if that's all it's supposed to be. Each cluster is too dense and purposeful.

    Here‘s to hoping the Sargeras pulls the swords out leak being true, they’ve been the best ones.

    the rocks on the base of the sword are the same ones from the tweet WoW posted a bit ago showing some of the stage decor

    Because the Cosmic setting was never the problem in the first place, it was simply the garbage villain.

    What people dislike about Shadowlands is not the setting, it's that the Main Villain is garbage and retroactively ruined the lore.

    Go back and look at the immediate reactions to SL, people either liked or were neutral about the Cosmic setting.
    Yeah, I mean the part where you travel "beyond the veil" doesn't feel "cosmic" to me, more like a fantasy realm of death. The part that came afterwards, meaning Zereth Mortis and all that stuff, was what I disliked a lot. And that the lore started to conflate realms, dimensions, void, light and everything in between.
    I always envisioned Shadowlands as the counterpart of Emerald Dream.

    And cosmic doesn't necessarily mean "anything that hangs in the Twisting Nether" or "has a otherworldly vibe" to me, but rather have spaceships, planets in astophysical? sense and sci-fi theme smuggled in to something, that by default exists in high-fantasy setting. But as I said, that's my view on that

    The dumbest leak ends up being the real one, id be flabbergasted.

    What was the Shadow over Azeroth leak again? I remember the detail about the sword.

  8. #51548
    That looks very much not like the area around the sword currently...lol

    I really wouldn't like Sargeras pulling out the sword. I don't see what else could get rid of it, but I don't want Sargeras to be free or redeemed.

    If we get Avaloren and it's just another expansion continent with 4-5 zones and maybe an island or two off the coast, then I will think the devs have given up.

    If we go to Avaloren and it's just that then it needs to be visually and thematically distinct from the Dragon Isles. Like being an archipelago with actual deep water you need a ship to get across. Or a flying continent or whatever.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    We are so desperate to derive truth in leaks because of a background.

    I love it. Shadows over Azeroth sounds cool.

    Dumbest? It‘s by far the most creative and interesting one.

    Wonder if the sword was keeping the shadow at bay.

    There is no expansion, the presentation is just going to be Ion airing his grievances against Asmongold for asking that question a year ago.

  15. #51555
    Is there going to be someone on the stage in front of the sword? Illidan maybe?

    It's possible the intent was to give the scale impression. Like the sword reaching up above the clouds and into space.

    "We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

He's not redeemed from what I gathered but is working alongside the other titans now that they've realized the threat of the void. He pulls out the sword out of Silithus and through the hole we travel to Uldaz. There is a teleporter pad there which takes us to Khaz'Algar, which is underground, like way waaay underground. The earthen have become "corrupted" by being too close to the titan soul of Azeroth.
    Heart of Azeroth is back and Khaz'Algar can only be entered if you have the neck equiped. Major world revamp with lots of void portals opening all over similar to Legion Invasions.
    Fun Fact: The trailer is narrated by knaifu.

    The background of the sword in that pic, it looks very voidy and shadowy, wouldn't you agree?

    I would watch with full attention for the entire duration of the panel.
