Huh? The raid Affix was the only reason to repeat the content.Then they probably should have covered some of that at blizzcon. I'm shocked that a powerpoint presentation & the shortest cinematic ever was the extent of retail footage they had to offer.“They should know what to look forward to in 2024."Everything Ion says is shockingly bad idea. My guild really liked the new affixes. Why are we being nostalgic for content we just had less than a year ago? The theme for season 4 being "nothing new" makes me think he has to be trolling.That would be wild considering the Titans spent 100,000 years doing nothing.“So it's really just more, let's bring all three raids back in rotation. Let's bring all of the Dragonflight dungeons back as a Dragonflight seasonal Mythic Plus pool and close out the season that way.”
Yeah.
I remain open minded as to what the Titans' intentions were.
Did they place her in stasis to protect her and keep her in check, like parents grounding and unruly child?
Did they simply imprison her because Old God corruption was too extensive, or because they wanted to force-feed her with Order magic?
Is she neither imprisoned nor put in stasis, and is the logo referring to future events?
Is the logo merely referring to Iridikron, possibly a major antagonist in 13.0?
Who knows. But I lean towards the first one, because that just seems to line up so well with contemporary Titan lore.
I'm still going to guess that it's not "Titans/Keeper bad" and more "SOME of them are liars because reasons" with maaaaybe a couple "some of them have selfish intentions and need to be put down" (Odyn, maybe Aman'thul)
Ironically if Aman'thul is the big big bad then he could even be what Zovaal was prepping against.
Yeah, I think she's put in stasis to be more precise. Some form of it, anyway. She dreams, and through the dreams is able to commune. But she can't wake up. She just persists through the ages. She can bleed and she can heal, but not awaken.
So the Titans wanted to keep it that way for the time being, while the Old Gods want to finish what they had begun and awaken her as a Void thingie.
I'm sure we will continue exploring questions of: "is it right?" and the nature of free will in the story ahead, as suggested by Alexstrasza and her dealings with rebels and Vyranoth in 11.0.
And when Sylvanas broke the crown shattering the sky. I dont think many people saw that coming tbh.

Nobody expects the Emerald Inquisition.

That actually sounds really cool imo.
Or maybe the Titans arrive, find the world soul is significantly corrupted and THEN they imprison Azeroth during TLT because they think that if she wakes up, she will be a Void Titan.
Which makes perfect sense.
has anyone mentioned the Mr GM interview - they said we will get updates every 8 weeks leading up to the next xpack which doesn't add up to only being 10.2.5 - .7 hmm... could we still get a 10.3 with no raid? We know that we have to go into the nighthold maybe 10.3 will be a fated raid of the nighthold
Yep.
IMO, Final boss of 11.0 is Xal who may or may not die leading to Midnight.
A prominent but not necessarily final boss of Midnight is Azshara.
Final boss of Titan is either a titan or Iridikron, but Iridi definitely survives till 13.0.

Demon hunters for all make sense as a 13.0 thing because Sargeras is coming back then. IMO.
I hate this because unlike Xal, or Azshara, or Denathrius.... Iridikron does not have enough personality to be....the longest persistent antagonist we've ever had. These long-term stories never end well, just look at game of thrones: GRRM doesn't even want to finish writing it.
Oh there's at least a 50% chance shes back in 12.0 since its her homeland. I imagine she will receive a hostile/icy reception, but by the end is welcome back in Silvermoon as her defense of her homeland has her redeemed in the blood elves eyes. She will never be a leader of the horde or even undead again, but a prominent ranger hero for elves.

You want them to be good guys? I think they are far more interesting as lawful neutral. Or even Lawful Evil in certain situations. Each titan has their own personality so I can see it varying.
Eonar will be Lawful good, while Amanthul is Lawful Evil in the end.
Yeah that's what I'm suspecting. I'm happy it seems like he'll stick around a long while.
I also have to admit I started working up some really crackpot ideas about Iridikron for a moment earlier (maybe he's the last titan actually, etc) but that was just me being silly at work for a moment and...well, I dunno, I do expect some twist at least.
Also safe bet his den Harrowdeep is an area in revamped Northrend, or maybe even an instance/raid. Though it is kinda interesting to me that it may be in Storm Peaks (from what I saw, its north of where Wyrmrest would be and was based at the tallest mountain or somesuch) which is so heavily Titan-aligned after the Titans came. Very curious.
Okay, i predict that Old Gods sent by Void Lords corrupted Azeroth's embryo despite Titan's efforts to contain them. Titans facilities are also designed to contain Azeroth in case it goes insane.
Old Gods turned Azeroth into Xal'tath. Sargeras tried to kill here before she grew up. He failed and she is free.
Twist would be that we tried to protect the villain all this time and you cant help Azeroth, its evil.
