So this Azerothian Archives thing is looking like it's going to be Secrets of Azeroth Season 2, yeah?

[Throren]

Ya Amirdrassil has lots of new structures around and under it, including some brand new Night elf buildings and a dock - its for sure not a city yet, but a mid-sized town level

[Throren]

Oh that's really cool! Hope they expand upon it throughout 10.2.5 and 10.2.7.

Any big buildings yet like the Temple of Darnassus or nah?

Largest building there for sure is that one in the 2nd pic with the tree fountain on the back, but there are some other large-ish ones. The two story nelf building we see in Valsharrah is there, plus these ones which are brand new





What I found using Farsight on a shaman to explore

i like how it's not a full city yet. hope we get to see the city getting bigger with every new patch

Ooh I hope they add more. My HS will never be set anywhere else.

Omg I love how that harbor looks similar to the Auberdine one!

Will they actually make use of it though? That boat isn't facing towards the open sea. But there's also two other ports.

There's more buildings across the island too.

Most of these look very similar to the HD models they made for Auberdine on BfA (The dock is pretty much the same) but some structures look new (following the same design)

Better angles.

Can you send the pics of the buildings on the islands? I'm blocked from that person's twitter

So those shouldercape things look to be shoulder pieces after all. Kinda look weird if you ask me but I appreciate the addition if nothing else.

[Xilurm]

Also a different view of the harbor.

Welp, I didn't bother getting any of those cloaks so those shoulders can't be paired with anything.

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

Also a different view of the harbor.

Considering Amirdrassil has the "Emeral Dream" haze effect from the Ancient Bough, I do wonder what the proper ambient lightning effect in Amirdrassil will be; wiill it be overall darker to match better with Teldrassil and other NE territories, or will be lit like the rest of Ohn'haran hills is?

[Xilurm]

I think that skybox is because they ain't allowed to enter on the PTR, so they're using the far seer's sight thingy.

[Ersula]

Multiple Class talents that were previously Shadowlands Covenant Abilities (such as Convoke the Spirits, Divine Toll, and Sepsis) have had their spell visuals updated to match their Class visual kit. This is an ongoing effort and more will be added over the course of the Seeds of Renewal 10.2.5 PTR cycle.

YES! YES! YES!

I hate this. This is what glyphs are supposed to do. Give people the choice if they don't want the visual to change.

I'd expect glyphs for the old appearances. It's a bit weird from the perspective of a new player to have a few abilities that don't match the class aesthetic, and I don't love it for my characters that have never stepped foot in the Shadowlands specifically.

[Xilurm]

More pics.

I'm so excited for this!

[Ferlion]

I hope there's a Temple of Elune/ Moon equivalent.

Like 60% of them don't fit the main class kit.

I blame Blizzard for not making them talents in the first place and thus not having the chance to just grandfather in expectations. The extra visual work is their penance for Covenant player power being a bad idea from day 1.

Glyphing in the old look feels like an easy fix. But class parity should be the default, not vice-versa.

[Chickat]

I don't really see anything happening with Gilneas other than a some NPCs finally being sprinkled around and maybe a FP.

Still its got an awesome atmosphere and music so its still a win in my book.

Ah, bank, inn, repair vender, mailbox, portal to Stormwind. Thats all it needs. You can hang there and take a quick port to SW for substantial stuff.

Portals to Kalimdor.

Portals to Kalimdor.

Portal to Stormwind, Mount Hyjal, Darkshore, and Feathermoon. Happy?
