    The only unencrypted content is Timerunning, isn't it? So I think it could release prior to the season drop.

    Next week makes sense as this week is SOD.

    It's not on roadmap, but since it's last patch it would be time to introduce BfA timewalking as well.

    It's Phase 3 mutated Sark.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Its either that or some long term building up to an Outlands plot. I believe it was spoiled that the Broken leader from Argus is already on Azeroth by the time of the heritage quest.
    Wouldn't be overly difficult, I imagine. But who knows.

    And yes, I actually linked to a twitter thread some time back that showed a bunch of NPCs in the Exodar, including Hatuun (the Krokul Broken leader). Something big is going on there. Vigilants were also datamined, which I'm very excited for.

    What an incredibly strange and pointless PTR cycle.

    Technically if they wanted to be "fair" (like in BFA times) a singular muscle troll skin for Trolls and a singular Broken skin for Draenei (as they look the same for guys and girls so far, outside of Hearthstone) would do it.

    However I think they will punch up Amani (and Drakkari) in a way to make them semi-playable for Midnight and TLT respectively. Which would probably mean waiting until then to update the muscle troll model.

    Drakkari don't exist anymore.

    All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    So within the next 1-3 weeks we should have Alpha then if the roadmap is to be followed accurately. Neat.

    He looks so much better than his normal mode, and the Dracthyr in general.

    Look how much of a difference muscles make in a character design.

    Agree.

    After a very strong expansion I'm not gonna lie but Season 4 is a huge disappointment. They are not trying anything new at all. Still no word on how many Buillons we get either, or how for that matter.

    I mean, yeah, there are surviving Drakkari, but the tribe itself does not exist anymore, so it's essentially the end of the line for them. Doesn't help that they are still under attack.

    The fact that there is nothing about affixes or anything three weeks before release is so weird. The fact that there is nothing about the reward structure is so weird.

    Anything that people should know is datamined and even then, it's hard to decypher what the actual context is. The weekly dungeon quest on the PTR gave two Bullions. Is there a cap? How many do we get a week? Is that the only way to get them?

    Yeah really strange. All we've heard so far is that they are NOT changing anything regarding amount of Flightstones or Crests, which is insane to me. There needs to be some sort of alt catchup, especially in a shorter season. It's just baffling to me how they can think it's fine as it is right now.

    To be honest I've been disappointed with the majority of post launch updates. I really hope that especially the quality of 10.2.5 etc. is not the new standard for minor patches.

    Maybe not minor patches, but probably the standard for post-expansion patches.

    What affixes? There are no affixes in S4.
