    I really don't mind, not only do i like the sets to beginn with, but it is a .5 patch and i'm not exactly expecting brand new sets to be designed for it.

    And tbh, the fact that the dungeon gets its own little set drop, instead of just rehashing lvling gear, is a good thing.
    Regardless of it being a recolor or not.

    Maybe i got a little spoiled by operation mechagon, but recently im doing mog runs there and most weapon items are unique(at least i think so), i kinda hoped it will be the same way here.

    Tazavesh i think also had good share of unique models, but maybe there is still a lot of to come, but i doubt it since all weapons here cover all classes pretty much.

    Still, hopefully they add more.

    I like them. I think the weapons/armor sets they made for regular zaralek/fyrakk assault content look freaking incredible. I even enjoy the armor set better than the tier set, looks wise.

    Holy fucking W. These are some GREAT ideas

    We know there is a Gilneas race being offered for Dragonriding, I hope Blizzard has more plans for Gilneas than just that.

    I really hope they do something to revitalize capitals, especially if they revamp old world. Adding some kind of rotating event that forces the player base to go to a city besides org/sw periodically would be a good start.

    Gotta say, I really dig the new Void aesthetics we had during Sark fight. No more tentacles, fleshy masses and purples. Instead nice deep blues, dark stars and silent, cosmic void. Really like it.
    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.

    New? We've had those since Legion. Fleshy stuff is specificially Old Gods. This is what pure Void looks like.

    And yet void stuff and creatures were almost excursively tied to that I mentioned. Check Ny'alotha. That's what was dominating the image for a long time. What we got now on Sark is maybe not new, but so much better.

    Besides, it makes me really want to see the new Light.
    There were some hints to the "true" Void coloration and effects in Mac'aree during Legion (blue spectral starlight tentacles and effects, like the new Ethereals and the Void Elves) but the Sarkareth encounter is a big blast of new effects in that line of aesthetic.

    I agree. It's a nice way of expounding on it and presenting something we have somewhat explored in a fresh light, as well as visually representing something so fundamentally alien.

    No we didn't, the aesthetic of the Void in Aberrus is very much brand new.

    The color scheme is very new as its predominantly toned cold blue with minimal purple accentuation, while the previous depictions of the void where entirely dark puple and black.
    It also has this almost liquid looking cracked glass thing going on, with a very obvious bright super nova/dying star/energy beam looking theme.

    Very hopeful for what the Void Lords could potentially look like, after having seen the new void aesthetic in Aberrus.

    I think you need to go back to Mac'aree and check. The aesthetic is not as new as you think.

    And if anything, it's gotten more purple, not less.

    ????

    I'm sorry, but this is very much blue:
    Spoiler: 








    How the fuck you can look at that, then compare it to this:
    Spoiler: 





    and then claim it's somehow more purple is beyond me.

    Again, go check Mac'aree. It's not as big a difference as you seem to think. And do remember to consider the lighting in place as well.

    I am mostly happy with them. Sure, it would be nice to have some unique models, but these are pretty good regardless, so another two variants is quite nice. Especially when one of them is the black and white of the Infinite Dragonflight.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    I mean, the one we sort of got to see was basically a big Voidwalker.

    It would be keeping with the nature of the Void if they were rather plastic and not very fixed in shape, though. Evershifting forms and such.

    Are you really just gonna ignore the Eredath and Telogrus screenshots right below?
    Really?

    I know what Eredath looks like.
    It doesn't take much to recognize that the magic used by Sarkareth looks quite a bit different to the magic in those places.

    Well yes, but it's hard to change the habit when you never really go there after the change.

    Yes. Those aren't actually more purple. The magic used by Sarkareth also doesn't really look that much different. It's minor changes that are more art and style evolution and down to the difference in who is using it than a major change in aesthetic.

    The Void parts of Aberrus also have far more purple to them than those concept arts.

    the deep blue cosmic magic in the Sarkareth fight reminded me of Rygelon or the Night warrior

    what kind of evergreen gameplay would you like to see introduced the next expansion?
    - could or not be competitive ?
    - could or not be doable solo ?
    - could or not have room for pvp ?
    - could or not be limited to next expansion continent ?

    For me it would be a sea of thieves type of gameplay where you're always finding more things to go after, and discovering procedurally created stories to deal with, on your way to completing your first obkective.
    It should be :
    - not competitive
    - doable solo, up to 40players
    - war mode compatible
    - limited to kalimdor and eastern kingdoms at first then opened to more

    Though it's always tricky to find the right rewards for such activities. I'm thinking that whatever currency will replace flightstone should be awarded there but also BfA doubloons and island expedition rewards with a deeper cosmetic pool.
