    He’s been trying since classic about time he got some results.
    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.

    This is the first confirmed change to a (still stuck in) Cata zone we've heard in a long time. Bluzz is usually scared shitless of doing this (see: Exploring books) so I think the confirmation here is telling.

    Similar to how the Orc heritage quest has them bless Durotar to have more vegetation. So the devs are locking in a more forested/jungley Eastern Kalimdor?

    Speaking of the Thrall short story. Did anyone else think they were about to mention the Botani had taken refuge in the Wailing caverns?
    Probably a bit too much in terms of setup given it's a short story, but still.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    A very Tanaan Jungle styled Durotar and Barrens will be cool but will also feel quite jarring next to zones such as Ashenvale, Azshara and Mulgore.

    I do think the Barrens especially will be the zone that continues the Breakers vs Primal theme of Draenor. I could see Stonetalon Mountains being home to the Saberon, too.

    I think the route they may be going for is "different forms of Life" so we have forests in the north, jungles below, and then plains further south. And I think they will be preserving parts of Barrens as looking like the classic form.

    Desolace will be even more forest-y than it was in Cata but probably everything south of that will remain fairly desert-y. No idea what their plans are for Thousand Needles.

    It is not really a change. The area around Wailing Caverns was forested back in Cata. It had lingering Nightmare corruption in it that Naralex was fixing in Cataclysm.

    Huh, I guess I never quested there. That looks good and its not a future tease after all.

    Now let's talk about how Dark Han will be related to the Dark Heart.

    Got to say, the level of class changes in this beta is crazy. I thought a lot of classes were in a solid state at the end of DF, once again have to learn everything from the start.

    Especially as they initially said they wouldn't do that and instead focus on getting the hero talents right instead of re-do everything.

    And all the reworks seem to be good to great.
    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.

    Lol. Only 2,5 mins
    Edit: I forgot DF also initially had only a 2,5 min version and got expanded later.

    Login screen still shit tho.

    Let's hope that it'll be a login screen that changes over time

    Didn't get that feel. Arcane for example got simplified and hero talents in general do not add much complexity. This is nowhere near the jump we had with talent overhaul in DF.

    I wonder if the 'Midnight' log-in screen will be the Sunwell, with a shadowy Void background.

    MUCH better main theme than Dragonflight.

    Not really mad about the login screen but would be nice if they changed it. Have they ever changed it before?
