Already out of underground?

Thank fuck.

Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren—an electrifying storm crow mount

Could this be the unsued storm crow finally making it to the game?

As I said in some previous post, Khaz Algar map has 3 empty spots:

1) On top there is place for new island
2) next to Azj'Kahet is most likely Rootlands
3) right to Ringing Deeps is place for (imo) either Undermine or some kind Azeroth core.

My money still for 11.1 in Rootlands and 11.2 deeper into Coreway. We should know for sure in 2 weeks.

Already out of underground?

Would be awesome if you can fly from Dorn to new island and then into Hallowfall.

Thank fuck.

Don't get too excited, there's a good chance we'll dig deeper down afterwards.

Looks like a mix between Gorgrond, Mechagon, Tiraguard Sound and Waking Shores in terms of style

I've never talked to you about anything. I don't know who you are, and you don't know the motivation/intentions behind my work because you never asked.

Stop lying about this to make your arguments seem legitimate.

Go ahead and please, critique in any manner but don't speak about my intentions like you know me. You can't know.

Carry on forum, but take this for what it is ^^

Because we talked on YouTube. It's a different account, but I did chat with you in the comments section of your video. If I may, I'm "Preds43". No need to assume I'm lying about something all because my MMO-C account has a different username.

I can provide screenshots of it, but know that, from what I saw with your explanation, it seemed emotion driven, especially when you said the First Ones rob the Titans of a role they have "been established to have had for a while now", which I find confusing, as the Titans were only ever stated in official guidebooks and whatnot to be "beings who brought order to the universe". No creator role or anything, beyond what guys like Algalon say.

Feels random tho.

Stealth Drop lol

So, is the Kezan image on one of the computer screens a coincidence or?

What is this patch, I don't even.

- Dull, generic biome. Dry sandy cliffs. One colour.

- Essentially no features, just copy-pasted Mechagon stuff. No class/race combos, even?

- Only transmog shown or mentioned was old, unused pieces?

- Very vague story. Kul Tirans mined Azerite but vanished. Now goblins want it. Yay.

Benefit of the doubt etc. Maybe the details will make it sound more fun. But if this is all we're getting to play until around March 2025, following the Anniversary event patch, then BIG OOF for TWW's early patch content.

Let's hope Warcraft Direct at least gives us something on the horizon to get excited over.

It's a mini patch, but yeah, it ain't for me.

11.1 is the big thing regardless.

It's a .7 patch. Not sure what you were expecting from a minor update.

[MauroDiogo]

For a .7 patch it's actually pretty loaded.

We get the Island but the continuation of some plot threads.

Dealing with the Kirin Tor and aftermath of Dalaran blowing up AND the prologue for 11.1? Kul Tiran & Human Arathi ears! GIMME IT NOW!

[Kiivar86]

Could this be the unsued storm crow finally making it to the game?

That's what I'm assuming.

Anyway this is pretty much just the Forbidden Reach 2.0. It even comes with an upgrade-able ring like it did.

My eye is more drawn to this:

Delve into the aftermath of Dalaran's fall in The War Within epilogue questline—the Kirin Tor must confront their past mistakes and decide on the future course of their people.

Seems kinda early to have an epilogue?

Continue the story of The War Within and uncover a familiar face in the darkness.

Wonder who that could be.

She's got Kezan in the background...

It's a .7 patch. Not sure what you were expecting from a minor update.

Especially when this is essentially a "bonus" patch. 11.0.5 was supposed to be the last patch of 2024 according to the roadmap. I'm sure we'll get a 2025 roadmap at the direct. (But if we're not getting druid, shaman or paladin for all in 2025 just pack it in.)

What exactly did you expect from a minor patch? The fact that we get anything at all besides copy-pasted events, dailies, and a smattering of mounts being dredged from the files is already pretty massive. The only other minor patch that has really done anything like this is 10.0.7 with the Forbidden reach getting a tiny makeover compared to the Dracthyr intro. And to a lesser extent 7.3.5 with a single questline in post-sword Silithus.

It doesnt look like a lot. But it's more content in a new location. And if you absolutely loathe it then just wait another 8 weeks or so for the next major patch.

[Valysar]

The ring is kinda lazy, a copy paste of the Forbidden Reach one

[Alanar]

Thank fuck.

Yes, if you watch the video, one of them talks about that he says: people have seen these mounts in game, but are unused. Its time or been unused long enough.
Followed up by a small clip of that exact blue stormcrow.

So in short: Yes 100%.

I wonder if there will be a questline to explain the human ear options, or if we are just left to assume the backstory on our own.
Obviously not a stretch to assume that it's just meant to indicate someone being a half-elf, but still.

I would guess the Kirin Tor stuff is there to build up to whatever they will be doing in Midnight and TLT. Both of which seems like they should have Dalaran present in some form. Midnight due to the crater of Dalaran, and TLT due to WotLK nostalgia.

[JDBlou]

Story Prologue for the 11.1 Campaign
Continue the story of The War Within and uncover a familiar face in the darkness.

I would put dollars to donuts that this familiar face is Gallywix leading to Undermine in 11.1, "goblinraid" datamine remains undefeated.

[Alanar]

Hey, pointy ears for humans. Small W.

Very small.

Seems like Kezan is a definite for 11.1. Now it's just a question of whether it is the zone, dungeon, raid, or a combination of the three.

Except for the part where it has its own visible model that the player character will wear. Which is a small step towards ring transmogs of some kind. Similar to how we now have backpacks, wings, or whatever asa back transmog rather than just flat capes.
