    Also the new leveling event with the bonus bags and bonus consumables sounds sick as hell, kinda reminds me of wotlk classic with the northrend supplies making flask and pots super plentiful which was really fun

    Potentially that we're getting longer (than 12 letter) character name lengths and spaces/apostrophes in names relatively soon.

    Not many people read dialogue round here huh.

    It was the Shadowguard who were leeching the power from L'ure who she absorbed so a case of mistaken identity is already ruled out
    Alleria does not confirm they are shadowguard. She only says "they sound like shadowguard". The same ambiguity she had with assuming Azir taking the dark heart for Xal.

    Alleria is not a "knows everything best" character. She was wrong, multiple times actually since TWW started and before that. She didn't recognized Drenden as Xal, she got played in Ahn'Kahet by Xal. It wasn't until the finale of the 11.0. story quest that she got something right. Alleria is, for all intents and purposes, a unreliable source of information. Heck, the only friendly void aligned character that was actually right was her mentor Locus Walker. Locus Walker revealed that Xal was the Harbinger, Locus Walker recognized the Radiant Song to be similar to what happend to K'aresh.

    Taking Allerias unreliable opinions as gospel has taken many here to the wrong assumption that Azir was working for Xal, while meanwhile all actual evidence, were pointing to a bigger ambiguity, which was in the end proven to be correct. Not Allerias allegations.

    for me as a roleplayer (at least in the past), this is big huge news! Finally we can name our trolls Zul'faram, Zabra'jin, Vol'zul and all the other ways they spell their names. Also elves! Kael'thas!

    some observations form the 11.1.5 icons (nothing mayor)

    a transmog set and weapons' named "corehound", likely for a summer trading post

    a transmog set named "chen", likely the Mists collectors edditon set.

    a transmog set named "fox", likely a tradingpost or shop set.

    a weapon called "darkiron" and some weapon called "drustvar"

    a shoulder piece labeld "karazhan", fits the "medievh hood" we got a while back from the trading post. Also raven mounts.

    a "phoenix" polearm.


    The most interesting of these is for me the drustvar stuff. The icons look a bit like they would have fit in shadowlands, but i could easily see them repurposed for the "rootlands". The rootlands could be easily drust themed to some degree.

    That was my first thought as well.



    The hedgehogs are similarly quite harronir looking, especially with the leaf saddles and the very harronir purple variant.

    also, hedgehogs and the haranir both have quillons (like we got matching mounts for niffen and kobolds). There could be something here. Perhaps in 11.1.7. we go to the rootlands as a side zone similar to siren isle.

    Sure. Or in 11.2.

    i don't think 11.2. as it will be the climax of the story that will pivot us to Midnight, and here the ethereal stuff makes too much sense. But, as a 11.1.7, it would fit. Siren Isle was also a smaller zone, which would be enough to wrap up the rootlands/haranir story, as they have not much going on as far as we know. itemsicons and PVP tabard are indicating ethereal for the last raid. Could it be in the rootlands? possible, but unlikely.

    what if the 11.2 raid is us dealing with etherals in the root lands to try and get the dark heart back and after we kill the final boss xal'atah beats us through the portal to K'aresh and closes it leaving us to wonder what happens

    then pivoting into xal beating back the etherals and reclaiming the heart leading to the etherals seeking us out to help stop our common enemy giving us etherals as a new race in midnight with xal returning to lead or set in motion the void invasion with the dark heart or w/e

    Weird how the void jewel panther talks about Legion when I'm sure it was Pandaria those mounts were recipes.

    As someone who ran horrific visions for about 2 years after release just to get mail muncher, seeing all these new mounts added to that same legacy system is giving me hives. I'm already tired boss.

    Yes. Exactly. 11.2 will be the climax of the story. What has the story been so far?

    You say that there's not much going as far as we know, but TWW's main plot has been about Black Blood. Even before announcement, one of our two initial teases of the expansion was the story of how the roots got there. The launch cinematic for TWW has more time dedicated to Orweyna than the Nerubians who form 1/3 of its primary races (and are the first tier). In that same cinematic, when the Nerubians show up near the end, what are they doing? Shady things with Black Blood and Old God remains. Our intro to the expansion was a video about Xal'atath getting the Nerubians on board with transforming themselves with it, and they are shouting about ascension on the shores of the Isle of Dorn and in Hallowfall where they are attacking the Arathi and Earthen, we have to go past the extremely huge set pieces of giant roots (next to a suspicious large open area) to get down into Azj-kahet, where a significant plot point is the Black Blood at multiple points in the campaign, and in one of its dungeons, and its raid, and that Black Blood (and Harronir) returned as a core plot point of Undermine.

    Yeah imagine teasing K'aresh heavily in march 2025, just to go there in the final patch of Midnight, so around January 2027 in a best case scenario? Doesn't make sense IMO.
    Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

    619 is too low item level to be relevant in current content. It is just an insanity counter for the visions.

    I doesn't. We are doing Cosmic Void on Ka'resh instead.

    Rootlands is a scrapped storyline.

    You mean exactly like them teasing Xal'atath in July of 2023, only for us to still not have had an actual proper confrontation with her in March of 2025?

    Scrapped how? 11.1 doubled down on Orweyna and the blood, and 11.1.5 has more blood talk and also suspiciously harronir-y assets.

    Unrelated.

    We are talking about zones, not villains. With your reasoning we might have to wait forever for K'aresh, as Sargeras has been the main villain of WoW since the early days and we have yet to fight him.

    DF teased the Emerald Dream and delivered.

    SL teased a First One zone and delivered.

    BfA teased N'zoth and delivered (not in a new zone, though).

    Legion teased Argus and delivered.

    WoD teased Tanaan and delivered. Not really a tease in this case, to be fair, as we knew that it was coming from the beginning.

    The rest of the expansions did not really have new zones in the same way as we have them today.

    Cyrce's Circlet shows as 619 in the files too despite actually starting at 639 before being upgraded. I wouldn't be surprised if this were the same.

    They said we would know where we would be going next by the end of 11.1. storyline.




    That doesn't look like Rootlands.
