the leak above me is too good to be true, so, fake.

true, that's like a best case scenario lmao. it that all happens, we eating good

[Khaza-R]

Cinematics will do that to you. See: BFA Greymane.

Or Sylvanas human teeth situation.

[Cheezits]

Northeron mentioned, not happening.

If they need a random island that is not Quel'danas Northeron would fit as we don't exactly know what happened to it (Cata devs said it sank but they also said that about Zandalar).

[Nibelheimy]

The banana ruined the leak.

My God, not again.

Destroyed, not sunk. It's also the old name for most of the Twilight Highlands. Your reasoning (comparing it to Zandalar) is off; Apples and oranges.

Cata lore is bad and they are constantly retconning it. If they want a Wildhammer island the opportunity is there.

12.0 is going to be set IN Quel'thalas, though - we've known this from day one. Why would one of the zones randomly be miles away from the rest of the expansion? Would potentially work as a patch zone, but I just don't see it being a thing in 12.0 myself.

Edit:

I don't disagree with this tbf.

dynamic ground mounts worldwide, rocket boost speed, double jump, throw turtle shell to dismount enemy players or banana peels to slow

Yeh, I'm not sure MS would wanna brave a lawsuit from nintendo over this one.

[Vakir]

I can buy it besides that it's very much "too good" to be true.

Voidrender is not great but it also strikes me as a realistic Blizzard specialization name, especially with how edgy the DH ones are.

[Xeladriel]

The banana ruined the leak.

[Sondrelk]

The banana ruined the leak.

That's what sold it for me actually. I could easily see it being added solely as a nod to Mario Kart, and for that to be the thing they expect the players to latch on to.

[Cheezits]

Also this would explain why 11.2.5 is pretty nothingburger for content if 11.2.7 is huge.

[Vakir]

Which one are you referring to?

The feature to "make friends or more than friends" with characters in one leak that sounds extremely fake.

[JMitchy96]

I don't see them bothering to put more effort into a "dynamic riding" system after Undermine - I don't think it went down too well with most players. It also doesn't really fit the setting of the expansion too well - why do we need dynamic ground mounts when we can already Dragonride in every new zone?

[Dvalin]

Cata lore is bad and they are constantly retconning it. If they want a Wildhammer island the opportunity is there.

They're not going to do this, as the name 'Northeron' has been used for regions of the Twilight Highlands 4-5 more times in other sources post-Cata. The connection its old version had to Lordaeron, was because it was the first WIP name for the Hinterlands/Aerie Peak.

Besides, the developers have never done something like this in the past. IF they want to add Wildhammer Dwarfs in Quel'thalas, they will probably use another name. But I doubt they'll get their own sub-region or whatsoever.

[Raetary]

Yes but didn't you die shortly into Legion by using Surrender to Madness?

I never specced into it

One can hope...

Really the mario cart leak is the one that sounds realistic?

It also doesn't really fit the setting of the expansion too well - why do we need dynamic ground mounts when we can already Dragonride in every new zone?

Well, ground mounts are pretty much a dead feature outside of PVP and a few specific areas. Why not improve them?
