blizzcon leak

[ogd84638230878893]

-Code name: Rise of the Fallen Prince

-Expansion will be presented at Blizzcon 2019, after revealing Warcraft III: Reforged launch date.

-It will feature the comeback of Arthas, following Reforged’s lore Retcons

-Arthas will not be happy with WoTLK events, but he won’t definitely be the villiain of this expansion, although we will believe so.

-New zones: Northeron and Quel’Thalas. Besides having only two zones at start, they will be massively big, with a really long storyline touching Lordaeron survivors and isolated High Elves

-Factions would be merged since 8.3 so this wouldn’t be an xpac feature

-New races: High Elves (Brand new model, not related to previous elves models, unique customizations etc) for the Alliance, and Ogres (All tribes united, both male and female with two-headed option) for the Horde. No Allied Races planned at launch.

-New class: Dragonsworn. Mail class with three specs: tank, heal, and a unique dps playstile (mixing dragon magic and melee attacks). Some gameplay aspects involve the use of one-handed weapons and offhand, Dragonflight oath that would work like Zandalari Loa election. All races are eligible to become Dragonsworn, including Allied Races. They start at level 1 and will take a relevant position in 9.2’s Dragon Isles lore.

-Level system revamped. All 120 characters will become level 50 and the new max level would be 60. This cap will not be increased in following expansions, introducing a substitute mechanic that’s still being discused.

-World revamp following level revamp. You will still be able to visit the old world through CoT. Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend, Pandaria, Kezan, Kul Tiras, Zandalar, Broken Isles and Outland are included in this update, leaving Draenor for a future update.

-Almost every quest will have choices, this is a change that has come to say long-term. The team is excited about creating branching stories, but there will still be a canon outcome of each one. Obviously major lore quests will remain linear for the sake of narrative.

-Housing will finally be a thing. It will be similar to Wildstar’s. There will be a Guild version, named Fortresses.

-Following Housing, there will be two new professions: Lumberjack and Woodworking, they will offer the vast majority of housing decorations, bows and crossbows, although other professions will be able to craft some decos.

-Artifact system will not be present in this expansion

-Island Expeditions and Warfronts will be still accesible via NPCs, both soloable.

Mod Bump due to time spent in Moderation Queue.

No mate, Arthas is Dead and Fordragon is the new Lich king, nice try though. An "E" for effort.

Just lock this. These leaks are just stupid.

[Byleth]

0/10 - This is terrible, would not recommend

[melzas]

Cute try. Next time you want to post your fan fiction dont try to disguise it as "leak", everyone can see this is BS from miles away.

It's also cute how you know what team is excited about. LOL

[Holdodlig]

This is one of the most lame attempt to write a leak.

[VoodooMon]

Poor. Surprised you even bothered to post this

Remember that there is a megathread for the Blood Elves vs. High Elves debate, so please avoid that topic in this thread.

[Omedon]

Oh neat another wildly speculative "leak," it's fun to speculate so let's take a-

Reforged’s lore Retcons

Aaand that's a first round TKO! Thanks for playing, next!

You thought this merited a mod bump? Northeron and Quelthalas in 2019?

[Shakana]

Harry Potter and blizzard, nice try

[Aurrora]

You forgot new class: Necrotinker Ranger - Raises dead machines back to life, and also shoots things.
Also, if factions are merged why are there new races for the Horde and the alliance?

>They already have a WC3:RF launch date, that's December 31st
>Arthas is dead.
>Arthas is dead.
>Northeron? Northerend? Quel'Thalas is already a zone, Belf starting zone.
>I don't doubt this tbh.
>I doubt this, not the ogres but the high elves that would make 3 different elves for alliance and once again, high elves would not look any different than blood elves for they're the same race.
>I can see this being a reality at some point tbh.
>Can see this, probably true.
>Can see this as well.
>This would be interesting if true.
>After WoD's garrison failed, I doubt they try to do housing concepts ever again.
>This would be great if true, but I doubt they get rid of that mechanic.
>I don't doubt this.

Probably buying into troll post but yeah, my thoughts.

[Echoherb]

Eh, that would me adding another melee cless, which at this point would be really stupid..

[Omedon]

This leak is garbage, but they're never going to add another class that can't push the LFX queue along for the majority DPS playerbase as a tank. Tanks are melee. Any new class will tank in at least one spec.

[Wyrt]

"Factions are merged"
"High elves for alliance, ogres for horde"

Seriously? You couldn't even keep shit together for that long?

[AlmightyGerkin]

You forgot new class: Necrotinker Ranger - Raises dead machines back to life, and also shoots things.

That is not the new class. It is the NecroSworn Tinker Ranger. Can raise dead machines, morph into a robotic dragon and able to use abilities unseen from wow at all.

That killed it right there. They won't be completely redoing every single zone from every single Expansion in the entire game in a single Expansion.
