World of Warcraft: Veil of Shadows

[Gourmandise]

He got me at Panda druids tho.

What if bear form is just them bending over on all fours :P

And what was the sauce? These "leaks" are getting so boring.

I'm guessing bernaise

Cat form - Same thing.

I want to see that dash happening

[Nelaphim-EX]

Ugh. If they are 'redoing' the 'old world' again, I will probably pass on the expansion. Cataclysm felt disjointed and a waste (at least to myself - who had no characters to level through it).

[Deleted]

The last thing this game needs it that bitch flip-flopping again. Keep her hating the horde and keep us hating her.

I agree. But after resurrected Illidan being our only hope, Arthas having his humanity intact after stabbing his torn out heart, and Garrosh turning Nazi because Blizz dislikes grey characters, and WoD in general....I won't dismiss an idea just because it sounds bad or crazy.

Ugh. If they are 'redoing' the 'old world' again, I will probably pass on the expansion. Cataclysm felt disjointed and a waste (at least to myself - who had no characters to level through it).

That's exactly how leveling feels like for new characters now.

Worst offender is Durotar:

On the Echo Isles Vol'Jin complains about Garrosh's leadership.

By the time you reach Orgrimmar Vol'Jin not only replaced G-man but died as well.

Leveling before you reach Pandaria is about as enjoyable as Hepatitis. I've tried both.

This is the link he tried to post in case anyone was wondering.

These threads are always entertaining. Yells of "FAKE" will litter the screen, until the official announcement that legitimizes one of the leaks (and there's always at least one). At that point it switches to "well, we've known about that for months!"

Questions about the date aside (perhaps the start of testing?), most of this seems like fairly reasonable expectations for an expansion, though the re-use of pillars seems a bit wishy-washy.

Nah, the reuse of the pillars makes it more legit for me. I mean, ever since Pandaria we have had some sort of hook between the expansions. It can't be simply: While you were away on Argus things happened.

[Tartys]

Veil of Shadows is a reference to STRANGER THINGS Tv show... and it's related to D&D. Suck so bad as a title that can be true ;P

Is the "1.25.18" supposed to be the release date?

What a pity... only for a day or two and could be more credible...


By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hands hath formed the crooked serpent” – (Job 26:1).

Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

[pseudodraco]

It's just a somewhat clever summary of all the assumptions made in the 8.0 speculation thread. That's why some of you think it's plausible. Perhaps one or two of those guesses will come true, but I wouldn't be surprised, if Blizz goes a completely other route.

Yeah, this void and kul'tiras stuff might be like 9.0. I'm thinking 8.0 may just deal with dragons? Like the infinite flight taking advantage of all of azeroth's greatest heroes going to argus (and there's definitely some funky time stuff going when traveling between azeroth and argus) to finally make a move in the open, and the next expansion could be the war of the dragonflights or something like

[TriHard]

No new class or race? Nah, that has to be fake. They can't afford skipping big features like that anymore, they need to have two big selling points each expansion now so they're required to have a new class or race alongside sub-races/new customizations.

- - - Updated - - -

The last time a leak disappointed me this much, it turned out to be the real thing, so I'm not writing it off as an impossibility.

Yeah, that's why I am having an open mind about this, but if they make an expansion without a new class or race, I'm out. We've not had a new race since MoP, it's about fucking time we get a new one.

[Icedcoffeee]

1. Terrible grammar and editing
2. Copy-paste text but picture is from phone
3. Jan. 2018 release
4. Excessive fanservice

7/10 solid fake leak.

[Sargerus]

Draenei Warlocks, nice joke.

Jaina calls upon the Alliance and the Horde to aid in exterminating corruption. LMAO this guy is not even trying.

SETTING
A WORLD AWAKENING
The soul of the nascent Titan within Azeroth stirs as shadow threatens to consume all. Although conquered, the Dark Titan’s defeat has had dire consequences. The world’s torment has shattered a link in the prison of an ancient enemy, and the threads of chaos that lead to its freedom have been drawn. It is up to you to gather the knowledge of old, and venture into forgotten lands to stem the tide of darkness that threatens our world, and ensure this God of the Deep remains imprisoned.
VIEW THE MAP
THE NEW WORLD
Only through the champions of Azeroth, will the answers be found to what truly threatens our world. The corruption seeping into reality has spread throughout all Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms and Northrend. Where new kingdoms have risen, shadow falls. Venture out into the new world and uncover the secrets of what is causing chaos in the realms. The various threats of Azeroth that have sprung up around you are only the beginnings of unfolding stories in greater battles to come.
KUL’TIRAS
The island human capital of Kul’tiras, has fallen to terrible darkness. Lady Jaina Proudmoore has traveled to her homeland, only to find chaos. In desperate hours, Jaina calls upon the Alliance and the Horde to aid in exterminating corruption.The tendrils of evil will spread if not slain at the root, and Azshara’s invading armies welcome this evil. It is our duty to journey to Kul’tiras, and fight to redeem order. However, not all who land on these shores look to preserve peace, and old hatreds are rekindled. Take to the seas in your new Warships to dispose of your enemies, And strike at the heart of shadow.
THE DRAGON ISLES
The Dragon Isles, enchanted lands gleaming with the remaining powers of the aspects, has fallen under control of the Infinite Dragonflight. The Guardian of Time, Nozdormu has fled into the Timeways from their grasp. The rifts they open among the Dragon Isles in their ravenous search bring back familiar and entirely bizarre new enemies with their own motives. The Alliance and Horde face conflict among themselves and these time-anomalies, and Nozdormu is the key to reversing the damage.
NAZJATAR
The ancient lands beneath the sea have been risen to the surface in wonderous glory. Queen Azshara’s wrath threatens all of Azeroth, and the search to destroy her brings the heroes of the Alliance and Horde to her risen empire.The Tidestone of Golganneth has been depleted, for a time. However the potential devastation proven by Nazjatar’s rebirth leaves no time to waste. Storm the tides of doom and reclaim the Tidestone, or drown in the glory of their wicked master.
HEROES & VILLAINS
THE PILLARS OF CREATION
Although key in our victory against the Legion, the pillars have been left in the Tomb of Sargeras, and in our hastiness our battles on Argus left them vulnerable. The strength of the Titans is now in the hands of evil.
QUEEN AZSHARA, EMPRESS OF NAZJATAR
The Tidestone of Golganneth has been acquired by Queen Azshara’s forces, and she has risen her ancient kingdoms from the depths, and in the new dawn of the Nazjatar Empire, Azshara’s experiments have created new life among the Naga in the light of her perfection. But, Tidestone’s might is not what is once was since it was, and Azshara’s wrath can still yet hope to be stopped. Her new armies storm the shores of our homes, and the Tidestone will have the energy for devastation soon. Even without the pillar, the theat Queen Azshara poses could rupture the foundations of our known world.
MAGNI BRONZEBEARD, HAND OF THE EARTHBREAKER
The Hammer of Khaz’goroth, was seized by Magni Bronzebeard as soon as he returned to Azeroth. Suspected to be an uncontrollable defense-mechanism from the World Soul, he was trusted to take it to the Molten Core in Blackrock Mountain. But the seeds of darkness have rooted deep into Azeroth, and horrible truth has been revealed that the King of Diamonds, has been deceived. The whispers from the earth brought darkness into Magni’s mind. Now, the corrupted Dwarven Lord has forged a new army, and seeks to bend the Core of the Earth to even further shatter the world, unleashing his new master and his vile servants.
HAKKAR THE SOULFLAYER
The Tears of Elune, left in the Tomb’s Elven resting grounds has been singing quietly. The connection to the spirit realm vibrates strong there, and the pillar has not gone unnoticed from the other side. A blood-crazed evil stirs in the realm of shadows, and the sanctum has been overrun with fanatical worshippers from Zandalar. These desperate Trolls have taken the Tears and the leftover Engine of Souls to the Hinterlands. The city of Jintha’Alor has been seduced into bringing forth Hakkar’s rebirth with a forgotten Egg, that will become his avatar.
HIGHKEEPER ODYN & RA
The Aegis of Aggramar, once used to shield the Azeroth’s soul from madness, has been taken into friendly hands by Odyn and his Valajar once again. With the Titans imprisoned, the Highkeeper has found new purpose in uniting the remaining Keepers and their cause. Ra and Odyn lead the expedition to acquire the Discs of Norgannon. Where only the gates had been excavated, the city that lay beyond has been open at last. And inside, Uldaman, the Forge of Illumination. A Titan city locked under the deep places of the earth holds secrets to defeating the Old Gods. Only the enemy was a step ahead, and the Discs have been taken by horrors of the deep further into the forgotten vault.
THE INFINITE DRAGONFLIGHT
The Eye of Aman’thul, capped at the bottom of the Tomb, was our key into the Nether and defeating the Legion, as well as the prosperity of the Nightborne. The temporal powers granted by the Eye are now in the hands of the Infinite Dragonflight. Who have stolen the rings away to the Dragon Isles, where the Infinite plans a ritual to corrupt the Aspect of Time, Nozdormu. The quest for immortality has lead others to the Isles, and the events that play out could very well change of the course of destiny.

IF there will be tauren warlocks, there need to be tauren mages first - that's what makes this unconvincing for me the most.

[Tareku]

Archdruid Taran Zhu... LOL

Well I know it's fake but at least it sounds good. And the image looks great!

[Evaddon]

It sounded plausible until you get to the new race combinations, that's when I stopped reading it. lol

[AbalDarkwind]

Yeah, that's why I am having an open mind about this, but if they make an expansion without a new class or race, I'm out. We've not had a new race since MoP, it's about fucking time we get a new one.

If we got subraces, I'd consider that a suitable replacement. Other than that, though, I agree; 8.0 needs to have some new race component.

As for this 'leak', it is fairly believable in content, other than only having three new zones. However, the idea that it was copied from an uncovered, under construction 8.0 website is not very believable. Comparing it to the Legion website, in particular, doesn't help the legitimacy of this one.

I'm not counting this one out yet, but I'm suspicious of the format.

[Nyel]

IF there will be tauren warlocks, there need to be tauren mages first - that's what makes this unconvincing for me the most.

And why does it need Tauren Mages before Tauren Warlocks could be a thing?

[Azzurri]

If one thing is true let it be character customization. F2P games have 10x better character customization that WOW.

[Deleted]

Aren't Orc Warlocks without Orc Mages -currently- a thing?

you can be orc mage since cataclysm

[Arthas242]

Draenei Warlocks, nice joke.

Jaina calls upon the Alliance and the Horde to aid in exterminating corruption. LMAO this guy is not even trying.

Draenei warlocks make perfect sense, they were all over the place in WOD and then later we saw more Eradar in tanann......

the DRAENEI STARTING ZONES literally has you uncover a draenei warlock hiding within ......... Velen even admits there is a use of using the *enemies power*, but that people who use such power should not be trusted.


warlocks in the alliance already hide in basements/cave's...... not hard to explain that a few draenei mages wanted to use dark magic,

also Eradar were made by being infused with fel, not casting it, granted using fel magic does take it toul if YOU use your own lifeforce, which is why our warlocks tend to used other peoples souls.......
