Blizzcon Disappointment, FINAL 11.0 Predictions & Blizzcon Bingo Card! The Weekly Reset

[@bennaeboz]

I'm just going to miss the world design panels where they showed us the zones in WoW editor. It was always so interesting to see & hear how they built the zones

[@Trazynn]

And the only moment you could really heckle the developers.

[@tangentkatz]

Fun watching this after Blizzcon. "We're going home" reference might have been the most accurate prediction of them all.

[@nonsenceman]

Completely honest the Q&As were always cringe to watch with like 10% of them being actually good questions.

[@Legendszguild]

Calling it now, we will finally get a long awaited runemaster class.

[@Paledog1966]

​@@Legendszguildbut necromancer 😢

[@captainwhatthefuck2405]

​@@LegendszguildTinker pls

[@skeliskull]

I think its more about community. Back in the day it was a chance to ask a question you were passionate about from the people who directly worked on the thing and are also passionate about it. I’d it was opposite like 10% of the questions were cringey at best. Honestly no Q&A is kind of lame and does show how blizzard’s culture is so corporate now they aren’t even willing to let their community ask them questions face to face anymore.

[@benjaminbaer5485]

I mean, its a marketing event people pay to go to. How could the question be smart or interesting?

[@Lain3695]

A world revamp can't just be new buildings and trees... The zones must be bigger, with actual elevation and all the beautifying the current zones have. Its a huge amount of work! Hopefully one day it will happen! I'm predicting we go to other side of Azeroth but it could be anything at this point :D

[@ChinnuWoW]

But more importantly, wtf are we going to do there? More generic events? Bosses and treasures?

[@renaultellis6188]

World remake. They did that with Outland-Draenor. They could remake the whole continents from scratch

[@SuzakuX]

Yeah, I don't want a "revamp," I want a rebuild. Use the original continents as a blueprint but build them from the ground up at the scale of Dragonflight zones. Maybe even combine the current regions comprised of smaller zone into a few huge "megazones," like just "Quel'thalas" with Silvermoon City, Quel'danas, Eversong, the Ghostlands, and Zul'Aman as subzones.

[@skeliskull]

Agreed if they do a world revamp it needs to be MASSIVE. Imagine if kalimdor and eastern kingdoms were remade to the quality that DF zones are today. With increases in scale and everything. It would be a huge undertaking but if they did it would probably be the best thing they could do to secure the games future for the next decade

[@Maria_Erias]

@@skeliskull They'd only do that if they did a Cataclysm-style revamp of Old World questing, too. Otherwise, they'll never put in the time and effort just to make them look prettier. I mean, hell. They can't even put in the time and effort to give us completed expansions anymore without cutting entire patches' worth of story and gameplay content. The only way I could ever see that happen is if the Old World gets its own dedicated expansion, which if 11.0 is Dwarf Cousins Beyond the Seas, means 12.0 at the earliest.

[@duanefalk219]

Im hoping for announcement that they will loosen armor type limits on old transmog- you get an item from old raid, it goes into your appearance tab regardless of its and your armor type

[@Khadharphak]

By my paladin's tired feetsies traipsing all over the universe for pretty plate, _please._ The number of times I've done a raid on her and gotten zero items then do it on my hunter and get *all* the plate

[@z3phos437]

if they doi this id be more inclined to do tmog runs

[@1Forn61]

Yup and to that list i would add some support specs for Classes and perhaps generally a new spec like a Spellbreaker/Spellblade Mage Spec is overdue esp since Mages have to be in close combat anyways lol. We have Glaives now aswell..before we had enough encounters with those type of Mages too or they keep that vibe for a Warden Class in the Future Copiumshuttle.

[@ButtslammerBob]

god, please, there's no reason getting mogs should be such a pain

[@Maria_Erias]

@@ButtslammerBob Yes, there is. Because it takes longer to farm, thus boosting those engagement metrics.

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

I find it infinitely amusing that the stock picture for the Q&A panel is Taliesin holding up his mic to a _guy in a red shirt._

[@Shervin86]

I wish I could attend blizzcon one day. Being all the way in Iran makes it so hard. I feel so separated from the wow community. All the best to you two; hope you have a blast.

[@AtillaDaPun]

Thank you for brightening my day! Got some less than fun stuff I gotta do today, but having laughed a bit now I feel more ready for the day. Cheers! Have a fun trip to the US!!

[@EyeKahnography]

Hoping the rest of your day improves and you get good news from Blizzcon too there ^_^

[@EyeKahnography]

the VA panel for OW and WoW was always what I waited excitedly for.. Hoping to get to check off your Bingo box for Shaman or Druids for everyone though. Have we not done enough to save all the damn plants and rocks and trees and stuff we don't get to be a goblin Druid? I am looking forward to it. Really do miss those VA panels tho.

[@Juniper_Rose]

I won't rest until I can play a Troll shama- wait shit this only works for demon hunter and evoker now doesn't it

[@Alifewithmax]

In regards to a "new player experience" I am shocked that no one has considered that Dragonflight is going to be part of that. Currently new players are dropped into BFA with little context outside of some opening quests. However, Dragonflight gives the perfect starter experience. In DF the players are (more or less) just Adventurer's again. The main embassy area where both Horde and the Alliance are has some characters from Exiles Reach. All the different profession trainers are present and nearly every race is present too. And that's just the first hour or two... Honestly the entire time I've leveled my character (and alts) it really struck me that DF could be a pretty good "new player experience". Tonally this works too as DF was a sort of soft reboot for Wow. There's more that can be said, but yeah it was just an interesting thought I had.

[@charlylmaoo5953]

That is actually pretty widely believed. I think most would be shocked if Dragonflight isnt the new levelup experience for new players

[@Boxkar24]

Just to add to that, just a touch, there was a dude who came over to wow from FFXIV and didn't know anything about the lore. Poor guy was utterly confused as to who anyone was and irritated that the characters never explained who they were, what they were about or where they came from. Only to then bugger off after a few quests. I totally agree with the idea of DF being for new players due to not relying too heavily on the past for what it's trying to accomplish. However I doubt it would happen due to the nature of the stat squish that took place before hand.

[@myzorbos]

it will be the Isles imho. they even have the Garricks and their horde equivalent from tutorial island RIGHT at the beginning

[@TheDeadAreLiving]

I have a suggestion for the spare space on the Blizzcon Bingo Card. Something Blizz themselves mentioned a couple of years ago that they would be doing but as of yet still haven't done so. The Archaeology revamp.

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

Personally I love that the Q&A might be an hour of questions and answers instead of 30% guild shoutouts.

[@questforadventurechannel7065]

One of the highlights of the last Blizzcon I was able to attend was meeting you two! Hope to run into you guys again :)

[@TheRubberDuck77]

With the boats prediction... the first time I saw, and then the first time I played Sea of Thieves I immediately thought this NEEDS to be in WoW, I have been playing this franchise since Warcraft 2, and a big part of that game was the navy, heck I did beat many a map specifically with my navy even when you shouldn't have, i always made a huge navy lol Could you imagine that, you get the solo/duo ship for you or you and a buddy, thats your personal mount/boat and you can get many like mounts, then you can get the generic party ship, or maybe it's just a larger version of the party leader's solo ship. and the huge guild ships. Your guild crest on on the flag or even on the sail, flying big and bold. At the beginning of the expansion the storms are too bad for flying BUT are perfect for using your ships, plenty of wind to go very fast, then in the first or second or so patch, you've taught your mount to fly in the storms or they have been settled down some through some boss fight in a dungeon or raid. Possibly only dynamic flight will be allowed and you have to actively avoid updrafts and down drafts ect

[@Ghostalking]

Priest has two heals, i could see Discipline turned into a support spec. Also, while there’s no “borrowed power”, the high accessibility of tier gear, which greatly increases your performance, can be seen as a boost at least for more casual players

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

You going on about Anduin missing when Brann somehow missed both the Shadowlands _and_ Dragon Isles even though the Eternal Ones, the First Ones and the Aspects are tied to the Titans. Especially the Eternal Ones and the First Ones though. You really can't explain that. Guy would have such a field day in Zerth Mortis I swear.

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

7:07 You know what, that really doesn't surprise me for all of the wrong reasons. Wording it as "they'll just have to deal" is _not_ okay.

[@ryakkan]

I would love a world revamp. However, I would also love to not have to deal with so many currencies. I was away from WoW for around three months and coming back to it I was so confused on what things went to where. It's so convoluted to keep track of these baubles for upgrades or currency to buy this. The Forbidden Reach had so much nonsense that was just too damned busy.

[@cleversonsutil4495]

I have two bags full of "currencies/reagents/coins". It's annoying!

[@minimcune]

I ask this in good faith; what is the appeal of a world revamp? I don't understand the fascination. Old world has 75% more polygons would be fun for a minute, then the nostalgia wears off then its gg. That's just how it seems to me but I'm obviously missing something critical!

[@Wayclarke]

@@minimcune I don't know about others, but other than the emotional impact of seeing beloved places get improved (hopefully) and get new stories I actually would hope a world revamp would fix the new player leveling issue that exists today. A revamp without creating a streamlined leveling experience is pointless because today's system is probably better at pushing new players away than anything. It still drops them in BfA I think at level 10 right? Read a review on Rock Paper Shotgun (I think) saying that they felt so taken out of the experience when they ended up there that they couldn't continue. World revamp + new player experience is probably needed to get more new people playing the game (and a difficulty toggle ofc).

[@minimcune]

@@Wayclarke appreciate the reply! Ok right so it's mostly about leveling experience fair enough. Can imagine it might vastly improve it. I suppose my view is that once people get that instant 'emotional impact' as you put it, in fairly certain that would wear off pretty quick. Like the majority of players don't just run around leveling all the time. I host can't imagine thinking 'oh I wanna go to the new revamped barrens' over say, the new expansion zone where there's actual things to do. All feels pretty RP to me. So appreciate your sharing your insights though!

[@ryakkan]

@@minimcune You make a great point. I guess what I would want is a living world. As an Alliance Human you start in Elwyn Forest. However, once you've quested through that and leveled you move on. I would want the world tor evolve in such a way that once you completed an ara maybe you need to go back there for some other reason down the line where the NPCs knew you helped them in the past or drove boars off, and have something else for you.

[@leocall7173]

I'd love for them to bring back something like the legendary ring / cloak questline at the end of the expansion. It gives that small borrowed power feel at the end, which is when you want to feel really powerful anyways.

[@darryleldon1284]

I don't see a new playable race but I wouldn't be surprised to see way more new character customization options in lieu of it..

[@mk_gamíng0609]

I just want a Void elf option that stops you from turning purple when your passive activates

[@Jacknorrington]

@@mk_gamíng0609 I was thinking about making a void elf because I've never made one before but now that i'm finding out that they are always purple, i may be less interested

[@embersarcade]

Hey, Tali and Evi, just wanted to say that I always look forward to your content, even if I'm not actively playing World of Warcraft lately. Thanks for all the good work you do!

[@Kolvarg]

I will say this: Next year it will be World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary. If there's any time to release something special, it would be next year.

[@brossjackson]

"bard" class = Lorewalker Monks would be really cool.

[@cxfxcdude]

Gods i would KILL to have a lorewalker class

[@SensationalBanana]

When flying over Kalimdor and EK, I am struck by how much DEAD space there is... So many zone borders that are dummy thicc for no good reason, hidden empty lakes at the top of zone borders, and the zones are just soooooo tiny when compared to Dragonflight zones... And they said flying makes the world smaller, LOL! No, a small world made for running on foot, is small. I really hope they'll revamp EK and Kalimdor, and do so with Dragonflight design in mind when it comes to size, whilst sticking to the themes of the old zones.

[@dr.zoidberg8666]

Imagine if Khaz Algar was a multi-layered underground Suramar.

[@Filiral]

I wonder if some of the schedule "streamlining" is a result of the actor's strike, so they had to cut some of the fun voice talent panels (or theyre having them and im just not seeing on schedule). I know several people who focused solely on blizzcon planning have left company, but I hope the scope broadens a bit again in the future

[@kevinsmith-cb2xz]

I think there's still a lot more to explore beneath the Stormpeaks. They created a lot of content and we never truly explored it. That could be part of the pre-expansion

[@darryleldon1284]

Grizzled Anduin.. Tali was right..

[@HeyheyReirei]

I love bingo card season! Only things I would add are “dungeon/m+ changes (6-man, etc)” and “raid changes (new difficulty, 10-man, etc)”.

[@Kittiezzx]

the sincere chuckle i had within the first 7 seconds of this video was pure serotonin

[@Mycooloriginal]

Warcraft 4 RTS. (Opening ceremony) A new story emerges, alternate timeline taking place after WC3. Uses assets from Heroes of the Storm. New playable races, evolving maps with NPCs / Raid Bosses for resources. New style of RTS, new gameplay.

[@cheezyflags]

I agree with Tali. If there was a borrowed power system that would be seasonal and capped, kinda like Conquest points untill you reach max level or whatever, patch 10.2 would seem more exciting and you could grind this by doing anything you're interested in world quests, PVE, or PVP. It would have to do something cool for your class or something, rather than just a dps boost because thats lame.

[@stephiec4062]

Unless the borrowed power is exciting and customizable like the Legion artifact weapons, then they shouldn't bother. Giving us another invisible item that solely exists as another talent tree is terribly lazy and boring.

[@Retrox1989]

I won't miss the Q&A. Too much time was spent "I'm from X server, in X guild, can i get a For the Horde/Alliance? Wooo yeah"

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

17:48 They could go the FFXIV route and give it to Hunter like how BRD is the Job upgrade of the RNG Class lol.

[@nigelhirth2181]

Can you imagine the absolute shitstorm-of-the-century that would occur if the biggest WoW announcement at Blizzcon is just 10.3, with no news of an expansion at all. It would be like Revenge of the Nerds meets The Purge on the streets of Anaheim. Glorious.

[@Kimcheejigae]

What trips me out is my first character i made when wow came out will be 20 years old next year. let that sink in...

[@niteshimmeror9847]

Having the first Blizzcon in years, it would be very disappointing if they did not announce big changes in the next expansion. I miss our major hubs.. tired of islands.

[@hwaybertdoesgaming482]

My greatest desire would be some iteration of hardcore dungeons as a new challenge mode. I have been playing hardcore for the past few months and absolutely love the more cautious and calculated dungeon runs. Not to mention the exhilarating close calls. I would be very excited to have this as an endgame opportunity instead of the meaningless turbo-grind that is mythic plus dungeons. Behind this, would be some sort of prestige system that would allow max level players to essentially go again and level back up from level 1 to some extent, unlocking cosmetic rewards similar to the trading post as they go. Similar to classic hardcore, I think this would be a great way to not only make use of all their older content, but also revitalize the world as players continuously return to level 1 and begin their journey once more. As for predictions, while I wouldn't exactly expect this to be the case, I could honestly see a world revamp being possible, at least in theory. It would rhyme quite well with the potential release of cataclysm classic releasing in a similar period of time, preserving that version of the world, as live moves forward once more. The amount of work it would take would be extreme however. I would not mind in the slightest if blizzard decided to double down on enhancing the fundamentals of the game by going back, and more or less rebuilding the original continents of the world with a new and improved leveling experience that new and old players alike could experience and enjoy.

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

lol what? Did you just say M+, a form of progression that is only capped by how good you are, that is actually challenging, with interesting trash and boss designs, that rotates every season now so you get fresh content... did you call that a grind when comparing it to CLASSIC dungeons??? Classic dungeons which offer zero challenge, even when given arbitrary challenges like not dying, are insanely grindy, have no interesting mechanics on trash or bosses, and offer the badly itemized gear that is prevalent in all of classic. Also, that's while having to play poorly designed classes that have zero depth or skill. And your statement was unironic? Are... are you okay? Yes I have played hardcore (both the addon version and official) with 4 level 60's (3 during the ssf version and 1 for official). I also played vanilla a million years ago. So I am a fan of it, but It also is awful in soo many ways and retail is a far better game.... including m+ (the best thing they have ever added into the game).

[@hwaybertdoesgaming482]

I'm not sure if you fully read my comment... I've simply had my perspective changed after having played and enjoyed classic hardcore and would like to bring elements of it to live to make parts of the game feel more meaningful. Right now whenever I play on live or even classic wrath of the lich king, it's a giant rush to the end. I'd like content that focuses more on enjoying the journey, instead of being focused on finishing as fast as possible. Also if you think mythic plus isn't a grind, you might want to find a dictionary haha. In the end these are things that I personally would like to see. My own opinions, nothing more. Glad to hear you enjoy both versions of the game.@@TahiriVeila13ABY

To be fair, you can't have a voice actor panel when the SAG-AFTRA strike against Activision is still on-going.

[@joshuadoehr5468]

EK revamp. Tunnel to Khaz Algar via redone Ironforge. Classic + new zone post WOLK, pre-cata.

[@Loremastrful]

Safe journey you two. If you are stuck for a meal idea I have two suggestions. 1) Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner over at Knotts Berry Farm. 2) Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles down the road on Harbor Blvd. I wouldn't say they are authentic California cuisine, but both carry big SoCal atmosphere.

[@SECTOR-si2cb]

At 5:14 in the video, and all I can think about is CitizenCon two weeks ago. It was back-to-back panels on a single stage, and I will be honest, that made for a very enjoyable at-home viewing experience. Idk how everyone else felt, but it was rather fun being able to just sit and watch a constant stream of information for a major chunk of both weekend days without the need to go back and watch missed panels; I feel that this may be a pretty swell situation for anyone who's deeply invested in Blizz as a whole. For folks like me though who mostly prefer WoW and don't hold much interest in anything else, it may be a bit more of a relaxing, albeit staggered experience. Just going to have to set alarms for myself to get the stream open so I don't miss them. Edit: Alright, sucks about the lack of a Q&A panel. Bummer that.

[@HomelessMovies]

Hopefully I'll see y'all there :)

[@blades4072]

Has anyone noticed that the first panel is usually 30 minutes after the opening show. But this time there are 90 minutes in between. Hidden panel?

[@duanefalk219]

Exactly. I suspect they’re afraid people would stop- but the items still need to drop so would still be doing multiple runs, just not as frustrating

[@daniellucas5522]

The raid helm enchant is a mild borrowed power. Maybe too small a one to count, but definitely there.

[@TheDooft]

I don't see the point of a world revamp without reason to dive in it. In my opinion they should first fully revamp the leveling and questing expérience. Make it something far more immersive and mémorable, like Swtor for example or with a more recent exemple like Larian did in crpg genra. Then it will be worth to do a world revamp. Player housing, we heard this for 20 years, but I wonder what people actually expext. Wasn't Garison some player housing ?

[@daniellucas5522]

Kudos on the literally nailed-on prediction of the dragonriding pre-order rewards.

[@allanironmonger4479]

I'd love to see a 10.3 that deals with Iridikron and a Titan facility raid in the quest to reclaim Tyr. Then we can have the opportunity for a slow build introduction to the next expansion. I'd like to see a new NPC introduced that washes up on the Dragon Isles; they can't remember who they are or where they came from but they bear a warning. The Western Veil is broken and the storms wane. An ancient power awakens, and Azeroth is in peril. After we follow the mysterious strangers quest to reclaim their memories, we are finally introduced to the next expansion in Avaloren and the next expansion playable class: The Bard.

[@parkerdixon-word6295]

That opening is the funniest most "Oh yeah, that's an 'I'm a parent of 2 young children' moment" sponsor plug I've seen in a long time, and I love just how short and punchy it is. Good stuff.

[@sildhe]

IIRC, back during Dragonflight reveals, they mentioned in roadmap for WoW, that they would be focusing on revamping all of Azeroth more than net new content / zones in the future. Bring it up to date like how DF zones are.

[@keithmilne5387]

I think part of the hype is this will be the 20th year of WoW, if I'm not mistaken. They've likely saved something big for the occasion

[@WeTravelOnlyByNightAsItsSoHot]

There needs to be stand alone servers for most popular content. Like Legion and Wrath of the Lich King. Which do not morph into the next expansion and are given more time to enjoy instead of pushing through catch up levelling boosts since it is not actively the current expansion.

[@GOEpicwinning28]

I think a world revamp is going to be a result of a titan attack/conflict and the blooming of the new world tree. We know that iridkiron is trying to lure the titans to Azeroth, we know that Amanthul has a history of ripping things out of the world and that Eonar resents him for ripping out the original world tree. I can see a scenario where there’s a split in the pantheon with Amathul wanting to destroy the tree, Eonar refusing and both of them launching their own assault on the land. Amanthul trying to destroy/reoriginate and Eonar trying to spread nature. This conflict affects loads of zones, and this split allows iridikron and the void to attack them divided. The storm dwarves labelled heretics would also naturally side with iridikron as they likely hate the titans and are elemental in nature. This titan war would have the potential to bring in so many characters, who pick their sides and create new divisions that don’t align with factions - meanwhile we’re trying to hold it all together, fight off the void and also exploring the history, characters and aims of the titans.

[@h88den]

My thoughts on underground, Dwarven themed zone, would be something in the same vein as the underground map in Elden Ring. What's going to be important is that they don't make another Zaralek Caverns or Deepholm, but that they have a skybox that's really cool and intriguing--think what the Caverns of Time look like when you look at the walls.

[@lj1653]

[@Neomagam]

I desperately want a 10.2.5 quest now where we ride on the back of a giant red fish to an island called Afalorin

[@TheRubberDuck77]

Ok, so here is my WILD prediction that almost for sure won't happen but if it did people would go crazy.... so with the world revamp, when you use chromie to pick your leveling expansion, you can set the WHOLE WORLD back to what ever expansion you pick to level through, so if you pick TBC or Wrath it resets the whole world back to original (except you can now fly across it) and/or to combo that with new player experience, some way to start at the beggining lore wise and play from level 1 to new max level going thru a streamlined leveling experience through ALL of the expansions, but only getting major campaign quests, one of the things that takes me out of it, is you make a new toon, but the npc's talk to you like you've been this champion since vanilla, but you've only played thru the current expansion or whatever. Even if you are playing a race/class that hasn't even been around since then. But to take it even MORE wild.... that idea of going from vanilla lore to current expansion.... is a single player/possibly co-op as a new game mode. So basically a very long tutorial thing to bring you to the current expansion, and possibly work in lore reasons if you make a new race/class that's not been in since vanilla.

[@forafewnightsout]

Happy your explaining the schedule cause i haven't even checked it lol

[@forafewnightsout]

Didn't think I'd have to be up that early. Don't know why i didn't think that but whatevs lol

[@silviopiovani5279]

It's the 10th expansion, the 20th year of WoW and 30th anniversary of the Warcraft game. It doesn't look like they would miss such a marketing/rebranding/renewing traditions opportunity. The probably shorter expansions (SL and DF) and the kind of "pequel" baddie building stuff from DF suggests that they'd preparing something huge. I really think that world revamp, like a WoW 2 is the only feature that could match the symbolic date. It's not a normal expansion. Also, Avaloren could be a New zone for the last patches (11.1 or 11.2) and not be called Avaloren as it is a name used by the keepers that failed to get there.

[@cadencenavigator958]

Probably: new Dracthyr classes, new playable race (maybe allied?), Thrall cinematic, boats (but not for the player personally), "back to WoW's roots" Maybe: storm dwarves, dragon racing prepurchase, shaman for all, new demon hunter spec, old gods, borrowed power back, early launch, grizzled Anduin, game pass, 10.3 Unlikely: beyond western storms, Gilneas, new player experience (though I could see making the Dragon Isles the new base instead of BfA), new support specs, new profession, avaloren, underground zone Not happening: player housing, world revamp

[@PinkDevilFish]

I asked a question at the blizzcon you guys hosted! I won't be there this time around but the q and a was fun to participate in.

The mention of the world healing in the original Dragonflight cinematic makes me lean towards a world revamp definitely coming. Seeing all the damage from Cata be healed and how the citizens have rebuilt or expanded back out into those areas.

In the art they've made for the "WoW Synthwave Beats to Chill To | Together at BlizzCon" video. The pillars looks like the behind the scene prep for Blizzcon.

I read "Early Launch" as "Early Lunch" and am leaving it that way on my home bingo card 😀

[@raulnevarez5360]

How about Raid specific borrowed power, that you can upgrade inside/outside the raid.

[@coletomson6039]

New demon hunter spec designed around how metamorphosis worked in War3, how illidan became ranged and shot green fire balls at people

Missing Blizzcon this year hoping to go next year for the 20th anniversary 🥰 have a superb fun time for all blizz con nerds have a blast it’s a fun time!

[@ryanacheson8338]

My honest view based on everything we know in game is that Avaloren is the other side of Azeroth but is the lands of the black empire that the titans couldn’t destroy (which is why they sealed off kalimdor) and that the Heretics Odyn wants destroyed are the keepers who sided with the black empire

[@Muppet-kz2nc]

im not a religious man but when Metzen speaks I feel that horde spirit.

[@HarryNohara]

I think it would be odd if we do not get a 10.3, with Iridikron being set up as the main villain, trying to lure the Titans to Azeroth and unleash his vengeance. It would be odd if they skipped that major storyline or saved it for some expansion in the distant future. I also feel we're still missing an unknown (white/silver) Dragonflight.

[@catie1899]

No idea on a missing dragonflight tbh.. but the idea sounds interesting. And if not that, there would be a lot of room to give dragonkin more story or smth like that ^.^

Less bind on pickup mats for professions is all i want to know for professions

[@nesjake]

I'd be so upset if they make up a new underground city when we have had the massive city of the Undermine already part of the lore but not in game yet

[@kubi0461]

No way they'd devote the resource but even back leading in BFA I wish they'd do a boat minigame like this: (messy, brief summary) Starting quest is something going on in the harbor. You investigate and ultimately end up agreeing to join a captains ship to help out. Cool scenario plays out.. immersive and also acts as a demo of the new minigame ship system. Upon return, impressed with your work you get offered to join the ship company. You can sign up for missions of many different types. As you gain progress you can earn/buy/build boats and also earn rank through a separate type of progress. Procedural generation and randomness would be needed to keep the missions fun. Similar missions could have varying events or outcomes throughout. New sea combat mechanics and sea monster battles or ship to ship combat and ship repairs. train and/or seek out crew once you have your own ship to command. But you could choose not to seek command and instead just do missions as part of a crew if you prefer but only command missions gain rank progress. Maybe sometimes pirates attack or a monster or your crew turns to mutiny and set free a prisoner during transport or you run into a storm and run aground on an island. reward options are limitless but I'd include additional sea travel paths and docks/ports you earn. There would also be open sea areas to sail freely in. Add in some vashj'ir style underwater areas for those that loved that. Of course plenty of boat updates/modifications.. different weapon/utility options. It's much more in depth in my head, but all pretty much depends on some level of procedural generation in order to be fun long term gameplay. It has to feel like a gameplay style and not just "check the box" repeated chores.

[@djcowell91]

Taliesen!! How dare you not include the Tuskarr as their own square to your bingo card! Sure, that could be new playable race, but c'mon man! If you're the Tuskarr advocate, be that! 🙂

[@azurecorviknight4189]

@Taliesin&Evitel, I heard that lovely Outer Wilds sountrack from 6:25! I'd love to see you play the game on the second channel as well! It's an amazing game.

[@gohomehero]

Would love procedural dungeons to be added. That aren't time based and give loot as good as m+

[@BoomTag]

Perhaps an audio tip for the camera footage at the start. Force the audio to mono!

[@charlierown1355]

You two are the best. Also, Q&A missing is fine, it was always annoying. Also also, VA might be in violation of SAG-Acura strike rules, can’t remember which union VA actors signed up for

[@MGC-XIII]

Get ready for Tali and Bullular to start talking about the expansion after the one they announce.

[@thecodicier]

We will hear the voice of Azeroth and get a glimpse of their Titan form in the cinematic

[@andrewross5454]

Damnit Tali is an good at building that wonder hype. 🎉😂 This got me hyped.
