The Titans have returned from their vigil over Sargeras and have since deemed the denizens of Azeroth a greater threat to the world soul than the celestial powers ever were alone. While the keepers are not at war yet with Azeroth, the champions of the world have to prove the worthiness of the people of the world to avoid destruction at the hands of the Makers. In the shadows, the Kirin Tor has begun the final stage of their disastrous decade-long goal.
Two new land masses are coming for 60-70 content; modern Khaz Modan and the Underworld. Old Khaz Modan will still be attached to the old world as the new continent is on its own map with updated graphics and stories taking place in a Titanforged Ironforge, Blackrock Mountain where the threat of Ragnaros looms again as well as the new capital of the dwarven clans Grim Batol. The Undermine is comprised of completely new zones beneath the earth including the nerubian kingdom of Azjol-nerub, the Genesis Chamber and the Undermine. Flying will not need to be unlocked in Khaz Modan, though it will never be available in the Underworld.
There is a focus on racial lore this expansion as each kingdom is no longer constrained by a Warchief nor a High King which threatens the unity of the forces of Azeroth against their new enemies. There is an emphasis on dwarves, pandaren and goblins as they have been especially neglected in storytelling. Because of this, Gallywix and Moira represent the former Horde and Alliance in the current crisis.
Changes to warmode have been made to keep the memories of the factions alive and have been adapted to continue PvP out in the open world. Battlegrounds and arenas are untouched by any changes. No new battlegrounds are planned.
Outdated raids have been added to the leveling process as an alternative to dungeons or outdoor questing. Former ‘level cap’ zones no longer in use have been repurposed as elite leveling zones that require a full party to survive in. Timewalking Vanilla dungeons and Ahn’qiraj are planned.
Loremasters will be added to most player races, capable of tanking, healing, damage dealing and support. Using ancient runes and song, they are described as both formidable spellcasters of old and powerful mystical warriors.
The talent system has been completely revamped with more choice-combinations for each class. The use of spell rotations is being discouraged by an increase in spells that promote variation depending on the situation. Players can now embark on challenging solo-missions to unlock more powerful versions of their base spells as well as new flavor abilities.
No new races nor allied races are planned. Updates to races that need it the most are coming with a handful of new and tweaked customization options for each. Each race will have at least three heights to choose from which can be changed at the barbershop. Armor added in the next expansion will be able to be dyed in one of over a hundred color combinations. As you could probably guess, you can verify this all at Blizzcon.
How many races were added in Shadowbringers? One? And it's literal humans with bunny ears?
I'll be over here enjoying my Kul Tiran humans, dark iron dwarves, void elves, lightforged draenei, nightborne, mag'har orcs, highmountain and zandalari trolls.
How many continents? We have 2. Zones? We're up to 8.

Another 'leak' How nice

Only women and literal trannies can stomach anime.
No straight, cis, white, Christian, conservative man can bear the sight of such a poor excuse for art.

>The only one out of all of those with a unique model is Kul Tiran >they're just fat humans LMAO
I'd never play in a game with humans with bunny ears as a race. That's just pants on head retarded. I hate the fuckers but I'd happily take Vulpera over them. At least anthropomorphic animals are classic fantasy and unavoidable in traditional mythological western storytelling.

Which means it's destined to be the right leak. Looks right to me anyway. Fits with what I've heard from friends who work in the industry.

I dunno much about FF14. I played it to level 16 but everyone I met there and everyone I know on WoW who plays FF14, without exception, is a trash human being who thrives on drama or a wreck of a tranny.
and? whats wrong with that tranny? sad you aint got diehard redpilled fans like he does?
Eli Lee
I know this is bait but the dude doesn't even know how to get under SW. He lost a raid vs raid wpvp engagement and literally rage quit.
The dude has become the reddit hero he accused everyone else of being. He doesn't even do content; he lives for media sharing and memes he got no way to justify himself above.
>Former ‘level cap’ zones no longer in use have been repurposed as elite leveling zones that require a full party to survive in. That would actually be awesome. Actually give reason for leveling guilds to exist. Like always I don’t believe anything but that would be a cool idea for a leveling revamp.

>sylvanas was actually trying to save the world! >kills all potential allies for no good reason >kills a large portion of her actual allies for no good reason
Why don't they put some effort in a new class. These expansions are just forgettable filler crap now with a ton of regurgitated and uninteresting content. They dont focus on expanding on content that actually worked. Like mage-tower, artifact weapon skins etc. Creating new garbage as they go. Azerite, warfronts etc.
>8.2 reveal stream was on April 11th >Crucible of Storms went live April 16th
>Eternal Palace goes live July 9th
Does that mean the reveal stream for 8.2.5 will come out this or next week? I'm actually looking forward to following the development of the next patch since I kind of care now.

The only good thing coming from Reforged, we will have a nince cutscene for this fight and not the anime shit like in war 3
