So...they'd really become a goat-squid?

"TANK OR DPS??" "squid spec!"

On a side note, the druids there aren't the type of druids Blizzard wants.

BOOMKIN FTAGHN!

*should make a screenshot manip of that*

Magni and Moira

Seems to imply that Magni isn't going to go away at least. I hope so anyway...

Oh yeah, and give Moira a warlock robe. Yeah, not like we could have another faction than Varian's Stormwind Humans be the real protagonists, so obviously the solution is to paint the Dwarven leadership as ineffectual and corrupt.

That's a player warlock robe, doesn't make her a warlock for wearing it. It's proably most likely she's a mage tbh. Else demonic curroption would've been mentioned.

Or since she's been in Shadowforge for so long, it just became her usual attire anyway? Since that is what they wear.

that armour set looks freaking hot on dwarves.

Here's hoping Magni won't be pulling a lorelol as to be turning into a statue. That armour looks far too good to be turned to stone!

Draenei should:
1) Have completed Shadowsong camp
2) Conquered Bloodmyst from those pesky belves
3) Made Exodar look less like a wreck
4) Made Azure Watch into Draenic-styled town (like in outland) just built from local stone.

Belves should:
1) Have a clear path to Sunwell from Silvermoon
2) 'Healed' the land around Tranquillien
3) Built a proper base in the north of Eastern Plaguelands

actually, if you've done the Quel'delar quest you actually visit the sunwell and see its surrounded by blood elves and the three leaders. whats more... theres an eversong quest, which basically points out that the tainted earth in the dead scar can -never- be healed.

Then again, many quests state "Never".

"Nobody has ever defeated the Black Dragonflight Brodmother!"

"Nobody has ever returned from Naxxramas!"

Know what I'm sayin'?

Never means later when we're talkin' about Blizzard.



But, yeah. Would be sad if "total makeover of the old world" means "We just added flaming holes here and there".

The harm inflicted to Dead Scar was performed by an army of undead and a twisted human prince wielding a Demonic sword that -can- be shattered by Ashbringer. A limited power (as Arthas' power is clearly limited) cannot inflict damage which cannot, in principle, be undone.

May or may not be fake, I cannot guarantee either, but if it's true Cata might be going full beta this week or at least very soon.

Interesting very interesting.

Could be fake but afaik those notes are from...

So we might actually see if Stromgarde has been rebuilt.

Perhaps, or it just means they are open to the public and not tested yet.
