New expansion thread

Nope, nothing has been confirmed yet, just that they will be there. Could be they are the first, or that they have an entirely different origin like the centaurs on Dragon Isles. Either way, as a troll fan this got me hyped.

To be fair, most of it is better left behind… I’d prefer the sword to stay a meme forever, for example…

They kinda deal with that in 9.2.5. Essentially lesser Scourge Lords like San’layn took control of the Scourge and are using them for their own ends. So there wasn’t that much rampaging Scourge because most of it wasn’t out of control for long enough. And that’s pretty much the best they could have done after 2 years of ignoring it, if you ask me…

Isn’t that a Blood Elf exclusively questline though? What’s with the rest of the world?
Don’t get me wrong, I get wanting to leave it all behind and I’m excited for new content as well but I’m also homesick.
And returning just to leave again feels wrong somehow. “Thanks for holding down the fort people, I’d love to stay and help but you know- there’s these guys who haven’t cared about us for 10k years but now they really need our help so- keep up the good work thx bye!”

Ah well. At least we’re staying on Azeroth this time.

I want playable Ogres and Mogu. That dragon race doesn’t faze me at all.

Well, the explanation we get seems pretty universal, though. “Without a LK the Scourge would run rampant” was :cow2::poo: in practice, because there are always more necromancers to do their part in controlling them for selfish reasons.

It’s possible Blizzard thought about this in this way:

“If the Blood Elves with their 90% reduced population are able to repel a new attack of the Scourge led by a San’layn on their lands with relative ease and WITHOUT their Horde allies, then it’s safe to assume the rest of the races around the world are having no problems at all either, therefore we don’t really need to show, or even tell, anything about it, let’s just ignore it”.

And other races that lost almost as much as the Sin’dorei (Gnomes, Draenei, Night Elves recently) have the Humans protecting them anyway, so…let’s not worry about them anyway…right?? :stuck_out_tongue:

I said PRIMORDIAL TROLLS

Wish the “Night Elf” presence came in the form of Arcanist Valtrois.

She’s both funny and arrogant…perfect blend. She could work with the Reliquary Blood Elf Magi who don’t mind finding artifacts whilst getting their hands dirty.

Valtrois, in her funny and arrogant way, could use her Arcane Magic to simply raise a proto dragon skeleton from the dirt and say, “Perfect for research and my hands remain clean…”

We could all have a good laugh and say “Valtrois, never change dearest.”

I just hope they’re just there as quest givers and not as “the real protagonists”. Let us do the protaging, please…

Well we know for sure that one of the dungeons is secret basement, in Uldaman of all places.

Also, possibly of elemental origin. I look forward to being able to proclaim " All land is Elemental Troll land! " :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Yeah I thought about that actually. Especially in regards to the theory according to which Trolls are related to reptiles, I mean Dragons did descend from Elementals, right ? Maybe the ancestry line was the following : Elementals → reptiles → Primordial Trolls → Zandalari Trolls → Jungle/Sand/Forest/Ice Trolls… Also, maybe Dire Trolls, rather than genetic anomalies, are actually a resurgence of Primordial Troll genes ?

Dude I just really like Trolls

Haven’t you heard? Alleria is planned as the new Queen of Silvermoon, taking on her new name All’themar Theron, Regent Queen of Quel’thalas.

If the Void Elves get a presence in Quel’thalas, it would be fair that the Blood Elves and Horde gain a presence in Telogrus’ Rift too…we kinda want to personally explore that place, too…not that there’s much to explore tho, but still :stuck_out_tongue:

but as far as I know the only ways to reach it for the Horde, it is through the research and books of Dar’khan and I’m not sure if Alleria has left any of them still in the Ghostlands for the Blood Elves to recover them and open portals to Telogrus’ Rift too…otherwise the other way is to invade and conquer Stormwind and go through the portals of Telogrus Rift there…which is a solution that Erevien probably likes more… but kinda difficult to do today without new faction wars anytime soon in Dragonflight and maybe even later :joy:

IF you give me a Stormwind raid I will never stop subbing.

Yeah? Gather some like-minded individuals (if there are any) and bring them to Stormwind. Bam! You have a Stormwind raid! Now you owe Blizzard an infinite sub.

Once she expunges the naaru from herself and the sunwell, whilst also making conscious effort to have a better relationship, with the Blood Elves there could be something to it. However i hope they don’t derail the dragon stuff for more cosmic nonsense this xpac xD

Has there been anymore word on updates for Silvermoon/Quel’Thalas since the expansion reveal?
I saw some rumours about it being turned hostile but, I’m not sure if it was ever confirmed.
Also, was anything discussed about updating the old world?

Nope. According to a German interview with Ion, none of the old zones will be updated and no significant things will happen there.
