PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

Oh, they are. The number of pepsi instances and ‘fixes’ is on the up, from what I’ve seen.

What are these?

Epsilon. Private GM RP server. What Kaytlinne is referring to is phases, where everyone on the server can basically remake the entire world as they see fit.

Time to retcon your character Mori. These are words from god-on-high Copeland, our one true prophet of lore.

Yea, Mori now lived on the Banks of the Well of Eternity, longingly watching out of his windows towards the World Tree Nordrassil, who kept the magic from seeping into space and had roots spreading as far and wide as the Kaldorei Empire, until the Dark Portal opened… Then he had to fight the Burning Legion, while trying to close The Dark Portal until Malfurion could blow up the Well, Nordrassil and the Dark Portal alongside the whole Burning Legion with his army of Wisps.

Copeland writing reminding me of those roleplayers who claim they are 10k old native Azeroth Draenei with a worgen parent from that time too.

It just works and now I don’t get a headache for trying to insert Mori into all those important lore-events! (sucks to be anything but a Elf now, because they never got to experience those events!)

Born on the Exodar. And the worgen parent was born on Teldrassil, of course.

The real question is whether all of this stuff is suppose to be treated as author’s mistakes, non-canon mad ravings of a skooma-addled troll or official retcons of ancient lore.

and we won’t get an answer either (other than ‘it’s blizz’s fault lol!’) until it gets retconned again!

“When in doubt, double down” is very much on-brand for Blizzard at the moment.

Night Elves are, yet again, the punching bags.

zekhan is a well known “patron” of vulpera caravan wares, it is known.

Read it again, he says “a thousand years ago”, so the WotA and Dark Portal both happened 1.000 years ago!

It is poorly written but that is, I believe, not what it is saying.

Separating the clauses it indicates that
a) the ruins currently around the lake were part of the academy which still existed 1000 years ago
b) Separately, it notes that the academy used the leylines to do magic stuff during the War of the Ancients, indicating it also existed 10,000 years ago.

Copying from a MMO-champion thread:
https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2611583-quot-World-of-Warcraft-Exploring-Azeroth-Kalimdor-quot-Lore-and-Updates-Spoilers

The Alliance has retaken (most of) Darkshore, except for Shatterspear Vale, but has abandoned Bashal’Aran, its base of operations after the Battle of Darkshore. Ameth’Aran, the other Highborne city in Darkshore, is also in ruins. The Night Warrior, or the “Avatar of the New Moon" empowered the Kaldorei Empire against the trolls in pre-Sundering times, and there are other avatars also, but undescribed, for each different phase of Mu’sha. The night elves still somewhat patrol Darkshore’s roads, but seem to have their forces and attentions diverted elsewhere (perhaps other parts of Kalimdor). However, post-Battle of Darkshore, most life in Darkshore is seemingly gone, or essentially dead, and much of the land seems abandoned or uninhabitable. Onu, the Ancient of Lore in Darkshore, welcomed the Horde representatives to the Grove of the Ancients, and even shared some of his ancient wisdom with them.

Anyone can confirm?

The Exodar is successfully repaired and capable of travel, Velen is still leading the draenei! But their people favored the Vindicaar to include all of Azeroth’s forces against the Legion during the last war.

Apparently the Exodar and Vindicaar are both capable of travel and in Alliance hands.

They have tried to purge the radiation on Azuremyst Isles resulting from the crash (the Isles are called “View of Unending Stars” or Nar’valas in Darnassian), but to little avail.

Darnassian name for the Azuremyst Isles is found!

Apparently Teldrassil still smolders and there are members of the Horde that think they, and the Horde as a whole, could never be forgiven for what they did.

Edit: Also, Cenarion Hold and Staghelm Point have been rebuild by the Cenarion Circle… Guess the sword wasn’t a problem?
