Well first impressions of BFA are shit. I crashed multiple times during first quest/scenario and then got dropped to my death in Ogrim, and somehow finished the scenario.

This normal? I don't have a potato for a PC either.

Are you running it from a platter drive or an SSD? WoW doesn't run worth a shit from a platter drive.

Surprised tokens haven't changed all that much in price since last time I played, I'm already 1/2 way from gold left over from Legion for a token.

I have had zero performance/crashing issues since doing the first scenario, I'll just assume I hit some weird server issue.

That’s all folks. Oh also… don’t get your hopes up about Diablo 4 if you didn’t like Diablo 3.
Well that makes it sound even more legit.

Glad someone brought the Dragonsworn class back, that was always an intriguing one to me. It already exists in the game, but it's all NPCs. Mostly in Dragonblight but also pretty much all the NPCs for the Scarab Lord/AQ shit. Tinkerers are cool, and I'd love to play one since they've existed and have been developed through various NPCs since warcraft 3, but I just don't see a tinkerer coming AFTER we already explore mechagon, ya know? That seems like the time to release it.

Dragonsworn would tie in all the resurgence of Dragon lore AND Lich King lore, considering Dragonblight is right there. Imagine the Lich King doing some timey-wimey bullshit and raising Galakrond from the dead? BOY

that said I don't believe any of these leaks other than a Lich King revamp, but I don't think it'll really be a WOTLK2. Hopefully it just doesn't have a stupid ass name like Battle for Azeroth.

Mr. FieryHandsCanNeverWankAgain is just gonna end up being the new Dahdgar quest dude, with slightly more deadpan dad jokes.

Thanks, Xzi. I was always curious who that Dragon was that they were digging up. Just never curious enough to read the quest dialogue or google it lol.

Can definitely see Lich King vs Aspects tensions being a thing, seeing as DKs are killing and reanimating drakes in both legion and bfa. Bolvar is probably pretty salty about being cursed by that dragon breath.

Its not just Bolvar too, Ner'zhul is still a part of the Lich King.

My concern with these "leaks" are that the actual product will be much worse. I thought the Shadowlands one was pretty cool even if there were some obviously fake stuff that broke the belief. They could've made a killing in subscriptions if they made a whole line-up of "ghost" and "undead" mounts to farm. Ghost kodo? Ghost raptor? Yes, please.

Maybe? I could be wrong, but I always thought he was part of what "made" the Lich King.

Nerzhul was never really killed, in chronicles they state that the dream that arthas kills him in is pretty much metaphorical/symbollic than anything else. There's no telling if he was ever actually defeated or if he's just in the background, waiting.

We'll probably find out soon, I imagine.

Dragoon class with aspect themeing would be cool, but I think Demon Hunters already stole their thunder with mobility.

I'm going to have faith in Blizzard (lol) just like I did with the pre-Legion announcements that they will unfuck the game with the next expac.

I still think that Classic is a large case study seeing what the players enjoy in a game, and we will see retail kind of regress back to those kind of features. Not full blown neckbeard features, but itemization, and maybe even a talent system like legion artifacts again.

All I know is whatever the next class we get added is, it'll be an agility leather melee DPS.

Definitely not Mail Ranged/Healer.

Except that Shadowlands (99% sure) has been designed a year ago, all of its grind-daily mechanics have been planned before Classic launched, and Blizzard can't turn around on a 500$ dollar bill (never mind a dime), so you'll have all the new "interesting" mechanics.

I mean, that's the people who were introducing cursed items. With random corruption amounts, so that even if you had an item with your tier 3 crit boost, you'd still farm it again so that you had the same tier 3 crit, but with 2 less corruption!

(ok, they're walking back a little bit from this)

Everyone I know in real life who was hyped to play classic has already quit. My Twitter feed is full of people moving from classic to other games. I doubt classic will be the Jesus that saves the next wow expansion.
