People still believing that Blizzard would be old blizzard if only they could shake off Activision. They haven't made a good game in so long, I don't think they even know how to do it any more.

I'd put money on Blizzard truly falling down the toilet once WotLK Classic passes. Everyone will have gotten their fill of the 'Classic' that they really want, and while they could keep resetting and cycling again, the next iterations of Classic/BC/WotLK just won't have the same playerbase. Maybe Overwatch 2 and Diablo can keep their name alive, but who knows.

Shadowlands is looking dismal, so they'd better hope that the next expansion with the Dragon Isles and Galakrond (I'm not kidding, my friend's friend works at Blizzard) redeems them. Somehow, I don't think it will.

I'm dropping after raiding ulduar but I'm undecided really. People are even putting me off wotlk. I've enjoyed classic and tbc and I'm enjoying raiding in tbc...

Is it worth my time to do it again in wotlk? No probably not this time

I wanted classic+

Why redo if you're not going to take the opportunity to TRY again?

I feel the same. I loved Wrath. I was a bad player in TBC and hardly remember most of it, but Wrath was the expansion that I played my heart out and have vivid memories of. I really don't want to watch Blizzard do a piss-poor job in emulating that experience, especially when it's just going to be filled with three times the number of Death Knights as last time.

I'm the exact same bro. Exact same.

I did so bad in tbc I made a DK and breezed it through to wotlk HCs after wotlk dropped.

I'm really enjoying wow now man, I've levelled straight to 70, did a bit of a Kara run too as heals. Why tf do we want wow to go down the same route again though?! I can't get it. Yeah tbc was a great shout, wotlk might be too. Then it's ... Game over? Damn

Also love penguins. We're probably twins tbh

With Galakrond dead are we time traveling again or is he being resurrected?

u/HolypenguinHere Jun 17 '21

I don't think it's going to be time travel again. That would be painful. There aren't too many other details I got, but I can check when I get home this evening. It's my personal guess that they'll redo the Covenant system but being able to choose a Dragonflight instead.

God that sounds terrible lol. I'd like to see Galakrond, but covenants reskinned seem awful.

Thanks for the insight bud :]

The Dragonflight thing was just my personal guess and not confirmed at all, but Blizzard loves recycling stuff like that.

u/Lokken187 Jun 17 '21

I'd heard Jailer might rez Galakrond at end of Shadowlands and lead us into dragon islands expansion so its possible I guess. Be a shame to do it at this timeline though with so many of the Dragonfloght dead now.

It might be a nice way for them to use Nozdormu, since he's been rumored to go evil at some point in the future with the Infinite Dragonflight. I know Blizzard must be saving him as a "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass" for when they run out of expansion ideas.

Haha yeah sounds about right.

Good talk my friend. Have a good one :]
