World of Warcraft: Legion Beta datamined stuff
- Thread starter Oni Link 666
- Start date
Not really that early, they announced the expansion over 3 months ago.
This is what I am most surprised by as well. It looks surprisingly complete art-wise based on all the datamined stuff so far. Then again they said they've been heavily working on it since the middle of WoD so I shouldn't be too surprised I guess.

This new Warlock demon is cool as fuck.
That's a new demon pet for warlocks?
That might be their coolest design yet.
With Blizzard, you can never know...

Pretty bishie boy Anduin is no more
Well, true, you might end up killing them and then have to suction them out of an alternate dimension three expansion packs later.

Well, they talked about Cenarious at Blizzcon and said we would fight him, but weren't saying if he would really die. It is actually him.
I mean, looking at Nefarian, Kael'thas, etc. they don't even need to do that. Even if you kill a guy and hang his head from the entrance to Stormwind he'll come back a couple expansions later no problem.

Woah he unfroze? Guess he was tired of being a popsicle
Well, it is the oldest MMO that's still relevant.
No excuse. With its revenue they could easily offer two skin versions like EVE does. It's a big reason why I don't play. It's an immersion killer.

The game is 11 years old and can still run on most computers. By this point the people playing the game aren't too concerned with the graphical quality.
Oh that's stupid
Well, the whole Lich King 2.0 concept was and is stupid...

It looks like she's wearing her old lingerie armor over a wooden girdle.
It's also probably just to bring his model in line with the new human male as well. I wouldn't expect him to do much of anything anytime soon.
A lot of the armor skins and models are ugly. The world still looks pretty cool.
lmfao

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Ah, i was wondering why he looked so familiar.
Please respect the artstyle.
It could be cartoonish and still look good. Everything is a low poly mess. It has zero to do with the art style.
This new Warlock demon is cool as fuck.
Wow that is super cool. Nice to see a little bit of subtelety back in the designs, I'm sick of everything having 20 million giant glowing bits and intersecting curvy shapes. That creature looks cool, original, and cleanly designed.
But it does look good. Do you actually play the game? When you're out and about in the world everything extremely cohesive, sharp, and appealing. Plus the animation is extremely good, which is a huge factor. For something that has been around since 2004 the new content looks very good.

Sylvanas's new look is really bad. It's like they just added non-matching leather where skin previously was. Nothing wrong with changing her armor, but at least make it look cohesive. Why not use the same color and material as her existing armor?
Eh, it's mostly just about the artifact quests. Each spec has a different weapon and a different quest chain + unique scenario associated with it so they are taking that opportunity to check in with tons of locations/characters they haven't done anything with in forever. I won't bother typing out any spoilers (they are out there if you want to see them) but lets just say the artifact weapon story lines take place on every continent in the game except Outland/Draenor (and some even take place on other planets we've never been to).
Personally I think it's really cool, heading back to old zones to check in on old characters/storylines that aren't big enough to warrant a place in the main expansion story.
Exactly that. The Forsaken and Gilneas have needed development for years, but you can't really have your continent of focus be a place that already exists (Lordaeron). That part of the world is complete and no new zones can really be added.

This just makes me want Tauren Demon Hunters.
Because it's magic every time you boot up a new expansion?
Permanent Infernals and Doomguards? Holy... uh, Sargeras?
Cenarius continues to be one of the most badass Warcraft characters.
I need to level my lock. Doomguards and Infernals are AWESOME!

I reckon he becomes something wimpy, needing players to deal with his problems and then we kill him in Emerald Dream. Or some shit like that.
In Cataclysm Deathwing attacked Stormwind to retrieve the bodies of Nefarion and Onyxia and then turned then into zombies.
Kael'thas was just imprisoned after Tempest Keep, he died in Magister's Terrace.
And for other bosses like Illidan and Archimonde, when demons die they just return to the Twisting Nether ready to be summoned again.

Anduin has grown the last time we saw him in mists of pandaria ready to lead the alliance.
The idea being they find plenty of ways unrelated to time travel, though I could have worded that better
edit: though, i don't think time travel was the original plan for WoD. supposed to be something about garrosh escaping to outland and using some relic to resurrect the horde
