Reminds me of the "NEW DANCES" banner right in the wotlk teaser.
Well they rarely say stuff is going to maybe get cut in advance iirc. I'm sure when they talked about those they were working on them. They just talked about them too early I guess.
Now that I think of it we were supposed to see train tracks in Gorgrond too. It's weird they are missing, especially since the train is a big deal both in a dungeon and a raid (and in te storyline, lol)
Edit: Also that southern Ogre continent we will probably never see now. I was excited when they called Draenor a "world" since I thought we were going to see more than one continent, and it's even on the map.

No new battlegrounds? BOO THIS MAN.
They said as much at gamescom iirc.
They are now allied with the legion, willingly.

(I actually believe we'll get something like that eventually)
Reality is most of the announced stuff for Warlords made it in, they just didn't announce much to begin with. Most of the cut content was zone/raids ideas (the only features I can name off hand that got cut were the revamped arena system and pet breeding).
This is why I was personally worried before the expansion even came out. I mean shit seemed bad to me when they spent like 10 minutes explaining how amazing random quest items you won't have equipped next week could upgrade to epic, on a stage, with thousands of people watching. So pointless.
They need to make them axes.
....
Mother of God.
(Would save me SO MUCH space.)
Also disappointed that BM got stuck with a Gun....though I guess some spec had to get it.
Imagine if we had the Legion reveal done by Metzen instead of him.
Why, because of the "there is only one legion blahblah and we can't kill them except in the nether" clusterfuck?
I don't expect it to be that important moving forward. Also we have battled the legion a bit too much now for them to be the final antagonist. I smell something like "the legion exists because of the Titans, Titans are bad mmmkay, kill them". Which is something we're going to do eventually, the writing is on the wall, it's just that the order will be different than anticipated.

They should have let you just right click on any item, with any class, and add to wardrobe.
That means all that stuff on my hunter I'll have to vendor now. I have so much cool stuff from older raids in my void bank. I have staffs, shields, daggers, 2 handers, 1 handers, wands, plate items. Was keeping them around until I heard about the new transmog system. Pretty much useless now!

This is something I know random people on the internet have speculated about before. We know very little about Titans or the Legion really. It's honestly about time we learn about both of those factions and their history.
All the items on your hunter will automatically added to the wardrobe when Legion launches so you should keep them unless they are a quest reward in which case you can sell them and still get the appearance when Legion launches.
This is how I interpreted it as well. You don't need to equip the item to add it to your wardrobe. But for a character to transmog into something added to your wardrobe, that character would need to be able to equip it normally....right?

Really? Yeah, I'm not watching Blizzcon, so I don't know what is what right now.
Every item? What about vendor or destoryed items? Surely its not that too, but if so, holy shit that is a lot of stuff for someone who has played for 10 years with every class.
Multiple universes and time travel in general trivialize the importance of any one storyline. "Prime" Azeroth or not- like I seriously care about a hackneyed excuse for why we're in our realm- why should I care what happens in our world when every conceivable plotline will enact itself in others? We don't matter. If we fail, an infinite number of other bands of heroes succeeded. If we succeed, an infinite number of other bands of heroes failed.
Furthermore, it was just another example of Blizzard being incapable of leaving something well enough alone- leave dead characters dead. Leave battles won. Or lost. Revisiting old plotlines and old characters feels stale, also cheapens the significance of any accomplishment, (just like Bolvar becoming a new Lich King when we killed the old Lich King and Illidan returning in this one) and generally introduces all kinds of plotholes.
I guess it's not like the WoW story has been good at any point. It's just feels like they have a lot of lore available to use and they manage to navigate in the most poor way possible each time.

Also, this is what I read that made me skeptical to begin with. From Blizzard:
I agree with your point, but alternate timelines have been in wow since the beginning, and they've said a bunch of time the legion wants azeroh for something and recently that our azeroth is special, so what we're doing actually matters. It's enough for me to alleviate that problem, but the explanation better be convincing.
Ah shit. That contradicts what I said, then. If in fact, this is correct.

Be lame if true. That means all I can unlock is hunter items.

That's two expansions in a row now?
It's a shame because both the Cata and MoP battlegrounds and arenas were great.
To be honest, I'm not sold on the idea that they can't give us a new BG and the proposed honor/PvP changes. However, if the PvP changes end up as good as they suggest, then I might end up PvP-ing for the first time since Cata.
I've struggled for 3-4 years with WoW PvP. Why torture myself with that gear dependant unbalanced shite when MOBAs exist? If this fixes that, then I don't care if the only BG we can play is WSG.

Yes please, T 11 was my favorite tier for a reason.
But I'm not a fan of long singular raids in general.
Is that just what MMO champion has? Their presentation and their slides don't have that and that would be contradicting their slides.
Yeah he could recite me the phone book and I'd still be interested.

It was quoted from a Blue. So yeah, guessing from Blizzards mouth.
Yeah, T11 gets lost in the Cata hate. It was probably one of the best designed raid tiers. 2 boss raid with no trash, 4 boss linear raid with secret special boss at the end, 6 boss raid with tons of choice in what order you do bosses. All 3 with their own unique looks and widely different looking weapons. Probably my favorite raid tier as well but for me it goes a bit beyond the design, also really enjoyed H BWD because of how they designed the heroic modes. I like that all the new heroic mechanics came from Nef himself and he had tons of witty remarks to say through the fights.

That softens the blow I guess. I can't imagine of all the items I have vendor or destroyed over the years.
