Reading about Ulthalesh. It’s basically the untamed offspring of the Unholy DK and Shadow Priest weapons.
 
Thematically similar powers, but also a will of its own, destroying and claiming countless lives, betraying the user when not manipulating them, etc

There’s a theory going around that Elune is a void lord/old god that is either friendly to mortals, or just not on good terms with the void.
 
He close association with the darkness below the well of eternity (and subsequently Mount Hyjal and the Sunwell).  
The fact that she’s deeply connected to darkness, moonlight, and shadows.
 
Her chosen people were the dark trolls who lived in the shadowy recesses of Azeroth, whom she mutated into a form more serving of her interests. Which is a common thing the void lords/old gods do.  
The idea that she may have created the Naru, whom the old gods refer to as “lost brothers”.  
And her penchant for the balance between light and shadow, it being her central theme.
 
So she may be a renegade void lord who wants to preserve the balance between light and void. Possible out of altruism, or maybe out of nessecity, for fear that once the void consumes everything, it’ll then turn on itself.
 
I like this theory.

@Zincy  
the youtuber Pyromancer has gone off the deep end, as Warlocks do. AVOID!

Trying the new leveling system, seems pretty good so far, and I’m refusing to use heirlooms.

Uh, is there a reason why boss health pools are higher in MoP raids?

@Mike
 
All old raid bosses from WoD back had their health increased by 300%, and some mechanics had their damage tooled (like the lava bridge in WoD) to hit even harder. Also all personal loot now, so, have fun.

@Zincy  
Firelands didn’t seem to have boss health increased by 300%, also I didn’t get personal loot from it or Mogu’Shan vaults, I got the normal loot table and gold drops from both raids. Only MoP seemed to have increased boss hp, and even then it was still easy on HC25 with my 900 paladin.

I’m actually enjoying the new leveling. It doesn’t feel like a chore like vanilla since you have multiple abilities to use and you can still fight one or two enemies without much issue, and it isn’t slow, but pulling too many mobs at once is actually threatening. I like that.  
Also I’m leveling cooking while questing because idk.  
Blizzard, please make professions matter everywhere, not just endgame…

So…..  
I’m guessing this thread is pretty much dead? :I

we mostly post in vidya

August 14th for Battle of Azeroth. Legion was good, so I’m interested to see where this goes. I imagine the pre event will be sometime July.

@Mikey
 
It’s looking pretty good.
 
Though Sylvy getting the villain bat upside the head sort of smacks of Garrosh Mark II.

@Zincy  
I wonder what the pre-expansion event will be. I’m interested to try the new Ret.

@Mikey
 
Probably the ovatures to war starting directly after Before the Storm. And whatever else is about to happen in Silthus.

@Zincy  
Aye. I haven’t played since the new leveling was put in. When you think classic will be?

@Mikey
 
Soon ^TM
 
 
I quite like the 7.3.5 leveling revamp. It’s nice to not out level zones.
 
At any rate, sleep time comes.

@Zincy  
Tbh I still got bored of it by the time I got to level 30. I’m sick of the old zones.

@Mikey  
I’ll be gladly taking advantage of it to quest through zones I never did much in because I almost instantly leveled out of them, like basically everything on Kalimdor.

Vanessa VanCleef best girl along with Abbendis.

I feel like rebumping this.  
So I’ve been having a blast in Classic, level 30 on my mage, going for Arcane Frost until AQ40.  
Also the 8.2.5 cinematic was hoo boy.

I fucking called it.
 
I’d been saying for over a year that’s how the Blood War would end.

@Zincy  
So the faction war is over. Though there’s still Tyrande and Genn.

@Mikey
 
True. Hopefully something comes of that.
 
But I knew right out the bat they’d just pull from the damn movie. This was just Durotar Vs. Gul’Dan..
 
Not that I didn’t like it, it was cool. But I knew it would happen.

@Zincy  
So what do you think will be the next expansion/8.3?

@Mikey
 
Most def a fight against the void. If I had to guess, we’ll either see the other side of the planet, or WoW is going Cosmic Horror and we go to Ny’Lotha. It’ll depend on what happens in 8.3. As for that patch….Sylv or N’Zoth will be the last boss, and the one that’s not will be the mid-boss come 9.2
 
 
I’m also 100% sure they are going to remove the faction barrier in terms of raiding and instances. I don’t think they’ll merge the factions, but I bet that you’ll get to group for instanced content with both factions. It’s the only way to ensure the faction balance never strays again. They’ve been dealing with this ever since WoTLK.
