Here's my two cents:-Did anyone else notice the three-monitor setup when the dev was talking? On the left screen, there's what looks unmistakably like an underground goblin city. Could this be hinting at Undermine beneath Siren Isle?-Siren Isle itself has a layout that screams 'Battle Royale' potential. Are we looking at Blizzard killing two birds with one stone here? Introducing a new zone and laying groundwork for a future PvP mode?Also, that ring shown in the preview looks very familiar to the one from Patch 10.0.7 in Dragonflight. Here's hoping it's not tied to another gem system this time around!Either way I will cover it in my documented journey towards 100 million gold, lets hope we canmake some gold in this upcoming patch.
In the video shown, them letting us see the updated wind rider models flying around on the island; I'm going to hope against hope our hunters can FINALLY have one those to tame! Would be nice to finally have a matching hunter pet to go with the wind rider mounts & the battle pet (Wind Rider Cub). I am absolutely one of those people who love that the WoW team puts in references to things that occur in our own real-life natural world! It makes happy to hear that she's using the examples from the finches in the Galapagos to explain the variations in the animals who've been living on this island so long that they've changed their physical forms to better aid in exploiting their environment. I'll never forget when WotLK released, seeing the large white bears hunting in the snow using their powerful front arms to pump downwards to reveal the rabbit they're hunting from below.
There are 3 absolutes in life, "Death, taxes & complaints in the comments". So far I really dig the look/feel of the island. We'll see how the gameplay is. I've been saying the missing ingredient from retail is the danger of the world. The biggest change from classic to retail is the threat of the enemy, in retail you are super saiyan, in classic you're just an adventurer. Hoping these storms are a mix of challenge and fun and not just suped up punching bags.
Pirate and goblin stuff are probably my two least favourite in WoW. I hate it with a passion.
Look at all the complainers about a 0.7 patch, hilarious.
