I don’t care if it’s fake or not I just have to do this.

This.

I remember the leak for BFA… Was dead on accurate except for the title… Which went on to be the name of the 8.1 patch

Attack on Thunder Bluff sounds lazy and dumb tbh. I guess they are maybe phoning it in for this expansion if it’s true.

Next expansion seems ok. But another new “Old Gold” would continue to cheapen the significance of them.

WoD and Cataclysm were both leaked correctly.

What about BfA does not suggest they’re phoning it in?

Cataclysm and WoD were both extensively leaked on 4chan.

Ugh, I hope not. Tinkerer shouldn’t be a class, It’s dumb. We already have engineering as a profession, we don’t need an entire joke gag based class. The level squish is fine, but pushing all the expansions into one huge chunk of levels is stupid in my opinion.

Having more zones where you have to go to a past version or a future versions is a huge pain, too…

Why would Sylvanas attack Thunderbluff? That doesn’t make any sense and is completely stupid.

If all that’s true, retail will die next expansion no doubt. :roll_eyes:

I think dark rangers or necromancers would be better.

I recall before legion was announced. There was this HUGE 100% “confirmed” that was going to add ships we could drive in the water and dark rangers as a class, that could be a range healer as well. From what I recall everyone thought it was for certain, people made a few machinemas about it. But it turned out we got legion instead.

So unless it’s from the horses mouth I’ll wait till blizzcon. Plus it’s way more fun when they announce it, they make it exciting.

My only concern with the level squish is how will it affect me raiding old content? Will I still be able to for example, solo hellfire citadel on mythic difficulty without dying?

Same concern here. With 8.0 they made it more difficult to solo things unless you’re max level. Not saying impossible, but more difficult/longer.

I don’t trust them to not make it even more difficult still should they do a level squish.

Sure, they probably won’t take our solo ability away at max level … But that’s at max level. You’ll have to level every one of your toons possibly.

Aside from assertion what evidence is there that this is an actual leak?

Yeah it’s hard to believe that they would make a new expansion where the max level zones were Un’Goro, Feralas, etc. though. That would just be incredibly hard to market and get people excited about.

Initially my gut told me this could be true. Now I’m thinking it’s fake like the last leaks.

Also lmao the biggest question of all, how are they going to level squish characters when there’s 120 levels. Will a level 80 character and a 100 character go down to 40? Seems dumb that two characters who are worlds apart are suddenly fighting the same battle.

Pretty easy to do this based on percentage of total exp to max.

The internet crawls with people who like to make perception into reality. Just saying.

True but in terms of where the individual is located currently. Say for example you’re leveling in a Zone where after the squish you should not be able to (either because you are over leveled, or under leveled). Would they just port you to a Major City?

i never claimed it was a leak. i put it in quotations suggesting that i’m skeptical of it.

it’s just really fun to theory craft.
