My issue with the armors revealed so far has nothing to do with quality. I fully agree they’re well made and look good in the sense that they look like modern game art assets. My beef is strictly with the aesthetics of them. Bastion looks stupid. Maldraxxus, Revendreth, and this raid set are edgecringe sets fit for DKs and DHs. Ardenweald manages to look stupid in a wholly different way than Bastion.
Late reply, I know, but my thoughts are that it’s simply meant to be a BFA prelude, as immediately after the isle you go to BFA. As such, it’ll likely just be a separate experience for the separate factions, much like in BFA itself. Which is cool, honestly.
It’s not really related to BfA, and it’s only vaguely related to Shadowlands thematically. The plot of the zone is that you’re there to save an expedition of members of your faction that disappeared, and you find out that ogres and their minions are planning on sacrificing them to create an undead dragon. It’s just a classic adventure story, and the only thing that makes it an “Alliance version” is that all of the friendly NPCs are Alliance.
I don’t remember the other faction even being mentioned once, even though it does directly lead into BfA—the bridge is basically Anduin calling you up after you arrive back in Stormwind saying, “Hey, you killed a dragon? That’s cool—the Zandalari (whom we’ve not introduced to you) just destroyed all our ships, go to Kul Tiras (which we also haven’t introduced) to get more boats.”

The optional reagent sections might mean that Blizzard is going to finally let us craft the specific armor we want.

Is there any word on adding vendors with the mogs for the BFA PvP sets or warfront gear?
Not that I know of. A lot of folks would be celebrating if they did that.

It’s also kind of hilarious that they accept gold in the afterlife, proving that WoW is, indeed, an exultation of callous capitalism.

No. But if you help me move this giant sword out of Sillithus that appeared for some reason, I’ll help you remember it.
I too would like to watch Azeroth burn.

No, Sargeras was trying to spare us. Cursed with the gift of future sight, he knew how terrible Battle for Azeroth was going to be and, in one final act of mercy, the humanity and compassion of his original Titan core surged to life and he attempted to destroy Azeroth, freeing us from having to hang out with Nathanos.

something about demons and existential looming threats just makes me real happy.

Once you get to story level super hell , there’s no where to go but up!
Dont give Blizzard a challenge. They’ll end up digging deeper
Fair. They could have us go to super hell and kill the spirits of a race that was a victim of genocide.
Wait…
hey. do you wanna know a secret?
