I don't really like it, to be honest. Maybe I'll have to see it in-game for myself, but WoW is more fantasy to me. But I guess we already have motorcycles and helicopters and rockets and all that.....I dunno. I'm skeptical, let's put it that way.

Honestly Rhyela, I actually agree with you. It;s almost like butchering the game to make it more modern. However, Azshara WAS butchered by goblins, so in a way it makes sense. I'll probably only be visiting that place once in a blue moon, if I feel like gathering a group of blood elves and making our own version of 90210. Seriously. xD

I think I'll actually like this.
I would not want these sort of 'modernized' additions throughout the whole game, but isolated into one Goblin area is actually a fun little feature and I'll probably go there just to hang out a lot.

Hmm... We just need a bit more love for gnomish tech now. TBH, the cars seem more like a gnomish invention. Rockets or something would seem more fitting for goblins, but ah well...

No no, it's more like, consecrate, but they leave a trail of it. So any mob that walks where it's been will take a small amount of damage.
Also generates a lot of additional threat.

It breaks my heart to see Auberdine like that. :( It's one of my favourite quest hubs in all of Azeroth and I have a ton of lovely memories from there.

The lives stream is from a private server, yes? (I mean something that person is running themselves, not the alpha/beta server.)
Also, I apologize for being a buzzkill, Ryno, but I replaced your file with a link. Last I saw Blizzard is maintaining the NDA, although they look like they probably won't cause a fuss about these leaks -- I'm sure they expected this. But I'd rather not have any files from the leak hosted here.

Just saw the updated pics of the Western Plagueland and it looks like the efforts of all those players to neutralize the Plague Cauldrons finally paid off.

I was briefly very excited by these jellyfish:

But to be there in the static world they must not be beasts.

Aw, you're right Mania.

I hadn't thought of that at first. They might just be non-targetable details or pieces of scenery.
