It's weird that WoW Classic has way more intense weather than any other content. Partly because the weather corresponds to the foliage density which you can crank all the way up in Classic.
yeah when the player base isn't being racist children. Honestly have never played a game with a more disgusting community. Some games are over moderated but HoTs has zero moderation and those kids say some of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in a game.
I'm really glad this leak turned out to be fake. I infinitely prefer these vertical zones (going deeper into the earth with each zone) and the theme behind it.
I enjoyed HotS so much and I hope it comes back in a big way. As a smite player I could never really get into Dota or LoL but HotS was perfect for me. Multiple game modes/types. All your favorite characters and play styles.
Absolutely! Its odd that it was shut down, when it was profitable, just not as profitable as they wanted it to be. Don't have hopes for regular new content though, chances are you will most likely become disappointed. Unless a new game is introduced, theres little incentive to continue developing HotS as the profit is limited, most players hoarded a ton of skins already.
@@hifive5067ive come to accept that they have abandonned it. It doesnt bother me because i still play it alot its a great game generally except for the quickmatch imbalances that happen sometimes
I'll be honest if HotS was positioned as the casual friendly moba that it is and leaned into that instead of trying to go the esports route, I think it would do a lot better.
Love how Bellular videos explain the lore 100x times better than we ever see the lore in-game. There's so much cool stuff with Warcraft lore... we just need a good direction and of couse, get Danuser out.
I just want hots to stay hots and never add carrys tbh. The teamplay is what I most love about it and the thing that keep me playing in comparison to other mobas.
I’d be disappointed if the 10th expansion in WoW’s 20th anniversary and Blizzards 30th anniversary was just ‘Go to another island we just found’. Admittedly a more interesting island on the back side of Azeroth, but still, I was hoping for bigger.
I think it would be cool to have dynamic mounts available from timewalking. Frost wyrm for wrath, nether ray for bc, twilight drake for cata and so forth
I don’t even think that the leak looks bad per say but I’ve never seen people less excited for retail wow, its not even like SL where people were disappointed and angry, its even worse, people just don’t care anymore, there’s 0 excitement. People aren’t disappointed or angry anymore, they’re apathetic, which is 10x worse. WoW needs something big to bring excitement back, i hope they can deliver.
there's a soundmix issue. After the advertisement, the sound is only on the left ear instead of stereo. thanks for the video Bellular, thought you should know! Edit: it's only for about a minute
This! I would love that! Also wish PvP gearing went back to the way it was in WOTLK. I hate this upgrading each slot a certain amount and the item level change bs we have now. Would love to earn a blue set then replace it with conquest gear and that be that.
WoW needs some kind of reset. I've bought each expansion but quickly been turned off from the game due to the system complexity and lack of staying power. Maybe I'm just a classic player? I enjoy that style of game quite a bit more.
I'm sure the Blizzcon streams being free and there being no virtual ticket this year has everything to do with Blizzard's need to have as many people as humanly possible get every drop of good news they have to offer.
if this is actually the xpac im 100% down, i dont think you can go wrong with basing an xpac around lore from any of the OG WoW races. the success of a xpac depends on its content, look at Mists, eveyone thought it was a meme when it was unveiled but its looked back at as one of the best.
To me it could go either way. It looks very boring on the surface, but yes the OG WoW races are what make the world great, so if they do well with delivering that type of content, it could be amazing. I doubt it though. I think the current narrative director is a moron.
I swear i don’t understand how you people can play retail dumpster fire…. You’re part of The reason why we may never get classic +. Its about sending a message and you’re not helping
@@terrodar19 Because most people aren't remotely interested in living in the past, that shit was 20 fucking years ago move on with your life already lmfao.
you might alone in thinking mists was a good expansion. it had good systems but that was about all it had. the raids weren't very inspiring besides soo and pvp was just one shots. thematically it drove people away more than anything.
This expansion has had the best content support, and overall quality of life improvements. The gameplay is great, especially with talent trees back. So why don't you have hope?
@@quizkill For some reason the narrative and design has to overlap 100% with their nostalgia. DF story pacing is a bit shoddy and lacks tension and proper pay-off. But instead of focussing on that it's all just "weak and soy". Buzzwords and broad/vague statements instead of concrete feedback.
The leaks are absolutely real. The screenshots are one thing, but as a web designer what really has me convinced is the website. It’s just too good. The web design is amazing. The typography is absolutely on point, the UX is great and the copy (something people often don’t think of) is so well written. Either this was a fake made by the most incredible jack of all trades mad lad ever, or it’s real.
It's a poor quality photo of a "website", there isn't much to go off with that. If these leaks were anything of substance there would be something showing a new city hub or things not seen already in game. These are just well done fakes, it's funny seeing you guys fall for it.
The copy is not in American English, which is a bit of a giveaway for me. I'm not convinced. Also the screenshots look fake to me, they aren't 'of' anything in particular, no focus point. No buildings. Very easy to fake with a private client and blender.
I'm saying it, this all comes too late, if we would have had rated solo shuffle and rated solo bgs 6-10 years ago, that would have been another story. To look at the lost potential over the years is so sad. They didn't show love for pvp in a decade. Imagine if they had created crazy good looking armors and other rewards, only obtainable from PvP, but no, it was always only PvE re-colors, nothing rewarding, poor design in general. Events for PvE & PvP players, against other servers maybe, were players getting highlighted and honored on the official website or something, there was so much potential. You could have done so much more without a lot of effort....! But what we felt as players was, that the system behind WoW is a company, that is mainly interested in decreasing costs, no GMs, no teams that interact with the community, just no soul and no love for the game anymore. We autopiloted through a game that was mainly designed as a system that is fully automated for the needs of the publisher, to avoid any unnecessary costs while keeping the highest possible revenue at same time. It's whatever, the game had it's time and also great times, but people enjoy classic because it's the foundation of the success story WoW had. However, this will also come to an end... WoW needs a full reset, basically a WoW.2, made with a new graphics engine and simplified systems and core class identity and the most important thing, it needs developers that love the game. Delete half of the spells, no one wants to play Beethoven's sonata on their keyboard to play their character. Also get rid of addons, if you only can play the game with a bunch of addons, dude, then something is off, you need no specialist to tell you that.
One thing about HOTS. Everyone is going crazy about this patch on the ptr like it's something brand new. Why? They just had a bugfix patch go live back on September 20, so it's not like they aren't keeping the game updated. Now if this one actually contained content updates, then I could see the reason for the hullabaloo, but for just another bugfix patch? C'mon...
RBG's is absolutely more fun to watch and understand than arena. You don't have to be a giga PvP'er to understand "capture the flag" or "capture the node". Not only that, arena emphasises the most niche hyper synergistic classes (RMP anybody?) whereas RBG's emphasise mixing larger amount of classes together with abilities and toolkits that are more suited to objective play. EG, DK has a 90% slow on death and decay OR a 40 yard grip. 40 yard grip is cool in arena, but dropping a 90% slow in the WSG tunnel to peel for your FC is fun gameplay. It just feels more open ended and you can "win" multiple times in a match ie stealing a base or returning a flag at the last second. I'm very excited for the solo RBG format, I think it will appeal to such a larger audience than arena currently does.
I think bliz should have a read button for the questlines so much is being missed in the quests because no one reads them. just a thought we could have a story teller voice read them out. plus my eyes are getting bad lol
They definitely should add this. There’s an add on called voiceover that reads out all the quests in the game to you. It’s amazing. It should be baseline.
would rather have VA's for it but I wouldn't mind some AI stuff now too, accessibility, cost effective, and in my work atm we've moved to AI voice overs and it's been great for our productivity
The fundamental idea is good, for this to work they also need to get a grip on how characters talk in the WoW universe, they are constantly out of breath and take a minute to finish every single sentence. Just make them talk normally, dramatic pauses can have their time but not every single NPC interaction and cinematic scene. It feels really cliche and is exhausting to listen to. I towuld do wonders for characters and the story if they only fixed that alone. The characters would start becoming actual characters, not forced dramaqueens.
I think avaloren will be dope if it’s anything like dragonflight I think the games been moving in a good direction but then again, my opinions are often different from the masses. I don’t really have any expansions I hated, I just didn’t like content droughts but the content they have made time and time again I have enjoyed.
Also just hit me, since vyranoth is being included in the empowering achievement, what if SHE becomes the white dragonflight? There has always been flavor text for that possibility...seems a bit of a coinkeydink a white skin comes out just as this enigma of a dragon joins our side just to be included in the power of the new world tree. It'd be a fitting character arc for her to spite the titans just to find out she can still hold onto her values and still fight alongside alexatrasza. If this tree's empowerment is similar to the initial titan elevation, it may even change her just as the order magic did. But since it's more the power of Elune from the tree/tear...white is fitting. ALSO sure is a coinkeydink there's a white and blue Elune themed night elf skin and a matching mount as part of the new subscription plan aye?!? Kinda thinking Elune make make another appearance at the end of this raid as well. It would all tie together with a nice bow
For a while hots got me away from league; it is a great game, i’m glad there’s at least something happening with it. Killing it off completely would be a shame; regarding the skins i tend to agree - they’re really good
I really don’t want this supposed leak to be real. It just looks like dragonflight x draenor. I’d prefer void vs light or demons again but in more down to earth way. I know they want to move on and make something new but I feel it will be hard to make people feel excited about unknown shit.
The whole thing about Tyr makes me wonder... Does Odyn know the 'mortals' are looking to revive him? And what will he do once he's back? I'm sure he won't be pleased with all the secrets Tyr knows that he might pass on. I think it'd be interesting in the next expansion if Odyn throws a fit and he's sort of one of the 'baddies' we have to face.
If Malfurion turns up at the very end of the cinematic to save the day they could totally have the METAL AF story they need. Fyrak almost gets a massive killing blow and roots burst out of the tree, Malf shows up on a branch and fucks shit up.... man... that would be awesome... Wont happen but... would be cool.
What I don't understand is how could we get a new trailer of the next expansion without spoiling this one? We haven't got an ending of Dragonflight and Blizzard likes continuity so I am a bit worried. 😅
I am hoping next expansion has more rewarding world content. This expansion world content reward is god awful. Blizz doesn't need AP or titan-forging. They could something else.
I want to think that it was a leak by Blizz, and also a red herring. They know how much of a topic "Avaloren" has been for the past month or so, so it's pretty easy to take and run with it.
That is a lose lose situation for Blizz. How often are crazy WoW fans ranting about all the things they expected and didn't get without Blizz making intentional leaks. What if people ended up liking the leak more than the actual reveal and it was later confirmed that blizz was the source? There are so many ways for this to backfire and not much, if anything, to gain.
let them add M+ to LFG, LFD that would be great for me personally. They dont have to let us pus highest keys in there but even if they said like M0 - M10 for example could be made in group finder it would at least get people experience before stepping up into pre mades.
Bellular - Big question - Can you ask Blizzard if there are any incentives to discourage the commercialism of paying to win. E.g. by making gold non tradeable, capping the max price of items on AH? The core of the game (classic and retail) is being ruined by GDKP seller runs and RMT’s. What do they have in mind to put the game back in the hands of the community and not in the hands of sellers?
I think someone over there understands HOTS has a solid and loyal fanbase. I don't play nearly as often as I used to but if you go on at any time of day and want to do an ARAM its almost insta queues at 6 p.m. or 6 a.m. Do yourself a favor and turn off general tho. It makes the old Barrens chat look like a kids show.
Honestly, I haven’t thought about HotS for awhile, but hearing about the potential return of it kinda set something off in my head. I suddenly got this idea in my head for a cinematic trailer that basically features Illidan doing one of his famous monologues, maybe starting off with something like ‘… We were not prepared.’, before giving a rundown of the current state of things. Then there’d be a big show of new and returning characters getting together to fight the big bad - the Raven Lord, if I remember right - and he ends with something like, ‘Are we prepared this time? … Let’s find out!’ That’d be totally epic
In my headcanon I made Hots into a separate storyline where some wow characters get sucked off to the Nexus during transit to Wod Dreanor. Im not sure it has a serious place in wow the game itself, but it could be a fun patch/side zone if nothing else.
damn... can't make it to the con this year but I live very close. Have fun in Cali lads! And I work at Starbucks with a manager that has been with the company for almost 20 years, if you want a good cup of coffee....
The new pvp mode makes me think of the difference in player base in Super Smash Bros. The hardcore serious players want to have items turned off and play on the battlefield map for maximum fairness and skill focus. But the average player wants the chaos and entertainment value of the original mode. I hope they build more on this in all aspects of WoW and maybe it can reach the value of a game you log in to have fun and not just to get your dailies done.
i hope the leak is fake because that just sounds like the most boring and generic expansion. The one leak with the hole in Siluthus after removing the sword sounded much better with the underground zone under silithus.
I never understand these armies of people that scour through data and so-called leaks to figure out “what’s next”. Isn’t it infinitely more enjoyable to not know and be truly surprised!?
For them, scouring through the data is the enjoyable part. Different folks, different strokes. It’s no different than someone choosing to play a class you don’t like and you can’t figure out why they enjoy it.
I'm just gonna tank the floor boss, face down, and scream into it. I'm exhausted by WoW and my soul has never stopped hurting since the latter half of BFA, all of Shadowlands, and almost all of Dragonflight. Trying to like something and finding no joy; I'm just screaming "What am I doing wrooooong?!" 😅
Blizzard really needs to step the fuck up with 11.0 to earn back my sub. Not that they seem to give much of a shit about it, but damn.. It's sad to see what Retail has become over the years, even if it is getting better; the fact that the Classic player count is higher should really speak volumes to Blizzards neglect.
"Hey fire elemental! Wanna burn some shit?" and the explanation behind the portal creating axe being "it does" is exactly what I've been missing from WoW. We don't need big explanations behind magic cause is magic, don't ask questions.
My daughter is in her 3rd and last year of Game Dev in college. She thinks the reason why everything is being pushed quickly is because how Microsoft bought out Blizz. She thinks that maybe M/S will make them make changes behind the scenes in order to make things run smoothly before the next expansion drops.
If the discs are in the past in Suramar, shouldn't we check if they are still hidden in the present in the same spot? Time travel just makes plot fall apart.

ur mic is not working properly one side has more sound
welp this aged like milk
The leak is at 6:32.
THANK YOU kind sir. And im really sorry Bellular, you are cool but holly fuck i cant stand you stalling for 90% of your videos anymore.
Thanks. Love Bellular and his work, but this is like the 40th video on leaks in the last month. Just want the scoop not the flavor.
Lifesaver, every YT video should have someone like you to tell us when the fluff stops and the actual video begins.
Hero.
You the man
We need dynamic weather and more lively NPCs In the new zones, also Vanilla-TBC had the most interesting skyboxes, wish they’d bring those back.
Actually dynamic weather is a good thing. It could change drop rates on certain items
It's weird that WoW Classic has way more intense weather than any other content. Partly because the weather corresponds to the foliage density which you can crank all the way up in Classic.
Maybe they can hire laid off bungie employees for those skyboxes
But we do have dynamic weather in Dragonflight...
I would love for HOTS to come back, its so damn fun.
I am hooked for this! :)
yeah when the player base isn't being racist children. Honestly have never played a game with a more disgusting community. Some games are over moderated but HoTs has zero moderation and those kids say some of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in a game.
HOTS fans, you are few but you still exist ❤️
So true! I totally would play again. I remember the old days when It was kind of new and my friends and I played tons :)
Meh, it was a knock off Moba. It failed for a reason.
That aged poorly…. In the best way possible!
The leak is at 6:32 and stops at 8:08. A minute and a half talking about the subject at hand (the video title) of a 24 minute video.
I'm really glad this leak turned out to be fake. I infinitely prefer these vertical zones (going deeper into the earth with each zone) and the theme behind it.
Belluar releases this vid then says he saw the saga coming all along

why care about retail? Retail is over
I think it would be cool to have dynamic mounts available from timewalking. Frost wyrm for wrath, nether ray for bc, twilight drake for cata and so forth
A perfectly formulaic expansion is what I expect. Raid tiers, Dungeon and maybe a new Battleground and an Arena and…an…zzz

This! I would love that! Also wish PvP gearing went back to the way it was in WOTLK. I hate this upgrading each slot a certain amount and the item level change bs we have now. Would love to earn a blue set then replace it with conquest gear and that be that.

Also just hit me, since vyranoth is being included in the empowering achievement, what if SHE becomes the white dragonflight? There has always been flavor text for that possibility...seems a bit of a coinkeydink a white skin comes out just as this enigma of a dragon joins our side just to be included in the power of the new world tree.
It'd be a fitting character arc for her to spite the titans just to find out she can still hold onto her values and still fight alongside alexatrasza.
If this tree's empowerment is similar to the initial titan elevation, it may even change her just as the order magic did. But since it's more the power of Elune from the tree/tear...white is fitting. ALSO sure is a coinkeydink there's a white and blue Elune themed night elf skin and a matching mount as part of the new subscription plan aye?!?
Kinda thinking Elune make make another appearance at the end of this raid as well. It would all tie together with a nice bow
For a while hots got me away from league; it is a great game, i’m glad there’s at least something happening with it. Killing it off completely would be a shame; regarding the skins i tend to agree - they’re really good
I really don’t want this supposed leak to be real. It just looks like dragonflight x draenor. I’d prefer void vs light or demons again but in more down to earth way. I know they want to move on and make something new but I feel it will be hard to make people feel excited about unknown shit.
The whole thing about Tyr makes me wonder...
Does Odyn know the 'mortals' are looking to revive him? And what will he do once he's back? I'm sure he won't be pleased with all the secrets Tyr knows that he might pass on.
I think it'd be interesting in the next expansion if Odyn throws a fit and he's sort of one of the 'baddies' we have to face.
If Malfurion turns up at the very end of the cinematic to save the day they could totally have the METAL AF story they need. Fyrak almost gets a massive killing blow and roots burst out of the tree, Malf shows up on a branch and fucks shit up.... man... that would be awesome... Wont happen but... would be cool.
Turns out.. major Blizzard troll?
Rated battleground solo que would be so nice! I think it would tryly increase the output in pvp
the leak lookin like Draenor 2.0. got gorgrond, frostfire ridge, the jungle and Skettis before it was barren
I want HotS to come back so bad
My friends and i have recently started playing HOTS again and would love a revival. It still has a good community
What I don't understand is how could we get a new trailer of the next expansion without spoiling this one? We haven't got an ending of Dragonflight and Blizzard likes continuity so I am a bit worried. 😅
Don't forget the music in HOTS, some of those mixes are bloody brilliant.
More random zones I’ll never remember!!! Woohoo!
I am hoping next expansion has more rewarding world content. This expansion world content reward is god awful. Blizz doesn't need AP or titan-forging. They could something else.
They don't care about world content, they only care about m+
I want to think that it was a leak by Blizz, and also a red herring. They know how much of a topic "Avaloren" has been for the past month or so, so it's pretty easy to take and run with it.
Maybe it’s a zone included in the expansion but not the main focus?
That is a lose lose situation for Blizz. How often are crazy WoW fans ranting about all the things they expected and didn't get without Blizz making intentional leaks. What if people ended up liking the leak more than the actual reveal and it was later confirmed that blizz was the source? There are so many ways for this to backfire and not much, if anything, to gain.
I don't why people focus so much on Avaloren,it came from a random book in Forbidden Reach made by a quest designer that was laid off from the company
let them add M+ to LFG, LFD that would be great for me personally. They dont have to let us pus highest keys in there but even if they said like M0 - M10 for example could be made in group finder it would at least get people experience before stepping up into pre mades.
At the start i was enjoying Dragon Flight, but it felt stale after a while.
it will end up that azeroth is actually an archipelago made up of islands that are all the same
Bellular - Big question - Can you ask Blizzard if there are any incentives to discourage the commercialism of paying to win. E.g. by making gold non tradeable, capping the max price of items on AH? The core of the game (classic and retail) is being ruined by GDKP seller runs and RMT’s. What do they have in mind to put the game back in the hands of the community and not in the hands of sellers?
I wonder if the tier sets that are in current game going to change? For example judgment set? Any know what will happen?
i heard they even upgraded the cosby suite to the epstein suite!
Wouldn't that be De-Aged it.
Based, common blizzard W
Of course to be more inclusive they will no longer be seperating the designated raping areas by gender instead opting for a gender neutral aproach
I think someone over there understands HOTS has a solid and loyal fanbase. I don't play nearly as often as I used to but if you go on at any time of day and want to do an ARAM its almost insta queues at 6 p.m. or 6 a.m. Do yourself a favor and turn off general tho. It makes the old Barrens chat look like a kids show.
Honestly, I haven’t thought about HotS for awhile, but hearing about the potential return of it kinda set something off in my head. I suddenly got this idea in my head for a cinematic trailer that basically features Illidan doing one of his famous monologues, maybe starting off with something like ‘… We were not prepared.’, before giving a rundown of the current state of things. Then there’d be a big show of new and returning characters getting together to fight the big bad - the Raven Lord, if I remember right - and he ends with something like, ‘Are we prepared this time? … Let’s find out!’ That’d be totally epic
In my headcanon I made Hots into a separate storyline where some wow characters get sucked off to the Nexus during transit to Wod Dreanor.
Im not sure it has a serious place in wow the game itself, but it could be a fun patch/side zone if nothing else.
Sadly, this will forever be an idea. Blizzard will never do anything for HoTS anymore, which is very unfortunate indeed.
damn... can't make it to the con this year but I live very close. Have fun in Cali lads! And I work at Starbucks with a manager that has been with the company for almost 20 years, if you want a good cup of coffee....
The new pvp mode makes me think of the difference in player base in Super Smash Bros. The hardcore serious players want to have items turned off and play on the battlefield map for maximum fairness and skill focus. But the average player wants the chaos and entertainment value of the original mode. I hope they build more on this in all aspects of WoW and maybe it can reach the value of a game you log in to have fun and not just to get your dailies done.
Anyone else think that the rock Triceratops in the "Screenshot" leaks look look an adult version of the Briarhorn hatchling from the Rifts?
It will be interesting to see where we are going in the next expansion and if this leak is true or false 👌 Either way, looking forward to it! 😊
They need to hit the reset button on wow , its just gone to far
I debated going, been playing this game for over a decade, but $300 for admission? Bruh
Tyrande does have some nice back muscles. Comes from carrying the entire Night Elf nation on her back. No thanks to Elune.
i hope the leak is fake because that just sounds like the most boring and generic expansion. The one leak with the hole in Siluthus after removing the sword sounded much better with the underground zone under silithus.
I never understand these armies of people that scour through data and so-called leaks to figure out “what’s next”. Isn’t it infinitely more enjoyable to not know and be truly surprised!?
Its tradition at this point. Its fun to discuss what "leaks" and to find out which one ended up being the truth.
For them, scouring through the data is the enjoyable part. Different folks, different strokes. It’s no different than someone choosing to play a class you don’t like and you can’t figure out why they enjoy it.
Boooring. Ice zone, desert, jungle and grizzly hills. Meh
2:51 AHH... audio balance... suddenly you were on my left side. LMAO
HOTS was such a good game, the fact that it failed shows how poorly Blizzard has been managing their IP for the greater part of the last decade.
no it does not look like an ingame screenshot....
HoTS is the only Moba I actually enjoyed playing. 🙏
That image makes my think of draenor which has me a bit concerned on how original the expansion areas will feel if that’s a real image.
I'm just gonna tank the floor boss, face down, and scream into it. I'm exhausted by WoW and my soul has never stopped hurting since the latter half of BFA, all of Shadowlands, and almost all of Dragonflight. Trying to like something and finding no joy; I'm just screaming "What am I doing wrooooong?!" 😅
Blizzard really needs to step the fuck up with 11.0 to earn back my sub. Not that they seem to give much of a shit about it, but damn.. It's sad to see what Retail has become over the years, even if it is getting better; the fact that the Classic player count is higher should really speak volumes to Blizzards neglect.
I dunno. If this leak is real, shouldn't there be an expansion logo or the new capital city somewhere in the leak? Seems abit sus.
Looks boring AF can tell you now this next expansion will be pants going buy the way expansions are
"Hey fire elemental! Wanna burn some shit?" and the explanation behind the portal creating axe being "it does" is exactly what I've been missing from WoW. We don't need big explanations behind magic cause is magic, don't ask questions.
My daughter is in her 3rd and last year of Game Dev in college. She thinks the reason why everything is being pushed quickly is because how Microsoft bought out Blizz. She thinks that maybe M/S will make them make changes behind the scenes in order to make things run smoothly before the next expansion drops.
I know it's subjective, but I really, really..... really don't care about Avaloren.
If the discs are in the past in Suramar, shouldn't we check if they are still hidden in the present in the same spot? Time travel just makes plot fall apart.
They won't be there in the present because we've already taken them from the past, obviously.
Still annoyed we don't have playable Vry'kul, tuskarr and Ogres at this point!
Samuro played so well in HotS he could be a nice template für a hero class in wow
