Warcraft Has Blizzard's LARGEST News 

If we ever get a Warcraft series I hope it's going to be made by the same people who do the cinematics and not another studio

"Harder to monetize" sounds so good to me. Fuck modernity, embrace tradition.

I could see a blizzard revival if they made an Arcane like show starting with the old wc3 lore and work their way into new stories, basically a do-over for the warcraft universe and then releasing games starting from there. Extremely unlikely but i can dream, warcraft was always my dreamworld when i was little but its just dead to me now.

Interesting to note that the more popular product is the one that's more difficult to monetize 🤔

10:34 I bet we are going to find her on the new island, in a quest or something, if we truly get this Avaloren thing expansion. Also, in Brackenhide Hollow the Last boss says she's not done with us, but I don't think there is any mention of her in 10.2, so I bet she will return again in 11.0 on the new islands in another dungeon or maybe raid boss. Edit: Oh and we still have the questline for the 'Disc of Tyr' which supposedly show the aspects how to regain their powers, but the datamined spell says that the new world tree will give them or something, so that's interesting as well.

Classic WoW + is something they are just overthinking too much. If they are thinking a TBC route, that isn't what is needed. Smaller updates are perfectly okay in my opinion, a dungeon here, a new smaller zone that can fill up gaps for quests where they are needed, new professions that spice up guild and solo play. If they do it properly, Classic WoW + would just be smaller patches that spice up older content a little. If they think too big, I think they will mess up.

The best thing they could do to add some content to classic would be to fill in the zones that are missing from the original map. They could re-use much of the existing assets to make non-cataclysm’d versions of those zones. They could even add new story content about the rise of the Twilight’s Hammer cult and re-use much of the dungeon and raid assets, but this time we’re stopping them before the Cataclysm happens.

Azeroth being just another sort of being makes the situation with Argus strange, how the manifestation of his soul that we fought was not just similar, but pretty much identical to how the titans have shown themselves to be. I wonder if they'll address Argus when we finally figure out what Azeroth's soul or w/e really is.

I think if they revamed all the models to be up to retail standards but with all the classic content it would be really cool.

I want Gnomeragan back. I have wanted it since Vanilla. Glad to see hope that the Worgen and Nelves get a new permanent home though.

The other side of Azeroth bringing only ruin as said by Tyr is actually really daunting in a way…think about it. The Titan forged managed to go up against and defeat four freed old gods and the entirety of their armies and the black empire but were for some reason unable to bring order and structure to the other side of Azeroth. What is over there that prevented them from doing that???

That Titan Keeper globe in Northrend sure missed a ton of landmass.

That Deathwing cinematic still gives me goosebumps, what an amazing villain!

IF they do classic + I will start playing again..

btw what happend to that one egg at the beginning of dragonflight the elemental infused one?

Are they holding content for after the sale?

The point that having older, slower paced strategic combat without it being "solved" is a point that I think so many people underestimate. I've loved WotLK classic, but knowing going into it exactly what class balance will be, the optimal builds, etc makes things feel a bit more stale than they could. Having fresh content and balancing would be hugely impactful to me at least

Guild housing around old azeroth would be cool! I wana live around Booty bay + it will make the world become alive + raid boss drop trophy to put and showoff in guild house 🔥🔥🔥🔥 achievement and stuff , it will work!

Watching Bellular almost makes me yearn to play WoW again

The whole concept of Azeroth being a world soul/potential titan material/whatever you wanna turn this into (as seen in shadowlands, that your soul gets reborn and take a form of some way, depending on where you land) - well its soo Neon Genesis Evangelion theme which i kinda like, but its a parallel, if you wanna take on that clue thread!

maybe a big stretch but that also sheds some light onto the whole "azeroth consumed the spirit element" which is a major part of Life and Nature.

I remember when they were working on the Movie, or doing press or some stuff, someone asked them "What about a TV show" and they just looked at each other going "Oh, snap. That would have been better." haha.

towards the "What is Azeroth" topic, if I had to guess, world souls are somewhat of a blank page, basically the "raw material" that the forces are able to craft into one of their own

inb4 it turns out that the surface of azeroth that we can see is just the top of the head of a corpse

are they not having any goodies that we that can't go to blizzcon can buy in game?

WC should go back to that old "sphere" of being more "dark" idk, everything is so good looking and good in retail, we gotta go back to real warcraft orcs, undeads nelf and humans separated, a bit more, idk, grimdark in it.

Azeroth not actually being a titan could be one explanation for why Hearthstone didn't use Azeroth in the most recent Hearthstone expansion "Titans," opting instead to make up new ones (They made up Amitus and turned V07TR0N into a titan rather than using Azeroth and Telogrus (the world soul Sargerus destroyed)). Though Azeroth not being a titan, or world souls not necessarily being titans, does seem like a rather large retcon.

Classic+ should be: Make old gear relevant. Make it so you have storylines to upgrade those meaningful old gear pieces (even the unique dungeon pieces) into cooler stronger pieces. But don't make the power buff to significant. So don't overtune everything. This keeps the pre expansion game still relevant and not redundant. Create new dungeons entrances within every already existing zone in order to expand the world. Dont just create new zones like every expansion did/does. Just add in stuff at the edges of zones where there should be enough room to create. Add new materials and items to create from all of the alreadt existing crafting materials within the game in order to buff and add more crafting content. Boom there you go. Good luck Blizzard! Hope this helps

If they made a Legion Classic I would play the hell out of it. That expansion kicked ass.

To me the defining feature of the Titans is they make prisons. They Lock away a lot of things. They bind and "Order" by locking stuff up. As far back as Classic I just figured the Titans were glorified jailors. I always thought that Azeroth was a prison locking away something worse than an old god.

Im ready for Mists Classic but only if exact spec balance from Mists was maintained for pvp. Cata classic i wont play but I hope people do enjoy it.

I read these books too on the ptr, I was hoping you would see them🙂

How is there not already a Warcraft anime series on like Netflix or Prime? I mean critical role got an anime before WoW, it's insane.

People expect a new Warcraft game to be announced but everyone is forgetting that Warcraft Rumble is about to come out so it is more likely that is what they mean when they say ''WoW and Warcraft announcements''

Just bought the pale Beyond, great stuff...

Classic + should resolve all the dead end quest chains

I hate getting to these videos early because even though I like Bellular I don't have 24 minutes to sit down and watch a video, so I usually just skim the comment section to find the video summarized.

might kazalgar be 10.3? isn't .3 always a new land unconnected to the rest of the expansions lands?

Over in the comments section on Wowhead about the lore books it seems about half the comments are about "OMG Eonar and Elune are queer! YAAAAAAAAAAY!" and the political fallout of WoW's further Californification.

Man if they make a warcraft tv series i want it to tell arthas's Story. 😊

What’s the name of that RPG like game or website that teaches you Python that Bellular has advertised before?

The 3D printable files is wild to me. They could have monetized those cute cartoony little figures SO hard, but they're giving them away for free?? That's SO unlike the Blizz we know!! Obviously most people don't have 3D printers but it's still really cool!!

It says a lot that going into a random cave in classic (even none HC) feels like more of an adventure than any content I've done on retail for years. The slower run speed, but mana and hp regen being low too. Classes not having access to everything. It's a much more engaging experience.

When it comes to WoW, honestly I'd be happy if they just adopted the freestyle thinking of the people who made the Ascension-version and plugged that as a new mode, donating dead servers to it. Not my best idea, but it'd be something to do and it might increase player count. I loved the look of Ascension, at least.

If you're confused and wondering what Blizz's LARGEST news was, there was no news, just speculations + some 10.2 talk

Quick recommendation - reduce the bass in your mic, the volume is way too low heavy and not as clear as it could be

Don't Pandaren say "beware the western wind"?

When thinking on making the world larger I definitely don't think of what's west of the west coast. I think whats south of the clearly tropical south ends of the world. we don't have a south pole. if we are making the world bigger it makes perfect sense to go south and you can easily make it 2x larger

Calling it now, G'Hanir is going to play the role of Yggdrasil in WoW.

I had a blast in cata and would really appreciate it coming back. UH DK with dot snapshotting was nuts. I’d go all the way through Pandaria too tbh.

I'm really not sure WHY they had to redo the World Soul speculation. It took them long enough to get the titan soul stuff out in Chronicle V1, but I'm not sure how relevant to the continuing story it will ever really be. Imo just seems like they could focus their worldbuilding elsewhere.

Does the switch version have a demo?

Actually looking forward to cata classic more than I was wotlk classic. Same goes for MOP.

"Anyhow". How odd that sounds lmao

I would really like to see the wild world be more interactive in a non NPC way. Things like sinkholes opening up, huge vine plants that can eat you which you can't attack, roaming groups of predatory animals hunting (which are much stronger than max level players), Tornados/water spouts, lava flows that happen and stay for days, etc. That kind of chaotic randomness would make questing a completely new experience compared to our standard mobs patrolling short circles with finite aggro ranges and us just mowing through every single quest mindlessly. My main issue with WoW right now is that it's supposed to be WORLD of warcraft and the world has become utterly irrelevant. Even in dragonflight they designed amazing landscapes but then let you fly over them at 750% speed and the world itself has no impact (no wind, waves, volcanic eruptions, etc Currently playing Turtle WoW and I can definitely say that they improvements they've made on it so far make the game feel a lot better, especially for neglected classes/specs and gearing.

classic plus and by that i mean a new time line is the only thing il return for at this point

Personally if they did a classic + I'd say start from vanilla and work your way back up to wrath again with twist and turns along the way kind of like an altered time line. Can keep the same fundamental building blocks but let history play out a little different. Some new bosses in the raids with new mechanics maybe a new raid or instance here and there. Different class turning and balance. Keep the old school feel but expand. Hell if they did it right they could almost play it out seasonally over 5-6 years. How would the world look if "x" person came to power over that part of the timeline or if "x" bad guy came after the world a bit early. Idea I had to help with group making was adventure halls with mission boards. Think the dailies in tbc but with a massive list of quest and instead of making them daily per character you make them post randomly every few mins and the quickest groups pick them up. Maybe have people gain an adventure score so you can't just take every mission then fail to put together a group. Have the missions be anything from do a little farming in elite areas to finding something in an instances or even gathering crafting materials.

I'm of the honest opinion that I think the new home being a whole other world tree makes sense when you consider the emotional narrative being written for Tyrande. She's tired of war, tired of her people being a victim to the Horde. They lost so much in Kalimdor and Hyjal is legitmately neighboring above the Horde's main capitol meaning that they're surrounded by Horde supply chains constantly. Whereas, now, the Kaldorei have found their kinship again in the Emerald Dragonflight, and that of the Dream, rebuilding themselves closer to the rest of the Alliance, and if we retake Gilneas, they'll both be within response range to defend each other, perhaps seeing the Kaldorei forces work alongside the Gilneans to defend Gilneas from the ever present Forsaken in Lordaeron. Geographically, it could bring interesting new stories with these factions having to learn to coexist closer to one another and reenforce their kindoms as the Alliance, leaving room for the Horde to expand with their allied races across Kalimdor. Again, this might mean seeing new settlements pop up to bolster Orgrimmar and to expand on the journey with the races we unlocked. This could also mean that, well, the Kaldorei can be safeguarded while they also have their own factions still patroling their old grounds in Kalimdor to preserve what was originally theirs, and as stated by the questline, to cleanse those lands. Again, those lands are hostile to anyone for the time being so its better to lick one's wounds where there's allies within reach to watch your back and be able to focus on strategically reclaiming the old lands.

I think they should do an ascension like classic.

Oh boy that Dawn of the Infinite's gauntlet sure is fun while playing on an EU server from Japan with 230ms!

If the roots held when he ripped it out of the world, what do you suppose happened when he ripped the old god out of the planet where garrosh still found and ate the heart?

Easy not to kill the magic with classic +. No new level cap, new quests, dungeons, raids, reps. More stuff in underdeveloped zones, rework to less popular specs. All in the spirit of classic.

Remember there are Botani still on Azeroth…

grats on tendo swatch release

Classic + is the way to go!

Classic + could literally just finish certain quest chains like the missing diplomat

Great video bell as always. But I’ve got something to add, blizzard could easily Cashion on the classic series again and they’ve completely missed a great opportunity instead of just having players go back and fulfil their nostalgia for the old game, why not instead crates and release the old expansions, but an alternate stories, all this talk about the time ways and alternate timelines. Why not release classic Warcraft but instead of thrall being rescued and becoming the green Jesus, that he is a bloodthirsty war chief. Have characters like Arthus remain a pure paladin, have varian Wynn become the Lich king alter the original stories and territories of the elves to be completely xenophobic and agessive, have them as a third faction. Have a different server we’re the burning crusade dominating Azeroth. Easy options.

Releasing the next expansion at BlizzCon doesn't make any sense, we have no real idea of how Dragonflight ends, unless 10.2 is the last patch of the expansion which seems unlikely. How are they going to announce 11.0 without spoiling the rest of the story of DF and (potentially) 10.3?

im guessing theyre gonna (for now) keep classic servers as is, keep wrath server as is, make classic cata and revamp the cata world in the next retail expansion

I need another video Bellular! I’m having withdrawals! Please!

Sandbox vs theme park isn't really a thing. It's more like correct vs incorrect content balancing. The devil is in the details. All that really splits the two concepts is balance minutiae. When someone says sand box MMO, it may evoke the concept of freedom and choice. When someone says theme park MMO, it may invoke a sort of structured series of locations that you are guided through. It is pretty trivial to turn a theme park MMO into a sandbox and it is also very trivial to add a theme park ride to a sandbox MMO. Both things have been done with extreme success. These things aren't really mutually exclusive. Just as an example, here's a path to sandbox-hood for WoW retail. Retire time walking, replace with world tiers. That's the whole process.

Have they announced when 10.2 is launching yet?

Azeroth is Hydaelyn confirmed.

Should change the name of the chanel to “BellulaRumorS”

Much of Vanilla WoW's slower paced gameplay was also lost by the players changing, not just by changes to WoW by the devs. Classic WoW was fun and there were people from back in the day playing again but not for long. "Endgame" is was a rush and many people were just ticking check boxes of the BiS lists they found online, something that didn't exist or was rare and not commonly known back in the day. I really enjoyed Turtle WoW's smaller (HC) community before the server population exploded as it felt a bit like back in the day, maybe even better with people sharing gear they didn't need. Thing is, even Vanilla WoW'S community at the end wasn't the same as at the beginning anymore. Btw, It always triggers me when I see supposed Night Elf NPCs like the Warden using Blood Elf models and animations.

I miss the good ole days and the right group of friends we used to have. I truly miss those guys.

Numbers for twitch HC classic are driven by people waiting for people to die. It's like people watching Hockey for the fights or racing for the crashes. It's not because it's good.

I remember a blue Deathwing datamined some time ago for the 19th anniversary. I always wanted them to finish their homework. Imagine if they release the underground Azjol Nerub zone that we never got (and it's compatible with Classic and Retail, so you could add it to both SOMEHOW), or Farahlon from WoD and the ogre continent, the Neptulon raid from Cata, the Shattrath raid from WoD... The heritage orc quest had a lizard saying "mAyBE tHiS wIlL bE a fOrEsT aGAiN", the NE same thing cleansing the land. We know we are going to take Gilneas back, Lordaeron will become some type of sanctuary with some alliance/horde only areas I guess... yeah, my money is on the 2026 world revamp. I wish Blizzard would say: 2024 revamp to win us all back from the mess that Shadowland was... We need something big, something that makes us feel like Argus or even more. 700 people working on the game. Proletarian, what are you doing? I'm sure it is something big and I'm hyped.

going to the eshop right now!! :D

Ok, 3d printable warcraft characters...yea guess i know what ill be doing soon.

I hope all the related content like TV or Movie will be as much approximated to books’ lore as possible. After book reading It became necessary to delete Warcraft movie because of its least interesting plot in comparison with book. Anyway That is great news Blizzard activated on Warcraft content so well.

Feels good to be a Warcraft fan right now

They have *SO* many opportunities when it comes to TV shows, animation, cartoon ect. That can be done *GOOD* and easily become hits with those outside the current fanbase. But they can also just cuck it up.

Mike Ybarra said no pirates. To hell with him.

If they don't do Cata classic I'll be disappointed.. I started in Cata so I have no ties to any of the current classic versions but I would love to play wow the way it was when I started

Where thumbnail ?

I always felt that TBC had the best group, and raid play style. I miss that feel of strategy between players. TBC allowed almost every class to be pretty viable in dungeons and raids.

id love classic wow + on new game engine really looking graphics

Give the Diablo Ip to the writers and animation studio that did the Castlevania animation on Netflix.

They should just do cata classic, its the safe option, less chance of ruining it

I think Dragonflight really pushes the idea that Order magic is just another form of corruption, just like fel. To Vyrinoth it probably wouldn't have made a difference if Alextraza bathed the dragon eggs with fel magic instead of order magic. She probably finds them equally bad. The dragon aspects might have been tricked by the Titans exactly how the draenei have been tricked by Sargeras. We just think the Titans as the good guys because we as the player base have been influenced by their propaganda.

"bloat in"... 🤣

Wait you're telling me there's no Galakrond resurrection? Wtf

Classic+ is the real play imo. Fresh content while keeping the parts of WoW that we love most. Hardcore has been a blast and I have made more friends in under a month than I did from WotLK to BfA.

Netflix? Oh where is the bait token swap

only way i'll play classic ever again is if they do something about the damn economy being broken.

Alright, but if Azeroth and word souls ain't Titans, so, why Argus became a Titan?

it feels like all the heritage armor quests are intentionally being used to wrap up old and introduce new lore and storylines to setup the world revamp.

Mop + Wod + Legion classic. If they do this, not toucing retail for years thats for sure!
