Yet another Astalor questline!

This is exactly the juicy stuff I was waiting for, seeing how Astalor would actually distribute it to Silvermoon.

Oh another Astalor quest!

I have no clue what the trigger for these unlocks are, but I'm very glad that the Prey story isn't ending with just an excuse for gameplay mechanics.

Doing a thread of interesting Prey targets, so that I have them more consolidated into one place.

Starting with this Magister, who so far is one of the only characters in the whole expansion I've seen using the Blood Elf heritage set lol

I will say though, Aspect of the Eagle letting Survival Hunter summon an army of magical birds is so fun to witness

Hatchet Toss has to be one of the funniest new abilities in Midnight.

It tosses a 2004 axe model at the speed of a Retribution Paladin, with the focus cost of our main spender and less damage than Kill Command lol

There's an interesting little camp in new Silvermoon that I *think* is teasing a Siren Isle-style patch for Midnight?

Everyone here is talking about how the Farstriders are forming a "task force" that can quickly quickly deploy to handle sudden threats appearing in Quel'thalas.

Oh there actually is more story for Prey, thank god. This quest will hopefully explain what "defenses" are being empowered by anguish magic.

I already love this idea so much more than just "the Sunwell did it all for them off-screen" though.

A female Wretched! Wild that this is the first one with a model we've seen in game
November 26, 2025 at 8:04 AM
Anduin quest with Valeera unlocks at max level, he sure is in the loop about a lot for someone who has been at the Sunwell this whole time lol
November 26, 2025 at 7:23 AM
Tarenar and Gidwin quest in the Arcantina is making me sad by sending me back in time to see Tirion

this little gay dragon looks fruity as hell

The choice to faction-lock exteriors is going to bite them in the ass pretty hard unfortunately, not just due to obvious things like this but also just the sheer lack of variety beyond orc/human landscapes.

I will go feral when undead exteriors come out and I can't use them in the Duskwood section.
Found the blood elf house exteriors and I sure love that these are faction locked!

Many months later, now that the expansion has concluded, @silriven.bsky.social, @claretash.bsky.social, and I have done a 'little' retrospective on The War Within!

Join us for discussions about pacing, comparisons to Dragonflight, and WoW characters who just do not serve.

As the current expansion starts to wrap up, Porter (@portergauge.bsky.social), Sil (@silriven.bsky.social) and I wanted to record a relaxed chat about our experiences with TWW, our initial thoughts on Midnight, and more - also. Arator's hair. 🤔

ENJOY! ✨

Ohhh Thalyssra's new IGC model, I love how her eyes glow and reflect here so much
November 22, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Oh mother mother mother

Timewalking is keeping it as accurate as possible to the gamplay of Shadowlands by giving you 4x the amount of stuff to earn... and a currency grind for 3 of them 💀

Prepatch testing isn't quite live with story yet, but the base for it in Twilight Highlands is active, a little joint endeavor between blood elves and void elves (and a little bit of bickering)
November 21, 2025 at 12:50 AM
The updated Thalassian Pass is gorgeous, it's got animal life and treants all around, and a little memorial wall to all of the fallen handwritten by the survivors
November 20, 2025 at 7:24 PM
I do feel like the way Blizzard has renamed certain things is causing a bit of confusion about the new Transmog system in Midnight.

Custom Sets (which are currently called Outfits on live lol) can still be saved ENTIRELY for free, those do not have slot costs to use.

Reading through Blood Ties now, gonna note some various interesting tidbits as I go through it.

It will mostly just be interesting world things or character moments, but there will DEFINITELY be book spoilers here, so ye be warned.

The normal and heroic versions aren't testable, but it looks like on Mythic, they've unfortunately entirely removed the Horde version of Pit of Saron with the revamp in Midnight.

Players of both factions now work with Jaina to rescue the Alliance, Sylvanas is entirely gone.
November 20, 2025 at 1:53 AM
Can’t believe Blizzard revealed the secret fourth Windrunner sister in a feedback post
November 19, 2025 at 9:49 PM
Faction war is BACK ON THE MENU in Voidstorm, seems like they're going the route of people going against the leadership of the Horde and Alliance to fight each other here
