World of Warcraft Shadowlands patch 9.1 Chains of Domination PTR has plenty of updates this week, including new covenant legendaries, Raid and PVP armor sets, dungeon teleports, Torghast updates and the release of Daisy the charity sloth pet! But also the first three chapters in the new 9.1 covenant campaign – The Last Sigil, An Army of Bone and Steel and The Uninvited Guests, which team us up with the Primus, Thrall & Draka, and pit us against… the Dreadlords! The story is brilliant and the new unvieled history and origins of the Nathrezim has amazing potential for the rest of the expansion. Join Taliesin and Evitel for the Weekly Reset!

  1. I would say there is no way the raid is so late that it's not coming out until November. Which makes me think the timing for the book is rather odd

  2. I dont understand why thrall was accepted by his mother so easily. The frost wolves were always purists and separatist from the other orkish clans. And thrall is not only fell tainted, but he also has no wolf companion. His wife is also not a frost wolf , making their children mixed clan progeny. Even if maldraxus changes people a bit , the unhappiness about such transgressions against clan law should be big.

  3. The most important thing coming for me is the new mounts being added to the vicious saddle vendor. Those of us that weren't playing Alliance in season 1 of BFA can now get ourselves a dope ass hippo. And that is a nice thing.

  4. The Sylvanas book seems to be similar to the Illidan book: motives that we speculated upon get clarified, the focus shifts, and everything that happens will gain a new context. "Illidan", him being more anti-hero than villian, could be a blueprint for "Sylvanas": not a redemption (lets be serious, shes way beyond that) but a new foundation and from there an explanation whats going to happen. (I dont believe she dies… but I do believe she will be put aside just like Illidan – and might be unpacked in two or three expansions from now.)
    And AGAIN its a story explaining the ingame story while NOT awailable ingame -.- Dont get me wrong, I always loved (!) reading these books since they gave me a deeper understanding of the lore and such… but without them, ingame lore is not accessible! Its a testament at how deep the WoW lore actually is, but unfortunately it is bad for the game.

  5. I main swapped to hunter recently and was delighted to find that Riverbeast pets fill the Tenacity + Mortal Wound requirement for M+.
    So when I run an M+ and need that extra bit of survivability, you better believe that (a) Maurice fights by my side.

  6. Isn't it kinda telling that in every newer expansion of every patch we got a "Could X save WoW/Expansion?"
    Something is really going wrong here, and has been like that for multiple years.

  7. The story direction isn't great and it feels like this large story has been tarnished by blizzards willingness to shoehorn in more denathrius, its a shame really. Though denathrius is a good character.

  8. "Charity is a failure of government?" That's ridiculous. Poverty is the natural state, prosperity is the cure, government can only foster an environment for success. Without prosperity, the government is useless.
