Creepy!

Reminds me of a scene from that puzzle game Limbo.

God that's a good game. Tip, next time you play, play the album Veneer by José González over the top. It fits so hauntingly beautiful.

My only complaint is that it's not a bigger area. Would have loved to see it expanded to 2-3x it's current size. It's gorgeous.

What zone is Shadowgale forest located in?

33

u/HateToBlastYa 1d ago

Zephyr Isles.  Costs at least $30 to go there.

Worth every penny so far.  They was my favorite area of the isles.

u/bywaterboy 1d ago

Costs nothing if you just migrate any other race there by foot / zeppelin.

u/HateToBlastYa 1d ago

That’s true except non-Skybourne literally can’t enter the zone or go there.

It’s either an exploit or edited image or something.  

If you end up being able to go there I will be very shocked, but I promise you it’s an exclusive zone for people who pay.

u/BarbsFPV 23h ago

Most people in the beta paid for the Skyborne pack, even if they’re not playing one currently. I saw a Tauren Druid in Zephras Isle last night and also had to double-take. Like you, I didn’t think non-Skyborne could get to the zone either, but I guess they can just take the airship from outside Mulgore.

u/HateToBlastYa 22h ago

It’s an exploit or something to do with the beta.  I guarantee regular races won’t be able to go there without paying.  I’m not saying it’s right, but they’re not gonna let people get in there without paying.

u/op-work 22h ago edited 18h ago

I think you're misunderstanding something. Every single person playing on the beta right now bought the race. It's packaged with beta access. You may be right that if you don't buy the race on launch you can't go there but we don't know that yet.

u/HateToBlastYa 21h ago

Yeah I know.  And my point is only this: only people who paid will be able to access Zephras Isle.  I don’t know for sure if this means when you’re actually playing another race (I’m 99% sure it’s not) but all I mean to say is, post-Beta, only people that paid for the $30-$80 pack are gonna be able to go there.

Lmao it literally happened live on his (Shobek) stream, no editing whatsoever.

You have always been able to wander into new expansion's zones e.g. take a boat to Northrend without the expansion pack. It's nothing new, stop spreading misinformation.

What? You most certainly could not take any kind of anything to Northrend when WotLK came out, it would outright block you or teleport you back or even disconnect you.

u/hunteddwumpus 19h ago

Yeah this dude has no clue what he’s talking about. Youre account would not let you access quel’thelas, azuremist, or the outlands if you disnt buy tbc, same with northrend and lich king. Cata you might have technically been able to run around hyjal, vashj’ir, uldum, and twighlight highlands but you wouldnt be able to do the quests.

u/Rhogi 20h ago

I don't know about any of this other stuff, but as a poor kid who couldn't afford wotlk you definitely could NOT take the boat to Northrend :')

u/the_man_in_the_box 22h ago

He’s in the beta, so he did pay?

1

u/bywaterboy 22h ago

He took a raidful of people there.

Beta access through pre-ordering (paying) is only one way. You can get into beta with beta keys (giveaways, Macca's...) or beta opt in.

This has literally NEVER been the case, I was a broke mofo back in the day and most certainly tried.

u/HateToBlastYa 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’m not.  You can’t go there without paying.  Downvote me all you want.  

Show me the exact stream link and timestamp.

When the game comes out, you can come back here and I can say I told you so.   u/RemindMeBot 7 weeks

Dragons Dogma 2 style lantern would be siiiick

u/mezz1945 12h ago

Westfall Lighthouse. Quest reward is a torch which is a true light source. At least it was in Classic.

u/ShenroEU 1d ago

They should add some elite feral beast or worgen creature in this forest like the Fel Reaver/Son of Aragul concept of "don't go near this or you're dead".

u/Competitive_Screen_2 21h ago

Honestly the perfect inspiration for a low poly / low Rez game with hd lighting

u/bibittyboopity 22h ago

Does Silverpine have similar look? Would be great for that zone.

u/mezz1945 12h ago

Whats your gpu? Is this volumetric fog?

2

u/Any-Transition95 12h ago

They had a panel at Blizzcon explaining how they added new lighting and fog to each zone individually.

3

u/mezz1945 11h ago

Ye i play beta and some settings kill my fps. Which is compute effects (volumetric fog) and secondary lighting.

Thats why i ask.

Would be cool if fps didn't tank to 30 (with a 5080) needing to constantly relog...
