Who leads whom astray? Hints about Kul Tiras in WoW reappeared – but Troll objects are also gone.
For game developers, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep secrets until the announcement or release of a game. Especially when the game is constantly tested in the form of early patches and test realms. Data miners make life difficult for developers by uncovering even the smallest details hidden in the game data.
That’s why there was a leak a while ago that new armor sets were found in the files of World of Warcraft. These are named “kultirasquest” – just like there were previously “legionquest” and “draenorquest”.
For fans, it’s clear: A clear indication that the next WoW expansion takes place in Kul Tiras.
However, in the latest version of Patch 7.3 of the PTR for World of Warcraft, there was a turnaround. Some icons were removed from the list of all files that are extracted from the game data during unpacking. Among them are not only “Kul Tiras” files but also “Zandalari” files. It’s possible that Blizzard intentionally included the “Kul Tiras” information earlier to mislead the data miners.
The Red Shirt Guy, Ian Bates, however, has a different theory. He believes that the first leak regarding the implementation of the Kul Tiras armor was real. After all, the textures of the armor meet current standards and are of high quality. He argues that Blizzard is now trying to lead data miners on a false trail by simply removing a few Zandalari icons from the unpacked data.
Which addon will ultimately really come our way, we will likely find out only at BlizzCon in November. Both trolls and Kul Tiras are suitable settings for the next big chapter of WoW with Patch 8.0 – what do you think?
