lol those boss names, its cool to see that argus will have its own world bosses, to blizzes credit they've pushed out quite a few world bosses this expac, however, the naming is amusing to me. It almost seems like they smashed their face on the keyboard and then added vowels to whatever they got.

imma try, next world boss is awofenk- destroyer of worlds

Names is an interesting topic when it comes to games and mythology. Blizzard borrows a lot of naming conventions from mythology and also develop their own.

Already existing naming conventions:

-riel -iel and - rael -ael are used usually for divine beings or angels (Also corrupted ones), in Blizzard games (Andariel and Urzael for example in Diablo) but are not exclusive (Duriel is not a divine being for example)

-chro- is related to time, and Blizzard makes no exception. A lot of the Infinite Dragonflight in WoW have this naming convention (And not exclusively, as we all know our favorite Chromie.

 

Blizzard also develops their own naming conventions:

-Strasz and Strasza are THE "ahhh yes, we know that!" conventions. If you see a humanoid NPC with the word "strasza" in it, you are 100% certain that in fact, the humanoid form is a fake.

 

A few other examples:

Names that start with V- and are combo'd with a demon race, usually have vampiric traits.

-trax and -tras are always related to demons or races with demonic affinity (Such as satyrs)

Dragonflights and Elementals also have their own naming conventions.

 

 

There's probably 5 dozen more but in order to keep this already large post from getting even larger, I won't name them. For most of the bosses in this list you can make a strong guess as to what race they are or affinity they have without reading the titles (pit lord for example) although you'd make a rough prediction (Demonic) instead of accurate (Pit Lord):

 

Aedis - sounds magical, I'd personally guess it to be a mage, likely blood elf or nightborne. I would have been wrong on this one.

Zedaat - sounds imp-ish or fel-lord-ish. The title "Void-blade" does seem that I might be correct on that one.

Folnuna - sounds celestial (nuna, luna) - possibly druidic or priestly.

Alluradel - sounds very Night-elf flavored, again druidic or priestly.

Percontatum - makes me think the Consortium are back, although I doubt this is the case seeing as it's Argus and everything.

Ovetigo - no clue other than that it resembles vertigo, which again is hard to associate with a race unless talking Arakkoa. Perhaps something related to the titans.

Sotanathor - the latter part sounds very much like a human name. But since it's Argus, this seems extremely unlikely.

Vilemus - This is the easiest one even without the title. I wouldn't have guessed a Pit Lord myself however. I'd have guessed it to be a Nathrezim like Varimathras; Regardless, definitely a demon under the Burning Legion.

 

So even though the predictions seem quite reasonable (To me at least) I'm sure I'm absolutely wrong on about half of them. But I only allowed myself to guess on the names and not the setting (Argus, Burning legion), which made it a bit harder. I have not seen any of the models (If they're available already) to make the guesswork more fair.

 

 

All in all though, there's so many names in WoW right now, I doubt they had any creativity left for names 8 years ago ;)

Aedis is a Vrykul, Zedaat is an Ethereal, Kena seems to be the sister of the fat Broken Shore imp lady (same model as Ana-Mouz), Alluradel is a succubus, Percontatum is a tormentor (VoTW 2nd boss), Ovetigo (Durumu).

I never expected Zedaat to be a Consortium dude, but I am surprised to see one on Argus! I was pretty much mistaken on all accounts it seems, with Sotanathor not linked to a model yet.

 

I wonder what the hell the Consortium is doing on Argus. *Even though we don't really know what they were up to in Outland either* one of the most mysterious races in the game right now for sure.

      As with other megadungeons, Dawn of the Infinite will be separated into two wings with Mythic+ and Heroic difficulty available in a future update to the game.
      This will probably occur at around Season 3 when a new dungeon rotation's added.
      The latest Patch 10.1.5 Build 49908 adds entries of two separate wings for the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon, which means it will be enabled for Mythic+ in the future with Heroic difficulty available:
      Dawn of the Infinite: Galakrond's Fall - The infinite dragonflight has invaded the Bronze Temple. Help Nozdormu and Chromie take back the Timeways! Dawn of the Infinite: Murozond's Rise - Murozond rises. Race against time with Chromie to correct the past!

      Blizzard is adding upgrade tracks for Mythic Item Level 441 gear in Patch 10.1.5.
      Currently on live servers you cannot upgrade Mythic gear. However, that's about to change in Fractures in Time when Mythic Gear will receive 3 upgrade ranks.
      Rank 1 Upgrade: Item Level 441 > 443 Rank 2 Upgrade: Item Level 443 - 445 Rank 3 Upgrade: Item level 445-447 The change also applies retroactively to Great Vault loot / any loot obtained before the patch goes live, as per Reddit comments.

      Twitch has posted new branded content guidelines leaving many streamers disappointed. After witnessing the initial community reaction, Twitch apologized for the confusion and frustration caused and promised to rewrite them.
      The guidelines would limit on-stream logos to 3% of screen size and disallow burned-in video, display, and audio ads, which could have devastating effects on streamers.
      Streamers would still be able to use channel page panel ads, products in the background of their stream, links in chat, discuss/unbox products, and play sponsored games, as stated in the guidelines.

      Placeholder for tweet 1666129789160239111 Twitch later responded to their policy change after witnessing the community backlash and said they "do not intend to limit streamers' ability to enter into direct relationships with sponsors" and that "guidelines were intended to prohibit third-party ad networks from selling burned in video and display ads on Twitch".
