Drew De Sousa: "So, one that I think is really cool is actually our intro. This is a giant mana intake facility and we're actually coming through the pipe where they take in the mana. We're actually going to utilize an artifact cloak we're introducing in K'aresh, the Reshii Wraps, to turn ourselves into energy and trick the filtration system."Zoning into Manaforge OmegaReshii WrapsAttempting to Zone into Manaforge Omega Without the Reshii WrapsReshii Wraps

"Give me 20 Sec. zoning in!"Comment by XubiiThis is cool but it also feels like a massively missed opportunity. We have the tech (as seen in multiple places now between dragonflight and the zones in TWW) that if we’re forced to go through this animation every time it should have been a seemless transition and no loading screen! Maybe it’s not possible but it would have been an insanely cool to and immersive experience to jump into the intake and just pop into the instance like it’s a real part of the open world, albeit phased.Comment by ZorridIf you're gonna make spam articles at least do it when the animation is actually cool.Comment by Aveignis"Out of This World" Sliding with the falling animation playing, then getting a purple jumpscare ggComment by takasinnersHopefully they will fix the loading screen at the end of the video. Just like they did with oribos flightmaster while changing realms.Comment by TyneicIf you're gonna make spam articles at least do it when the animation is actually cool.Comment by MavvenNothing "out of this world" with this basic animation.Comment by inafumeThis is cool but it also feels like a massively missed opportunity.

But hey, our PCs are crazy murder hobos so ofc they would jump into a weird purple rift if they saw one.

("about the get zapped", ha ha. ZAP, dead)Comment by KheypaxRBWhat about "Instance not found" type of errors? Characters will just get stuck on the door or fall to abyss? hahahComment by BetterThanNoOneIt's cool, but it isn't out of this world. It's just neat. Nothing crazy amazing lol. Wowhead clickbait as usual.Comment by CorpselanceClose the iris!Comment by quickstopnirvanathe video is 6 seconds long and people are complaining about it taking 20 seconds smh my head

(/sarcasm)Comment by callmecriticalslop article, what's newComment by ThiccleMonsterAh yes, another falling animation while travelling sideways/flying.

Can a multi billion dollar company really not improve on 20 year old animations?

And the fact that they brought this up as something really cool and that they're proud of in their interviews is just embarrassing.Comment by VarsicoWould've been nice if this animation replaced the loading screen =/Comment by Guidancewhat site is used to host those videos?Comment by SellbladeThis is cool but it also feels like a massively missed opportunity.
