Around Azeroth: There'll be no accusations, just friendly crustaceans
Today's Around Azeroth comes to you directly from the godforsaken hellhole that is the Atlanta airport. While we wait to see how long my flight ends up being delayed for, let's visit the beta servers, shall we? Today's shot comes to us from Shadofall of <A Filthy Addiction> on Magtheridon (US-H), who took this in the Shimmering Expanse in Vashj'ir. Seen from above, you can almost forget that it's underwater.
Note to recent submitters: Yes, we are looking at your beta screenshots! There have been quite a few submitted, many of which will be running in the next couple of weeks, so you may have to be patient.
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as emailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use Alt Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, val'kyr on mounts or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

Under the sea! Under the SEA! Down where it's wetter, that's where it's better, take it from ME!

Ugh, I hope your airport experience went well. I dislike dealing with all that mess.
"Seen from above, you can almost forget that it's underwater." I think Blizzard's done well enough to make that not true for me. Populating the zone with so many underwater lifeforms makes it feel that more realistic and unmistakable for any other locale.

Ew, Atlanta airport. That place is pretty terrible. Of course, I was spoiled by the Charlotte airport, where I could hook into the 'net for free, while sitting in a comfy rocking chair. (Seriously.)

Oh. I got stuck at the Atlanta airport one time for like five hours, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. :(

My troll hunter, his crab pet, and mr. pinchy had planned to spend a lot of time in the under water zones spamming general chat with "Under the Sea".

This game totally needs more intense over-reactions to reletively harmless comments.

Hooo-boy who shit in your cheerios this morning?

Ugh, I know this post is going to get downrated but...
I come from Georgia, just south of Atlanta. I guess you could say I'm ashamed to say I've never had a bad experience at the airport. No delays, no long lines, no bad experiences at all. Maybe I'm just extremely lucky. That said, on behalf of the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, I'm sorry. Friends? :-)

Under the Sea! Under the Sea......
There'll be no accusations, just friendly crustaceans, Under the Seaaaaaaaa!

Atlanta airport a hellhole? Wow, your standards must be out of this world. I've flown all around the country and Atlanta is by far one of the cleanest, well maintained airports I have been to. Plenty of shops and pubs to get a beer while you wait for your flight. You just trying to pad your article with nonsense just to get some sympathy play or what?

so how exactly are you gonna travel under the sea without sufficating?

I've been curious about this.
Is the breath mechanic completely removed, or perhaps just in this zone via a magic aura, or is there a never-ending breath skill that we can purchase?
Is there anyone in beta around who can answer this? Please? :D

As I've seen on Totalbiscuit's beta movie of the Vashj'ir, you gain a buff that "magically" let's you siwm underwater without having to come up for air AND let's you swim at a 60% inscreased run speed.
Nonetheless, I'm still going to use my hard-earned (please read as freaking pain-in-the-arse hard to get) Sea Turtle :P

Why do naga want to conquer land if they have this amazing underwater world?

The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake.

Please stop putting Cataclsym spoiler screenshots in Around Azeroth. I love this column, I'd hate to have to avoid it for the next 3 to 4 months. :(
