about those blood trolls, would be cool to play as them

gives a better example of how finished/unfinished it is
i want one of nazmir
yeah zandalar needs a lot of work still
plenty of time though
fog effect is cool
hollow dock
I want to see Maw of Nzoth
uncut vault
Doesnt look like it needs a lot of work. A few assets need finished but most of the textures are there
dense plover
lots of the ground is empty and transitions are missing
hollow dock
Textures aren't the only thing that makes a map tho
dense plover
empty areas are a waste
space is important
it needs to be used wisely
and as effectively as possible
dense plover
i wish i knew how to set up a sandbox
zuldazar needs work
not the actual city
but the zone itself
the mountains are essentially a waste of space right now
they are also mostly undetailed
the beachesx are still painted
and the area itself is not used well
uncut vault
Thats kinda just how mountains are in WoW. Kul Tiras has the same thing
dense plover
it needs a few weeks of work
look at highmountain
its a mountain with stuff
the space is used
hollow dock
I mean. Look at Stormpeaks.
dense plover
^
hollow dock
Any jutting out from the mountain is used. Nothing is left empty like the old flat land pre-cata.
dense plover
kul tiras isnt done either
hollow dock
They design with flying in mind.
dense plover
infact the mountains are probably the parts of kul tiras most unfinished
they are still designing with flying in mind
its just secondary
thats why there are details in legion zones that you dont notice on first glance and might not notice until you get flying
mental onyx
It is pretty common sense stuff.
There are alos some easter eggs that get a lot easier to get to with flying, like that one occuleth workshop one with "unstable space"
Which basically "using mountains" surrounding Suramar basin
uncut vault
I mean, I wouldnt classify adding easter eggs as "needing a lot of work"
mental onyx
I will say there is probably a lot more that goes into zone designs nowadays then did during say BC or WOTK days
6 zones at launch
Which is technically more than Legion had
dense plover
zones are smaller, technically, but they are more filled with stuff
as a result, they feel big
tulip torrent
they will do more zones
hollow dock
Trees, grass, all those details aren't easter eggs.
hollow dock
the only empty bits of highmountain is the literal mountain itself when its rising up as rocks.
dense plover

tacit vine
I mean the ones that blizz showed
hollow dock
Because none of this is from the actual alpha

Alright. I'll direct you to the suicide hotline for that.
tacit vine
I have a lot of cats, can't leave them

Until Alpha happens we'll know if all of the datamined data is real, or WoWhead decided to hire a crackteam of fakers to 'fake' BfA content.

It's Zandalar, they will have devilsaurs, no need to panic.

It is likely the case.

considering the other 2 forms have been datamined
hollow dock
The other druids dont have special water forms tho
dense plover
messlet, no it isnt likely

yeah Ik, it's just me being selfish, cuz I'd really want it

uncut vault
not if we're getting another underwater zone they wont be

dense plover
not to our knowledge
so porter is literally throwing out a hypothetical
adding nothing to the conversation
tulip torrent
i dont remember they saying something about an underwater zone in blizzcon
dusky ginkgo
Make me think, do we know why they speeded the respawn time of Poseidus?
I know it was used to speculate on underwater-zone-soon justement

because its a rare spawn from couple exp back

But that makes no sense to do it now and to no other rares

"adding nothing to the conversation" in a channel discussing BfA speculation
dense plover
oh, its actually faction specific
uncut vault
🤔
dusky ginkgo
There's pretty marked differences between Horde (brown) / Alliance (White), don't remember differences in the faction
dense plover
speculation is not the same as "what if"
speculation is a hypothesis based on current facts
you just said, but what if water zone?
which adds nothing
but what if... doesnt ever add anything
hollow dock
If there would be a water zone, it'd be really offputting tbh.
uncut vault
Azshara is the second raid end boss, thats a fact. Naga are being built as an antagonist. A patch adding a water zone is a realistic theory
hollow dock
As a patch area like Broken Shore or Argus, ok yea I can see that
tacit vine
crocodile would be nice
dense plover
i think its unlikely to have an underwater raid
hollow dock
We've had water based raids. and technically Sazsharine takes us underwater.

Nope.

then that's on you
tacit vine
sea lions are only 6km/h faster than crocs

What's a more realistic date then
dense plover
we dont know
hollow dock
When blizzard decides to announce it is the most realistic date we have
lunar abyss
Cest la vie
tacit vine
and gators can go up to 32 km/h
dense plover
whenever beta starts probably
tacit vine
gators for aquatic!
tulip torrent
probably the interview will have some info about preorder date
dense plover
its possible
hollow dock
Their real life speed has nothing to do with what they do to aquatic form in game lario.
tacit vine
just sayin would make sense
dense plover
no it wouldnt
they arent going to redo aquatic form when it is used so infrequently
hollow dock
I mean.
If you care about sense
what sense is there in picking a deer over a cheeta
as the base ground form
uncut vault
Goin in circles
dusky ginkgo
Cheetah are sprinters and don't run endurance, I suppose deers have more endurances?
I don't know the capability of a deer, but it's easy to be more endurant than a cheetah anyway. Gotta check that

Your lack of ' is frustrating

Apostrophe is not a special character D:

not every race has to have women. not all animal species have a male/female sex binary.
why don't you do it

Most* animal species do.
In which all the races I labeled do reproduce with live young

sethrak wouldnt fit as an allied race

so yes. they'd need a woman for that. Unless they spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single sex environment

they dont use an existing racial skeleton

they aren't an exisitng race

vulpera are likely based on the fact that they are using goblin skeleton

Just wait until we get Undead Elf Allied Race when Sylvanas starts raising fallen blood elves

@uncut vault i think gallywix is getting ded in bfa,you know,kezan as a dungeon? yea
rich apex
And she just laughs at Lorth's objections
uncut vault
Undermine and Gnomeregan as capitals. Pls.

Well, from what we've seen, the mobs on Kezan are malfunctioning mechs

kill gallywix and make sassy hardwrench trade princess

Im praying that the end of the dungeons sees us finding Undermine again

I like the future where vol'jin annihilates the alliance

i still really hope taunka get considered for an allied race. maybe not even in bfa
like im pretty sure taunka sided with the horde

unlikely cuz he rational

Oh they did

i like the future where sylvanas is dead and saurfang is warchief

theyre officially apart of the horde.

They are

If taunka going to horde, ally should get shalashkas

I can see wildhammer and taunka being added together

Theres a lot of smaller races that are apart of the horde and alliance

Wtf is a shalaska

they just dont leave their home

tropic trail
honestly blizz could just add certain things in as customization features imo.. like i feel like for the already allied ones making a whole questline and repgrind is a little extra
zinc sandal
Yes, when introduced
But nobody’s going back to do Legion content 2 or more expansions from now
mint arch
which is why i dont think there will be a lot of allied races, cause rep grind
zinc sandal
So they’ll have to remove it
tropic trail
im still curious on if there will ever be a bard class for wow
mint arch
they'll never remove it, nerf probably
tropic trail
theres that lil bard fellow in the rogue class order thing
hollow dock
No there wont be. And you the rep locking is most certainly legion specific
which really isnt an issue
if you haven't been lazy :v

All I can think of when I see them are Dinosaurs rejects.

barren silo
is the a full ongoing beta now, best way to get invited?
tulip sun
Look at all their models
They are amazing
And if we go by hearthstone, they can be druids
Dinomancers
floral gyro
@barren silo Beta/Alpha hasn't started yet, we don't know when it will
clever oriole
their models don't look like they can be twisted into bein playable lol
hollow dock
@barren silo the best way to get invited is to sign up at the Battle.net website and set your account to be opt into alpha/beta invites. The alpha/beta has not started yet, all the screenshots and videos are from people ripping the data off the client and booting up their own personal servers to show it off. (much like how Wowhead does this for their videos.)
rich apex
NPC models aren't necessarily designed to be playable~
hollow dock
yea but apparently "Allied races" means "Any race you want is a playable race"
rich apex
Yeeeep
Like, we totally -could- get vulpera/kul'tiran/tortollan
But they'll obviously need to add more options to make then an Allied Race
rich apex
See: the Legion Allied Races
hollow dock
doesn't mean we will or should expect it
rich apex
Nightborne are literally remade from the ground up
barren silo
@hollow dock i had this friend working for a serbian magazine giving me closed beta invites for all its blizzard games 
hollow dock
so then have him give you the codes. Why ask what's the best way?
barren silo
\had/ 😒
strange falcon
vulpera already have a lot of variety in skin color and faces/that stuff,compared to tortollans or kultirans,where we have 4 different models at most
hollow dock
Anything is possible :v
rich apex
And thus the new NPCs of 8.0 obviously aren't going to have playable quality appearances
But people keep commenting on the lack of apparent quality as if they are 😛
strange falcon
i never expected them to come out in 8.0
hollow dock
People assume, for some odd reason, that allied race just means all races we see become playable races.
rich apex
To be fair, the Allied Race system is opening that can of worms
And the point of it is to easily slot in new races for minimal effort on Blizz's part
Which could include modifying NPC races
But we don't know for sure yet 😛
strange falcon
hey,as long as they look cool enough i'm fine with it
strange falcon
there is nowhere a mention of vulpera being an allied race for 8.0,we already have zandalari and dark iron for that,
putting more
would be overkill imo
terse patrol
Tortollan won’t be an allied race.
I think they’d be hard to implement, armor wise.
rich apex
We -might- get more in BfA, but we sure don't know for sure
I'm iffy on more during one expansion, considering we just got six of them
strange falcon
imo they will announce 8.2 allied races at Bcon 2k18
rich apex
But happy to be proven wrong
terse patrol
I think we’ll be getting Kul Tiran Humans and Mag’har Orcs.
hollow dock
I dont think they will announce any more anytime soon
rich apex
That could happen, yes
They sure won't announce anything beyond what's in 8.0
Tho. That does raise the question of whether or not BfA launches before Blizzcon.
strange falcon
you know Ion,he's all about the tease
hollow dock
He'll tease
strange falcon
imo bfa will release before bcon
hollow dock
even make jokes
But people don't know when he's just making a joke
and when he's serious
strange falcon
that's the fun
hollow dock
and that's what I hate :v
rich apex
tinfoil intensifies
rich apex
But yeah. My money is on November. And Blizzcon scheduling is ultimately irrelevant when it's the BfA devs who say when it'll be ready.
I can sure dream of September/October. Hopefully we find out Tuesday. 😛
strange falcon
nah man,i'm pointing september october
hollow dock
I can still hope
strange falcon
otherwise it would be awkward to hold bcon without the expac out
rich apex
Ion on Tuesday be like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwMB4N1yi0M

Ion wishes he could meme like Jeff

starts to announce
the expac release date
then

"Oh and before we end, the release date of pre-orders and allied races is" Stream cuts dead. Then comes back. They continue like nothing has happened
"So yea. We had some great questions"

OMG YES

Hmm, maybe we should pin a faq for here too? With when is the beta, how to have a chance to the beta, will X or Y be an Allied race, etc.

holy shit
brill is just gone
noooooo
i love brill
i wonder if the update to lordaeron is also in world
like for not 110 players
dense plover
i dont mean the destruction
hollow dock
Not before
dense plover
i just meant the new models and textures
hollow dock
Oh.
dense plover
for lordaeron
hollow dock
Most likely.
dense plover
i hope so
because i think we can probably access pre-scenario tirisfal
because of quests and achieves and stuff
like hallows end
also
hollow dock
And Pilgrims and the thanksgiving thing with burning the straw man. unless that's hallows end
dense plover
a lot of the undead assets are updated
even though most of them are tilted or smashed, the actual non-broken models
the work there didnt have to be done if they didnt plan to eventually have a new undead area or eventually have us return to the undercity
hollow dock
or maybe theyre assets that'll get used in BFA
hollow dock
inb4 Orcish Orgrimmar is overwritten by Undead Orgrimmar
dense plover
that definitely wasnt neccesary
hollow dock
and thsi is all just a precursor to Junkenstine
dense plover
it makes it seem like this is a big deal
hollow dock
I mean
hollow dock
the horde is losing their foothold on EK
That's a decently sized deal
Id say anyways
hollow dock
People are going to be going there in a scenario and probably run through there.
dense plover
they made unique models for the whole city
wild pewter
I'd imagine they'll use timetravel powers like in Theramore and Silithus
hollow dock
They only update things that are relevant
dense plover
whats going to happen after that makes the work relevant
hollow dock
I dont see the shock of that
hollow dock
Who cares after taht? we're not staying
hollow dock
Yes because they'll get reused most likely in BFA when we land at the lost isles
wild pewter
I expect once the scenario is done, it will stay like that in the overworld.
uncut vault
Broken Isles was originally made just for the opening scenario
theramore's desctruction was just for that scenario, useless since then
hollow dock
With Undead leading the charge we are going to see more Undead ports, which also means that those assets and new buildings around
Port its not the scenario itself we're talking about
dense plover
i wonder if there will be changes to the undercity itself
hollow dock
its all the asset work theyve put in. Both Theramore and Goblin starting area had their assets reused constantly
dense plover
^
it wasnt new assets for those 2
it is new for undercity
so either they plan to reuse it
either to make the old pre-110 version nicer looking
or
because stuff will happen there post-scenario
uncut vault
I mean, the only big change to Undercity is the walls around the city. Everything inside is mostly the old assets. I can see them updating the old zone
hollow dock
You dont have to envision it, its already happening.
dense plover
wonder if the blood stain from arthas will still be there
