Doesnt really look like that parts being changed. Lots of the inside buildings are still the old ones
Its a fun pasttime of mine to head there, turn off all sound except ambience and hear it all.
they will rebuild lordaeron to it's former glory after bfa
lux vult, take back lordaeron!
No one goes there often.
I hate going down
I can't remember what it looks like off the top of my head as I haven't had my pic for three months and haven't visited it in a long time
But who thinks the pre BFA undercity looks better ?
I mean, it does. Thats the point of upgrading it lol.
Besides the small minority that are adamant to have vanilla purity, most people will think its better.
wait, they've release datamined pics of undercity?
I know it is constantly talked about
But what is the likelihood pre orders are announced, with allied races as a bonus?
...We've said it so many times man.
Yes in this chat we have. In the previous PTR chat we have as well. As a community. We even had an FAQ made about it.
I'm not being a dick, I'm pointing out its horribly overasked.
How exactly am I being a dick? I haven't insulted you have I?
I am not going to continue.
you've displayed a behavior that is pretentious. so, yes, don't be a dick
Have I offended you in some way? Am I being offensive? I would like to know.
Just a really quick alpha (night) flight over the map Kul Tiras. It's still work in progress! And sorry for the discord sounds :D (Game capture only failed)
He is, just stop. Yes, you are kinda being rude. But let's move on
Being rude and being a dick are two different things where i come from. If it's to a point you must point it out then please inform me of exactly what I'm doing wrong.
Vris, just stop.
It may be my uneducated american self, but where i come from, being rude and being a dick are one and the same
Ice shelves look very nice.
I too am american, but being a dick where I am is to essentially bully, put down or otherwise insult people. Where as rude is simply not caring about them and acting however you wish.
its not pretentious to ask someone to be less lazy
Apparently it is.
literally you can search the text of channels
search your question before asking it
something as simple as BfA preorder
that wasn't asking them to be less lazy or asking them to do more research on the subject
it was saying it was already answered
I had informed Kamnin that the question had been asked and then the both of you jumped up like I insulted your mothers.
a bunch
I just wanted to discuss it. There is nothing forcing you two to read what we say or respond
which it was
we dont know
its entirely possible
its also entirely not possible
the chances dont go up because of the QA
it was saying that, even though there's a chance Khamnin didn't probably see any of the answers to his question, Vris didn't think about that and assumed that Kham probably couldn't read or some shit
How exactly did you assume all of that from my 1 line of text?
Vris assumed that people should bother to read the channel
I just wanted to chat and such. We can stop this nkw
I am not digging up the past. I thought it would be fine to discuss something about the beta
"we've said it so many times man" seems like it's asking them to pay more attention to the channel
when some of us have lives
I mean, Vris literally just said we've discussed it to death. Which we have
I had said nothing false nor with the intention of insulting.
wow, boralus is very big
๐
Yeah I love the scale of the two main zones
well i mean boralus seems smaller than Zuldazar
but thats the mountains vs the open sea
i think they are about the same size
I have not seen boralus yet
Perhaps I should start speaking 100% literally and fully so my words can't be misconstreud.
Boralus is the city, Tirigarde Sound is the zone
i hope they get as much detail as suramar
Yeah, that'd be a good idea, Vris
yes i know
its exactly what ive imagined
i want to find someone with a working sandbox so i can see it myself at ground level
exactly, or better?
Makes me glad I am horde. I mean, kik tiras seems nice, but I like more...tribal or weird stufd
The full scale of Zuldazar is yet to be seen. Im really hoping the Seal temple is a fully textured area
and not karabor 2.0
u imagined all of that? nice
which temple?
I can't wait for the zones to actually be complete.
the dungeon or the other one?
The big massive golden one in the main city
because im pretty sure the other one is the quest hub
woah
stromgarde is really unfinished
its got sections that are
but its got a lot that isnt
mostly the edges
hawt
Looks like a repeat of karabor to me.
burn the heretic
its supposed to be a quest hub after the main story
All the area below it is part of the main city of Zuldazar
How many people have historically been invited to the alphas/betas? Don't wanna get my hopes too high for nothing
so, not a lot
Honestly, unless you are a streamer or some other big content creator or have some really specific rig, an invite is very unlikely.
Best bet for us commoners is to keep a close eye on the websites/streamers for giveaways
Gotcha. Hope I get lucky.
I mean, once the alpha actually gets announced, I'm emailing Blizz like I usually do. It's gotten my Legion/WoD alpha, and OW beta
Personally Im just going to be opted in and either get it or not. I'm a patient apache helicopter and will gladly wait for a perfected product rather than some jumbled buggy mess.
you lost me at patient
well
You...emailed Blizz for a beta invite?
and then you ruined it worse at apache helicopter
That's what I identify as. An apache attack helicopter.
i have access to a sandbox if anyone wants it
the guy doing the flyovers finished it
i wont post it here b/c technically against ToS
yeah, about not being a dick..
I fail to see how that has anything to do with what I've said.
Yeah, I just show em my testing history, all the feedback I've given, show them the crap ton of money Ive spent on Blizzard games, then let them know how available I am for testing this time around. Worked the last few times. Had to call em for Legion, but I still got in second wave.
i expect to get into beta based on the fact that i tested the ptr and made several forum posts
How does a shitty meme correlate to me being a dick this time? :v
they know i care
Yeah that's basically what I show in my emails, some of the feedback forum posts Ive made, and screenshots of my feedback tickets.
Like? Being patient and not wanting to play a buggy and very messy version of a product I'm buying?
Idd it does.
But for everyone besides Port, apparently, it's random ๐
I only ever got in for Legion
and the reason this time is, people who don't take non-binary genders seriously, do so because of memes like that as well as bigotry
Alright? Did I offend you with my joke?
He's just acting his age dude
It seems there's nothing I can do. Jokes are apparently dickish, stating facts are pretentious and simply asking isn't getting me anywhere.
if he were 12, it'd be acceptable, mewrulz
Exactly and he obviously is 12
How do you know I am not a fetus still typing in the womb?
Or is that offensive to those wanting abortions now?
aside from the fact that's impossible?
You clearly don't have thaat high of an iq
clearly
Absolutely! I couldn't have a very high IQ.
and clearly you got that too slowly
Those galleons look very nice.
Judging by how the zones look I think a beta is coming publicly soon
i love the zandalari one
It's possible Taven, but unlikely. The zones are incredibly empty still, and its not because theyre just the maps ripped from the datamining.
Well I mean there is a sandbox client out now
People have made their own sandbox clients.
In which, as you watch the passovers, a lot of the zones are unfinished.
https://i.imgur.com/ch91fIK.jpg what the hell is that thing
That looks very much like an octopus or squid head.
Cthulhu confirmed
Well yeah thats what it looks like but im talking about the meaning
Predictably, N'zoth, but if they want to go an interesting route, something we havent seen before
Zandalari trolls/ dork iron dwarves like calamari?
Probably a naga place, or maybe, as the texture is still grey despite everything else being nearly finished, its an unfinished building.
It's a Kul Tiran temple
It might be N'Zoth related like what porter said
The description from Blizzcon is that a dark force has been overtaking the place
That is spawned in. Look at the left side there.
That's floating over the rest of the map
thats just infinished assets
At Blizzcon it was described as a kul tiran temple for the sea priests
that was being overrun by dark forces
which leads me to believe N'zoth is corrupting the place
That reminds of Meridia's Quest in Skyrim
Why would he need to corrupt a place worshiping him and his favored pets?
Thats what people are speculating on
I wouldn't be surprised if G'huun is a boss in BFA
oh good question.
They might be worshipping something else under the sea
I mean I heard he shows up in the dungeon journal
All the kraken, which are the giant squids, are linked to N'zoth in some way, shape or form. Worship of any of them links them right back to N'zoth, so why would he need to corrupt something he already has in his pocket?
you have to download the stuff
i mean not really lol
ive just started figuring this stuff out
i did it like 2.5 years ago with legion alpha
but its been 2.5 years
also, apparently the current one is kind of broke right now...
so theres that
Thats what have people curious, Vris. We dont know WHY N'zoth needs to corrupt a temple that is seemingly dedicated to him
unless there is something there he doesn't like/want
Maybe. I can't think of anything else though. The lord of the seas has been seeping his icky tentacles since the sundering.
warcraft davy jones inc
as crazy as that sounds, that could actually work.
Warcraft wishes they could have a npc as cool as davy jones
They already do, his name is Gamon and he has been killed for over 10 years and is still alive today.
Some people in this chat do come across as rude and very blunt, it's quiet sad
wut
I do apologize if I ever do sound blunt or rude. I never have much intention of doing so.
Everyone just be nice to one another !
You have come across blunt to me before Vris If I'm honest with you ๐
I just try to be honest is all.
why thank you
No I know but the person before just wanted to open a nice discussion, you didn't need to be a dick to them
I still don't see how it is like that, but I can only promise i'll try to be more literal in my wording.
I'm not rehashing an argument. I just read through the chat and thought they were a bit hard done to when it seemed like they just wanted a chat and that was their choice of topic. If you personally are sick of the topic you don't have to say anything
^
I wasn't sick of the topic though. I dont see where you all keep getting that impression.
Re-read it after a sleep ? That's what I do when people tell me I'm doing something wrong and I don't see it
Is it me or are the zone sizes looking a little small in the videos ? Although I guess that's because they are rushing through it and zoomed out
They look stunning though
if you're not sick of the topic, great way to show it
I've only ever talked that way though. No one else I've spoken to has ever taken such offense to it. Was it my dots? was it my lack of literal speaking? I keep asking questions, but no one shows me any answers.
not sure where you got the impression we took offense to it
You had an issue with how I responded and hung onto it for quite some time without ever answering a single question I asked.
i don't recall any questions. you may re-ask them if you care enough about my opinion
Very well.
Tbh fair it's 4 am and I'm not going to be articulate but. Your sentences are very formal and thus come across as impersonal as opposed to light happy messages and yeah ... Is universally bitchy aha
Was it my dots? was it my lack of literal speaking? How exactly am I being a dick? I haven't insulted you have I? Have I offended you in some way? Am I being offensive? If it's to a point you must point it out then please inform me of exactly what I'm doing wrong. @Arsonite#9235
Ah, where I come from the tripple dots are used to convey very light annoyance.
I would just say universally, it's really really bitchy
In my experience
Regardless idm just try and sound more emotive then people might want to talk more and not be put off
Does everyone really think it will take till like August for BFA to come out? A lot of the zones look quiet fleshed out I thought
In fact very fleshed out
Honestly, at a first glance they do look very fleshed out.
Texturing stuff I guess yeah
However, a lot of empty space has been left all over the map. Which is something blizzard wouldn't do as they design these areas with flying in mind
Which means one of two things; Its really incomplete and theyve gotten the big easy tasks done or they aren't solid on with everything theyve done so far.
My god. I have been 3 months without my pc and I'm getting it back tomorrow so hyped to play again! Horrible seeing all these lush jungles and not being able to play in them for months though :/
I do hope you'll enjoy your return.
Well take a look at a place like Highmountain or Storm Peaks.
Mountainous areas that have been designed with player flight in mind.
I haven't actually checked out the alliance zones yet so I could be wrong and they look very incomplete but horde ones look pretty good
Little to nothing is left barren. There is always something there, something going on. Blizzard has been incredibly efficient with those spaces and left very little for us to not see.
no it wasn't your dots. you realize you can make a joke without looking like an asshole? did i not answer that already? No, you have not insulted me personally, only an entire group of individuals with a stupid ass meme. you have not offended me personally but i could understand why some people may find that offensive. You're being offensive in some way to some people.
What you're doing wrong:
- You don't need to assert superiority over others just because you know something they don't. Not everybody thinks the same, dude. So, yeah. Speak what you mean or say nothing.
- "Haha, i identify as an apache attack helicopter" is a meme that was likely made to harass people who are non-binary in gender. As such, it is dickish. Whether you used it as a joke or not.
๐
๐
Representing non binary people ^^ although thankfully I don't know the meme those types of memes are really stupid though
But if those people aren't coming after me, why does it matter? Comedy always offends someone. That's how that works. In which the 'apache attack helicopter' meme was made due to Tumblr coming out with their thousand and one non-binary genders and going so far as identifying as wolfkin.
I never asserted superiority over anyone. I had stated a fact. I was about to elaborate, but you had jumped on me like I said a horrifyingly racist slur.
Wait what are you guys talking about? I thought it was just about being rude to the guy from before who wanted to talk about pre orders
This is still about that.
dunno how saying a question has been overasked is being rude tbh.
I had asked a slew of questions that went unanswered during the whole talk down to me about it.
Apparently it was the way I had said those words, Crystal.
either way, i'm not represening nonbinary people. i'm saying stuff that should be said
We live in a free country for a reason. let me deal with my own consequences of my first admendment rights, please.
i think people in general kinda get freaked out by people who type more formally than most or something.
Well there's no point having a gender debate ๐. I don't know if people deleted comments since. But when I read it. It just seemed like the person wanted to have a chat and got a discouraging reply
Just looking at bfa in game its going to look so good once they add dx12 to it
I type so formally because I roleplay quite often within the WoW community and do so with the DnD friends. This is the normal form of typing that I'm aware of.
It's going to look even better when they add in all those painstaking little details.
for real honestly
Formality is great and all but it can convey as being obnoxious and just lack emotion and just seem very very blunt which people do get offended over and the dots were bitchy
i personally liked just looking around and the more I do the more I want to pre order the expansion the second those go live which I will tbh
http://prntscr.com/i6zlft @hollow dock
What's dx12?
That's very true, Arson.
your first amendment speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want with no consequences. it means the govt can't arrest you for what you say
However, I had asked for you to allow me to deal with my own consequences should they come up.
Same @radiant shale
Graphics Api
I have no clue what that is ^^
lol no worries
I'm most excited for the allied races tbh, but warfronts look really fun if they're what i've been informed
warfronts are going to be my thing honestly
I have to say seeing the new troll customisation shave got me excited even more
I never said I was free from citicism, showing I am very concerned with the fact that you had taken such an affront to what I said, I never said my rights were even violated. I have a right to say whatever I wish as long as its within the rules of this discord. So please, let me deal with any backlash thrown at me.
I hope this'll be the last of it.
I wish they would establish cities more in the game
i dunno what it says about me, but the thing i'm most excited about for BFA is updated cat models.
๐ป
It means you're a person who really enjoys the little things.
That's something I think Blizzard cares for a lot more than the rest in all honesty.
I can't wait for the Bee mount!
yeah that bee mount is adorable.
Omg have u see the little shit I can't think what they are called the little reptiles
I can't wait for the resurgance of the beemovie memes thanks to that mount.
The smallest thing that I really want in BfA is the Void Elf void form being a toggle
Most important thing about the race honestly
Hate bees... Make me cringe so much
to me anyways
Ya like jazz, Jordyn?
that would be a really cool feature
I wanna see that awesome void form all the time not just in combat
Can't say I have listened to jazz very much no, how come?
They (Blizzard), had said it's most likely going to be a slip into combat automatically and toggle on and off out of it.
Oh, that's a bee movie meme :v
would be funny if Blizzard made a Batman easteregg, but he's connected to bees somehow instead
Beeman
Oh ๐. Went over my head I watched the film when I was younger so I don't really remember it I'm 17
I don't much care to watch it either๐
Oh its fantastic meme material. Especially since the whole script is online.
I hope void form is a toggle too
they made a shirt with the entire script printed on it iirc
Actually does anyone know what the Velf void form is? I saw a picture but I'm not sure if it was real.
It's just way overhyped for memes is what puts me off ever partaking in bee movie discussions ๐
I don't think it's out yet is it?
I remember bellular made a video saying most power racial yet? Can't remember if is shown in that
it'd be difficult for it to be out now since the velf itself isn't out
Well, tuesday. It's most likely going to be shown during the QnA that Watcher and Lore are hosting.
Hopefully with the pre-order bonuses and such as well
off by one day. so close
In which, I hope those two pull a Papa Jeph and cut the stream when they are 'about' to announce it.
wouldn't be the first time
Oh Tuesday sorry I forgot timezone differences
It's almost 5 am here Monday and I didn't register it's the next day aha
Love those ship pictures.
Sadly I don't think we will have access to the allied races for a while
Theyre very beautiful galleons.
Oh I almost forgot
There aren't enough customisation options yet and also they haven't tested the questlines which they have to do I thinks?
Any word on wether or not there's a Cosmetic First Mate's Hat in any loot tables? I don't want to push but I need to know.
What's everyone's consensus on Vol'jin coming back? Personally I think he'll be an avatar of Bwonsamdi or something
Oh heavens no. I, and the rest of the PTR/Spoilers chat, have all agreed on the idea that it'll come at the end of the 7.3.5 patch cycle or more likely, at prepatch.
There are none other than the two hats from WoD, Jevil.
It'll probably be like DH's in Legion, come with the prepatch imo
Idd.
Some are resistent to this idea and claim the allied races will only be tested internally.
The Beta , No the next expac can't come soon enough
So long as Vol'jin come back i'll be happy
Maybe this time he'll actually do something isntead of sitting around.
as long as Vol'Jin comes back, i'll forgive him for breaking my heart by letting himself die. He could've been a DH
and brought the rise of DH trolls!
I'd personally want Human or Orc DHs before trolls.
Maybe even Gnome DHs before that.
why?
Shadow Hunters ๐
Trolls are closer to elves than Humans and orcs
please blizz give me my loa class
Elves aren't the only ones that can become DHs.
i wanna get the voodoo
Blizzard has even admitted to this. Demon Hunters can be trained by anyone strong enough to endure their trials. The only reason they made the DHs elves, at first, is because the only ones around are the Illidari. Which are entirely elven. Because Illidan didn't train any non-elves.
This probably is random but - On the topic of Illidari
the only thing that really irks me about the class is you can only be in Meta form for like 40 seconds at most
I hope they never make another race DH's sorry not sorry
I like it being exclusively to the illidari
Its on the table for future expansions.
I hope they never do ๐
Technically, any non-elven DHs will still be Illidari.
I have a thing for toggles I guess but I really wish Meta was a toggle and the big dps boost that Meta is is something like warcraft 3 where you just get bigger and shadow-y
Shadow hunters for trolls that would be cool
They just simply wouldn't be elves.
Does sound like a bit of work for an old class, unless they won't get any cool looking skin options and such
Shadow Hunters, Blood Mages, and Necromancers are my most wanted classes that will probably never happen
Or bards
Yea. The sad thing is all of those classes, except the bard, bleed to much with the base classes we have.
Bards?
You know, jovial bunch. Sings and their allies get buffs and heals.
We've been over this Hyper!
Draenei Tinker
I know
let me have my romuul cosplay
That's true
Would be nice if classes were more distinctive of race too. Like how Druids are
(I do acknowledge Bards are a -slight- possibility)
Race /Class fantasy would be nice to have again
Bards are really the only class left.
In before dwarf priest fear wards
wait they were considering tinkers
Blood knights are just paladins.
My money is between Tinkers, Necromancers, and Bards
And all of them seem kind of slim, so
They were a lot darker themed in BC which I liked
Well yea because they stole light from a being the Draenei worshipped.
Exactly
I was going to say blood nights but they are just paladins yeah
They don't need to steal light anymore.
What I'm saying is I think it'd be cool if we had that sort of thing again
In which we do have two edgy classes already.
In terms of a class and race combo being a seperate organization/belifes
like the Sunwalkers for Tauren
but in Legion they still say 'praise the light' when they dont worship it
Yeah like if you roll a blood elf pally it would say blood elf blood knight instead of pally on the name tag
The idea was that no matter their version of the Light, it's still The Light.
That's fair but still just kinda rubs me the wrong way
Elune also has a dark side though which is the justification for Nelf Shadow priests if I'm not mistaken
Yeah would be nice if when you pick the class for your race it tailors to your race
I'm still not sure what barbs are btw
While I do think Bards are really the only class left to introduce, there's not much for them in terms of a foothold in WoW.
Like the Bard profession exists, but not in the same way we know of them from DnD.
I always thought Barbs were basically just Arms warriors
Bard* sorry not barbs
Actually yeah that's true
Bards are Outlaw rogues man
I have no clue what a bard is. Barb means like a barbarian doesn't it?
Outlaw is supposed to be Pirates I thought.
Oh right okay
It is
"Technically any non-elven DHs will still be Illidari" yeah, until they finish legion. but splinter factions of Illidari could rise from the ashes
Well the Illidari aren't breaking up post legion. Just like how the Ebon Blade didn't break apart after Lich King.
I dunno how a Bard would actually play
Given they're not gonna make a buff emphasis class
So it'd just be a rogue
IDK but i'd love something like LOTRO where for flavor you can import your own songs
Dude with a sword and leathers
I just think it would be weird seeming a human DH
In a combat focused game, even the healers are deadly. Bards, not so much.
Maybe its because in the Roleplay community, it's been normal to every now and then see a non-elf DH due to a decently written backstory.
It is hard to complain about elf only DHs when the alternative is gnome DHs
For me, at least.
That and Blizz said flat out that elf only allowed them to do more unique customizations
And I love the DH customizations
The Ebon Blade and Illidari are two separate factions with entirely separate stories
Both banded together to fight a common foe that birthed the reason for them even existing only to have that foe defeated.
I've never seen a non Elven DH.
and even with that, there's still a chance that one or both could have splinter factions of rogue individuals in either
Anything's possible, assuming Blizz ever does class stories again ๐
Although Wyrmrest Accord tends to exclude anyone who isn't exactly lore following
I have no reason to suspect the Illidari will split up.
Or assuming the Illidari become relevant again if they don't
As opposed to the Ebon Blade, who damn well better be relevant when Bolvar tries to enslave the world
Oh I dont roleplay specifically on the live servers. I head to private servers for my fix.
Ahhh yeah I've seen a few in that case
In which Hyper, if they do; You know which side I'll be marching.
I mean, if the Naaru try to take over the world, I want an option to join them
Vris, they're literally half demon. Why WOULDN'T they split up
Because they banded together to fight the Burning Legion and protect Azeroth. Half of that is done.
they have every reason to
I dont see what being half demon has to do with any of it. If anything, they have more comradery in their ranks because of the demon within.
now that the burning legion is more or less nonexistent though, what's left to protect? Now they can try to conquer Azeroth. Just, not the same as the Burning Legion would have
They even go out of their way to save one of their own that's trapped within a demons body.
I don't think the Illidari would really want to conquer Azeroth
N'zoth is coming in 8.2, so
They're not conquerers. They vie for control over themselves to ensure Azeroths safety no matter what. Just like the ebon blade.
their whole thing seems to be taking revenge on Demons for trying to do that
I need more alpha pictures..
And yeah next expansion I really really hope we get, 1. lvling revamp to make quests more fun like today's standard and all old zones look high res. Would be a dream in the blood elf starting zone for it to be like suramar quests retaking quel thalas from the scourge. 2. Class reflective fancy of the race. 3 millions of customisation options which would also be cool if that was reflective of the class you chose to play too. Like say if you picked a human (hate humans) warlock. You can chose through a few demonic runes and such
i said NOT in the same way the demons would have
We already got the leveling revamp Jordyn!
Yeah the demon hunters will stay together to defend Azeroth
By lvling revamp I mean quests sorry
like cata style?
also, unless Blizzard has explicitly said we're getting N'Zoth/ whatever the fuck in 8.3, nobody knows and any "theories" made on the subject is conjecture
I never said they'd conquer it like the demons?
I guess yeah
Upto today's standards of quests
Calm down Arson, no need for that sort of language.
Targai implied that i said that
All we know is the first raid is uldir and the 2nd is azshara
And Azshara is 100% coming in 8.1
And i wasn't trying to, sorry
swearing is allowed, Vris
I'm just saying it seems like they'd want to stay out of things like the dk's
^
All of the NPCs will be conviently out of the picture either way ๐
burn the heretic'
The DHs have no reason to conquer Azeroth. That weakens it and the Illidari have no real way of challenging the might of the Alliance or Horde.
I am so hyped for the azshara raid
Goodnight ppl ^^
Especially since the alliance now has the Vindicaar in its arsenal
The DHs are, arguably, the most powerful faction/ race of people on Azeroth (By lore, not gameplay) and so it may actually benefit Azeroth further
It's arguably the most powerful weapon on azeroth right now unless the belfs start churning out Mana bombs
I hope it does. This war would be over Very fast if they would use it.
But theyre incredibly small.
still thinks the Vindicaar is drastically overexaggerated
much less the other bit that velen would never allow it to be used to bombard armies, much less cities
Not really.
Considering the Vindicaar single-handedly stood its shields against the Burning Legions defenses on Argus
I wouldn't say its overexaggerated
if the DHs of the Allliance and the Horde fought under one banner, the Illidari's and wrested the might of the Horde and alliance away from those assholes...
That's a good point actually
A spaceship with a light-driven death laser is STILL a spaceship with a light-driven death laser.
Velen is pretty much neutral at this point and he probably wouldn't let the light driven death laser be used
Quote of the day
IDK: Teldrassil burning and being very close to Azuremyst and Bloodmyst might make the Vindicaar be on standby.
Neutral Faction: The Illidari
Again Arson, I'm really doubting it. If the Illidari turned on the alliance and horde, they'd have two massive armies to fight against their one itty bitty ship and not to mention every other force on Azeroth would pile against them.
It's to much for them alone to fight. Without a Legion backing them up.
I mean heck, they lost the last time they tried that if you remember.
The elves outnumber the other races ;)
That's actually very false.
Im still waiting for the Illidari vs Ebon Blade xpac/patch
at this point every race but the dwarves are near extinct
Illidari vs Ebon Blade would be pretty cool tbh
Kaldorei were likely in the millions PRESUNDERING but, not post-sundering.
The Night elves are the current highest number of elven population. And only a very small portion are actually Dhs.
Okay, fair, Vindicaar has good shields
okay but my point still stands
But the laser just blew open a few walls, it didn't incinerate armies
If I remmeber right, about 90% of the High elven population was wiped out. 90% of those remaining became blood elves and only about 3%, MAYBE, became Dhs.
either way, the night elves would probably rather side with their friends and family over the people they were forced into allying with
no race is extinct untill blizzard throws it in the can
^
high elves got a boost to their numbers to somehow create the silver covenant that had a functioning army.
Do understand that the High elves still numbered in the hundreds of thousands post Arthas.
that number is non-canon.
we have no number.
That's more than enough to settle in Dalaran.
period.
also, Trolls are distant cousins of the elves, so they'd probably join the Illidari faction
Yeah but then 99% of those hundreds of thousands renamed themselves ๐
we have no numbers for any race period.
I really wish blizz would either confirm or deny that the whole "10/1%" numbers with blood/high elves is still canon
Honestly though I don't see the appeal of high elves
all numbers were from the non-canon RPG on the actual distinct
"high elves are in the 100,000s roughly." etc.
So then everything is overly populated and genocide means nothing, Xan.
I never said a specific number either
They're literally just blood elves with blue eyes
So please, don't assume Im quoting the RPG.
Like that's...All they are
nightborne are just night elves with back problems
I don't really see how that follows
are we still talking about Alliance+Horde vs Illidari?
That may have been true right after Arthas Targai
They look entirely different and were seperated for 10 thousand years
However
Different culture entirely
Fel energy changed them.
Literally just their eyes?
The Blood Elves are pretty much light worshippers again anyways
Their magical reliance effected them right after the sunwell got destroyed, that wasn't because of Fel
As said by Blizzard, Fel is like radiation. Its mutations are going to be felt for a very long time.
and how is their skin changed at all?
No targai that's false.
I - I just replayed Warcraft 3
the blood elves haven't used fel/went to outland/etc when they start feeling mana addiction
They became wretched because of their fel addiction. It increased their addiction rather than solved it.
irl, mutations caused by radiation is permanent
dunno if that's true in warcraft tho
It doesn't effect the entire race like it does belfs though
It affected all of the blood elves, but none of the high elves.
I want to say Blizz said that the blood elves' eyes will turn back to blue eventually
They did
They already did
Eventually (TM)
Eventually teh fel will rotate out of their genepool.
Which leads to my point in that there's not much of a difference between sin'dorei and quel'dorei
Political differences are a big thing
When the fel actually rotates out yes that'll be true Targai
Sin'dorei culture is a bit darker sure but that's starting to change what with Liadrin being powerful now
Liandrin doesn't lead the Blood elves.
No but she's been representing them in most of their appearances now
Because Lor'themar gets to do nothing in Silvermoon
Lor'themar didn't have any appearances in Legion other than the Vol'jin death and the feast thing
A lot of the remaining high elves have integrated into either the alliance, or into the Kirin Tor. They definitely have a unique enough look from Silvermoon there.
That's fair
In which, as I was saying earlier
I just feel like a difference in eye color isn't enough to be a whole new race
a customization option? sure
like I would like that
but I don't feel like a whole new playable race is warranted
Fel made their skin darker, their eyes green, it enhanced their magical addiction to the point of requiring a source to drink from
Which is why they can do what theyve done with allied races, options that the other race doesnt have yet
That's fair
although I feel like The Void Elves are blizz's answer to that which is probably not too fair but
They have pandas on both sides
Jordyn go to bed!
Neutral belf/helfs would be a neat compromise
Get rid of the factions please.
Let everyone be neutral and we'll have peace at last
I actually like the faction conflict
I mean, Im still betting that factions are going away at the end of BfA
I can't sleep aha
I hate it so very much
Gotta have PVP
I don't like that most of the horde is belfs in game though
not lore wise i mean
in game
its contrived, stops progress and literally regresses any progress.
I love the faction conflict, but theyre hyping BfA up to be the finale of that conflict
agreed @uncut vault
I wish and hope next expansion the nail down on race fantasy and rework all the old lvling zones
And, to be fair, actually disbanding faction barriers is probably a logistical nightmare of programming
Or at the very least the culmination of it.
Both in game and lorewise it's horrible because most of it doesn't make any form of sense.
Maybe BFA will end it
So I'm mad cynical
Mechanically they probably dont need to break down barriers. SWTOR did the faction merge pretty well
I do wish that the horde and alliance had better reasons to fight but the whole Teldrassil thing might play out well
Especially given N'zoth will pop up to interrupt
It seems kinda core though to the game
SWTOR still has faction barriers, mostly
It is
Just in certain zones/BGs it doesn't
Like you couldn't just go to Orgrimar anymore
My theory is N'zoth is causing the faction conflict in this expac and it'll stop once he's revealed as the big bad boss
ESO completely broke them down, which probably saved the game
SWTORs storylien doesn't have the faction barrier for the players. They made a third one for us.
(except for in PVP)
I...don't really think it was a good thing in SWTOR to be honest
True. But that's becauase they can't afford to make faction specific storylines anymore. ๐
Everything else in the game stayed the same except for the story.
I miss the class stories from that game
Either could work. if WoW did it, theyd probably go more towards SWTORs, to keep old zones somewhat consistent.
And they definitely can't afford to make class stories
I miss it too, but the thing is
What game ?
Star wars the old republic
Oh man I so miss it
making 8 stories for all of the expansions would have been hella expensive and really difficult.
Ah
^
Oh yeah that's true Vris
You can have one eight hour story that's faction neutral
Two four hour faction stories
Or eight one hour class stories
I'd have preferred the faction specific ones at least tbh
I'll pick the former every time.
Honestly all you need to do for the class is just have some dialog
Yeah I mean when is silvermoon going to be rebuilt I wanna helps my ppl
'hey <darth>'
I think SWTOR handled the removing of factions perfectly.
It's sucks, but that's deving for an underbudgeted, outdated MMO that's desparately trying to hobble along
Oh yeah they did do it pretty well
They're doing as well as they possibly can
Just wish they were doing as well as ESO ๐
It's Bioware. They can make a trashcan have one of the most moving and personal backstories ever.
This is very true
I want a Obsidian Bioware collab
Bioware writes the individual characters Obsidian the overall story
Give me Mass Effect New vegas pls
lmao
But in the end, if blizz wants to make High elves an allied/playable race, they can just make up some crap about how the fall of arthas shifted their kingdom into what it is now, and the silver cov kept alive old traditions that they totally didnt just make up
Oh! U guys ready
ready for what?
for zandalari? heck yea
In before Blizz makes another elf spinoff but not high elves
Exactly
Honestly, as long as its alliance, and has some normal looking skin, Im down
Draenei aren't elves
yeah i know
theyre far to busty for them.
Yeah, draenei are better
Wait no, that's just demon hunters.
3x Lordaeron In-game Scenes with Sylvanas, Jaina & Anduin! VO's are missing! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Bug elves
Im still salty Blizz made high elves all pale.
MECHA-ELVES
gimme darker high/blood elves
I more mean in the lore in general
My point still stands
I'd play a mecha elf
I feel like blizz missed their chance with playable high elves with void elves tbh
Given the comment at the start of the video take it with a. Pinch of salt but it looks cool https://youtu.be/GFop3Be0yFc
3x Lordaeron In-game Scenes with Sylvanas, Jaina & Anduin! VO's are missing! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
white people elves are just so boring to me. Land of eternal sunlight, and you're all the same fourteen shades of white?
you could have just said 'HEY guys Alleria convinced the silver covenant to join us woo'
That's why the Blood elves are mostly tan
but instead they're exiles from SMC
I absolutely called that by the way.
Them being exiled from Silvermoon cuz Void+Light is a recipe for disaster
Im still hedging my bets on them doing a few patches of existing allies becoming playable
I thought they were Darkfallen when i saw them in the announcement trailer tbh
Mag'har orcs
They make a joke about that.
Oh for sure
with that new chiropractor
The question is when more Allied Races will come
I say 8.3,.
Probably in later patches or expacs
When the content slows down
My money's on later expacs, but I'll sure be happy if it's with a patch
Just like Classic will come out during an especially long content drought
Or at the end of an expac, like the current upcoming
I do love all the elf racial fantasies
Only 'full races' that I really want anymore are Ethereals and Naga and those could both come with a full void expac so I don't need them for this expac
Eh, considering they said Classic is with a different team
Just give Silver covenant and high elves some crap about "keeping the traditions of both the farstriders and the magisters alive" and make their heritage set and stuff spellbow themed. Boom, allied race.
Boi do I want Ethereals
Blizzard can purposefully hold out on release until they want.
Truuue
They did that with Alexstrasza in Heroes of the Storm
Ethereals would honestly just be the greatest
But it's not like they have a desparate need for money because of a content drought in WoW
No but it'd make sense to drop it during a drought.
Keeps the ravenous fans off their backs and keeps people playing a blizzard product
(Also under the assumption that Classic will be baked in to the WoW sub)
Literally nobody hyped about the cut scene? ๐ https://youtu.be/GFop3Be0yFc
3x Lordaeron In-game Scenes with Sylvanas, Jaina & Anduin! VO's are missing! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
theyre temp
Not really. I want to see the full actual scenes.
Not when it currently looks like a 2010 machinima ๐
Not some strips of a datamined stuff.
I know but cool none the less
baine just bitch slapping a human was funny
^
Oh god. Machinima.
ooh we do get Jaina back in the siege of lordaeron though
Hyper why do you have to remind me that exists.
That's cool as fuck
Haha that was funny. Still gives an idea of the way it will play out
the jaina anim looked surprisingly polished for a temp asset
Well how they want it to play out now.
Illegal Danish intensifies
What jaina animation?
That's the animation of a human female being hit by an attack
Probably gonna be used in the full version
I should know. I have a human female tank.
Oh I know its existing anims, just saying it looked like a real enough trip while running
All ya gotta do is freeze the bottom into a running animation and flip the top animation.
You can even do that with in game spells
assuming you have Gm commands
What do u guys think the next plausible races are to be added in the future ? They really need to imporve on the current races customisation options though
Mag'har Orcs, Wildhammer Dwarves, a Forest Troll Tribe, and the Taunka are the most likely ones in my opinion.
Theyre rpobably sticking with the Allied Race format
^
so no doubt they'll do existing allies first, since those are the ones most in demand
I would love new hair styles tho
Taunka would be so stupid
That'd also be nice
Just like pandas but even more stupid
Mag'har are very likely with the 'orc clan' armor
I mean. this is a game where we have british werewolves turn into seals.
There's nothing to stupid.
Aha true. I just kinda hate the 'unbelievable' races
Like our talking cows?
We already got short men, really short men, wolf men, pointy ear men, tusk men, big tusk men...
Like the snakes in bfa and the turtles
Just gimme some dark skinned high elves on alliance, and I'll never ask for another thing from Blizz again.
Space demon men
Although yeah we have Tauren I guess
We have lizard people
Tiny green men
And dead men
Lizard ppl?
Saurok.
So many nominally different humanoids
The lizard men from Pandaria?
Oh the jinu?
Those are the evolved forms of the murlocs :p
I thought they were okay. Much more believable than a snake
Yeah exactly they are like evolved murlocs I likei
They even have cute frills
Ohhhh yeah
We also have the statues that gained sentinence.
I dunno. Just some of the races in the game seem silly
Half of this game is really silly.
Think of it: A bunch of elves that evolved from trolls summoning in werewolves from a different dimension to beat goat elves that serve demons and end up becoming werewolves themselves and can only be tamed through a scythe.
Next is brown bois and thicc bois
if the next allied race doesnt have snitties, Im not interested.
(maybe)
that's the entire Worgen incident.
In before snake titties ruin RP forever
SNEEPLES WITH SNIDDLES
the only snake tiddies that make sense are naga
saurok with breasts already happened in Hearthstone.
it looks AWFUL
laughs in argonian
What are snitties?
Snake titties
Oh aha
Like sneeple is snake people
The mutated snakes look stupid to me :/
Dont ever play Dark Souls
I hope the next race stuff will be like being able to be an undead elf
Undead Elves are a possibility
OH YEAH
We'll get Undead Elves before we get High Elves
That's completely unironically possible
we'll get the evolved bug elves before we get high elves.
I wish high elfs would rejoin silvermoon
They have no reason to. The blood elves kicked them out
Vereesa's about to get killed by the Horde, so
I know sadly just wish they would rejoin their society. I also kinda think all the elfs and undead should leave the horde.
(*probably)
Veressa's probably going to get killed by the horde.
OH GOD THAT IS A SNEEPLE WITH SITTIES
And the horde go back to being shamanistic like it was
I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A NORMAL SNEEPLE
No one's ever leaving the Alliance/Horde
ITS A SAUROK WITH TITS.
PAINTED ON LAST SECOND AND YOU CAN LITERALLY TELL
That's nice artwork
At least she's got eyelashes to tell she's female
YOUL CAN SEE THE NIPPLE
I've only ever seen the card played and never indepth looked at it until now
if you cannot design a creature to be female without adding tits you basically have failed as a character designer
I do hope they leave factions and u can just represent your race main problem with that is guilds
So you mean every fantasy female race ever
laughs in Arakkoa
Okay, that one is fair
High elves have no real reason to rejoin the Horde. Vereesa considered and denied that option in war crimes
I mean
Just wait until we get curvy ogre women
Vereesa doesn't exactly speak for all high elves anyways
Hense considered. Only reason she was gonna join was for Sylvanas
She does speak for a large faction of them though
where's mei when I need them
True
Yeah that was a good book
I need that picture of Veressa hiding her kids
But there doesn't appear to be any unified high elf faction beyond the Covenant
Which is pretty much just Vereesa's private army =p
If the original helf numbers are anything to go by, its probably the majority of helfs
No but Alleria wants to take silvermoon and rejoin all of the blood elfs she could very likely convince veressa
since theyre composed of most of the helfs in dalaran
Although there are tensions
Alleria doesnt want it for the horde though
she specifically wants it for the alliance
She'd want a united high elves if anything
I know but she wants the blood elfs is what I'm saying ๐
Alleria went to Silvermoon only to see the Sunwell and because of Sylvanas
Thus we settle for void elves
she doesnt' want to rejoin anything
Nah shes there on a mission from anduin
She was asking Lor'themar to join the Alliance
Shes denied, and asks Lorthemar to at least see the sunwell before she leaves
Not true vris, She does. She wants silvermoon to ask them rejoin the alliance
Lor'themar's response to the void elves/alleria is pretty much one giant 'begone thot' tbh
Aha
Rommath: the Void might be dangerous
Alleria: accidentally summons a void monster just by standing next to the Sunwell
๐
Umbric: accidentally summons something that almost enslaves him and his followers
I can't wait to do those quests tbh
Can't wait for void elves honestly
Like I don't get why people don't get Lorth and Rommath's reasoning
The Void ain't fun
She really isnt.
And after Kael going full fel crack, they probably toned down on the whole 'power by any means'
I do love her character
At least not yet.
Yeah, Alleria's not a raging prick
^
God they ruined Kaelthas
And actually cares about people
She takes some of the same actions as Illidan
(She's super wrong about the Void, of course)
Makes me really sad because he was so cool in war craft 3 and the books
Nah
But at least she cares very specifically about specific people
The void is perfectly fine. If you're strong enough to weild it, then do so.
Ehh
Bring Kael back tbc's shit writing was merely a setback
I will be highly surprised if it doesn't bite her in the ass
Alleria purely takes in the void to get back to Turalyon and Arator. Illidan did it for a mix of power, getting back at his brother, and getting the glory for saving azeroth
I just mean that in the same sense she's going to teach ppl to use dangerous energies similar to illidan
Well yea but that's any teacher :p
Although the velfs would have gone insane if she hadn't helped
And Alleria didn't tell the blood elves to start smoking void crack
The void consumes all
Difference there is also that the void elves didnt willingly take on their struggle, illidari do
I'm sure it will consume her sadly
I hope not
Oh yeah true
No the void elves did willingly delve into the void Port
It's forced on them
They researched it willingly
They delved into the void willingly, didnt become void elves willingly
They were warned against doing it prior and delve right back into it.
Void is a hell of a drug
Well regularless of their power boost they still sought the magic of the void
Do not fear the dark, and let the feast begin.
They are like the illidari and the DK's in the sense that they are small number of outcasts
Like a void dreadlord
Void dreadlord is just a normal dreadlord.
Even though their void wings are probably just edgy void things
๐
would be funny if the void elf PC just took pieces of a naaru and just
