Belated but...isn't an RNG drop luck?
RNG =/= luck.
RNG is entirely based on numbers and percentages.
...what else are drops based on
@olive mirage where did you hear that from
rng is luck if you dont believe in luck
if you know what that means
like just might get it might not get it
๐ Nice! We're getting meow.
meow
I shouldn't be grumpy, but why not "howl"? With worgens and all...
because saberen aren't an allied race yet
Handshakes would be awesome! Or hugs. Or some other kind of interaction requiring approval of another person.
it just says someone hugs you.
/hug is definitely a thing.
i've hugged so many critter corpses
im sure /hug exists cause of the achievement "make love not warcraft"
khajit has meows if you have coin
khajit has wares if you have coin
Khajit is a dead meme
ur a ded meme
khajit has memes if you have coin
I have an old discord channel with quotes and memories from a time that i sincerely miss.
Also, possibly depression, and definitely anxiety
Sounds sad
and, i have depressing knowledge
Do you read your books in your Lamborghini?
?
@ruby prawn i said before we have /bark already
not heard of it until now.
I dindnt read past messages
Since when do we have bark?
no, i don't
since classic
Wow
"happy is a kick in the balls waiting to happen."
ok
When is /meow coming?
bfa
You are truly edgy
obviously
yes, I will finally be able to meow at my enemies come battle for azeroth! all shall know of the mighty human warlock greenegg, the meower.
I knew a guy in basic school who was actually mewing sometimes, we called him Cat
but hes pretty normal now
he grew out of his awkwardness
i knew a guy in my school who was autistic and every time someone said shutup he would jump down on all fours and go rrreeowww angrily then jump up and down on all fours a couple times until someone calmed him down
wow, thats kind of different level
MaXi's level: 30 | Woven's level: 100
well, our guy was just wierd, he was doing that on purpose, well, not sure, but he was that type of guy who was a little bit dumb, wierd and trying too hard to be cool
Thats why he is normal now
you cant really grow up from being autistic can you?
yeah i saw him a while ago in the store and chatted him up
he was really nice
very mature
hmmm, interesting
then
didnt know that
a mother walked by with her kids
and the kid said why does that guy look weird
and the mother said shut up
and he did it again
lol ๐
had to calm him down
so you cant
yeah
what is it
The betrayal Varimathras is talking about could be Saurfang
I don't think Saurfang is kind of guy who would try to discuss peace or something and then betray them
he is honorable orc
thats the point, some datamines suggest some conversation between Saurfang and Anduin I think
thats why he mentions Saurfang
There is conversation between them. We have seen it in the placeholder for when Anduin captures Saurfang
But we don't know the text yet
yes, thats why its called theory
I don't think they have much of a discussion
me too
Saurfang will probably just say he is wounded
Anduin heals and tells his guards to escort him
could be, we will see ๐
there are also some suspicious information about datamines... Christie Golden said on Twitter than recent datamined information can be inaccurate
so its needed to take that with a grain of salt
I mean those datamines
broadcast text etc
But he never actually mentions saurfang. Just that our throne will run red with blood and that can really mean any throne within the alliance.
Vris, do you know how theories work?
You speculate on connections that might or might not be true.
Yes but Maxi had said that Vari mentioned saurfang.
Oh, thought you were referring to me, my bad.
its alright to speculate, just dont base speculations on a speculation. :p
@hollow dock no I didnt, you didnt understand who I was referring to
what'd ya mean then?
well, that's pretty obvious, the only one who mentioned Saurfang in that context was @uncut vault
Ah ok. Yea I did misread that.
nevermind ๐
Thank god
ye those rectangular creatures were pain to look at ๐
can you please find comparison of prarie dog? ๐
just so we can laugh a bit ๐
I heard awesome description from Hazel on youtube... old Prarie dog model is as rectangular as it can be while still be able to call it an animal ๐ ๐ ๐
ah ye ๐ thanks ๐
"Sylvanas wants peace and prosperity for the Alliance as well as the Horde."
BAHAHAHAHAAHAH
oh man
keep it coming sylvanas kids, keeeeeep itttt comingggg
dat new chicken is grooving out btw~
I dont know what her motives are, but to be honest, separating ali and horde by ocean would really result in that, or at least make it easier...
still looking forward to know more about it
any info when they will continue Silithus story?
dont think we gonna get much or anything till pre-patch
hmm, maybe
prepatch should be something like silithus story finale
but there is still long way from now to burning of Teldrasil
it was supposed to be 7.3.5
prepatch will be 8.0
so I guess it should be sooner
Well 7.3.5 isn't over. They simply said it'd come with the silithus stuff in 735. Unless Im remembering wrong.
Just to be clear, from the data mining, sylvanas actually does want peace for the horde. Thereโs a very clear conversation where she says she wants peace, but as long as the alliance remains on Kalimdor, she has no option but war
imp, 7.3.5 is on a slow rollout. The 7thโll be the next phase.
And donโt take the datamined stuff revolving Teldrassil as fact.
No, I specifically said, from what we know
๐ญ
It could obviously change, but we have to base it off what we have
i am gonna miss the old textures
Why? Some of them are as old as Warcraft 3
Iโm glad the thunder lizard is getting updated. It literally is from Warcraft 3
I just hope they update the Ungoro dinos
Oh, you mean with the new Dino models? Me too
Sorta.
Dimorphodons, and Pterrodax updates would be the big ones
I just want an HD touch up to the current ones. Show variancebetween them, Pandaria and Zandalar
Yeeeee. Now update the old worgs
yessss
mistsaber too
or just sabers
hawkstriders
GORILLAs
ok im going to bed bye
Why stop there? UPDATE OWLS DAMN IT
Still wanting them to bring back the Dawnsaber mount.
"where she says she wants peace, but as long as the alliance remains on Kalimdor, she has no option but war"
lul
that info is false, because Sylvanas wants to keep Lordaeron.
People take the datamined Teldrassil text seriously for some reason, when itโs all filled with heavy mischaractrization and memes.
โThe void elves. . . their numbers are endless!โ Is a meme regarding the sheer number of Velf players.
Lorewise theyโre very few.
Also Sylvanas would never threaten Saurfang let alone survive mentioning his dead son the way she did.
Most of that datamined text will end up being fake
Before the Storm even says Sylvanas fears him
Is there a definitive kul tiran logo?
Like a modern kul tiran logo blizzard is working with (like on flags/armor)
I need it for a reference for a drawing
I am guessing this is good https://i.imgur.com/JbLSIfg.png
I really hope you're right, @terse patrol because I hated her reaction in the datamined text
But i've seen a different style of the same logo on different armor
Sometimes Honk, I think the writers just write this stuff in highschool fanfic mode, slap it onto the alpha and then leave it there for a bit and swap it out for the real script right before launch.
sometimes it works sometimes it doesn
I think the variations are supposed to represent the different noble families of Kul'tiras
that doesn't invalidate what I said?
we only know 2 families so far.
The original ^^ and the same logo but without the spikes
Green and yellow are the colors of the Proudmoore Admiralty
I assume blue and yellow are the Waycrest colors.
Sounds about right
never forget, drown yourself in a circle of stars ๐
Then thereโs House Ashvane
@uncut vault I'd drown you.
Im flattered โค
๐
WEEBS
AND PROUD
Ew
i want to see saberen, murloc+troll/ elf hybrids (Not naga), ghost race(s), taunka tauren, sand trolls, half-orcs/ half-ogres, gelblins, leper gnome, Wildhammer Dwarf, ... pcs
worgen druids,
Customizable ships (With vendors, mailbox, inn, and bank)
Neutral Factions
An antagonist that isn't a flat villain.
We have seen ghosts of the races. they look the exact same but in white
ye, but not really as playable races
I was hoping for a class order hall or garrison like system, but on a ship
Well clearly they wont be implementing anything else :v
Also we had an antagonist that's not a flat villain: Wrathion.
also, PCS worgen druids? wha?
(races) playable characters
o, nvm.
i mean elf druids who can turn into worgen?
Like, the original worgen
Those druids are feral worgen though. Like. I'm not sure if you read the comic that brings in the Worgen to Azeroth, but you can't control the worgen transformation and its considered taboo to even try.
then how do the player character worgen control it? ๐ค
druidic magic iirc
Because the worgen curse that's transfered to them is tamed via ritual. It's not the same as transforming into the worgen through the scythe.
Using the scythe they created three pools to bring the curse to heel to the wielder, but its far from actually under control.
now i wanna be an elf worgen even more
the original night elven worgen were imprisoned in the dream I think
Your name fits that perfectly.
ye
Cuz in the RP community
when worgen first came out, every blood elf for miles was a 'worgen'
They rp'd as if they were afflicted by the curse and this was suddenly Teenwolf all over again.
so, do worgen elves exist as playable characters or?
No
No because the only worgen are the Gilneans. All other feral worgen are either working for Gilneas or are dead/dreaming
Feral worgen
Working for Gilneas
Wot
Bloodpack
The bloodpack worgen are a group of mostly feral worgen working under Ivan, their alpha
i thought that group was human worgen
The other worgen packs have been absorbed into the Bloodpack when the Forsaken started purging through Silverpine
Not to mention elves turning into worgen look no different than humans turning into worgen. So giving the night elves a worgen subrace doesn't make much sense?
they could just replace the worgen curse race with another race and make it either an option for elves/ human pcs to acquire or have it be on customization
they could. but then that'd invalidate about half of cataclysm and the entire questline to introduce Gilneas into the alliance and the whole starting area of the Gilneans. and what would all of that be replaced with?
All of that could be about the same.
When worgen humans are acquiring the curse, they could go through the worgen starter area.
Idk much about the other cata stuff having to do with worgen
well then theyre still the worgen race
yes, but they're not just worgen.
And if it were like that, the worgen curse could affect more than one race in terms of player characters
the worgen curse already can. but that invalidates the whole worgen player race.
i'm not sure how
In which if you actually give players an option to avoid it, people will. Most people hate being forced into being a worgen 80% of the time anyways.
OK arson. Let's say we give every race the same special racial ability.
That no longer makes it special for that race and you have to ask the question, what's the reason to play that race.
making the worgen race attainable by every other race doesn't invalidate it imo because if it were not an actual race then,
- It wouldn't have racial abilities since it wouldn't be a race
- Replacing the worgen race with another race wouldn't mess up the story because all the worgen npcs who matter would still be affected by the curse.
I'm also not sure where I said I wanted to see equal racial abilities in all races
You would because the WORGEN ARE A RACE ATM. You are removing an entire part of the game for a small customization change, WHICH IS A RACIAL ABILITY
You handing everyone worgen form gives them one of the worgens special racial reason to actually play. Which is goingwolf.
And what happens to all the current worgen players?
Please STOP COMPARING WOW TO OTHER MMOS
they'd probably be about the same
So then the worgen race ISNT REMOVED
i'll stop comparing WoW to other mmos when it stops being an mmo
ESO has a different story, context, and engine than WoW.
Just because its an MMO does not mean its equal in any way shape or form
The worgen race is just the human race with a few extra gimmicks minus the +10% xp boost and other stuff.
The worgen race would be renamed to "human" and get all the human racials if it were removed but the curse itself wouldn't be removed unless a ritual or whatever is done to remove the curse
humans dont have an xp boost.
o, rep boost then
you haven't really specified how
You are removing an entire starting zone and leaving a chunk of the story empty to give everyone the same two forms racial
"Oh, by that logic, all races would get the same racials" even though, if the worgen RACE were changed to worgen CURSE it would no longer HAVE racials!
EXCEPT THAT ITS A RACIAL SPELL THAT MAKES THE TRANSFORMATION HAPPEN
SO YES IT WOULD BE A RACIAL ABILITY
smh
spells are delegated to 2 things in WoW.
Class or Race
It certainly wouldn't fall under class spells
Worgen isn't a race except in terms of gameplay.
It's only called racials because it's a race in terms of gameplay.
It's a curse in lore and has pros and cons which support that.
But the human/ elf/ whatever side of them still has everything else in lore, but not in gameplay.
does that make sense?
Yes it does. But you can't IGNORE ALL OF THAT when transitioning it into the game.
and i'm ignoring what part of it exactly?
GAMEPLAY
In which the worgen curse isn't curable. once you're afflicted, that's it. You're a worgen
Gameplay changes considerably over almost every expac. As such, that's not really a reliable book to go by
Yes however, with the exception of cataclysm, blizzard doesnt REMOVE sections of the game.
Blizz does tho.
You just said it
why the HELL does wod content not scale like literally every single thing in game
In which, what was removed with cataclysm wasn't having to do with the races.
Because Wod scales from 100-110.
you arent getting my point vris
only time but doesn't that mean they could and likely will do it again?
doesnโt WoD scale 90-100?
are still lvl 98
WoD scales 90-100.
Im not sure if you're aware Fire, every place doesnt scale below its intended entrance level
- not 90.
Oh wait. WoD. Whoips
are you kidding me right now,i literally quested through silithus at level 20,quested in krasarang wilds at 83
and now i cant quest anywhere i want
wtf blizzard
i went to talador,mobs are still 94
Talador is meant to be entered at that level
i'm lvl 92
Blizzard even says in their post nothing scales BELOW its intended level.
It just scales UP to max level for that portion of the game
that doesnt seem to be the case
then you've somehow bugged the game
i literally quested in icecrown at level 60
Oh yea
that's fine
because if you read the post, BC and WotLK are scaling at the same 60-80 bracket.
81-90 for MoP and Cata areas and WoD hasn't been changed
even in legion,you can go in any area at lvl 101
I did Legion at 98
wod is only one where blizz shit the bed
tf u talkin about
are you high vris,i dont think you're understanding what i'm saying
that's the only exception in the entire game excluding wod
No WoD is
and always has worked that way
they even said in the post they hadn't touched WoD
Your fault for not reading the post
well,since they said level scaling in the world
i expect everything to be level scaled in the correct bracket
In the old world and then posted all the affected areas
they said 90-100
which didn't include WoD ๐คท
Yes because as the post also said
it doesn't scale BELOW the intended entrance area.
like it was before level scaling
exactly.
i expected it to level scale like every single other piece of content in the game(excluding suramar) and i got cucked
Feralas is still a level 35ish area (I think its 35) if you're 20 and going into there
As for Legion, it works like that because all four zones are intended to be your starting zone and ending zone.
Hence why it never matters where you start or finish
i'm extremely salty wod doesnt level scale
it does scale up tho
it just operates like everything else in the old world. not legion. cuz nothing in the old world scales up like legion.
i dont care it scales up,i'm trying to level here
Then ya probably shoulda done a tad more research instead of just assuming
you'd lvl faster if you didn't stop to complain in here.
js
i'm not a tryhard i dont do research for something as trivial as leveling
Then we wouldnt have Method Zero, level 110 in 6 hours of total gameplay. :v
leveling =/ level scaling
it just got hotfixed?
Didn't you read about the changes to experience in dungeons? If there's a high-level character with you, you get little to no exp
You know, I missed that part
epic
It was a bug
I said it was a bug
It didnโt exist prior to 7.3.5 (at least not to the same scale), and it didnโt exist on the ptr
If this was Bethesda this certainly would have been a feature
Who?
Bethesda. Gaming company behind Elder Scrolls and Fallout
very notorious for having both franchises riddled with bugs in all of their games? Most of them hilarious.
Yup!
You'd wonder..
most people play them for the bugs. though they say its for the plot.
lol
Cuz its hilarious to see random cows being flung into the air or horses go up 90 degree slopes
mod dat shit and u get thomas the train engines being flung around :D
Oh god yea.
The skyrim train replacement mod is terrifying. All the dragons get replaced with Tomas the Train Engine.
music, sound effects, all of it
Please enjoy more videos at our main channel! https://www.youtube.com/NebulousTube
The tigers people needed him
Maybe not all of them
Kul Tiran, Vulpera, Tuskarr, Furbolg, Tounka, Jinyu, Night elf Worgen, Arakkoa, Val'kyr, Naga, Saytr, Eradar, Sethrak, Ogre, Vrykul should all be playable races
alllll of them :D
I was watching some YT video that said they are from the emerald dream
That's where they were imprisoned
Theyre just worgen. Theyre no different than the worgen we currently have
what is your guys obsession with them?
furries
furries
I thought they were permanently Worgen with some differences
lol
Well the change can happen over time hopefully
its been what. 3-4 thousand years since War of the Saytr when they appeared. and all the feral worgen in Silverpine are escaped Worgen elves, so no. there is no difference. wolf people all look the same here in WoW.
But, there could be
Sure. Just like humans could suddenly return to their vrykul forms.
Can it happen? Yes. Will it? Likely not.
Night elven worgen cannot change forms.
Does that mean that night elven Worgen offspring will be Worgen
IIRC the Worgen curse is not passed on
But in the same time, Elven Worgen are perma enraged so they won't do much offsprings.
The curse is not passed on through offspring.
Children (if any) would be of the parent race, uncursed.
Yes Messlet said so just before.
But I think the non-squicky answer SHOULD have been that worgen are infertile.
Instead of Blizzard going out of their way to say "Well ... technically."
<shrug> It's useful for worgen's rpers.
Being fertile is useful for RPers.... W-Wh...
Vris, the fact that itโs a curse has no relation to it not being passed on
Otherwise, humans would birth metal vrykul babies
Yeah the curse actually changes their dna
Assuming dna exists
They can be hanged back by any titan keeper though
Thatโs what Odyn does with the Vrykul
Tolโvir also regained it
Some, at least. Or was it some of them when they allied with Deathwing and then all of them found a way to do it?
Idk.
But there ARE ways.
I would imagine the worgen curse is a little different as its from Goldrinn. Not the old gods. :v
Mhm
Yeah worsen curse is probably still genetic though
Itโs more like a disease since it is a reference to werewolves
But it is probably passed down to their kids
I donโt think we have any way to check though
Blizz said it doesn't pass down to kids
Genetics in Azeroth are probably a bit wonky when half of the races evolved from magic robots turned to flesh by a curse
They did specifically say its not a hereditary curse. Two worgens who have a kid do birth out a little smol hooman
Also think of the logistics of it.
A curse is a curse. It's not hereditary, nor can the baby contract it from the worgen mother's blood if you're going to use that excuse.
"The baby and mother share blood during development." is a myth.
The umbilcal transfer of fluids doesn't work that way.
It provides nutrients, disposes of waste, and can carry over viruses but not blood.
Though fetal cells can end up in the mother's system, which is actually dangerous, and we don't exactly know how. Not sure if the opposite is true. But most importantly, none of this matters. There are hereditary curses in WoW.
Worgen happens to not be one
Word of Godโข says that the worgen curse isn't.
That's the thing that matters here.
If the development team said no. It's no.
Answered it right there.
Fel is corruption that mutates and warps the body.
The worgen curse is the botched byproduct of a druidic form, druid forms are spirits that take over the host.
I did not say the worgen curse was hereditary. It is not. I said you saying curses could not be hereditary is false, because in WoW, some curses can be hereditary.
there are hereditary curses in wow, the curse of flesh being the biggest example
@jade basalt I said that because something is a curse doesn't mean it is hereditary, as a response to Vris saying "It's a curse so"
Presumably Titanforged couldn't exactly do hereditary until Yoggy invented dicks ๐
Which came with the CoF
@zinc sandal Yea I was responding to xanuzar
Oh
I heard BfA is taking away some of our action bars.
Well dont believe it. as no action bars have been removed to our knowledge.
I think that on the contrary they added one
That'd be nice, since decreasing them sounds ridiculous.
btw is there any videos about mistweaver class in BfA?
i've seen allot about other classes but cant seem to find one for monk
did someone say anime :D
that is a wolf. not a dragon. and weebs are illegal.
its a dwargen. Dwarf worgen.
and an anime one at that :D
Came up with new theory for ya guys
We don't get to play dreanor orcs really but someone found a way to clense green orc of fel
Unlikely
i have a better theory
what if the reason there was no info for classic is because its not a seperate thing, they are slowly making current wow INTO classic wow
the level scaling brings back a little bit of difficulty
then they get rid of the scaling bit, leaving the difficulty
and then make the battle for azeroth lore have entire continents be destroyed
till its just ek and kalim
lol
voila!
Well, the green fel is fading in the orcs, but its slow. Much slower than the blood elves who are feeding on Light.
Its not classic because it doesn't take 6 months to hit max
Yeah. Fel corruption is bound to disappear eventually.
Classic is actually going to be a mobile app
Preposterous.
Lol, we get completely messed with. WoW Classic is just a remake of Warcraft 3 with minimal requirements for phone or something
Actually, now that I say that, that would be awesome
Warcraft 3 on Phone? If it could be ran without issues, I would love to see something like that
tbh wasnt there supposed to be a "big WC3 announcement" soon
None that blizz said
Yea. Blizz didn't announce anything
Do you think we'll ever get glaives? And by glaives I mean like the ones Wardens wield
Warden could be an idea for a new class. Or the spec of a new class.
Probably not. and wardens, at least their themes in Warcraft 3, share a bit to much with rogues.
In WC3. They don't look much like rogues now, I think.
They shadowstep, stick to the shadows, hunt contracts, throw knives and blades everywhere.
If I'm not mistaken, which I probably am, Warden is a prestige class in the defunked RPG. Granted it is the RPG, but it shows how blizzard has viewed them and its stayed consistent.
Hm.
Maybe they can take Sub and make it more Warden-like, like they did with making Combat into Outlaw and more like Pirates, but that comes with the issue of wardens only really belonging to the alliance.
True.
Is BFA in Beta now or still alpha?
alpha
Okiedokie, ty kindly, channel name threw me off ๐
We love to disappoint.
messlet did you reroll to priest recently
Always been a priest.
you changed your icon recently tho
Really the label of it doesn't matter to much @sacred glen
I'm on IRC version of discord so I don't see the icons :v
It should not look like that, but okay...
No? I use the dark theme. My eyes cant handle the light theme.
sorry if I use IRCs more than normal chat rooms
good vris
Idk what that is, but it sounds sinful
internet relay chat.
You get into a client, log into a very simple, [time][Name]:[text] format chat.
Allows you to see a lot more lines of text too :v
Yeah. Sinful.
I think umbras and glaives would work as heritage weapons, if they ever decide to actually implement those and make some for existing races. Animations fit the night elf one hand strike.
I think they should just keep the heritage stuff to the allied races :v
Why
For starters the allied races are hell to farm for.
They really arent
and heritage armor is just something for them. I hate seeing secluded things given to everyone
Plus, screw the idea to add very race restrictive class.
I assume you're against DHs then
I like class restrictions
I mean it's not as bad as in Tera at least.
Unless something's changed recently, every single new class is female-locked to a specific race or two.
Loli ninjas
So I guess DH doesn't seem to terrible in comparison.
At least there is a story reason as to why its the 2 main elven races only and has given the chance at spreading to the other races as time goes on
I did read that lore-wise, other races can be DHs, but we can't make them.
yea. Being a Demon Hunter just takes a demon to hunt and a teacher to guide you.
But with all the teachers in cryosleep until now,
Technically, anyone can be anything
Yea. All it takes is the proper circumstances.
Mhm
its whether or not the race as a whole can get access to it. Like I have one of my characters that's an nelf orphan who was taken in by an orc shaman and taught to commune with the elements.
Or my ex-alliance human who has gone with the Illidari and is an initiate demon hunter.
Blizzard is kind to us in letting us write whatever stories we want, just have to consider the gameplay as well. :v
Gameplay is a foundation to build upon. Not the end-all-be-all.
Do you think at some point they might add other races to DH then?
You're also not restricted to just one class, even though you are gameplay-wise.
@subtle flower I doubt it.
Eh. I'm not so sure.
During Blizzcon after Legions announcement they had answered the question on DHs being given to other races, in the near future they aren't going to but sometime later they might. It'll take time, just dont expect it soon.
I'd say they're more likely to do that than Tera is to give a Male Aman ANY new class.
Do you have a video of it, Vris?
I don't. As it was a long time ago and I only watched the livestream ;v
@jade basalt Do you have any information on blizzard saying what I claim?
Hmm I think I might remember them tackling the question but I don't remember the answer. Looking at the 2017, 2016 & 2015 Q&As I can't find anything.
So I don't think so but I'm not sure.
I remember them answering it at sometime during a blizzcon. Not sure if it was after legion, during or sometime before. :v
Possible yea
Hmm digging through my notes I got this
" 2016/07/29 Right now it's Night Elves and Blood Elves due to the class fantasy with Illidan and WC3. No immediate plans. And limiting it to elves allowed for more customization (voiceover, appearances); adding races makes it more difficult to keep up with. Never say never though."
Oof.
So yeah. I doubt theyโll do it.
Thing is demon hunters are more than a class, they're practically a race. They have custom voice overs, tailored animations, and customization. I mean they have twice as much customization options as an Allied Race. So while giving the "warrior" class to a new race is not such a big deal, making another race able to become demon hunters is a whole other issue, because there is so much more to transfer.
And that's only the technical side. Because there's also the class fantasy (elves) and whatever they mentioned. I don't think gnome demon hunter fits that fantasy of a servant and elite soldier of Illidan. Or the fantasy of truly "sacrificing everything" to seek revenge against the Legion, as the elves were the civilizations the most affected by the demons.
Not to mention their specialized starting zone. If they won't reconfigure the death knight starting zone for the obvious races that could be them, I don't see it happening for DHs
There is also not much need for DHs anymore. The Legion is over. Yes, demons still exist, but theyโd be fools to attack Azeroth.
Yea but you can argue the same for Dks. yet theyre still pretty relevant ๐คท
I guess it's mostly just the existing DHs
I mean, now that the crusade is over and Illidan is gone, they didn't cease to exist, they've got to find their own place in the world
Which, because this is WoW, means fully committing to the Alliance or Horde
As a faction, yeah, but sadly there's no option for an individual DH player to be neutral
So the Illidari and the Ebon Blade are just... awkwardly full of opposing players
Both factions are neutral tho. Just the PCs are tied to the faction cuz gameplay
Yeah
It's kind of weird flavor-wise that a neutral faction is mostly composed of not-neutral players, but I can live with it because that's just how Warcraft is
I mean. That's how its been since BC.
PSA: There were demon hunters supposedly being trained prior to BC imprisoning and/or killing most of the teachers for a while.
Even as a ghost, Telarius was still able to recruit new trainees with his writings.
Indeed. but these demon hunters aren't apart of the illidari. their recruits have either died, turned legion, or been imprisoned. DHs have been very active up until Id say Cataclysm within the vanilla world.
I believe its implied that the other DHs ended up going to the Illidari if those other options didn't occur.
The members of the Illidari do seem to recognize Loramus Thalipedes despite him never being offically apart of the sect.
And then end up taking him in as he tries to keep Razelikh under control.
There is also the murloc dk xD
Murgulis, YEAH.
LIKE HOW DID THAT HAPPEN.
murlock dh best dh
I think it was a practical joke a Lich played
Apparently Maiev in HotS harasses Murky about Murkidan and Murgulis about their wereabouts. Since, murloc DHs.
As weird as he is he's still canon. But very much an outlier on the whole DH thing.
Well he fits the bill of DH
Oh, sorrah
murgurlis... u can see the anime of him :D
a bunch of demons invaded his home and destroyed all that he loves
so he sacrificed everything to go fight them
Meant dh, but murlocs can also be dks
and even got one of the illidari felsabers somehow too
so he's bossin' it up pretty hard
he somehow has the warglaives of Azzinoth too
despite illidan having them and setting them on fire
Has that ever been explained btw? why he decided to set the glaives on fire?
Nope, just probably to give him a more "unique" look since 7.2 also ended up bringing the fact that players can transmog the Warglaives of Azzinoth now.
So he pulled them from whatever adventurer claimed them
and then set thme on fire so he can be special
god I hate illidan even more now
I feel like it's implied that Maiev was the one who took them in canon? But it's a little dubious.
Especially when there's no direct Warcraft-based support on it, but it makes the most logical sense.
...
Plus they have a line in HotS for her that jokingly references the fact that she has the Shard of Azzinoth in her dagger colelction.
no no no, u cant hate illidan, u need to feel sorrry for him and Tyrande was a tooooootal bitch for not sucking his D
How was that implied Xan?
what if the warcraft 3 announcement that's rumored for march,is a warcraft 4,and it tells the story of what happens on azeroth while we are busy on zandalar/kultiras
that'd be silly IMO
You mean what happens on azeroth when were on argus?..
neither would work though
Zandalar and kultiras are on azeroth
She does keep DH glaives in the Vault of the Wardens due to the fact she gives the Slayer's their glaives back. So IDK. ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
i mean on the REST of azeroth lul
Doesn't seem TOO much of a stretch if she had the Warglaives of Azzinoth under lock and key as well.
well, the issue is how the story will be handled
Azerotg
Well its not our original glaives from back in the day. its new ones. Which like. its these inconsistences that annoy me
khamnin you are completely missing my point
Dafire means the story of what's happening on Kalmindor and the Eastern Kingdoms
While we are in Zandalar/Kul'tiras
My bigotry towards the factions doesn't impede my understanding of peoples words :v
vris secretly also loves anime~
I don't think I am. We will have story everywhere in bfa. Warfronts, the two sieges. A lot of canon characters will be seen. I can't see it hapoening
This would still be very hard to do
but the issue is how u handle a story in w4 with wow's patches
that's why I really doubt W4 will ever come out
Like. It'd get obsolete almost instantly
If anything, simply a remaster
cuz WoW is still going on.
id be down for warcraft 1-3 remasters
Itd be nice to see some continuity fixes in those remasters if they happen
Like Tyrande recognizing Orcs
Nah they wont do that
sadly :<
Like.
The timeline of that alt azeroth is gone
Cuz
no horde to fight them off in the third war
Alliance just gets crushed, lose the world tree and there ya go
My headcanon for Murgulis is that he has a completely coincidental backstory that exactly paralells Illidan's
No that's Murkidan.
"After consuming the shin bone of Gul'dan, this fiesty demon hunter was caged for 10000 years by his brother Murkfurion."
Murkfurion for HOTS when
Did Murgulis nearly doom the world tho
Can we just replace Illidan's inevitable return with Murgulis
i'm in love with all the new bfa mounts
Yeah, they are all pretty cool
Glad we are getting s good mix of ground and flight mounts too
Not to mention the Pterrodax training where when we first get it, it canโt fly, and the flying one is a separate mount
Oooh Hyena mount! that looks sick.
What up yall!
Anything amazing get datamined this last week besides the Teldrasill text?
Can Pandas be Druids yet?
Wish I could answer.
I'm all about those zandalari death knights
I donโt know if we are getting any new class/race combos
giev worgen monks ;_;
The Zandalari were in WotLK, they should be DKs :angery:
Dark iron / zandalari dks at least can work. //shakesfist
Worgen monks make 0 sense
Void elf monks are a thing.
They are half feral, they are filled with rage. Monks have controlled rage
There is no limitation on monks.
Worgen literally canโt control their rage
Which is why they go wolf form in combat
If literal mutated void-afflicted beings can be monks.
Well, velfs were belfs until a couple months ago
A werewolf can be a monk.
Void elfโs arenโt emotionally uncontrolled
Presumably they were belf monks until they went and joined up with alleria
In fact, the whole void elf shtick is having extremely high willpower to avoid being tempted by the asshole void
Most Gilnean worgen are presumed to have undergone the rituals to tame the worgen side, they're no longer raging savages.
They are unable to fully control their emotions
Whenever they get too angry, they go wolf form
Otherwise we wouldn't have had a major part of their questline to literally do that.
This is still true of Genn
They can control it somewhat, but they are not able to never go wolf
The only 'gilnean' worgen not in control are the ferals in bloodpack I believe.
Not all monks are nice either. It's overdue on the whole monk thing for both goblins and worgen.
But being 'in control' isnt as controlling as we think
Varian is a great example of how hard it can be to control the beast within
Except ... the same concept about controlling inner rage also applies to orcs.
As of the newer canon they can still enter a bloodhaze without even having fel in them.
Inner rage and the feral bloodlust of Goldrinn are slightly different things
As far as Blizzard is concerned, the Jeykll and Hyde concept for Worgen now is near-nonexistant.
They went out of their way to mute it as much as possible in the storyline for Gilnean worgen.
Uh
its never been Jeykll and Hyde O.o
When a worgen transforms they got slightly more feral. this is still true despite the ritual to not make them feral
could learn the way of monk to learn to control themselves even further?
the idea is that they cant control themselves in combat long enough to master any of the techniques.
The angrier they get, the harder it gets to tame the beast as seen with Genn vs Nathanos.
They would never make sense as monks
As seen in the combat of Taran Zhu vs Garrosh, Zhu was calm, collected and focused the entire fight against Garrosh.
Discipline is hard to attain when a force outside of your own instincts are screaming to take over. Orc bloodlust can be tamed by willpower, but rivaling the curse of an ancient is a very different story I'd imagine.
If kungfu panda taught us anything, any furry can be a monk
Again, for those I can see happening with time.
Arenโt they an option according to what we know?
Fairly certain they will be monks
According to the wiki, Zandalari can be: Druid, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior
Sure the playable worgen are heavily story-based. All player characters in that instance are created before the Fall of the Gilnean Wall. That piece of stonework might be unable to keep out big hairy wolfmen, but it sure as hell kept out those filthy Pandas!
Also, I'd expect Zandalari are not Monks similary due to never meeting Pandarens by the time the playable Trolls are "created" at lvl 1.
uh
i think its more that they have been at war with the pandaren
so they arent interested in their techniques
zandalari have known about monks for longer than the rest of azeroth's races
yeah
I want Draenei Jedhin Monks
nightborne had pandaren show up to teach them, so how soon they met it irrelevant
Mess, velves are just blood elves that got forced onto that juice
Belves can be monks so why not Velves?
They can be
Read again, Vris
velves can be anything really because they've got no actual story
Velves are just cooler belves
No actual story? O.o
Mungus, Velves have story. They're belves
Wha
belves who researched the void
Belves nonetheless
i mean they have very little story of their own
and they chose the right side this time around
^
Its a continuation of the belf story.
so it wouldn't really have been an issue to give them all belf classes
@mrpeach774 I wanted to mention the possible disregard for the pandaren culture. Sadly my phone app is direly slow to type
and priests are only there cuz shadow priests
What Vris said.
I think DHs are to juiced up on fel to actually accept the void transformation tbh
Priests have been using the light and the void at the same time for ages
yeah that's why they don't make sense
i wanna see jaina find someone to hook up with and ahve some kids for future generations
Shadow is not the void
Goku
tbh i'm just pissy that i can't play my dk as a velf
warlocks are using the void for a tiny bit
She does not have the best track record with men
jaina has a terribly poor taste in men
maybe she is into women
lol no this is wow
Cuz everyone in WoW is gay.
making an lgbt character in this universe would spell disaster for blizzard
jaina and vereesa make good couple
Why?
They already did Mung
when
In the tailoring questline there is an openly gay elf who is searching for her wife
for Legion
i wonder how many allied races they gonna make
European server has some special guilds
that's a pretty hidden example
Ever since Vanilla they've hinted away that homosexuality is slightly common at least within the elven communities.
im gonna be all burned out by time i get all mine to 110
Hidden? If you pick up tailoring you find her. she has you searching for her wife.
it's different than making a hugely popular lore character gay
that's pretty out in the open.
Maiev is also hinted at
Heck
The NIGHTBORNE FEMALE is bisexual
the player race :v
So we know for a fact, its a thing
are these the same hints that people like pyromancer use to say that bread slices are old gods
there's gay enchanting ghost elves too
i wanted to name all my toons jaina but blizzard wouldnt let me ๐ฆ
I mentioned that one
No
she's my favorite lore character on alliance
No jaina. Only Paina. Rommath will name your toons from now on
But yea Mungus, in the I think /joke or /flirt there are interests for the Nightborne female looking into dating Tyrande
tyrande would enjoy herself too much
Tyrande is not a greedy lover
So maybe they'll actually write her properly
i like the lightforged draenei cause kinda makes me feel like golden frieza or a super saiyan
coughweebcough
lol.
nah i'm just trying to unfuck my keyboard
Ah I see.
have fun guys gonna work the grind getting my allied to 110
I'm at 77 with my Lightforged
hey, here's an idea i'm sure you didn't think about before:
Do dungeons and quests to lvl up! Wow!
Don't mind him, just read his name
Considering you can get that in like an hour or two of running around suramar, probably.
@sage tapir With the recent changes to dungeon exp, it's a lot faster
Not really
Blizz isn't great at making non-token representation
Shame method zero was killed.
Cant have a 110 guildie halping you out, takes ages
it takes ages to kill anything in dungeons atleast in my experience
It pays off, trust me
Wha?
2-3 dungeons = 1 level
Dungeons I was in we zoomed past everything.
maybe I just had a sucky group
Probably
But my group was full loomed. So maybe.
Oh yea. then obvi it'll take forever to kill.
Life without looms must be miserable
i tried leveling without them when the revamp first came out
got bored out of my mind with how slow and painful it was
It's a lot faster lvling in dungeons/ questing than just doing nothing
but i thought sitting afk in orgrimmar was the fastest way to level
blasphemy
not everything i say is trolling btw
it sure sounds like it
i do it just for you! <3
Oh daddy~
get a room
I prefer public
we have a room.
it's called #beta-ptr-spoilers
bloody exhibitionists
aww, does that make you sad?
it scars my innocent mind
good
<insert monocles gif>
Btw Mungus
yeah?
At Lv.77 with full looms, one dungeon run equals around 45% of the exp bar
Maybe more
that's decent
Good to know
Let me run another one and I'll report back
๐
@zinc sandal Dont forget dungeon quests
I've already run all WotL dungeons, so no quests
BC dungeons?
@zinc sandal Great.
You still have Classic, Burning Crusade, Cata, MoP, WoD, and Legion dungeons left.
can't really do any of those aside from BC ones at 77
and i'd venture to guess he's done those as well
eh
when your wondering if youre ever going to win anything especially a mount from of these ๐ giveaways
There are thousands of people here. Do the math.
@sage tapir I just ran Utgarde Pinnacle. It gave me 4% (which is what I needed to level up from 77 to 78) and then another 42%. Full looms, no quests.
So 46-47%
that's pretty good
So 2-3 runs = 1 level
Utgarde Pinnacle has no bonus objectives, so...
Culling of Stratholme has a lot of bonus objectives, so it'd probably be 50% or more
and ofc this isnt calculating another chunk of xp from dungeon quests. :v
60-80 is officially my personal hell.
same lol
why is exp gain so slow post-60?
cause the game hates us
@terse patrol The leveling curve spikes between 60-80
I hear a lot of complaints that levelling is pretty good with the Cata revamped zones from 1-60, then you get to BC/Wrath and you end up in content older than what you did before
I got all 20 levels by only doing 3 full zones in Northrend, but some of those quests really do show their age
60-80 felt easy and fast, 40-60 was poop.
Once you get to Northrend the quests are way more dense in the Grizzly Hills/Howling Fjord area and you're done before you finish Dragonblight.
Then it just gets even faster with MoP on.
1-60 has 'new' stuff at least when there's so many old world zones that you probably haven't done them all even by now
60-80 is the slog until you get to glorious Pandaria
Glorious Pandaria โค
And then you can get through Draenor in like two hours at most
Pretty sure the 20% exp potion and the treasures not being nerfed is Blizz's apology
Shoutouts to the fact I procrastinated on Draenor so much and did pandaria dailies and timewalking dungeons that I accidentally skipped Draenor
That's productive at least ๐
