I am exalted with everything at least 5, times over

hollow dock
#

but not the new stuff

#

cuz ya know

#

its not out yet

tidal mauve
#

No

#

Yes lol

hollow dock
#

where in the embassy?

#

My bet is that its leftover resource from the garrison.

#

That looks like the horde one.

#

In reused assets from WoD yes.

jade basalt
#

Blizz whom has a reputable track-record of never placing things without ulterior motives

Are we talking about the same Blizz

hollow dock
#

You'd be amazed at how much they reuse and just leave stuff behind when they reuse buildings

jade basalt
#

^

#

Are you even remotely serious

hollow dock
#

Oh yea when they had to redesign the area.

#

but if theyre just plopping down a reused building

#

theyre not going to be a stickler to detail there

jade basalt
#

They literally take any NPC or doodad that might remotely fit and use it, no matter the context (temporal or spatial). "care to detail" come on, some fish are labeled as Humanoid.

hollow dock
#

also the garrison building was put in before Ion gave that passing one off statement

#

Id be fine in that.

jade basalt
#

Nope because that's not what I'm debating.

#

Just Blizz whom has a reputable track-record of never placing things without ulterior motives

hollow dock
#

OK?

#

What can you buy stuff with credibility?

#

when blizz updates them

#

that's when we should expect them to get updated

#

yup

#

Its an alpha, things get put on there when theyre ready. Theres no schedule.

#

You guys will get great news this week about both WC3 and BFA.

hollow dock
#

Im doubtful

#

Unless its to announce Vulpera never get allied race, or Sethrakk go alliance, it'll never be great news about BFA

leaden garden
#

My mind what news?

#

WHAT NEWS DAMN YUUU

#

Dunno, what news?

#

Should'a changed it to "Nobody" so that it says "Nobody is typing..."

hollow dock
#

its another 'leak' I bet

steel venture
#

I for one welcome our snake overlords if thats the news

hollow dock
#

same

#

I bet theyre gayer than the elves

strange falcon
#

nothing is gayer than edgy void elves vrisd

#

you should know this

snake gays (snays),

hollow dock

THE SNAYS

no they're just emo

strange falcon

Naga definitely.
Sethrak probably

THE SNAY SNEEPLE

strong python
#

OMG I'M SO HYPED ABOUT WARCRAFT

#

oops

hollow dock
#

that you know of Mane

strong python
#

sorry guys

hollow dock
#

Female Arakkoa exist but theres no defining features between male and female

leaden garden
#

Worgen didn't have a female model until Cata either

hollow dock
#

^

leaden garden
#

Admittedly the female model wasn't a huge improvement though....

hollow dock
#

the alpha female model was

leaden garden
#

I don't think I saw that

hollow dock
#

They not having a female model means nothing

leaden garden
#

Oh dang, yeah that does look way better, why did they do away with that?

true matrix
#

androgynous player races pls and thank you

hollow dock
#

All never meant to be player characters.

#

I only want Sethrakk if theyre adding in the veeple.

#

So I can lead a proper extermination of the veeple

#

they haven't but you should see people vehemetly say theyre being added in cuz they got some extra details other NPCs dont have

#

apparently some face stuff as well

#

Oh who was it that was advocating the feeple here.

#

Which is something theyve done in the past but ya know

#

Because it was this way with the Lightforged and Velves

#

clearly the feeple are being added in

strange falcon
#

imo for april fools they should put in sheeple as a playable race,and they can only be mages,and the entirety of their kit is polymorph with 0 cooldown

hollow dock
#

Which is why I want sneeple pu tin. to hunt down the feeple

#

The feeple will be hunted down by the sneeple in the grandest crusade since the scourge war!

#

horde

#

cuz theyre labeled horde

#

Oh I fully believe they wont get added in

#

But I willadmit, I think theyre just goblins in the same situation as the Gilbin

#

Lorewise I mean

strange falcon
#

mane,the alliance already has their own furrybois

hollow dock
#

Meaning how they came to be fox people.

#

I do.

#

Keep the furries away. furries attract the weebs

#

Oh Im sorry are the moving rocks, space goats, british werewolves, amazon warriors, and walking footballs boring just because humans exist?

strange falcon
#

yes vris

#

humans in a fantasy game bring the faction down 5 to 1

hollow dock
#

except the SNEEPLE

#

EN GUARDE!

meager warren
#

"moving rocks"?

strange falcon
#

vris now imagine a sneeple rogue with the rapiers(outlaw mage tower)

hollow dock
#

tHEY DO

#

The sneeple actively hunt and eat the Vulpera

meager warren
#

orcs aren't rocks.
they're descended from rocks. learn the difference

hollow dock
#

Dwarves are rocks

meager warren
#

dwarves aren't rocks

hollow dock
#

yes they are

meager warren
#

^

hollow dock
#

Look at Magni

#

and tell me that's not a walking rock

strange falcon
#

saying diamonds are rocks khadgarface

meager warren
#

does Magni, a single rock/ mineral dwarf existing, suddenly mean they're all that?

hollow dock
#

yes

meager warren
#

smh

hollow dock
#

I'm a racist bigot

#

why is this not clear to anyone

meager warren
#

i mean, at least try to have some sort of logic, Vris

hollow dock
#

If its tied to a faction, I hate it

#

theyre alright

meager warren
#

I thought you liked the alliance, Vris

hollow dock
#

When did I ever say that?

meager warren
#

when you called the Horde "barbarians" a while back

hollow dock
#

Yes and I hate it.

#

yes because they are

meager warren
#

and the alliance aren't?

hollow dock
#

I never said the alliance are or arent

#

I just happen to hate the horde more

meager warren
#

i rest my case

hollow dock
#

theyre stuffed up bigots who hide behind big ol' walls

#

horde are barbaric monstrosities that need to be put down

#

and he chose the wrong side.

meager warren
#

every military structure needs walls to protect themselves.
The Horde and Alliance are military structures

#

Close enough.
The Tauren, Orcs, and Trolls had an agreement which allowed them to form the modern Horde

hollow dock
#

Yea and they ought to be wiped out. Alliance needs to be broken.

#

Remove factions, save the world

mild current
#

Honestly, I have more sympathy for the Horde.

leaden garden
#

#weareazeroth

hollow dock
#

#ForAzeroth

#

I have zero sympathy for them.

meager warren
#

I agree with that but I don't agree that the Horde, in its entirety, are barbarians

hollow dock
#

they rape, pillage and plunder since day one.

mild current
#

The Orcs were tricked by the Legion to kill their planet, forcing them to migrate to Azeroth in droves, not in a safe way, and the races of the Kingdoms never quite forgave them for what the Legion ordered them to do.

leaden garden
#

There's actually a lot of Horde that aren't really barbarians and don't do the whole rape and pillage thing

meager warren
#

pillage and plunder, sure.
but rape? since when?

hollow dock
#

Legion didn't order them to slaughter the people of Azeroth. they did that on their own violition.

leaden garden
#

In fact I'd say most of the horde is beyond that at this point, it's been a couple decades since the events of WC3

hollow dock
#

Remember Garona?

#

You think her Draenei mother wanted that orc willingly?

#

its not been a couple decades since then Benj

strange falcon
#

since the medieval age

meager warren
#

The Legion ordered the Horde to conquer Azeroth.
They couldn't do that with the Alliance in their way.
So, out with the Alliance and in with Legion Azeroth

hollow dock
#

it's been less than ten years since then

leaden garden
#

Well given that WoW came out in 2004 and WC3 came out in the.... late 90s? Like 99 or something, and WoW has largely been chronological with no determined "game time" differentiation

meager warren
#

@strange falcon the medieval age is a historical thing and not a fantastical thing.
WoW is based on Fantasy and very little of it is based on History.
I have no memories of the Horde raping anyone.
If the Horde did do that however, then the Alliance probably did too.

leaden garden
#

I'd say no it hasn't been less than a decade lol

hollow dock
#

WC3 happens, four years later Vanillas events happen one year later BCs events happen, one year later WotLK, one year later cata, two years later pandaria, one year later WoD right after is Legion.

#

That's the WoW timeline

leaden garden
#

Where is that timeline?

strange falcon
#

i'm all for horde,so i wasnt saying that the horde raped anyone(which they didnt) actually it's the alliance that raped a lot of people,as in with all the crusade cults that pop around

#

like the scarlet crusade

leaden garden
#

Like where does it specifically give those numbers? I'm curious

strange falcon
#

and all that

mild current
#

The blood elves were outcasts from the Alliance, painted as villains because of the good ol' Sunwell and Arthas' rise to power. The Tauren weren't any kind of villains. They allied to the Orcs on Kalimdor due to the mutually beneficial pact, and they were already peaceful towards the night elves. Thrall understood that peace, and cultivated it, but Thrall didn't have all orcs and trolls under his banners. The Gurubashi trolls and the Dragonmaw orcs were more than capable of making the more influencial Alliance races consider the entire species horrible. The Undead... well, just wanted to live in peace, which Sylvanas ruined in Cataclysm.
Honestly, out of the Horde races, I can't see anyone except Sylvanas as a real villain.

#

Yep.

mild current
#

Who needs visual guides LUL

meager warren
#

"I can't see anyone except Sylvanas as a real villain"
Spot. On.

hollow dock
#

Theyre all barbarians.

meager warren
#

no

#

ur a barbarian

hollow dock
#

Every last one of em. Slaughter em all, let god sort em out

mild current
#

Because we as humanity are so much better.

leaden garden
#

According to that the fall of Stormwind was year 3-5 and the events of WoD are year 31

mild current
#

I still play Horde quite willingly. I love Sylvanas, I think she's a great character, but I don't think she's a hero. I think she's incredibly selfish. And I'm excited to see that in BFA.

hollow dock
#

Yup. and right after WoD is Legion.

leaden garden
#

So that right there is almost 20 years between WoD and the Orcs pouring into Azeroth

#

Actually that's more than 20 years

hollow dock
#

WC3 isn't when orcs poured into azeroth

mild current
#

WC3 isn't the fall of Stormwind either.

hollow dock
#

That's WC1

leaden garden
#

The New Horde was formed in Year 18 with Thrall as the Warchief

#

So still 13 years to WoD

#

And then another couple of years to Legion

meager warren
#

Humans send soldiers in to way just to die.
They rape and murder innocents to gain land and resources instead of asking them.
They're bigotted towards each other.
So how are humans any better, Vris?

hollow dock
#

Warcraft 3 is Hyjal and the rise of Arthas

#

Why are you all assuming Im saying the otehr side is better?

leaden garden
#

Yes and WC3 is when the Orcs are no longer doing the Viking thing

#

Thrall is leading them and getting them away from the Viking thing

#

Trying to, at least

hollow dock
#

It hasn't been decades since WC3

#

Which is what you intially said

meager warren
#

because you keep saying that one side is horrible without referencing the attrocities of the other side as well

leaden garden
#

According to the timeline you posted, yes it has been over a decade

hollow dock
#

So? I hate one side more than the other.

meager warren
#

and, why do you hate one side more than the other?

leaden garden
#

Okay not decades, plural, but it's definitely not less than 10 like you suggested either

hollow dock
#

WC3 ends in year 22. Its now year 32. that's not over 10 years.

#

Maybe year 33 now with the end of legion.

leaden garden
#

WC3 begins in 18

mild current
#

But, hey, Vris, I ask you this, what place remains the same for 20 years? During warfare? During trials of will? I tell you, no place remains the same. And that's why you can't call out an orc for what happened during the first invasion of Azeroth. Some of them are decendants of the ones who initially came to Azeroth. Of course, the invasions were fueled by a will to keep the orcish young safe from a dying world, but I hardly think you can give offspring the blame for what happened.

leaden garden
#

Which is the timeline where the orcs stop being Viking like

hollow dock
#

Those are great soapboxes y'all are on

#

but hte orcs are still barbarians

mild current
#

As for the rise of Arthas and the invasion of Hyjal, need I remind you that Elves, Humans and the new Horde all banded together to stop Archimonde?

leaden garden
#

Legion begins in year 43

hollow dock
#

The unofficial timeline Benj

#

UNOFFICIAL. It's not endorsed by blizzard.

leaden garden
#

Which is.... 25 years after WC3 begins

hollow dock
#

Its not the blizzard canon. :v

meager warren
#

Nothing on Gamepedia is the blizzard "canon" if u want to view it that way.
but people still use Gamepedia

mild current
#

Did you know that the blizzard canon also is that orcs aren't a savage, bloodthirsty race, but a proud and honorable people?

hollow dock
#

Gamepedia labels what is canon and what isnt

leaden garden
#

Blizzard cannon doesn't seem to have any official timeline, this is mostly what people are determining from various novels and timelines

#

canon*

meager warren
#

They were a savage, bloodthirsty race, under the command of Blackhand.
But Blackhand is fucking dead

hollow dock
#

Did you know that's completely false and theyve always been before the legion

#

so you're both wrong on that

mild current
#

So you're saying in-game information is wrong.

#

Lol

#

Kay

hollow dock
#

and Benj, the Ultimate Visual Guide is where this timeline is from. Something blizzard had printed out. that is the timeline.

mild current
#

Done

#

No convincing the blind and deaf.

hollow dock
#

You really didn't watch the Lords of War stuff huh?

#

Their blood rage has always been in the race.

meager warren
#

How is what i just said wrong?
Blackhand was a shitty person.
He commanded a shitty army.
Then he died and the army got better

hollow dock
#

: They were a savage, bloodthirsty race, under the command of Blackhand.

#

That is false as they were a savage bloodthirsty race before the Legion or Blackhand

mild current
#

Vris is deranged, he'll believe they're horrible because he doesn't like their skin tone or posture. It really doesn't go deeper than that.

meager warren
#

Sources?

hollow dock
#

Lords of War: Durotan.

leaden garden
hollow dock
#

I told you all before y'all went on this that I was a racist bigot

#

And you all didn't believe me

#

now you believe it?

meager warren
#

Lords of War isn't canon either because that's from WoD.

mild current
#

WoD being an alternate dimension.

uncut gorge
#

Never judge a person (or orc) by their ancestors. Thrall is a good example of that.

meager warren
#

^

hollow dock
#

LoW is canon. It's not an alternate dimension, its an alternate timeline. What happens there has nearly mimiced our timeline with the exception of several key events that turn certain people to do certain things

mild current
#

To be fair, Thrall's bloodline was pretty damn great.

hollow dock
#

Like Ner'zhuls wife not having perished, Garroshs' mother dying early, etc.

mild current
#

If it's a timeline, then that means that the Outland we know shouldn't actually exist, but it still does.

hollow dock
#

You dont know what 'alternate timeline' means do you?

#

This is far from the first time blizz has had us go into a different timeline to our own.

#

One such example is Twilight of the Aspects, Thrall goes to another timeline where he perished as a baby and Blackmoore attacked the alliance with his own Orcish horde.

meager warren
#

"alternate timeline" being,
an "alternate universe" basically.
Have you seen "Crisis on Infinite Earths" directed by Sam Liu and Lauren Montgomery?
Alternate Timelines are different. They're alternate from the main timeline

hollow dock
#

Arthas and Jaina had married and fled into Theramore, Arthas never became Lich King.

meager warren
#

You can't cite WoD lore as evidence for your presumptions

hollow dock
#

It's an alternate timeline as it does alternate from our timeline.

mild current
#

On a completely different note, I'm amazed that someone names edgy troll isn't trolling.

hollow dock
#

I dont think anyone here is actually trolling atm.

meager warren
#

i usually am and sometimes not

#

except, Vris, you seem to be

hollow dock
#

I really am not.

mild current
#

+1

hollow dock
#

WoD, and Lords of War is canon, whether you want it to be or not.

meager warren
#

well, i reiterate, can't cite WoD lore as evidence for your presumptions.
Especially not if you want to be taken seriously

hollow dock
#

It is an alternate timeline, whether you want it to be or not.

#

Everything that's happened in WoD, except a few key events like Hellscreams wife dying and Ner'zhuls wife surviving, is canon to our timeline as depicted in Vol. 2 of Chronicles.

mild current
#

And that's exactly why wo isn't Canon to the base Azerothian timeline.

hollow dock
#

Yet it is? Outland used to be Draenor

meager warren
#

When an alternate timeline is created, it alters not only the present but the past and the future

hollow dock
#

And it did alter.

mild current
#

He's using future events to justify his hatred for orcs in the past. See the loophole? It's literally a paradox.

hollow dock
#

Ner'zhuls wife had not perished, thus he never became the sad orc he is in Golden's book Rise of the Horde.

#

Garrosh's mother had perished, thus he'll never be born in that timeline.

#

Durotan and Draka, as well as the Orcs in that timeline, do not venture to Azeroth

#

These are all massive deviations from our timeline

meager warren
#

everything aside from a few minor details isn't the same in the main timeline as it is in WoD's

hollow dock
#

These details are minor to what is being talked about: Orc biology.

meager warren
#

and them being massive deviations, is my point.
Again, cite the main timeline for evidence if there actually is evidence for what you're saying. Not the alt timeline

hollow dock
#

In which, in Rise of the Horde, orcs are also described to still be bloodthirsty warmongers. Those like the Frostwolves weren't and actively repressed it.

#

Rise of the Horde, as written by Chrstine golden, takes place during our timeline in our draenor.

meager warren
#

so, you admit that there are exceptions because orcs is an entire race of people?

hollow dock
#

Yes? I generalize. Now we're getting specific and thus require the specification.

#

Not to mention:

meager warren
#

this entire conversation has been about generalizations

hollow dock
#

Lords of war was being told FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF MARAAD IN OUR TIMELINE. HIS EXPERIENCES WHILE HE WAS ON OUR DRAENOR

#

So yes

#

theyre canon to our timeline

mild current
#

I thought you sad Lords of War was about Draenor, not Outland.

hollow dock
#

Dreanor is Outland

#

you nincompoop :v

mild current
#

BUZZ

#

Outland is its name in our timeline.

hollow dock
#

Because of what happened to it

#

however

#

it was Draenor in the past when the orcs left it

mild current
#

You dont call Europe the Roman Empire even though it used to be

hollow dock
#

You do when you're refering to the Roman Empire

#

don't you?

meager warren
#

no

hollow dock
#

so you dont call the Roman Empire the Roman Empire when talking about the Roman Empire

mild current
#

Ah, screw it, I literally can't drill through that skull.

meager warren
#

you refer to the Roman Empire when referring to the Roman Empire, not Europe.

hollow dock
#

Just watch

meager warren
#

Present day europe /=/ the Roman Empire

#

Vris, that video was presented around 2014.
It's likely not relevant now and everything in it will at some point be refuted if it hasn't already

hollow dock
#

Yes it is relevant to OUR conversation about this being canon to OUR timeline and the events of WoD having happened within our own.

#

It being 4 years old, and having been reinforced in the Chronicles volume about Draenor, makes it canon.

meager warren
#

we've also had conversations about how Blizzard's word isn't reliable so

tulip torrent
#

Vris, dont you think its time to take off the santa's hat ?

#

@hollow dock

hollow dock
#

never

dense plover
#

yeah, the draenor we went to and outland were approximately the same up until right before we show up

#

grom was going to drink the fel

#

then he didnt

hollow dock
#

a little bit before then it started to deviate as well.

dense plover
#

changing all of the consequences that wouldve followed over the next several months

#

a bit

#

but in general

#

all of the warlord backstories are exactly the same

#

lords of war is canon to the main timeline

#

thats the entire purpose

hollow dock
#

@mild current

dense plover
#

maraad explaining the walords from outland draenor

#

and how they are probably the same people on draenor draenor

which they were

np

odd aspen
#

Yea but

#

For real

#

Zandalari Monks?

hollow dock
#

Theres a very small chance it'll happen.

#

It could always get added in later, but for now it doesn't seem likely.

odd aspen
#

I believe

terse patrol
#

bring maraad back via AU Draenor pls

hollow dock
#

He had already died in AT Draenor didn't he?

wild pewter
#

Doesn't mean he doesn't have an AU version of himself, like Romuul

jovial coral
#

Will those heritage armor sets only be obtainable during the bfa expac

hollow dock
#

That's an odd question to ask Brown. Considering BFA isnt out yet we can attain the heritage armor sets for these allied races.

jovial coral
#

Well when bfa is over and the the xpac after that begins

hollow dock
#

The heritage armor is here to stay. We have never been told its expac exclusive, just race exclusive and you can't earn it if you Race change or Boost it.

#

We will be told if things are getting removed or will become unattainable, so keep a close ear to Blizzard or WoWhead.

jovial coral
#

To make them xpac exclusive would add that little something extra down the line

#

But if blizzard told people it was they'd be like 6?!!

hollow dock
#

Not really?

#

The only thing they make 'expac exclusive' are expac specific legendary questlines. Like the cloak and the ring from Pandaria and WoD. That's about it for expac exclusivity.

strange falcon
#

**mage tower and pvp skins

hollow dock
#

Oh wai tno there are acheivments that are expac exclusive.

#

Actually Dafire, you can still attain all of those skins post Legion

#

you simply wont attain them as transmoggable skins.

strange falcon
#

i heard you cant attain the magetower or prestige skins altogether

#

not the prestige colorations

#

the prestige 2 one

sage tapir
#

the mage tower challenge is being removed

#

so you can't get those at all

hollow dock
#

Is it? Have they updated their information somewhere?

sage tapir
#

it's been like that since they announced bfa

strange falcon
#

i think they said "you can do it if its up after bfa,but it wont give any appearances

hollow dock
#

^

sage tapir
#

yes

hollow dock
#

that's what I remember hearing at the QnA

strange falcon
#

when i say it wont give any appearances,it means you dont even get the one on your artifact wep neither the trasmoggable one

#

so it's literally unobtainable

hollow dock
#

The mage tower and its challenge aren't getting removed, you just wont earn the transmog skin. You can still obtain the skin itself as far as I'm aware and no new information, to my knowledge, conflicts with this.

sage tapir
#

no

#

you can do the challenge but you get -nothing-

strange falcon
#

well afaik you cant get the skin itself either

hollow dock
#

I ask for where you heard differently.

sage tapir
#

wowhead

hollow dock
#

Please link me that article as the 7.3 QnA has differing information.

sage tapir
#

just dig through it a bit

hollow dock
#

or better yet,

sage tapir
#

the 7.3 qna is outdated info

strange falcon
#

the QnA has vague information as they always do,they always clarify later

sage tapir
#

idk why it even matters

strange falcon
#

on wow forums

hollow dock
#

@jade basalt Have you heard anything about the Mage tower challenge being fully removed from the game? Last I heard you simply won't unlock the transmog apperance.

sage tapir
#

like if you dont get it for mogs whats the point

hollow dock
#

its still something to earn and have.

#

Why do you think people grind out old legendaries to this day?

sage tapir
#

yeah but it's pointless

hollow dock
#

It's something to earn and have.

sage tapir
#

old legendaries actually give you something you can use

strange falcon
#

vris,the magetower can be done and completed after bfa,but you get ABSOLUTELY NOTHING,not the trasmog,not the skin on your artifact,NOTHING

sage tapir
#

unlike artifact weapons post-bfa launch

#

because they're kinda gone

hollow dock
#

But its pointless because you'll never use it anyways

sage tapir
#

yes but the item itself is there

hollow dock
#

So are the artifact weapons

sage tapir
#

not customizable tho from what i heard

#

just stat sticks

hollow dock
#

Customizable in the idea that you won't get any new relics from BFA onwards. Because its meant specifically for Legion.

strange falcon
#

yeah

jade basalt
#

@hollow dock They didn't precise, just said the appearances won't be unlockable anymore

sage tapir
#

you also don't get appearances and don't get to change anything about the weapon

hollow dock
#

thank you Quiet.

strange falcon
#

the leveling in legion will go the same as it is now,there are no changes to artifact weapons other than the fact you're not using them past 110(bfa)

hollow dock
#

My case stands. As far as we know, the apperance can still be unlocked you just won't earn the transmog apperance.

sage tapir
#

the appearances won't be unlockable anymore

#

wut

strange falcon
#

he literally said "it's not unlockable anymore"

#

are you blind

#

They will be. you won't earn them as transmog

sage tapir
#

no

#

quiet literally just said otherwise

hollow dock
#

Guys, unlocking them for your specific artifact and then unlocking them for transmog are 2 seperate things

sage tapir
#

no

#

appearances mean appearances for the artifact

#

not for transmog

hollow dock
#

Sak, they intend for all the skins for our artifacts to be transmog

strange falcon
#

since blizz is lazy bastards they'll do the same code,it will check if you have it unlocked then make you able to trasmog

sage tapir
#

i know that

jade basalt
#

I meant in terms of transmog, I think.

"All Artifact appearancesโ€”with the exception of the Mage Tower and Mythic Keystone 15 challenge appearancesโ€”can be obtained after Legion ends."

hollow dock
#

Certain skins like our Challenge mode and PVP skins won't be earned as transmog post Legion.

#

Thank you Quiet, that's what I knew as well.

strange falcon
#

after bfa the mage tower one will be like the secret appearance,it will outright not show up at all on the appearance tab for your artifact

sage tapir
#

with the EXCEPTION of the mage tower and keystone 15

#

which mean

#

s

#

they won't be obtainable

#

at all

#

because that content is going away

jade basalt
#

And also

UPDATE: If you unlock the Mage Tower's base appearance before the end of the expansion, you can obtain the color variants for that appearance post-Legion.

sage tapir
#

yes

strange falcon
#

the same goes for the pvp one

jade basalt
#

So pretty vague on the wording, that's all I know.

hollow dock
#

That line is speaking of their transmog is it not Quiet?

strange falcon
#

if you unlock the first one

#

you can unlock the rest after

jade basalt
#

Don't know, wording is rather vague.

sage tapir
#

it's not talking about transmog it's about the appearances themselves

strange falcon
#

"the color variations" is clearly the artifact itself

jade basalt
#

"Unlocking an appearance" would normally refer the skin in your artifact forge

sage tapir
#

yes

strange falcon
#

exactly

hollow dock
#

Someone should tweet to the devs then. Just to be sure.

sage tapir
#

i'll do it when i can be arsed to change my pass on twitter

hollow dock
#

So never then? Great.

sage tapir
#

probably

jade basalt
#

It might be odd to let you get the actual skin but not be able to transmog it one might argue

sage tapir
#

it makes no sense

jade basalt
#

There was also a forum post, if I can find it

hollow dock
#

I can argue that its odd to allow us to earn old legendaries that are useless.

strange falcon
#

old legendaries are there for the questline

#

the legion legos

#

are just random drops

sage tapir
#

old legendaries have story behind them

#

whole quest chains

hollow dock
#

Sulfuras doesn't.

sage tapir
#

none of the artifact crap has that

#

yes it does

hollow dock
#

Thori'dal doesn't.

sage tapir
#

yes it does

hollow dock
#

Both are drops.

sage tapir
#

both have shitloads of lore behind them

hollow dock
#

So do the artifacts if you take a moment to actually read.

sage tapir
#

which cant be said about artifact skins

crystal forum
#

hold on

strange falcon
#

we didnt say the artifacts didnt have lore

#

we said legion legos dont have lore

sage tapir
#

artifacts do have lore

hollow dock
#

[7:13 PM] Saksija: none of the artifact crap has that

crystal forum
#

you cant tmog ur new stuff into artifacts? what about druid cat forms??

sage tapir
#

their skins have no lore

#

thats what i meant

hollow dock
#

You can Shant if you earn it pre-BFA

strange falcon
#

@crystal forum you're missing context,we're saying that after legion you cant get the magetower stuff anymore

crystal forum
#

ohhhhh okay

sage tapir
#

so arguing that artifact skins and old legendaries are the same is quite odd

crystal forum
#

sorry >.< i misunderstood

hollow dock
#

They both are old things in the game that aren't relevant to the current standing of anything other than something personal that you can flaunt for having gone and gotten in a community that would rather sit AFK on a flying mount in the expacs hub city.

sage tapir
#

and here you are completely dodging the fact that legendaries have lore and interesting story while artifact skins have none

jade basalt
#

Same similar wording on the forum post

Regarding the Mage Tower appearance. If you unlock your Mage Tower appearance before Legion is over, you will still be able to earn the colour variants of it post-Legion.

Likewise the colour variants of the Balance of Power appearance will still be obtainable post-Legion, with the exception of the Mythic +15 variant which needs to be obtained before Legion ends.

Prestige appearances will still be obtainable after Legion, though the exact manner in which they are earned may change.

sage tapir
#

i didn't go through the trouble of getting thunderfury and shadowmourne to sit afk and show it off, i went through it for the story of those items

hollow dock
#

Story's not really relevant to it staying? They pulled the cape and ring despite them having a very long and extensive story.

#

So much more than most of the old legendaries we currently have in the game.

sage tapir
#

they had very little story outside of "the celestials kinda made this crap" and "khadgar likes rings so he made this"

#

they're shoved into the game with no prior lore

strange falcon
#

they said shortly after release they were expac specific

hollow dock
#

Sulfuras has very little story outside of 'its Ragnaros' hammer'

#

Thori'dal has little to no story tied to it.

sage tapir
#

certainly still more than the craptastic mop and wod ones

hollow dock
#

Yet they don't? It took 2 years for us to earn the cape and ring. Yet it takes what. 2 mnths to get a bow and a little bit longer for a hammer?

strange falcon
#

arguing with vris is like trying to teach a monkey how to solve equations

sage tapir
#

that's just gameplay mechanics

hollow dock
#

Hammers not even actually Ragnaros'. It's just a facimily you make with his essence.

dark current
#

Essence? So it's not Ragnos' Hammer, it is literally Ragnaros the hammer! ^^

hollow dock
#

yea pretty much

wooden topaz
#

What is gโ€™huun Iโ€™m doing this for opinions

steel venture
#

IMO: Artifical Old God, created for research purposes by the Titans.

wooden topaz
#

How is it artificial if in the Warcraft 3 manual for the ordering of Azeroth it talks about five old gods

steel venture
#

The five old god statement has not been canon since. Blizzard has refuted it multiple times, G'huun has been experimented on and is locked away in a titan facility.

#

G'huun's theme is also blood.

#

We know that Titans use Anima, a blood-like substance, to fleshshape creatures into existance.

wooden topaz
#

Where is it retconned in

steel venture
#

Chronicle, CDevs, Interviews, etc.

wooden topaz
#

Also in the text in the bfa alpha currently it calls him an old god

steel venture
#

Until G'huun is 100% explained, it doesn't matter.
There is one reference to it, and it is in an incomplete cutscene during BFA alpha.

jade basalt
#

There are multiple references to it.

#

But it was still created by the titans yea.

meager warren
#

who's more powerful, on average? Titans or Old Gods?

wooden topaz
#

How do we know it was created by the titans

steel venture
#

Titans.

meager warren
#

ty

wooden topaz
#

Void lords

jade basalt
#

They said so at Blizzcon.

#

@wooden topaz

meager warren
#

aren't Void Lords just warlock minions

steel venture
#

Also, the plotline may change and it may even become just a construct gone wrong. BFA is still in development. @wooden topaz

#

Do not take alpha lore as 100% factual at this current point in time.

wooden topaz
#

Doesnโ€™t mean anything blizzard can keep ret conning but Iโ€™m going to keep following Warcraft 3 lore since it started something for world of Warcraft

steel venture
#

... Okay? So you're following mostly non-canon material.

#

๐Ÿค” That's really uh ... sticking it to the man? Material that they've scrapped and tossed out?

meager warren
#

Warcraft 3 lore is pretty much obsolete.
Pretty much the only lore you should be reading to keep up to date is the lore volumes that are released during the latest expac

steel venture
#

You must also ignore what Draenei are now then too, because they were basically ALL severely mutated during WC3.

meager warren
#

and "doesn't mean anything" is a great refutation. Really

jade basalt
#

Huge majority of WC3 is still canon. But yea sticking just to WC3 and ignoring 15 years of story development is a weird choice

meager warren
#

^

wooden topaz
#

How about we follow our own opinions until the new expansion comes out

steel venture
#

You must also ignore the fact that Malfurion, Illidan and Tyrande's ages from the WC3 manual make absolutely no sense given that they supposedly grew up together but... the Stormrage brothers are three-thousand years OLDER than Tyrande in the WC3 manual.

#

New lore > Old lore. Every time, it's not really a choice. :T

meager warren
#

but when we follow "our own opinions", we're not following what we know

true matrix
#

"there are four old gods" isn't an opinion, it's factually correct

steel venture
#

^

dense plover
#

yeah

#

new lore is more correct

#

thats what chronicles is for

jovial coral
#

I'm jealous of how knowledgeable some of you guys are on the WOW universe

meager warren
#

well hey, some of us probably spend too much time reading and re-reading lore text for stuff.
My specialty in that case, is MARVEL more or less

#

oh, and Joker

dense plover
#

i do that for everything i like

#

wow

#

comic books (generally less so)

true matrix

I'm autistic, hyperfocussing on specific interests is what I do best

Roleplayer. o/

Kinda gotta know a ton to make character concepts, lmao.

zinc sandal

dense plover

that also

meager warren
#

i rped on a forum once.
that kinda died down tho and now i do it a lot less.
never rped with other non-AI people in games tho

ruby prawn
#

What do rp-ers want as a new race?

meager warren
#

vermin

ruby prawn
#

Sounds like a great addition

#

I think Blizzard is gonna add those bodyguards that the goblins have instead of ogres

#

Do they get new textures?

meager warren
#

wut bodyguards? goblins have anything but money? since when

ruby prawn
#

The ogre looking guys

#

From Kezan

#

You sneaked past them to retrieve some jewelry or something before escaping on that boat

meager warren
#

?

#

i haven't played Goblin starter area for a long time

forest lynx
#

The big dumb goblin ogre oaf things?

ruby prawn
#

Yeah

#

The oafs

meager warren
#

oh god. i remember. those are ugly af

#

worse than goblins

forest lynx
#

I doubt it, they seem to just be using races that share a basic model with existing races

ruby prawn
#

But why do people want ogres?

#

I never understood that

forest lynx
#

Beats me.

#

Some ogres are smart, unlike the oafs

ruby prawn
#

No, they aren't

meager warren
#

i just want to get the race that Rexxar belongs to

ruby prawn
#

I don't think they will make such a race

#

He is unique

meager warren
#

why not?
Rexxar shares the orc model, just bigger and different color skin

ruby prawn
#

Unless we get a rexxar model for the horde and a Kalec model for alliance

meager warren
#

it's do-able

forest lynx
#

There totally are smart ogres

ruby prawn
#

It's a combo between an ogre and an orc

meager warren
#

and..? i never said it wasn't.
that's precisely why i want to see them

ruby prawn
#

It's do able

#

I was thinking maybe they aren't very unique, but I remembered the allied races in bfa

#

The Zandalari are probably the only new models

meager warren
#

None of the allied races, but the Void Elves, could be considered unique

ruby prawn
#

The male Zandalari that is

meager warren
#

no, the zandalari troll model was used in MoP

#

Isle of Thunder

ruby prawn
#

Yeah, but as a race compared to these new ones

#

In the pre-order

meager warren
#

wut?

#

as a race, the zandalari trolls have already existed.
The model of the troll was used in MoP.
The species of the troll has been used in Classic and, i think, cata?

ruby prawn
#

Yeah, but the model we get as a playable race is different from these allied races. New casting animations and stuff like that

meager warren
#

yes but the model isn't new.

still osprey
#

I think the zandalari male share the nightelf male skeleton

uncut vault
#

Their skeleton mixes night elf and troll anims on the alpha

ruby prawn
#

I hope they don't have the nelf skeleton

#

I am bored of that

#

I wanna see the casting animations

#

If they are the same as the nelf ones, I am gonna go to Hazzikostas himself and tell him to change the animations while slipping 50 bucks in his pocket

meager warren
#

he's not gonna give u the time of day for just 50 bucks

ruby prawn
#

I'm gonna give him 50 euros and tell him it's exotic money and it's worth thousands in Us Dollars

meager warren
#

and he's likely gonna laugh at u

#

and have you forcefully removed from the premises

ruby prawn
#

You think so?

#

I think he will even hire me

meager warren
#

unless you can provide something beneficial to the Blizzard team, why would they do that

ruby prawn
#

I did provide them with sth beneficial. A GREAT idea related to their game.

#

It's important feedback

meager warren
#

if they want ideas, they can go look at minecraft suggestions

dense plover
#

actually zandalari have a mix of troll, and nightelf animations

#

along with some unique casting animations and emote animations

ruby prawn
#

I hate the nelf animations

uncut vault
#

Zandalari in ToT use em too

ruby prawn
#

ToT stands for?

jovial coral
#

Throne of thunder

odd aspen
#

Ye but what about zandalari with monk animations

uncut vault
#

Same as any other race, just using the monk animation rig

hollow dock
#

Personally Exso, Id want an androgynous race added in. Itd never happen because sales but I think itd go a long way for the rp community.

ruby prawn
#

Why would you want that

#

There already are androgynous draenei and nelves in Goldshire

hollow dock
#

That isn't androgynous.

ruby prawn
#

Yeah, but they roleplay as one

uncut vault
#

Thats not what androgynous means.

subtle flower
#

Ooh, yeah, that'd be really cool to have.

#

Even if there is still a male/female choice, they could make the differences between them subtle.

ruby prawn
#

Why would it be cool

subtle flower
#

It'd be completely different than anything we have already.

ruby prawn
#

What is going on with you

#

Completely?

#

No, It wouldnt

subtle flower
#

I can't think of any really gender ambiguous race.

ruby prawn
#

We actually have an androgynous race

#

The dwarves

#

There is no difference between male and female

#

Only the beards

subtle flower
#

That is false.

ruby prawn
#

Just as you said, slight differences

subtle flower
#

Their body types are quite different.

ruby prawn
#

:P

subtle flower
#

Their faces are quite different.

ruby prawn
#

It was a joke

subtle flower
#

I imagine their voices are also quite different.

#

You... did not make that very apparent.

ruby prawn
#

It's a stereotype

long wyvern
#

Wait, there are female dwarves?

ruby prawn
#

^

#

Apparently

long wyvern
subtle flower
#

Ah, sorry, I haven't been introduced to that meme yet.

mild current
#

I've heard of female dwarves in long lost folktales.

#

Recent theories suggest that dwarves simply spawn from stone, though.

subtle flower
#

At least in their Warcraft properties.

ruby prawn
#

Actually the orc females look horrible

uncut vault
#

orc females look better than the new male orcs imo

#

straight backs will help that

ruby prawn
#

The females are already straight back

#

Have*

long wyvern
#

Same with trolls

#

Well, the zandalari have straight back trolls

ruby prawn
#

I can't wait for the Zandalari

#

I will do anything to unlock them unless they cost money

uncut vault
#

Yes, thats my point, female orcs already look great to me, straight backed males will make them look better too

ruby prawn
#

Why did they not add the straight orcs in the latest patch along with the new races

uncut vault
#

didnt want to distract from the allied races probably

ruby prawn
#

Yeah, everyone would have rolled an orc xD

#

But what's the story behind it? Why were they not made straight from the beginning?

subtle flower
#

WoWHead mentions stuff like "Mythic Recolor Lookalike" as a set. Does that means there's ways to get those things without doing a mythic?

ruby prawn
#

Maybe yes, but that would be stupid. I hope they don't do that

subtle flower
#

None I'm after, but I was curious.

ruby prawn
#

Or there will be vendors for such gear just for a tmog

uncut vault
#

There's probably no story, just adding something that always should have been in

#

orcs being hunched over in the first place was dumb, only peons were ever hunched

tropic trail
#

@subtle flower I think that means it's a set that looks like a Tier set, but is available to everyone through non-set pieces.

hollow dock
#

@ruby prawn the reason the orcs had their hunch back is because of their forced growth through fel magic. They were made to look that way as heavier warriors to do more killing. Hunched backs were a sode effect of the sudden muscle gain on their upper body but no where near as much om the lower. Current generatioms of orcs shouldnt have the hunched back, the older generations should be evening out as fel fades and the Draenor orcs should never have had the hunched backs.

steel venture
#

@hollow dock .... Source? No, seriously. Only grunts and peons should have hunched backs. They were created out of need for the war machine. Average orcs would not have the back issues.

#

Especially when you have Saurfang as a blatant example now that's .. actually 100% wrong.

#

Since he's fel effected but still completely straight backed. That's how he's supposed to be by lore, and now its finally reflected.

hollow dock
#

My source is Rise of the Horde when it was described that Guldan made orcs that way though fel magic rushing their agimg

steel venture
#

except mag'har also have the hunch due to the model. :T

#

it was never supposed to be canon for all orcs to hunch

ruby prawn
#

But shouldn't they be straight if they had more muscle on the upper body?

steel venture
#

not to mention we've seen even BC red fel orcs represented in artwork and comics with straight backs.

#

fel mutation doesn't hunch you.

ruby prawn
#

Yeah, Blizzard should get their writing in check

steel venture
#

the model literally is hunched because during vanilla you're basically

#

a newbie grunt

#

that wouldn't have meant much

#

since that was the original writing.

ruby prawn
#

Thanks Vris for explaining though

#

If our orcs are grunts, then humans should be all peons as well

#

But why did they update thralls model only to a straight back?

#

In Cata?

steel venture
#

Thrall's 'special.'

#

SMH.

ruby prawn
#

Oh, no

#

It's not thay

#

That

#

It's the fact that the alliance already had some special models

#

And they needed them to be equal

steel venture
#

By lore though, most orcs do actually stand straight.
And honestly, it is. They were going to use a hunched model for his Cata version, but they scrapped it and made him upright because of how dumb his robes looked on the hunched version.

ruby prawn
#

Can you find a link to the hunched Thrall with robes?

hollow dock
#

its probably an internal model as I dont remember ever seeing his model hunched over with the robes.

ruby prawn
#

I found a pic

uncut vault
#

pretty sure it was his beta model

hollow dock
#

Also Xan, I believe the Mag'har and all orcs have hte model not due to lore accuracy, but due to resource managment.

#

It was, at the time, cheaper to make orcs look familiar than make an entire new model for them at the time.

ruby prawn
#

How many employees does The WoW department have?

hollow dock
#

Doesn't matter how many they have.

ruby prawn
#

It does

hollow dock
#

What matters is the timeframe they have.

#

And they are always working half on the current stuff, half on the new stuff.

#

Its why blizzard reuses assets so very often.

ruby prawn
#

What about now

hollow dock
#

More employees just cranks it out faster, not easier to make new stuff.

ruby prawn
#

The new X-Pac is huge imo

hollow dock
#

If anything, more employees is actually worse for making new stuff as its more people all this stuff has to cycle through.

ruby prawn
#

Yeah... I guess you are right...

hollow dock
#

They did have a surge of recruitment, but that was more towards Classic than BFA this round. They did huge recruitment for Legion though so the team is probably almost filling a room in Blizz HQ.

yeah the female vulpera quickly got replaced with updated texture/model (and eyes!) while the male are broken for now

yeah as said, male weren't really updated yet

languid yoke

it's ok Vris we already know you're salty about vulpera

leaden garden

I think Vris is just salty, period

hollow dock

I exude salt.

#

I believe they will add in the upright orcs at the startof the expac. Its already in game for Legion so I see no reason to delay it.

steel venture
#

upright orcs probably will be prepatch IMO

#

it's just not ready yet thus not reflected in alpha.

I might actually play an orc when they get to be upright

he's fucking chad

dim flower
#

he's the only guy that's true to the original horde layout imo

hollow dock
#

I was about to ask why the hate on Anduin

#

but I see we're just memeing

sullen dagger
#

anduin is nice

#

but way too much benevolent

hollow dock
#

Have you seen him just one hit a dreadlord?

ruby prawn
#

Actually Baine wants peace as well

sullen dagger
#

yeah he saw bad shit, but i thik he's way softher that he needs to be to fight aganist the horde

hollow dock
#

We haven't even seen him actually fight other than him actually being a human being, unsure of himself to measure up to the legend that is his father.

sullen dagger
#

it's easier to fight (as a priest) the "great evil" than his previous comrades

#

because at the end we're all l living in azeroth

ruby prawn
#

Saurfang took 3 arrows to the chest, while Anduin cried when he was knocked over

#

(it's a joke comment btw)

sullen dagger
#

also, agree with exosdar baine would have been great asl horde leader

hollow dock
#

I hate that I can't tell if we're just joking or having a legitimate character discussion of anduin

sullen dagger
#

but alas, we wouldnt have the spark for conflict we have with sylvannas

#

some of both?

#

i do thend to diress and say stupid shit, as a joke, but i'm seriously discussing the capabilities of anduin as a leader of the alliance

#

digress*

#

or it is egress?

hollow dock
#

Digress is right.

sullen dagger
#

ty

hollow dock

I think he has it in him, we just need to give him a chance. Again, he's going through an entire arc of becoming sure of himself because of how legendary Varian was. It's a huge act to follow and a lot of pressure to put on the shoulders of a 17 year old boy.

sullen dagger
#

yep, totally agree

#

but still think that there are alliance races that dont have enough representation for the weight they had

#

like dwarfs

hollow dock
#

I do agree on that. The three hammers should be, THREE HAMMERS. not one and a half hammers.

sullen dagger
#

yeppers

#

wnyway well see

hollow dock
#

Gelbin should get some more interactions, even as a science advisor or something. Tyrande should get written properly and Velen. Well. tbh Velen can stay where he is.

sullen dagger
#

i hope through the expansion we can sort some kind of treaty

hollow dock
#

Put an end to this stupid war and let's fight the real enemy.

sullen dagger
#

yep

#

voidlords here we come

#

(first old gods and let azeroth wake up or recover tho)

#

anyway they have been hinting us with void stuff since illgonoth

#

the huge eye in emerald nightmare

split valley
#

HAHAHAHAHA. This quest NPC that accompanies you on this one quest on BfA mounts her horse by standing on top of it

hollow dock
#

They've been hinting at void stuff since Xala'tath.

split valley
#

That's not how you ride a horse!

hollow dock
#

Yup its an alpha.

sullen dagger
#

ah the priest weapon

split valley
#

its how pros ride horses

hollow dock
#

I just can't wait to actually see N'zoth.

#

in all his tentacly glory

#

Oh hey, WC3 might actually get remastered.

mint arch
#

MANDUIN

daring jasper
#

I think you will see G'huun before N'zoth

hollow dock
#

I mean. thats pretty obvious?

#

G'huun has to be dealt with and is apart of the blood troll quests.

dense plover
#

^

#

but ghuun isnt an old god

#

weve gone over this

#

they have no reason to retcon chronicles

#

the theory is that the blood trolls think it is an old god

#

but it actually isnt

jovial coral
#

Hmm

sage tapir
#

isnt it a blood god or smth

#

i mean thats what the model is called

dense plover
#

its some kind of old god thing that was made by the titans and corrupted then locked away

sage tapir
#

oh thats going to be an interesting thing to murder

hollow dock
#

yea, an artifical loa.

#

or old god. Made for what it seems to be consumption.

ruby prawn
#

How can an artificial loa be created

steel venture
#

Anima.

#

Nalak is an example of Lei Shen shaping something very similar to a wild god with his magic.

uncut vault
#

Ghuun is an old god tho

hollow dock
#

Indeed. He could be an artifical loa or old god, one the titans attempted to make thinking fighting fire with fire is a good idea. Peach and I agree that a very likely story is that he was created to devour the Old Gods, a parasite for the parasites, and it used their blood as the base. Which is how he has these old god abilities without actually being an old god.

uncut vault
#

System restoration in progress. Data recovered. Source of corruption is from an old god entity. Multiple entities detected nearby, blocking goal of analyzing and containing corruption in Nazmir. Entities appear to be from the Void. Drawn here from old god corruption. Request to destroy void entities. Void presence inhibiting repair of systems.
Scans indicate errors in reality surrounding nearby structure. Portals directly to the void. Current theory, corruption has old god as source. Void attracted to old god corruption. Portals must be sealed to contain entities lured here by old god corruption. Take this device. Titan Keeper Hezrel has forged it thanks to help in powering up systems. Use device to seal void portals, prevent more void entities from entering area.

#

Must scan interior of structure for damage and determine best course for repairs. Have limited time before old god corruption lures more forces. Inform me when you are ready to proceed with operation to restore containment.
PLACEHOLDER SCENE - Hezrel reveals G'huun being an old god, being experimented upon, and reveals blood trolls want to destroy Zuldazar in order to free G'huun. No way of fixing current containment, must protect Zuldazar. Ateena, blood troll matriarch, arrives, badly damages Hezrel, and prepares to strike.

Return to Gloom Hollow
Old god G'huun behind destruction of containment structure. Commanding blood trolls to destroy final one in location, Zuldazar. Titan Keeper Hezrel must aid in destruction of blood trolls. Cannot allow G'huun to be freed. Must leave interior of Atul'nazman. Meet Titan Keeper Hezrel outside of temple, will help return to Gloom Hollow.

steel venture
#

There's a lot of context that points to the fact that G'huun could be artifical though.

#

Blizzard said he was created.

uncut vault
#

He probably is, but he is an old god

hollow dock
#

An old god yes, but not a true one like N'zoth or C'thun.

#

Artifically created by the titans for some unknown reason.

glad edge
#

if azeroth wakes up wouldnt the planet be destroyed?

hollow dock
#

We dont know.

steel venture
#

We have no idea.

uncut vault
#

Not that we know of. Argus did fine (as fine as Argus can do)

hollow dock
#

Its still up in the air of what exactly happens to the shell once a titan wakes up.

steel venture
#

But given the fact we could kill Argus without destroying the planet Argus, we'll probably be fine.

hollow dock
#

I would argue that Argus was quite possibly severed from the planet prematurely.

steel venture
#

More than likely, although given that titan souls are nebulae. I believe Azeroth can emerge without destroying her shell.

glad edge
#

so what shattered the planet argus?

steel venture
#

It would probably drastically remove the amount of magic on Azeroth though when she does wake up.

The Legion destroyed Argus.

hollow dock
#

Sargeras getting to Argus more than likely

steel venture
#

And plunged it into the Nether.

uncut vault
#

Had to test his soul groping on Argus so he wouldnโ€™t damage Azeroth, clearly.

hollow dock
#

absolutely

"soul groping"

Azeroth: โ€œBe gentle. Itโ€™s my first time.โ€
Sargeras: โ€œDonโ€™t worry, I have practice.โ€

Azeroth does the hanky panky with the old gods every few expacs

Hanky panky

Why did the UT fandom get here

meager warren

UT?

never heard of her.

Undertale.

what does undertale have to do with any of this?

meager warren

hollow dock
#

Soul groping. Its their version of the s word.

meager warren

Portergauge is probably an undertale fan

#

and, doesn't that make u an undertale fan if you got a vague reference to a vague theme?

hollow dock
#

Yea.

meager warren

why not then

Are all of you beta testers right now?

Far as I know, invites have only gone out to important people

AKA not us

hollow dock
#

We're just people who dont mind spoilers and have nothing else better to do but sit here

olive mirage
#

somebody got an alpha invite on an account they have no characters on created like 7 years ago for RaF

#

the only thing on that account is 2 months of sub time for the RaF stuff

hollow dock
#

Yea its called 'random invites' and they mean it

hollow dock
#

Clearly this means they are the next allied race.

sage tapir
#

i honestly hope not

hollow dock
#

everyone but the weebs are hoping they aren't allied races.

sage tapir
#

I don't want fucking zootopia animals in my warcraft

olive mirage

i mean, you already have cows and wolves in your warcraft rooSip

hollow dock
#

Quiet you'll start a howl!

meager warren
#

Oh yeah, WoW is Zootopia

sage tapir
#

I suffer those unwillingly

meager warren
#

All the furries

olive mirage
#

this is nothing new

rich apex
#

Unfortunately, Zootopia didn't have fish people or I'd link that too

#

Or lobster people

olive mirage
#

CRAB PEOPLE

meager warren
#

yes it does. it just never honed in on them

hollow dock
#

We're left to assume Zootopia's society only had mammals evolve to become people.

rich apex
#

Or horse people

#

Oh it does?

#

Good

meager warren
#

it's a world of animal people. the ocean is in there. why would the ocean be empty?

hollow dock
#

because they do have a fish market.

meager warren

hollow dock
#

Oh I dont mind the furries

meager warren
#

i've nothing against furries btw

hollow dock
#

I mind when theyre shoving their tails in my face

sage tapir
#

I said I don't suffer them willingly

olive mirage
#

just dont play on moonguard rooVV

sage tapir
#

but I have more reasons to play wow than I have not to

meager warren
#

i want to see a Shark People race in WoW.

#

that'd be cool

#

Sharks are one of my top-10 favorite animals too ;3

hollow dock
#

I want to see Sethrakk become the next allied race so I may create a grand crusade against the Vulpera.

olive mirage

what about the intelligent raptors that made it to the moon

meager warren
#

wut

olive mirage
#

you dont know that questline?

hollow dock

Oh yea that was a quest wasn't it

meager warren
#

no

rich apex
#

wat

olive mirage
#

you help sentient raptors build a rocket, and launch it to the moon

rich apex
#

w a t

meager warren
#

are they raptor people?

#

or just raptors

hollow dock
#

I dont remember where. But you help out hyper intelligent raptors make a rocket to the moon

#

no theyre normal raptors that are just hyper intelligent

meager warren
#

lame

olive mirage
#

its in Azshara

hollow dock
#

I'd think so

olive mirage
#

oh it seems so

meager warren
#

Azshara is probably mostly Horde focused because it centers on goblins and trolls (Both of which has neutral members, ik but eh)

hollow dock
#

that's Vash'jir tho

#

not Azshara

meager warren
#

tfw

hollow dock
#

yea it is.

#

An expac of Orcs and Humans as the cover gives us more orcs and more humans?

olive mirage
#

but what if, draenor orcs go to the alliance, and kul tiras humans go to horde rooW

hollow dock
#

blasphemy

meager warren
#

if the Kul'Tirans are alliance counterpart to Dorcs, how is the Alliance getting Dorcs?

hollow dock
#

Kul'tirans go horde

#

that's how

meager warren
#

wat

hollow dock
#

[7:08 PM] SirSlayerDude: but what if, draenor orcs go to the alliance, and kul tiras humans go to horde :rooW:

sage tapir
#

kul tiras is one of the greatest human kingdoms

meager warren
#

nooo, keep humans out of the Horde.
Filthy hoomans

hollow dock
#

keep ur filthy orcs out of our already filthy alliance

sage tapir
#

them going horde would be the same as draenor orcs going alliance

#

pissing on the very idea of warcraft

meager warren
#

hey, the Mag'har aren't filthy.
They're just... complicated

hollow dock
#

I dont see how.

#

theyre at war

#

its still orcs vs humans

#

what exactly is being pissed on?

tropic trail
#

draenor orcs aren't going alliance, but saurfang might

meager warren
#

Saurfang in Stormwind would be trippy af

sage tapir
#

I was talking about the faction switching

#

of new allied races

hollow dock

How again?
