strange falcon
#

they got new portraits,and new quests in zuldazar regarding sethrak,and the main sethrak hub flight master has been moved downstairs

tulip sun
#

I main a panda ;P

#

They just need to make some things a little different

#

Have their tail coil around the said mounts?

#

Don't know how hard that'd be

steel venture
tulip sun
#

If we do get naga

#

I will be royally pissed if they can transform to have two legs

#

What fun is that?

#

They are just night elves then

strange falcon
#

that's why you make sethrak playable

#

they're scaly snakes,with 2 legs

#

problem solved

tulip sun
#

I wouldn't mind that

#

But...

#

What faction? How would this work o.O

near cosmos
#

dont step on snek

tulip sun
#

Obviously Alliance if Vulpera go Horde

#

But...

#

Eh

strange falcon
#

also

#

since the sethrak are getting killed by forsaken in nazmir,and zandalar by horde,and enslave vulpera

#

the "good snakes " would rather go alliance

#

also in the alliance part of voldun(war campaigns foothold) the alliance interact with only snakes

#

no vulpera at all

tulip sun
#

I can see that being problematic territory-wise xD

strange falcon
#

not even 1

tulip sun
#

Vulpera and Zandalari join horde

steel venture
#

Devoted are good Alliance canidates, yes.

tulip sun
#

Then these sneks join Alliance

#

PURGE THEM FROM ZANDALAR

steel venture
#

They're also masters of Vol'dun.

#

So it'd be difficult to boot em out.

strange falcon
#

well the faithless sethrak,have a big empire themselves

steel venture
#

Especially when their loa is revived.

strange falcon
#

and are allied with the sand trolla

tulip sun
#

Devotes are not large themselves

#

I love the sand troll leader model

#

Is it bad I would play one?

#

I hope Zandalari joining horde leads into other troll tribes

strange falcon
#

jakra'zet

steel venture
#

Once Sethraliss is reborn she's a major boon to the Devoted.

#

Which is why the Faithless don't want her back

strange falcon
#

@steel venture technically sethraliss is already reborn when you complete the temple of sethraliss dungeon at the end of voldun

#

and you kill mythrax the unraveler as the first boss in uldir

tulip sun
#

Dafire, you think it is possible for other troll tribes to follow Zandalar's lead?

#

Obviously not the major ones

#

Well, it is unlikely

#

But Revantusk are already in the Horde

#

what of some of the smaller frost troll tribes

#

or a sand troll tribe

#

etc

strange falcon
#

zandalari trolls

#

could get different skin options

#

like the mag'har

#

to indicate different tribes

#

but idk

sudden oak
#

but arent zandalari trolls a "tribe" themselves?

tulip sun
#

No, Zandalari are a distinct type xD

#

Forest trolls are more muscular and have a hunch

#

Frost Trolls....I forget

#

Sand Trolls seem skinnier

#

It wouldn't work

sudden oak
#

if they gave skin options for other trolls tribes then the race wouldnt be called zandalari trolls

tulip sun
#

and it wouldn't work as the other troll tribes are drastically different in appearance

tulip sun
#

Is there a major difference? o.O

#

I do not know the like...

#

Importance I guess

strange falcon
#

technically it is a major change,as they used the old portrait for the entirety of alpha

#

getting the new one just before beta

near cosmos
#

its gonna be so weird to do FA damage compared to live

#

lv113 mobs have less HP than you do at lv1 with looms pre-7.3.5

#

😛

tulip sun
#

Grrrr

near cosmos
#

Rawr~

tulip sun
#

I wonder who will form up the new zanchuli council

#

After we murder 90% of them

#

There are only 2 in-game that are alive after the main story

#

2 others are in the files but not added...

strange falcon
#

you mean mobs having 13k

#

was less than you at lvl 1 with looms?

#

i forgot about that

near cosmos
#

Something like that, hyperbole anyway but it’s gonna be rip in bfa anyway 😛

tropic trail
#

is it me or is beta offline?

strange falcon
#

jus you

tropic trail
#

hm darn

"4/27 - In the next major build, three different Islands will be available per week on a rotation, drawing from the following pool:

  • Un'gol Ruins
  • Molten Cay
  • Verdant Wilds
  • Dread Chain
  • Whispering Reef
  • Skittering Hollow
  • Rotting Mire"
#

this means we will likely see a new build on monday or tuesday

terse patrol
#

dank

strange falcon
#

i somehow managed to glitch under the Uldir pyramid in nazmir

#

and look who i found under it

uncut vault
#

yeah hes party of the finale in nazmir

#

rises up from the temple

strange falcon
#

actually,he's always on top of the temple

#

uninterruptedly

#

for all of nazmir

#

THEN at the end,he breaks through the "lid" of the pyramid

#

and jumps down

dense plover
#

yeah

#

thats not whats supposed to happen

#

it isnt finished yet

ruby star
#

wow

#

he is massive

strange falcon
#

to give you some perspective,his belt buckle is bigger than a male tauren @ruby star

ruby star
#

Oh wow

strange falcon
#

"nothing is ever easy,You ask for a fleet,you get a city siege." -Nathanos 2k18

meager warren
#

seems legit

uncut vault
#

@ruby star I assume y ou made that petition? Someone in my guild linked it, I signed

meager warren
#

what petition?

tulip sun
#

What petition

ruby star
#

@uncut vault i didn't make it, but that's great you signed it ❤

strange falcon
#

the petition to make high elves playable is my assumption

#

seriously now

ruby star
#

it's an open letter/petition to Ion &Blizzard

#

about High Elves you are correct

meager warren
#

why do you want playable high elves?
What is even the point

#

just play belfs

strange falcon
#

or void elves

dense plover
#

petitions in wow are pointless

strange falcon
#

if you want to be alliance

ruby star
#

@meager warren Do I really have to explain again 😛

dense plover
#

they banned them for a reason

meager warren
#

yes u do

dense plover
#

they dont care about what you think you want

meager warren
#

^

tulip sun
#

This is just sad

dense plover
#

^^^

meager warren
#

^

dense plover
#

blizzard said no several times

ruby star
#

Thank you for you input 😄 I don't give one fuck

dense plover
#

yeah

#

blizzard doesnt either

ruby star
#

It doesn't affect you so

meager warren
#

wow great response to constructive criticism innit

dense plover
#

i mean

meager warren
#

it does actually

dense plover
#

i play wow

meager warren
#

we play wow too

dense plover
#

it literally would affect me

ruby star
#

Well you said it's pointless so you don't need to worry

tulip sun
#

And it takes away from another unique race for the alliance

dense plover
#

i think blizzard should actively show high elves converting to void elves en masse

ruby star
#

Allied races are meant to be unique

dense plover
#

yeah

tulip sun
#

-makes a petitioj for no helves-

dense plover
#

high elves arent unique

ruby star
#

i mean

#

arn't

#

sorry

dense plover
#

high elves are fucking blood elves physically

ruby star
#

allied race are not meant to be unique

tulip sun
#

They are unique

dense plover
#

they dont even have different skin colors

meager warren
#

ask sas if you can link that, khamnin

tulip sun
#

But similar

ruby star
#

they are not

dense plover
#

yes they are

ruby star
#

they are not unique races built up from the ground

meager warren
#

they're not meant to be unique.
so again, what's the point

tulip sun
#

I mean. They may be similar, but they are unique

dense plover
#

They are meant to be similar but different. high elves are not different

terse patrol
dense plover
#

they are literally blood elves on the alliance

tulip sun
#

There are not grimtotem tauren on alliance for reason

dense plover
#

^

ruby star
#

I mean you can't stop us fighting for something we love

dense plover
#

no

terse patrol
#

alliance yaungol when tho

meager warren
#

no but bliz can

#

by banning you khadgarface

ruby star
#

tehy can but they won;t

dense plover
#

but i can ask you to stop bringing it up in the beta spoilers chat every single day

#

its getting obnoxius

scarlet frost
#

Sethrak when tho

dense plover
#

you are preachiong to a brick wall

ruby star
dense plover
#

it doesnt add to the conversation in any way

terse patrol
#

sethrak and yaungol for alliance

ruby star
#

it's not been linked to the forums

#

so

meager warren
#

making a change.org petition for bliz is gonna do fuck all

dense plover
#

im not talking about the forums drorith

ruby star
#

it breaks noCoS

dense plover
#

im talking about this discord

#

its ridiculous

ruby star
#

theres nothing wrong with the discord

dense plover
#

youve brought up the high elf discussion like 7 times

ruby star
#

it;s acommunity

tulip sun
#

Making a petition to add something to wow is the most idiotic thing i ever saw, just because the devs said no

dense plover
#

its fucking annoying

strange falcon
#

if you Helf supporters keep whining,it's only going to end one of two ways,either they actually say "fuck it" and give you high elves in a couple years,which is unlikely,or they get so fed up of your whining,that they pull some plot reason,to kill every single high elf in existence,including vereesa so you can finally shut up

dense plover
#

it adds nothing to the discussion

meager warren
#

<@&299347348847329281>

ruby star
#

wait the WoWhead discord or high elf?

dense plover
#

because you dont have any new points to make

#

and no ones mind is being changed

true matrix
#

you bring it up on an almost daily basis and you don't care what other people have to say unless they agree with you! there's no point in bringing it up if you don't actually want to listen to other people!

ruby star
#

Getting a mod on me? you are the ones attacking me

#

jeez

dense plover
#

so you are just yelling your opinion into a void

terse patrol
#

can we please discuss the merits of yaungol and sethrak in the alliance instead of perpetuating this high elf talk.

dense plover
#

we arent attacking

#

im asking you to stop bringing up the same discussion over and over

ruby star
#

you clearly are

meager warren
jovial coral
#

Oh gee

dense plover
#

because it adds nothing

tulip sun
#

Honker, that would be neat

ruby star
#

you never asked me too

dense plover
#

i just did

ruby star
#

honk tagged me here

dense plover
#

right up there

ruby star

so I replied

dense plover

when i started this

not honk

Okay, okay.

dense plover
#

thulm please help

ruby star
#

@uncut vault tagged me here

terse patrol
#

please

west relic
#

Take this to DM’s

terse patrol
#

we need to discuss the much needed sethrak and yaungol for the alliance woke

#

why should the horde get all the cows

tulip sun
#

Idk about yaungol

scarlet frost
#

#teamplsmakesethrakplayable

dense plover
#

i dont think theyll ever happen

tulip sun
#

Hord eshould have a unified tauren emlire

west relic
#

Because that’s how it works @terse patrol

terse patrol
#

they probably wont

dense plover
#

but taunka will probably happen eventually

terse patrol
#

But a man can dream

strange falcon
#

like seriously,you're taking away a "unique and interesting" allied race spot for something like sethrak

#

just so that you can have

west relic
#

But seriously, if you have issues with each other, take it to DM’s.

strange falcon
#

a copypasta of both belfs and void elves

#

with different eyes

west relic
#

Try to be civil to eachother here.

strange falcon
#

do you even hear yourself

dense plover
#

Thulm, clearly the high elf discussion is never going away

meager warren
#

ban?

dense plover
#

can we just have a separate channel for it?

ruby star
#

Wait I don't deserve a ban

terse patrol
#

sethrak would be sicc tho

dense plover
#

god no

tulip sun
#

I agree with dafire

scarlet frost
#

I think Sethrak would be neat and id play the heck out of them

dense plover
#

its not ban worthy in any way

meager warren
#

it should be #stupidity or #cancer

dense plover
#

or #highelves

meager warren
#

i like #cancer more

dense plover
#

#alliedracediscussion

terse patrol
#

I’d play a female sethrak rogue maybe

scarlet frost
#

And probably transmog to no helmet like with the other beast races

ruby star
#

I agree a sepereate channel area might be good peach a

dense plover
#

an allied race channel would actually be really great tbh

scarlet frost
#

A rouge sethrak seems fitting

west relic
#

Alright, if we can’t act like adults then I think mutes are incoming.

scarlet frost
#

Agreed

true matrix
#

it's annoying to have the same argument crop up here started by the same person every day so a quarantine would be nice

terse patrol
#

Sethrak rogues make their own poison woke

dense plover
#

Thulm, whats your opinion on an allied race discussion channel?

west relic
#

I think this channel suits that topic just fine.

tulip sun
#

^^

strange falcon
#

Sethrak rogues spit on you instead of coating their blades in poison

meager warren
#

this is for bfa_beta tho

terse patrol
#

Dang spitting cobras

dense plover
#

what about after beta though? wont it just spill over into ptr chat, even if there is nothing on ptr related to allied races?

terse patrol
#

sethrak do need a poison attack racial tbh

west relic
#

I get that it’s for BFA Beta, but it still applies.

terse patrol
#

A damage over time

west relic
#

Having an entire channel dedicated to such a small aspect of discussion isn’t really warranted.

strange falcon
#

@terse patrol they do that already as NPCS in the beta

dense plover
#

ok

meager warren
#

can we have a #stupidity channel tho

dense plover
#

shakes head in disappointment

meager warren
#

wat

uncut vault
#

I'd assume this channel doubles as a spoiler/future content channel

west relic
#

It does.

#

@meager warren cut it out

meager warren
#

ok

terse patrol
#

What other racials would Sethrak get

dense plover
#

probably a teleport racial related to those lightning stone things

strange falcon
#

it's implied they use those as means of travel

dense plover
#

they can make those lightning rods that allow them to move quickly between two locations

scarlet frost
#

Shed skin? Able to remove poisons/debuffs

terse patrol
#

Some sort of mobility thing, ye.

dense plover
#

poisons/debuffs is already DID

#

that would be lame

terse patrol
#

Yeah

scarlet frost
#

Or at least makes them less effective.

terse patrol
#

Immunity to poison would be maybe a bit OP

tulip sun
#

I think @strange falcon wants to explain thisbreally cool mission involving Nathanos, ya? :)

strange falcon
#

no

scarlet frost
#

I totally forgot DID had that

dense plover
#

1% extra stat thing?

tulip sun
#

Come on

dense plover
#

thats pretty common for a lot of the allied races

tulip sun
#

Is the mission even as neat as your trying to say?

meager warren
#

yes

strange falcon
#

well you ride a giant armored dinosaur along with talanji and 3 other ppl,

#

destroying tons of enemies

#

so yea

uncut vault
#

would probably get something along the lines of damage over time effects lasting x% less

terse patrol
#

1% to critical attacks maybe kdk

#

Idk

strange falcon
#

imo vulpera would get that

tulip sun
#

Is it during the final scenario?

strange falcon
#

since they're small

scarlet frost
#

I hope Nightborne models get edited a little bit. The female stance id awkward and they look fairly different than the nightborne npcs :u

west relic
#

Last I checked, Vulpera isn’t a confirmed race yet.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

terse patrol
#

@west relic silence

strange falcon
#

just because they arent a confirmed race,doesnt mean we can specualate about them

#

since they have more work put into them

#

than 60% of the current

#

playable

#

r aces

terse patrol
#

We will lynch Ion if Sethrak and Vulpera aren’t. DoggoRee

scarlet frost
#

Oh I dont know if this is a dumb question or not but are worgen/goblins receiving an update that we know of?

west relic
strange falcon
#

they said they are working on it

true matrix
#

yes they're just taking their sweetass time with it

terse patrol
#

^

#

The females need the most work.

#

And I hope they make goblin girls look less like crack addicts.

true matrix
#

dude don't bring those up here

scarlet frost
#

Okay! Wasnt sure, id be more likely to put more time into my female worgen if she didnt look so goofy

tulip sun
#

So are rheir old stub tails ingame at all?

west relic
#

@true matrix hence why I deleted the comment

dense plover
#

it would be sad if we dont get worgen/goblin reworks before a third allied race pair

scarlet frost
#

Id have to agree with you on that.

strange falcon
#

considering vulpera and sethrak use a heavily modified goblin/worgen skeleton

tulip sun
#

It is an expansion revolving around war

dense plover
#

they use a modified skeleton

tulip sun
#

Id like to get as many races as we can lol

dense plover
#

not model

#

very different

#

the skeleton for sethrakk isnt worgen. its a mish-mash of a few different ones

terse patrol
dense plover
#

their new system allows combining animation sets on a skeleton to make new animation types, sort of

#

its very strange

#

its why the zandalari have a mix of night elf and troll animations

west relic
#

I’m going to get back to this birthday party now.

dense plover
#

along with some unique ones

west relic
#

Ping me if you need me.

dense plover
#

bai

#

o/

tranquil steeple
#

Have fun, Thulm

tulip sun
#

Quick lets throw a party before he comes back

uncut vault
#

sethrak skeleton is a worgen female skeleton. It just has the same tech as all other races where they can use the other race anims

#

has a base worgen skeleton but uses various pandaren and draenei things

tulip sun
#

PAnda!! Woot woot

jovial coral
#

So I heard once upon a time there was a massive world event called The gates of Ahn'Qiraj. It only happened once. Do you think something like that will happen in Sithilus again? Saurfang said, "nothing good has ever came out of sithilus". Am I reading too much into it?

uncut vault
#

I think it was more a reference to him being a part of it

#

and the zone sucking

west relic
#

@tulip sun still watching 👹

terse patrol
#

tbh tho, would be cool having a loa worshipping race on the alliance side with the sethrak

jovial coral
#

Agreed

jade basalt
#

cough Night elves

jovial coral
#

Perhaps the loa can do what the pandarens failed to do which is put an end to the faction war people have grown tired of.

tulip sun
#

I feel like some would participate

#

Such as Rezan destroying the alliance fleet

#

Ir was that changed

#

Or*

uncut vault
#

we dont have the cinematic yet, so we dont know for sure

tulip sun
#

We have text

dense plover
#

Yes

#

He still does that

#

He is the loa of kings

tulip sun
#

So ya

dense plover
#

He sides with the zandalari

tulip sun
#

Loa fights against the alliance

#

I love thay

#

Tjay

#

That

#

Too bad hes dead o.O

#

I wonder if others would

dense plover
#

He might come back

#

Other wild gods can

#

Once we destroy the twisted form in the dungeon ofc

tulip sun
#

I can see ones such as Gonk aiding the zandalari in battle

#

Maybe

dense plover
#

Gonk and the pterradax one do

#

It happens in two different scenarios

uncut vault
#

pa'ku and gonk are both heavily sided with the zandalari

tulip sun
#

I mean against the alliance

dense plover
#

They side with the zandalari

#

Zandalari side with the horde

uncut vault
#

theyll probably do that too, engrained in their culture, and they all follow the king of the zandalari

tulip sun
#

All loa that we meet and live fight to defend Zuldazar in the last scenario

dense plover
#

In the case of rezan, that was talanji using her power

strange falcon
#

if sethrak go alliance,the only loa that could be pro-alliance would be sethraliss

dense plover
#

Sethraliss isn’t confirmed as a loa is she?

tulip sun
#

I can imagine the horror on the alliances faces

#

And ya she is i think

uncut vault
#

plus rezan is confirmed to not be dead A) because wild god, can come back and B) Talanji and some prelates can still use his power after his death

#

she is a loa

dense plover
#

Also, seems more likely that sethraliss would be neutral

#

Considering canonically horde free her in the dungeon

uncut vault
#

her only goal is protecting her children

#

also thats not confirmed as canonical, considering both sides have story leading up to all ten dungeons

dense plover
#

Yeah

#

But horde dungeons are leveling dungeons

#

So wouldn’t that be the canon ending?

#

Horde go there first

#

Pretty much right after the alliance has set up a base camp in the zone

tulip sun
#

True

dense plover
#

But before you go back for more campaign at max level

uncut vault
#

they intentionally gave both factions set up, either through leveling or the war campaign, for the opposite factions leveling dungeons

dense plover
#

Yeah

#

But there’s a time line

uncut vault
#

and considering neither the war campaign or the zones have a canon order

dense plover
#

Alliance go before horde

#

There is though

#

Alliance recover the first crystal in voldun

#

Horde recovers the third one

#

That’s why when we show up there are two

#

But when you play alliance there is only one

uncut vault
#

huh, did not realize that

dense plover
#

Yeah there is a canon order for the zones

uncut vault
#

but that lends even less to the "horde frees sethraliss" because both factions are there

#

zandalari absolutely doesnt have a canon order

dense plover
#

No, because alliance get access to the dungeon after the horde free sethraliss

#

We arrive after they form a basecamp

#

But they haven’t done other stuff

#

That’s why we go get the final crystal

uncut vault
#

sethraliss is freed in the dungeon my dude, and the alliance get there before any dungeon stuff happens

dense plover
#

And why when we are at the sethrakk base, the alliance isn’t there

strange falcon
#

you cant enter the dungeon without the final crystal my dude

uncut vault
#

vorrik specifically asks for the aid of the alliance in finding out whats up with her in the temple

strange falcon
#

and the horde recovers final crystal

dense plover
#

Dungeon unlocks for horse while leveling though

#

And considering the crystals are in canon order

#

And horde will have a zone ending quest to go there

#

While alliance won’t have a zone wrap up quest to go there

uncut vault
#

🤷 if you insist, but theyre very intentionally left open, both factions can do them and have specific set up story for a reason

terse patrol
#

Sethraliss is a loa. @dense plover

#

Snake loa.

dense plover
#

Yeah

#

I was told

#

It’s the lady sethrakk at the end of the dungeon

terse patrol
terse patrol
#

It is interesting how Saurfang is straight up leaving the Horde entirely.

#

Wonder what he'll do? Maybe make some faction to fight the Old Gods?

#

I mean

#

He did lead the joint effort to take down C'thun.

jovial coral
#

I like that kinda theory

terse patrol
#

"This faction war is dumb. I'm going to fight and die against enemies worth fighting."

jovial coral
#

Who would join his faction?

#

... you know either race wise or character name wise...

rich apex
#

Magni, Khadgar, and Saurfang will save the world

#

While we're busy dicking each other over

#

The big plot twist is there isn't a raid finale

#

Saurfang just solos N'zoth

uncut vault
#

would love to see the champions of azeroth be the "we need to focus on important shit" group

#

wrathion, magni, khadgar, saurfang, etc.

#

instead of just magni + player

rich apex
#

Wrathion: we need to focus on important shit

#

Also Wrathion: manipulates events to try and wipe out the alliance, but then the horde, but then the alliance and the horde

uncut vault
#

I mean, if this totally real dialogue from bfa is any indication, hes tooootally gonna finally be reasonable

rich apex
#

uh

#

I'm pretty sure that's just a PC that named themselves Wrathion

uncut vault
#

It is lol

rich apex
#

Oh good

uncut vault
#

I got a convenient name on the beta

rich apex
#

Just making sure that point was clear 😛

#

XD

uncut vault
#

been doing kul tiras and messing with folks

rich apex
#

'hello fellow humans'

uncut vault
#

now im just waiting for the max level stuff with anduin to unlock for the real fun to begin

rich apex
#

I've done two thirds of Zandalar and I'm still waiting for the bit where the Horde actually acts like the villains

#

Since everyone keeps crying about that

uncut vault
#

its only in the alliance questing

#

where they should be seen as villains

I've done two thirds of Kul'tiras too

#

And so far the worst the Horde did was mine some azerite

uncut vault
#

Im happy theyre writing the perspectives properly

rich apex
#

And the Kul'tiran quest giver goes 'the only good orc is a dead orc'

#

🤔

uncut vault
#

well, and bomb a village with no military

rich apex
#

Stormsong I haven't done much of yet 😛

#

But after Daelin

#

Well

#

Cycle of hatred baby

uncut vault
#

but I like that the horde are villains in kul tiras, or at least proper enemies, even if it turns out that wasnt sylvanas that ordered the attack

rich apex
#

There is that too

#

Still waiting for the N'zoth cultist infiltrator surprise

uncut vault
#

just like if you were a solely horde player, the ashvanes in voldun wouldnt look like enemies to both factions

#

theyd look like kul tirans enslaving vulpera

rich apex
#

Oh lawlz, I haven't even seen that yet

#

But yeah, if Blizz was supposedly completely changing the themes of the Horde to make them outright villains

#

Then they completely forgot to add that to the Zandalar quest lines

#

Because they're been pretty stock heroism and do gooding so far

jovial coral
#

The Kul'tiran quest giver goes 'the only good orc is a dead orc'??? That's racist af..

rich apex
#

Kul'tirans are kind of dicks

terse patrol
#

but ye. I suspect we're going to get a new faction

#

Called Might of Azeroth. 😛

rich apex
#

And, like Daelin, completely missed the whole 'orcs where 1/3 responsible for saving the world'

terse patrol
#

A play on Saurfang's old joint faction, the Might of Kalimdor

rich apex
#

Ha

#

I can appreciate that

terse patrol
rich apex
#

There will surely be an anti-N'zoth faction, yes

uncut vault
#

like even nathanos is heroic in zandalar

#

hes kinda annoyed that they have to go through all this shit to get the fleet but

#

he actually helps

rich apex
#

Yeah he's still an ass

#

But he sure ain't ordering you to ignore the various crises

#

It ain't like saving the vulpera is part of the war effort

uncut vault
#

Im glad that hes less at his 7.3.5 state of mind and more a mix of his vanilla and 7.0 personalities

rich apex
#

But you do it anyways

uncut vault
#

because with those he was the perfect mix of respectful and "I dont care"

#

7.3.5 its literally "oh you saved the universe? big woop my girlfriends got great dead tits"

rich apex
#

I mean

#

He's just jealous

#

He doesn't want his senpai to find a new champion

jovial coral
#

Now I feel baited

meager warren
#

good

#

also, Might of Azeroth as a new faction would be amazing

jovial coral
#

I'd be amazed if blizzard got new playable factions somehow.

#

I honestly wouldn't even want people to know about it till it happens just because the reveal would be epic

uncut vault
#

Id wager it would be

#

since its likely if it were to happen, it would be an xpac ending implemented in an after patch

meager warren
#

if we do get a new faction, i think the ending of BfA would be the perfect time to do it

uncut vault
#

I mean Im expecting them to either disband the factions and make them just based on your race and questing/pve/pvp can be with anyone, or start up light/void factions next xpac

jovial coral
#

I hate to guess a spoiler, but sithilus may be the location of the reveal.

meager warren
#

what makes you say that?

jovial coral
#

There was that once per server event that happened back in the day it took place in sithilus I believe

rich apex
#

I still can't see how they'd ever overhaul or change the player faction system

#

But ah

#

AQ

#

I was there

#

I was there, Gandalf

#

When the strength of the servers failed

meager warren
#

Lord of the rings reference?

rich apex
#

Yes

meager warren
#

i wouldn't have caught that if you hadn't said Gandalf

rich apex
#

Apparently some servers derped so hard

#

Boats went to the wrong zone

meager warren
#

topkek

tulip sun
#

Hmmm

#

Didnt swtor do something similar to different factions down the line?

rich apex
#

Kiiiinda but not really

#

The Plot has the PC become the leader of a neutral faction that's story-wise on the same level as the OG factions

#

And the new BG let you randomly team with opposite faction players

#

But for the most part the other faction barriers still exist with groups, guilds, and faction planets

#

(Tho SWTOR never had the language barrier)

meager warren
#

so yes?

rich apex
#

So kind of but not really, no

#

The faction system is still a thing until I can guild or group with an orc and waltz into Orgrimmar

meager warren
#

you can though.
by joining horde

uncut vault
#

I mean, IMO most likely scenario for BfA is halfway through we'll get the midway reveal ala Argus, where the focus of the story shifts from Faction war to Nzoth, and either in a 7.3.5 style patch or in the 9.0 prepatch, factions will dissolve as a definite "you have to be a part of this as x race" at max level

#

and then either lead into a united/factionless azeroth, or lead into a light/void faction system where you choose your faction regardless of race/class

rich apex
#

N'zoth is 100% bursting out of the ground by 8.1 or 8.2

uncut vault
#

then they can just add normal skin tones to void elves and blue eyes to blood elves and call it good

rich apex
#

I remain skeptical of any other major changes 😛

uncut vault
#

please both sides of the high elf debacle

rich apex
#

But I can dream of ending the elf discourse

uncut vault
#

I mean my hope is that allied races are a BfA specific thing

#

and alongside whatever the new class/race thing in 9.0 is, we get some base racial upgrades

#

have blood elves and high elves get each others hairstyles (minus the void ones), let blood elves have blue eyes alongside green and gold, maybe some actual skin tones, let void elves have a normal skin tones and more than two good hairstyles

#

repeat with other races

#

give gnomes/goblins mechanical upgrades

#

give more races tattoo options, the like

meager warren
#

playing a void elf in light-based faction 🤔

uncut vault
#

if someone chooses, they can lol

#

its basically the same as playing a void elf in the alliance, which is so highly light based

meager warren
#

tru

uncut vault
#

but thats the magic of player choice

#

if you wanna be a special snowflake void elf you can

meager warren
#

there's also undead priests which shouldn't exist if undead paladins can't

#

tbh, if they make light/ void based factions, i'm making a void elf in the light-based faction because i love chaos

#

and that'd be absolutely trippy

#

same thing

daring fern
#

for the love of god let the zandas start at 110

rich apex
#

Patch 7.1 notes: The superiority of the Zandalari allows them to start at 110. This will not be applied to other Allied Races, as they are not the glorious successors of the troll's mighty legacy.

tulip sun
#

I highly doubt the allied race system is just for bfa

uncut vault
#

with how fast theyre pumping out races we're gonna get all twelve slots on that list filled up real quick

#

counting the four we have confirmed coming, with the four existing ones, theres only four slots left on that list so unless theyre gonna do an allied races 2 button, which is possible

#

id wager theyll fill it up soon

meager warren
#

they're giving us a few more slots tho

uncut vault
#

I mean slots on the creation screen

#

these slots

meager warren
#

o

rich apex
#

I mean

#

They can just add a scroll to the bar

#

Or another column

#

ion: okay we're doing great with these allied races, what's next?

#

random dev: sorry boss, no can do, we've filled up the column

uncut vault
#

I mean, they can, and probably will add new races in the future

meager warren
#

some other idiot: oh, ik! we can find another way to make Sylvanas screw everything up for the horde and make the alliance do stuff that makes them seem too good to be true and say they're really evil

uncut vault
#

I just doubt they will add them, at least in nearly as much quantity as in BfA, in the next xpac

meager warren
#

they're not that quality-ey

rich apex
#

That's the point

#

And why we got 6

#

If not 8

#

Or do we have 8 confirmed

#

how do I math

#

Yeah we have 8

#

And that -might- bump up to 10

#

Instead of just 1 entirely new race

meager warren
#

Zandalari, Dark Iron Dwarf, Mag'har, Kul'tiran, nightborne, lightforged, velf, highmountain,

#

8 so far, maybe 9-10 for sethrak and vulpera but those aren't confirmed

rich apex
#

Exactly

#

Which is far better than just 1 naga neutral race

#

Or uh

#

Horde naga and Alliance ethereals

#

I guess

meager warren
#

imo, every neutral race they give us is 1 step closer to neutral faction

rich apex
#

(I do want ethereals, but still)

#

They'll never add a third faction

meager warren
#

how do you know

rich apex
#

Okay

#

There is a very, very large chance they will not

#

I say, admitting I have been wrong before, when I swore that Highmountain would never be a player race

meager warren
#

happy khadgarface ha

rich apex
#

But changing the system of how new races are added

#

Is somewhat simpler than the faction system, which the entire game is structured around

meager warren
#

they basically re-worked the entire game by adding universal scaling.
they can do it again with neutral factions. although it may be just a little harder

tulip sun
#

Ya

#

They can easily add scroll

#

There are too many opportunities for them to just limit themselves

slate ingot
#

well from what ive been playing in the beta, alliance side seems to need a lot of polish

olive mirage
#

lots of placeholders yes

#

thats why its still beta

slate ingot
#

Tiragarde sound is buggy with a quest in the wrong spot and in a wall when you find it

#

stormsong has a lot of terrain and texture issues with some phasing issues

olive mirage
#

need to report that shit

#

thats also why the beta is a thing

slate ingot
#

I have been, some of it has carried over from alpha

olive mirage
#

terrain glitches and slightly off NPC locations are prob lower on the priority list then fixing game breaking bugs and finishing the cinimatics and stuff

slate ingot
#

Like the vol'dun war campaign, theres 5 quests which are a mix of fetch and gather and you have missing flight masters

#

broken mail box at the inn at the main hub in vol'dun

rich apex
#

Welcome to beta

#

The first week of beta

slate ingot
#

no obviously labeled way to get back to Kul'tiras the boat drops you in the water about 40yds off shore if you take it back to vol'dun

#

and the inn keeper isn't even in the inn, shes stuck under a giant stone slab about 10 yards away

uncut vault
#

voldun war campaign just needs a few tweaks like proper to and from, and making the base at the end a proper base

#

aka beta stuff

slate ingot
#

the one at the end needs a flight master

#

that run back to shatterstone is brutal

#

Drustvar seems to be the most polished tho

uncut vault
#

been out the longest

jovial coral
#

The expac after bfa gets announced blizzcon 2019?

uncut vault
#

likely, since theyre keeping the same schedule as legion

#

prolly a slightly better schedule than legion because the final patch (assuming its a .3.2) will be a month or two before blizzcon instead of basically during

jovial coral
#

I'm wondering if the game of thrones will be airing or over with at that point, because there's been a theory bfa will lead to some scourge related business

uncut vault
#

assuming they stick to their 2019 schedule it will be

jovial coral
#

Blizzard can probably guess what their players watch through log offs and login times

#

But everybody watches GOT

#

A third faction can't happen if they have no demon hunters

meager warren
#

?

#

sure it can

balmy heart
#

I've never watched GOT

olive mirage
#

the forsaken are pretty much a 3rd faction with how little they care for everyone else

meager warren

i've never watched it either

Two characters in Kul Tiras are basically Game of Thrones characters

wtf Blizz, where is my beta invite? lol

meager warren
#

it gets randomly sent out

ruby star
#

new build tommorrow?

dense plover
#

probably tuesday

ruby star
#

yeah, hopefully! 😄 also Peach did you have any luck with getting beta?

dense plover
#

im getting a key soon. theyre going to start next week

ruby star
#

Nice! 😄 they said they'd give you one?

dense plover
#

MyMindWontQuiet came in here and asked if anyone wanted them. he said that blizzard would be giving them early this week, and that, as a mod of r/wow, he could give some to those that want them

#

then people here said that was wrong since the keys were meant for a giveaway

meager warren
#

they are tho

dense plover
#

even though the way blizz gives away keys is like - here are 20 keys, use 10 for the giveaway

#

they give keys to the people doing the giveaway to do as they please edgy

#

they expect a certain amount for the giveaway, and then they purposefully give extra

#

this way, no mod ever feels like keeping a key for their friend

#

instead they are just given one

#

im sure if you nicely msg MyMindWontQuiet, he might be able to get you a key, if not this week, then the next giveaway

ruby star
#

Ah nice ❤

#

Thanks for the info peach

tropic trail
#

I'm not sure if I even want a key at this point, most of the stuff has been added, and the expac is only a few months away, wouldn't want to burn myself out on it before it's even out.

dense plover
#

i plan to level up once in each set

#

thats it

#

maybe run a few dungeons

#

play around in zuldazar for way too much time

#

use it to inspire my composition

tropic trail
#

for sure, would still be awesome to run around and explore tho, if I did get a key I would definitely use it.

ruby star
#

I'd wany beta to give feedback and test for bugs and test all the features

dense plover
#

well still

#

as someone who played in the last two betas

#

be careful about burnout

#

dont put in too much time

#

and generally, dont level your main class

#

level a class youll never play

#

so that when you level your main, it feels like new

ruby star
#

Yeah

#

Is every feature available on beta such as warfronts?

#

Or are warfronts disabled

rich apex
#

Nope

#

Expeditions are up

#

No Warfronts

dense plover
#

warfronts had one test

#

and my guess is they had a lot of work they saw they needed

#

so theyre working on that

#

and then it will go live on beta

#

might happen in next build

#

along with more of the war campaign

rich apex
#

The Warfront test was kiiiinda messy

dense plover
#

and the last two dungeons

rich apex
#

But they've still got 4 months to go

tropic trail
#

sry guys, just started to try out the beta, where is ignore pain on the warrior or a good replacement spell for it atm? am i just blind or did they completly remove it and i only have shield block now?

meager warren

it should be in spell-book if it hasn't been removed

jovial coral
#

Really?

clever ember
#

Last I heard it was removed. I remember people complaining about it.

sage tapir
#

not removed, changed to spend rage on a flat 60% damage reduction

dense plover

#

all active mitigation in BfA was changed

#

it now is a flat percent

#

and if it had magic reduction, it now has much less

#

underlight angler, is it going to be just a legion thing with bfa? i want to farm it but it seems hard, i'm not going to do if it's going to be worthless after bfa. they remove the traits etc.

tropic trail
#

"the underlight angler has become unstable from absorbing the power from sargeras sword!" would be funny, having a fishingpole that could explode at any second from the power stored within

tranquil steeple
#

Every fish you fish up has a chance to be burnt, just like Nomi's food

dense plover
#

pretty sure the underlight angler is staying

#

its not getting more content, but since it doesnt matter for stats, i wouldnt be surprised if it remains unretired

#

that hinted at that

ashen roost

According to the guild I’m in the angler will be unaffected by the retirement of other artifacts

mortal zephyr

The beta changes are listed on WH for classes and talents

dense plover

yes, the ones that have been changed so far

some of the upcoming changes arent there because they are coming in the next major build

Surely this will be the straw that breaks the Ion camel's back

#

BFA delayed so they can make high elf allied race the priority

sage tapir
#

omegaLUL

meager warren
#

i still don't see why the alliance players who want high elves can't just play blood elves

sage tapir
#

because if they play blood elves they don't get the amazing blue eyes

meager warren
#

why do blue eyes matter

sage tapir
#

they're too righteous and uptight for green eyed elves

meager warren
#

they're exactly the same

sage tapir
#

green is evil

#

it's fucking ridiculous

meager warren

Mal'furion is green

is he evil?

the orcs are green. are they evil?

the high elf fanatics are fucking idiots

meager warren

"Want high elves? The Horde is there waiting for you"

rich apex
#

Remember, Allied Races are lazy designing

#

Unless it involves changing the eye color of blood elves

olive mirage
#

which they already did!

#

they gave them gold eyes in the beta

meager warren
#

and?

olive mirage
#

boom, new allied race material right there

sage tapir
#

it's not BLUE!!!!

meager warren

rich apex
#

So if a high elf paladin gets gold eyes from the Light, can he go back to Silvermoon 🤔

sage tapir
#

eww

meager warren
#

they already changed the color of the prime race

sage tapir
#

that's a problem right there

meager warren
#

they're not putting any effort into an allied race because what's the point

olive mirage
#

i mean, according to half the people on the forums, all the allied races are just reskins and should be customization options, but then they say high elves need to be an allied race and not a customization option vvDerp

sage tapir
#

omegaLUL

rich apex
#

allied races are just cheap reskins
we need a cheap reskin blood elf

meager warren
#

Highmountain Tauren and Zandalari Trolls and Lightforged are a little more than just cheap reskins

sage tapir
#

proving the point that they're all a bunch of deluded idiots

olive mirage
#

they are the definition of reskin

meager warren
#

lol nah

olive mirage
#

take a tauren, add bigger antlers

rich apex
#

And that's why we're getting 8 Allied Races

olive mirage
#

boom highmountain

rich apex
#

Instead of 1 neutral race

#

(if not 10 Allied Races, depending)

meager warren
#

the fact they have bigger antlers is my point

olive mirage
#

take a draeni, give it a glowy forehead and golden eyes, boom lightforged

meager warren
#

and the regular tauren don't even have antlers

sage tapir
#

implying that a blood elf with blue eyes isn't the definition of reskin omegaLUL

meager warren
#

^

olive mirage
#

the only difference between tauren and highmountain tauren is the horns... they look exactly the same

sage tapir
#

still more difference than switched eye colours

meager warren
#

so if highmountain tauren and lightforged are that bad, what are you complaining about high elves for

rich apex
#

Like I'm all for a high elf Allied Race that has proper work, new hairstyles, tattoos

#

But that shit doesn't happen overnight

meager warren

And they won't change the dev schedule for Allied Races because of a forum petition

if you couldn't care less, what are you even doing here?

its the lore behind the visuals

laughing at the people whining they cant play a blood elf with blue eyes LUL

uncut vault
#

despite what people (including ion) say, high elves do have a different story since WC3

#

the high elves a lot of people want have had a different backstory for around 3k years in fact

meager warren
#

yes they do

#

but the thing is

#

high elves aqre no different aesthetically from blood elves

#

and there's RP

uncut vault
meager warren

if you want to RP as a high elf, you're welcome to

#

I refer you to this, an aesthetic for high elves not shown in game

olive mirage

how to play high elf, choose blood elf, and call yourself a high elf, boom done rooSip

sage tapir
#

which is why they're never going to be an allied race

meager warren
#

exactly

sage tapir
#

they're not about to make a whole new model because 500 people signed some obscure petition and complained on forums

meager warren
#

^

uncut vault
#

I mean, the only real reason theyre not gonna be an allied race is cause ion doesnt want them. Id be fine with that if he were honest about it

meager warren
#

gonna need their entire active player base to scream on the forums before they even think about it

olive mirage
#

they wouldnt have to make a new model, just throw a different skin on the blood elf skeleton

rich apex
#

They'll probably be an Allied Race in 9.0

uncut vault
#

even respect the opinion

But even a reskin isn't made overnight

Ion doesn't care.
he just doesn't want to waste time

His personal hatred of high elves

uncut vault

I mean he cant hate them that much

Ion isn't Horde or Alliance biased

it's not because ion doesn't want them it's because the vast majority of the playerbase doesn't give a flying steaming fuck about high elves

meager warren

a vast majority of the player base didn't care about kul tiras because it was a vague thing that became irrelevant after classic.
but even after it became irellevant, it wouldn't have been a waste of time to bring it back. same for DID and Velfs.

DID are actually aesthetically different from Dwarves and Void Elves are aesthetically different from blood elves.
Aside from the eye-color, the same can't be said for high elves

Madness isnt wrong though, besides eye color, the largest difference between high elves and blood elves is that high elves are largely within the Alliance

ignorant of what facts

and what gymer said

biggest difference between kul tirans and normal humans pre-BfA was nothing at all

granted, it would be fairly easy to high elves as an allied race. They would just need to define a few different aesthetic features to the already existing Blood Elf models, i.e. eye colors, and give them a larger role within the Alliance.

#

theyve already got a bigger role in the alliance than half the existing races

#

i don't care if we get high elves or not.
i just don't see the point in getting them if the only things that would be different is eye-color and maybe a few tattoos.
the concept you showed above wasn't different aesthetics actually.
they slapped tattoos on blood elves and said they'd be high elves

#

It's not that Blizz can't do it ever

#

It's that they're not doing it in the immediate future

#

And apparently that's worth a forum riot

uncut vault
#

But unless you can show me a place where kul tirans were as big as they are now before BfA, the point of current aesthetics not being unique is moot.

#

the riot from the QnA isnt over the fact that it isnt happening now

#

It was obvious they werent happening now

#

but the reasoning of "high elves dont exist in the alliance" doesnt work

rich apex
#

People asked Blizz why, Ion gave an answer

#

They could have just as easily ignored it and saved themselves the trouble

uncut vault
#

Even as a high elf fan Id rather he done that

#

would have made it easier

meager warren
#

who said high elves don't exist in the alliance

#

and had he done that, you'd still be complaining

#

but you're complaining either way so eh

#

"there isn't a clear example of who or what High Elves are as a larger group which remains in Azeroth. "you're an Alliance player, and want to be a fair-skinned, light-haired, blue-eyed elf. Sorry? The Horde is there and waiting for you."

#

ion said it

#

like I said, I'd be fine if he just gave the reasoning of not wanting to put inthe resources of embellishing their aesthetic, or just not wanting them

#

the fuss is over his bad reasons, not the outcome we already knew

meager warren
#

well, i mean..
the high elves are an entire race or subrace, i guess.

#

to say they all belong to this or that group is just... wrong

uncut vault
#

theres also the matter of 0 blue eyed belfs in game, which so many people base their logic off of

meager warren
#

wat

uncut vault
#

"you're an Alliance player, and want to be a fair-skinned, light-haired, blue-eyed elf. Sorry? The Horde is there and waiting for you."

#

there are no blue eyed blood elves in the horde

meager warren
#

and?

uncut vault
#

And its another point of why people are mad, ion's points dont make sense

meager warren
#

they do tho

#

people want to play blood elves on alliance

#

but with blue eyes

uncut vault
#

like I said, old name fit better

meager warren
#

when they could just re-roll horde

#

very funny

slate ingot
tulip sun
#

Lets not forget it was stated belves would eventually regain their blue eyes

#

So adding high elves woyod ruin that future lore development

#

Would**

Ooo my... still on the high elfs nonsence?... its done, they are not making them. Plus high elfs are bloodelfs in lore after they are banished from kalimdor.

meager warren
#

they are not making them.
we've said that, AlexxCri

#

“after they are banished from kalimdor”

#

Gotta love people who don’t know their lore.

#

Here’s the progression.

#

Dark troll -> Night Elf/Highborne -> High Elves -> Culture Split (90% call themselves Blood Elves, 10% High Elves, basically).

meager warren
#

would undead druids be possible?

terse patrol
#

High Elves are Highborne who left Kalimdor to settle a new land away from the Night Elves, and changed physically.

#

No.

meager warren
#

:c

#

why not tho

#

there's undead paladins and priests

terse patrol
#

A druid’s biology changes during transformation.

#

A corpse has no living body to change.

meager warren
#

sure it does

terse patrol
#

Plus, it doesn’t fit them culturally at all.

meager warren
#

you underestimate the power of rot

#

give them sick undead forms

#

that would fit their culture

olive mirage
#

in lore, all undead priests are shadow, and undead paladins dont exist

#

since the light causes them physical pain

limber mural
#

isn't faol a disco though

#

if my memory's right, he's not a shadow

rich burrow
#

isnt he disc?

terse patrol
#

Alonsus Faol is a holy priest I think

#

Either way

#

Forsaken holy priests exist, but there are few of them, and most are probably independent or were in the Argent Crusade.

#

They accept the pain using holy magic gives them, because it reminds them that the state they are in isn’t natural, and shouldn’t be something they should revel in like Sylvanas’ Forsaken do.

#

My hope is Alonsus Faol gets to rejoin the Alliance, considering he protected Calia Menethil from the Scourge and from Sylvanas.

true matrix
#

there's characters like zeliek too, right?

terse patrol
#

yes

#

Tho, he wasn’t in control of himself

#

tbh, there’s no reason Forsaken Paladins can’t exist, but they’d really clash with Sylvanas’ Forsaken.

#

I think if Sylvanas ever got off of the “evil bitch” bandwagon, maybe the Forsaken could get paladins.

chilly abyss
#

Imagine if she was successful in imprisioning the valkyr in stormheim. forsaken could have had a situation like the blood elves where they force the light to serve them or whatever

#

the could still do something similar with forsaken if they wanted.

#

inb4 lightforged forsaken XD (jk)

frigid umbra
#

High elfs are blood elfs... the only dif is one serves the ally one serves horde. And the only known group of high elfs are the silver covanent... which cannot be called a race or people.. its just a group that did not want to accept the fate that they had and change from supporting the ally after the third war.

lol, wowhead put out a pro highelf article, this should be fun.

PLEASE. LET.IT.DIE. =_=

Enough with the god damn elves we got too many of them already

Yeah I mean blizz pretty much said whats to be said with that.

#

@tropic trail It wasn't for or against... just a summary of recent discussion as a result of the Q&A.

chilly abyss
#

though I would die of laughter if they just added blue eyes for blood elves.

#

oh i'd love if they did >;D

#

just to piss Alliance kiddies.

Same

tropic trail
#

or sorry, my Hordiness is showing too much here.

#

The fact that you refer to people that want high elves as "alliance kiddies" is so cringe

balmy heart

Or piss off Hordies because there's still pansy elves in the Horde...
