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
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
that's why you make sethrak playable
they're scaly snakes,with 2 legs
problem solved
dont step on snek
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
I can see that being problematic territory-wise xD
not even 1
Vulpera and Zandalari join horde
Devoted are good Alliance canidates, yes.
well the faithless sethrak,have a big empire themselves
Especially when their loa is revived.
and are allied with the sand trolla
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
jakra'zet
Once Sethraliss is reborn she's a major boon to the Devoted.
Which is why the Faithless don't want her back
@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
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
zandalari trolls
could get different skin options
like the mag'har
to indicate different tribes
but idk
but arent zandalari trolls a "tribe" themselves?
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
if they gave skin options for other trolls tribes then the race wouldnt be called zandalari trolls
and it wouldn't work as the other troll tribes are drastically different in appearance
old vs new
portraits
for sneks
technically it is a major change,as they used the old portrait for the entirety of alpha
getting the new one just before beta
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
😛
Grrrr
Rawr~
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...
you mean mobs having 13k
was less than you at lvl 1 with looms?
i forgot about that
Something like that, hyperbole anyway but it’s gonna be rip in bfa anyway 😛
is it me or is beta offline?
jus you
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
dank
i somehow managed to glitch under the Uldir pyramid in nazmir
and look who i found under it
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
to give you some perspective,his belt buckle is bigger than a male tauren @ruby star
Oh wow
"nothing is ever easy,You ask for a fleet,you get a city siege." -Nathanos 2k18
seems legit
@ruby star I assume y ou made that petition? Someone in my guild linked it, I signed
what petition?
What petition
@uncut vault i didn't make it, but that's great you signed it ❤
or void elves
petitions in wow are pointless
if you want to be alliance
@meager warren Do I really have to explain again 😛
they banned them for a reason
yes u do
they dont care about what you think you want
^
This is just sad
^^^
^
blizzard said no several times
Thank you for you input 😄 I don't give one fuck
It doesn't affect you so
wow great response to constructive criticism innit
i mean
it does actually
i play wow
we play wow too
it literally would affect me
Well you said it's pointless so you don't need to worry
And it takes away from another unique race for the alliance
i think blizzard should actively show high elves converting to void elves en masse
Allied races are meant to be unique
yeah
-makes a petitioj for no helves-
high elves arent unique
high elves are fucking blood elves physically
allied race are not meant to be unique
They are unique
they dont even have different skin colors
ask sas if you can link that, khamnin
But similar
they are not
yes they are
they are not unique races built up from the ground
they're not meant to be unique.
so again, what's the point
I mean. They may be similar, but they are unique
They are meant to be similar but different. high elves are not different

they are literally blood elves on the alliance
There are not grimtotem tauren on alliance for reason
^
I mean you can't stop us fighting for something we love
no
alliance yaungol when tho
tehy can but they won;t
but i can ask you to stop bringing it up in the beta spoilers chat every single day
its getting obnoxius
Sethrak when tho
you are preachiong to a brick wall
they can;t ban us for making a change.org
it doesnt add to the conversation in any way
sethrak and yaungol for alliance
making a change.org petition for bliz is gonna do fuck all
im not talking about the forums drorith
it breaks noCoS
theres nothing wrong with the discord
youve brought up the high elf discussion like 7 times
it;s acommunity
Making a petition to add something to wow is the most idiotic thing i ever saw, just because the devs said no
its fucking annoying
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
it adds nothing to the discussion
<@&299347348847329281>
wait the WoWhead discord or high elf?
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!
so you are just yelling your opinion into a void
can we please discuss the merits of yaungol and sethrak in the alliance instead of perpetuating this high elf talk.
we arent attacking
im asking you to stop bringing up the same discussion over and over
you clearly are
i'm calling the mods because we're not talking in #no-wow-discussion
Oh gee
because it adds nothing
Honker, that would be neat
you never asked me too
i just did
honk tagged me here
right up there
so I replied
when i started this
wat
i havent been online in hours
the otehr guy
"but i can ask you to stop bringing it up in the beta spoilers chat every single day
its getting obnoxius"
everyone, let's move to #no-wow-discussion
Okay, okay.
thulm please help
@uncut vault tagged me here
please
Take this to DM’s
we need to discuss the much needed sethrak and yaungol for the alliance 
why should the horde get all the cows
Idk about yaungol
#teamplsmakesethrakplayable
i dont think theyll ever happen
Hord eshould have a unified tauren emlire
Because that’s how it works @terse patrol
they probably wont
but taunka will probably happen eventually
But a man can dream
like seriously,you're taking away a "unique and interesting" allied race spot for something like sethrak
just so that you can have
But seriously, if you have issues with each other, take it to DM’s.
Try to be civil to eachother here.
do you even hear yourself
Thulm, clearly the high elf discussion is never going away
ban?
can we just have a separate channel for it?
Wait I don't deserve a ban
sethrak would be sicc tho
god no
I agree with dafire
I think Sethrak would be neat and id play the heck out of them
its not ban worthy in any way
it should be #stupidity or #cancer
or #highelves
i like #cancer more
#alliedracediscussion
I’d play a female sethrak rogue maybe
And probably transmog to no helmet like with the other beast races
I agree a sepereate channel area might be good peach a
an allied race channel would actually be really great tbh
A rouge sethrak seems fitting
Alright, if we can’t act like adults then I think mutes are incoming.
Agreed
it's annoying to have the same argument crop up here started by the same person every day so a quarantine would be nice
Sethrak rogues make their own poison 
Thulm, whats your opinion on an allied race discussion channel?
I think this channel suits that topic just fine.
^^
Sethrak rogues spit on you instead of coating their blades in poison
this is for bfa_beta tho
Dang spitting cobras
what about after beta though? wont it just spill over into ptr chat, even if there is nothing on ptr related to allied races?
sethrak do need a poison attack racial tbh
I get that it’s for BFA Beta, but it still applies.
A damage over time
Having an entire channel dedicated to such a small aspect of discussion isn’t really warranted.
@terse patrol they do that already as NPCS in the beta
ok
can we have a #stupidity channel tho
shakes head in disappointment
wat
I'd assume this channel doubles as a spoiler/future content channel
ok
What other racials would Sethrak get
probably a teleport racial related to those lightning stone things
it's implied they use those as means of travel
they can make those lightning rods that allow them to move quickly between two locations
Shed skin? Able to remove poisons/debuffs
Some sort of mobility thing, ye.
Yeah
Or at least makes them less effective.
Immunity to poison would be maybe a bit OP
I think @strange falcon wants to explain thisbreally cool mission involving Nathanos, ya? :)
no
I totally forgot DID had that
1% extra stat thing?
Come on
thats pretty common for a lot of the allied races
Is the mission even as neat as your trying to say?
yes
well you ride a giant armored dinosaur along with talanji and 3 other ppl,
destroying tons of enemies
so yea
would probably get something along the lines of damage over time effects lasting x% less
imo vulpera would get that
Is it during the final scenario?
since they're small
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 silence
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
We will lynch Ion if Sethrak and Vulpera aren’t. 
Oh I dont know if this is a dumb question or not but are worgen/goblins receiving an update that we know of?

they said they are working on it
yes they're just taking their sweetass time with it
^
The females need the most work.
And I hope they make goblin girls look less like crack addicts.
dude don't bring those up here
Okay! Wasnt sure, id be more likely to put more time into my female worgen if she didnt look so goofy
So are rheir old stub tails ingame at all?
@true matrix hence why I deleted the comment
it would be sad if we dont get worgen/goblin reworks before a third allied race pair
Id have to agree with you on that.
considering vulpera and sethrak use a heavily modified goblin/worgen skeleton
It is an expansion revolving around war
they use a modified skeleton
Id like to get as many races as we can lol
not model
very different
the skeleton for sethrakk isnt worgen. its a mish-mash of a few different ones

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
I’m going to get back to this birthday party now.
along with some unique ones
Ping me if you need me.
Have fun, Thulm
Quick lets throw a party before he comes back
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
PAnda!! Woot woot
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?
@tulip sun still watching 👹
tbh tho, would be cool having a loa worshipping race on the alliance side with the sethrak
Agreed
cough Night elves
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.
I feel like some would participate
Such as Rezan destroying the alliance fleet
Ir was that changed
Or*
we dont have the cinematic yet, so we dont know for sure
We have text
So ya
He sides with the zandalari
Loa fights against the alliance
I love thay
Tjay
That
Too bad hes dead o.O
I wonder if others would
He might come back
Other wild gods can
Once we destroy the twisted form in the dungeon ofc
pa'ku and gonk are both heavily sided with the zandalari
I mean against the alliance
theyll probably do that too, engrained in their culture, and they all follow the king of the zandalari
All loa that we meet and live fight to defend Zuldazar in the last scenario
In the case of rezan, that was talanji using her power
if sethrak go alliance,the only loa that could be pro-alliance would be sethraliss
Sethraliss isn’t confirmed as a loa is she?
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
Also, seems more likely that sethraliss would be neutral
Considering canonically horde free her in the dungeon
her only goal is protecting her children
also thats not confirmed as canonical, considering both sides have story leading up to all ten dungeons
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
True
But before you go back for more campaign at max level
they intentionally gave both factions set up, either through leveling or the war campaign, for the opposite factions leveling dungeons
and considering neither the war campaign or the zones have a canon order
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
huh, did not realize that
Yeah there is a canon order for the zones
but that lends even less to the "horde frees sethraliss" because both factions are there
zandalari absolutely doesnt have a canon order
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
sethraliss is freed in the dungeon my dude, and the alliance get there before any dungeon stuff happens
And why when we are at the sethrakk base, the alliance isn’t there
you cant enter the dungeon without the final crystal my dude
vorrik specifically asks for the aid of the alliance in finding out whats up with her in the temple
and the horde recovers final crystal
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
🤷 if you insist, but theyre very intentionally left open, both factions can do them and have specific set up story for a reason

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.
I like that kinda theory
"This faction war is dumb. I'm going to fight and die against enemies worth fighting."
Who would join his faction?
... you know either race wise or character name wise...
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
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
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

I mean, if this totally real dialogue from bfa is any indication, hes tooootally gonna finally be reasonable
It is lol
Oh good
I got a convenient name on the beta
been doing kul tiras and messing with folks
'hello fellow humans'
now im just waiting for the max level stuff with anduin to unlock for the real fun to begin
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
I've done two thirds of Kul'tiras too
And so far the worst the Horde did was mine some azerite
Im happy theyre writing the perspectives properly
well, and bomb a village with no military
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
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
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
The Kul'tiran quest giver goes 'the only good orc is a dead orc'??? That's racist af..
Kul'tirans are kind of dicks
And, like Daelin, completely missed the whole 'orcs where 1/3 responsible for saving the world'
A play on Saurfang's old joint faction, the Might of Kalimdor

There will surely be an anti-N'zoth faction, yes
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
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
Im glad that hes less at his 7.3.5 state of mind and more a mix of his vanilla and 7.0 personalities
But you do it anyways
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"
Now I feel baited
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
Id wager it would be
since its likely if it were to happen, it would be an xpac ending implemented in an after patch
if we do get a new faction, i think the ending of BfA would be the perfect time to do it
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
I hate to guess a spoiler, but sithilus may be the location of the reveal.
what makes you say that?
There was that once per server event that happened back in the day it took place in sithilus I believe
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
Lord of the rings reference?
Yes
i wouldn't have caught that if you hadn't said Gandalf
topkek
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)
so yes?
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
you can though.
by joining horde
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
N'zoth is 100% bursting out of the ground by 8.1 or 8.2
then they can just add normal skin tones to void elves and blue eyes to blood elves and call it good
I remain skeptical of any other major changes 😛
please both sides of the high elf debacle
But I can dream of ending the elf discourse
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
playing a void elf in light-based faction 🤔
if someone chooses, they can lol
its basically the same as playing a void elf in the alliance, which is so highly light based
tru
but thats the magic of player choice
if you wanna be a special snowflake void elf you can
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
for the love of god let the zandas start at 110
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.
I highly doubt the allied race system is just for bfa
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
they're giving us a few more slots tho
o
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
I mean, they can, and probably will add new races in the future
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
I just doubt they will add them, at least in nearly as much quantity as in BfA, in the next xpac
they're not that quality-ey
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
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
Exactly
Which is far better than just 1 naga neutral race
Or uh
Horde naga and Alliance ethereals
I guess
imo, every neutral race they give us is 1 step closer to neutral faction
how do you know
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
ha
But changing the system of how new races are added
Is somewhat simpler than the faction system, which the entire game is structured around
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
Ya
They can easily add scroll
There are too many opportunities for them to just limit themselves
well from what ive been playing in the beta, alliance side seems to need a lot of polish
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
I have been, some of it has carried over from alpha
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
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
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
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
the one at the end needs a flight master
that run back to shatterstone is brutal
Drustvar seems to be the most polished tho
been out the longest
The expac after bfa gets announced blizzcon 2019?
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
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
assuming they stick to their 2019 schedule it will be
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
I've never watched GOT
the forsaken are pretty much a 3rd faction with how little they care for everyone else
i've never watched it either
Oh it's quite popular though
Daelen Proudmoore is literally Robert Baratheon.
Yeah
And uh. There’s some scribe guy or whatever who sounds exactly like Sam.
Sams like my favorite character
Robert is the fat king that dies right at the start right?
I don't see the connection to daelen
I think it's the same voice actor
Mark Addy
who was the actor who played Robert Baratheon in the show
grats
@frigid umbra I unno i just got home and notice in my mail i had it.Then i checked my launcher and there it was
i see
definitely not a new wave
email takes a few days, so you probably had access for a bit
damnit they need to flag my account for beta i spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars in the game most likely more than is pent into tcgs
lol no
god drustvar is annoying in the crimson forest at the moment
cant pick up these quests as untargetable constructs are killing people lol
beta gonna bet
im not in beta but honest question how is monk looking in beta (windwalker) to be specific
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wtf Blizz, where is my beta invite? lol
it gets randomly sent out
new build tommorrow?
probably tuesday
yeah, hopefully! 😄 also Peach did you have any luck with getting beta?
im getting a key soon. theyre going to start next week
Nice! 😄 they said they'd give you one?
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
they are tho
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
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.
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
for sure, would still be awesome to run around and explore tho, if I did get a key I would definitely use it.
I'd wany beta to give feedback and test for bugs and test all the features
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
Yeah
Is every feature available on beta such as warfronts?
Or are warfronts disabled
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
The Warfront test was kiiiinda messy
and the last two dungeons
But they've still got 4 months to go
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?
it should be in spell-book if it hasn't been removed
Really?
Last I heard it was removed. I remember people complaining about it.
not removed, changed to spend rage on a flat 60% damage reduction
^
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.
"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
Every fish you fish up has a chance to be burnt, just like Nomi's food
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
According to the guild I’m in the angler will be unaffected by the retirement of other artifacts

why do you say that, port?
cause im still waiting for all the unused wrath and cata tiers
o
good wowhead article
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
omegaLUL
i still don't see why the alliance players who want high elves can't just play blood elves
because if they play blood elves they don't get the amazing blue eyes
why do blue eyes matter
they're too righteous and uptight for green eyed elves
they're exactly the same
tell that to the high elf fanatics
amen
"Want high elves? The Horde is there waiting for you"

Remember, Allied Races are lazy designing
Unless it involves changing the eye color of blood elves
and?
boom, new allied race material right there
it's not BLUE!!!!
scarcely
/s
So if a high elf paladin gets gold eyes from the Light, can he go back to Silvermoon 🤔
eww
they already changed the color of the prime race
that's a problem right there
they're not putting any effort into an allied race because what's the point
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 
omegaLUL
allied races are just cheap reskins
we need a cheap reskin blood elf
Highmountain Tauren and Zandalari Trolls and Lightforged are a little more than just cheap reskins
proving the point that they're all a bunch of deluded idiots
they are the definition of reskin
lol nah
take a tauren, add bigger antlers
And that's why we're getting 8 Allied Races
boom highmountain
the fact they have bigger antlers is my point
take a draeni, give it a glowy forehead and golden eyes, boom lightforged
and the regular tauren don't even have antlers
implying that a blood elf with blue eyes isn't the definition of reskin omegaLUL
^
the only difference between tauren and highmountain tauren is the horns... they look exactly the same
still more difference than switched eye colours
so if highmountain tauren and lightforged are that bad, what are you complaining about high elves for
Like I'm all for a high elf Allied Race that has proper work, new hairstyles, tattoos
But that shit doesn't happen overnight
^
And they won't change the dev schedule for Allied Races because of a forum petition
That too
i just find the forum whiners hilarious
if you couldn't care less, what are you even doing here?
Its not just the visuals
They'll probably-definitely put high elves in 9.0
its the lore behind the visuals
laughing at the people whining they cant play a blood elf with blue eyes 
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
yes they do
but the thing is
high elves aqre no different aesthetically from blood elves
and there's RP
Mod note: This is now the officially designated High Elf discussion thread. Please keep all discussion regarding this race in here.
But also there isn't a clear example of ...
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
how to play high elf, choose blood elf, and call yourself a high elf, boom done 
which is why they're never going to be an allied race
exactly
they're not about to make a whole new model because 500 people signed some obscure petition and complained on forums
^
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
gonna need their entire active player base to scream on the forums before they even think about it
they wouldnt have to make a new model, just throw a different skin on the blood elf skeleton
They'll probably be an Allied Race in 9.0
even respect the opinion
But even a reskin isn't made overnight
Ion doesn't care.
he just doesn't want to waste time
ion isn't some kind of omnipotent authority
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
doesnt even know what they are
He's just biased against high elves
High elves smell bad anyway.

@uncut vault GOD that customisation concept is ugly as hell
I mean a vast majority of the playerbase didnt care about kul tiras, or dark iron dwarves, or void elves (literally nobody did because they didnt exist)
that looks like the goblin king from the labyrinth
Elf Cyberpunk Gone Wrong
"I'll just put random lines all over my face so the cameras don't recognise it"
doesnt mean it isnt different. I personally dont like a lot of the choices theyre doing for zandalari visuals in BfA, doesnt mean theyre not unique from the normal trolls
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
yknow, you really should go back to your old name, fit better
Not hard to understand, just ignorant of the facts presented 🤷
nah it's just what people do when they run out of arguments to make
had this debate too many times, not really worth it at this point
aha
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
biggest difference between kul tirans and normal humans pre-BfA was nothing at all
its almost like blizz can insert aesthetics that exist in a group to make them unique
something thats been proposed many times over, and ignored by people who dont want high elves a lot
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
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
People asked Blizz why, Ion gave an answer
They could have just as easily ignored it and saved themselves the trouble
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
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
theres also the matter of 0 blue eyed belfs in game, which so many people base their logic off of
wat
"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
and?
And its another point of why people are mad, ion's points dont make sense
like I said, old name fit better
possible tol'dagor achievement?
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.
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).
would undead druids be possible?
High Elves are Highborne who left Kalimdor to settle a new land away from the Night Elves, and changed physically.
No.
A druid’s biology changes during transformation.
A corpse has no living body to change.
sure it does
Plus, it doesn’t fit them culturally at all.
you underestimate the power of rot
give them sick undead forms
that would fit their culture
in lore, all undead priests are shadow, and undead paladins dont exist
since the light causes them physical pain
isnt he disc?
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.
there's characters like zeliek too, right?
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.
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)
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.
lightforged forsaken: literally just a pile of ash
XD
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.
though I would die of laughter if they just added blue eyes for blood elves.
Same
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
Or piss off Hordies because there's still pansy elves in the Horde...
