new Allied Races?

#

That'll cost a raid tier, clearly

mint arch
#

lul

hollow dock
#

I mean.

#

by that logic Dark

#

They weren't showing any indication of adding sanlayn as an allied race regardless of Dreven being alive or nt

#

not*

undone sphinx
#

iincoming xp explot for farming πŸ˜ƒ then in bfa

#

step 1 get 20 ppl on horde and 20 on allaince.

#

step 2 get naked

#

step 3 have 1 player stab 6 ppl so he gets assain status

#

step 4 have the opposing side kill him using 1 spell

#

step 5 azerite xp rep

#

step 6 repeate till max

#

step xxx laugh at silly pointless ness of wpvp

hollow dock
#

wpvp is always pointless

#

and be honest, if you thought of this exploit don't you think that blizzard has as well?

undone sphinx
#

oh i dint think of it

#

and tbh no i really dont think bliz have thought it though

hollow dock
#

well since you put it here with several blizz employees that pass over the chats

#

they do now. c:

undone sphinx
#

becasue this type of faction expolit takes place in FAR more complicated policed games with faction vs faction systems

#

bounty systems baicaly dont work

#

they tried it in eveonline and it was very very 1 exploitable 2 silly

wild pewter
#

Are there anymore of those Turalyon/Liadrin screenshots but with different leaders?

dense plover
#

good luck getting all those people to agree and then end up in the same shard

undone sphinx
#

raids are a thing

#

and with 40 ppl you could do it as a guild

dense plover
#

okay

#

and getting the opposite faction to agree?

undone sphinx
#

someone gets world first but everyone is lvl 120 at end of day with 100 azerite for 5 hours work πŸ˜ƒ

dense plover
#

100 azerite is literally nothing

undone sphinx
#

simple have ppl roll horde/allaince chariters

dense plover
#

yeah

undone sphinx
#

i think you missed step 6

dense plover
#

but how do you get the two groups on the same shard?

undone sphinx
#

well u tend to have ppl on same realm end up togther πŸ˜ƒ

dense plover
#

not when in raid groups

undone sphinx
#

party then

dense plover
#

also you dont get azerite until max level

undone sphinx
#

just 4 party groups πŸ˜ƒ

dense plover
#

parties dont either

undone sphinx
#

and it also tends to group playes of same guild togther

dense plover
#

sharding doesnt work that way

undone sphinx
#

for "immerison"

dense plover
#

on one faction

#

but you wont get both factions in the same place

#

the game specifically doesnt allow it

undone sphinx
#

do it out side of a city then

dense plover
#

you wont get 2 parties of each with the same purpose in the same shard

undone sphinx
#

which dose try to put you on same realm

#

for the "for the horde/allaince" achiments

dense plover
#

you wont get close enough

#

city npcs have their level increased

undone sphinx
#

plenty of places inside stormwind/orgimar where npcs dont attack you

dense plover
#

and the area outside cities doesnt try to shard you

#

only the actual city zone

#

lol, good luck getting there alive

#

also dont forget that after dying there is a dishonorable kill buff

#

im pretty sure it eventually starts to increase following many deaths

#

your method wont work

#

the amount of time it will take to do what you want will be slower than doing world quests and some wpvp as normal

undone sphinx
#

debuff is 2min isnt it?

dense plover
#

again, pretty sure it increases following consecutive deaths

#

and yeah

#

2 min per person

#

itll be slow af

undone sphinx
#

and how did the "wait 10min till you can ask the doomsayer again" ?

dense plover
#

again, world quests give several hundred azerite

#

doing wqs will be faster

undone sphinx
#

you never played rugby have u?

dense plover
#

what does that have to do with anything?

undone sphinx
#

cause then you would know something about stragagey and team games

dense plover
#

lol

strange falcon
#

are you seriously discussing doing that supposed "exploit" it's 99% going to be much more of a waste of time than an efficient way to level

dense plover
#

there are other team sports

#

and again

#

that doesnt change azerite being a faster source from wqs

undone sphinx
#

well if all 20ppl get azerite from killing 1 person every min

dense plover
#

same with actual quests

undone sphinx
#

yeah it kinda will πŸ˜ƒ

dense plover
#

they give way more than the pvp bonus

#

you dont get azerite per person

undone sphinx
#

i use fishing raids as my exaple

dense plover
#

you get it when killing an assassin

#

which requires 5 kills

#

so 1 party of alliance players can give 1 horde player the assassin buff

undone sphinx
#

yes but howmany ppl get rewarded for killing an assain?

dense plover
#

which can then earn 1 alliance player some stuff

#

1

#

the one who gets the killing blow

undone sphinx
#

now have you tested that?

dense plover
#

so literally you lose rewards

#

yes

#

i have

#

1 person gets the rewards

undone sphinx
#

well then 1 person gets world first πŸ˜ƒ

#

and enjoy the rolf situation

dense plover
#

im still unsure if its whoever does the most damage or whoever gets the killing blow

#

but its only 1 person

#

it wont be a fast way to level

#

because you dont get xp from kills

undone sphinx
#

have u done it in a party?

dense plover
#

the xp is a %bonus

#

yes

#

the xxp is a percent bonus on kills, but the big buff is its a %bonus on quests

#

if you arent doing quests, the %bonus is worthless

undone sphinx
#

you get xp for kills still?

dense plover
#

a small amount

#

not comparable to quests

#

not even close

strange falcon
#

yes,it's an insignificant amount

#

because (let's say,without any actual numbers) that the buff is 10% to exp right

#

10% of 500?(from killing a guy) is insignificant compared to like 10k or whatever xp quests give

dense plover
#

quests give around 16k

#

its a 15% bonus

#

kills givee like 1200 xp

#

the bonus is worthless in pvp

undone sphinx
#

so its a 15% bouns for like 10min?

dense plover
#

but on quests it is somewhat significnt

#

no

#

the 15% bonus is active during war mode

undone sphinx
#

ok

#

so 1200xp for 1 kill?

dense plover
#

it is meant as a bonus for turning in quests

undone sphinx
#

10kills = 12000xp

dense plover
#

yeah

#

thats the equivalent of 4/5th of a quest

undone sphinx
#

so i guess the murderpile is the best xp for lvling

dense plover
#

a quest which you definitely would finish first

#

no

#

you literally cant read can you

#

quests are faster

undone sphinx
#

everyone naked outside orgrimar i guess then

dense plover
#

that wont work

#

honorable kill debyuff

#

and again, only one side will get a bonus

#

nobody is going to go stand and get killed repeatedly for no reward

undone sphinx
#

lol that is wpvp

dense plover
#

no it isnt

strange falcon
#

look,if you want to do the murderpile,go for it,do it

dense plover
#

not in BfA

#

you can try

#

it wont work

strange falcon
#

we'll laugh at you when you're still 112 and we've been 120 for a week

#

πŸ‘

dense plover
#

youll take forever to level

#

also, ilvl matters for kill stuff

#

pretty sure if you are naked, you dont count as an honorable kill

#

since your ilvl is going to be like 30

#

which is the equivalent of someone who is level 60-ish i think

undone sphinx
#

i guess we will find out

dense plover
#

we dont have to because we already know how this works

#

but your choice to try something ridiculously dumb is just that - your choice

#

have fun taking forever to level and ignoring the fun quests

#

or the other leveling methd - island expeditions

undone sphinx
#

well i gues ill go to orgimar naked and see if i get killed for honr points

dense plover
#

you wont get any honor

#

you got killed

#

do you not know how pvp works?

undone sphinx
#

once again this is what freinds are for peach

dense plover
#

they wont be able to see you

#

why dont you understand this

#

it isnt one shard per realm

#

its a mix

#

and outside of rp realms, is cross-realm enabled

#

there is no guarantee of seeing people you know from the other faction

#

in fact, its very unlikely

strange falcon
#

in my time of playing wow(dont exactly know when they introduced shards),but by questing everyday in the same zones,through various expansions,the only time i saw the same person twice or more,

#

was just 2 times

#

once on argus,and another in pandaland

undone sphinx
#

my freind kiling me naked gets honor πŸ˜ƒ

#

.<

lilac berry
#

I meean.

undone sphinx
#

so yeah the murder pile works as a lving strat appenrlty

lilac berry
#

I really want to play as a Sanlayn. ._.

#

And now ...

#

I will never have them ...

#

I will die alone.

terse patrol
#

Why do you say that

lilac berry
#

And I will keep Role playing as an Undead High Elf with a Blood Elf...

sudden oak
#

we can only hope blizzard introduces another blood prince

terse patrol
#

They already implied theres more blood princes I thought

lilac berry
#

Such a sad fate ...

#

Link me some hope @terse patrol

undone sphinx
#

when do the new deathknights get created in the lore?

hollow dock
#

In Legion. We create our own 'expendable' deathknights that are, community called, Generation four.

#

and tartine

strange falcon
#

i think player dks were generation 3?

hollow dock
#

just because Dreven doesn't exist anymore don't mean that san'layn are gone. he has acolytes.

#

and yup! Player DKs are Generation 3.

uncut vault
#

There’s a blood princess out there, and Falstad implies he’s only one of the blood princes

hollow dock
#

In which, regardless of Dreven, theres no information or proof that San'layn are being made into an allied race just yet

terse patrol
#

I mean, it can be assumed. They seem to be setting up allied races for gnomes (junker gnomes), undead (san'layn), and goblins (vulpera).

#

But Sethrak are still up in the air (worgen).

#

I think it's pretty clear theyre making an allied race for each of the base races.

#

(sans pandaren)

#

@hollow dock

hollow dock
#

Assumptions are never a good thung

#

Thing*

terse patrol
#

What's to assume? Junker Gnomes seem to be all but confirmed. What, with the initial questline in game, the mysterious vault, etc.

#

Which means undead are their likely counterpart to get an allied race.

#

And they've already introduced San'layn to the plot.

#

They won't do Dark Rangers, because they'd be confined to the Hunter class.

#

What other undead type could get an allied race? Only the San'layn have been given any screen time.

#

just sayin

sharp bluff
#

we get junker pics yet?

hollow dock
#

We dont even know if junker gnomes -actually- exist

#

All we know is that they are gnomes. that wentmissing and leftbehind ruins of what looks to be a destroyed Tinker Town-like area.

#

The only thing that mentions Junker gnomes are the asset names.

sharp bluff
#

wh was the person comparing the sethrak to GW2 things?

strange falcon
#

because they're both androgynous

#

at least the sethrak are,unless blizzard smokes some drugs and decides Snitties exist

sharp bluff
#

no i mean i have an image for them

#

was it you Honk?

terse patrol
#

A bunch of native Kul Tiran Gnomes disappeared on the island. The Rusted Vault is full of brand spanking new Gnome assets, as well. The quest ends with the quest giver saying "I'll send word when I find something."

#

@hollow dock

#

And no, they're specifically assets for the Kul Tiran Gnomes, as the cogs have anchor symbols.

idle nest
#

the rep mount is so disappointing 😦

hollow dock
#

Yes they are.

#

Doesn't change that it's still like tinker town

#

I never said the assets are directly of tinker town :p

terse patrol
#

It's pretty clear they're prepping for the Gnome allied race.

sharp bluff
#

this is relevant to the snitties chat

terse patrol
#

no

sharp bluff
#

this is a female asura in GW2

terse patrol
#

That race is ugly af

hollow dock
#

Despite the fact that once again. There's no proof to it than your own assumptions

sharp bluff
#

if they could do it, why can wow not

hollow dock
#

That dances dangerously close to loli territory

sharp bluff
#

indeed, but it shows they are androgynous

#

image deleted so as to not get in trouble

hollow dock
#

das prolly why it's not going to get done in.

uncut vault
#

So, we might have found the culprit for Teldrassil

#

The alliance player

sharp bluff
#

?

uncut vault
#

Delaryn has us detonate azerite kegs in the waters around Teldrassil

terse patrol
#

why do they need to be androgynous

uncut vault
#

To keep them out of the hordes hands

sharp bluff
#

wait what?

hollow dock
#

So how does some water explosives

#

acount to the tree

#

igniting

terse patrol
#

I'd prefer if gnomes were a hair taller, and their heads matched their size.

#

But I want them to be clearly male/female.

hollow dock
#

When a massive flaming dragon that passes over it

#

didn't

uncut vault
#

Plot convenience

sharp bluff
#

Oh i meant for the snakes, gnomes are cleary male female

hollow dock
#

Somethings not quite right

idle nest
#

re that gw2 image, i don't think that's a real armor set

sharp bluff
#

it is an oufit, Raiment of the lich

#

it uses the male shirtless model, instead of the female model

idle nest
#

omg it does x.x

#

i'm sure that's an oversight by anet

sharp bluff
#

no

#

look at charr female

#

same thing

#

this one should be fine

#

they could easily do that with the Snakes

terse patrol
#

i dont like GW2 design

idle nest
#

i suppose, but in retrospect, many of the outfits for asura charr are single gender because they don't have breasts i guess

terse patrol
#

sorry

sharp bluff
#

The outfit in the picture is absolutely horrible

#

but it is for a point

idle nest
#

and sorry, i just joined the server 5 minutes ago, not sure what I walked in on xD

sharp bluff
#

Technically the Sylvari don't have tits, but just vine shaped breasts also, but those are covered mainly due to the shape

#

Snakes don't have the shape

idle nest
#

true, but they model themselves after humans, growing certain appendages and shapes

sharp bluff
#

oh ok, someone in here was comparing the snakes in BFA to the charr females in GW2 a few days ago

#

and i forget who

#

basically saying this is how you make a race androgynous without stepping on peoples feet

#

but ya honk, that particular outfit is horrendous, but i got it back when i could play the market in the game

#

honestly I will give gw2 one thing, they make the female furries better, I would play the above over a female worgen ANY day

hollow dock
#

All of GW2 races I dont like how theyre designed tbh

terse patrol
#

Korean MMO design sucks.

#

@hollow dock

hollow dock
#

yup. unless theyre human females

sharp bluff
#

I agree, but better then this ^ lol

terse patrol
#

One example.

hollow dock
#

so the worgen invalidate all of World of Warcraft?

#

that's not a tad shallow?

terse patrol
#

Compare all other WoW races in comparison to all Guild Wars races.

sharp bluff
#

oh no, I am saying female worgen look ugly

hollow dock
#

No ones disagreed with ya. We're stating Korean MMOs tend to suck for non-human female models.

#

since that's where most of their money ends up going

sharp bluff
#

non humanoid, yes

#

Norn Females in GW2 are thic and done right

hollow dock
#

Oh hey

#

human female

#

Who woulda thunk

sharp bluff
#

humanoid

#

norn are basically Kul Tiran

hollow dock
#

So

#

human

#

female

#

that doesn't change the statement I made before

sharp bluff
#

again I am not following? I am agreeing with you

hollow dock
#

So yes they made human females incredbily well like the other Korean MMOs. Why reiterate what I said as now Im confused. O.o

sharp bluff
#

we are both confused I believe

tulip sun
tulip sun
#

So is Zelling technically a shaman?

uncut vault
#

Tidesages are basically shamans, so yeah

tulip sun
#

So....forsaken shamans?

uncut vault
#

if they manage to raise more kul tiran tidesages, sure

tulip sun
#

In the last mission we acquire the tidesage secrets

#

I totally see Zelling training more even

still lily
#

Will Timelord title achievement be removed in BFA for chromie scenario and shet

#

??

uncut vault
#

No

still lily
#

Okay rad

sharp bluff
#

forsaken Shaman before forsaken paladins? didn't think that would happen

still lily
#

o3o

#

That sounds reasonable tho

dense plover
#

lol

#

thats so great

#

I attack the darkness!

#

i take candle!

#

so great

#

all it needs is a strongest potion joke

#

then its done

hollow dock
#

They did it

#

they made the meta joke

#

while making

#

a meta joke

#

"It'd be easier to heal you if you weren't standing in fire all the time."

dense plover
#

still needs a potion seller! joke

uncut vault
#

I like this art style SO much more

jade basalt
#

The artist, Katherine, is good.

#

The Reunion comic's artist(s) is/are pretty good as well, and they're actually rather famous in the industry, but the opinions are more controversial on it, a lot of people didn't like the art style while others did.

uncut vault
#

I didnt hate the artstyle

#

but jaina had no spine

jade basalt
#

Yeah a lot of people made spaghetti jokes and even memes.

#

The Magni comic's style is more common and safe. And there's no odd proportions it seems.

tulip sun
#

alliane

rich apex
tulip sun
#

alliance comic*

rich apex
#

who wore it better

tulip sun
#

neutral comic

#

I assume the next will be Horde

#

Pft, of course I can't read it lol

dense plover
#

very likely

#

so in a day or two we will get the full comic

#

thats what happened with tha jaina one

#

then a week after we will get another comic

uncut vault
#

My bets are either Saurfang or Nathanos for the horde one

#

Then the post-launch one will be an actual story progression instead setup

dense plover
#

oh i was thinking gallywix or nathanos

#

or maybe even talanji

uncut vault
#

Didn’t even consider Gallywix that’d actually be amazing

dense plover
#

since we dont have the story before BfA for how talanji got caught

#

those are the 3 i can think of

hollow dock
#

wasn't it that she went to the horde and the alliance found her on intercept?

dense plover
#

yeah

#

but how did she get caught?

#

stormwind isnt anywhere near ogrimmar

#

gallywix story would definitely be better

steel venture
#

unless she was trying to go to undercity she wouldn't have realistically gotten caught tbh

hollow dock
#

Are we applying realism to this and not everything else?

dense plover
#

so what do you guys think the chance of a drust raid or mini raid is?

#

we only see a little bit of them

tulip sun
#

She was on her way to meet Sylvanas, I don't think it was specified where

dense plover
#

but gorak tul is on the load screen

#

and he has an easy to say and catchy name

tulip sun
#

I am excited after seeing those finales

#

But I have no clue where the Horde will go from here, but the alliance one flat out states they are invading Zuldazar.

uncut vault
#

I hope we get more drust content

tulip sun
#

But ya, I suspect the drust will get more info

uncut vault
#

The stuff in Drustvar, as good as it is, is woefully small

#

And the origins are in a side quest

dense plover
#

yeah it seems like there is more

#

again, he is on the load screen

#

also he does say "your nightmare is just beginning" - "by destroying lady waycrest you have opened the doorway to your world"

#

oh

#

OH

#

thros is after the dungeon

uncut vault
#

Yeah all that work in his final room has to be for something

dense plover
#

one of his death lines is "fools - i await you in the blighted lands"

#

also seems there may be an explanation of how kul tirans learned druidism from the drust

#

its related to thros

uncut vault
#

My bets are there will be continuations like the mage tower in a future patch

dense plover
#

and an npc named Ulfar

#

he is a drust bear

#

thats who Ulfar is

#

i linked the specific moment

#

it seems he has taught the kul tirans druidism

uncut vault
#

Yeah I hope he’s used plenty

dense plover
#

it definitely seems like there is more drust story planned

#

oh

#

they are called The Thornspeakers

#

so it seems there may be some back and forth with them

#

"My ways embrace death as part of the natural cycle"

#

so thats why theyre all wicker-y

meager warren
#

forsaken druids confirmed?

uncut vault
#

It’s funny

#

I’ve RPed a D3 style necromancer for years

#

And used their balance ideology

#

Now it’s official canon

tawdry haven
uncut vault
#

None afaik

jade basalt
#

It might've been a test or scrapped achiev for the challenge tower questline.

steel venture
#

Probably what would've replaced it if they didn't say "Actually, no. You can't get this anymore."

dense plover
#

So I’m beginning to worry about endgame for BfA

#

There’s no suramar equivalent

#

At max level, once you complete the war campaign there isn’t much to do but world quests, islands, dungeons, and warfronts if they’re up

#

It’s the same repetitive content with no real story progression

#

I don’t know how blizzard can fix this, but they need to, or player retention will fail hard

drifting current
#

Hopefully they’ll add a patch or something just after release to add some nice endgame fun

#

Because I agree, I don’t want to grind the same 3 things over and over until something interesting arrives

#

*4 things sorry

#

Forgot about warfronts, easy mistake

uncut vault
#

well, muffinus has been open to an 8.0.5, plus theyre making the gap between 8.0 and 8.1 longer

drifting current
#

If there is an 8.0.5, they should put in good level 120 stuff

terse patrol
#

what proof is there that there wont be a suramar equivalent

uncut vault
#

I mean, Suramar was tested

#

so far theres nothing like that to test

#

no max level zone, unless they have one to pop in for surprise

drifting current
#

They’d better, because currently endgame is looking, meh

terse patrol
#

I’m sure they’re hiding a lot of stuff until launch

deft escarp
#

People tend to forget that you don't have to play the game nonstop

#

When there's no content, take a break

drifting current
#

But what people want to do is play as much as possible and get as much story and gameplay out of WoW as is possible, and if there’s just WQs, Dungeons, Warfronts and Islands on repeat until a major patch comes out, then it just bores the players

#

It’s why WoD was such a failure, the endgame was stagnant

deft escarp
#

I hope they add another mage tower

#

It's the only reason why I'm still subbed :p

drifting current
#

Mage tower was a great addition, they just need to add something to do the mage tower for

#

Seen as the current one is for Artefact skins, they need a BFA equivalent

#

Then I’m all for Mage Tower #2

deft escarp
#

I'm hoping for class-themed sets

#

Like in MoP

drifting current
#

That would be a nice idea, or what with the whole premise of the expansion, faction sets for the classes, if that makes any sense

#

Like a Horde Warlock faction set

deft escarp
#

Think they're saving the faction-themed ones for warfronts

drifting current
#

They’ll go all out on faction themes I think, really push the faction pride in

deft escarp
#

Well not for raids

#

They said they're doing all the raid sets around the theme of the raid

drifting current
#

The Raid sets are pieces of shit

#

The Mythic looks normal and all the rest look like questing gear

deft escarp
#

Yea, I think they should've kept the class-themed sets

#

DHs only got like 3 sets

drifting current
#

Class sets felt more, unique

uncut vault
#

given community backlash itll probably be a BfA only thing

drifting current
#

Thank god

#

Also, will we be getting Hearthstones for Dazar’alor and Boralus like we do Dalaran?

uncut vault
#

dont think so, but they have boats, and portals

untold fractal
#

will mages get teleports/portals to the capitals? maybe?

drifting current
#

I think mages will be able to teleport to the capitals, I’ll just have to change my hearth to Dazar’alor then

deft escarp
#

I think it's nice that we're finally going back to ships and zeppelins

hollow dock
#

I mean. like. to be fair. IN terms of class sets

#

all the classes minus DH have been done in to death

drifting current
#

I would still have that over the shitty raid sets thet we're getting

hollow dock
#

We haven't even seen all the raid sets...

drifting current
#

Well so far with the Uldir ones, I’m not sold on them at all

#

Cloth, Mail, Leather, Plate

#

All bad

hollow dock
#

are you sold on any of the first raiding tier of sets? O.o cuz I'm almost never am

drifting current
#

The Legion ones were pretty good, nice, varied and lots of fun glowy and 3D stuff (which makes a set for me) the Uldir ones the best we get is glowy eyes on Mythic

#

And that was just the first tier for Legion I’m talking about

hollow dock
#

the first tier of legion was the first set of innovative sets we've had in a while =/

drifting current
#

If anything that makes the Uldir stuff more disappointing

If anything it goes to prove Blizzards point even more.

#

Nighthold is 1 tier of three and the other two tiers was a copy of an older tier and the final one just wasn't good.

drifting current
#

The final tier was actually pretty good, the second one although it was a copy, they felt like they had revitalised some iconic sets

#

I was really looking forward to seeing the BFA sets after the success of the Legion ones

hollow dock
#

I wouldn't call them a success :p I've encountered a lot more people who just didn't like the legion ones, minus a few classes.

drifting current
#

I’d rather have a few classes and sets great and a couple of duds than a complete let down with all of them

hollow dock
#

to me this is more of the same. A tier or two is just a complete dud and one or two I really like Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

drifting current
#

None of them feel, special, for me

hollow dock
#

No set ever felt special to me.

drifting current
#

I’ve found that the sets feel special as they’re more directed to you and your class,which allows it to feel more personal, not just a general β€˜oh here’s one for plate, one for cloth users, one for mail and a leather one thrown in’

hollow dock
#

how are they directed for you though? o= sure for the class but how is a crystalized paladin set for 1 person but a more plate-mountain styled one not?

drifting current
#

By to you I meant class, my Warlock doesn’t want to be identical to a priest, the crystal Paladin one and the plate mountain one would be similar, but not totally identical so it doesn’t feel like every class is copy-pasted across the game

hollow dock
#

I just don't see it. Every paladin looks the same while they all wear the same armor. It just now extends to the other two plate wearers. Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

which it'd happen anyways. Since look-a-like armor exists.

drifting current
#

But the sets don’t even look nice, I would accept the idea of no class sets if these new Raid ones actually looked good

uncut vault
#

honestly, at least atm Im 100% fine with sacrificing tons of tier sets for the sake of other things

#

like warfront gear

#

and heritage armor

#

and I hope the trend continues in 8.1 with the barrens warfront and azshara raid

hollow dock
#

Same port. Im willing to wait for the other raiding tiers before I judge. First tier of raiding is generally never good.

drifting current
#

This has not put my hopes high

uncut vault
#

just that azshara raid staff is enough to convince me the gear will be at least decent

hollow dock
#

I never expect to be blown away

#

Expect the least and never get disappointed.

drifting current
#

I look forward to sets, I like seeing how creative Blizzard can get with these things

#

And they are an incredibly creative company and have great game devs and designers

hollow dock
#

these past few years blizz has not been all that creative with them.

#

A lot of the time, like with Hellfire, Blackrock, SoO, etc have all felt samey. Nightholds the first time in a few years that it felt unique and even then it's just because they put dragon heads on my deathknights shoulders.

drifting current
#

Again, I’d rather take having dragon head shoulders than the bland, uninspired sets in Uldir

hollow dock
#

For me I understand the concept of not being able to reinvent the mage every single time.

#

Id rather em not get so restricted

drifting current
#

I don’t understand why they couldn’t even make the sets look nice though

hollow dock
#

it's meant to be titan-specialized and sadly Ulduar made the first splash on that market

drifting current
#

The Ulduar sets for the most part don’t actually look that Titan specialised

#

So Uldir was a great opportunity for them

hollow dock
#

really?

#

I can see that for the deathknight

#

since that was seen on Darion before the Ulduar raid was released

#

but Paladin with its floating titan runes, warriors with its steam-powered machinations, etc didn't seem Titan inspired?

uncut vault
#

I mean in the Chamber of Heart they set up another titan facility somewhere

#

so they have another shot

#

Uldir isnt really meant to just be titanic, its got a lot of troll roots

#

and I think the armor meshes that well

#

especially plate

drifting current
#

There’s always a sodding troll raid

uncut vault
#

I think the problem is more the colors they chose

hollow dock
#

no there isnt

uncut vault
#

rather bland outside of the golden mythic

hollow dock
#

Last troll raid we had was MoP

drifting current
#

They’ve definitely tried to go for a titany theme with Uldir

#

Just the sets feel bland

strange falcon
#

they feel unimpressive,like something an actual person could wear instead of "particles galore floating pieces of gear 3000"

uncut vault
#

plate is one of the best in a while for me, if only because we finally have realistic chestplates

#

instead of pasted on collars

strange falcon
#

which is good,we dont have enough of those sets

uncut vault
#

most of the kul tiras gear is realistic stuff, and Im glad the horde side of things is getting some

drifting current
#

I think the Mythic ones should be better, if you do Mythic raiding, you want to scream it

uncut vault
#

because the azshara raid is guaranteed to have flamboyant highborne gear

hollow dock
#

if you do mythic raiding, often times its not for the gears look :p

drifting current
#

Still want everyone else to know that you do

#

I’m holding out for the Azshara sets, but as of now I’m quite disappointed with what could’ve been

hollow dock
#

plenty of other indications that you do. Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

unique crag
#

Yo guys

#

Hi

hollow dock
#

hello

drifting current
#

Hi

unique crag
#

Does anyone know where Wowhead got "San'layn emissary" part in their Alliance War Campaign part 6

hollow dock
#

Probably on the beta.

uncut vault
#

I mean, mythic gear isn't all that unique, hasnt been really ever, just a few modifications to the normal sets

#

only tier that had really unique, fully different sets was t17

drifting current
#

Still looks more visually impressive

hollow dock
#

which tier was that again?

drifting current
#

Blackrock Foundry I think

uncut vault
#

highmaul

drifting current
#

Oh yeah

hollow dock
#

ah ok. ehhhh. The blackrock/highmaul sets felt kinda samey but their mythic variants cranked em up a notch

uncut vault
#

mythic warlock is still the best warlock set for me

#

epitome of what an orc warlock should wear

drifting current
#

Why didn’t they do that for Uldir, introduced the concept of having no class sets with a bang

hollow dock
#

First tier of raiding is normally never impressive. 🀷

#

The exception being Legion

#

because it skipped the generic armor stage

drifting current
#

But this isn’t just a first tier, it’s a whole new idea and you want to impress on your first impression or else people will get skeptical

uncut vault
#

I mean Id say they impressed on the other end of WHY theyre doing less raid sets

#

people love the warfront sets

hollow dock
#

and the heritage armor

#

Heck the questing armor for the first time in a long while look actually appealing

drifting current
#

The Warfront/Heritage sets is the concept I said done right, if only they had applied that to raiding

uncut vault
#

the dungeon gear is gonna get used so much for human RPers

terse patrol
#

Think we’re getting anything today from Blizz?

hollow dock
#

we just got a shit ton of cutscenes

#

so maybe not

terse patrol
#

There’s speculation we may see the prepatch hit the PTR this week.

#

@hollow dock

hollow dock
#

ah I see makes sense.

#

I forget, did legions' prepatch hit the PTR or was it all tested in the beta?

terse patrol
#

Dont recall

#

But this a bigger prepatch than any other

verbal badger
#

legion pre patch was just the invasions, dh and some vendors

#

I don't think it was on the ptr

hollow dock
#

Yea Im curious on if the prepatch was tested at all on the PTR or if it was solely on the beta

terse patrol
#

Ye. So they might launch it this week or next. who knows.

#

Maybe in june

#

tbh

#

I think they’re going to wait for the Overwatch anniversary to end.

wheat elm
#

it was on ptr

terse patrol
#

Blizzard doesnt like taking away from their other games

wheat elm
#

you could go there and test class changes

tropic trail
#

Well, maybe we're going to see a longer Pre-Patch period with a bit internal timeagting

#

Like, I could say it having three "phases".

#
  1. The stuff with silithus and the artifacts
#
  1. The stuff around Teldrassil
#
  1. The stuff around UC
verbal badger
#

yes it will mostly likely have several phases

#

because even if it drops only mid july

#

you still have a month

#

where content has to stay somewhat relevant

#

because you remove artifacts

earnest mortar
deft escarp

holy moly

earnest mortar

exactly

tropic trail
#

wow those shoulderpads are THICC

hollow dock
#

ew

#

horde

tropic trail
#

i'm alliance and I think that looks sick

hollow dock
#

Well good for you.

sharp bluff
#

is that blue horde armor?!?!?!

#

mygod, I need that, it looks amazing

#

what is up with the worgen boots though?

earnest mortar
#

toe armor

#

xD

#

steel toe shoes

#

idk

#

there is also a black set

#

warfront mail armor πŸ‘Œ

sharp bluff
#

mmm that armor is going to looks so good on most of the horde

wheat elm
#

That aint toe armor

#

Thats brass knuckles for feet

glacial silo
#

That's the mail armor? Bruh yes please

quartz mango
#

anyone been trying Arcane Mage on beta? opinions?

karmic copper
#

I like how Blizz hid the side of Azeroth that has Zandalar and Kul'Tiras on the world here.

dusky torrent
#

bfa beta questlog buggy?

hollow dock
#

very much so

sullen dagger
#

bfa is buggy as heck r/n

#

also, honest question, why when people is asked about what race would you like to have as a playable race they ask for non humanoid ones, when it's friggin obvious they aint going to go that route?

#

i find that mind - boggling

jade basalt
#

They didn't hide it. Zandalar would be located between the Maelstrom and Pandaria, it's just missing, because it's a 7.3 map

karmic copper
#

yea its to the right of kulai

#

meaning that maybe that little thing there is zandalar

strange falcon
#

bruh,i dont like the warfront armor in general

#

but that mail one

#

oh boi

earnest mortar
#

@strange falcon i feel ya

sullen dagger
#

the alliance warfront lvl 3 is sweet as candy

strange falcon
#

eh not really my cup of cake,just like the plate horde one

sullen dagger
#

i just leveled a warrior to get this

dense plover
#

i think i realized how they plan to do max level content

#

i think there will be quest lines in the other factions zones that arent directly part of the war campaign

ornate pivot
#

I thought they said that at Blizcon?

dense plover
#

not specifically

#

they pretty much just described the war campaign

#

which isnt that long

#

though i imagine the rep grind will take longer on release

#

since its pretty fast right now

#

in general, i expect most of the reps to be slowed down

#

since you reach revered with most of the leveling factions by the time you reach 120

ornate pivot
#

That could be a problem with keeping people

verbal badger
#

you could get exalted pretty fast in legion too

#

on release

#

if you spammed world quests and dungeons

#

except nightborne which took a while

tropic trail
#

what are yalls thoughts on the new Paladin set up ?

#

hm

hollow dock
#

Pretty dang fluid

meager warren
#

Nightborne took about the same imo

#

It was finishing the story that was difficult

verbal badger
#

it might've been because of the stupid scenario that you kept having to do

#

that made it feel like it took forever

ionic terrace
#

Wow, the Magni comic is super sad...

frigid crater
ionic terrace
#

Queen Eimear Bronzebeard FeelsBadMan

dense plover
#

its only a preview

#

theres several more pages

#

they just arent released yet

ionic terrace
#

Yes they are πŸ˜›

#

It says preview but it's the full thing

dense plover
#

oh shit

#

weird that it isnt advertised yet

#

also servers just crashed

ionic terrace
#

Beta?

#

and yeah, it's a really good look into Magni's family

dense plover
#

yes

#

and damn

#

apparently if we dont stop the wound, the world will explode

ionic terrace
#

Yeah monkaS

dense plover
#

also the parallels between his past and the sword are pretty great

#

glad they didnt forget his past to make his present seem more important

ionic terrace
#

I've always loved Magni since I first played, heh

meager warren
#

@verbal badger what scenario? I was talking about that stupid currency you had to pay for everything

verbal badger
#

the one with the withered army

#

and the spiders

dense plover
#

you only needed to do it like 3 times if you were a tank

tulip sun
#

That comic...

agile token
#

oh my

hollow dock
#

Yea

#

big surprise

#

our planets dying if we dont act

dense plover
#

not just dying

#

apparently it explodes

verbal badger
#

we all know what this is leading to

#

namely the whole artifact scenario

#

I wonder what we'll be wielding as weapons till BFA though

sharp bluff
#

so... who likes outland 2.0?

hollow dock
#

The artifacts

#

but as stat sticks

tulip sun
#

Is it bad that i wpuld like it to explode?

#

Would

hollow dock
#

yes

#

Very bad

#

in fact

tulip sun
#

It would be interesting

hollow dock
#

loads of people die because of that

#

and theres 0 guarantee we survive it.

#

Unlike outland that was torn apart by portals

tulip sun
#

The krokul and animal lufe did on argus

hollow dock
#

ours is a literal explosion from within

#

Because demons had to still inhabit Argus

tulip sun
#

Eh, if goijg by that image above

dense plover
#

yeah what happened on argus is totally different

tulip sun
#

Going*

#

It seems like there is

hollow dock
#

there's also no guarantee that the pieces stay where Azeroth is

#

for all we know we crash into other planets and die

#

that's not really interesting :p

tulip sun
#

We dont know if that would happen or not v.v

#

Vlizz can write it however they want

#

Blizz

meager warren
#

Outland 2.0...... sad

dense plover
#

it wouldnt happen

#

that would require an entire world cataclysm

#

that would take so many resources

sharp bluff
#

it won't lol, but you can almost hear the fear

#

outlands 1.0 is bad enough

tulip sun
#

I am not saying it was

#

BUt it is neat to think about

hollow dock
#

think about sure.

#

But to have happen, not so much

tropic trail
#

So are the drust vrykul?

hollow dock
#

no

#

they look similar but aren't

dense plover
#

gorak tul is the only actual drust we have seen

#

the other are like spirits

#

but they are similar to vrykul visually

tropic trail
#

They could be descended from Vrykul though, right?

hollow dock
#

they might but there isn't any real information on the how

#

other than they look similar

tropic trail
#

I don't see them being descended from the Wild Gods or Trolls.

hollow dock
#

In which looks have nothing to do with relation

#

since the Jinyu are mutated murlocs

tropic trail
#

I definitely dont see them coming from another planet either.

sharp bluff
#

all humans are descended from Vrykul

#

Humans are mutant children of them

hollow dock
#

and we look nothing like them

dense plover
#

the drust have no origin story we know of

#

but they dont seem to be related to vrykul from the story we know

tropic trail
#

I mean they kind of have an origin story

dense plover
#

no

tropic trail
#

like they have druid magic, that's very important

dense plover
#

they have a - they were here before the kul tirans showed up - story

#

thats not an origin story

#

thats backstory to help explain their existance to the player

#

backstory =/= origin story

hollow dock
#

they were the natives to Kul Tiras and I dont remember Uldir having titan constructs in it. Though the Drust having come from Uldir would make sense.

dense plover
#

same as how we dont know the drogbar origin story

#

we dont know if they are related to something like troggs

#

or if they are unique

#

the same goes for the drust

hollow dock
#

Yup.

tropic trail
#

we do have an origin story though

#

aren't drogbar failed titan constructs?

dense plover
#

not that we know of

#

drogbar have no origin story

tropic trail
#

Xal'atath says that

#

the priest artifact

dense plover
#

all we know is they helped strap the plates on to deathwing

hollow dock
#

She implies it

#

but does not outright say it

tropic trail
#

yes

dense plover
#

implication is not enough for an entire origin story

#

and we have nothing for the drust

hollow dock
#

It just gives a possible way for blizzard to expand if they want to

#

if not, since it came from Xal'atath, they can just say she lied

dense plover
#

we just know they were on kul tiras and then wiped out by the kul tirans

tropic trail
#

I can see no one is interested in talking about drust

dense plover
#

we are

tropic trail
#

quickly denying anything said about their backstory

dense plover
#

but we have nothing

#

we arent denying

tropic trail
#

so I'll be on my merry way

dense plover
#

we have nothing

hollow dock
#

You had asked us questions

#

we answered the questions

dense plover
#

the fact that we dont have answers isnt our fault

#

we dont know

#

because there is nothing in game

hollow dock
#

if you'd like to speculate, maybe not ask the flat question and present the speculation?

bitter sequoia
#

Sorry if its already been discussed or whatever, but will the allied races have the same requirements post launch as they do know? It seems strange to me that blizzard would want to lock away their new creations behind a grind wall, especially for new players

dense plover
#

maybe

hollow dock
#

So far, yes.

dense plover
#

we dont know

#

they could change it after the prepatch

#

which they might

hollow dock
#

there hasn't been any information on them changing other than "We're looking into it"

dense plover
#

^

bitter sequoia
#

Alright, thanks guys

rapid berry
#

I have question if I have 890 ilvl paladin what ilvl he will be in bfa. Can I see anywhere

drowsy wolf
#

The base characters are in 880 gear, so cross multiply

#

880/185 = 890/x

#

186.09 roughly

terse patrol
#

That comic was really good.

#

@hollow dock

hollow dock
#

that comic was good.

#

Im glad they put a reasoning for Magni's treatment of Moira

uncut vault
#

Yeah Magni and Terenas being the only two men with sexist views in warcraft was... weird

#

glad theyre rectifying it

hollow dock
#

Indeed. They rectify it without excusing it. He's still sort of in the wrong for being so overprotective of Moira but it's more understanding of why he acted the way he did. I like that.

tulip sun
#

So uh....the riverbeast is a hippo.

#

I was thinking iy was that animal from draenor

dense plover
#

no

#

it uses the same skeleton i think

#

but its a new model

#

inspired by the draenor thing

terse patrol
#

Well

dense plover
#

but more hippo like

terse patrol
#

Its literally a hippo, just with tusks.

uncut vault
#

they are from draenor

#

its a riverbeast

#

it and the clefthoof are both draenor mounts

dense plover
#

it isnt from draenor

#

and it looks very different

tropic trail
#

can and will we ever get Azotha as an Allied Race?

dense plover
#

BfA

#

not legion

#

what are azotha?

#

oh

tropic trail
#

They're the semi cannon race of humans and vrykul

dense plover
#

no

#

they arent canon

tropic trail
#

Kind of cannon

dense plover
#

theres 0 mention of them in 3 volumes of chronicles

#

they are no longer canon

tropic trail
#

Because of the azeroth thing

#

but thats about it

devout wagon
#

Azotha are referenced in Lands of Conflict.

dense plover
#

The WoW RPG books are not considered canon anymore

devout wagon
#

And Shadows & Light.

tropic trail
#

Wait

#

who's the kid of garona

dense plover
tropic trail
#

isnt he in the wow rpg books only?

dense plover
#

medan?

tropic trail
#

yeah

dense plover
#

he isnt canon either

tropic trail
#

He's cannon

dense plover
#

no

#

he isnt

tropic trail
#

just the tirisgarde thing isnt cannon

devout wagon
#

Med'an is no longer canon. He was. He isn't anymore.

hollow dock
#

All of Med'an has effectively been removed from every story plot point in Chronicles

#

Med'an is not officially retconned out

dense plover
#

^

#

but he literally doesnt matter now

hollow dock
#

but every single event he appears in, he simply doesn't

dense plover
#

so he might as well not be canon

tropic trail
#

Oh I thought they were just writing him out the plot but still keeping him

hollow dock
#

Garona helps out against the Hammer not because of her son, but because she wants to. Things like that.

dense plover
#

they wrote him out of everything

#

his status as existing is a bit up in the air

tropic trail
#

Yeah but that doesnt make him not cannon

dense plover
#

but he doesnt matter

hollow dock
#

As I said.

#

He's not officially retconned out

devout wagon
#

Rys does make a point.

dense plover
#

he literally could be any character now though for all intents and purposes

hollow dock
#

but he is essentially retconned as of this moment.

dense plover
#

he has no important role

tropic trail
#

They could be saving him for something

#

Im guessing

dense plover
#

i doubt it

hollow dock
#

Even in chronicles vol 3 they place him in the index

dense plover
#

they want him gone

hollow dock
#

next to the numbers "404"

dense plover
#

but dont want to say he doesnt exist at all

#

because those comics are nice

hollow dock
#

and the writers have gone on note when asked about Med'an to "Let things go"

dense plover
#

^

#

they essentially dont plan to use him

tropic trail
#

Keeping him in their pocket, just in case

dense plover
#

but they dont want to fully retcon incase of emergency lore reasons

tropic trail
#

Right

hollow dock
#

yup

dense plover
#

if they need garona to feel threatened

#

or create a reason for garona to do something

tropic trail
#

So the Azotha exist, right?

hollow dock
#

no

dense plover
#

no

hollow dock
#

That is RPG material

dense plover
#

those books are 100% not canon since 2011

#

none of the RPG material is

hollow dock
#

RPG material is 100% not canon until they make it canon by altering it for the storyline

dense plover
tropic trail
#

Okay

dense plover
#

they answeredd there

tropic trail
#

What is Azeroth's name?

dense plover
#

that is its name

hollow dock
#

Azeroth

dense plover
#

thats her name

hollow dock
#

Azeroth's name is Azeroth

tropic trail
#

The humans named the planet azeroth though

hollow dock
#

Nope

dense plover
#

nope

tropic trail
#

No?

dense plover
#

thats the name of the titan

tropic trail
#

Why'd they change it?

hollow dock
#

Chronicles

dense plover
#

just like argus is the one from argus

hollow dock
#

Volume 1

dense plover
#

because thats how titans work

#

because the name was decided on randomly 20 years ago

#

so they gave it a reason that made sense with argus coming up

hollow dock
#

Each of the titan souls have their own name. That name is placed onto the Planet.

dense plover
#

since that was probably already in planning somewhere

hollow dock
#

Azeroth's is Azeroth, Aman'thul was Aman'thul (which is kinda odd for the rest of the pantheon but eh. )

#

not the strangest thing they've written into the game

dense plover
#

not even close

tropic trail
#

Well that's disappointing for me

#

Anyways, I really hope the final boss isnt an old god

dense plover
#

it probably will be

#

OR it will leead into an old god expac

devout wagon
#

It wont be.

hollow dock
#

I mean. N'zoth is the only old god we haven't touched.

dense plover
#

but it probably will be

#

we havent even seen nzoth

tropic trail
#

Yeah but we just got done fighting a Titan in Legion and after this we're just going to fight a puny old god?

dense plover
#

and theres so much old god stuff going on

#

old gods arent puny

#

theyre massive monsters

#

the size of continents

tropic trail
#

Yeah but a titan can easily kill one

hollow dock
#

Granted in comparison to a titan, yes they're tiny and insignificant.

tropic trail
#

though they dont

dense plover
#

yeah

devout wagon
#

This isn't an old god expac. It's just the prologue to one.

dense plover
#

and kill the planet too

hollow dock
#

^

dense plover
#

its either a prologue or a full blown old god expac

#

its not clear

hollow dock
#

Im calling it right now

devout wagon
#

It really is.

tropic trail
#

I hope a prologue

hollow dock
#

8.1

dense plover
#

it is likely they are pulling a warlords -> legion

hollow dock
#

Old God shit happens

dense plover
#

where BfA is about stuff and old gods are half the problem

#

then the next expac, old gods become the main problem

#

i mean

devout wagon
#

Kul'tiras is invested with old go d influences, but none of the bosses that are leaked have anything to do with them aside from Azshara.

dense plover
#

we are fighting azshara

#

so theres going to be nzoth stuff there

hollow dock
#

We do know 1 thing Maxi

dense plover
#

nzoth and azshara are story linked

hollow dock
#

Azshara is this expacs Ghoulish daniel

dense plover
#

pretty much

hollow dock
#

so you know what that means

dense plover
#

and nzoth is probably this expacs argus

Old God shit happens bay

#

beeeeeeeeeeee

tropic trail
#

Why not have this xpac be the prologue to the void lords xpac and have the old god be like the first or second raid boss

hollow dock
#

we can't fight void lords

dense plover
#

we cant fight the void lords

hollow dock
#

they dont exist in our reality

tropic trail
#

Why not?

dense plover
#

they dont exist on our plane

#

they exist in a place we cant visit

tropic trail
#

Okay something inbetween void lords and old gods then, if they exist

dense plover
#

it leaked once and destroyed the planet of the ethereals

devout wagon
#

Old gods are the Void Lord's weapons. We can just take away the weapons. 🀷

dense plover
#

before they were ethereal

hollow dock
#

yup

dense plover
#

void lords are serious shit that we cant ever fight

tropic trail
#

Can we fight Azeroth?

dense plover
#

why would we?

hollow dock
#

Maybe? but why

tropic trail
#

Because corruption

hollow dock
#

she's our planet

#

our home

dense plover
#

she isnt a void titan

hollow dock
#

She's not corrupted yet

dense plover
#

and if she was two things would happen

devout wagon
#

Yet.

dense plover
#

one, she would be way stronger than argus

hollow dock
#

Sargeras wants to off her because she -might- be a corrupted titan

tropic trail
#

Yeah they can pull some type of shit to make her corrupted afterall

dense plover
#

2, the planet would be fucked just like argus was

#

they arent going to do that

hollow dock
#

and yea we kinda live here still

dense plover
#

that would require revamping both continents

#

it takes too many resources

#

it will never happen

devout wagon
#

They're making a massive world war expac and are only changing two zones. I doubt they would change anything else.

dense plover
#

more than two

#

barrens

hollow dock
#

theyre changing some parts of the old world

dense plover
#

dustwallow marsh

devout wagon
#

How are they changed?

dense plover
#

teldrassil

tropic trail
#

Okay so what other type of final bosses will be presented after we defeat the other faction and the last old god

dense plover
#

theyre getting completely redone in a later patch

hollow dock
#

Arathi has all the new warfront assets baked in

dense plover
#

just like arathi

hollow dock
#

since theres warfronts there
