Weird.

Most other races got modifications in general, but obviously it's not clear what was modified.
Interestingly to note, vulpera didn't get any this pass. :P

New Anduin looks sweet...
As do the new Guard models...
As for the night elf sentinel armor... it's interesting... very interesting... cough cough

His lion helmet was pretty cool

Can't find a picture for the new sentinel gear
But here's the new stormwind guard gear

Quite something

alright i tried survival hunter on the ptr and harpoon is bugged, doesnt always bring you to the target
marksman flows rather nicely actually its simple but reminds me of sidewinders gameplay, really methodical
and beastmastery is just beastmastery

EmoteWave
CombatWound
DragonStomp
EmoteRude
EmoteNo
Dodge
EmoteYes
EmoteFlex
EmoteKneel (KneelEnd, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc)
That's the new stuff on KT Male. Or at least the most likely-to-be-new stuff
EmoteLaugh is new-ish but sorted prior to stuff that was probably already in.
Anything pre-inserted is harder to track because I don't keep up with this list, but...
And the rest if you care
@uncut vault
Here's a big chunk of the female animation list.
No clue if/what is new here, as it looks more like stuff was injected rather than added at the end.
wise jetty
ptr without copy option , really ?
oak wraith
I grabbed a low-pop one, might be the cause
stone seal
but don't have one high enough level
Oh
!!!
If you make a class trial on live
You can copy it to ptr and its a full character
dense plover
260 will last until like lvl 118
That’s decent
They can’t have your gear stay good
Or endgame BfA would be pointless
stone seal
How do I actually start bfa then?
dense plover
You can’t
Ptr is prepatch
No BfA content
It’s everything prior to the actual BfA stuff
uncut vault
its prepatch, systems and new class change testing
urban dew
Do we know how bad stat squish/ilvl squish is?
urban dew
Holy cow that's a ilvl squish
urban dew
I didn't think it go down that far
stone seal
I think its just like this atm while they sort everything
don't think numbers are decided fully yet
urban dew
Hope it doesn't go down that much
nova hamlet
I honestly like it low. They inflate numbers way too fast lately. Partly the fault of having way too many raid difficulties on top of titanforging. Makes numbers inflate so much more insanely fast
Hitting over 10k is a big silly to me never mind hitting for a million
oak wraith
Well, it does go this low. I tried stuff on the beta, and you don't notice the lower number in general. Play is mostly fine (there's probably some edge cases, but that's more tuning than anything)
Yeah.
Not to mention the AP numbers...
"I got ... how many? And I need ... how many more?" counts zeroes
nova hamlet
The numbers below a certain point just become redundant. If you hit for 100,589 damage the 589 part is basically irrelevant st that point
graceful turret
Bfa good?
nova hamlet
I really need to figure a main still since it looks like enhancement is stuck in the bin till the first patch at least. Eh not a bad thing at least good to swap since I mained it in legion
Define 'good'
graceful turret
Well if you can compare it legion and rate it 1/10
nova hamlet
If bug free running smooth then absolutely not it's a horror show. If your meaning zones they look nice and got interesting elements
Leveling wise..... eh... alliance side 4/10. I find it generally bland outside some cool bits.
Horde I've heard is much better
Dungeons not having done well of them 6/10. Some have cool bits and others have annoying bits to them
Though dungeon tuning is super wonky. Some stuff dr ones waaaaay more then it probably should on normal
Classes are mostly same as legion but downgraded. It might be fine for some others hurt with what was lost from artifact or general changes
Does way more damage*
graceful turret
Oh,thanks mate i really needed to hear a feedback from a player perspective
nova hamlet
NP.
sour burrow
Smoochums is dead.

The main thing is the ally hub makes you want rry o cry because the damn gates lol. Seriously every single one forcing y pi h yo dismount to walk under it then mount up again. I swear it's a troll job by a dev!
heavy cairn
haha dunno if someone said this here but I told yall that artifacts would still be there, just "disabled"
I was criticized for interpreting blizzard's use of a certain word ("retired") as having multiple possible meanings, not just "destroyed"
pretty sure we all should have known this for a long time from a certain dev q/a
but that interface looks exactly like I thought it would

strange falcon
cinder osprey
So will they be adding the Teldrassil/Lordaeron stuff in the prepatch on the PTR or will that be a live thing?
urban dew
I believe pre-patch is already on PTR
cinder osprey
It is, but it just seems to be Legion with the class/stat changes. I thought there’d be more, so not 100% sure.
I remember Legion prepatch being epic
With the invasions and stuff
strange falcon
hey at least we got login screen music <.<
urban dew
Well, BfA doesn't seem to be as huge as Legion, since Legion required them to cut content for WoD
But I think it'll be a pretty neat expansion
If we get sneks
heavy cairn
afaik original cause for cut content for WoD wasn't legion, it was that they had ambitious ideas and wasted some time on them before realizing their impossibility, and by the time expansion launch came they realized time would be better spent on making next expansion much better
e.g. more than 2 garrison locations, alternative entrance gateway to AU Draenor, whole different plan for tanaan that got scrapped
they've spent a lot of time on BfA according to what was said at BlizzCon, but they say that every time lol
heavy cairn
from what was available to play at blizzcon, I'd estimate they had a lot of the content pretty much done at that point if they already had two zones polished enough for that sort of preview
but then again, took quite a while for the alpha test to start, did it not?
strange falcon
cough scrapped thaldranath cough
scrapped karabor and bladespire citadel as main cities
scrapped shattrath raid
heavy cairn
I highly doubt they spent much time on the shattrath raid or faralohn, but pretty sure they wasted some resources on karabor and bladespire given some datamining vids I watched. also compared to HD dalaran, the shrine, and the bfa hubs, warspear and stormshield were pretty trash
strange falcon
hey at least we got argus instead of thaldranath,better than the nothing from faralohn XD
heavy cairn
yea lol
pretty sure argus was actually planned as a dungeon (datamined "Legion Dungeon" or something looked like a primitive Macaree)
but then they made it 3 whole zones instead thanks to scrapping of thaldranath
w/e I don't know or really care how big BfA is, I just hope 8.0 endgame isn't like how 7.0 was lol
I liked suramar that wasn't my issue, it's that after suramar there didn't seem to be much to do other than do emerald nightmare. hardly any incentive to do WQs or content around the world either before paragons, legion assaults (back when nethershards were the hype), legion invasion points, or argunite in general
hopefully island expeditions will be worth it similar to invasion points--I played one on the alpha and it was pretty fun
but yea most of my experience with bfa is pretty outdated (from late-ish alpha) and I never did reach 120
strange falcon
i got to 120 on 2 characters,and i believe legion was like a "learning how to actually tune the new systems" in the early months of it
heavy cairn
yea that's kind of what it felt like
7.1 was a relief, 7.2 I thought it would be too except the pacing of it sucked
so I took a break till 7.3.2 and do not regret coming back at that point lol
7.3 was great, and I don't think it was because of "catchup mechanics"
7.2 would've been fine if they had both a real questline and an arguinite-like grind (I mean legion assaults were nice but they were terribly timed) on the broken shore
oh oh another reason I liked 7.3, m+ worked much better
heavy cairn
I only did one and it was a while back, but I really liked it
I hope it has a decent place in the non-raiding scheme of things
I am a raider but I like to be able to do things when I'm not raiding
ruby star
i've done quite a few normal and pvp ones, they feel really good, especially that what spawns etc is random
However pvp is hard xD
for islands at least
strange falcon
warfronts seem to be fun too
heavy cairn
ah yea warfronts, haven't touched that'
ruby star
I love warfronts too!
heavy cairn
hopefully I'll find the systems fun, it's a shame I have to level to 120 first lol
ruby star
a lot of peopel are going druids for islands
heavy cairn
although it will be nice reexperiencing the storylines without bugs and with cutscenes (in the case of voldun I didn't get very far so that will be new too)
heavy cairn
I'll consider druid when zandalari troll comes out
I was planning on levelling my druid back when zandalari was coming before maghar
but no...
strange falcon
i was interested in zandalari only for moonkin form,but moose travel form is too stronk
heavy cairn
I don't even care about forms, I'd probably play resto tbh, but I really like how zandalari trolls look compared to normal trolls
whatever, I'll just be sticking with either my mage or paladin (depending on what role I feel like playing)
urban dew
Seems like there's a lot more to do in BfA.
heavy cairn
I mean in theory but
urban dew
Oh my god
heavy cairn
7.2 looked huge to me too
urban dew
I can't type when I'm tired
urban dew
Oh, 7.2 was Nighthold, wasn't it?
urban dew
Oh
heavy cairn
ugh I'm probably not going to get my paladin's challenge artifact before bfa, oh well. seems holy is going back to sword+shield so what does it matter anyway I suppose ¯_(ツ)_/¯
strange falcon
aka using a dagger and trasmogging it on a staff
strange falcon
as long as you're the correct spec,it should work
heavy cairn
well well
strange falcon
they said this in the recent QnA yesterday
you can go and watch it in case i misheard any words
urban dew
So wait, 7.2 was two raids?
strange falcon
no lul
strange falcon
they added the zone's story in 7.1.5,opened the actual raid in 7.2
urban dew
7.1 was NH, and 7.2 ToS
heavy cairn
7.0.3 - emerald nightmare
7.1.0 - trial of valor
7.1.5 - nighthold
7.2.5 - tomb of sargeras
7.3.2 - antorus, the burning throne

but you can use flying mounts as ground mounts
and yea Im really tempted to roll Fury for my main Omake
it's really fun

I didn't play nearly as much at the beginning of Legion and for a couple of months after dealing with my mom's death, and I still had flying unlocked the day it was possible

I'll correct myself, the bug was when it was in Alpha. I haven't leveled through beta yet as they've put in story shit and cutscenes I don't want to see until live 😛

@naive meteor So first up, the in game map is a cartography of all the places we go to that are relevant to us. Kul tiras and Zandalar have been to before, but have never been relevant to us. Kul tiras left the alliance and the Zandalari aren't apart of the horde.
So why would you draw it there?

There's a rebound of litteral whining on EU about that, it's getting very cringy and annoying. (reason for my annoyance at that)

Okay
oak wraith
Blizz just needs to add blue eyes to Belves, problem solved 😄
hollow dock
still doesn't solve the problem gilthy
dusky ginkgo
I was against, I'm mostly neutral now.
I would be okay if it's the same model as belves and that warpaint/braids/feathers all that is also added to the belves ("but in red" was a suggestion I've seen) since, you know, belves ALSO have rangers and all that. Not just "Belves model but with MORE FEATURES AND BETTER AND ONLY FOR ALLIANCE"
I think it would be fair? It would give Alliance folks who really want high elves have their high elves, and it would also respect the culture for those who prefer the blood elves.
hollow dock
to people like me that do enjoy their story and are saddened by the fact that blizz does not actually cover the huge gap in the story that exists for them, it doesn't.
tropic trail
I love the BFA story <3
dusky ginkgo
Not my idea by the way, it was a suggestion I have seen and agree with.
hollow dock
I think that'd be fair as well Inay.
still lily
The gap is there because it's very much irrelevant since blood elf is the major remnants of the high elves o3o
hollow dock
Belves get their additions, ya know. like golden eyes.
still lily
I mean I can see the interest for more high elf lore
But it's entirely irrelevant now
hollow dock
to you, once more.
tropic trail
I think adding high elves just kind of ruins half the fun for blood elves, even if they're different.
hollow dock
For me, I enjoy the story of the struggle. learning to live without the Sunwell's reliance, having to fight withdrawls, etc etc etc.
That's the story that blizzard absolutely passed on.
still lily
No it's actually irrelevant to the grand scheme of WoW's story right now
hollow dock
even when it was relevant
dusky ginkgo
I admit that a lot of my against stance was that I don't like how the high elf story is treated, and don't like the race in general; so having them gain stuff that should be shared among all the Thalassian folks seemed very unfair to me.
(I also admit that I main a blood elf, so that was absolutly partial of me)
still lily
I mean when it was relevant there were things of greater relevancy
still lily
Although it does suck we won't get any more high elf material for the foreseeable future
hollow dock
So I just keep it silent
still lily
I'm fine without it
hollow dock
You are. So am I. Doesn't change that I'd like it to happen.
still lily
Who knows, with the huge importance on the windrunners High elf lore might fall back into extreme relevancy
hollow dock
In which now is actually the perfect time to actually explore the high elves.
still lily
And we'll get more material
hollow dock
all 3 windrunners are relevant again
tropic trail
for the sake of races please not another elf race
hollow dock
Alliance horde war? Silver Covenant is once more relevant and is a fighting force within the alliance.
still lily
I'd be fine with more lore but playable Helf would be crossing a line

a line I'd rather not be crossed
hollow dock
Again, why?

I'm curious on the why as well?

I would keep bitching if they get stuff like warpaint and braids and blood elves don't.
(I main a blood elf ranger damnit, I want warpaint and braids too)
hollow dock
I support any race being added in, including helves, and y'all are actively trying to get me to stop that. 030

Half (high) elves would be pretty cool for the alliance and lore isnt really an issue. and alleria's kid can have some more lore

You're misunderstanding, please calm down a little

When that happens, yes I'll be frustrated and angry.

still lily
No they aren't the solution
zealous basalt
All because my image
tropic trail
why not
dusky ginkgo
'cause they are no more helves than the velves were.
still lily
and all they'll succeed in doing is making people that don't want more elf races just more miffed at the fact there's another elf race
Even if it's just half elf
dusky ginkgo
(Which by the way, you were right about Vris, and I'm still disappointed about it because the Helves getting desperate enough to touch the Void would have made a damn interesting story in my opinion)

Ugh, people and their constant nagging about 'no spoilers' Rolls eyes #rant
rogue in general doesnt feel too nerfed
huh

Sorry if this has been asked/answered already, too many messages to catch up.. was on the PTR but didn't get a prompt for the new scenarios.. are they not available yet?
zealous basalt
Not yet
dense plover
They are going to be

I was discussing as to why Draenei haven't rebuilt most of their civilication and used a quote out of the Chronicle V2 and he got pissed because he hadn't read the book 'yet'.
dense plover
Chronicles 2 is old
That’s not a valid reason
Now, before the storm, that’s a different story
tropic trail
It wasn't even a quote! It was just the time span of where the Draenei built the foundation of their civilication to built my argument as to why they haven't built anything significant on Azeroth. (Out of the Vindicaar)
hollow dock
the general rule is: Wait a week and then its free for all
tropic trail
I myself am unmoved by spoilers.
If I read it, I read it and honestly, I cannot get spoiled. XD
tropic trail
I mean, naming the timeline of Draenei building Auchindoun, Karabor and Shattrath is not really a spoiler, is it?
strange falcon
i see spoilers,i get spoiled,my brain automatically deletes that info,i can enjoy the content,that's how i can play on beta u.u
tropic trail
Still, people trying to use 'no spoiler' to avoid any sort of lore talk is annoying.
restive sage
why cant i turn shadows to low on dx 12
dense plover
Because the option doesn’t exist with dx12
It doesn’t support it
If you need to turn shadows to low, you shouldn’t be using dx12
strange falcon
dx12 is for the big boys
zealous basalt
Dx12 is for

does dx 12 lower fps

dynamic weather my boy
tropic trail
ohhh my goddddd
tropic trail
like a month old on live? or like a month old in beta
hollow dock
beta. Sometime last month or the month before it was released that Dynamic weather would be in BFA
hollow dock
There were hurricane winds in Borealus
hollow dock
Neither do I. I just read wowheads articles o;
restive sage
does anyone know why my character is barefoot
tropic trail
oof
restive sage
he has boots on in live but not on the ptr
tropic trail
is there nothing in the feet slot?
restive sage
yup
tropic trail
oh what
restive sage
luckily i found some in my back pocket
tropic trail
that is extremely odd
restive sage
did they really remove the effect on whirlwind
nvm
how do you do the new um
thing in the ptr
hollow dock
there is nothing new on the PTR
hollow dock
it's just hte basics of prepatch atm. which is all the hard changes
restive sage
legion epilogue
hollow dock
nothing else is available
restive sage
then what is that
hollow dock
When blizzard decides
restive sage
why does it say that on the whats new page
hollow dock
Because of reasons and blizzard is a cruel god

grafics r so much better in bfa

Artifacts
More like

So
The one who said
How can I make the download of the beta less worse?
untold fractal
i know some are saying copy over the existing wow files or something like that
zealous basalt
ohh
untold fractal
i would google the exact process first though
zealous basalt
someone advised me about the garbage collection

dont take my word on it

They are giving out beta access! Give me your prayers to RNGezus

The new wave already went out, so if you have it you have it now

Forever without beta 😦
polar sigil
guys, is the ptr character copy working? or
tropic trail
only works on certain realms
polar sigil
im changing realms and nope
tropic trail
thats odd
polar sigil
does it have to do anything with game time xD
tropic trail
no it shouldn't

Hi guys
Got some questions for you as seems like best place for em
I'm blind and I've been playing Wow for just under a year now (big break after BC)
I'm able to play the game mostly thanks to add ons like GTFO, DBM, IceHud, move anything and Tom Tom.
Does anyone know if those addons work in BFA currently I'm interested in giving the Beta a go again and the twitch app isn't very responsive to my text reading software.
zealous basalt
So
i added the prepatch stuff to the beta
It fixed it
Only 843kb remaining
i mean 39mb
So
I can say that
If you have Prepatch PTR, you can use it
uncut vault
DBM, GTFO, and TomTom are always updated, I dont know about the others but unless they're really integral changes addons, they should still work till the creator updates it
polar sigil
Nope still no copy option up for all the realms yet, they may activate it tomorrow or something
teal bramble
Move anything is the only one it allows me to move quest dialogues to the centre of my screen so I don't have to turn and lean in to see the text.
Thanks for letting me know about the others.
uncut vault
That sounds pretty simple, and other more intensive addons like it work on quests on the beta so it should work without updates just fine
dense pier
I copied a character to ptr last night just fine
zealous basalt
So
before character copy was a thing in the beta..
Did youu have to level everything?
uncut vault
yeah you still can make the default 110s
but I dont expect many people to because character copy
only one I still have is the one I leveled to 120 and my allied race/new anims testers
zealous basalt
I mean, I wanted to try all classes at the current levels
And test both horde and alliance
meager warren
well, part of it is on ptr right?
restive sage
why is bfa beta so much better than bfa pre patch
hollow dock
Because beta is the actual launch of BFA patch
PTR is just the prepatch
You'd think that was self explanitory
dense plover
Like - prepatch is in the name - pre - before, patch - the patch
restive sage
i just found a b ig bug
litteraly
if you go to the warrior class hall and select a skin, the weapons get bigger
and if you keep swiitching between them they get bigger and bigger and bigger
tropic trail
that happened in the ptr on my rogue
hollow dock
neat the quest is finally up
zealous basalt
Wat qiest
hollow dock
zealous basalt
ah
ya
tho
i would say that it would be better if it comes out before the pre-patch
unless I am getting the quests missed
The comments
"I want to keep raiding"
hollow dock
people don't realize that the artifacts get disabled regardless of you doing this or not because its prepatch and all the class changes are applied.
zealous basalt
Yeah
But I am asking
Is this going to come before the pre-patch or in the pre-patch
hollow dock
Looks like its in prepatch
hollow dock
What gltiching?
hollow dock
It was supposed to be going out in march but they decided against it
probably for the better
since you'd have to deal with it in all of march
may
and june
So like 4 months of it
that'd get really annoying in all honesty
esepcailly since its supposed to still function normally
zealous basalt
Double >:C
I wanted to see like...
A dramatic way of they going out
Like
"Oh noes, glitch"
Then
"Deactivated"
hollow dock
It is a dramatic way of going out. You're draining the blades energy and it renders the artifact inert
zealous basalt
I guess that works too
But it would have been a cool way to see the ap being drained
Wait, so i have a question
Are the ap tokens usable in those moments or they are permanently disable when pre hits
hollow dock
greyed and sellable
for 25g
you can head onto the ptr to find that out yourself tho
zealous basalt
As the pre hits?
zealous basalt
Yeah I know but I mean---ah
hollow dock
as again the prepatch holds all the class changes
and the artifacts going inert
why would you have ap items that work if you can't gain ap
zealous basalt
Tease
Blizzard likes Teasing
Like
"Oh Let me boost my artifact before going to that quest"
then
"disabled"
I would love to see the forums
So
ptr
den beta
k
zealous basalt
I will go ptr first for the quest
then beta for the betain
(aka do my damn job as beta tester and not just play the xpac)

I see no errors.

how did you manage that?

weird
zealous basalt
i thought you were talking about thedagger
I really like
The minimalistic interface of BfA
restive sage
i was really indecisive on wheter i should get bfa or play ffxiv but now i think imma get bfa c:
it looks so cooooooooooooooooooooooool
zealous basalt
You ain't there for pleasure sir
zealous basalt
We got keys to break the damn game and say where did we fuck it
restive sage
???
zealous basalt
...nothing
Play until your heart's content
Also I would like to note
How bad would it be if we somehow unplugged the sword from the wound...with it falling on Kalimdor
restive sage
you mean that big sword in kalimdor
zealous basalt
Yes
zealous basalt
So
Just did the quest
In my opinion, it needs something at the end...just before delievering the quest
uncut vault
zealous basalt
AHAHAHA
the best thing is
That would be the best artifact because it doesn't loses power
zealous basalt
Hmm
For those in the Beta that remember the Battle for Lordaeron scenario
The thing with the cannonballs when you have to recover them, do you have to put them back on the cannons or just pick them?
Me at the chamber
dense plover
I don’t remember anything about cannonballs in battle for lordaeron
uncut vault
its not that big of an issue, since the ship goes away the second you take the next quest
zinc sandal
Report it for the sake of completeness.
zealous basalt
Seriously though
That galeon is impressive
Also, is there a portal from Darkshore to SW?
zealous basalt
What happened in Boralus

i love the kul tirans

We're in the process of retooling the very-similar Vulpera one, as well.

first two hours on bfa beta, i think survival needs the quality of life change to have serpent sting duration doubled, reapplying it is just tedious. also marksman hunter flows really well, i thought it would be boring but it was methodical. i reported 13 bugs and im not even 111 yet.
this expansion is going to be great
I FEEL IT
only complaint is the dungeon i did was way too easy, the pirate one
even for a normal dungeon
vast mirage
where do i get addons for bfa?
civic warren
you don't
vast mirage
streamers have it?
uncut vault
same way you get normal addons, adding them to the addon folder
hollow dock
and place em in your addon folder
Back to basics when you dont have your curse client
vast mirage
cuz i need some sort of addon for party frames
but i dont know if theres a beta version
uncut vault
grid works fine without beta version
vast mirage
thanks
tropic trail
how do you start the battle for lordaeron and burning of teldrassil?
uncut vault
Battle for Lordaeron you get upon login, Burning of Teldrassil isnt available
Are these guys a reference?

Only time I've seen it snow in SW is when one of those weather crystals is down

Guys, if anyone got access to PTR can you confirm that the pre patch will give all my character the pvp artifact skins, or will they be earned another way? I have a prestige 25 druid, will this unlock the skins let say for my mage.
hollow dock
I believe so? If yoy log into the mage it should have the same level since its account wide.
uncut vault
as far as we know, all of the artifact changes will be implemented in Prepatch, since the mage tower appearances are blocked out, and the new pvp system is implemented
tropic trail
new bfa map looks stretched out when using boats
urban dew
Because people seem to be calling it a filler xpac or something similar to WoD
tropic trail
Oh well, let them be negative
They're probably the people who proclaim wow as "dead"
or complain at the start of every expansion
or sit in goldshire all day
urban dew
I go to goldshire to laugh
But BfA seems to be shaping up to be a pretty interesting expansion
tropic trail
They can cry as loud as they want to when Blizzard doesn't respond to their every wish.
