dense plover
#

im pretty sure that was fixed4

#

all faces exist in the gold eye color

tropic trail
#

Oh my bad then

#

But yeah having one or two beard options under features for undead would please me very much

#

But have it be scraggy and torn

#

as you said

#

because after reading the nathanos story

#

having a beard like that couldnt happen

dense plover
#

not just the nathanos story, before the storm

hollow dock
#

my point is: They don't add in customizations

#

that they don't believe fits

#

due to the races story/history/society

#

Like blood elves were all corrupted and tainted with fel, willingly or not like the orcs, and thus have that shown in the customizations.

tropic trail
#

Listen to God^

hollow dock
#

I'm not god

tropic trail
#

Sorry.

#

Meister*

#

To be fair golden eyes were requested for a very long time

#

also beards for forsaken make sense

#

And it makes sense

hollow dock
#

Im not. I'm just a person that is highly observant of blizzards practices and pays heed to the words of the devs

tropic trail
#

not full glorious beards

#

but scraggy torn up small beards, yes

#

In fact most fantasy genres have undead with beards

#

Just because my dead uncle has a beard doesn't mean they need one though

hollow dock
#

"If you want undead with full beards, the deathknights are waiting for you" - Ion Hazzikostas

tropic trail
#

^^

#

but I dont want to make an alliance

hollow dock
#

I never said alliance

tropic trail
#

He really said that or you memein?

#

i mean I want an undead human with a beard

#

which is a forsaken

hollow dock
#

Deathknight

tropic trail
#

but I would have to be alliance

hollow dock
#

You're not an undead human if you're forsaken. You're just Forsaken at that point

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tropic trail
#

except that's exactly what you are

#

because you died and was raised again

#

by the lich king

hollow dock
#

Not entirely true

#

a decent portion of the Forsaken population are the elves of Quel'thalas

tropic trail
#

Orcs have beards.

#

Taurens have beards.

#

can you play them

#

but they're not humans

#

And?

hollow dock
#

a rotting corpse of an elf is no real different to a rotting corpse of a human.

tropic trail
#

I specifically said I want to play an undead human

hollow dock
#

human deathknights are waiting for you

#

it's literally

#

the perfect combination for you

#

its' undead

#

its human

tropic trail
#

except its alliance

hollow dock
#

and it's bearded

#

done

#

You placed that AFTER us teling it to you

tropic trail
#

and my death knight is on a horde server, with the perfect name

hollow dock
#

So sorry. But if you want an undead that has a beard, the alliance is waiting for you

#

:ionsmug"

tropic trail
#

Okay but forsaken beards would literally not harm a soul, probably not a lore nerd either unless it's some pantene ad looking beard

tropic trail
#

and it's really easy to make too

hollow dock
#

You're assuming a lot of programming

tropic trail
#

explain to me how it's not easy

#

I would like to know

hollow dock
#

Tell me

#

how much do you know about programming and model work?

tropic trail
#

no you tell me

#

Dont change the question

hollow dock
#

C++, Python, etc?

tropic trail
#

JavaScript even

hollow dock
#

I'm needing to elaborate on how much you know about this before I can give you my answer.

tropic trail
#

decent bit, why?

hollow dock
#

So I know what will go over your head and what doesn't

tropic trail
#

just tell me, jesus

hollow dock
#

Take a game right. It's built on shoddy half-written and half-functioning code.

tropic trail
#

He's not Jesus.

hollow dock
#

Add new code ontop of that code.

tropic trail
#

He's about to be yo daddy

hollow dock
#

Bugs arise

#

you fix those bugs

#

but new code is added immediately

#

more bugs arise

#

new code

#

bugs arise

tropic trail
#

It works like a Hydra

hollow dock
#

new code

#

bugs arise

tropic trail
#

You chop off a head, more heads arise

hollow dock
#

Now its been 14 years

#

you can't add an extra slot to your backpacks without breaking half the game

#

If you recall, back in pandaria people asked about the base bag getting some extra slots added. Blizzard responded with "If we added even one extra row of slots to it, it would break most of the game."

#

So much of WoW's old code is so frankenstien'd with the expansions that making even the most seemingly simple changes breaks so much stuff

tropic trail
#

I'm sure adding in Demon Hunters broke a few things too

#

you have a link for that?

hollow dock
#

DHs are still broken

#

to this day

#

Sometimes when fel rushing

tropic trail
#

So are Elemental Shamans

hollow dock
#

the game reads you as cheating

#

and DC's you

tropic trail
#

That could explain a lot then

hollow dock
#

The original WoW developers decided that there would be an array to hold your inventory. The first several entries are things that end up on the paper doll, your head and leg slots and such. After that comes your inventory. At some point they wanted to add a bank to the game, so they added that to the end of the array. Players shouldn't be able to access their bank anywhere in the world, as it would break the code. This was handled by adding lots of statements in different places in the code, defining what the array position was where the inventory ended and where the bank begins. This value was hardcoded all over the place, but it isn't just a simple search to find them all. Some math logic may rely on it being constant. If you want to add slots to the backpack, who knows what you are going to break? It becomes very buggy and error prone, and likely that you are going to make a mistake. This mistake would break the game in a way you don't like. As a result, they would have to put amazing engineers that could be working on new features on a task to look through thousands of lines of code to find all of those cases, as well as the QA department testing every edge case in the world to ensure the change doesn't break anything. This is how we ended up with a fixed size backpack.

tropic trail
#

and yet they keep continuing to add extra customization options

#

I wonder why

#

🤔

hollow dock
#

They havent UNTIL BFA

#

Do you realize

#

how much time

tropic trail
#

Barbershop

hollow dock
#

has passed

tropic trail
#

lmao

hollow dock
#

Barbershop ISN'T the base customization

#

it's its own separate function within the game

#

they've only NOW

#

after 12 years

#

been able to add that into the character creation

tropic trail
#

Now we just gotta wait for the Dance Studio

#

You make a good point but your greatly over exaggerating over two new beard options

hollow dock
#

Im not

tropic trail
#

Not really.

hollow dock
#

I'm really not

#

You have to firstly

tropic trail
#

Minor things can fuck shit up

#

They can

hollow dock
#

make sure adding in the customizations doesn't break anything

#

then

#

you have to do the extra model work

tropic trail
#

so why should blizzard keep doing them

hollow dock
#

to ensure they fit with the model

#

then you have to run it by the art teams

#

then the modeling team again to have it meld with the other customization options forsaken have

#

then

#

you have to run it again with the designers for armor and then it goes back to the modeling department to get made

tropic trail
#

I read that as something else, oops

hollow dock
#

then its sent to the code bois down below

tropic trail
#

alright

hollow dock
#

and THEN

#

you might see it in a PTR build

tropic trail
#

I'll contact blizzard so I can learn more about it

hollow dock
#

only for it all to break anyways

tropic trail
#

because Im truly curious now

hollow dock
#

this is all basic coding 101

#

If you add shit to old code

#

it'll break

tropic trail
#

Well I still want to know more about it

hollow dock
#

I linked you the engineer thing Rys

#

read what I link

#

since you ask

tropic trail
#

No it's fine, they might be happy to help out

hollow dock
#

So you ask for source

#

and refuse to read it

#

OK

tropic trail
#

No

#

I have it open

#

...

#

But you're ignoring it?

hollow dock
#

but you won't read it

#

and still

#

will contact blizz

#

even though

#

this is directly from blizz

tropic trail
#

Yes

#

I want to know more about it

#

because im curious

hollow dock
#

Do you remember what I said about ignorance. I gave you the answer you seek: "Why would it be so hard for them to add in these customizations"

#

and you ignore all the proof and evidence

tropic trail
#

No

hollow dock
#

and would do

tropic trail
#

Im just wanting to know from them

#

more about it

hollow dock
#

I linked you

tropic trail
#

....

hollow dock
#

direct source

tropic trail
#

Mate

hollow dock
#

FROM

#

THEM

#

are you that dense?

tropic trail
#

I will read that

#

I appreciate it

#

and once im done

#

Ill contact blizzard

hollow dock
#

You won't though. Because you STILL haven't

#

even after asking for it

tropic trail
#

and learn more about it

hollow dock
#

you've even admitted to not doing so

tropic trail
#

You get so mad lol

hollow dock
#

[1:53 AM] Vris: but you won't read it
[1:53 AM] Vris: and still
[1:53 AM] Vris: will contact blizz
[1:53 AM] Vris: even though
[1:53 AM] Vris: this is directly from blizz
[1:53 AM] Ryswell: Yes
[1:53 AM] Ryswell: I want to know more about it
[1:53 AM] Ryswell: because im curious

#

Yes

#

I get mad

#

really mad

#

at ignorance

tropic trail
#

Lmao

#

There's a difference between mad, and heavy disappointment.

#

Peach is a great guy

#

and y'all are literally the easiest to troll

#

fml

hollow dock
#

alright. so you admit to only trolling

#

this whole time

tropic trail
#

I think that's good enough to end the chat there, don't you think?

grizzled sleet

Don't fall to old gods whispers

I'm just a peasant that wishes everyone would use as a punching bag.

dense plover

Trolling isn’t allowed rys

#

Stop it

#

Admitting to trolling is like saying “please ban me”

Mage tower NPC not available on EU after reset, maybe a bug?

harsh wedge
#

Maybe will be when it will be at 100% again ?

#

For US they still had 4 hours left when the reset happened so it stayed

May have to finish it first to get it to spawn permanently.

Okay

Too bad he's not Zandalari

The artifact power keeps increasing

Yesterday I had 3

verbal badger
#

well yeah look at your artifact screen

#

you can see it go up

#

and they said it'll keep getting stronger

zealous basalt
#

I'm getting afraid now

hollow dock
#

yea its infinitely raising up

#

and next week we'll have an increase to concordance ranks

if Ythisen's is to be trusted

Put your artifact in the bank

and watch them explode

Oh god

What would Knaifu say

hollow dock
#

"I lived bitch" - Knaifu as N'zoth is behind her

frozen dust
#

Boy was that a shock for me the first time I encountered one of them in the wild

zealous basalt
#

a wild knaifu?

frozen dust
#

"Oh boy can't wait to kill this world boss for order hall resources WHAT THE FU--"

#

One of the hounds

zealous basalt
#

ah

frozen dust

But a knaifu would be pretty surprising too I guess

zealous basalt
#

what would be a nice priest in da horde

#

i has orc dk

Also

I have a belf shadow priest that was inspired by Medea from Fate/Cash Grab

this reply killed me

Hah

hollow dock
#

but.We keep them!

#

The voices keep talking to us in transmog =3

zealous basalt
#

who is sass elemental tho

hollow dock
#

Aluneth

#

he sasses you

#

at all times

zealous basalt
#

He is usually silent with my gnome :C

#

i guess gnomes aren't worthy

hollow dock
#

When you make a mana table for food, he condescendingly asks that this is what you do with the powers of a guardian

#

When you walk around Dalaran, similar sass

zealous basalt
#

Isn't he the one that says

#

"Let them walk"

#

When you open a portal?

hollow dock
#

yup

#

100%

#

sass

zealous basalt
#

Who is more sass-er

#

he or skull

hollow dock
#

Id say him

#

Skull is just a dick

zealous basalt
#

how much of a dick?

#

I haven't gone with him

hollow dock
#

Average legion stuff

frozen dust
#

My favorite part of the skull was how he had actual banter with your demon while leveling

#

That was cool

hollow dock
#

all the demons are his homies

#

cuz he's a demon summoner

zealous basalt
#

Wonder how did Aegwynn survived the sass

hollow dock
#

Aegwynn was a no nonsense mom

#

unlike us, she put Aluneth in his place

zealous basalt
#

lol

#

I remember Aluneth shitting in his pants when he saw her in the tomb

hollow dock
#

he lets us know that every time too

#

its like a rebellious kid seeing their mom on the streets

frozen dust
#

He thought Mom was about to get the belt out

hollow dock
#

Yuuuup. I laughed me ass off.

zealous basalt
#

Does Knaifu still tricks you in Tomb of Sargeras?

hollow dock
#

yup

terse patrol
#

Its weird that they didnt record lines for Knaifu for Silithus

hollow dock
#

or any of the artifacts

#

for being overloaded

#

like not even a complaint

"If my Artifact weapon is at say, 68, can I still upgrade it to lvl 75 for the relic traits in Argus for my alts if I do the questline? I did the quest on my highest lvl artifact alt so it looks like I am stuck at lvl 75 for that alt."

Ughh i'm reading this kind of questions since yesterday, some people don't understand the difference between 75 artifact traits and 75 concordance

ruby star
#

When is EU artefact thing on live

tranquil steeple
#

Now

#

Since reset

ruby star
#

nice thanks

tranquil steeple
#

Just gotta do the Silithus questline post-Argus kill, and you should get the quest to drain the sword's power

ruby star
#

is there a portal to silithus?

#

wait

#

dw

#

Uldum

grizzled sleet
#

You can take portal to Tanaris from Dalaran

#

Caverns of time

tulip sun
#

I heard that doing the mage towers after hyper charging your weapons might be easier?

rich apex
#

Kiiind of easier

tulip sun
#

I have done none of them xD. I was going to give up until I heard it might help a little.

rich apex
#

It's a boost but it doesn't replace better gear

#

Or skill

tulip sun
#

-has 0 skill-

rich apex
#

rip

tulip sun
#

I guess I never really tried any other than my healing monk tho

#

Who knows

grizzled sleet
#

you get like +30% - 40% dps as a tank when the versa proc. more dps as dps too

#

but not sure if healer challenges are going to be easier

tulip sun
#

Hmmm, ok. Probably will be able to do them then

#

Idk about healing

sharp bluff
#

Ahh might have to pick up some time to finally beat that unholy imp mother now

hollow dock
#

At this point kahm

#

Kham*

#

Unless youre a fresh 110, dps isnt an issuen its just mechanics

#

And even then if you can zerg it, you ignore half of them

grizzled sleet
#

nah

tulip sun
#

Sounds good.

#

The one i only want is the druid tank tbh

grizzled sleet
#

actually you can follow mechanics but fail to survive at some point, more dps make it easier

hollow dock
#

At 920 I was able to essentially ignore the dude

#

In the tank thing

#

Just cuz blood deals rediculous damage

tulip sun
#

Will they be removed in prepatch?

grizzled sleet
#

yes

hollow dock
#

Yes

tulip sun
#

That seems like it will be soon

hollow dock
#

3-4 weeks tops

grizzled sleet
#

And your artifact will grow stronger each week now

#

more concordance each week

#

until prepatch

tulip sun
#

Well, good thing i have no life

hollow dock
#

(Im fairly certain we said all of this yesterday)

grizzled sleet
#

He was dead yesterday, someone just ressed him

tulip sun
#

I do not pay attention much here anymore

#

Sorry

hollow dock
#

I linked you the wowhead article

#

tulip sun
#

I...didnt go to it

hollow dock
#

...

#

Alright then

grizzled sleet
#

Lazy

tulip sun
#

I am

hollow dock
#

Ima just go back to being annoying then. Seems me being helpful doesnt do much.

grizzled sleet
#

Hope is not lost, @hollow dock . The spark of life still flickers within these mortals

#

Looking forward to see Kultirans and Sethrak walking the streets of stormwind, it should bring some diversity to stormwind

mint arch
#

i do regret not lvling a druid for the mage tower appearance

#

most unique forms

grizzled sleet
#

You can still do it

mint arch
#

i dunno

#

from lvl 1-110 then gearing for it

grizzled sleet
#

Leveling to 110 will take you 3-5 days, gearing takes 2-3 days

#

and you go get them

sudden pollen
#

Just slam face into argus when you hit 110

grizzled sleet
#

if you got the 880 leather account-wide gear you can use it to gear too

mint arch
#

hmmm

grizzled sleet
#

and there is some tips to level quickely 1-110 that can help you too

#

Stockades and some BC dungeons farming with a 110, and Karazhan trash etc...

#

90-100 is pretty easy with bonus objectives

#

100-110 legion invasions

tulip sun
#

Ya, the druid forms are the only ones i REALLY want

#

The oyhers i can live withoit

#

Oyhers*

#

They are so unique

#

Especially the tank

mint arch
#

indeed

#

the only others that are unique

#

are the warrior/paly tank flails

hollow dock
#

I mean. You dont even have to work that hard on gearing yourself

#

it's the legendaries that'd be tha hard bit

#

since you can rush into argus and get 910 gear pretty fast

mint arch
#

aye, its kiiinda not possible

hollow dock
#

and with the instant concordance75

mint arch
#

since u do need legendaries

hollow dock
#

Eh not entirely. I managed to do the DH one with only the Argus legendary. (the ring)

#

mage tower that is

mint arch
#

havoc?

hollow dock
#

yup

mint arch
#

havoc was real easy

#

i think both havoc and veng

#

are easier

hollow dock
#

I can see tanks at least wanting the uh.

#

Pyrdaz.

#

prydaz*

mint arch
#

ya, tanks ull need

#

i dunno, i just wish blizzard would just announce the fcking date for pre-patch

#

so i dont waste my time lvling for no reason

#

-_-

hollow dock
#

I mean

#

if you level in prepatch

#

no mage tower apperance

#

so you're not wasting your time leveling your druid

#

O.o

ruby star
#

Prepatch is probably on the 10th or some point after next week , as sadly independence day gets in the way

mint arch
#

10th does seem most likely

hollow dock
#

My bet is on the 17th

#

Ythisens eluded at least 2 weeks of the concordance rising up

ruby star
#

Yeah it's either 10th or 17th

uncut vault
#

And also why would they test the prepatch a week after prepatch launches

ruby star
#

both dates I can see possibly happening

hollow dock
#

Port rises up a good point

#

They have hardly tested any of the prepatch content

uncut vault
#

Plus the 28 days that War of the Thorns lasts on the PTR lines up perfectly with the 28 days from the 17th to August 14th

hollow dock
#

is that what theyre calling this?

#

not the burning of teldrassil anymore? :p

uncut vault
#

The full prepatch is called War of the Thorns, final darkshore week is still burning of Teldrassil afaik

ruby star
#

Look forward to grabbing the mounts

mint arch
#

hm, guess there is time

ruby star
#

hmmmm 🤔

mint arch
#

what's the matter

#

thats a blood elf model

#

so obviously a horde character

#

are u seriously expecting logic and past here >:

ruby star
#

Nope

#

she is loyal to varain and his son

#
Wowpedia

Valeera Sanguinar, along with Broll Bearmantle, was a companion of Varian Wrynn. She eventually became an enforcer for the New Council of Tirisfal, and accepted the position of an advisor and bodyguard to Varian in Stormwind, with the caveat that she retain her independence.

mint arch
#

i know xD

#

i was being /s

ruby star
#

oh xD

mint arch
#

xP

#

i legit have nooooo idea how the hell blizzard thought she should be on horde side

#

literally none

#

and i legit think it must be "blood elf model = horde character"

ruby star
#

yeah

tropic trail
#

just be like red shirt guy and tell em

zealous basalt
#

She our spy ofc

#

Shes on the Horde side because shes spying

thx

hollow dock
#

fuckin weebs

tulip sun
#

The npcs mean absolutely nothing guys

grizzled sleet
#

I wish they added Anduin holding Xalatath

#

and Sylvanas holding Thas'dorah

hollow dock
#

Why would Veressa hand that to her

grizzled sleet
#

I don't see any artifact matching Sylvanas except that

hollow dock
#

Right. But why would vereesa hand Sylvanas that weapon

grizzled sleet
#

What if Sylvanas steal it murloc

hollow dock
#

She'd risk war with an order hall =x

grizzled sleet
#

🐸

mint arch
#

sure she would

#

more bodies

tulip sun
#

Neither of them had anything to do with order halls

hollow dock
#

What do you mean kham?

#

Vereesa is who accompanies us to grab Alleria's bow LOL

uncut vault
#

I mean, it should be Vereesa or Alleria on the boat sacrificing the bow but that’s just me >_>

#

But halduron works I guess

strange falcon
#

i believe the people are different for each faction?

#

is that true?

tulip sun
#

I meant Sylvanas and Anduin

hollow dock
#

its not dafire

#

its the same 5

strange falcon
#

okay

hollow dock
#

They segregated us for no reasons on this one since we are still apart of Legionfall at this point in the timeline

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

uncut vault
#

Magni even says tensions are rising but our orders are still united as one

hollow dock
#

I imagine what breaks the order halls is, surprise, Sylvanas' attack onto Ashenvale and Teldrassil

zealous basalt
#

explodes

#

Legionfall was just a 'one objective' only tho

hollow dock
#

It wasn't Mak

#

Legionfall is the faction of the united Order Halls against the Legion

tulip sun
#

The people in the order halls mostly are still loyal to their factions

#

I imagine some may stay

#

But ya

#

Liadrin for example would leave, i inagine Aponj

#

Aponi

sharp bluff
#

Death knights would go back to the lich king 😉

hollow dock
#

they are.

#

but we're apart of Legionfall still. Not segregated by the factions

#

Well

hollow dock

is the point we're making Khamnin

The death knights seem to be...like 50/50 with LK

hollow dock
#

Oh we're more like 90/10

sharp bluff
#

the horsemen for sure are pro-Lich King

zealous basalt
#

Well, Darion seems to be hessitating a little when he tells us where to go due the conflicts with the other races

sharp bluff
#

I think only the player, the Belf guy, and some of the npcs in the hall are not fully for him yet

#

like the Janitor

hollow dock
#

the player can't be

sadly

#

but the four horsemen?

#

100%

zealous basalt
#

I think for Nazgrim

sharp bluff
#

Ya the fourth one was raised pro lich king, not fishy at all

zealous basalt
#

Strangulate > LK

#

....Didn't Ice Walk lowered the fall damage?

hollow dock
#

nope

#

never has and never will.

#

If anything, it makes drops even more deadly

since you hit water like it was a solid surface. happens with all water walking

Damn it

Stupid me thinking i was playing with monk

I just...dropped off mount above highmountain

yours needs to be crafted or bought GWqlabsKek

zealous basalt
#

laughs in chi flight

#

So I have a general question

#

What are the requeriments for a class to be considered a "Hero Class"?

#

Just high level?

dense plover
#

story reasons

#

generally already been a hero for a while

#

demon hunters were trained before and during BC, then went to mardum, then were imrpisoned

#

so theyre already trained

#

death knights are raised heroes who are then taught to use death magic and stuff

#

so they already had experience too

zealous basalt
#

Ah

hollow dock
#

it's essentially a prestige class in D&D terms. Your character progresses upwards away from their old life into this new o ne

#

For DHs, the elves abandoned their old lives to fight the legion.

For DKs, heroes sacrificed themselves on the frontlines against the scourge and were risen to serve.

zealous basalt
#

DKs seem a little dicky, being an hero and all just to be raised to serve

tranquil steeple
#

Well, they're being raised by the enemy they fought in life

hollow dock
#

^

#

To the undead, the living are just a potential resource

tranquil steeple
#

And then turning on them, as they progress the intro quests

zealous basalt
#

But in your opinions, are the new powers better or worse?

hollow dock
#

What new powers? o:

zealous basalt
#

Waait wait wait

#

I just noticed...

#

Are lightforged the only ones that can't be monks of the new allied races?

terse patrol
#

yes

hollow dock
#

Yea.

#

Void elves are former blood elves

zealous basalt
#

I never noticed it before

hollow dock
#

monks make sense

terse patrol
#

Kul Tiran monks because idk

hollow dock
#

highmountain and the Nightborne have had monks with them

tidal shuttle
#

I'm upset that none of the Horde allied races can be pallies (the ones available on PTR at least)

hollow dock
#

since we train them to fight and all.

#

Nightborne aren't much for paladins

#

Highmountain never took on the sunwalker stuff

terse patrol
#

@tidal shuttle Zandalari I’m 90% sure will have paladins.

#

And Kul Tirans I’m 90% sure will have Shamans

tidal shuttle
#

Yeah, but I'd prefer to not be a troll. 😮

#

But you're right, that's all but confirmed for them now

lone marten
#

The Troll paladin loa is killed in a dungeon in zandalar so thats why zandalar trolls cant be paladins

#

Lore Byatch

terse patrol
#

Then you’ll need to wait for a future allied race

#

@lone marten ahem

hollow dock
#

And that same loa is apparently

#

resurrected

#

with the recruitment scenario

lone marten
#

Ahemm

hollow dock
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lone marten
#

Oh

terse patrol
#

Yeah.

#

So.

lone marten
#

Me sa dis not know sa

tidal shuttle
#

I'm looking for some 120 gameplay insights as I didn't get beta (yet!), anyone play a bunch of classes and willing to share their experiences?

zealous basalt
#

In the future

#

everyone will be paladins

hollow dock
#

Not much changes honestly

#

110 to 120

#

No new spells or talents change anything

terse patrol
#

Kul Tirans don’t really follow the Light, but they have Shamans (Tidesages)

hollow dock
#

mostly just azerite and we dont have all the azerite

zealous basalt
#

Hmm

hollow dock
#

So really, how youre playing now is most likely how they'll play at 120

zealous basalt
#

Is it good that we don't have talents and skills for Azerite traits?

tidal shuttle
#

So Arms/Fury feel very similar?

hollow dock
#

(on the PTR that is)

#

Fury is much better now

#

on the PTR than live

#

Arms too

terse patrol
#

What classes do you think Sethrak would have?

tidal shuttle
#

That's interesting that they aren't changing too much.

hollow dock
#

I think its a bit of a mistake

#

but eh.

terse patrol
#

Sethrak paladin. woke

hollow dock
#

this is the best balance WoW has had for its classes in PVE for a long time

#

so Im not really going to complain much

strange falcon
#

vulpera paladin khadgarface

terse patrol
#

no reeeee

zealous basalt
#

I am sure

#

sethrak will have rogues

#

to be sneaky sneks

terse patrol
#

san’layn paladin khadgarface

tranquil steeple
#

Sethrak's gonna get all the "edgy classes", and only those :^)

terse patrol
#

junker gnome paladin tho

sharp bluff
#

Can't wait to make me a Trolladin

strange falcon
#

both vulpera and sethrak are very likely to get shamans,vulpera for their datamined text of a story with a water elemental "teaching them how to use the elements" and the sethrak because one of the big roles in their society is skycallers,which are basically shamans using lightning

hollow dock
#

all I care about is waging a holy crusade against hte feeple

#

the sneeple will reign supreme

terse patrol
#

I could see Sethrak getting the same classes as Mag’har

strange falcon
#

sethrak priest would look cool indeed

terse patrol
#

Holy snakes.

zealous basalt
#

...Do nightborne get spared of questing in suramar?

hollow dock
#

Nope

#

No one does

#

if you want the logistics as to why

sharp bluff
#

Holy snakes I think would operate like trolls, loa give-ith loa take-ith

hollow dock
#

ask yourself why a nightborne is helping the horde in cataclysm era quests

strange falcon
#

well,nightborne get 6/12 quest chapters done

#

instead of 0/12 like a new character

zealous basalt
#

Yeah

#

That's why I am confused

strange falcon
#

in suramar i mean

zealous basalt
#

I don't have problems with suramar

#

is just...

#

the torture of before

uncut vault
#

You joke about sethrak paladins but their guards actually do use holy heals

strange falcon
#

yeah,i've seen that

zealous basalt
#

If Blizzard could expand the term Paladin

steel venture
#

I would gladly take Sethrak and Zandalari prelates. >> <<

sharp bluff
#

Well considering we will get Zandalari Paladins, i think they are trying to expand it

#

(no they haven't said it officially, but it is the only missing class on the horde side, it will happen)

strange falcon
#

if we got with "class balance between factions",with zandalari paladins,we could very well get sethrak paladins

#

to get both factions equal

sharp bluff
#

no?

#

It is the opposite of Kul Tiran Druids

strange falcon
#

the opposite of kultiran druids are zandalari druids

sharp bluff
#

One class that you only get one of for the allied races

strange falcon
#

you mean the vanilla situation where shamans were horde only,and paladins ally only

tropic trail
#

Vulpera paladins

strange falcon
sharp bluff
#

no the new philosophy where each side needs one of each class for the allied races

#

🤷🏻 take it as you will though

strange falcon
#

🤔

sharp bluff
#

Alliance needed druids so they gave them one with Kul Tirans

#

Horde needs a paladin so... Zandalari

#

unless somehow we get AU pally orcs, but we both know that won't happen

strange falcon
#

we already know maghar classes

sharp bluff
#

exactly

#

so the only race left that gets the missing class is Zandalari, the only real question is

#

do we rez the old Loa? or does someone else supply the Trolladins their power

#

Also snake paladins would be cool

strange falcon
#

i bet we will have a custom scenario for that,maybe their recruitment quests involve reviving their loa or something?

sharp bluff
#

Either way, trolladins and Bear druids will be worth it

grizzled sleet
#

Sethrak shouldn't be paladin

#

It doesn't make sense

strange falcon
#

now please proceed to explain how sethrak paladins doesnt make sense, just like how "vulpera dont make sense for the game" or many other "doesnt make sense" that have been thrown around

sharp bluff
#

well at this point, just kinda having fun with the idea of snakes being playable Mimig

#

which as far as we know, they won't be until proven otherwise

strange falcon
#

in the end,blizzard will put whatever classes they want on the race,making sense or not

#

like how maghar priests dont make sense as far as i know

#

but they did it anyway

grizzled sleet
#

They do

#

Shadow priests

strange falcon
#

by that "1 spec make sense,so the whole class does" that's the reason why lightforged draenei can be shadow priests or undead holy priests

hollow dock
#

Uh

#

Maghar have been at peace with the draenei for 30 years

#

There are orcs who did learn the ways of the light in that time

zealous basalt
#

allied clases death knights

hollow dock
#

That wont happen until a new scenario can be made

grizzled sleet
#

no DK or DH as allied race on BFA

#

but they said that it can be

strange falcon
#

they said they want to do it,not now

grizzled sleet
#

after BFA

hollow dock
#

In the future after BFA its a good maybe

#

Like everything else

#

Its not off the table

#

Just not now

uncut vault
#

I doubt we’ll ever get new DH’s, but they’ll probably revamp the DK starter zone whenever Bolvar becomes relevant

#

Lore wink wink nudge nudged at it in the April QnA

hollow dock
#

Its watcher you gotta watch

#

Not lore :p

strange falcon
#

lore just says "that sounds good"

grizzled sleet
#

They can make them travel to meet Illidan and became DH murloc

hollow dock
#

Dont need illidan to make DHs tho

grizzled sleet
#

And you use Sargeras as a dummy

zealous basalt
#

"You have traveled from Azeroth to the Seat...just to see me?"

#

"...You are not prepared, if that's what you want."

hollow dock
#

I imagine its like the big bad wolf

#

In karazhan

strange falcon
#

illidan is a tourist attraction for fanboy/girls DHs

uncut vault
#

Anyone can emulate being a DH, especially considering some of the illidari seem to be independents

grizzled sleet
#

If we need more DH, they must bring more demons

uncut vault
#

But with how the starter zone now, gonna be a long while till we get new races

hollow dock
#

Wouldnt even have to emulate it. The rituals are known by each DH. Making new ones isnt the issue. Just the technical side is.

zealous basalt
#

"Runa away little girl"

#

"run away"

grizzled sleet
#

Dh allied race will start at lvl 20, with a separate starting zone, so it's not an issue

hollow dock
#

Everytime we run kara lower. We make him say it once

#

DHs start at 70

terse patrol
#

Sethrak demon hunter go

hollow dock
#

Er

#

98*

uncut vault
#

98

hollow dock
#

Not 20

#

Thats another hurdle. Convincing a system to override its override

#

The other is just the quest not making sense

#

While we cant help it for out door world content we can for phased content

grizzled sleet
#

Allied races DHs may start at lvl 20, with a different starting zone

hollow dock
#

Hence why half of suramar is skipped

#

They wouldnt mim

#

DHs are coded to start at 98

grizzled sleet
#

🐸

hollow dock
#

You dont earn talents until 99

#

Youd level 20-98 with 0 talents

#

Thats bad

#

Real bad

zealous basalt
#

throwback to Lich King

#

And the death knights

#

You get one talent point for each quest done

hollow dock
#

Thad work. IF the old talent system existed

#

Which it doesnt.

zealous basalt
#

Thats why

#

I said

#

Throwback

#

as referencing to when LK was a thing

grizzled sleet
#

Do you think it's possible for the horde to get a new warchief without killing Sylvanas?

hollow dock
#

Why would you give DHs a reference to the LK?

#

And if you meant DKs, thats what DKs are in a sense.

terse patrol
#

I think we’ll get new DK races soon.

grizzled sleet
#

Soon™

uncut vault
#

Sylvanas will likely be the last warchief, Horde will either disband or become council-led after her

#

I can’t see them doing warchief roulette again

terse patrol
#

yeah

#

tbh it should have become a council when Thrall stepped down.

tropic trail
#

Oligarchy!

terse patrol
#

The idea of a warchief is outdated.

#

The first Warchief ever was Blackhand

#

So ye

verbal badger

horde disbanding will happen when wow is retired

#

and not a moment sooner

tropic trail
#

I'm curious to see what's for WoW's 20th anniversary :^)

grizzled sleet

A mount, a pet and toys, 20 toys

tropic trail

WoW goes free to play too

grizzled sleet
#

for 20 days

tropic trail

20 years*

hollow dock

I dont see why. WoW is still pulling in decent numbers for subs

tropic trail
#

i'd be down for a council

sharp bluff
#

A ground mount, a murloc pet, a (insert generic toy here)

tropic trail
#

A murloc mount

hollow dock
#

Because the vancleef and inflatable thunderfury toys were generic

#

LAPTOPS, ALL OF YOU

tulip sun
#

I hope they continue the story in some form after wow stops(which wont be for a long time).

hollow dock
#

that's what warcraft exists for Kham

tulip sun
#

My favorite idea is a mass effect/dragon age type game, which obviously would never happen. But ya, more RTS games would be neat i suppose.

hollow dock
#

I wouldn't want blizz to do that.

#

I dont think they could successfully do it. They tried in SCII

#

it didn't pan so well

tulip sun
#

I never played that. They could always hire others to do it xD

hollow dock
#

to many writers makes things inconsistent and take longer :x inefficient

terse patrol
#

Having two to three writers covering the overall plot and politics is good. Then have smaller writers for fluff lore, which is run by the main writers

#

I dont like though that WoW has a different writer for horde and alliace.

#

Alliance*

hollow dock
#

works well for Bioware.

#

but not so much for WoW or blizzard

terse patrol
#

It created weird bias.

#

Creates*

#

I’m ok with one side winning for an expansion.

#

Like, Cataclysm was arguably a big Horde expac.

hollow dock
#

only because they didn't finish the alliance side >_<

terse patrol
#

They always do Alliance stuff second

#

Which pisses me off

dense plover
#

i mean

tulip sun
#

They can just give bioware freedom xD. I love their games.

dense plover
#

we havent seen the jaina stuff, which i guess fits that point, but i would rather have a cool story surprise

tulip sun
#

Hmm

dense plover
#

although thats not always the case

tulip sun
#

Jaina...eh

dense plover
#

also, horde aesthetic is 100% easier for artists

#

there are so many different styles to pull from

#

alliance has only a few, and some of them cant be used

#

like draenei architecture isnt used for new structures because they dont have the materials

hollow dock
#

it takes more work but there's just as much that can be used. but since they dedicate so much less time to it

#

they don't get as much out

dense plover
#

i mean, not always true

#

it really depends

terse patrol
#

Blizzard writers already said that they enjoy writing for the horde more

hollow dock
#

^

dense plover
#

thats probably true

hollow dock
#

that's the clear bias that we're arguing Peach

dense plover
#

writing about humans in a fantasy world sucks

hollow dock
#

Alliance isn't only humans

#

they refuse to give anything else in the alliance any form of relevance

dense plover
#

no, its just their main political leader and kingdom

#

thats the problem

terse patrol
#

The horde isnt only just humans

dense plover
#

the horde has an orc problem

hollow dock
#

it has an undead problem now tbh

dense plover
#

but theyve gotten better at that

hollow dock
#

which are just humans with rot

dense plover
#

not so much on the alliance side unfortunately

hollow dock
#

because, like I said, they don't dedicate the time to actually fixing our side

dense plover
#

though i have to give credit where credit is due, i think the architecture in the new zones develops human designs and culture a lot more than it does the horde

terse patrol
#

The Night Elves have been the Hordes punching bag since Cataclysm

hollow dock
#

Which makes no sense

#

at all

dense plover
#

theyve done a much better job in bfa than in previous expansions

#

its not perfect, but its much closer

#

having separate leveling zones helps

#

a lot

hollow dock
#

these are the same night elves that pummled Grom's troops that were slaughtering just about anything else at the time, and yet

#

some orcs with a demolisher is suddenly to hard

#

to handle

#

Clearly not biased at all

dense plover
#

yeah i feel they definitely dont do a great job with scale at darkshore

#

i think they need a cutscene showing horde far outnumbering night elves

hollow dock
#

Oh I am just talking Garroshs push into ashenvale

dense plover
#

oh

hollow dock
#

Don't even get me started on the shit show that is Darkshore

dense plover
#

i think they were just caught off guard

#

cataclysm happened and boom - sudden army

hollow dock
#

By having the night elves send *most of their military forces away on boats

#

for darkshore that is

dense plover
#

i mean, its not illogical that anduin would send troops to silithus

#

especially the race that is mainly druids

#

the issue is that the scale of the two forces isnt well represented

#

how many troops each side has isnt clear

hollow dock
#

For cataclysm, they act like the orcs are perfect infiltrators that gave the night elves the absolute slip

#

in their own lands

#

when not a year prior they slaughtered anyone that took a step into ashenvale

dense plover
#

i dont feel like thats what happened - it really doesnt feel that way

hollow dock
#

That's what I got from questing there on the alliance. Just suddenly the hordes there and the night elves are absolutely hopeless to stop them on their own

dense plover
#

it feels like garrosh pushed in IMMEDIATELY following the cataclysm and caught them offguard, gaining a serious foothold

hollow dock
#

which is bullshit

dense plover
#

how is that bullshit? half the forest is on fire from a giant volcano and suddenly theres an entire army - meanwhile your leader is dealing with a giant tornado

hollow dock
#

Its not?

#

a section of it is on fire

#

and that's not even what hte night elves are dealing with

#

they don't focus

#

AT ALL

#

on that

#

the hordes somehow carved out 10-15% of ashenvale

#

off 1 push

#

In terms of logging alone

dense plover
#

again not unreasonable assuming the night elves were dealing with the cataclysm and garrosh pushed his entire army in all in one push

#

100 night elves cant beat 3000 orcs

hollow dock
#

Except heres the thing peach

#

THEY WEREN'T

#

the cataclysm DOES NOT AFFECT ASHENVALE in the slightest outside of the volcano. and that happened after the horde started laying siege to every inch of Ashenvale

dense plover
#

wait

#

hmmmm

#

i mean

#

still could be a numbers thing

hollow dock
#

its bias

#

that's all it is

dense plover
#

ehhhhhh

hollow dock
#

the night elves are mostly prepared for war

#

constantly

#

fighting the horde

#

ont he borders

#

That's what was canon in Wrath

that's ignored and removed in cata

dense plover

retcon maybe

terse patrol

You guys know that Ion has never played Alliance right

dense plover

dont blame Ion

thats fucking shitty

hes one guy

theres a huge team of writers

not the writer

blame the head writer if anything

Im blaming the writers

talking to honk

that aren't golden

Golden is the alliances only advocate atm

tulip sun
#

Blame the alliance writers apparently.

dense plover
#

also, stories change, writing in wow has never been great, but claiming a horde bias is kind of bullshit. We have lost so many leaders its not even funny

#

one of our leaders was a raid boss

tulip sun
#

If they are tepping thr truth about two writing teams

#

I dont get how that is bias

dense plover
#

not to mention how mop had horde as the bad guys

terse patrol
#

The Alliances loses all our leaders to neutrality so

tulip sun
#

Not really

dense plover

alliance has lost 1 main leader in all of wow history

#

literally 1

terse patrol

I said to neutrality not death

dense plover

what does that even mean?

tulip sun
#

Magni?

dense plover

magni is fair

#

2 leaders

tulip sun
#

Is that what you mean?

#

Who else are you talking about

dense plover
#

not like dwarven leader was really active in the first place tbh

tulip sun
#

All other leaders are alliance, they may aid others, but they are ultimately alliance

#

I know it won't happen

#

But I would love a giant confrontation between the horde and alliance

#

Naval warfare-wise

#

What was I saying...I was going to write something. Brain disfuntioning

terse patrol

Anyhow i hope the Alliance gets some vengeance in 8.1 or 8.2

Because we get steamrolled in 8.0

he will fight with them sure

Even under Sylvanas sometime in BfA

ehhhh

doubt that

dense plover

or force her to step down

tropic trail

i wouldn't fight under sylvanas lol

but i refuse to abandon my tauren bro

more likely the second one

Something Sylvanas will do will prove what Vol'jin said.

and he will return

we have to have this moment before sylvanas can stop leading

lone marten

Saurfang for Warchief!!

tulip sun

and she and the forsaken will be more accepted.

dense plover

once that moment happens he can take over

tropic trail

i'd be down for saurfang

dense plover

its likely

tropic trail

or baine

fucking baine

dense plover

since its really unlikely sylvanas will recieve a major personality shift

He lead the joint army to kill C’thun. The Might of Kalimdor. I think he’ll lead the “Legionfall” of BFA.

tulip sun

She will either continue leading at this point(I doubt it, but possible), or willingly step down.

dense plover

the joint army was an allied army

tulip sun

We already know she hates the job

he was still a proud member of the horde
