but the stories are still relevant for leveling, and that would still require a 110 character and doing the scenario
i think it works out
I for one hope they keep the rep because it takes like, maybe 30 min to an hour per day for about 2 wks to get exalted with all legion factions
And i mean, rep is basically progressing in the relevant factions trust so idk
And DI/Maghar are for testing most likely
Yeah I doubt theyll take out the rep, nor do they really need to
allied races arent normal races, theyre tied to their story
They wont be available at launch(without doing the stoof)
they might have chosen some annoying factions for the first two alliance, but the other six are very integrated in their story, and give a lot of rep from the story alone
give it till friday then we can worry
sethrak clearly an allied race
Have they made sethrak with snitties?
Stop that
Do we know what if anything is going away FROM the prepatch when BFA goes live? Aka, do I need to rush a Horde up to 110 just so I can get all the permanent unlocks that come over the event? (Aka the mount?)
No, that's before Prepatch.
I'm specfically asking about prepatch content that would go away with BFA launch.
if you get the teldrassil hippogryph you get the undercity plaguebat on horde
atleast thats how it works on the ptr
Even if I don't have a 110 horde?
yup
and that's the only difference unlock wise other than experiencing the story which I can resort to a video for if needed?
yes, though I recommend doing it, as its quite good
If I didn't need to be even remotely close to 110 I'd do it while its fresh in an instant, but there's no way a boost is in my budget, and I have 0 horde characters. If Blizzard would make the DH unlock account-wide instead of server I'd be fine. Or even if they did a way with the 1 per server limit since gold missions are going poof.
I'm a super new player, but my understanding is there's no low-level version of the event or massive way to level up like the legion prepatch.
Thank you both @restive sage and @uncut vault . None of my guildies could figure it out 😃
only takes a week or so to get 1 to 110
Before zone scaling I'd have believed it. Its just so slow now, even with heirlooms.
i got 1 to 25 in a day
it took me about a week
to level from 1 to 90 on my first charachter
then i started not caring at all
Since you're all well informed. Are Legion paragon caches/emessary caches still giving gold after pre-patch/BFA. Debating whether or not I should push my characters to the next level to clear off their chests.
DH unlock is account wide
how much gold tho
you just can only have 1 per server
DH account ISNT account wide. I've tried going to another server and rolling one.
You still have to have a 70+ character on that realm apparently.
hmmmmm
lemme check
wait
cant you make a dk now on any server
and just get that to 70?
i mean
they start at 58
so you only have to level 10 levels or so
I'm told that works.
60-80 is the dead range of slow leveling though.
Plus, I dont even know if you start with enough money to cover flight
i mean
you only need to get to 70
and leveling in wrath isnt that bad
also you unlock base flying by default
i think
that was added in 7.3.5
I remember my paladin having to run back to unlock flying..but that might have been me not quite hitting 60 before 7.3.5
hmmmm, it might still be locked
but i dont think its that expensive
and if you ask nicely in general chat, people will generally help
@uncut vault Used your quote...where did you find it? 😮
Zandalar Forevah!
Where is this info!? xD
its just currently unmodified
ignore flooded mulgore
thats just a result of how maps are coppied
anything below sea level looks flooded
same thing happenes with ungoro on the silithus sword map
what about it
So, random question, but it's BfA relevant in that I will need it for BfA now that I've finished all the quests... Does anyone have a suggestion for the best auto-quest (Accept/Complete) mod? I want to use it for my initial few days of questing in BfA.
dugi questing does a good job, but it might take a while to be updated, and it has a lot of features you might want to disable - though its easily customized to disable everything you dont want
Specifically looking for something that ~is~ being actively maintained, potentially already working for BfA as well.
They announced the end of pvp season being the 17th
Last I checked, the last PvP season before the next xpac always ends on prepatch day
Yeah, probably one week left.
Warlocks are looking op
theres nothing i know of tobias
dugi is being actively maintained, it just isnt updated yet
itll probably be updated the day of or the day after
actually
i imagine itll be updated over the course of prepatch
so itll work fine for bfa
And with that, we're finally done. Woo. Two nice-looking guides involving everything we know about Vulpera / Sethrak, heh.
Dugi... Well, okay, I'll go look it up. ^_^;
Whats with Jaina in a boat with the boat man from the river Styx
no clue but hers seems to be current day only
azshara and sylvanas both have flashbacks
Why did blizzard add the wod LoW into these... we wanna forget that expansion
What exactly is spoilers about the calendar though? I mean, it’s BfA stuff sure, but there’s nothing new I think
This is all stuff we already know right?
we didnt know who was getting the three animated shorts, or what theyd be about (aside from one centering on teldrassil)
Oh ok
6 new art shots too
Yeah, I think the Jaina boat one might be related to her being cast out to that isle off stormsong valley
would explain why we havent been getting them yet this close to prepatch, stretched out over the whole launch, not just before the prepatch
Guy, I need some advice.... I just can't decide what I want to main for BfA. Its a hard draw between sub rogue and arms warrior. I like both but don't have the time to play both....
My main focus is M+ and PvP. Any advice? What do you think is the "safer" option or overall favoured spec in this upcoming patch/expansion?
Well, I'd go arms as it has better off alt-specs, and is a generally well received spec going into the xpac so getting groups will be easier
Is fury good
Very
I heard they have an aggro problem in dungeons due to the aggro reduction on tanks. but this is only second hand information, since I don't have beta access myself
Meh, you just need to use taunts and aoes as a tank now. It isn’t optional anymore
It’s only noticeable if the tank doesn’t taunt or use aoes
And is never a problem with bosses
So it will be a problem with every random tank in the game, who doesn't know crap :^) and peopel will search for dds with anti aggro mechanics, to compensate bad tanks xD
who is more usefull in party of monk(healer) druid(tank) rogue. DK or Hunter?
How does DH compare to other mele dps in bfa?
I've heard only good things about DH
its getting more complex / fun to play, remains good dps / mobility, many different builds in talents possible
Nice ok thx :)
Do you know a good DH Twitch streamer?
nope. sry
I would probably stick to DH, but got bored by melee as I mained it almost whole Legion
@sage idol I've been playing DH on the beta and so far, it's VERY GOOD. The class is barely affected by the GCD changes.
Ok sounds nice :)
a lot of the classes are hardly affected by the GCD changes at this point. With the changes they've made since alpha's start.
Yep
But r/n the warrior and the dh has the top tier fun class to play as melé dps
Paladin is dull as always
The cat feels old
Very gimmicky
And the shaman... eh
I don't really dig into shaman lore ain't my thing
BfA's mostly continuing the class design of legion, which is different strokes for different folks
@uncut vault Yeah looks like azhsara,jaina and slyv thing were getting
Still there are some classes that start the xpac on a better position on the fun tier
definitely some better on the design tier going from legion to BfA
in terms of who got attention vs who got some artifact stuff slapped into their talent tree and called good
Looking forward to Slyv short animation though also not looking forward to it
Looking forward to it because she;ll be a High Elf at that point before her death it looks like it, but they will try make it look like shes not 100% evil or make us sympathise for her
well, it looks like theyre drawing parallels between her and arthas
undead leader marches on a land of elves and kills a ranger leader
have you read this? (BFA related) https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/8y5iww/bfa_my_thoughts_going_in_long_read/
I have, its a good read, decent opinions
Yea
for all you snake fans in here,we just noticed this
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/424120880340140033/466727756072353792/Seth650.gif
Sethrak received an updated ReadyBow animation that matches the newer player animations. Old one is on the left, new one is on the right.
For a comparison, Blood Trolls still use the old ReadyBow posture, as they are not being maintained. This shows us that Sethrak are being maintained for some unknown reason, when compared to the confirmed non-playable Blood Trolls.
A lot of people seem to think BFA is going to fail (I don't)
probbaly an allied race maybe, but if alliance get them I guess it;s better then getting furries
@urban dew ^^^
ye,he knows already
ah okay cool
also,""many"" people think bfa is going to fail
because of the many remarks of blizzard saying "we ran out of time"
I don't agree with them that BFA is going to fail @strange falcon
and the fact,that the classes arent ""as fun"" because no legendaries + gcd
Ran out of time might mean more along the lines of that they couldn't get in all that they wanted
But that happens in practically every expansion
[Stares at WoD]
WoD was more of a planning fail
I don't see any cut content so far
They had some really great ideas, but they tried to set an unrealistic release plan
I only have 1 problem with BFA
and that is the ALlied race bias, thats all
apart from that I am loving BFA
I just need High Elves then I'll be happy xD but I hope you get your sneks, Snek! and hopefully birbs xD
I still stand by my speculation that Blizz will give us a ton of allied races
doesnt get high elves >> aLliEd rAcE bIaS
Well the Allied race system so far is pretty bias
to horde
Horde gets all the allied race they want + nightborne as a bonus
Alliance gets a bunch of ass pulls, excluding Dark Iron cause they are pretty cool!
tell me thats not bias?
you didnt want fat humans that can be druids? 🤔
also you may be getting snake people,it would be my only alliance char ever if that was the case,they look KOOL
🤔
well,at least thin human is a kultiran customization
I mean, it's not like high elves won't ever be added
Sure sneks are cool but they don't make up for all the ass pulls we've gotten, I have nothing against sneks personally,
They just said no plans for BfA, which honestly, plans can change
^
we need snitties tho
Stop that
I curse you and your next 50 generations
where did you read they were a customization?
Last I heard, thin humans were only for NPCs
not the players
Im of the opinion that sethrak are a good addition for BfA, and that they should make the high elves relevant in the major story again before adding them as an allied race. Something like conflict in QT, for instance.
there's a lot of different ways they can make the high elves relevant ot the story again. Blizzard just never wants to
After I complete the quest Freehold: A Pirate's End, I can't find Flynn in Boralus Harbor
I mean I aspect Vereesa to be seen at some point in BFA, especially after being relevant in the comic?
what do I do
and yea what Vris said
Relog, leave the area come back, abandon the quest and do again, if any of these do not work: Make a bug report and list all the things you've tried to get him to spawn in.
^
Good good!
wasn't the point of the allied races that they are basically original races but a bit different? Like, special draenei, special tauren, special orcs, special belves...
But everyone says allied sneks are a possibility, so I'm confused
No, you're listening to the people that call them sub-races.
So...
Allied races are races that both factions recruit into their ranks.
Someone on Reddit found what could possibly be future Animated Shorts.
For Horde, that means Vulpera, for Alliance, it most likely means Sethrak
@hard cedar Yeah, Jaina,slyv and ahzara
how's that different from Pandaren? I mean, story-wise we recruited them or smth, right?
All it's meant to do is introduce new races without all the pain and suffering of making a starting zone.
Probably the only thing that bogged them down when adding in new races for expansions
but they do have a special zone for them, at least voids and orcs
Their small hubs are infinitely easier to make than an entire starting area
I personally think that allied races were added so that people will have to level someone, then play through the quests, war campaing, whatever, to be able to get a race they want, and either buy a race change or level this new character and play some more
It's a win/win situation for a lot of people
it was a smart cash grab indeed,and also allied races are very beneficial to new players,as they make the old world more populated with all these people leveling races
A huge money maker for Blizz while also bringing in new races for players
after all, they could just add those allied people to someone else's starting zone, wasn't it like that with gnomes and dwarves expansions ago?
Gnomes and dwarves always started in the same zone, I thought.
In the end they’re another way to keep attention through the expansion
Both through new things to level, and motivation to do content
gnomes and dwarves used to start in literally the same spot, and then gnomes were moved to new tinkertown, or whatever it's called
Who killed it
I know I'd spend a massive amount of time leveling if Arakkoa and Sethrak were playable.
I don't know, could've been some idiot hitting a pole somewhere again.
Same here Snek but for High Elves
Sounds fun
I'd most likely be leveling each of their classes to max
they need da bitties
I'm fighting for Arakkoa
are basically voids/bloods with night elf voices
I think they got a good shot in BfA
Well, funny thing is in BfA, High Elves started getting their files properly named.
Yep Snek, a lot of stuff done to Hig helves after that Q&A
Showing that Blizzard at the very least cares a little
Better aligned voices, elves that are far more humbled, better models to differentiate the two races to more than just eyes.
Like they outright awknowledge
HIgh elves are different
to blood elves
in game
but what IS the difference between highs and bloods?
I mean, main difference is one is Alliance and the other is Horde
eyes
lore
I'm gonna guess ideals and attitude too
They are a race that's lowered their blood lines, humans have mingled more with high elves than blood and they should be reflective of that.
The High elves are also a far more humbled people than the blood elves as a society, lacking the Sunwell's radiant power and keeping their honor intact by not draining the life essence of creatures and such.
There's also the eyes, hair styles and colors, skin tones would match up but other than that.
Honestly, appearances can be adjusted. Look at Kul'tirans. They're basically stocky humans
High elves should be a bit less lithe than their blood elven counterparts. I actually have a good mock up of one lemme fetch it
High elves HOO RAH
Which I do honestly love
but stocky humans at least don't reuse the same model
Anyway jokes and memes aside
Hence why I was saying appearances could be adjusted
Void elves have the same model silhouette. As do the nightborne.
that image reminds me of half-elves, which are supposed to be a thing apparently
Sethrak and foxes ain't happening
As I said Val, this was pointed out in game.
They should be more human-like than their blood elven counterparts.
That seems like blatant denial
Not entirely half elves, but certainly aren't carbon copies of blood elves.
There's a ton of supporting evidence for Sethrak and Vulpera
that's what makes me think allieds are special existing races, because they just reuse stuff, mostly
Which we see isn't true with Kul Tirans.
yes
Really the only requirements to be an allied race is: nothing really.
You dont even need to be relevant to the story as Void Elves are hella irrelevant to everything until they were forced in
All depends on how Blizzard spins it
@hollow dock you know that until TBC high elves and blood elves were a single race without any differences described right? so how did they change their appearance due to bloodlines in such a short time?
or did I miss something?
lore was shit
bloodline stuff is also related to half-elves
It was unclear, unwritten and hardly edited to fit a modern age.
which is supposed to be something else
Now it is, and now we see IN GAME REFERENCE to differences between the two races
but what's the reason to change that? to justify the difference from blood elves? thats stupid
which is that High Elves are no longer as 'High' as the name suggests. They've let their bloodlines sour with the lesser races mingling with them.
Again
no
it isn't
I've said the reason three times now D=
if you're not reading it. Please don't continue
I understand your description, but what's the reason to even bring this "new" lore? or where is the source of this?
There's also the cutting off of the Sunwell, the humbling of the race since Arthas trampled through, the attitude, ideals and spirit of the high elves are intact. All of these things are what the blood elves do not have.
Theres no new lore
it's in the old lore
Literally
When the high elves fled Quel'thalas
they went to the refugees of Dalaran
humans
they lived with humans
that was when?
ok TBC, thats not ages man
thats like 10 years?
that reminds me, I actually enjoyed that part of Suramar questing where Elisande is all like "kaldorei are this, queldorei are that, sindorei... shaldorei..." there are also faldorei and now we have rendorei....
thirty years
not a single generation of elves
Over thirty years. Nearly 40.
still
NO
not over thirty years
The main faction of high elves in the world are the ones from Dalaran anyways, which has been a mage based mingling of humans and elves for thousands of years
because sane Arthas actually met the newborn Anduin, who is now 18
uhh
still not 40
No he’s confirmed 18
gamepedia mentions several sources which describe his age
Did the team forget that he has a birthday every single year?
like, "it was mentioned there that he's 15" and "x years passed since this event where that was mentioned"
But regardless, 12 years is plenty of time for the high elves who left Quel’thalas to reunite with the high elves in both lodges and in Dalaran
Which gives plenty of ways to make them diverse
unique customization of belf models, basically
and here we are, same model
The void elves had no separate personality or identifying traits beyond purple until Blizz made them up in BfA
but void elves were supposed to be new, high elves arent
And as I said at the start of this maxi: They use the same model because blizz is lazy
New or old is irrelevant
that also raises a question: why do we need voids? What is their significance?
and as I said, there is 12 years since TBC, before that, no blood elves existed... thats not enough time for their appearance to change enough
Hell, there isn't even a requirement to be relevant to the overarching story as Void Elves were literally shoe-horned in
I mean, Sethrak/Vulpera originally used the Worgen/Goblin skeletons
and again Maxi
HIGH ELVES HAVE BEEN WITH HUMANS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
they helped make Dalaran.
nothing new
yes, but belves are around for 12 years
Again
High elves lived on many places
but they were all high elves
for 12 years
for thousands of years
ofc they were...
no
dont b stupid
they werne't
the elves in Quel'thalas
never wanted to leave Quel'thalas
those guys stayed in Quel'thaals
please try to think for a while... why did blood elves leave the alliance? think pls
I've read it's something about their last King
you nincompoop
😄 😄 😄
uhh
now I know you are trolling or stupid
Blood Elves were never apart of the Alliance
The high elves of today never did, the ones in Quel’thalas did, after the second war
And became blood elves
they were made after the high elves withdrew from the Lordaeron Alliance
The high elves of today have always been in the alliance
Quel'thalas was a part of the Alliance
blood elves was just a rename... KaelThas and his army was part of the alliance before a genocide attempt
^
for you, yes
adds to facepalm
Tfw says “aren’t allied races just reskins of existing races” then rants about how high elves, the most requested reskin, would never work because reasons, despite not knowing a thing about current day differences between blood and high elves
uhh, are you talking about me?
Well, this turned into quite the shit show
I was ASKING whether allieds are reskins or if they are supposed to be something else. And that's not ranting, I'm trying to understand that hysterical person who says high elves are different, but explains it in a way that raises even more questions.
Valentine are you against High Elves being added as an allied race?
not really, at least those are an actual thing that is already a part of Alliance. I'm more against voids
Ah yeah, the void elves were defo an ass pull
Indeed.
I like the Nightborne
They used to be Night Elves but then changed over the years.
I think blizzard understands they fucked up with void elves
however it's too late to remove them
sorry, is that argent dawn facebook group here? 😄
Honestly, they could probably do enough damage control to mitigate it just by giving void elves normal skin tones. At least that way people who want High Elves (myself included) would settle down somewhat because, hell, at least it'd LOOK like it.
(void elf hate jokes)
Instead of being like, permanently corpse-rigor blue
Nope
giving void elves normal skin colours would be horrible
it would dilute both of them
Good morning m8s
Morning Makore!
morning! 😛
So, since no one here can explain the difference properly, I decided to look that up. Here's what I found:
"This article is a copy of "The Warcraft Encyclopedia," an official article by Blizzard Entertainment.
[...]
A crucial difference between high elves and blood elves is that no high elves have decided to feed their hunger for arcane magic by draining that magic from alternative sources (now that the Sunwell is useless). Even today, though, a high elf might still succumb to that addiction and become one of the blood elves."
Now, that bit about becoming a belf looks ridiculous, but was this really-really retconned?
nope Makore
We explained it several times now. Using in game differences.
@frosty matrix ye I would be for this, give VE more skin tones and maybe even hair colors / options, to give an option to simulate HE, that would be easy solution which wouldnt hurt anyone I guess
It would make no sense? Why isn't Alleria blue, then?
She just has the void-y voice and goes all blue/purple when she's channeling the void.
Verees aand the silvercovenant and all the other high elves would not have Void Racials
it makes no sense
Even if it was only out of combat, same way Worgen can be in their human forms, but are forcibly transformed in combat
The void elves werent high elves
^
But the Sunwell has been purified, so a fair-skinned, golden-eyed Blood Elf is well within reason
Why give them the high elf skin?
Okay, I googled "high and blood elves in game differences" and it gave me the same results. I'm starting to think "in game differences" is another way of saying "just because"
I'm asking why, when Alleria is also all merged up with the void, she looks like her usual self, save for when she's using the void, and why that can't apply to other Ren'dorei
Since she's the one that's training most of them
@zealous basalt Blood elves were High elves, that means Void elves were one day High elves...
If she's able to do that, why can't they?
sigh
Go ahead and facepalm, but I'm legitimately asking for the reason.
Let's buy them a tan remover
Not for you seb
The differences between a blood and high
Are skin and eyes
And seb
If they were to be like Alleria
Guess what?
They wont be high elves either
the point is Alleria isn't a void elf in the first place
Alleria got her void powers different way than Void elves
The horde is waiting for you
Well no, I'm aware of that. I'm saying that people who are asking for High Elves as a separate Allied Race would likely be content enough with non-void skin tones, same as Alleria
But it isnt possible
But to nitpick, aren't they not Sin'dorei anymore? Same as the Quel'dorei dropped that moniker, didn't those of the void drop the Sin'dorei moniker to take up the name Ren'dorei?
Blizzard knows thats if tehy gave void elves, high elves skin they would get a huge amount of backlash for it
What's the biological difference anyway, now that the Sunwell is purified?
The biological difference would be golden eyes
let's forget that elisande pointed out that there should be a genetic difference.
It might seem like I'm being combative, but my knowledge of Elven lore in the Warcraft is a little thin, so these are genuine questions made out of curiosity.
Same skin difference
They wont
Be
Never again
High elves
And again
Blizzard made them blue violet for one reason
Because if they were to give them their usual blood elf skin
Guess what
They would be just shadow priests blood elves
Before them being in game was a relevant point, high elves used to be able to have all different eye colors other than just blue
And that's when Ion dialog steps in
If you want to play a skinny race
Elf race*
The horde is waiting for you
lol I have a Blood Elf but I don't enjoy the Horde
hard choice then
It's not about wanting it, I was genuinely just asking why.
loads of stuff was done for high elves
Devil's advocate, if you will
Because the staff wants to prove Ion
That he is wrong about the high elf community
I am ok with High elves
Half the devs seem to love doing stuff that directly contradicts shit Ion says immediately after the fact tbh 😂
😄
@hollow dock do you meand this? "Kaldorei? You disgrace a glorious past, hiding in trees and cloaking yourselves in false piety. You have grown as savage as the trolls that skulk about your forests. Quel'dorei? You are peasants playing at nobility, all too willing to mingle with lesser races that dilute your bloodline. You are unworthy of the name High Elves. Sin'dorei? Of all the elves I thought you might understand the choice I made to save my people. Instead you ally with misfits and monsters. Each of you has debased your proud lineage."
That's probably the only thing in lore you can catch on, isn't it?
No
I don't say it's wrong, just saying
Technically, Void Elves COULD become high elves again. They're just missing one crucial thing to do so.
of highborne
Seb
you point out only your opinions and wrong information about Third war, hard to agree with that
Screw that Horde shit. It's all about the Peacebloom, my dude.
high elves having lived for thousands of years in dalaran and not Quel'thalas
isn't an excuse
MaXi why are you so against high elves? please tell me?
High elves helped humans found Dalaran
Yes they did
For long
their bloodlines have been diluted
Since troll wars and stuff
this is why I would say that high elves should look different to ya know
@ruby star I'm not really against High elves, I just don't like when someone spits on facts to prove his point
Only if they've bred with humans, as some have. If they haven't had babies with humans, just hanging out with them doesn't dilute that.
Blood elves and high elves should be different imo
Well
They were different before
Look at the first high elf models
But yeah
@hollow dock I agree with that part about Dalaran etc... but this way they could also get a new name, soem half elves... because High elves were those in Dalaran and also those in Qual'thalas before Third war... and you say in that time they were already different, but still both with the same race name... thats kind of weird
The corrupt sunwell and the fact that they mingled with fel should have mutated them
At least since w3
But we know that Blizzard gets a little lazy with model
if blood elves wouldnt change their name in memory to a bloodshed in Quel'thalas, how would you differentiate them? Who would be the real High elves?
there would be Panda situation
PREPATCH DATE IS HERE
both factions having different factions of High elves, for different reasons
41 THIRSEMBER 2036

Look at us for example
never
hard to create sentences from what you write
I look completely different to my mom, but we're both still humans. I think splitting up Blood Elves and High Elves by pointing out any physiological differences is missing the point entirely.
Also Seb
By your logic maxi, humans shouldn't look different at all. We are the same race so we should all be carbon copies of each oher
other*
Or well
and yes I know that, thats why I pointed out they were different and using the same name
Everyone
I dont see how a high elf should practice void magic
don't try to explain my logic based on things I didn't say
Exactly Makore, giving void elves, high elf skin is stupid, they need to be their own allied race
and you say in that time they were already different, but still both with the same race name... thats kind of weird
this gives the indication that you're saying that they should look the same to be the same race name.
Yeah
the fact that something is weird doesn't mean it's not true, does it?
maybe I use that word wrong
weird to me is like confusing / interesting / dumb mix
You're against me in this argument yes? My arguments is that high elves already should be different because we'd be playing a population of them that elisande described
ones that's ya know
Like....lots of potential
diluted its blood from pure elves.
People are just being biased
and you're saying that it shouldn't. and that them being in dalaran
shouldn't give this result that is already stated
in game
She was referring to Kal'dorei, Sin'dorei, and Quel'dorei alike with that dilution insult
Incorrect
if you would say that for High elves allied race you would specifically take Dalaran elves who lived with humans for ages and became kind of half elves, I would have nothing against it
She was saying they're ALL diluted from the "pure" Highborne
she had a specific quip towards each one, the diluting of blood lines specifically to the high elves
and that they've all turned their backs on the Highborne that is their heritage
I misspoke, I meant "debasing" not "diluting"
But the reason she said that specifically to the High Elves was because they've bred with humans. The quel'dorei like Vareesa who have had kids aren't THEMSELVES diluted.
This argument is not going anywhere
Their children are the dilution, by virtue of being half human.
they dont even have to be half.
Although being half humans should make them better
they can be partly
@strange falcon why denial? I'd love to see that races happening but rationally I realize the probabilities are so low as high elves happening this xpac
The point is that pureblood High Elves are still very much a thing.
half humans re-mingling with high elves to give high elves the prominence in the genetic pool
Just FYI, We don't want half elves, it would be another compromise and would end badly
That would be really bad
More races means more options and id never been or will be aganist
It is bad enough with rpers doing half breedings
I am willing to take more human-looking high elves as depicted here. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dg9-QPmXUAAAUXh.jpg:large
But the so claimed "proofs" are conspiracy theories
That looks like Anastasia
I don't remember who did this model work
but yea maxi. My points are all legitimate to the lore, they don't require retcons at all, they're left ambiguous in lore specifically to be expanded upon at later dates like they did with demons.
And probably quite more examples I'm not aware of
Just blizzard does NOT like writing good things for alliance. the teams on record for favoring horde over alliance in this regard
Bias
what, Vereesa is also a humanized half elf with diluted bloodline apparently
She isn't.
she is a half elf
She's a full high elf because she was born in Quel'thalas
Sure, but it's also about the way you say it, you can't say that blood elves aren't high elves, because they are, just renamed... the differences you mean are elsewhere and long before blood elves even existed, thats important point
No
SHE MUST HAVE DULITUED BLOODLINE THEN

she has moved to Dalaran and lived there.
She is pure elf
she is 100% pure
high elf* I meant
Shitty opinions to the trash pls
but still she is diluted
her children are in fact half elves.
because Vris says so
so yes her bloodline is diluted in that sense
That doesn't mean that she HERSELF is diluted
Just Veressa herself isn't diluted :p
Her children are a dilution
sh's pure
and you can't argue with him because IN GAME DIFFERENCES
Not Vereesa.
Just because she likes human meat in bars
Doesnt mean she is diluted
And again val
Maxi's been arguing with me just fine on this Val.
Shitty opinions to trash can
I'm just trying to understand the difference
...read the lore?
You're not following the conversation then
Here allow me to clear up the waters
throws weebs
Maxi says that there aren't any differences for the elves because in game they use the same model. So they can't possibly be different.
I point out that a good population of the elves have been outside of Quel'thalas and have been mingling with humans for thousands of years. Thus elisande's point of the bloodlines being diluted, half children being made and remingling with their full blooded brethern to make a new type of 'high elf' one that's more human like and less lithe like the picture I've linked a few times
then you all started talking about high elves being different from high elves
I did misspeak on that. it's using 'in game examples'
Blood elves are full blooded elves that never left quel'thalas
someone misspoke several times and broke my brain
Thus never mingled with the lesser races.
Thus never had the dilution of bloodlines that the High Elves have
HEY-O
Capichi?
I say
Let's make a trade
Listen me here
Because Blizzard seem to hate night elves
the issue is that despite all these things they can do, all the thigns they can expand on
they refuse to
@hollow dock I think the problem is that you keep saying High elves... but Blood elves were also High elves, but different, by saying just High elves, you return all of them into a single bag, this is where misunderstanding starts
And put high elf
Humans are humans maxi
regardless of our areas and differences.
One group of humans is still humans
even if its different to another group of humans
I know, but you could say what you say even in the time of Third war, there were no Blood elves in that time and your explanation still applied in that time, now explain
So since Warlocks have studied the shadow and fel, and are tainted as such, does that make them different to other humans that haven't, like with Void Elves/Blood Elves?
this way he will understand
Val already understands
Kul Tiran humans as an allied race? Never happening, they’re just humans! Kul Tiran humans are humans!
the confusion was cleaned up
ok 😃
I say
We should let blizzard experiment with Allied races
let them be the horrifying warriors that made Grom desperately resort to demons blood.
@frosty matrix I would say this is about the amount of magic you are influenced by, Void elves were influenced by that Ethereal using some huge shadow spell who was supposed to make them also Ethereal, thats different from casting shadowbolt
Very true, but I'll admit to being a little facetious there.
Again Sev
Se

If Blizzard allowed void elves to change back into their normal form
its so hard to read everything with a broken scroll wheel 😦
They would be just blood elves high in void
but why are they with the alliance if theyre blood elves
They had to made them unique in one way
@restive sage That is explained in game in their recruitment scenario
@restive sage they were banished because of void magic could harm Sunwell, they were told to stop using / studying it but they didnt
the blood elves that made up umbrics group were exiled sometime between the rebuilding of the sunwell to be filled with light and not arcane
to now in legion
nuuuu void magic is beautiful thing 😦
Alleria saved them from a bad fate
alleria happens to find the ritual to turn them into void elves, they become blood elves and the ritual fails. then they joined the alliance.
that's how blood elves became void elves and then joined the alliance
You fucked yourself in that sentence
though umbric does make note that he was probably going to defect to the alliance anyways
I think you meant Umbric, not auric
-_-
since the horde just wants to use them as weapons most likely
I never made any mistakes
you all are crazy
Still
You did it twice 😛
I like how small lore they have
yea
Vris is just biased
Because her night elves are trash
^
This is a new generation of elves vris
and they can co-exist
fack u >=(
^
Or git goin
im with vris on this one
I'm just bothering him/her
thats so mean
eh its fine :p
I know its playful teasing. I never take any real offense to it
and indeed they do
I like that they're using them
They are using then more than lightforfed
how do u fix a scroll wheel
But that's probably because Lightforged had stuff in 7.3
Umbric and Alleria want to retake Silvermoon, So High Elves and Void Elves could work together, could get some story development for high elves,void elves and blood elves there
Everyone will be in the Alliance banter in the future
I feel like BFA is gonna be big, I mean big, I feel like blizzard is gonna surprise us, I feel like this expansion is gonna be very big though saying that i could be wrong
The Old Gods be comin'
Thats only patch 8.0 though
:/
Legion was pretty small in the start tbh
for all we know we could go up to 8.6
r u calling legion tiny
Only 4 zones
Blizzard has a lot tio play with this expansion
@ruby star I'm sure it will, you can feel it everywhere with all the unexplained parts, secret parts, not knowing anything more than 1 boss after first raid, we know almost nothing...
And a limited 5th area
They've really upped the content cadence
i feel like people said that with every expansion
@cinder knoll Exactly, It feels like it's gonna be massive perhaps going up to 8.6
Slayer
hi
You say that because you werent at start
i didnt really like legion 😦 dont like the theme
Me either
@restive sage in Legion we knew from start about Guldan and Nighthold at least, we knew about Emeral Nightmare, about Legion invasions... the only real surprise was Argus
yea
Looking at the new intro screen is refreshing
I'll be so glad to finally say goodbye to "fel-scarred green landscape" for one goddamn expansion
So far we have two large zones Kul'tiras and Zandalar, each has 3 zones in them, Nazajar and Plunder isle has also been dartamiend (just file names)
hell we even knew about TOS because it was located on Broken Shore
but what we know now? nothing 😄
compared to Legion
We only know datamined stuff
🤔
I feel like patch to patch is going to be very dynamic as the war continues
So we can assume
Kul'tiras & Zandalar = 8.0
Nazajatr & Plunder Isle = 8.1
then all those other patches whcih could go to 8.6 if blizz is going big dick
8.10
I imagine that territory shifting hands and such is going to be a thing
@zealous basalt Yeah, I mean that would be great
I mean. We already know hte outcome.
Inb4 Blizzard takes all the isles around the maelstrom
Likely not, no. New locations tend to be added in later patches. Isle of Thunder in Mists and Tanaan Jungle in WoD, for recent examples.
Then, of course, Argus in Legion
though Nazajatr & Plunder Isle does seem liekly for 8.1, unless they do them late 8.0 whicH i doubt it
new zone in first patch would be uncommon, wouldnt it?
broken shore was 8.2, tanaan was 7.2? not sure there
sowwy i dont know how dis stuff works
who knows, could be double kill like with Helya
could be
I remember the Isle of Quel'Denas was as late as 2.4 I think it was? 🤔
ye QuelDanas was very late into expac
@cinder knoll Blizzard has really left us in the dark, I mean we assume old gods, but with BFA we have no idea where they are heading
I think everyone was expecting Illidan to be final boss
Legion we had a rough idea
ye
The final boss is seldom who you expect. Hell, the final boss of Wrath wasn't even the Lich King 😂
Illidank
Yes it was o=
No it wasn't
it wasn't the final raid, but it was the last boss
that was after IC?
Yup
RS was after IC, but not really apart of it
So
since it was the inbetween raid of WotLK and Cata
Wtb in between raid of Legion and bfA
I think Ruby Sanctum/Halion was just filler challenge content
It was
Calling it the "in-between" raid doesn't remove the fact that it was, for all intents and purposes, the last raid of Wrath tho
Yea, so in that case I'd actually say Arthas/Lich King was indeed the final boss.
last raid yes, but not really expac finale
Yes, they just crammed another boss in there as 'filler', but it is what it is.
If it's filler, then it's not meant to be the actual thing. just fill in time
It was released after ICC, it was still in Wrath.
He means the final boss of WotLK my dude. Which was arthas.
I'm just talking chronologically
Call it
Chronologically
Extra boss
You're such a pedant, oh my god
since RS wasn't it's own tier
You called a non-tier raid the final boss of an expansion
As. A. Joke.
then went back and said it was just from the chronological stance
how do I know its a joke when you give no indication that it is
With all the fun you suck out of chat, it's a wonder you don't have a better sense of humor.
I will take you seriously unless you actually give some way for me to see it as a joke
Because it was such a ludicrous statement to make, I assumed it would be taken as farcical.
Ahhhh
Never assume
That explains a lot
This is why we need to wipe them
it makes an ass out of the both of us
☝🏼
I dont actually roleplay a night elf. I roleplay humans, dwarves, high elves, and void elves
That's...a lot.
I only play night elves on live because they're the only race I like to see in combat
But yeah
I am a very avid roleplayer, Seb
So was I, for six years.
I finally stopped, and I'm so glad tbh
The prepatch date
I think it's a safe bet that it's the 17th.
I'll never really stop. I love writing, and thanks to roleplaying, I'm a much better D&D player
Don't
need
to
send
multiple
messages
to
make
a
really
long
one
But why they haven't made a formal announcement is beyond me
The roleplay community on WoW is absolute cancer though tbh
Where is my announcement
Wow that gif got old fast
Prepatch is very close i mean they made the communties post yesterday or the day before
Good job
But yeah they need to anamerican mpunce it
It still makes me chuckle tbh
What do you mean with old fast
That it got old fast 🤷
Asking won’t make it happen faster, and the speculated date is still 17th, and what Selatharia said
But I want my formal announcement
Its already the 12th thry have 5 days till prepatch
You'd think they'd make a formal announcement
They announced Legion's pre-patch like, two days before
Exactly what Seb said
And see like "Oof, prepatch is this week"
