i think theyll just remove the rep entirely. the content that you get the rep from wont be relevant in bfa

#

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

meager warren
#

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

tulip sun
#

And DI/Maghar are for testing most likely

uncut vault
#

Yeah I doubt theyll take out the rep, nor do they really need to

#

allied races arent normal races, theyre tied to their story

tulip sun
#

They wont be available at launch(without doing the stoof)

uncut vault
#

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

ANOTHER DAY

#

ANOTHER DAY WITHOUT ANNOUNCEMENT

uncut vault
#

give it till friday then we can worry

zealous basalt
#

WHERE IS MY BURRITY

#

BURRITO*

#

Can we riot?

uncut vault
#

sethrak got their own bow ready idle

#

left is the old one, right is new

hollow dock
#

sethrak clearly an allied race

zealous basalt
#

...

#

That's tease

meager warren
#

Have they made sethrak with snitties?

urban dew
#

Stop that

wild star
#

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?)

frigid crater
wild star
#

No, that's before Prepatch.

#

I'm specfically asking about prepatch content that would go away with BFA launch.

restive sage
#

if you get the teldrassil hippogryph you get the undercity plaguebat on horde

#

atleast thats how it works on the ptr

wild star
#

Even if I don't have a 110 horde?

restive sage
#

yup

wild star
#

and that's the only difference unlock wise other than experiencing the story which I can resort to a video for if needed?

uncut vault
#

yes, though I recommend doing it, as its quite good

wild star
#

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 😃

restive sage
#

only takes a week or so to get 1 to 110

wild star
#

Before zone scaling I'd have believed it. Its just so slow now, even with heirlooms.

zealous basalt
#

bird

#

bird

#

bird is the word

restive sage
#

i got 1 to 25 in a day

uncut vault
#

thats the easy part

#

60-80 is not an easy ride

restive sage
#

it took me about a week

#

to level from 1 to 90 on my first charachter

#

then i started not caring at all

wild star
#

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.

dense plover
#

DH unlock is account wide

restive sage
#

how much gold tho

dense plover
#

you just can only have 1 per server

wild star
#

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.

dense plover
#

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

wild star
#

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

dense plover
#

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

wild star
#

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

dense plover
#

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

restive sage
#

i was zooming through 60 to 80

#

got out of there in like 2

@uncut vault Used your quote...where did you find it? 😮

even without the quote

the next file literally is a barren warfront

Where is this info!? xD

dense plover
#

its just currently unmodified

tulip sun
#

FML

#

Anyone know about Device Drivers?

dense plover
#

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

zealous basalt

#

PREPATCH?

uncut vault
#

what about it

zealous basalt
#

Any nees

#

News

tulip sun
#

@dense plover Or IS it a mistake?

#

-jaina bursts down wall flooding Mulgore-

sour burrow
#

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.

dense plover
#

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

sour burrow
#

Specifically looking for something that ~is~ being actively maintained, potentially already working for BfA as well.

tropic trail
#

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

sour burrow
#

Yeah, probably one week left.

restive sage
#

Warlocks are looking op

dense plover
#

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

sour burrow
#

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. ^_^;

uncut vault
#

Amazon strikes again with the leaks

terse patrol
#

o shit

#

Anything else? @uncut vault

#

Who’s the death knight looking dude

terse patrol
#

Whats with Jaina in a boat with the boat man from the river Styx

uncut vault
#

no clue but hers seems to be current day only

#

azshara and sylvanas both have flashbacks

karmic copper
#

Why did blizzard add the wod LoW into these... we wanna forget that expansion

dense plover
#

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?

uncut vault
#

we didnt know who was getting the three animated shorts, or what theyd be about (aside from one centering on teldrassil)

dense plover
#

Oh ok

uncut vault
#

6 new art shots too

dense plover
#

Yeah, I think the Jaina boat one might be related to her being cast out to that isle off stormsong valley

uncut vault
#

would explain why we havent been getting them yet this close to prepatch, stretched out over the whole launch, not just before the prepatch

tender coral
#

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?

uncut vault
#

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

karmic copper
#

Is fury good

uncut vault
#

Very

tender coral
#

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

dense plover
#

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

tender coral
#

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

mint osprey
#

who is more usefull in party of monk(healer) druid(tank) rogue. DK or Hunter?

sullen dagger
#

Probably a hunter

#

It does generally more dps

sage idol
#

How does DH compare to other mele dps in bfa?

cinder knoll
#

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

sage idol
#

Nice ok thx :)
Do you know a good DH Twitch streamer?

cinder knoll
#

nope. sry

#

I would probably stick to DH, but got bored by melee as I mained it almost whole Legion

viral terrace
#

@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.

sage idol
#

Ok sounds nice :)

hollow dock
#

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.

sullen dagger
#

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

uncut vault
#

BfA's mostly continuing the class design of legion, which is different strokes for different folks

sullen dagger
#

Ídem with dks

#

Yeah I agree porte

ruby star
#

@uncut vault Yeah looks like azhsara,jaina and slyv thing were getting

sullen dagger
#

Still there are some classes that start the xpac on a better position on the fun tier

uncut vault
#

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

ruby star
#

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

uncut vault
#

well, it looks like theyre drawing parallels between her and arthas

#

undead leader marches on a land of elves and kills a ranger leader

ruby star
uncut vault
#

I have, its a good read, decent opinions

ruby star
#

Yea

strange falcon
#

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.

ruby star
#

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 ^^^

strange falcon
#

ye,he knows already

ruby star
#

ah okay cool

strange falcon
#

also,""many"" people think bfa is going to fail

#

because of the many remarks of blizzard saying "we ran out of time"

urban dew
#

Yeah, I saw that

#

Looks pretty cool

ruby star
#

I don't agree with them that BFA is going to fail @strange falcon

strange falcon
#

and the fact,that the classes arent ""as fun"" because no legendaries + gcd

urban dew
#

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

tranquil steeple
#

[Stares at WoD]

urban dew
#

WoD was more of a planning fail

ruby star
#

I don't see any cut content so far

urban dew
#

They had some really great ideas, but they tried to set an unrealistic release plan

ruby star
#

I only have 1 problem with BFA

#

and that is the ALlied race bias, thats all

#

apart from that I am loving BFA

urban dew
#

Birbs and sneks

#

All I'll ever need

ruby star
#

I just need High Elves then I'll be happy xD but I hope you get your sneks, Snek! and hopefully birbs xD

urban dew
#

I still stand by my speculation that Blizz will give us a ton of allied races

strange falcon
#

doesnt get high elves >> aLliEd rAcE bIaS

ruby star
#

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?

strange falcon
#

you didnt want fat humans that can be druids? 🤔

ruby star
#

no

#

they should of just been a human customisation option if anything

strange falcon
#

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

urban dew
#

I mean, it's not like high elves won't ever be added

ruby star
#

Sure sneks are cool but they don't make up for all the ass pulls we've gotten, I have nothing against sneks personally,

urban dew
#

They just said no plans for BfA, which honestly, plans can change

ruby star
#

^

hollow dock
#

we need snitties tho

urban dew
#

Stop that

hollow dock
#

never

#

also, Dafire

urban dew
#

I curse you and your next 50 generations

hollow dock
#

where did you read they were a customization?

#

Last I heard, thin humans were only for NPCs

#

not the players

uncut vault
#

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.

hollow dock
#

there's a lot of different ways they can make the high elves relevant ot the story again. Blizzard just never wants to

tropic trail
#

After I complete the quest Freehold: A Pirate's End, I can't find Flynn in Boralus Harbor

ruby star
#

I mean I aspect Vereesa to be seen at some point in BFA, especially after being relevant in the comic?

tropic trail
#

what do I do

ruby star
#

and yea what Vris said

hollow dock
#

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.

ruby star
#

^

tropic trail
#

did the relog/ area

#

I reported it finally

ruby star
#

Good good!

half cove
#

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

urban dew
#

No, you're listening to the people that call them sub-races.

hard cedar
#

So...

urban dew
#

Allied races are races that both factions recruit into their ranks.

hard cedar
#

Someone on Reddit found what could possibly be future Animated Shorts.

urban dew
#

For Horde, that means Vulpera, for Alliance, it most likely means Sethrak

ruby star
#

@hard cedar Yeah, Jaina,slyv and ahzara

half cove
#

how's that different from Pandaren? I mean, story-wise we recruited them or smth, right?

urban dew
#

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

half cove
#

but they do have a special zone for them, at least voids and orcs

urban dew
#

Their small hubs are infinitely easier to make than an entire starting area

half cove
#

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

urban dew
#

It's a win/win situation for a lot of people

strange falcon
#

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

urban dew
#

A huge money maker for Blizz while also bringing in new races for players

half cove
#

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?

urban dew
#

Gnomes and dwarves always started in the same zone, I thought.

uncut vault
#

In the end they’re another way to keep attention through the expansion

#

Both through new things to level, and motivation to do content

half cove
#

gnomes and dwarves used to start in literally the same spot, and then gnomes were moved to new tinkertown, or whatever it's called

urban dew
#

Welp

#

Internet died, that's fun.

restive sage
#

Who killed it

urban dew
#

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.

ruby star
#

Same here Snek but for High Elves

restive sage
#

Sounds fun

urban dew
#

I'd most likely be leveling each of their classes to max

half cove
#

I'd like to play as arakkoa as well, they're adorable

#

but high elves

hollow dock
#

they need da bitties

urban dew
#

I'm fighting for Arakkoa

half cove
#

are basically voids/bloods with night elf voices

urban dew
#

I think they got a good shot in BfA

hollow dock
#

they aren't vale.

#

That's how they are in game because blizzard is lazy

half cove
#

yes, but if blizzard weren't lazy, what would be the difference?

#

well, new voiceover

urban dew
#

Well, funny thing is in BfA, High Elves started getting their files properly named.

ruby star
#

Yep Snek, a lot of stuff done to Hig helves after that Q&A

urban dew
#

Showing that Blizzard at the very least cares a little

hollow dock
#

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

half cove
#

but what IS the difference between highs and bloods?

urban dew
#

I mean, main difference is one is Alliance and the other is Horde

half cove
#

eyes

ruby star
#

lore

urban dew
#

I'm gonna guess ideals and attitude too

half cove
#

I mean, appearance-wise

#

belves are basically unlikable high elves

hollow dock
#

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.

urban dew
#

Honestly, appearances can be adjusted. Look at Kul'tirans. They're basically stocky humans

hollow dock
#

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

sullen dagger
#

High elves HOO RAH

urban dew
#

Which I do honestly love

sullen dagger
#

sneks and birbs can go suck a

#

Toe

hollow dock
#

Forgot the artist that made it

urban dew
#

Rude

#

We don't like toes

half cove
#

but stocky humans at least don't reuse the same model

sullen dagger
#

Anyway jokes and memes aside

urban dew
#

Hence why I was saying appearances could be adjusted

hollow dock
#

Void elves have the same model silhouette. As do the nightborne.

half cove
#

that image reminds me of half-elves, which are supposed to be a thing apparently

sullen dagger
#

Sethrak and foxes ain't happening

hollow dock
#

As I said Val, this was pointed out in game.

#

They should be more human-like than their blood elven counterparts.

urban dew
#

That seems like blatant denial

hollow dock
#

Not entirely half elves, but certainly aren't carbon copies of blood elves.

urban dew
#

There's a ton of supporting evidence for Sethrak and Vulpera

half cove
#

that's what makes me think allieds are special existing races, because they just reuse stuff, mostly

hollow dock
#

Which we see isn't true with Kul Tirans.

half cove
#

yes

hollow dock
#

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

urban dew
#

All depends on how Blizzard spins it

cinder knoll
#

@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?

strange falcon
#

omake is in the absolute denial stage of grief

#

:p

hollow dock
#

Well maxi

#

back then

cinder knoll
#

or did I miss something?

hollow dock
#

lore was shit

half cove
#

bloodline stuff is also related to half-elves

hollow dock
#

It was unclear, unwritten and hardly edited to fit a modern age.

half cove
#

which is supposed to be something else

hollow dock
#

Now it is, and now we see IN GAME REFERENCE to differences between the two races

cinder knoll
#

but what's the reason to change that? to justify the difference from blood elves? thats stupid

hollow dock
#

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

cinder knoll
#

I understand your description, but what's the reason to even bring this "new" lore? or where is the source of this?

hollow dock
#

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

cinder knoll
#

that was when?

hollow dock
#

for ages

#

arthas

#

m8

#

are you even following

cinder knoll
#

ok TBC, thats not ages man

hollow dock
#

TBC

#

isn't

cinder knoll
#

thats like 10 years?

hollow dock
#

arthas

#

this is end of third war

#

over 30 years ago

half cove
#

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....

cinder knoll
#

thats still shorter time that a human life

#

not to mention elves live much longer

hollow dock
#

thirty years

cinder knoll
#

not a single generation of elves

hollow dock
#

Over thirty years. Nearly 40.

cinder knoll
#

still

half cove
#

NO

hollow dock
#

at this point in time

#

that's several human generations

half cove
#

not over thirty years

uncut vault
#

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

half cove
#

because sane Arthas actually met the newborn Anduin, who is now 18

hollow dock
#

Anduin is in his 20s

#

not 18

#

o>o

half cove
#

uhh

cinder knoll
#

still not 40

uncut vault
#

No he’s confirmed 18

hollow dock
#

Nearly 40.

#

really?

half cove
#

gamepedia mentions several sources which describe his age

hollow dock
#

Did the team forget that he has a birthday every single year?

uncut vault
#

It’s been 12 years since WC3

#

In canon

half cove
#

like, "it was mentioned there that he's 15" and "x years passed since this event where that was mentioned"

uncut vault
#

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

half cove
#

unique customization of belf models, basically

cinder knoll
#

and here we are, same model

uncut vault
#

The void elves had no separate personality or identifying traits beyond purple until Blizz made them up in BfA

cinder knoll
#

but void elves were supposed to be new, high elves arent

hollow dock
#

And as I said at the start of this maxi: They use the same model because blizz is lazy

#

New or old is irrelevant

half cove
#

that also raises a question: why do we need voids? What is their significance?

cinder knoll
#

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

hollow dock
#

Hell, there isn't even a requirement to be relevant to the overarching story as Void Elves were literally shoe-horned in

urban dew
#

I mean, Sethrak/Vulpera originally used the Worgen/Goblin skeletons

hollow dock
#

and again Maxi

#

HIGH ELVES HAVE BEEN WITH HUMANS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

#

they helped make Dalaran.

cinder knoll
#

nothing new

half cove
#

yes, but belves are around for 12 years

hollow dock
#

Again

cinder knoll
#

High elves lived on many places

hollow dock
#

because blizz

#

is

#

lazy

cinder knoll
#

but they were all high elves

hollow dock
#

Belves haven't been with humans

#

for thousands of years

#

they've been with elves

for 12 years

for thousands of years

cinder knoll
#

ofc they were...

hollow dock
#

no

cinder knoll
#

dont b stupid

hollow dock
#

they werne't

#

the elves in Quel'thalas

#

never wanted to leave Quel'thalas

#

those guys stayed in Quel'thaals

cinder knoll
#

please try to think for a while... why did blood elves leave the alliance? think pls

hollow dock
#

THEY NEVER DID

#

They never JOINED in the first place

half cove
#

I've read it's something about their last King

hollow dock
#

you nincompoop

cinder knoll
#

😄 😄 😄

half cove
#

uhh

cinder knoll
#

now I know you are trolling or stupid

hollow dock
#

Blood Elves were never apart of the Alliance

uncut vault
#

The high elves of today never did, the ones in Quel’thalas did, after the second war

#

And became blood elves

hollow dock
#

they were made after the high elves withdrew from the Lordaeron Alliance

uncut vault
#

The high elves of today have always been in the alliance

half cove
#

Quel'thalas was a part of the Alliance

cinder knoll
#

blood elves was just a rename... KaelThas and his army was part of the alliance before a genocide attempt

half cove

hollow dock
#

facepalm

#

I'm not bothering

cinder knoll
#

for you, yes

hollow dock
#

theyre the same race

#

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

half cove
#

uhh, are you talking about me?

urban dew
#

Well, this turned into quite the shit show

half cove
#

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.

ruby star
#

Valentine are you against High Elves being added as an allied race?

half cove
#

not really, at least those are an actual thing that is already a part of Alliance. I'm more against voids

ruby star
#

Ah yeah, the void elves were defo an ass pull

viral terrace
#

Indeed.

#

I like the Nightborne

#

They used to be Night Elves but then changed over the years.

ruby star
#

I think blizzard understands they fucked up with void elves

#

however it's too late to remove them

unique meteor
#

sorry, is that argent dawn facebook group here? 😄

frosty matrix
#

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.

unique meteor
#

(void elf hate jokes)

frosty matrix
#

Instead of being like, permanently corpse-rigor blue

ruby star
#

Nope

#

giving void elves normal skin colours would be horrible

#

it would dilute both of them

zealous basalt
#

Good morning m8s

ruby star
#

Morning Makore!

unique meteor
#

morning! 😛

half cove
#

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?

zealous basalt
#

I must ask now

#

Do we have a prepatch date yet

ruby star
#

nope Makore

hollow dock
#

We explained it several times now. Using in game differences.

zealous basalt
#

...

cinder knoll
#

@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

ruby star
#

It would HURT

#

people

#

it would make no fucking sense

#

and would dilute both of them

frosty matrix
#

It would make no sense? Why isn't Alleria blue, then?

cinder knoll
#

see? this is again about the opinion

#

hard to satisfy everyone

frosty matrix
#

She just has the void-y voice and goes all blue/purple when she's channeling the void.

ruby star
#

Verees aand the silvercovenant and all the other high elves would not have Void Racials

#

it makes no sense

zealous basalt
#

Well

#

First of all

frosty matrix
#

Even if it was only out of combat, same way Worgen can be in their human forms, but are forcibly transformed in combat

zealous basalt
#

The void elves werent high elves

ruby star
#

^

zealous basalt
#

They were blood elves

#

We...saw that in the recruitment scenario

frosty matrix
#

But the Sunwell has been purified, so a fair-skinned, golden-eyed Blood Elf is well within reason

zealous basalt
#

Why give them the high elf skin?

half cove
#

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"

frosty matrix
#

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

cinder knoll
#

@zealous basalt Blood elves were High elves, that means Void elves were one day High elves...

frosty matrix
#

If she's able to do that, why can't they?

ruby star
#

sigh

zealous basalt
#

...

#

facepalm

#

Sure

frosty matrix
#

Go ahead and facepalm, but I'm legitimately asking for the reason.

zealous basalt
#

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

cinder knoll
#

the point is Alleria isn't a void elf in the first place

zealous basalt
#

They will be blood elves

#

And if you want to play a blood elf

cinder knoll
#

Alleria got her void powers different way than Void elves

zealous basalt
#

The horde is waiting for you

frosty matrix
#

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

zealous basalt
#

But it isnt possible

frosty matrix
#

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?

zealous basalt
#

Exactly

#

But the biological difference remained

#

Ie the tanned skin

ruby star
#

Blizzard knows thats if tehy gave void elves, high elves skin they would get a huge amount of backlash for it

frosty matrix
#

What's the biological difference anyway, now that the Sunwell is purified?

zealous basalt
#

The biological difference would be golden eyes

hollow dock
#

let's forget that elisande pointed out that there should be a genetic difference.

frosty matrix
#

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.

zealous basalt
#

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

hollow dock
#

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

zealous basalt
#

And that's when Ion dialog steps in

#

If you want to play a skinny race

#

Elf race*

#

The horde is waiting for you

frosty matrix
#

lol I have a Blood Elf but I don't enjoy the Horde

ruby star
#

What surpsies me though Makore

#

after that Q&A

cinder knoll
#

hard choice then

frosty matrix
#

It's not about wanting it, I was genuinely just asking why.

ruby star
#

loads of stuff was done for high elves

frosty matrix
#

Devil's advocate, if you will

ruby star
#

in BFA

#

🤔

zealous basalt
#

Because the staff wants to prove Ion

#

That he is wrong about the high elf community

#

I am ok with High elves

frosty matrix
#

Half the devs seem to love doing stuff that directly contradicts shit Ion says immediately after the fact tbh 😂

cinder knoll
#

😄

half cove

@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."

zealous basalt
#

But a void elf will never be a high elf again

#

Hey Valentine

hollow dock
#

Yes. that line exactly

#

'Dilute. your. bloodline.'

cinder knoll
#

That's probably the only thing in lore you can catch on, isn't it?

hollow dock
#

No

cinder knoll
#

I don't say it's wrong, just saying

hollow dock
#

you refuse to see anything else

#

that I point out

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

half cove
#

"Each of you has debased your proud lineage"

#

YOUR PROUD LINEAGE

frosty matrix
#

Technically, Void Elves COULD become high elves again. They're just missing one crucial thing to do so.

#

Seb

cinder knoll

you point out only your opinions and wrong information about Third war, hard to agree with that

frosty matrix

Jokes on you

Blood elves have bloodthistle

frosty matrix
#

Screw that Horde shit. It's all about the Peacebloom, my dude.

hollow dock
#

high elves having lived for thousands of years in dalaran and not Quel'thalas

#

isn't an excuse

zealous basalt
#

Oof

#

Also Vris

#

The heck are you trying to say there

ruby star
#

MaXi why are you so against high elves? please tell me?

hollow dock
#

High elves helped humans found Dalaran

zealous basalt
#

Yes they did

hollow dock
#

they've mingled with humans

#

for thousands of years.

zealous basalt
#

For long

hollow dock
#

their bloodlines have been diluted

zealous basalt
#

Since troll wars and stuff

hollow dock
#

this is why I would say that high elves should look different to ya know

cinder knoll
#

@ruby star I'm not really against High elves, I just don't like when someone spits on facts to prove his point

hollow dock
#

blood elves.

#

Who never left quel'thalas

frosty matrix
#

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.

zealous basalt
#

Blood elves and high elves should be different imo

#

Well

#

They were different before

#

Look at the first high elf models

#

But yeah

cinder knoll
#

@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

zealous basalt
#

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

cinder knoll
#

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

grizzled sleet

did you know that

different populations

of the same race

can look different

cinder knoll

Vris please could you not write 3 words per line?

#

please

zealous basalt
#

Look at us for example

hollow dock
#

never

cinder knoll
#

hard to create sentences from what you write

frosty matrix
#

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.

zealous basalt
#

Also Seb

hollow dock
#

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*

zealous basalt
#

Or well

cinder knoll
#

and yes I know that, thats why I pointed out they were different and using the same name

zealous basalt
#

Everyone

cinder knoll
#

I didnt say I dont agree with that

#

read again maybe

zealous basalt
#

I dont see how a high elf should practice void magic

cinder knoll
#

don't try to explain my logic based on things I didn't say

ruby star
#

Exactly Makore, giving void elves, high elf skin is stupid, they need to be their own allied race

hollow dock
#

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.

zealous basalt
#

Yeah

cinder knoll
#

the fact that something is weird doesn't mean it's not true, does it?

#

maybe I use that word wrong

zealous basalt
#

I like the void elves

#

Seem to have potential

cinder knoll
#

weird to me is like confusing / interesting / dumb mix

hollow dock
#

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

zealous basalt
#

Like....lots of potential

hollow dock
#

diluted its blood from pure elves.

zealous basalt
#

People are just being biased

hollow dock
#

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

frosty matrix
#

She was referring to Kal'dorei, Sin'dorei, and Quel'dorei alike with that dilution insult

hollow dock
#

Incorrect

cinder knoll
#

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

frosty matrix
#

She was saying they're ALL diluted from the "pure" Highborne

hollow dock
#

she had a specific quip towards each one, the diluting of blood lines specifically to the high elves

zealous basalt
#

Which is Bullshit because Shaldorei are worse than the tree

#

Three

hollow dock
#

and that they've all turned their backs on the Highborne that is their heritage

frosty matrix
#

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.

zealous basalt
#

This argument is not going anywhere

frosty matrix
#

Their children are the dilution, by virtue of being half human.

hollow dock
#

they dont even have to be half.

zealous basalt
#

Although being half humans should make them better

hollow dock
#

they can be partly

sullen dagger
#

@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

frosty matrix
#

The point is that pureblood High Elves are still very much a thing.

hollow dock
#

half humans re-mingling with high elves to give high elves the prominence in the genetic pool

ruby star
#

Just FYI, We don't want half elves, it would be another compromise and would end badly

zealous basalt
#

That would be really bad

sullen dagger
#

More races means more options and id never been or will be aganist

zealous basalt
#

It is bad enough with rpers doing half breedings

hollow dock
sullen dagger
#

But the so claimed "proofs" are conspiracy theories

zealous basalt
#

That looks like Anastasia

sullen dagger
#

Half elves would be super awesome

#

Or half orcs

#

Tbh

hollow dock
#

I don't remember who did this model work

cinder knoll
#

look cool 😃

#

and Ion couldn't argue they are same

sullen dagger
#

Moreso since its happening ingame

#

We have garona

#

We have arator

hollow dock
#

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.

sullen dagger
#

And probably quite more examples I'm not aware of

zealous basalt
#

Vereesa bois

#

And...that

hollow dock
#

Just blizzard does NOT like writing good things for alliance. the teams on record for favoring horde over alliance in this regard

zealous basalt
#

Bias

half cove
#

what, Vereesa is also a humanized half elf with diluted bloodline apparently

hollow dock
#

She isn't.

half cove
#

she is a half elf

hollow dock
#

She's a full high elf because she was born in Quel'thalas

cinder knoll
#

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

zealous basalt
#

No

half cove
#

SHE MUST HAVE DULITUED BLOODLINE THEN

frosty matrix
hollow dock
#

she has moved to Dalaran and lived there.

zealous basalt
#

She is pure elf

ruby star
#

she is 100% pure

half cove
#

high elf* I meant

zealous basalt
#

Shitty opinions to the trash pls

half cove
#

but still she is diluted

zealous basalt
#

That's what I thought

#

How the fuck

#

Is she

hollow dock
#

her children are in fact half elves.

half cove
#

because Vris says so

hollow dock
#

so yes her bloodline is diluted in that sense

frosty matrix
#

That doesn't mean that she HERSELF is diluted

hollow dock
#

Just Veressa herself isn't diluted :p

frosty matrix
#

Her children are a dilution

hollow dock
#

sh's pure

half cove
#

and you can't argue with him because IN GAME DIFFERENCES

frosty matrix
#

Not Vereesa.

zealous basalt
#

Just because she likes human meat in bars

#

Doesnt mean she is diluted

#

And again val

hollow dock
#

Maxi's been arguing with me just fine on this Val.

zealous basalt
#

Shitty opinions to trash can

half cove
#

I'm just trying to understand the difference

zealous basalt
#

...read the lore?

half cove
#

and people tell me about IN GAME DIFFERENCES

#

and DILUTION

hollow dock
#

You're not following the conversation then

zealous basalt
#

...you are not understanding a shit

#

Go to sleep will ya

hollow dock
#

Here allow me to clear up the waters

zealous basalt
#

throws weebs

half cove
#

that's the explanation I got

hollow dock
#

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

half cove
#

then you all started talking about high elves being different from high elves

hollow dock
#

I did misspeak on that. it's using 'in game examples'

half cove
#

what about bloods then

#

PERFECT

hollow dock
#

Blood elves are full blooded elves that never left quel'thalas

half cove
#

someone misspoke several times and broke my brain

hollow dock
#

Thus never mingled with the lesser races.

#

Thus never had the dilution of bloodlines that the High Elves have

zealous basalt
#

This lesser race can live without mana dependance

#

snaps fingers

frosty matrix
#

HEY-O

zealous basalt
#

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

zealous basalt
#

Let them kill they

#

Like

#

Extinct all night elf

cinder knoll
#

@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

zealous basalt
#

And put high elf

hollow dock
#

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

cinder knoll
#

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

frosty matrix
#

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?

cinder knoll
#

this way he will understand

hollow dock
#

Val already understands

uncut vault
#

Kul Tiran humans as an allied race? Never happening, they’re just humans! Kul Tiran humans are humans!

hollow dock
#

the confusion was cleaned up

cinder knoll
#

ok 😃

zealous basalt
#

I say

hollow dock
#

and don't you dare wipe out my precious night elves

just re-claw them

#

We should let blizzard experiment with Allied races

hollow dock
#

let them be the horrifying warriors that made Grom desperately resort to demons blood.

zealous basalt
#

They cant vris

#

After Cata

#

They have went downhill

cinder knoll
#

@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

zealous basalt
#

It is time

#

To retire them

Very true, but I'll admit to being a little facetious there.

If Blizzard allowed void elves to change back into their normal form

restive sage
#

its so hard to read everything with a broken scroll wheel 😦

zealous basalt
#

They would be just blood elves high in void

restive sage
#

but why are they with the alliance if theyre blood elves

zealous basalt
#

They had to made them unique in one way

#

@restive sage That is explained in game in their recruitment scenario

cinder knoll
#

@restive sage they were banished because of void magic could harm Sunwell, they were told to stop using / studying it but they didnt

hollow dock
#

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

restive sage
#

nuuuu void magic is beautiful thing 😦

zealous basalt
#

Alleria saved them from a bad fate

hollow dock
#

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

restive sage
#

ooooooooh

#

🙂

zealous basalt
#

You fucked yourself in that sentence

hollow dock
#

though umbric does make note that he was probably going to defect to the alliance anyways

uncut vault

I think you meant Umbric, not auric

I like that they're using them

They are using then more than lightforfed

restive sage

how do u fix a scroll wheel

zealous basalt
#

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

@cinder knoll Exactly, It feels like it's gonna be massive perhaps going up to 8.6

Slayer

restive sage
#

hi

zealous basalt
#

You say that because you werent at start

restive sage
#

i watched youtube for some years

#

._.

zealous basalt
#

Legion did look a little small

#

Now it is really big

#

From 5 zones to 8 zones

restive sage
#

i didnt really like legion 😦 dont like the theme

zealous basalt
#

Me either

cinder knoll
#

@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

zealous basalt
#

Too much green kinda

#

Hurt my eyes

restive sage
#

yea

zealous basalt
#

Looking at the new intro screen is refreshing

frosty matrix
#

I'll be so glad to finally say goodbye to "fel-scarred green landscape" for one goddamn expansion

ruby star
#

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)

cinder knoll
#

hell we even knew about TOS because it was located on Broken Shore

#

but what we know now? nothing 😄

#

compared to Legion

zealous basalt
#

We only know datamined stuff

ruby star
#

Nazajatr is assumed for 8.1 and so is plunder isle

#

thats pretty big

restive sage
#

🤔

frosty matrix
#

I feel like patch to patch is going to be very dynamic as the war continues

ruby star
#

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

zealous basalt
#

8.10

frosty matrix
#

I imagine that territory shifting hands and such is going to be a thing

ruby star
#

@zealous basalt Yeah, I mean that would be great

hollow dock
#

I mean. We already know hte outcome.

restive sage
#

w8

#

kul tiras and zandalar wont be the only places?

zealous basalt
#

Inb4 Blizzard takes all the isles around the maelstrom

frosty matrix
#

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

ruby star
#

though Nazajatr & Plunder Isle does seem liekly for 8.1, unless they do them late 8.0 whicH i doubt it

cinder knoll
#

new zone in first patch would be uncommon, wouldnt it?

#

broken shore was 8.2, tanaan was 7.2? not sure there

ruby star
#

Well

#

Azahsara is 8.1

#

so I assume her zone would be 8.1

#

?

restive sage
#

sowwy i dont know how dis stuff works

cinder knoll
#

who knows, could be double kill like with Helya

ruby star
#

could be

frosty matrix
#

I remember the Isle of Quel'Denas was as late as 2.4 I think it was? 🤔

cinder knoll
#

ye QuelDanas was very late into expac

ruby star
#

@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

cinder knoll
#

I think everyone was expecting Illidan to be final boss

ruby star
#

Legion we had a rough idea

cinder knoll
#

ye

frosty matrix
#

The final boss is seldom who you expect. Hell, the final boss of Wrath wasn't even the Lich King 😂

zealous basalt
#

Illidank

hollow dock
#

Yes it was o=

frosty matrix
#

No it wasn't

hollow dock
#

it wasn't the final raid, but it was the last boss

frosty matrix
#

It was Halion

#

Ruby Sanctum.

cinder knoll
#

that was after IC?

frosty matrix
#

Yup

hollow dock
#

RS was after IC, but not really apart of it

zealous basalt
#

So

hollow dock
#

since it was the inbetween raid of WotLK and Cata

zealous basalt
#

Wtb in between raid of Legion and bfA

tranquil steeple
#

I think Ruby Sanctum/Halion was just filler challenge content

hollow dock
#

It was

frosty matrix
#

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

tranquil steeple
#

Yea, so in that case I'd actually say Arthas/Lich King was indeed the final boss.

cinder knoll
#

last raid yes, but not really expac finale

frosty matrix
#

Yes, they just crammed another boss in there as 'filler', but it is what it is.

hollow dock
#

If it's filler, then it's not meant to be the actual thing. just fill in time

zealous basalt
#

He didnt mean ic

#

He meant that in general

frosty matrix
#

It was released after ICC, it was still in Wrath.

hollow dock
#

He means the final boss of WotLK my dude. Which was arthas.

frosty matrix
#

I'm just talking chronologically

zealous basalt
#

Call it

hollow dock
#

Chronologically

zealous basalt
#

Extra boss

hollow dock
#

is different

#

to the expansion

frosty matrix
#

You're such a pedant, oh my god

hollow dock
#

since RS wasn't it's own tier

#

You called a non-tier raid the final boss of an expansion

frosty matrix
#

As. A. Joke.

hollow dock
#

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

frosty matrix
#

With all the fun you suck out of chat, it's a wonder you don't have a better sense of humor.

hollow dock
#

I will take you seriously unless you actually give some way for me to see it as a joke

frosty matrix
#

Because it was such a ludicrous statement to make, I assumed it would be taken as farcical.

zealous basalt
#

Vris roleplays a Night Elf

#

What do you expect

frosty matrix
#

Ahhhh

hollow dock
#

Never assume

frosty matrix
#

That explains a lot

zealous basalt
#

This is why we need to wipe them

hollow dock
#

it makes an ass out of the both of us

zealous basalt
#

Am rite?

#

Wipe Night elves and replace them with High elves

frosty matrix
#

☝🏼

hollow dock
#

I dont actually roleplay a night elf. I roleplay humans, dwarves, high elves, and void elves

frosty matrix
#

That's...a lot.

hollow dock
#

I only play night elves on live because they're the only race I like to see in combat

zealous basalt
#

But yeah

hollow dock
#

I am a very avid roleplayer, Seb

zealous basalt
#

Can we talk about how we are going to burn Blizzard HQ

#

If

#

They

#

Don't

frosty matrix
#

So was I, for six years.

zealous basalt
#

Fucking

#

Annoucne

frosty matrix
#

I finally stopped, and I'm so glad tbh

zealous basalt
#

The prepatch date

frosty matrix
#

I think it's a safe bet that it's the 17th.

hollow dock
#

I'll never really stop. I love writing, and thanks to roleplaying, I'm a much better D&D player

tranquil steeple
#

Don't
need
to
send
multiple
messages
to
make
a
really
long
one

frosty matrix
#

But why they haven't made a formal announcement is beyond me

#

The roleplay community on WoW is absolute cancer though tbh

zealous basalt
hollow dock
#

On retail yea

#

I dont rp on retail

zealous basalt
#

I rp in retail becus guild and friendos

#

But

#

After finding an Spanish rp server

sharp bluff
#

Wow that gif got old fast

ruby star
#

Prepatch is very close i mean they made the communties post yesterday or the day before

sharp bluff
#

Good job

ruby star
#

But yeah they need to anamerican mpunce it

frosty matrix
#

It still makes me chuckle tbh

ruby star
#

Announce it*

#

Damn phone

zealous basalt
#

What do you mean with old fast

tranquil steeple
#

That it got old fast 🤷

sharp bluff
#

Asking won’t make it happen faster, and the speculated date is still 17th, and what Selatharia said

zealous basalt
#

But I want my formal announcement

ruby star
#

Its already the 12th thry have 5 days till prepatch

#

You'd think they'd make a formal announcement

frosty matrix
#

They announced Legion's pre-patch like, two days before

zealous basalt
#

I want to see

sharp bluff
#

Exactly what Seb said

zealous basalt
#

And see like "Oof, prepatch is this week"
