has nothing to do with this

#

The story

#

has nothing to do with this

#

OK

mint arch
#

im talking that the story of a game is a PART of the design of a game

hollow dock
#

back to warframe I go

mint arch
#

lol, wow u really are something sometimes

strange falcon
#

i approve vris playing warframe 👍

terse patrol
#

San’layn would be cool tho. Life drain racial pls.

mint arch
#

vris 100% correct in all things - vris's opinion that is fact btw GWcentralPikaLUL

#

lul, i slightly sympathize with rys, trying to debate/argue with vris really is like talking to a wall sometimes

#

San'layn could have flying like worgen do running

hollow dock
#

oh absolutely

#

As I've said multiple times, the designing of the san'layn will be solid, thematical and either on par or slightly below what the other races are designed with.

The actual story reason will be shit since it's forced in.

mint arch
#

Game design is the art of applying design and aesthetics to create a game for entertainment or for educational, exercise, or experimental purposes. Increasingly, elements and principles of game design are also applied to other interactions, particularly virtual ones (see gami...

#

one of the elements of game design: storyline or plot

#

story is a part of game design = it is an element of game design

#

in-game lore comes under the story, so ya, if u make a stupid/forced lore decision, it is a poor game design choice... and sure, i never denied u can make a poor story choice but good design choice in say, gameplay, at the same time

jade basalt
#

You have to scroll to the half of the page before it even mentions story/plot. And this has absolutely nothing to do with your original point..

mint arch
#

its a section xD

jade basalt
#

It's a game. Games have stories. Of course story is a part of game design, nobody ever said the opposite, and it's not even remotely related to your point.

mint arch
#

Design elements is a section of that wiki page

#

are u really saying cause you have to scroll = irrelevant?

jade basalt
#

Color me surprised

#

What

mint arch
#

vris said that story is not part of game design

#

btw

#

You have to scroll to the half of the page before it even mentions story/plot.

jade basalt
#

His sentence can depend entirely on the context..

mint arch
#

wtf does scrolling have to do with anything then?

jade basalt
#

Try to work your imagination.

mint arch
#

lol

#

vris said: "It'd be a bad STORY CHOICE but the game design would be pretty damn solid"

#

vris was separating story from game design

jade basalt
#

That is a valid sentence, though I don't know what it is about.

mint arch
#

i was saying that no, story is an element of game design, so if u make a poor story decision, it would be a poor game design choice

jade basalt
#

Well you're wrong then.

#

And he's right.

mint arch
#

and sure, i never denied u can make a poor story choice but good design choice in gameplay at the same time

#

loool

#

im wrong based on?

#

are u denying story is an element of game design?

jade basalt
#

No.

mint arch
#

then thats my point

jade basalt
#

Nope.

mint arch
#

we agree then

#

okaaay

#

guess we dont

#

i have to be wrong cause we had earlier argument about factions, aite mate

jade basalt
#

Honestly I just don't want to argue over.. the argument you had.. with someone else.

mint arch
#

if u cant be objective in this discussion, then i wont reply

#

sure

jade basalt
#

I suggest you spend some more time on those wiki pages though

mint arch
#

loool

#

or maybe u should

#

since ur literally making no real point

rain bison
#

Yawn....

jade basalt
#

I used to make games for a living..

mint arch
#

congratulations mate

#

u are now the 100% correct expert in all things

#

im a software engineer btw, i have experience with game design from uni

#

👍

jade basalt
#

Sure.. you do.

mint arch
#

lol

#

being salty arent we

#

u brought up ur career

rain bison
#

Im enjoying my popcorn btw

mint arch

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

rain bison
#

It is!

mint arch

🍿

#

thar we go~

rain bison
#

👌

mint arch
#

👍

distant folio
#

well story is one element of game design, but story is not game design

mint arch
#

never said it was game design

#

i agree

#

story is one element of game design

#

one part

distant folio
#

The other person is right, you can make a shitty story choice yet it still resulting in great game design.

mint arch
#

sure, i never said u couldnt do that

distant folio
#

You did

#

Multiple times

mint arch
#

where?

rain bison
#

More popcorn needed it seems

mint arch
#

i never wrote "u cant make a poor story choice and good game design choice"

distant folio
#

"i was saying that no, story is an element of game design, so if u make a poor story decision, it would be a poor game design choice"

mint arch
#

i wrote "making a poor story choice is a bad game design choice"

distant folio
#

Also you just edited your other comments so you're not wrong anymore lol so I cant quote them

mint arch
#

i did edit them, to make myself more clear i added in

distant folio
#

of course lol

#

you forgot that one though "story is an element of game design, so if u make a poor story decision, it would be a poor game design choice""

mint arch
#

"and sure, i never denied u can make a poor story choice but good design choice in say, gameplay, at the same time"

distant folio
#

that's the sentence you edited after the fact, yes

mint arch
#

i didnt address that point

#

so i did

rain bison
mint arch
#

wait, are u denying that making a poor story choice is a bad game design choice?

distant folio
#

Only one thing is true though, if everybody tells you that you're wrong, it means everybody is wrong, the issue can't possibly with you, that would be weird

mint arch
#

lol

#

everyone?

#

literally 3 ppl, u included now

#

is now everyone

distant folio
#

Literally every other person who participated in the discussion

mint arch
distant folio
#

is wrong

#

but you're right

mint arch
#

lol

rain bison
#

I agree with voidox! /eats

mint arch
#

i never used the word "wrong" with u and quiet

distant folio
#

lol

mint arch
#

i actually agreed with quiet

#

at the end

distant folio
#

I didnt say you used the word wrong with me

mint arch
#

what is ur point mate?

#

to this discussion?

#

is story an element of game design or not?

rain bison
#

Guys sun is shining and we are all melting.. its to hot for discussions 😥

mint arch
#

and if u make a poor story choice, is that a poor game design choice or not?

distant folio
#

Just scroll and read again, I made my point. Then I found out you edited all your previous sentences so you wouldn't be wrong again. And we came to discuss you saying you didn't use the word "wrong" for some reason.

mint arch
#

i didnt edit them all

#

i edited one after the fact

#

u can believe or not, i dont really care

#

doesnt change my point im trying to make

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

ignoring the questions i ask, cool xD

#

@rain bison ty for agreeing with me GWovoYayy

distant folio
#

I can feel the salt flowing from the ocean

mint arch
#

loool

#

ignore question, move to salt comments

#

lets go~

distant folio
#

Everybody has dropped this conversation and Imma join them too, but you keep writing 10 lines at a time lol

mint arch
#

👍 ty for joining the discussion for no reason

#

xD

#

lawl, cant answer the question, runs off

strange falcon
#

voidox is going into overload trying to feed us his Void laced lies

#

D:

mint arch
#

im not GWsetmyxPeepoSad

zealous basalt
#

That was a heck of discussion

#

Sadly I got latr

mint arch
#

no worries, i miss out on a lot

#

though discussion ended when fire linked the god sun pic

#

cant beat that GWqlabsFeelsBadEh

mint arch
#

sylvanas: "the alliance will come us, for me, for you"

#

for me?

#

fck u bitch, u started this shit

viral terrace
#

@mint arch What if she goes to Bolvar Fordragon and asks for an alliance?

mint arch
#

the lich king and queen

#

windrunner sisters do like humans

#

she breaks up with doggie nathanos

#

and hooks up with bolvar

#

in his sadness, nathanos becomes the forsaken leader we all want

#

i.e. not evil

viral terrace
#

Bolvar seems to be planning something

#

He threatened to release the Scourge on the world at the start of Legion if the Ebon Blade didn't ally with him.

mint arch
#

aye

#

for sure he's there for blizzard to use in a wrath 2.0 expansion

viral terrace
#

Or, they could use him in a later patch for BfA

mint arch
#

or they go with the whole "lich king actually helping but ends justify means" route

#

since i think they're making it that arthas knew about the void

viral terrace
#

Yeah, especially how Bolvar got you to re-create the four horsemen.

mint arch
#

ya

viral terrace
#

He will probably have a big role in either BfA, or a WoTLK 2 expac

mint arch
#

hmm, i dont think his big role comes in BFA

zealous basalt
#

Ot we can go the ysera route

#

And kill him in a quest

mint arch
#

ysera-chan GWaobaPePeCry

#

but with killing him

#

we'd need another lich king

viral terrace
#

^^^^^

zealous basalt
#

We could probably

viral terrace
#

Without a lich king, the scourge wouldn't be contained.

zealous basalt
#

Find a way to oof scourge for once and for all

viral terrace
#

What if

#

The player becomes the Lich King?

mint arch
#

nah

#

thats too much power for a single class

viral terrace
#

You just shattered my dreams D;

zealous basalt
#

Hail to the king baby

hollow dock
#

That's....not true.

#

The Lich King Agreed to hold the Scourge in northrend in return for the Ebon Blade's alliance

#

not that he threatened them O.o

zealous basalt
#

...not that it changes something

viral terrace
#

well technically

#

it threatened them

hollow dock
#

No?

#

the scourge is very much not a threat for various reasons.

viral terrace
#

Because if they disagreed then he would release the scourge

hollow dock
#

The scourge was already out

#

tho

#

Like. The scourge was never secluded, it was culled to Icecrown

#

the crusade made sure enough of the undead was wiped out and left Bolvar to his own.

viral terrace
#

Still, the Lich King is a threat.

hollow dock
#

Bolvar presented an alliance with the offer to completely contain the Scourge to Northrend. That's far froma threat

#

if anything, that's a bonus since that guarantee's the scourge won't become an issue

viral terrace
#

We don't know how long Bolvar has had to rebuild the scourge under wraps.

hollow dock
#

We do know how long though. Or at least, we have a rough estimate

#

Thanks to the Fire Mage questline, we know that Bolvar has been recently taking up new undead. This is to reflect his new alliance with the Ebon Blade.

#

He's not been raising much more than basic undead, no liches or deathknights of his own as of the start of Legion, and possibly during WoD.

viral terrace
#

the four horsemen

zealous basalt
#

What is the scourge itself

hollow dock
#

Until Legion

#

The scourge itself was heavily neutered.

#

That small little scourgewar that happened in WotLK neutered out most of its higher ups, the cult of the damned, etc.

#

The Four Horsemen is a new legion thing that he's only had with us as his pawns. Which yes he is doing some really shady shit, but like Sylvanas is learning from her predecessor, Bolvar is learning from Arthas and Ner'zhul's mistakes

restive sage
#

what color is bfa

agile token
#

Morally grey kappa

zealous basalt
#

Tmw

#

Prepatch is gunna be timegated

#

Why Vris

#

Why do they timegate it

restive sage
#

timegated?

rich apex
#

So you don't blow through it in two days and then cry on the forums about nothing to do 😛

zealous basalt
#

But there is a lot to do

#

Killing hordes for 4 weeks

viral terrace
#

@zealous basalt The Siege of Lordaeron will most likely be one week before launch

zealous basalt
#

I know that

#

But the rest

#

The burning

viral terrace
#

wait the burning is timegated

#

that's a bit of bs

night swift
#

Burning is in 3 parts I believe

zealous basalt
#

I had planned a rp event

clever ember
#

They already said that the battle for lordaeron will be out a week before BfA goes live, but it’ll only be available to those who have preordered BfA. If you don’t have BfA yet. You won’t be able to do it

zealous basalt
#

I Dont care about lordaeron

#

It is about the burning

#

Also it doesnt make sense

steel venture
#

the burning was

clever ember
#

What doesn’t?

steel venture
#

always supposed to be before lordaeron

zealous basalt
#

The timegate

#

No u dolts

#

The timegate of the Burning

#

Sylvanas wouldnt risk to wait

steel venture
#

because all pre-patches have several events that lead up to the climax of the prepatch?

zealous basalt
#

...

#

You arent understanding me

tranquil steeple
#

Timegating is just for players, though

#

not the story within the game

zealous basalt
#

Which is bullshit

#

Let us play through the burning in one sitting

steel venture
#

except
seriously no prepatch happened all at once

night swift
#

And then have nothing to do for 3 weeks?

hollow dock
#

^

ruby star
#

Tbh I'd prefer the prepatch all at once

steel venture
#

like are you serious man
every pre-patch event since the WotLK one has had some form of buildup.

zealous basalt
#

Legion, we had only invasions

steel venture
#

except
the invasions?? weren't instant?????

zealous basalt
#

With the quests of magni

steel venture
#

they did have a little delay on it

zealous basalt
#

Little delay

#

Not a whole week

hollow dock
#

It was like 1 every few days

#

then it shortneed

#

every single week

steel venture
#

every prepatch event as some form of timegate.

#

all. of. them.

hollow dock
#

until everything was invaded week before legions release

clever ember
#

The invasions started slowly, a few here a few there. Over the couple week more popped up and they were up longer.

steel venture
#

holy crap

ruby star
#

Look dude @steel venture its personal prefence if you prefer it time stamped or all at once however sadly its time stamped

zealous basalt
#

It just dont make sense to timegate the burning

hollow dock
#

that' snot what we are arguing Drorith

steel venture
#

except it does

#

because they have to march through ashenvale and darkshore first

#

to get the forces to teldrassil

hollow dock
#

Mak says it doesn't make sense to timegate content to Stretch it out to BFA's launch

viral terrace
#

Though tbh

#

it gives them time to fix any final bugs

steel venture
#

its not blizzard's fault if roleplayers jumped the gun and had a huge fucking event about the siege of lordaeon ahead of schedule

tulip sun
#

V.v

#

Ok then

zealous basalt
#

I'm not with those roleplayers

#

I knew they were ahead of time

tulip sun
#

My guild has plans for the War of Thorns, but the timegate wont bother it

zealous basalt
#

sigh I guess I just got blind there

steel venture
#

It's really just a return to a more standard pre-patch format.

zealous basalt
#

But at least

#

Dont gate everything behind a week

steel venture
#

The prelude to the War against Arthas, the Shattering, etc. Those had story-arc and weekly timegated events.

zealous basalt
#

Like I'm afraid of

#

You know

steel venture
#

or are we just forgetting the buildup to the zombie infestation or the elemental attacks

zealous basalt
#

Getting 1-3 things a week

#

But that's the thing, there were more things to do

#

I prefer if they do quest by quest daily

#

Okay people

#

Bets on final artifact level?

tranquil steeple
#

155, 103 concordance

#

no wait that's 104 concordance mb

zealous basalt
#

We are at 100 atm

tranquil steeple
#

hasn't it gone up 2 or 3 every day the last few, though?

hollow dock
#

You guys do know that there are World Quests

#

in Darkshore

steel venture
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hollow dock
#

/ashenvale

#

right?

#

you dont get 1 quest

#

and nothing to do after

steel venture
#

another point that i was going to mention lmao

hollow dock
#

you keep fighting around there

zealous basalt
#

What do you prefer

#

Effect trinkets

#

Or stat trinkets

tranquil steeple
#

depends on the effect tbh, but usually effect trinkets

hollow dock
#

Usually stat trinks tbh.

#

Proc trinks I've never liked for the variance

#

I like the old PPM trinkets where you could time and line up CDs with their procs

#

rather than the RPPM

#

model

tranquil steeple
#

yea

mint arch
#

stat trinkets are boring

hollow dock
#

Procs that you can't control are just as boring

zealous basalt
#

I prefer an stat increase tbh

mint arch
#

well, if the procs are in ur class design, ya fck that

hollow dock
#

We

#

Are only speaking of trinkets

#

Let's keep it to just that.

zealous basalt
#

Ye ur argument shcks

#

hits with paper

mint arch
#

trinkets are a place id be okay with rng, they're more additions to ur class

hollow dock
#

I think otherwise.

mint arch
#

blizzard can be fun with them or w.e

hollow dock
#

RNG is something I'm staunchly against for performing well on my charts

zealous basalt
#

Not when they give 5000 of an stat

mint arch
#

well, ideally effect trinkets should not have major stat stacks on em

#

u use the trinket for the effect

#

ya rng can be annoying and i am against it for basic class design

zealous basalt
#

No u

hollow dock
#

I'm against it for doing well at all in any facet.

zealous basalt
#

I know a trinket

#

That counters your words void

hollow dock
#

RPPM is just a way to tune down power levels.

zealous basalt
#

Well

#

Twi

#

Two

hollow dock
#

that's why it was introduced in Pandaria

zealous basalt
#

Arcanocrystal and Arcanocrystal 2.0

#

Imo the best set of trinkets are

mint arch
#

i mean, if a trinket is what determines u doing well in dps or w.e, then thats bad class design

#

arcano trinkets are so fcking bad

#

cause its just stats

hollow dock
#

No?

zealous basalt
#

The concordance and arcanecrystal

hollow dock
#

The arcano crystal is BiS for most of the specs.

#

in which, a trinket increasing your DPS

#

isn't bad design for the class

mint arch
#

ya, thats a problem with the class design

hollow dock
#

O.o

zealous basalt
#

Si

hollow dock
#

that's not a problem with design

zealous basalt
#

You know more than devs?

mint arch
#

in terms of it being BiS for almost all classes

zealous basalt
#

opens a trash can wanna go back where you belong (?

hollow dock
#

that's still not a problem with design. Classes benefit more from stats than effects. that's just how it's always been in WoW

#

it's ust blizz has never made a pure stat trinket until Legion

mint arch
#

and that was a bad design choice to make

#

imo

hollow dock
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

agree to disagree.

#

I think its perfectly fine and far more prefferable to rolling the dice on getting my trinket procs to enchance my DPS to the top of the charts

mint arch
#

u think its fine to have a single trinket be BiS for almost every single class?

#

o.o

hollow dock
#

Yea.

#

since ya know

#

almost all specs have the same BiS non-legendary rings

#

in 1 raid

#

Why is this not an issue but this 1 trinket is?

mint arch
#

cause this trinket from the moment of its release to end of expansion

#

was almost always BiS

zealous basalt
#

That means it was a good trink

hollow dock
#

Yea. So are trinkets from other legion raids

#

that was the point of the titanforging system

mint arch
#

no, other trinkets are raid to raid

#

cept specific ones

hollow dock
#

Nope

zealous basalt
#

Erm

#

I raid with concordance of ages

mint arch
#

when a new tier is out, new trinkets for the raid, u aim to use those

hollow dock
#

Bloodthirsty from Ursoc is still a BiS trink.

mint arch
#

i said "cept specific ones"

#

there are exceptions

hollow dock
#

OK

#

so

zealous basalt
#

Until I got my 930 trink

hollow dock
#

why is this one

#

not an eception

#

exception

#

your logic makes no sense.

mint arch
#

but there is not a single trinket from release to end of expansion, that is BiS for almost ALL classes

hollow dock
#

It's not OK for arcanocrystal to be BiS

mint arch
#

cept arcano

hollow dock
#

even though there are other trinkets

#

that come from the start

#

that are BiS

mint arch
#

a single trinket

hollow dock
#

but those are OK

#

Again

#

bloodthirsty is 1 trinket

#

CoE is 1 trinket.

mint arch
#

for all classes?

hollow dock
#

these are all single trinkets that are still BiS if you get the forge up

mint arch
#

is arcano not useful sometimes for any spec as well?

hollow dock
#

For DHs, Surv hunters for Bloodthirsty and CoE still has multiple classes like DKs, warriors, etc that want it

#

Arcano is useful for specs that value secondary stats over primary

#

Which is some warlock specs, mastery hungry specs.

#

Which isn't that many in the first place.

zealous basalt
#

Classes that increases damage in their mastery?

hollow dock
#

Pretty much

#

While things like Arcano Crystal and the other stat or older effect trinekts are BiS if you forge it up to current ilvl, everyoen tells you to not bother frming for it

mint arch
#

cause drop rate is shit

hollow dock
#

because its unreliable

#

doesn't stop it from being BiS.

night swift
#

Warriors have a BiS thats from Elisande in Nighthold. Been BiS all the way theough Antorus

#

Lots os good trinkets are from nighthold

hollow dock
#

Yup.

#

Even after the nerfs to DoS, it's still a BiS trinket

zealous basalt
#

Now you are going to say "that's because the trinket design is shit"

mint arch
#

i said there are exceptions

zealous basalt
#

But AC isnt one, right?

mint arch
#

my issue with arcano is that almost every class can have it as BiS

#

point me to another trinket that is BiS for almost every class in the game, cause i dont know of another one

#

id like to know

#

*regardless of ilvl at times

zealous basalt
#

I will point you where you can throw those thoughts

#

Because literally, you have been the only one with those issues

mint arch
#

riiiight

#

go and google arcanocrystal or arcano

#

enjoy that experience~

zealous basalt
#

points to trash can

#

Go back where you belong c:

mint arch
#

u can go to the trash can urself mate

night swift
#

Draught of Souls, Arcano Crystal, Convergence of Fates

mint arch
#

i see, so DoS and CoF are both BiS trinkets for almost every class in the game?

hollow dock
#

let's not forget the legendary pantheon trinket

mint arch
#

again, id like to know

hollow dock
#

DoS was for all melee classes before it's heavy handed nerf

zealous basalt
#

Yeah actually

hollow dock
#

I'll have you know

mint arch
#

the pantheon trinket is just arcano 2.0

#

same problem

#

literally everyone gunning for it

zealous basalt
#

Your problem maybe m8

night swift
#

Cause the pantheon trinkets are good

zealous basalt
#

And because it gives you

#

Sweet 5000 of stat

night swift
#

Their only gimmick has to be used in antorus though

mint arch
#

lol, nothing to do with the topic makore, ty for the useless input

#

ya, antorus only gimmick

zealous basalt
#

Useless topic tho

mint arch
#

thats fine, its just a raid tier

hollow dock
#

You wanted more examples

#

we gave you more examples

mint arch
#

oh boy, topics need ratings now

hollow dock
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

night swift
#

Why are we raging over trinkets again?

zealous basalt
#

He says they are trash designed because "how is it possible that arcano is bis for all classes at this rate"

night swift
#

Cause its good?

#

It sims better than most other trinkets

hollow dock
#

The original question was what we prefered

mint arch
#

i never used the word tash

hollow dock
#

Stat sticks or Effect/Proc trinks

lone charm
#

Guys, who can help me? I need npc named Lidan Gustaf (or something like that).
He sell lvl 2 receipt for tailor 300 ilvl craft

hollow dock
#

Most of us prefer stat sticks

mint arch
#

i said it was bad design

night swift
#

I prefer stat sticks

mint arch
#

why ur taking it so personally, no idea

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hollow dock
#

Void hates it and thinks its bad design.

night swift
#

I have a lot of trinkets with on use effects that I never use

mint arch
#

i never said i hate it

#

didnt use that word

#

i said it was bad design

#

stop putting words into my mouth for ur argument

hollow dock
#

Even though I think the RPPM system is far worse design since it requires entire random effects where you can get all the glorious procs or just sit there. never getting them

#

thus suffering on charts.

night swift
#

How

lone charm
#

No? No one know about this npc?

zealous basalt
#

No I

hollow dock
#

My reason for that void is that you call it bad design

#

when its just passive design.

It's different, so that means its bad by your logic.

o.o

mint arch
#

wut

#

love the conclusions ur making for me, knowing my thought process

#

amazing stuff

zealous basalt
#

You are acting like Rys now

hollow dock
#

Why else do you think its bad, Void?

mint arch
#

why am i acting like rys? when u put words into my mouth, make conclusions, so on

#

like seriously?

hollow dock
#

I believe you put it as "Ignoring the question~"

mint arch
#

can i type?

#

or no?

zealous basalt
#

Real answer?

#

No

mint arch
#

fck off makore, really

#

vris asked me a question

#

i will answer

#

if u dont want to see it, bugger off

hollow dock
#

You could just answer and ignore him

mint arch
#

sure

zealous basalt
#

Instead of making a drama tbh

mint arch
#

lol

#

discussions = drama

#

cause im disagreeing with Vris

zealous basalt
#

Just answer u fkin casul

mint arch
#

go cry me a river mate GWcentralPikaLUL

#

nah, i will PM the answer to Vris

zealous basalt
#

That's good I guess

ruby star
#

(sorry if this is already posted the video)

hollow dock
#

I saw

#

can't wait to see how they make jaina evil tos omehow make the alliance not the good guys in this

mint arch
#

i think the world tree is where they make alliance bad

#

"bad"

#

or grey

#

or w.e it is they think they're doing

zealous basalt
#

I mean, Jaina has been kinda...extreme since Theramore

hollow dock
#

She's really only been extreme in 1 instance

#

and that was Dalaran's purge. and even then, that was justified and she didn't go all garrosh on the horde.

mint arch
#

^

zealous basalt
#

When she wanted to destroy orgrimmar?

mint arch
#

and they've shown jaina not doing evil/crazy shit after leaving dalaran

hollow dock
#

She never actually destroyed Orgrimmar.

zealous basalt
#

But she was going to

tranquil steeple
#

Keyword was "wanted"

hollow dock
#

So was Varian.

zealous basalt
#

And would have if dragon bf wouldnt have been there

hollow dock
#

If she had done so, we'd have a different conversation

#

but since she never did it, just like Varian, they're not at fault for wanting it

zealous basalt
#

But shouldnt that mean that they arent all gold?

hollow dock
#

We already know they aren't gold

mint arch
#

though i dunno

#

"warbringers"

hollow dock
#

but by comparison, the alliance isn't slaughtering Civilians

mint arch
#

sylvanas brings war, aszhara brings war

tranquil steeple
#

If I'm not mistaken, Varian just wanted the Horde dismantled, not necessarily Orgrimmar destroyed. (though dismantling the Horde could result in Orgrimmar getting destroyed)

mint arch
#

so by that theme, jaina brings war now?

zealous basalt
#

We had a

hollow dock
#

Jaina was always advocating for war with the horde. So it makes sense that she's a warbringer

zealous basalt
#

Warbringers with Maraad

mint arch
#

hm, i guess

hollow dock
#

since theramore that is

#

Lords of war* that series was :p

#

damn good one at that

zealous basalt
#

Oof

#

Wait

#

Warbringers legion

#

With dadgsr

hollow dock
#

That was Harbingers

zealous basalt
#

...

#

Why har

mint arch
#

i mean, khadgar

#

was a Harbinger

#

guldan technically is a Harbinger as well.. of the legion

zealous basalt
#

What be differences?

hollow dock
#

Harbingers bring about news of invasions

mint arch
#

Harbinger: a person or thing that announces or signals the approach of another.

hollow dock
#

Khadgar was a harbinger of the legion invasion to the alliance.

mint arch
#

warbringer... not really a word

hollow dock
#

Illidan was a harbinger of the legion to azeroth.

zealous basalt
#

Tho

hollow dock
#

Ghoulish Daniel was a Legion Harbinger to Azeroth.

zealous basalt
#

Illidan didnt appear until 7.2.5

hollow dock
#

Well he appears during the Illidari orderhall campaign

zealous basalt
#

Chillin in the nether

another Q&A

night swift
#

I could see a throwback boss

mint arch
restive sage
#

when is the ptr shutting down

zealous basalt
#

Today

restive sage
#

where does it say dat

#

asking for someone on the ptr

tropic ruin
#

guys, i'm a bit worried. with the item level squish, have blizzard finally fixed old raids via massive player buffs like in mop>wod or nothing yet?

restive sage
#

can i get an answer

#

orrrr

zealous basalt
#

In the calendar

restive sage
#

it doesnt say dat on the calender

#

.<

mint arch
#

ptr ends on 16th i believe

restive sage
#

im asking for when blizz said that

mint arch
#

lemme check

clever ember
#

There’s no reason for PTR to still be up when the patch goes live.

tulip sun
#

These new shorts o.Oz

#

I cant waif

#

Wait

clever ember
#

Me either

#

I’m excited for bfa.

tulip sun
#

It will show how war changed them apparently

#

Azshara one will be interesting

restive sage
#

just tell me when blizz said it

#

jeez

mint arch
#

or u can help look for it urself

restive sage
#

or copy paste it

mint arch
#

going thru old posts/tweets is not quick

#

-_-

restive sage
#

i have and didnt find it

#

which makes me question

#

whether blizz said it -_-

hollow dock
#

@clever ember The PTR stays up indefinitely now. Whether or not a patch is in testing

restive sage
#

wuuut

#

so it isnt going down today

hollow dock
#

that's how its always been in Legion

grizzled sleet
#

I pray all gods so that Jaina, Sylvanas, Azshara survive BFA

mint arch
#

wut

hollow dock
#

Azshara certainly isnt

mint arch
#

aszhara is raid boss

zinc sandal
#

Sylvanas? Survive BfA? XD

mint arch
#

XD

hollow dock
#

Sylvanas most likely will

#

since the horde isn't omniscient like us

#

and doesn't know that sylvanas is being a piece of shit

zinc sandal
#

Unrelated question:

grizzled sleet
#

Maybe Azshara can still be redeemed

hollow dock
#

Jaina already dies.

#

But we save her

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

zinc sandal
#

Legacy loot mode will make mog hunting easier, but will it also make mount hunting easier?

restive sage
#

so

hollow dock
#

no

restive sage
#

there is no proof that the ptr is going donw

mint arch
#

mount hunting?

restive sage
#

tooday

hollow dock
#

it just returns loot rules to that of pre-BFA

#

so

#

drop rates are the same

restive sage
#

.>

zinc sandal
#

Yes, but you're getting up to 25 people worth of loot

mint arch
#

ya mb, i think it was ptr testing ends 16 or something, ptr itself isnt going down

grizzled sleet
#

it's the event who ends on 16

mint arch
#

but drop rates are the same

hollow dock
#

Yes and that doesn't change the fact that the mount only drops at a 1% chance

grizzled sleet
#

not the whole PTR

restive sage
#

i just wnated 2 know where it said that >.>

hollow dock
#

Like for example

#

The drakes have 1% drop chance in Dragon Soul at 25 man

#

currently I get 25 peoples worth of loot while soloing it

#

Legacy loot rules reverts it from a scaled to 10 person loot back to normal 25 man

#

doesn't give you any more of a chance than now to get mounts

#

as 25 man worth of loot is the same 5-6 pieces of gear that drop

zinc sandal
#

Mhm

grizzled sleet
#

Maybe Azshara escape when defeated, hide somewhere, change, and return to save Azeroth from old gods later murloc

hollow dock
#

Azshara is this expacs Ghoulish Daniel. So 100% she is dying and not doing anything

grizzled sleet
#

When they said Guldan thy just mean last boss of the second raid

hollow dock
#

Uh huh

grizzled sleet
#

doesn't mean she's treated like Guldan

hollow dock
#

I'm doubtful

#

They don't treat women well in Warcraft

#

Especially the raid bosses

grizzled sleet
#

I don't see Azshara coming fomr nowhere since a long time only to die, would be a waste

hollow dock
#

I said the same thing about Elisande

#

and Ghoulish Daniel

#

and Kil'jaeden

rich apex
#

Azshara is 100% the Gul'dan or KJ of BFA

#

She gonna die

restive sage
#

.>

hollow dock
#

and Kael'thas. and Illidan. and Yogg-saron. and Cho'gall. and Sinestra. and Deathwing. and Malygos. and...begins to drone on about all the raid bosses that appear after being missing only to die after having accomplished nothing

grizzled sleet
#

Illidan?

hollow dock
#

points to black temple

rich apex
#

Illidan will be a raid boss in like 12.0

#

Calling it now

grizzled sleet
#

he wasn't dead

rich apex
#

He was supposed to be dead

hollow dock
#

He was back then

rich apex
#

And then we found out he wasn't

#

But yeah

hollow dock
#

he was dead as fuck back then

rich apex
#

In 12.0 Illidan will release Sargeras

#

And Ilidan will be the 12.1 boss leading up to Sargeras in 12.3

grizzled sleet
#

no, 12.0 Sargeras will release himself, controle Illidan and the Pantheon and come to fight awaken Azeroth

rich apex
#

a REDEMPTION ARC?! he's supposed to be dead!

hollow dock
#

a shtty redemption arc at that

rich apex
#

srsly

hollow dock
#

He wasn't even redeemed of anything in the end

#

He just kinda appears

#

does nothing

#

says his job is done

#

then goes to give sargeras the good succ

grizzled sleet
#

He saved us from Xera

#

maybe he does nothing but he knows the way

rich apex
#

Xera did nothing wrong

hollow dock
#

Perfect

rich apex
#

Alternatively

formal coral
#

guys do we know if allied races will be unlocked after BFA launch?

grizzled sleet
#

Without Illidan Khadgar and Velen would be dead murloc

hollow dock
#

we don't

#

We believe the PTRs auto-unlock is just a PTR thing

grizzled sleet
#

We don(t know and we don't expect it

hollow dock
#

khadgar is more than able to make portals across dimensions

#

hell

#

the people khadgar teleports

#

dont even need to be near him

rich apex
#

You need to hit 120 and do the requirements to unlock Dark Irons and Mag'har

#

They're 'available' at launch depending on how fast you level 😛

night swift
#

Also exalted with the reps

grizzled sleet
#

by the way Velen also teleport us from the twisting nether on Kruul's fight

#

when you defeat him

hollow dock
#

Literally

#

useless

#

is Illidan

formal coral
#

i am curious mainly of the void elf, draenei etc

night swift
#

Oh they’ll still be locked behind their reps

agile token
hollow dock
#

alright great

sharp bluff
#

Nice

hollow dock
#

We can now say with 100% certainty that the auto-unlock thing is just a PTR thing

sharp bluff
#

Glad I got them in legion then

night swift
#

I only never got nightborne but that doesn’t bother me

viral terrace
#

@hollow dock Yeah it is a PTR/Beta thing. It helps out with testing them

#

unless it somehow slips into the live pre-patch xd

much like anime

viral terrace

It went

high elves > blood elves > void elves

#

dead elves

sharp bluff
#

idk, I think I would take a dark ranger over a void elf

hollow dock
#

It actually went Dark Trolls> Highborne/Night elves> Highborne Exiles> High elves> Blood Elves> Dead elves> Void Elves

sharp bluff
#

at least dark elves are well established in the lore 🤣

hollow dock
#

dark elves are night elves

sharp bluff
#

you forgot the Shelfs Vris

hollow dock
#

Shal'dorei aren't real elves.

ruby star

did someone say high elves

outer maple
#

anyone know if doing the prepatch event on one faction gives you the mount for both or do you have to do both ?

hollow dock
#

you gotta do both

#

to earn both

sour crown
#

is BFA launching with Mythic+? Or will it come a few weeks later like in Legion

hollow dock
#

it's not a rep mount

#

its not Zerg. Mythic+ will come when Uldir comes out three weeks in

outer maple
#

well crap. my hordes not 110 lol

hollow dock
#

better get started Vore

sour crown
#

Dope, gives me time to farm regular mythics for my BiS traits

uncut vault

You do not need to to both

#

On beta and PTR, doing one earns you both mounts

save yourself for the release

That all beta testers choose

by the time august 14th

comes around

@zealous basalt oi oi, it's a bug the fact high elves are not allied race asmonWOW

perhaps Sargares should join the alliance

I mean

something something ~morally grey~

Who cares about Horde

hmm i wonder what iz fihxed

ruby star

the blood elf bug has been fixed, the blood elves no longer exist

restive sage
#

uh

viral terrace
#

they replaced the blood elves with high elves though

#

so that's a +

#

they also added the new Allied Race: Wisps

ruby star
#

and they are on the correct faction now ;D

zealous basalt
#

I say

#

Let's kill malf and tyrande

#

And change night elves for high elves

uncut vault
#

There likely won’t be a build until at least the week of the 24th

ruby star
#

sounds like a plan Makore

hollow dock
#

Why are you all so quick to wipe out the night elves

#

jesus

tranquil steeple
#

if the night elves' fangs weren't clipped post-cata, they'd win no problem

viral terrace
#

can't you get them back in the old models?

tranquil steeple
#

that's just a jab at how little of a threat night elves has become after cata, in comparison to pre-cata

viral terrace
#

Well

#

One of the nightborne /silly is insulting the night elves even though thousands of years ago they used to be the same.

dense plover
#

Old models are gone

agile token
#

my beta just updated

dense plover
#

They caused too many issues due to skeleton and animation changes

#

Yeah, small build

#

No real changes

#

Prepatch prep

viral terrace
#

@dense plover I thought that you could turn them on in the settings?

#

Or did they remove it in 8.0

#

due to removing 32 bit

dense plover
#

Removed

#

Not due to 32bit

#

But because they caused issues, didn’t look right, often had missing options due to filename changes, and were unnecessary code they had to keep maintaining that caused other issues

zealous basalt
#

It was a bad idea to maintain them at first place

viral terrace
#

but they were there due to some players computers not being able to handle the new models

uncut vault
#

Theyve been using new anims anyways, and both elves no longer have a low res one, plus allied races don’t have any

#

So computer will be struggling no matter what at this point

viral terrace
#

My PC is fine

#

But I'm talking about others

uncut vault
#

point still stands

dense plover
#

It didn’t help struggling computers very much tbh

#

The textures are stored on your computer even when old models are selected

#

It would only have an effect if you were running out of vram

restive sage
#

what didnt help struggling computers

Can we have a moment of silence for Arcane Torrent?
