im getting tired of switching warcheifs

forest tartan
#

well if the loa of death is keeping voljins soul in a jar somplace maybe we can find him a new body

tropic trail
#

I mean, Alliance has only had 2 kings which have switched like 3 different times

onyx mason
#

are you just counting the mmo Kings or all of them

tropic trail
#

The ones you've seen from 2004-2018

onyx mason
#

ok

#

now I hope the Loa spirits that told Voljin to pik Syl and not void

#

Vol was weakened severally and well I'm it would of been hard to tell an actual Loa spirit from a fake one

#

I'm sure*

grizzled sleet
#

Why are people afraid to see Salyvans Wendruiner dying?

uncut vault
#

because why would they kill one of the most well known characters, and the warchief again, for the sake of repeating the exact same story as MoP

zealous basalt
#

For the sake of a crying community tbh

terse patrol
#

She'll step down, or be forced from the position.

#

I suspect she'll disappear and her Forsaken will be tossed into disarray.

#

Then Calia steps in.

hollow dock
#

Why would Calia go horde tho

terse patrol
#

Not saying she'd go Horde.

#

I think Nathanos will stay Horde.

hollow dock
#

You're saying she'll step in for Sylvanas

#

current leader of the horde

#

๐Ÿค”

terse patrol
#

But half of the Forsaken will go with the Alliance.

#

Or go neutral

uncut vault
#

tfw people unironically think theyre gonna do the exact same story as MoP ๐Ÿ˜‚

terse patrol
#

^

#

@hollow dock I'm saying the Forsaken will split between Calia and Nathanos.

uncut vault
#

only chance she's not warchief by the end of the xpac is willingly stepping down or forming a council and ending the position

terse patrol
#

@uncut vault Or being forced out.

uncut vault
#

so, MoP

zealous basalt
#

If Horde really wants to quit her

terse patrol
#

Nah, because she won't be captured.

zealous basalt
#

Because so far no one really doubts about her commands

terse patrol
#

She'll go do something else.

hollow dock
#

The thing is Port

#

Garrosh wasn't forced out

#

he outright left

terse patrol
#

^

#

He told everyone else he was the true Horde.

#

All non-Orcs gtfo

ruby star
#

Slyvanans won't die

#

But she won't stay warchief

terse patrol
#

^

#

She won't stay Horde either, though. She can't stay in the Horde and at the same time there be peace.

#

The Alliance won't stop until they have her head.

ruby star
#

Exactly

#

She'll play an evil part in wrath 2.0

#

Perhaps Bolvar vs Slyvanas

#

I'd support Bolvar tbh

terse patrol
#

I suspect she's going to be Illidan 2.0 sadly.

#

"haha we actually need her"

#

Except Illidan never actively did any of the evil shit in Burning Crusade. It was all the Burning Legion/Kael'thas.

ruby star
#

Though she can't exactly be redeemned

terse patrol
#

The difference would be

#

She actually did the evil shit.

#

And we'll be expected to forgive her.

ruby star
#

Ye

#

You know how Anduin was parrel woth arthas in the cinematic?

terse patrol
#

inb4 she saw a vision and did all this to stop the Old Gods kek

ruby star
#

Whoops twice

terse patrol
#

yes, everyone noticed that I think

ruby star
#

What if

#

Anduin marches on quel'thtlas through greenwood pass lilr Arthas

#

Instead of march of rhe damned its march of the just

#

Or something

#

And shows the parrel

terse patrol
#

I want to see a major Alliance victory that isnt just Sylvanas blowing something up and one upping us.

ruby star
#

Same here

terse patrol
#

I want something that actually pisses her off.

ruby star
#

Perhaps Silvermoon will be our victory

#

As its been teased

#

They don't have to bring silvermoon out of outlans

#

Just make a hd updated one phased in outland

jovial coral
#

Should be easy enough for void elves to get to

ruby star
#

Yeah siege of silvermoon/quel'thtalas could be quite fun, void elves are our elite crack squad so we send them behind enemy lines

#

We could even use the silvermoon study peoplr in the void elf hub to sneak in if need be

tropic trail
#

I'm sure people will notice THEIR PURPLE SKIN

ruby star
#

No

#

The silvermoon study people are not purple

tropic trail
#

"void elves are our elite crack squad so we send them behind enemy lines"

ruby star
#

Yeah we could send them too

#

They probbaly can stealth

zealous basalt
#

...Dudes

#

How people would enrage

#

if in that moment the void elves would mimic their blood elven appearance

#

npcs only tho

ruby star
#

Blood elf toy lmao

jovial coral
#

Sneak in at the dead of night

ruby star
#

I feel like Anduin would march on Silvermoon, do speech and offer the blood elves a chance to rejoin alliance, lor'themar will then insult us, we then start ot siege

uncut vault
#

I mean, more than void elves need some more customization options, patch with Quelthalas content would be a good time to fix some of the nightborne options alongside void elves

zealous basalt
#

cringes to nightborne

#

they look so ugly

ruby star
#

Quel'thalas patch is also perfect time to add the high elves allied race

jovial coral
#

Perfect time to kill them off more likely

ruby star
#

Nah

#

Unlikely

jovial coral
#

Maybe so but I don't think they'll be an Allied race blizzard seems very much against that

#

If their numbers are soon to be reduced that would make sense.

hollow dock
#

Brown

#

Void elves

#

Also, Blizz isn't super against it. They've just found no ways that they can currently distinctly show the two being different.

#

Of which if they'd just take a look at the fan suggestions, they can easily pick something out.

jovial coral
#

So high elves for alliance? What does horde get as an equivalent?

hollow dock
#

Forest trolls

#

give em the Forest Trolls they've wanted for so long

#

the bulky hunchbacks

#

Revantusk is still a horde tribe. And they are a tribe of Forest Trolls akin to the Amani.

jovial coral
#

I see what you are saying that High Elves is something Alliance wants and Forest trolls is something that the Horde wants but I do not think that is even at all.

hollow dock
#

Two races that both sides have wanted

#

since vanilla

#

isn't equal

#

lulk

plain vigil
#

I know some of you don't think we'll get racial armor for each pvp season.... But if we get this mail armor, warfront or not... It's gonma be finna woke.

hollow dock
#

We'll never get racial PVP armor

plain vigil
#

Warfront season one is orc vs human themed.

hollow dock
#

Horde vs Alliance

#

Horde is always mainly orc. Alliance is always mainly Human

#

it was like that in the first set of pVP gear given

plain vigil
#

There's a chance

#

Especially with the loss of class tier

hollow dock
#

the same chance that blizz decides to place some logical thinking into their story

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

We already were told what was replacing class tier tho

#

which is raid themed blanket for each armor type

plain vigil
#

We can have different opinions ๐Ÿ˜„

hollow dock
#

Mines not an opinion

plain vigil
#

You're using conjecture based on your opinion of wow's story development to make a point.

#

An argumentative poi t

#

Something I tried preventing with my statement above.

#

I'm going to leave now

hollow dock
#

Why didn't Jaina teleport away in the Broken Shore, why didn't Jaina freeze all of the blight, why didn't anduin and the other light users simply use their abilities to blast the blight away,

#

etc

#

etc

#

etc

plain vigil
#

Have a good one.

hollow dock
#

There's a lot of logic that's lacking within blizzards story

#

which is all to just push plot

strange falcon
#

vris the argument breaker

#

strikes again

ruby star
#

Dw Horde and Alliance might get dragons soon as allied races

hollow dock
#

there's no reason for that to happen

#

please don't spread that

ruby star
#

Supposedly stella appeared in horde embassy and wrathion alliance and both were disabled, dragon isle teased, wrathions story seems it might get bigger. ๐Ÿค”

#

I mean theres reasons

hollow dock
#

Do they appear there now?

strange falcon
#

i never heard of stella appearing

hollow dock
#

Are they actually there now?

strange falcon
#

and wrathion appeared only at blizzcon

hollow dock
#

if they are not

#

why assume

strange falcon
#

which was early alpha

ruby star
#

Nit they were disabled /hidden

chrome compass
#

As much as I would love dragon allied race... Both would most likely be black dragons.

#

If they happen at all.

strange falcon
#

drorith,it's better not to spread outrageous rumors

chrome compass
#

Which is a very big if.

hollow dock
#

Stellagosa's people are on the brink of extinction, in what mind would she toss them into a war.

strange falcon
#

like highelves being an allied race

#

e.e

#

I DID IT AGAIN

zealous basalt
#

Why would

#

A dragon ally with the horde

ruby star
#

Oh yeah I forgot any Allied race ideas get picked apart on WoW forums or discords lmao

chrome compass
#

Ebonhorn.

hollow dock
#

Yes

#

if you present an idea

chrome compass
#

Is on Horde side.

hollow dock
#

be prepared to defnd

#

said

#

idea

#

that's the point of a public forum

zealous basalt
#

Even if they got abused in the past

chrome compass
#

Both sides have a black dragon basically. Since Wrathion is very pro alliance.

hollow dock
#

Ebonhorn is on the hordes side by association and loyalty to the Highmountain

ruby star
chrome compass
hollow dock
#

not because he's a horde lover

#

if anything

strange falcon
#

also why THE F*CK would stellagosa be the emissary

#

it's pretty clear it would be ebonhorn in that case

chrome compass
#

Still allied to the horde by technicality.

hollow dock
#

he'd be REALLY against joining the horde

#

if he heard

#

what the horde did to his people

#

first

ruby star
#

@strange falcon no idea that was what I was told

strange falcon
#

thats why you do your own research kids

hollow dock
#

Dror if you were told that WoW was ending tomorrow would you just spread that?

zealous basalt
#

Seriously

#

Dragons on horde side

#

Is just a big no

ruby star
#

@hollow dock no, thats a different scenario

hollow dock
#

its a rumor

zealous basalt
#

Unless they want to make them evil and have Twilight dragons

hollow dock
#

You spread em like wildfire

strange falcon
#

it's like the rumor of alliance allying with alexstrasza and horde with bolvar

#

e.e

chrome compass
#

Lich King 2, Icey boogaloo.

ruby star
#

Alliance would ally with Bolvar IMO

chrome compass
#

Please look forward to it.

ruby star
#

Against Slyvanans

zealous basalt
#

Both would

#

Tbh

ruby star
#

Mutually benefits them both

hollow dock
#

You can't defend em, when we rip em apart, you just deflect it off.

chrome compass
#

Bolvar would honestly just kill everyone.

grizzled sleet
#

Sylvanas will become Lich Queen because she can't be corrupted by the helm

zealous basalt
#

I dont really think horde deserves dragons tbh

ruby star
#

Bolvar would most likely find Slynavas a threat , especially the way she is going

hollow dock
#

why?

#

She doesn't have a helm of domination

ruby star
#

Bolvar want all the undead in his control

hollow dock
#

or an order of deathknights under her control

zealous basalt
#

But she has the whip of domination

#

Gigity gigity

chrome compass
#

Technically. Bolvar could just take over her.

hollow dock
#

Sylvanas is a raiding party to Bolvar's grand holy roman empire

ruby star
#

Bolvar needs to help us then

hollow dock
#

why?

#

He has the entire scourge and the ebon blade

#

at his beck and call

chrome compass
#

Bolvar won't help anyone. It's not in his interests.

ruby star
#

Exactly Vris

hollow dock
#

Why would he help us?

#

He has no reason to

ruby star
#

He could deal with Slyvanans like Vermin

chrome compass
#

Technically. The Ebon Blade doesn't answer to the Lich King all the time.

hollow dock
#

If he lets Sylvanas kill us

#

that's even better for him

#

and yes N'n.

#

They do

#

Frost Artifact. Go find the shards of Arthas.

zealous basalt
#

Didn't you do the

ruby star
#

I thought Bolvar learnt to control the helm sort of

zealous basalt
#

DK campaign?

#

It's literally

Doing LK's stuff

chrome compass
#

I don't think the Ebon Blade would go back to servitiude with the Lich King just because it's not Arthas anymore. Also, he does say he doesn't have command of Acherus during the mount questline.

#

That's the player.

#

At his service tho

hollow dock
#

this is not just hte player

#

The deathknights are still bound to the Helm of Domination

#

They were raised with the Helm

#

not just Arthas

#

Sylvanas and her forsaken broke free because they weren't risen by the Lich king

zealous basalt
#

they are bound to the helm

hollow dock
#

just an angsty deathknight who killed his dad

zealous basalt
#

And was really pissed

strange falcon
#

someone photoshop sylvanas sitting on the lordaeron throne with the helm of domination

zealous basalt
#

Because she was a nuisance

#

Like

#

In the whole dk campaign

#

you used to be chill

#

but this hoe comes and breaks ur stuff

hollow dock
#

Again, take note of what he tells us in Highmountain.

#

He doesn't speak of himself

#

he speaks of 1 being

#

The Lich King.

#

Not Arthas

#

Not Ner'zhul

#

Not Bolvar

#

The Lich King.

zealous basalt
#

And can't we obliterate the scourge entirely?

hollow dock
#

There's to many.

zealous basalt
#

Like to stop nedding a lk?

#

needing*

hollow dock
#

You'd be culling them for years.

chrome compass
#

I know the DK campaign is following his orders. Then why exactly would he then say during the mount questline, that he would seize control of Acherus is you died(again) I mean sure he could be bluffing. But I doubt Blizzard have the story telling capacity to pull off bluffs anymore.

hollow dock
#

Like Arthas said, the moment the Lich King called, a simple gesture got the Ebon Blade serving the Lich King once more.

zealous basalt
#

And for what reason even

#

Like

jade basalt
#

To be fair he promised you sweet lootz. I mean, 'artifacts'.

hollow dock
#

this is true Quiet

#

but tbf

#

like

#

real talk

zealous basalt
#

I don't see LK helping the rest of the world after we complete their quests

hollow dock
#

I was willing to join the scourge at ICC

plain vigil
#

Would like to point out that for the first time in wow history, the dragon isles is a confirmed lore location. However, at this moment before a future patch, dragon isles is just as notable as tel'abim. Does it mean we'll go there some day? Possibility. Does it mean we will for sure this expansion or a later? No, but it's possible.

#

@ruby star

hollow dock
#

It's possible.

#

100% it's possible

#

it's also possible we got to Tel'abim

zealous basalt
#

We need more isles

#

Uncover Azeroth map at 100%

plain vigil
#

Honestly Tel'abim is long overdue

dull latch
#

Sentient bananas yes!

hollow dock
#

Dragon Isle is slightly more possible than Tel'abim

#

it really isn't. It's just an island of bananas

#

Why is there so much interest in it?

zealous basalt
#

Because

#

Bananas Vris

#

Everyone love bananas

hollow dock
#

people spread fake rumors?

#

yea I get that

jade basalt
#

There was an interview with Ion, where when asked about the Chromie scenario (which takes place 'in the future', where you're level 112), said that dragons would indeed be relevant in BFA. At some point. To some extent. May have referred to the dragons on island expeditions.. or to the Dragon Isles.

zealous basalt

Imagine horde and

Isn't there a quest for horde and Alliance to go kill gorillas?

zealous basalt
#

ohh banana

#

Its not like blizzard hasn't embraced memes

#

inb4 THICC reaction in the giveaway

#

quite surprised

grizzled sleet
#

i'm still waiting for the 180 days subscription bundle

zealous basalt
#

Didn't they

#

Disable sharding for rp realms?

grizzled sleet
#

yes unless someone is grouped with someone from rp realm

hollow dock
#

they disabled sharding of Non-rp realms with RP realms unless they are grouped together

zealous basalt
#

Apparently mg has shard on sw

hollow dock
#

Yea it'll shard with other RP realms

#

but only shard with non-RP realms when the group leader is from an RP realm

zealous basalt
#

I meant the other kind of shard, where it has shard on its own realm

uncut vault
#

sharding was reactivated yesterday for RP servers in preparation for the xpac launch, and has never been disabled in war mode on RP servers, despite what they said

dense plover
#

^

#

i think the pvp thing is probably due to the massive numbers

zealous basalt
#

So they did reactivate it

#

Think it will be until xpac?

dense plover
#

they are trying to balance horde and alliance in pvp because so many people are using it for rp

#

nno

#

god no

uncut vault
#

yeah for about two weeks, will probably be active till about uldir launch

#

they only activate it for high stress launches

dense plover
#

nah, wont be that long

#

probably a week or so

#

and itll still try and shard within itself

#

the same goes for warmode, it tries to shard with other rp shards first

zealous basalt
#

We need 3 shards

#

A normal-rp shard

#

a pvpv shard

#

and a pvprp shard

dense plover
#

thats not how it works makore

#

it only shards pvp when there are so many more of one faction

#

and then it tries to shard to match faction and rp

#

they talked about how they plan to change it eventually

#

making the launch smooth is higher priority

zealous basalt
#

Ye

#

I know

#

It's just

#

Would have love an announcement

dense plover
#

they did

#

there was a bluepost on warmode pvp sharding

#

and how its mainly due to faction imbalance

zealous basalt
#

No no

dense plover
#

and how they plan to tweak it

zealous basalt
#

On the RP Shard

dense plover
#

they did that too

zealous basalt
#

oh?

#

letmecheck

dense plover
#

they disabled it shortly after prepatch

#

and in that post

#

they said it woul;d be reenabled a few days before launch

#

and then disabled again once the server stress is gone

zealous basalt
#

Ah

#

Like in legion

dense plover
#

yes

#

exactly like in legion

#

they arent planning to make changes

#

its just needed to stop the servers crashing

zealous basalt
#

Ye, i prefer that

grizzled sleet
#

Next expansion will add a new class : Necromancer
Expansion after will add 2 new races : Ethereals and.......

#

MURLOCS

zealous basalt
#

Ah

#

the bok cut made it feel natural now

rich ocean
#

So im trying to remember if there is a "leveling guide" addon for BFA

#

i think there was one for legion...

#

but i cant remember its name.

zealous basalt
#

I dont think so

#

Also

#

Are the pvp sets class themed

#

like

#

one class gets one with different stuff?

#

or for example, all plates have the same set?

rich ocean
#

Oh Zygor.

#

all have all

#

class sets are gone

#

its now armor based

grizzled sleet
#

Gladiator set is a recolor of Warfront set
Elite PvP set is Tier 3 Warfront set

#

or a recolor of Tier 3 Warfront set

#

anyway pvp and warfront are the same

#

Imagine it stays like this, armor based for 10 years, then Blizzard write : Expansion X will feature CLASS THEMED SETS !!!!!!!!

hollow dock
#

I wouldn't mind that tbh

#

Like sure the raid gear doesn't look that great for Uldir, but the questing and dungeon gear look fantastic

grizzled sleet
#

Uldir doesn't count, because it's like EN

#

I think second raid gear will be a lot better

hollow dock
#

unlike EN, Uldir is it's own tier with its own specific theme of gear. It is bland but I kinda like that it is.

#

It's titan based and titan stuff has been bland, sleek, efficient.

grizzled sleet
#

Yea but it seems like they didn't put too much details into it

hollow dock
#

Yea. LFR-Heroic certainly could have used a bit more work, but IMO the Mythic variants make up for it

zealous basalt
#

Ahh that cross rp addon is interesting

dense plover
#

Mimig

#

Gladiator pvp is always a recolor

#

Itโ€™s usually a raid gear recolor

grizzled sleet
#

yea

#

So, alliance lost at teldrassil, and again at lordaeron, their first win should be the warfront right?

uncut vault
#

Assuming each warfront is limited time, which we arent sure yet, yeah theyd likely win

Quick question for Beta players. Do you guys know if at the end of each zone we have a Dungeon quest - Just like Legion did ?

tropic trail
#

It's a bit different to legion (because each faction only levels in half the zones), but most every big storyline culminates in a dungeon.

zealous basalt

So

#

Azerite reorigination thing from uldir

Is like the titan trinkets?

Azerite traits arenr random, ye?

Correct

grizzled sleet
#

You only need piece from raid to get that buff right ? no need to stack 3?

tranquil steeple
#

probably won't stack when the secondary stat % increase is that high

#

(hell even the secondary stat rating itself being that high)

grizzled sleet
#

hopefully, I don't want to be forced to use x3 of the raid trait

tranquil steeple
#

if it does stack I'm expecting a reduced efficiency on subsequent pieces with the azerite trait

You know how blizz is with disminishing returns

You know

Jaina is suddenly op...

#

Someone didn't do MoP questlines

spark ginkgo
#

I don't recall Jaina ever being able to lift a ship from the bottom of the ocean and fly it Peter Pan style.

zealous basalt
#

Hello? Power of a Titan in her Staff?

hollow dock
#

Shes not suddenly op Sne

zealous basalt
#

She never showed her power, which is different, but since mop she has been quite strong

hollow dock
#

She has Aegwynns power, or at least a portion, and absorbed the remnants of Aman thuls power that Lei Shen had and was using to power his armies and machines

#

Until now, none of this had ever been utilized

#

Its like going through a D&D campaign not realizing you have a scroll of resurrection sitting in your bags until the very end.

agile token
#

Exacty that lol

zealous basalt
#

People often forget that she is Jaina Proudmore

spark ginkgo
#

Wow... so all that power is forgotten until now. Who needs continuity?

#

Blizzard's usually been a little better than this at keeping up with continuity. I mean, they've codified most of the lore. You'd think new authors would be made to read that at the very least.

dense plover
#

remember though

#

she didnt permanently clear the blight

#

it was just temporary

#

so she is strong

#

but even jaina cant remove blight with a wave of her handd

spark ginkgo
#

Also... has the Purge of Dalaran been retconned or are we going to pretend that killing people who, while they were Horde races, had nothing to do with what Horde leadership was doing?

night swift
#

Thats still canon I believe

spark ginkgo
#

Because in the novel, the reason Jaina left the coucil was reduced down to 'Angry words'

hollow dock
#

That wasnt racism tho

#

You have events mismatched

#

During MoP jaina led the Kirin Tor

spark ginkgo
#

The purge is never mentioned in the book even though Jaina comes back to Dalaran to meet with Kalec.

hollow dock
#

Yes. Because the Purge happened in MoP

#

While Jaina was leader

sullen dagger
#

regarding the purge

hollow dock
#

In which, it is canon that Aethas did know of what garrosh was doing.

#

And stepped

#

Aside

#

So yes the purge is justified

sullen dagger
#

it was towards the sunreavers and sunreavers only, not the horde

spark ginkgo
#

The murder of women and children isn't worth a foot note, but a few soldiers being killed in Theramore, where Baine freaking warned the entire city what was coming so they could all escape... no. That's worse.

sullen dagger
#

and jaina herself offered to leave HER city

hollow dock
#

The purge removed the Sunreavers and banned the horde from using Dalaran

sullen dagger
#

before attacking

hollow dock
#

Also

#

Yiu got that hella wrong

sullen dagger
#

and the one you kull in the quest, were the ones that refued to leave

hollow dock
#

Jaina nor even Vereesa murdered civilians

#

Just those that resist and attempt to kill

spark ginkgo
#

The assets were also stolen, don't forget that.

hollow dock
#

Jaina imprisons everyone else she comes accross

#

They were the kirin tors outright and when they refused to leave the city, they rebelled and fought back

spark ginkgo
#

Because Jaina has no sense of scope...

hollow dock
#

You are sent to kill them for this

#

She does

#

The horde broke dalarans neutrality

#

The horde

Recieve punishment

spark ginkgo
#

You mean Garrosh

hollow dock
#

Garrosh -is- the horde

#

Literaly

spark ginkgo
#

No

#

He was not

hollow dock
#

The horde lives breaths and dies for the warchief

#

Yes

#

He was

spark ginkgo
#

The other horde leaders were in open rebellion against him by that time

hollow dock

He was warchief at the time that he made the sunreavers steal the bell

#

Nope

#

None were

#

All followed him at the time of the bell.

spark ginkgo
#

Openly, yes. Not behind his back

hollow dock
#

The rebellion didnt start until nearly a year after the purge

That timeline does not add up in my head.

hollow dock

Whats in your head

#

And what happened

#

Dont line up either

spark ginkgo

Come to think of it, has Blizzard ever been good with time? Hell no...

hollow dock

Start of MoP when garrosh makes full official landfall

zealous basalt
#

Then why are you stilll playing

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

hollow dock
#

During the operation shieldwall time

Which was the first few months kf MoP

Thats when the purge happened

Also the Horde didn't rebel until the last phases of shieldwall

You come in here accusing and spouting nothing

#

Hate of the alliance... No. I don't hate the Alliance as a whole. I dislike Greymane as an idiot, Anduin has become a Gary Stu with magical lie detecting bones, and Baine had his balls cut off.

The Alliance is great, best faction IMO but I am bias

Anduin isnt a gary stu tho.

Greymane isnt an idiot either

Tmw having a bad feelign is mary/gary stu sue

spark ginkgo
#

Ugh... That's not what I am saying. In order for the story to move in the book, everyone had to hold the idiot ball because Anduin would have caught them in a lie. Calia had to be an idiot to get in on the meeting, for instance.

zealous basalt
#

what the heck are you on?

hollow dock
#

Why would she? Sylvanas is out of the loop

#

He council actively opposes sylvansd

#

Are you sure you read the book?

night swift
#

Is he high rn?

spark ginkgo
#

Yes. I read the book. With Anduin being raised as a royal, he would have known the political cluster bringing Calia to any meeting would have caused.

#

Sylvanas is just a cartoon character at this point. I never liked her as Horde leader. Vol'jin was better, but he got killed before having much actual screen time as Warchief.

hollow dock
#

Except that no one knew calia was there.

spark ginkgo
#

Anduin did

hollow dock
#

Not even Sylvanss

#

Literally. The whole thing was a big fuck up of an accident

spark ginkgo
#

Anduin knew because she asked Anduin if she could attend. She wore a hood so no one could see her face

#

Read the book again

hollow dock
#

Yes. I know. NONE OF THE HORDE DID THO

#

So whats the danger?

spark ginkgo
#

Because most of the Forsaken were from Lordaeran and would have recognized her and Sylvanas has a hate boner for anything to do with Menithil

hollow dock
#

EXCEPT THAT ALL THR FORSAKEN THERE WERE AGAINST SYLVANS

#

How do you not know this purpose?!

spark ginkgo
#

Only the Desolate council was at the meeting.

zealous basalt
#

And those wanted to go with their families

spark ginkgo
#

And of that council, only a little more than half were actually killed.

hollow dock
#

Literally, the desolate council and those that follow them are AGAINST sylvanas. They want to die.

zealous basalt
#

And actually everyone of the council died

spark ginkgo
#

The ones who had gotten along well with their families but came back when called were also killed.

#

No. Not the whole council.

#

Only those who'd had bitter relations with their human relatives.

they didnt even see the massacre sylvanas committed

At this meeting

And the ones who had been rejected on the field and came back early were also spared.

Wwhen sylvanas went berserk

she killed every forsaken out on the field

The whole thing was an exercize to see who could be trusted

So. In her attack

#

As I keep saying

#

When she kills everyone

spark ginkgo
#

I might have to find the page and paragraph.

dense plover

but she doesnt, she only kills those out on the field vris

hollow dock
#

Yes. In

#

Her

#

Attack

tulip sun
#

Desolate council is not totally wiped

dense plover
#

it specifically mentions how some forsaken were rejected and returned home to the undercity over the course of the day instead of watching everyone else be happy while they lost all hope

hollow dock
#

Right. I get that

#

I keep saying when she actually goes berserk and starts slaughtering everyone indiscriminately.

#

She doesnt kill everyone?

tulip sun
#

We said she does. She kills anyone in the field

dense plover
#

no

#

she only kills those on the field

#

Thank you

tulip sun
#

In the field

#

We are saying the same thing

dense plover
#

whether or not they were going to run back or run towards anduin

#

but

#

there were some forsaken who went to the event

spark ginkgo
#

The ones who had been rejected early lived

dense plover
#

but were not out on the field

#

those forsaken lived

#

though they do not know the atrocity sylvanas committed

hollow dock
#

So if they werent there. They werent there to die. Thanks for clarifying that.

#

I guess what I keep thinking is that those that left, also left the council.

#

They wouldnt oppose sylvanas if there isnt anything left for them

spark ginkgo
#

"The only Desolate Council members I trust are the ones who returned
to me early on, broken and bitter. Truly Desolate. All the othersโ€ฆI cannot
allow that sentiment, that hope, to grow. It is an infection ready to spread. I

They didnt oppose her to start with

#

Their leader was loyal till she died

spark ginkgo
#

There.

hollow dock
#

Yes they did? The council was formed opposing sylvanas as they wanted to die

spark ginkgo
#

I just posted a quote...

#

Go to that page and see it for yourself,

tulip sun
#

If they wanted to die, they could kill themselves. That is not opposing her reign

#

Opposing her is what Calia did

hollow dock
#

Yes it is?its very mucb opposing sylvanas goals

#

Its opposing all shes doing. Its opposing Sylvanas

#

Sylvanas even gets annoyed at them

#

And nathanos has to point out that its the point of free will

spark ginkgo

posts a quote to prove her point... gets ignored

hollow dock
#

Yes youre right. There.

#

Happy?

spark ginkgo
#

Thank you. I'd rather not be dog piled.

hollow dock
#

Regardless. The horde actively broke dalarans rules. Jaina as ruler of Dalaran, granted without input or discussion, moved to imemdiately remove the horde.

spark ginkgo
#

Which was not the best decision

hollow dock
#

No it wasn't, but using dalaran as a staging area to attack an alliance city opens dalaran to being attacked by both sides

spark ginkgo
#

She was unhinged because of Garrosh's actions. The bombing of Theramore was the last straw for most of those in the Horde

hollow dock
#

She wasnt actually

#

The alliance side shows she got better

ruby star
#

Jaina and the Silver covenant made the right choice

hollow dock
#

She was using dalaran as the ultimate reason to trust the horde again

tulip sun
#

Jaina aint the leader of Dalaran anymore

hollow dock
#

We arent speaking of now Kham

spark ginkgo
#

Listen... neither the Alliance Nor Horde are all bad or all good. It's morally grey. Until we get to this expansion. Then it because a saturday morning cartoon.

hollow dock
#

We never said it was sen

#

Jaina was more than justified in her actions

sharp bluff
#

Quick question, does anyone besides Sylvanas know what happens to dead forsaken? since we are talking about them dying

hollow dock
#

Doesnt make them right

spark ginkgo
#

The Alliance burries them

sharp bluff
#

no i mean in the shadowlands

hollow dock
#

The alliance isnt apart of the Kirin tor anymore

#

That falls to Khadgar and the council

spark ginkgo
#

And Khadgar is tired of both faction's crap

hollow dock
#

In which, when information comes out for the horde breaking dalarans law

#

Yes

#

Banishment is the right course of action

#

The sunreavers jaina captured stayed in the hold as legitimate prisoners of war because the horde made their move to make dalaran involved in the war

obtuse token
#

so how much grinding is involved in getting one piece of azerite gear?

hollow dock
#

zero

#

You're awarded your starting pieces in questing

#

The specific pieces of Azerite gear drops from specific bosses across all the dungeons, won't drop from the weekly M+ caches, and raid bosses.

obtuse token
#

it's the getting the ones from boss drops I'm worried about

hollow dock
#

They drop like any other piece of gear, and if you get online and check the loot tables, certain bosses only drop azerite gear.

#

IIRC

#

Oh right got it a bit wrong @obtuse token Certain bosses will drop the azerite gear for the armor type, azerite gear is not class specific.

Did sylvanus commit a war crime by using blight?

#

Cause she just did a theramore

#

Cause after wrathgate I thought it was banned

tropic trail
#

It's technically always been banned even before that

#

Because you know

#

Necromancy

ruby star
#

even without the blight she still commited war crimes, like Tell, that was a war crime and mass genocide

sullen dagger
#

i guess that's like nukes

tropic trail
#

Not really

#

It's more like chemical weapons

#

mana bomb is the nuke

sullen dagger
#

which is kida forbidden aswell

#

kinda*

#

mass destruction weapons, i was refering

#

or at least uncontrollable after it's deployment

tropic trail
#

You can control them to an extent, it's just whether or not you want to risk doing that

Chemical warframe and weapons are mega illegal

Just sayin

yep

#

guys, isnt the azshara vid super late?

zealous basalt
#

We are

#

Probably going to get it late in the game

sullen dagger
#

werent one each week till launch?

#

maybe it will release with the actual xpac

steel venture
#

yeah but battle for lordaeron came out and gave us three extra cinematics

#

and old soldiers came out a little before that

#

so azshara warbringers probably on the 14th

heavy cairn
#

I'm excited. I don't even need azshara on the 13th/14th

#

expansion will come with several cinematics, that's enough for me.

#

but if azshara does come out I guess I won't mind ๐Ÿ˜‰

sullen dagger
#

yeah, the thing is they said that

zealous basalt
#

THEY SAID NOTHING M8 slams hand

heavy cairn
#

yea Blizzard gave no release schedule

#

just said "the coming weeks" or something lol

#

I'm thinking azshara will be a few days to a week after launch. or maybe it'll be a day or so before.

#

a short while before legion came out, there was this little video that showed several clips from ingame legion cinematics (val'sharah, suramar, stormheim, plus re-showing some stuff from illidari and broken shore). it was a nice preview of what was going on, maybe the azshara warbringer video could end up serving the same purpose (and be released a day or two before launch).

New allied races?

It's one year expac?

or year half?

two years

8.1 announced at gamescon, maybe new allied races, perhaps announce plunder isle zone story content , nazajtar raid of course etc

I highly doubt any of those will be in 8.1, except maybe allied races.

zealous basalt
#

I would like

#

If they make the expac last longer wit gud content

heavy cairn
#

nazjatar seems like 8.2 kind of thing

uncut vault
#

Thatโ€™s my bet. Since BfAโ€™s main breakaway from Legion is 8.1 being a full on content patch, as opposed to a small instance and story based patch like 7.1

fierce crane
#

I can't imagine the other two allied races we know are coming would be held off for too long.

urban dew
#

They already said Azshara would be 8.1 raid boss

heavy cairn

oh, didn't hear that.

uncut vault
#

Azshara is 8.1.5, more precisely

#

Nighthold

zealous basalt
#

Don't mention suramar

ruby star
#

Though I'd love Dragon Isle more tbh, guess thats either 8.2 or 8.3. Though I'd also love greenwood pass or quel'thrhlas patch; Anduin marchinv on Quel'thalas likr Arthas, instead if march of thr damnrd it would be march if the just and parrle each other

uncut vault
#

And unlike 7.1, weโ€™ll likely be getting a full zone of content similar to Broken shore or argus for 8.1

zealous basalt
#

Uncover

#

All the isles around the malestrom

#

malestrom pls

ruby star
#

@uncut vault thoughts on that?

uncut vault
#

I can see dragon isles being either 8.2 with a Quelโ€™thalas warfront, or a .5 content thing similar to Chromie

#

Small story tangent in the same vein that Isle of Thunder was

ruby star
#

Hell yeah

zealous basalt
#

Uncover Chromie's death scenarios

#

i want to know who sends stuff to kill her

ruby star
#

Quel'thtlas warfront would be awesome

#

High elves and Void elves vs blood elves and Nightborne

uncut vault
#

Best bet is Silvermoon will be bubbled off by Banโ€™dinoriel for the sake of not updating it, and allowing flying in the new zone

zealous basalt
#

wat in tarnation

ruby star
#

They can update it

#

They can phase it and update it HD keep it in outland

zealous basalt
#

I wonder how fucked would the game become if they dare to update old zones

ruby star
#

If they are lazy

#

HD silvermoon retaken by alliance painted blue again is the dream

fierce crane
#

Imagine the salt.

ruby star
#

Only people with salt would be BE players tbh

uncut vault
#

Silvermoon itself will likely not be the warfront. Iโ€™d love it, but itโ€™ll likely be at the river between Eversong and Ghostlands. The entirety of QT is a full on zone with full mountains, with the exception of Silvermoon. Bubbling it off in the warfront phase similar to Vanilla Dalaran would allow them to make the zone HD and focus on building new warfront assets, instead of revamping the city into something entirely new to accommodate the new spaces

#

Story wise it makes sense to be the focus, but warfronts arenโ€™t as design intensive as recreating Silvermoon would be

ruby star
#

@uncut vault Maybe so, however greenwood/pass could work too

#

I mean it only makes sense for the Alliance to march in Quel'thalas

heavy cairn
#

I hope if they do what you are saying, porter, that HD quel'thalas gets integrated into eastern kingdoms continent

ruby star
#

Perhaps Anduin offers the BE a chance ti rejoin thr alliance, ans vereesa tries to redeem them, which leads to lor'themar insulting us so we attack

fierce crane
#

Which is funny because he's tried rejoining quite a few times.

uncut vault
#

It would be nice if they would, but if it is a warfront, reintegrating isnโ€™t required, as Arathi is essentially an instance that you enter and exit via your base portal

heavy cairn
#

oh, was unaware.

uncut vault
#

Itโ€™s in the open world for immersionโ€™s sake

heavy cairn
#

arathi instance allows flying?
just asking because you mentioned HD QT would

ruby star
#

Yeaah they could honestly update Quel'thalas and phase jt/instance it and make it HD

zealous basalt
#

I hope not

ruby star
#

Arathi warfronts has no flying

#

Would ruin it

heavy cairn
#

to be clear, the "open world" part has no flying either? i.e. where the world boss is, rather than the actual battle?

ruby star
#

Open world doe

uncut vault
#

It does have flying for the open world version, and the open world QT likely would too, which is why bandinoriel will likely come into play

heavy cairn
#

OK, then I still don't understand how that could be done without reintegration into EK

ruby star
#

HD quel'thalas wouldn't need flying and if they updated Quel'thrals is would most likely stay in outland but

#

It would mean no flyjng

zealous basalt
#

Hmm but

#

to reintegrate qt entirely

#

would be

ruby star
#

Hard

zealous basalt
#

remaking the whole azeroth

#

To last gen assets

heavy cairn
#

do the mountains not already match on both sides?

zealous basalt
#

And you know that they don't want that

fierce crane
#

Still waiting on them to update models from ages ago.

uncut vault
#

Because similar to the work it would take to reintegrate Silvermoon as a real city instead of smoke and mirrors, erasing Vanilla Quelโ€™thalas and putting both the old and new Quelโ€™thalas into the open world is a lot of work

ruby star
#

Would take a lot of work hwnce why they keep it in outland and just phase/instancea HD one

uncut vault
#

Work that warfronts currently donโ€™t demand

heavy cairn
#

not asking for old QT in open world

#

just for new

ruby star
#

Thwy could update QT and make it HD and phase it no probpem

#

But open world wjll take too much work sadly

heavy cairn
#

hmm

#

my point was

#

doesn't QT map file include part of eastern plaguelands?

#

therefore, isn't there a seamless transition already created?

zealous basalt
#

seamless transition?

hollow dock
#

It doesn't.

heavy cairn
#

oh

hollow dock
#

QT's area is very much JUST

#

ghost lands

#

and QT

#

You can open a map editor of WoW's files and see it's on the same plane as the Outland map is

#

It's 100% separated off of EK

heavy cairn
#

oh I know it's on the same plane of outland

#

and it's separate

but for some reason I thought it had a tiny tiny fragment of plaguelands

ruby star
#

The easiest way is for them to Update QT HD one is to phase/instance it keeping jn outlandif course

heavy cairn
#

of course.

#

that is quite obviously the easiest way. it's just not a way that allows flying

#

unless they make invisible walls far before you get close enough to the mountains to see over them

hollow dock
#

The same is true in reverse

ruby star
#

Which might happen in BFA but might not only thing against it is what tjey said at blizzcoon ut stuff changes drasticly

hollow dock
#

Eastern Plaguelands does have a tiny bit of Ghostlands

#

which might be what you're thinking

heavy cairn
#

oh.

ruby star
#

You can go to ut

hollow dock
#

but that is Vanilla Ghostlands. So before the actual work was done in BC

ruby star
#

The invisible wall is down

heavy cairn
#

wait really

ruby star
#

Not intended of course

hollow dock
#

You can slip by the invisble wall, even get to see old Stratholme and all that goodness

#

but it's technically glitching out the game

ruby star
#

Yeah

heavy cairn
#

I'm not going to do that

zealous basalt
#

And you can get the boot

#

or get tported out by a gm before saying "stop sneakin"

ruby star
#

Nah

#

GM doesn't know

#

About it yet

hollow dock
#

I mean the glitch has existed since I think MoP

ruby star
#

But the attention its bringjng means they will

#

Yeah but more invisible wall is down

#

Scarlett monastery and hearthglen

#

You can also swim around via sea or fly

heavy cairn
#

well going to ghostlands instance in game without glitches, I can see some of the eastern plaguelands trees, but it's pretty obviously just void after a short while

zealous basalt
#

...

#

slowly sends ticket

hollow dock
#

Yup.

zealous basalt
#

smirks and snitches

hollow dock
#

in any case, adding QT, and Exodar, into the vanilla world maps would be a lot of work

#

and god knows what cutting out those swaths of the map to put them in would do to the rest of the game

exodar doesn't need to be put back

#

they just need to add more ocean around it then put invisible walls

ruby star
#

Hence why they update QT aand phase it while staying in outland

heavy cairn
#

boom flying

hollow dock
#

If they do one, they have to do the other

heavy cairn
#

they only need QT because it's right next to another zone

#

exodar is an indeterminate distance from mainland

zealous basalt
#

They need to make fully azeroth seamless

#

Like, being able to fly to Kalimdor by ourselves

heavy cairn
#

azuremyst isle does not need to be integrated to the kalimdor server for the same reason EK doesn't

#

it's far away

#

and separated by large swath of ocean

ruby star
#

Vris is there any IG stuff etc, teasing the horde want to invade exodar? Like specific info

hollow dock
#

but so is teldrassil. Technically, lorewise, Azuremyst and Bloodmyst can be seen from the shores.

#

and nope

#

they're being left alone

heavy cairn
#

was unaware of that lore fact

ruby star
#

Well they might not

heavy cairn
#

for gameplay purposes though there's no need for the islands to be seen from the shore. unlike QT which you can literally see unfinished zones from either side on live (tiny bit of plaguelands from ghost lands, vanilla ghost lands from plaguelands)

ruby star
#

Stuff from Blizzcon changes drasticly

#

If QT got updated for warfront or story content, it wouldn't require exodar getting updated if its a phased and story relevent

#

It seems they are updating zones when becoming irrelevant llike ararhi

heavy cairn
#

from inside the ghostlands instance on live, I can see plaguelands up to the blue line:

#

so theoretically there is a reasonable smooth transition already implemented

actually I can see some trees that are a bit farther

ruby star
#

QT is teased though might not come this expansion but it could come this expansion so we gotta wait and find out

hollow dock
#

in theory yes

ruby star
#

I'm not gonna base my judgement on what they said at Blizzcon as stuff could change drasticly since then and who knies what blizzard has un store they are full of surprises

hollow dock
#

but with how actual implementation works, you cannot overlay them

#

that just causes more issues

ruby star
#

Exaclty why I see if it does happen might not then they'd just updated and phase it

#

And keep it in outland

zealous basalt
#

Because

#

Anything

#

causes issues

heavy cairn
#

sure, you can't simply overlay them. oceans probably don't line up, etc.

#

even with lordaeron not all the map changes were accounted for, some doodads are floating where the zeppelin towers were

ruby star
#

Personally I's love it to go in overworld but it would be easier for them to update and phase it

#

I outland

heavy cairn
#

however with that smooth transition already implemented, it would be at least easier than designing something from scratch

#

I would think

uncut vault
#

Honestly another reason I hope they never integrate QT into the open world is because Vanilla QT is cool

heavy cairn
#

eh

zealous basalt
#

QT is cool

#

But

#

blood elves fuck it

uncut vault
#

I love the little highborne ruins, original deatholme

heavy cairn
#

sure but you can always look at those, someone's surely archived the map files

#

on live, you're not allowed to go there so there's really no problem if they are removed

uncut vault
#

Looking at them and going to them are very different

ruby star
#

Fuck the BE, they can go live in Suramar r somewhere else

uncut vault
#

Iโ€™ve got a warlock parked back behind the barriers for RP

ruby star
#

Alliance will retake Silvermoon it will be our first victory

#

Tell was a defeat our city wa burned and our people were mass genocided, lorderon we didn't retake it due to Slyvanans, she destoryed two cities.

reef magnet
#

did they take beta down because why it say install agine

ruby star
#

Beta should be up

reef magnet
#

i been in beta for weeks why it say install agine

grizzled sleet
#

@ruby star first victory is supposed to be Arathi warfront

#

and horde will win next warfront

#

on Kalimdor

heavy cairn
#

hit the locate button viper

#

should be near the install one

zealous basalt
#

inb4 horde loses all warfronts

grizzled sleet
heavy cairn
#

well hey the horde has it coming

#

they always seem to win

grizzled sleet
#

They can't win Arathi

zealous basalt
#

They cfan't win the hearts of the people

grizzled sleet
#

They made peace their enemy

zealous basalt
#

They made hinata their enemy

grizzled sleet
hollow dock
#

fucking

#

weebs

reef magnet
#

so there is a update

heavy cairn
#

wait is there a serious reason why horde can't win arathi?

dense plover
#

i mean

#

they can for a bit

hollow dock
#

I mean what forces are fighting over it are leftovers from the horde defendors of Lordaeron

dense plover
#

but permanently?

#

no

#

story reasons mostly

zealous basalt
#

its like

dense plover
#

but also, way more alliance soldiers and resources

zealous basalt
#

alliance winning barrens

tropic trail
#

Not really.

#

Barrens is kinda core territory of the horde

#

Arathi is not core to the alliance of today

hollow dock
#

The alliance will get an invading party and several bases set up.

heavy cairn
#

horde would only have forces from the sea (zandalar, orgrimmar) and maybe blood elves from QT. however alliance controls lordaeron, blood elves can't get through.
meanwhile alliance has forces from sea as well (kul tiras) plus ironforge is nearby which has a tram to stormwind as well.

I can definitely agree it's improbably that horde will win, especially given alliance will have the upper hand in terms of reinforcements.
