Aliance right
well the bfa cinematics with continents turning blue/red kinda hinted at that happening
And we blow up
Kul tiras, Zandalari, Kezan, Broken Isles
And anything I'm the middle
In
and pandas swimming around on a wounded, but healed turtle

wow honk you're the fourth word in a wowhead article
You are famous now
All I did was bring it to their attention.
Man the people on the scroll of lore are going to hunt you
What's that cute elf
Olivia from Asobi Asobase. She dresses up like a “sexy alien spy” in a scene for a shitty school sci fi short film. That show is good for reaction images.
Not an elf then?
Nah
TRASH
Ok so
Let me get this straight
Horde has a shitty prepatch writting
Shitty writting for the maghar
Both sides got pretty bad prepatch writing
And a dead loa
In game, at least
While Alliance gets all the warfronts?
🤔
I buy it
I honestly want to see Anduin snapping tho
I mean, biggest complaint about the faction war is that it’s always Horde acts, alliance reacts
This gives the Alliance some proactive story points, finally
Horde finally paying for their bs?
I buy it double
Finally Alliance is going to show Horde to not act like if the world belongs to them
...what ir Sylvanas kills Taelia and makes Anduin go homicidal
Anduin won't go homocidal
number 1
Taelia and Anduin have no relationship. they've met. once.
they aren't in love @zealous basalt
Seems like the Andun and Arthas marching on Quel'thalas parrels is happning which is great
I'm here you dumb orc slaps
I hope Anduin is a war commander for Quel’thalas
And does it have to be in love to be pissed about a friend being killed
I feel it will be Vereesa (Silver covenant) Halford (7th legion) and Alleria (Void Elves) as it seems warfront leaders bring in unquie troops
Add Moria
And make it being a all for all
I mean, it should be a all vs all
And finally make horde lose
Because they wont hold against the full might of all the alliance
And force all blood elves into void elves
Oh yes
Technically they shouldn't be surviving this war at all
Make those bitches void slaves
Between Gnome tech and things like the Vindicaar
I think southern Barrens will be the dwarf warfront
what if jaina flood mulgore in the warfront like she wanted to do with or
org
that would explain why all the water is there
ACTUALLY
LETS FUCK ALL FANTASY HAVE THE GNOMES MAKE ASSAULT RIFLES WITH FUCKING CHAINSAWS
you mean make a Gears of War crossover with WoW
because these are the dudes with assault rifles with chainsaws on them
WHY NOT ADD THEM INTO A RIFLE
AND MAKE WOW REALLY GOREY
AHH Im happy
Finally
I got tired of Alliance being the nice that don't do shit
i cant imagine the chinese version of a gorey wow
or replaced by bread and those hay golems
Well damn
Silver moon warfront
If that actually happens, I’ll be genuinely surprised and happy
Nah, it’s unlikely they’ll delve into anything in Quel’thalas 😛
I know
It’ll probably be eversong/ghostwoods
Or maybe that still unused zone south of quelthalas
Above the plaguelands
I honestly don’t expect actual Silvermoon, and never really have. Would be really cool, but will likely end up as horde in eversong, Alliance in ghostlands
I could see the Alliance cleansing Deatholme and building their base over its ruins.
i want to see rebuilt windrunner spires
Oh I see
it's called the "silvermoon warfront"
I'm thinking silvermoon will be the Stromgarde of the warfront, (i.e. bigger and more poised for victory)
and that deathholme thing makes sense, it's only that the warfront scenario would be way too big in that case
unless they do something considerably different
"what do you call a tub full of paladins?"
idk
a bubble bath @heavy cairn
lets not get too excited about that warfront stuff
...
has been in since the first build of beta before arathi warfront was in that list
probably just abandoned experiments if even that
@strange falcon the paladins in my guild hate me, everytime they want to bubblehearth I move them with leap of faith 
Horde 56.7% Alliance 43.3% EU
44.6% allaince 55.4% Horde US
the Alliance population has skyrocketed down D:
People dont have faith on their faction
Can high elves be druids??
The alliance pop has skyrocketted down?
Wat? i can't even
@jovial coral High elves are prior name of blood elves, I am not sure lore-wise but in game they cannot.
I'm pretty sure the first worgen were elven druids so they can lore-wise. Bliz just hates letting their fans have fun
im quite sure those were night elves druids
@jovial coral yes they can be druids.
also, the pop drop of alliance is due to the power of horde racials
Lots of min maxers play horde because the horde just have a lot better racials than alliance
Me asked
To ion
But asked something bout story because everyone was asking about the game system
Do reddit notifies you if someone replies?
Yes
Welp, most of the questions are 400+ so I give up
@ruby star where are those stats from, out of curiosity? its interesting info
Think they are done with the AMA?
theyll probably say when
but suffice to say, its quite the shitshow
Im looking forward to the next T&E
Might be a long time till they do the Q&A now
I just want to know what do they have planned for the future in terms of story and if they will do something about that inconsistence in the vanilla zones or would just leave them like that
i suppose those aren't the questions they aren't looking for
Yeah they'd probably reveal stuff like that at blizzcon
oh well
I was thinking it would be kinda cool if azerite started creeping up all over Azeroth in less quantities and as you level you'd collect it and finally use it somehow during Max level or whatever
Improve the AI with some symbiosis response
People are already crying with how the things are
If you make a smart AI people will leave the game because the AI will fuck them all
If that's really the case they can make it a dumb AI with symbiosis response
Symbiosis in the sense that the npc would use different spells or attacks depending on the class not necessarily spec
But it's an idea they could build on and make better
Or say if you hit an Earth elemental with enough fire damage it'll lash lava at you
Hmm
Bee mount confirmed
where does it say
9,765 votes and 11,169 comments so far on Reddit
looks like this channel will be back in business soon
I don't care about bee mount, I just want bee polymorph on my horde mage :(
How so Port

[makore] #latest-news-old
Dragons pls :c
Id mostly expect an announcement of the allied races, whatever new island/islands we're getting related to the naga, and potentially the zuldazar raid, if theyre still doing that
meh, just a void dream
I should resignate about dragons in BfA and start thinking that Dragon Isles was just mentioned and will never be a thing
no u
oh, we might get warfront info too
since ion admitted that more are needed to have the cycle feel right
would be cool if there was always one up, i.e. once all 4 datamined warfronts are in
but honestly they are probably going to pull something stupid with ilvl drop / reqs
@uncut vault I got the stats from realm pop, As it's been updated for BFA
Aye, it's quite interesting to look at
Void elves already being more populated at 120 than four other alliance races says a lot about how Blizz didn’t really care about the faction blur and population stuff
Maybe a certain other elven race would do good to help balance out the numbers 🤔
Cause they certainly won’t be getting better through the xpac, with Zandalari and possibly vulpera
I can hardly click the little part for Mag'har Orc lol
Yah it’s hard lol
Dont say high elves for horde port
hIgH eLvEs FoR hOrDe
san'layn
¯_(ツ)_/¯
maybe he was in mod training and that's why he's not been around often
Now he is going to ban the people here in revenge
Oof
And alliance too
dro¿
Drorith
Ye the HE nerdy boy
ah
I still am sceptical on high elf for either faction.
BAN
tbh if blizz decides to give horde HE it's going to break so much lore
Do you think blizzard cares
Anything could happen. Examining everything they said and such, and looking at the gold eyes- I think the closest we will get, if anything at all, may be in fact blue for blood elves.
Also wanted to share that
Those concepts look pretty awesome for Broken and Mok'nathal! 😄
Honestly I have to agree, Mok'nathal looks pretty badass, while broken seem pretty cool, I'd defiantily make one
Oh no
I feel like Mok'nathal would be pretty cool for horde, Their model looks pretty awesome not gonna lie
Dro is going to ban you because you are horde filth that doesnt like HE
Just stop already please
What?
moknathol are very unlikely tbh
there are very very very few of them
definitely less than 100
Numbers don't matter. If they want to yhey make a way
they somewhat matter
lore wise they need to be a somewhat decent sized force
void elves probably number in the low thousands in canon
moknathol dont have even 100
Peach
Number doesn't matter
Horde are a bunch of idiots that will lorebreak in order to get their stupid allied races
It happened with the Mag'har
There is nothing shit writting can do
maghar had a between several hundred and several thousand
the entire force remaining on draenor came to azeroth
Makore....can we not be like this?
No
I dislike the fact that they have to use a bronze dragon to break their own rules
It is not shit writing because you don't like the story
Because apparently the horde character is too special
It is easy to see why they'd do it
Yes
draenor is in a parallel timeline
And they said they weren't going to do that anymore
its the same that kairoz did
Why is it different?
no they didnt
They see, or at least could, see the future. Posibilities.
I'll tell you why
they never said they wouldnt do that again
Because Horde bias
Maybe Maghar are needed
really?
Yes
horde bias
Really
we got recolored orcs
Mag'har were never needed
people wanted them for RP
No Khamnin, the horde scenario is the worst writting ever
Allied races in general are.great.for.rp
XD
If you can't see it, then you are really blind
someone didnt play actual warlords
And I meant the Mag'har
dude, the scenario writing isnt shit, its just lame
Because the only moment they dare to add dragons, is to make a shitty scenario
That's why
so we should never see dragons ever?
So it is the bronzr
Honestly
also
With this kind of writting
You can't wrap your head around potential reasonings.
makore, dragon isles are likely
I would be more glad if they just extinct all dragons
why?
It isn't shit though.
Because honestly, blizzard doesnt do what to do with them anymore
it sounds like you just dont like high fantasy
i mean super strong magics
I just can't stand what they are doing with them anymore
There are two reasons
First, you make them powerless, i was okay with that
Not enough with it, you make them sterile for a shitty reason
Either a good future requires the Maghar, maybe even the Botani or Saberon, and this was required to get that future.
Why¡? Why curse them to the extintion?
Or this is the beginning of their corruption
Wasn't making them powerless enough?
I am not the one that is killing High Fantasy, blizzard is
And I a afraid that they will add the dragon isles just to do some shit writting about them
Or well
the one eye-roller in the Mag'har scenario for me was the subtle as a brick 'I am my scars' reference
Making Wrathion a boss somehow
And not happy with that
They go and kill Ysera.
What
Is every character that isn't relevant going to die?
Then let's go and be dead everyone
cenarius was killed by Grom Hellscream and came back soon enough in the narrative
I don't think Blizz is ever going to do that with Ysera
And why pull her back?
She is not the aspect anymore
Dragons at this moment are just relevant for lame stuff
But after everything, even a cockroach has more relevancy that the big winged lizards
if void elves were in the thousands, silvermoon would be in a state of crisis, because that's a large loss for a nation still on its first generation after near-genocide
Silvermoon would be in political uproar, because thousands of people who turned to the void instead of the sunwell is a big deal
Numbers don't matter.
Numbers dont matter to shitty writting
Makore, go have a tantrum somewhere else. This is not the channel
You would be the same if you were alliance, horde boi
Oh sure, you play both but still get feed with anything that says "Horde" no matter how lame or bad the thing is, Kham, from all the time I have been here, you have been acted that way, Horde would be a bunch of slaughterers but they are okay, eh?
My issue is not the horde, but how bad they butchered something that Iliked that were the dragons, it would be have different if they pulled other sort of trick that didn't mean dragons
Like some remnant of the nightwell
Or delving into the deeps of the tomb of sargeras for the eye of aman thul
but nope, let's butcher dragons, lets make them less relevant, but you have your mag'har
Which in the end won't be relelvant to the war campaign.
You just refuse to see the possibilities. Having one dragon do this deed doesn't ruin anything.
Its not just one dragon
Its the son of Nozdormu, the time lord
He was the second most important member of the flight after Soridormi, but that meant shit
Good future with Mag'har
The only future those beast are going to find is being overly destroyed along the rest of the Horde filth
And Saberon and Botani? Those are going to slowly die when they find that Azeroth doesn't have enoughSpirit element
They obviously are not going to die out.
Either they wither or get killed by Horde
Or in the worst aspect
Just be forget
forgotten*
No no, go ahead, how are they going to be "relevant" in a future
Please, enlight me.
How two of the invasive species of Draenor are going to be useful in Azeroth.
Go ahead, you or peach, any of you, enlighten me.
@zealous basalt if they want to speculate, let them speculate. No need to fight over it
No Oryx, I just want them to tell me how are two invasive species useful
I mean, chances are theyre an unintended consequence of the portal, they clearly weren't with the maghar, they instantly flee
I know they are unintended
All what Horde does is ruin stuff, they are masters of it, but Kham is so eager in saying that both would be useful in the future
I want to know why
you can ask why in a more polite way
I am asking politely
"Go ahead, you or peach, any of you, enlighten me." doesn't sound polite
I did not say they would. I said it could be a potential reason for the bronze aiding. Perhaps the future requires Botani to do something or Saberon, and they knew they'd hitch a ride with the Mag'har
Thus they help bring them over
I mean, we ally with a few botani and saberon in WoD
get em as followers and big dudes that wander around our garrison
I am not saying we personally will see this, they. Would easily say it is very far in the future
It is a possibility
Either something like this or corruption of the Bronzes
Meh
I suppose the second is viable
I just gave up entirely on this
Call it a rant or a whine
Remember Mak, if it's possible then it's excusable
sigh
Remember, Vris, if it's excusable,it's infuriating
doing the war campaign on my hunter, there are surviving sanlayn after the alliance attack
...
Of course an indie company
no but honestly, don't you feel
that things spawn really fast?
thats on the horde side, after the alliance come and kill dreven
ah
Custom ships and ship housing when, bliz?
2morrow
Imagine
How cruel would they be
If they announce housing
In april's fool
If that's so, they barely tried
Almost every expac is better than WoD
And the housing wasn't even housing
yo vris
I really hope we get ship housing
Like, custom ships that can fly/ and/ or go under/ overwater
you wish too much m8
They dont tho
Like
Its a meme
A bad 9ne
But they dont hate letting us have fun just because they want us to be social in a game thats main focus is being social
do they still plan to let people play as the Kul'tirens
Yes, they’re probably getting officially announced on Tuesday
I hope we get a patch trailer
The main source of new content will be the new land mass, ideally - nazjatar
hmmmm
on the one hand, I would find it weird if 8.1 is not at Blizzcon, and 8.0.5 tuesday
on the other hand, people are unsatisfied with BFA release, and I dunno if an 8.0.5 would fix it
Wowhead said it, where did Blizzard?
alright. the only post I know is
With Battle for Azeroth in full swing, we’re sitting down with Game Director Ion Hazzikostas to get a peek at the next content update.
and the AMA post said it with the same wording
Yeah I’m wrong
As I mentioned at the outset of this AMA, this is a beginning of an ongoing conversation. In some of my responses today, I referred to plans for our upcoming content update. That patch will be coming to the PTR very soon, and we'll be doing a livestream on Tuesday, September 18 at 11am PDT on the Warcraft Twitch channel where we'll discuss the major pieces of content in the patch. I look forward to continuing the discussion.
But
.0.5 generally isn’t a content update
So it’s still very likely this is 8.1
Ooooor
I find it possible, but 7.1.5 and 7.3.5 were quite big
The 0.5 update will have decent content
Imo peech
We shall see Tuesday
7.1.5 had the Brawler's Guild, MoP Timewalking, and 7.3.5 had Old World Scaling, Allied Races, Ulduar Timewalking
I want nazjatar. I just don’t want to wait. You’re probably right about it not being .1
What if
I'm not Blizzard
8.0.5 with Micro Raid could be interesting.
But imo they should be the same ilvl from current tier
7.1 is more of a .0.5 update in today's terms, I can see that occurring
would be cool if we got Draenor Timewalking too :)
though that might be 8.1.5, considering MoP Timewalking was 7.1.5
The Mythic race will be over by the time next patch comes out
PTR usually is like 1 month, and we don't even have PTR yet
plus they never let you enter the raid a patch adds until a few weeks later
I don't even think ToV was open the day the patch released.
Return to Karazhan was though, just a mega-dungeon
nah, was 7.1.0
I don't consider kara or ToV big enough to be a "major" patch, considering they are just side dungeons / raids that do not progress the main story (or gear acquisition) at all
might as well have been in 7.0.5, but the "minor" patch thing didn't start until 7.1.5
I imagine PTR may launch on Tuesday, or a bit later
And hit live early october
Mid october*
PTR for 8.1?
Hyes
@dense plover We're very likely to get a Patch trailer, that's what they did with 7.1 as well.
As for Ion not explicitly saying "8.1" but "patch" in public.. trust me, it's 8.1, wink wink. 😛
@hollow dock what does our being social have to do with fun
Also, clearly that'snot true since it's possible to solo shit from vanilla to legion and some of BfA
You can't solo any BFA dungeons.
Social and interacting with people is the whole point to playing an MMO
7.1's "trailer" was more of a teaser
if you recall, it was just showing a scared human running from something scary right outside of Karazhan
yes, 7.1 did have a trailer, but it wasn't until later
teaser (August 19th)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es3EjmAtSLo
Something stirs in Karazhan. http://WoWLegion.com Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=WorldofWarcraft
trailer (September 3rd)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxiofX97_G0
Patch 7.1: Return to Karazhan will open the way to new opportunities for players to venture further into the ongoing stories within Legion and face new and e...
though I supose you're right in that this would be the correct time frame for a trailer
it's just that 7.1 in general was super weird in that it was announced before legion even came out
@hollow dock but WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH FUN
People arent fun anymore
^
Stop playing an MMO then and go play Witcher 3
Make me
@dense plover referring to the leaked IG warfronts, Do you think they'll have different race style armour and weapons if they happen (Depending on what area in azeroth)?
maybe?
i dont think theyre going to all be the same
considering this first one is orcs v humans, and the armor matches, maybe the next (most likely barrens) will be tauren v night elves
or tauren v dwarves
Aye true, I could see that happening, That could be a great way of adding cool unique looking armour and would make sense
considering we get only 4 raid sets, it would be weird to not have that art made up somewhere
Yeah, perhaps those new night elf armour that got added might get used for a certain warfront
Ah
I’m betting, and hoping, that each warfront set comes with two PvP seasons, same way Legion did
Since there’s a convenient 3 sets that match up with the PvP sets not yet implemented
what's the other two?
T2 and 3 Silver/Black, and t1 copper/red
Current season is t1 Silver/Black and t2 and 3 copper/red
For which side?...
Silver/copper is Alliance, Black/red is horde
i know the t3 warfront sets have the elite glad recolors
Yeah, warfront gives all tiers of the gold for alliance and dark red for horde
[makore] well I don't think any MMO is as famous as wow so I don't think a PVE race could be either
I think it's wrong to say no MMO has a progression system like WoW though, for example FFXIV is pretty much the same but with less RNG and not as many raid difficulties (2, or you could argue 3; instead of 4)
Ah
raids have a "normal" and "savage" difficulty in FFXIV, though each only has 4 bosses. I would say savage is somewhere between heroic and mythic in difficulty but I've never actually done one of them. and normal is between LFR and normal (but you queue like LFR) in that you can actually fail but you don't really need to read a dungeon journal or guide
I just know that PUGs have some success in the early days which is why I don't say it's equal to wow mythic
something more recent that has a lot more notoriety is an "ultimate" difficulty that comes out every few patches, and it's of different bosses from the "savage" and "normal" difficulties
I'd say it's harder than wow mythic but I haven't raided those either, only seen videos
I see
I think, if the game was more popular, the ultimate race would be a bit more of a race than the mythic race. ultimate is basically one encounter, but it's stuffed with like 4+ bosses each with quite challenging mechanics. you need to perfectly execute everything and you have to start all over if you wipe. this means that there's only one "world first", there's not a situation where, say, "world first mythrax" goes to a different guild from "world first g'huun". it would just be "world first uldir" basically.
so you don't really get any kill videos / screenshots / whatever until the whole raid is done.
but do those raids last an entire patch cycle, @heavy cairn ? It sounds as if those would be implemented 2-3 at a time while WoW has its one raid.
well
so each FFXIV expansion seems to have 3 raids, 4 bosses each. this latest expansion has the ultimate raids as well, one really long boss; two so far, I would guess there will be a 3rd before the next expansion.
each raid is meant to last for the patch it is implemented in and the next patch as well
4.0 added a normal/savage raid, 4.1 added an ultimate raid, 4.2 added a normal/savage raid, 4.3 added an ultimate raid, 4.4 is adding a normal/savage raid (patch releasing tomorrow)
the weekly lockout for gear tokens is removed after two of those major patches, e.g. 4.2 made the 4.0 raid lockout go away
IIRC
So.
That doesn't really answer the question
as I have no idea how long these patches last
oh
I don't play FFXIV
well, patches are shorter than wow
there are usually 5 per expansion
rather than 3
expansion is 2 years, like wow
and that's full content patches correct?
indeed
ok. So yea they cme out at a much faster pace than WoW
yea
there are also like halfway patches
similar to wow X.Y.5
but much bigger. usually just adds casual content tho
Trade off being that the raids/raid bosses go by a lot faster than WoW.
Where WW has 3-4 big raids that people spend months on progressing, FFXIV has 5, maybe six, of raids that last maybe a month or two. Am I getting it right?
that's correct
for the hardcore progression
FFXIV also has some easier content, and some individual bosses each major patch that I would rate between normal and heroic (from personal experience)
most raids are 8 player only, but on a regular basis there are LFR-level raids that have 24 players
and also there are "extreme trials", as I said between normal and heroic, a single boss that drops tokens for a unique mount and weapon
Granted that it's coming from someone who hasn't played it, or has any interest in playing it, but it does sound like the PVE progression systems aren't all that similar. One's focusing more on quantity while the other focuses more on quality. Making each boss fight difficult in its own right versus just making a bunch of bosses to a single fight to create that Ornstein and Smough artifical difficulty.
that's only ultimate
Well since we're speaking of the mythic race
wouldn't that be fair to jjudge highest tier of progression versus the other?
fair enough
iirc though ultimate isn't what nets you gear
it's just there to be a challenge and give you unique weapons
savage is where the best armor comes from
that's why I am reluctant to exclude the rest of the game from the "progression" path
And that's why I would safely say that it's still not that similar to WoW's progression path. It's a very linear, "Normal Dungeon, Heroic, Mythic dungeons into either raiding at normal into heroic and into mythic or spamming mythic+ dungeons" all for gear progression.
ah, I see what you mean
andwhen comparing the top level of play, Savage just seems like Heroic out of SWTOR. Where the bosses have more health and maybe an extra mechanic. Which was just WoW's old heroic.
no, savage bosses are more than that
they really are
there are extra phases like WoW mythic, there is definitely more than one extra mechanic as well
Again, I emphasise that I haven't done or seen anything about it. Just your words are my context.
yea, I see
I think an issue in this conversation is also that I was calling the game similar in progression based on personal experience (I did play FFXIV), but I didn't actually do savage or ultimate
ah ok. So neither of us really know what the heck we're talkin about
yea lol
for me, progression was to get me into an extreme trial, and kinda ended there
just like I don't do Mythic raids in WoW
Well, to compare another MMO onto WoW's progression system or the Mythic Race would be to say the systems are well. actually similar. Buck stops at that difficulty and the community loves watching the top tier players that no life it race against each other to secure that world first.
I don't consider the systems dissimilar but I can see what differences there are
the top tiers definitely aren't just a harder copy of the lower tiers, unlike WoW
Mythic isn't a copy of say normal either.
ya, but you get the same gear just higher ilvl
Not even.
Mythic has it's own special look that isn't a recolor
Like the argus scythe is red on mythic. Not blue
alright
the transmog that is. to match the sargeras phase you get
well... the reason I was using that was more of gear stats and gear slots, I guess there's not really a comparison within wow
This gear appearance differences between difficulties
Just lasted 2 xpacs
Wasnt it well received?
pretty sure
though I personally dislike that you can't get LFR appearances from a source other than LFR
mainly because they always neglect to add an NPC for LFR until a later time in the next expansion
That's kind of the point though isn't it?
You can't get this gear anywhere else, which makes the tint more special
I mean, if they at least added an NPC immediately, at the beginning of an expansion, sure
but it's so weird that you can't farm it after the expansion when you can do it on higher difficulties
to me
it would be nice if blizzard finally fix warlocks. Like Unending Resolve fix.
I mean.
It's not meant to be solo'd then.
Like now in BFA you can barely solo normal EN.
Also Dafire
Shamans are fixed
They literally just needed gear.
idk blizz still wants to buff them in 8.1
if they were broken strickly by mechanics, which I can only assume means they don't work, how are they doing well on damage?...
they can be mechanically shit/boring but still do damage
just like how classes work mechanically but deal no damage at all
(hi demonology)
Rogue Sub is boring
And deals a lot of damage
It seems liek a rule tbh
Boring= Big dick dps
sub is not a real spec
Someone in PuG said Void Elves only lived 500 years
Asks for source
"Lots of people say it"
best source 10/10 IGN
I don't think being a Void Elf alters your natural lifetime
or, if anything, it increases it
your actual lifetime though, yea, you're probably not living for too long before you succumb to the void
less than 500 years, I'd wager :)
player characters have like 1003 lifetimes (maybe some more, but I remember these) so I don't think lifetimes really matter. plus they could probably ask one of the many godlike creatures they assisted for more lives if they expended those.
1 you were born with
1000 lifetimes from a burning tree in hyjal
2 lifetimes from vethir
originally high elves only lived to be roughly 300-400 years of age. Now, when it comes to others like say Anasterian, the aging effects those who were still tied to the well's power differently than those born after that had been severed
OKAY IT WAS A MEME YOU ALL
was like that before a good war reaffirmed the oooooooold lore that high elves were also immortal
facedesks
Oh they were? that's good.
I guess the aged High elves we see in Legends aren't entirely canon then. If they were immortal, they wouldn't be showing off that aging
IIRC: The baseline for every elven race is now, "They'll live for at least several thousand years before croaking."
Which, puts them at anywhere from a 2,000-9,000 range, probably. By default, without any extra magical mumbo extending their lifespans.
It's always been "several thousand years".
Anasterian was considered old at 3000 years old.
But then suddenly A Good War has a freaking 7 000 years old blood elf looking like a young chap.
The guy even remembers the initial settling of Tirisfal..
And it's completely silly, the whole point of high/blood elves is that they traveled away, settled somewhere else, became mortal (as in subject to disease and stuff), developed a new society, new beliefs. They're supposed to descend from night elves, whom they would see as their very distant kin. Their ancestors. They're supposed to have books and scrolls and distant knowledge of these events, of their exile, of their settling Quel'Thalas once upon a time.
They're not supposed to have lived them. They're not supposed to have a night elf as their friggin father/grandpa or whatever is now possible.
I mean, did it really take then four thousand years to reach the area now known as Eversong for Anasterian to create the Sunwell plateau? If he was old at 3000 years and all and seemingly a young man at the creation of the cities we know today.
@zealous basalt We're just having fun discussing. Chill.
Last Defender now has a cap of up to 50% reduction in damage taken. called it! @zealous basalt
Prolly
Yes.
I hope
100%.
They developed dozens and dozens of gnome assets, buildings and doodads. And they were only used in :
-
- a scrapped (or pushed back) "MechagnomeIsland"
-
- a subzone in Tiragarde which consists in an entire gnome mini-town, which a questline visits, and which ends in a "Oh well, there was a population of gnome here but it looks like they vanished, I'll contact you when I find more information !"
So A) it would be a waste if they didn't explore that further, there has to be a purpose to all these assets B) if that does not sound like foreshadowing, I don't know what does.
Imagine a mini raid there
is the new patch 8.0.5 or 8.1?
8.1
oh
is it just gonna be a boring ole minor patch?
isnt the name tides of vengeance or something? thats what i heard
it is NOT minor
Minor
Nope. 2 raids, warfront, Darkshore revamp, heritage armor for blood elves and dwarves.
well
i was expecting atleast a new zone
this is #beta-ptr-spoilers
Well that's weird. No trailer. No promo art.
spoilers
trailer and art probably in blizzcon
=)
Yea nothing good
des is lying
Im am not
how dare you
read that
i wanted my goddamn Revenge of Gnomeregan patch
Don't read that
YOU DISSAPOINT ME, ION!
Nothing happens
it's not revenge of gnomeregan but there are 2 raids
Well
ion is hiding the truth
If this is minor
it will actually be Revenge of Gnomeregan
I don't want to see major patches
also blood elf and dwarf heritage armor
yes i saw
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ @ kiff
oh you pinged a random person des
THat
No I didn't
ye
you pinged someone named "ki"
Revenge of Gnomeregan patch 8.2
Proof
thats what it is now
patch 8.2 will be Revenge of Gnomeregan patch
nah I think 8.2 is probably underwater broken shore, with azshara as raid boss
There doesn't need to be a revenge of Gnomeregan
an entire patch dedicated to one starter zone and dungeon!! wow so epic cant wait
Like that got solved in the dungeon
there DOES need to be a Revenge of Gnomeregan patch
So, better than expected, I would say, all things considered.
Against the naga
facepalms
those dont fly
the worms then
but i guess the naga cant really... sit on them
Mounts aren't all that canon tbh.
you know their tails
Unless its canon that some Ironbound titan dragon got impressed with entire raids of people going through Ulduar and decided to abandon their homes and go with those people
How did Mei Francis mail us a bear? and a dragon?
You tame them ofc
and suddenly the animal appear in those reins?
hot damn
just now watching the 8.1 stream
it literally explains all of the things
yes it's sweet
its a start though
Expertly done on their part
I think the fact that we get all this now indicates 8.2 is going to be huge and announced in great detail at blizzcon
yep
Also kul Tirans next patch
also i guess naga are waiting until 8.2
Told me what?
oh
You hadn't? O.o
a mini raid
medid
Show
mini raid is after the mega raid
Fuc
cuz I don't really remember that
uldir 8 boss -> zuldazar 9 boss -> crucible of storms 2 boss -> ??
After crucible it's certainly azshara
Oh well i give you this
zuldazar raid?
huh
also those warfront leaks
SHOWING THEM TO NOT FUCK WITH US M8Z
yes
zuldazar raid has faction specific stuff
zuldazar raid
man, what is the raid for horde?

raid on zuldazar
zuldazar is our city tho
yes but
we attack
is bwonsamdi the bad guy?
A new raid will be coming called the Siege of Zuldazar (Name not final but location final) with 9 total bosses.
This is something new to WoW which is a raid that is different from each faction.
The Alliance will land at the docks and work their way up the pyramid (and seeing new locations inside) and work their way up to Rastakhan.
Horde will start North of the pyramid and work their way to Rastakhan (which is the midpoint of the raid). Then you'll work your way to the docks and fight against Alliance commanders including Jaina on the high seas!
Once your raid is complete, you can talk to your scouts to get information on the other factions movements which allows you to fight the other 3 unique bosses that you haven't fought yet.
huh
they fight us off
so its two separate raids
yup
same instance
and you get to see the other side
AND THEN WE CAN BE BOSSES LIKE IN DARK SOULS
No Mak
no?
it's a scenario
aw
where we fight NPCs
But as a isle expedition
thats what it was for
Fight against Jaina more like put up with ten minutes of "omg Jaina is so strong how could we possibly ever win"
it was in the islands trailer
and then dropped
dev on twitter said it wasnt good for the content they were doing
decided to sideline until it was ready
now its coming
yea they like dropping islands
poor <whatever legion island was called> and <wow I can't even remember netherstorm's island>
I mean, Sax.
i love all the island improvements
lots of people dont like them
She's a very powerful mage with the strongest fleet at her back
(shown by the chat)
Not yet
they didn't mention it
Also the code here: /run for i=5,12 do local n,d = C_ContributionCollector.GetName(i), C_ContributionCollector.GetDescription(i) if n ~= "" then print(n..": "..d) end end
oh
raid is zuldazar
Me thinks they are just abandoned ideas
not dazar alor
...Peach
it is dazar alor
It's launching an attack on the zandalari fleet
so the temple below dazar alor is one part
We end in the piramid
like we just told you
Like
yeah it ends in dazar alor
but it takes place over the greater part of the city
horde starts north of pyramid probably within dazaralor, alliance starts on the docks that are part of dazaralor
ofc it is
he is gonna die
talanji takes over
that cinematic from b4 with voljin and the dagger
I'm a bit confused on what they mean with the faction mog stuff, will it just be unlocked for everyone or is it account wide?
when is this coming to ptr?
account wide
Soon ™
And Des, I know, I'm just not personally a fan of a lot of the stuff going on with Jaina, but I won't go into it
Okay sweet
Good to know I didn't spend a day killing fuckers in The Pit for nothing
wait
It makes it seem like they forgot there was more
is the raid only 6 bosses?
9
and then there is the 2 boss raid?
i think
oh
"Oh wait shit there's more"
3 of the bosses are the same for both
3 horde ones, 3 alliance ones, 3 both
wait what
6+3
9 each
I thought it was 6 both bosses, 3 horde/alliance; you get to see other faction's 3 in a casual scenario
no, its 9 in total
She's the first heir to the proudmoore bloodline, she's got titan powers in her staff, her staff is of antonidas, what's there not to like about her? that she's not some monster to say the alliance is evil or something? :p
The Darkshore warfront was very surprising, didn't expect it at all :O, Perhaps barrens got cut?
9 total per faction
its a 9 boss raid for both sides
seems like they pushed back a bit of the story
voljin was originally dealt with in 8.0
they certainly won't be doing 6 warfronts, will they?
