Illi-dragon XD
but i doubt it
we won't
I've canceled my sub. Sitting on tokens.
oh god
so useful
Like, if the Alliance doesnt get an Old Soldier thing by next expac, I'll be pissed.
that dark ranger toy..I hope it's not horde only
Quest: Dark Ranger Round-Up
Zone: Darkshore
Requires Level 110
"The Blue, Green, and Yellow frog mounts are sold by a vendor for 333,333 gold each."
"Azerite Impurity - Unpowered remnants of Azerite armor, obtained from Mythic Keystone weekly chests and by scrapping or disenchanting Azerite armor."
...is there more, I remember icons for nearly every colour of the rainbow
there are icons for it all, none as items yet
I hope we get em all, I want a simple all black one
new axe
that axe was in last build
it was just called warfront placeholder
now it has a name
1h
also, apparently this is a "bloodgorged" bat
the horde equivalent to that armored nightsaber
dont think the colors are final
I mean.
Blizz thinks that the alliance won in the scenario leading into the darkshore warfront
¯_(ツ)_/¯
...really? O_O lol
my kitty!
also, Peach, the icon isnt a green storm drake, the armor glows green
you can see the purple scales below it
That mount looks very cool
it's based on the gladiators pvp drake from Legions end
they just used the pvp icon
A new drake mount??
That gear looks great
just wish that sort of attention was on the rest of the sets. As, IMO, it isnt
Did scrapper have a minimap icon?
it did not before now
i need it
both sides can get it
I'd hope so
Totally.
A mech with Gallywix's face on it.
When tf are we getting a spider tank for gnomes?
I mean...as cool as it is.. that's way too much gold for me XD
I'd be blind running around with that
Please show us the very obvious: "Purge squad is actually targeted void tainted horde members"
or something like that that justifies em
rope got removed, platform added for easy jumping
They know
also, purge squad isnt part of the war campaign stuff
they know to much
is that her dead gryphon
@uncut vault so what happens in the alliance war campaign thing
we decided we want that fancy dance floor for ourselves
DANCE FLOORS FOR THE HOOOOOORDE
kids like Jaina at least
jainas ice looks way cooler than player frost mages
they need to update frost mages visuals :3
but she straight up kills all those grunts
At least she does something.
Jaina can kill a bunch of horde but tyrande can't
i wonder if this quest will have some sort of actual lore things happen
Is Taelia new model already in the wowhead viewer?
Nerf mages
@hollow dock From what I see
Faction War writting and this kind of writting are made by diff peebs
Don't care
oof, darkspear are just striaght up replaced
good.
Wat
zandalari are the axe throwers everywhere
No pls
How long are the war campaign quests?
Invading shaman
It's just his birth name...his parents couldn't think of something
Seem to put a fight
w32 wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww./'
Who is that fine specimen of void elf
oops^
mine
nah, jaina gives us an elemental
Can you has 2
As the Alliance fleet withdraws from Daza'alor, Lady Jaina Proudmoore stays behind with a handful of Kul Tiran vessels to slow the Horde's pursuit. Storm clouds gather overhead as Jaina leads her pursuers deeper into the Great Sea, where she will attempt to turn the odds in her favor. I hope this has a good visual 😄
wait..are the horde still good? Once willing to sacrifice everything to serve the Alliance, the mighty Grong has been raised from the dead and pitted against his former friends. Fighting on behalf of the Horde would be anathema to this noble soul, whose only hope for release is a clean death.
Its ultra biased views
ah that makes sense
horde: "HAAAAX"
@uncut vault anything else
well, she is icing them
I'm not a chemist but rapidly cooling something very hot causes a lot of shrapnel doesn't it?
It looks like
Jaina teleporting azerite bombs onto the horde ships via beacons
thats a mage tactic
Oh so she is teleporting them?
nah not the ones shes shooting
we recover bombs from the goblins, and shoot harpoons with arcane beacons attached
she teleports them
So is this what the writers were busy on when they rushed out darkshore?
hax
was it just separate teams?
for a warcampaign part
different quest designers work on different questlines
Aha called it
So why would they put the horde biased writers on the questline the horde is supposed to lose
$
because they dont have a label on their desk that says "horde bias"
it's been 14 years they can't look back at their writing?
What I am surprised is that, even if its biased, no ones calls it out like
^
where's the QCT?
great achieve name
Im wondering how much of this story is gonna be a requirement for the kul tirans
All this is doing is just making me more bitter
Port, remember they said that if you already have the rep at exalted there are no other requirements, you just need to wait for them to unlock
all allied races have required story alongside exalted
kul tirans and zandalari wont be different
especially given all the arbitrary achievements
They literally said so in the QnA
Id love to actually see that
hax
I'd have to agree with peach on this. I remember Ion stating that we already did the story for getting them recruited, we just need the raid to happen.
it literally says
'Complete the War Campaign in Tides of Vengeance."
thats not just requiring exalted
you need to do the ToV war campaign, exalted, and recruitment scenario
if you are Exalted with the Proudmoore Admiralty or Zandalari Empire and done the War Campaign, that's enough. You've played through the story, you've earned their alliance, they will come join your faction but that's not going to happen until after the raid.
the exact words
^
yes, it ltierally says
there's no extra story. The war campaign isn't "extra story" that's the overarching story of the horde and alliance.
"done the war campaign"
there're adding more war campaign story in ToV
ugh not one of those
and when that's done, you'll have the allied races.
so the requirements arent just exalted
We didn't state that? We stated that you need exalted and to wait.
which is what the war campaign is.
peach did
You're doing the campaign regardless of the KT or Zandalari.
"Port, remember they said that if you already have the rep at exalted there are no other requirements"
thats another requirement
But you do it regardless
funny way of spelling which is the war campaign
¯_(ツ)_/¯
"no other requirements" =/= "complete the war campaign as it comes out"
even if its a sit and wait each week, you're still doing quests
and completing story
I understand how simple words work. If you didn't, sorry.
I also understand how simple words work?
Otherwise, how am I having this spit back with you?
...I hope the daughter of sea theme plays during Jaina's fight
or a new version of it which is much kinder to Jaina
not rezan
....Is it too much to hope that it also comes with a quiver D:
Funny thing is that the Alliance too attacked the gorillas
Just like the Horde
But it's a classic characteristic of faction shoehorning
if you mean the 8.0 stuff, that was different
we attack the antagonistic ones, on the wishes of the pacifists
wasn't the alliance quest fighting the Kajamite gorillas?
to prevent conflict
this is the bilgewater cartel coming and enslaving gorillas to steal the kajamite
yeah, those are the antagonistic ones
Gronk is not related to them ?
Grong is part of the pacifist group of Dakani
Neat. Does he say anything about that ?
There's 2 gorilla groups, 1 touched by Azerite. They're the pacifists. The other is touched by Kajamite. they're the ones we're killing.
no u
Oh shush, he’s only monkeying around
Stop monkeying around Makore 😉
remove thyself
damnit
REMOVE ALL THINE SELVES FROM THINE CHAT.
inserts gandalf no power here meme
So
To clarify
Worgen related things won't be just put in a build thing right?
Blizzard will do an official post like in WoD with every other model change, right?
no, it will be announced
also, looks like you can get the base version of one of the enemy faction's warfront sets from quests
also, the mail armor is so good
how did I not see this
The crown comes in several recolors and there's a mace "trophy" coming with it
I'm late but wow that crown looks amazing
I am so glad they're adding crown models ^^
Looks epic
@remote urchin There's a red version of the crown too
WHAT?!
MUST SEE
Oh wow am I going to go head over heels for those crowns? Probably...
Already a must have, I know it, gaaaah
:((
now Im sad he dies
in fine minutes hes a more nuanced character than half of WoW
/cry
My bets on Questifier writing up that one
Uh maybe more pinkish or gold/red. There's also black but with yellow.
There are trophies that go with them https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/406282965438562314/504418343994916914/unknown.png
Kind of
Probably the Treasury ?
Ahh
NOOOO
o.o
You're welcome
That was a nice mission
Nice attention to detail to see corpses from the last time you went there
and the void tears from sucking up the mechs
Nice
I’m genuinely impressed by the small details in some of the 8.1 stuff
I’m still dumbfounded by the sheer number of dead ghost elves there were along the dead scar during the Blood Elf Heritage quest.
"Bilgewater magma" sounds funny
interesting that zandalari priests use arcane too
its a magma victim
no shit
king kong reference at the end?
theres a massive hole in the stone wall, and rubble everywhere
blizzard put a wooden door to pretend "this hasnt happened yet"
that doesnt cover the whole wall
Oh
NEW Come On and Slam Kill 30 sin'dorei with a single cast of Rising Tide during the Nazmir assault World Quest "Cleansing Tide".Tfw they add a WQ that lets you kill more Blood Elves than pop of Void Elves
o.o
Does "Nazmir assault World Quest" mean it's part of Incursion?
Probably nazmir Incursion? Perhaps
Prolly
Who dat
I thought you were doing the Horde war campaign, lol
Oh no...
Your about to meet Telaamon 😦
Holy shit
Rip
Did you play hordeside yet?
I see bronzebeard, void elves, humans, Worgen and Night Elves in the above picture?
That's lot of Void Elves
Oh, and Dark iron are there
Alliance in general*
And Night Elves, is it supposed to take place before Darkshore event? Or did Tyrande left some of her army lol
I doubt she took every single nelf
That would be awkward given she was asking for reinforcement lol
but decides to reinforce Alliance instead
Damn
Light choke?
Can't wait to see some priests raise some lightforged undead
I didn't expect brother pike
well, someone needs to use the scepter
OH HE'LL NAW.
Is Telaamon speaking a little broken?
Alliance is attacking our dinos
Hm..
so yeah, this story is all right before the raid, then we get quests to do it, and quests afterwards
so probably the time line is darkshore -war campaign- raid
so the horde invasion on kultiras happens in the war campaign right? the one with voice files and such?
Yes
awesome, somehow i had the idea it was after the raid
i think having night elven forces there makes little sense I feel
It does
if the whole point is tyrande taking her forces and going into darkshore, why should night elves be there?
its ignoring continuity
No communication
It seems that the people that did Darkshore stuff
And the people doing War Campaign doesn't know what is happening
Like
for what It looks like
It's like Darkshore hasn't happened yet
pretty much?
shandris is still there in the alliance campaign and incursions
but also in darkshore?
Probably Darkshr---
VULPERA CUNTFIRMED?
As I was saying
Probably Darkshore happens really
You know
far away from war campaign
or that's what I want to presume
no sneks there right ?
Like a hella time if they can have night elves on both sides
i think the storyline of darkshore is okay, tyrande doesnt actualy do anything her characther wouldnt
that or they want to call Golden a liar and say that there are a shit ton of Night elves
Enough to have them in two sides
its properly writen, everything that is nonsensical its obvious its the writers doing, not hers
yeah, she is the same that thinks forsaken cant hug people because they are super frail
so who knows
I like the darkshore questing up until the ned, and we still have 2 cinematics missing, but its bizzare to have night elfs there
I mean
if there is
A 2 week difference between Nightshore stuff
And war campaign
then it may be acceptable
But ye
I think both teams don't know what the other is doing
because there is still worldquests in darkshore
And honestly so far what I have been reading
tyrande gives them to you
the War campaign team know what are they doing
it realy seems if it wasnt for genn the night elfs whould have left
yeah the war campaign on the alliance side seems to be consistantly splendid
Wait a second
I am thinking that nightshore is a main stuff
when War Campaign is the main thing
So probably they left Nightshore campaign to some dudes
thoughts?
probably
the quest line itself falls apart alliance side in the last 2 parts
but the horde one doesnt make a sliver of sense
you go in and it seems like the atackks have been going for a week at least.
but timeline wise, its probably a few hours apart? it doesnt make a sliver of sense
idk timeline wise
problem is they wont change anything, because 1 its blizzard
2: they belive whatever cinematics are lacking will fix everything, just like old soldier
Im willing to just pass the Nightshore campaign as a side thing if the War Campaign is really good
timeline is fine, dunno what you guys are on about, darkshore stuff just happens a bit before the final stage of the war campaign and raid
im talking about horde side of the darkshore
it make it seem like there has been days or even a week of atacks, but he probably get there an hour or somerthing after alliance.
yey
belmont lives
because tyrande having mercy for those forsaken makes so much sense
I think
They left someone with not a lot of knowledge of characters and lore to make the darkshore stuff
While everyone else focused on the main War Campaigns
Seems like the writers of different areas dont communicate much at all
or maybe theyre being rushed
dunno, i still think darkshore is low effort because of cinematics
they probably thinkg " oh those willl look pretty and epic!!! lets do it and forget an actual good storyline"
I think that's probably what happened
...Hope they can lower the rate that Sneaky Petey yells?
no, never
pls
Do we know in what moment do they start using it as an azerite test area?
Like, some world quests before the war campaign?
Nope
So it doesn't have a nice transition?
I suppose we know where those azerite models were used xD
Seems kinda random though doesn't it?
That's what I meant
So
oh jeez
holy shit, the major cast animations are in
Rexxar made a good choice in returning e.e
ive been waiting
looking forward to joining Alliance Death Squads
Think clearly for once
So she poofs away?
well obviously, shes a mage, and she survives
Does she perform nices attacks to horde?
Inb4 it's Xibala
wait so Xibala is the name of a dino?
SO what important figure would the bones belong to...
Ohh
I am worried for Rexxar and Misha's future...
they dont give new models to kill off characters
I could see Misha sacrificing herself though
I honestly would be so sad if she died xD
She jumps infront of Rexxar and takes a hit of ice from Jaina and dies
Giving Rexxar the chance to get closer or something e.e
Idk
They could make the fight really interesting
so those void elfs are using their powers on a zandalari dino
against Rexxar
dang that is fucked up
He is not going to come out entire
Makore, power means bullshit. A murloc could win against Jaina or fight and survive her if that is what they want.
Alive but really fucked up
You only want really impossible things and you know it
Also...void can revive?
they dont say revive
they do say a "proper vessel" for their powers wich is much more scary
100+
its not a revival so much as its an animation
similar to what sylvanas did at lordaeron
shadow animating the bones
with spookness
no actual soul, just a body to be directed
So 2 much spook?
Well, less spook
cause it isnt an enslaved person in the body, their spirit isnt disturbed
just their bones
oh my oh my i wonder what will get out of it
more spok
This looks to good on an undead
A bag of bones on a bag of bones
Tattersail got new armor
new jewelcrafting rings
each one is a set of ilvls higher
355 -> 370 -> 385 -> 400 -> 415
Tattersail's had that since legion
the shoulders?
yes
huh
maybe it just looks different on ptr for a weird reason
also
iron horde canons
WOOOO
THOMAS ZELLING HAS UNIQUE ON CLICK VO
GO IRON HORDE
because they are defending the tank
against the horde
the horde army didnt descend out of nowhere
its big
they saw it
and asked for help
lightforged have teleportation and a ship
they can get there the fastest
I hope we can orbitally bombard horde scum
Can lightforged mechs do atmospheric drops?
nah they were there before, alliance set up there before the horde got to it
the alliance setting up is WHY the horde attack norwington
for the azerite
THATS A FUCKING WYRM
mech battle in mid-air
peach, just take a screenshot of the chat log
ok
I learned a while back that a screenshot of every dialogue box doesnt help anyone
In the vulpera discord a guy already did this
I love it so far xD
He is breaking out Ashvane rn
we get knocked out of the sky
hes cocky and things he can run on low azerite, "its not empty till its below E" and all that
hahaa
grugg
new low level cooking recipe
big stamina boost
oh woops
i did that wrong
and another at 50 skill
OH GOD
i thought the mech was just a recolor
I wonder if people still consider burning goblins to death a joke after they see the burnt skeletons
is that mech a mount?
Ya, it is
A drop from Mekkatorque
oof
fucking gally
i love him so much
riveting development
because ashavane is a crazy criminal
and it seems it will either bite them in the ass sooner or latter and they kinda know
ashvane isnt really crazy at all, just opposes the proudmoores
Rakera got promoted!
That’s a lot of Skyterrors
oh telammon
i miss you already 😦
but the lightforged beign presented as a treat is good! what do they say to each other?
"ur mom gai"
does he put a good fight?
one man army you say?
uh, seems talanji is taking power from other loa
did he die alreayd
a priestess of the entire loa pantheon whould be pretty formidable
is there a lot of lightforged presence, like mechas and of the such?
who is ingrid?
AH
are those the forsaken that get capture by the sneks?
nice to see them again
and poor clayton
Rest in peace
will he tho? please leave him alone
hero
you monster
oh well, i think since he was set up to die
at least he went gloriously
and fulfilling his objective
34 ADP PRANK GONE WRONG (HORDE BAITED)
F
that's pretty grim 😦
rastakan was a much better characther than talanji, he had a characther arch
his presence will be missed
I.
dang this will be a tear jerker
i do wonder what will raising nathanos acomplish
you mean derek?
yeah
sorry
sasjdkajksjdjakj yeah i mean derek
act 2 of this patch should be something interesting
how is that a wimpy move
when we get to the second raid
it takes a lot more courage to negotiate with someone than it does to enter conflict
ew
they realy wanted to use darkrangers in the warfront it seems
hey, the models look great
2 much edge
i don't know what is edger
the eyes are cool i agree
if a dk
they look pretty
or those
i like the black eyes more so
i still think there is some mind control going on
its a bit on the nose to have the valkry use exactly that on the player and tyrande when they fight together
i think its some sort of manipulation tho
or is it sarcasm? sometimes i have a trouble when reading
catching sarcasm in written words
i still think its mind control for them to turn like this
Im being serious, theres legit no way for them to be clearer about it being willing
how tho? they sound robotic almost
nathanos doesnt doubt for a second they will serve them, when the other forsaken risen like zeeling and amelia have a period of uncertainty
If Sylvanas could just have her valkyr mind control, godfrey wouldnt be a problem, amalia stone wouldnt be a problem, zelling wouldnt be reminiscing about his family, derek wouldnt be confused and require conditioning, sylvanas wouldnt specifically talk about them having free will in before the storm
but these forsaken night elfs are obviously something difrent
its like if sylvannas served arthas willingly
and even belmont says she has "plans" for them, even nathanos comments how suddenly the valkry can raise kaldorei
Not really? Not only do the valkyr say it requires willing souls, Sira talks about willingly accepting the gift
its sudden because it wasnt something the valkry could do before
sira is also angry at everything but the people that killed them
it wasnt something they could do because of a random dumb plot restriction they put in for cata
which made no sense seeing as valkyr could raise other races just fine in Wrath
but they were conected to the lich king
thats is the whole point of death knights, the valkry bound to sylvannas cant raise anthing but forsaken, but now its difrent?
now it works witout a flaw?
on people that should hate the horde with all their hearts?
that wasnt the whole point, DKs of the ebon blade have no connection to valkyr
its laid out in multiple places that their hatred for elune abandoning them is what is driving them
because that makes no sense to turn on their people?
its a nonsensical story that just need the obvious mind control to make it work?
why isnt their hatred towards the horde ever put into the story then? why is it agaist a sudden complaining about elune
as if it was their baby sitter
its almost like we've seen them for five seconds
and have one of them talk to us
and dont have their full story yet
because its already bad? because it doesnt make sense now from what sira says, from what delaryn says on her voice files
and the random night elf dark ranger files are also bitter and nonsensical
and they cant even use the "rejection" angle because tyrande didnt reject the 2 that nathanos raises, its just a horrible story to recreate the scourge feeling
you not liking it doesnt mean it doesnt make sense
it doesnt in any sense?
their reasons are plainly and clearly laid out
it whouldnt make sense if sylvannas decided to follow arthas?
you can not like them, but they are there
but those reasons are weak at best, non existant at worse
they died, and are now serving those that killed them
You not liking them doesnt mean they dont exist
because aparently the same godness that never acts directly is supposed to act for them
it has more holes than cheddar cheese? using one point of hatred when they are 5 agaist the horde and the forsaken doesnt make sense
doesnt make sense how the hatred and twisting of the newly raised night elfs is always on the horde favor
the forsaken whole story is about creating bitterness towards those that killed them, and once they got free will they ploted their revenge agaist the lich king, please do tell me what makes these night elfs so difrent that they now love their enemies that raised them into torment?
Completely different circumstances? Like I said, you can not like the reasons all you want, but they exist and have been set up
yeah, their leader didnt reject them and their godness turned the moon black
yet they still go and kill other night elfs
the reasons are weak and flimsy at best.
the void ritual has some striking results
spooky
Tyrande stuff got some changed horde side
uses abilities now, Dark Side of the Moon, void orbs that hurt like a bitch
nathanos is not damaging her, arrows are missing
So does it feel like a defeat now?
is dark side of the moon a rainbow beam?
I mean, it kinda did before to me, that stuff didnt and wont change
better be
Already did the quest, cant access it again, was disabled for new characters on the PTR
hax
watch he rin the end oneshotting you if you arent careful
i like how in the video
the lightforged emmisary is like " ahahahha horde get on our cosmic magic level, rekt"
Alliance
they are
just not immediately
best bet is the week after the final LFR wing comes out
check da shise on the screenshots
theyre using a toy/illusion
hax
damn
uh???
i told you
i am confusion
there are infected corpses near one of the farms, we turn the grunts into living infected corpses
probably the botani?
but last we saw they were running towards the barrens? this looks interesting no doubt
now i want to know more
the fungi monsters in drustvar
ahhhhhhhhhhh okay !
is this in 8.1?
hyes
Neat
That real?
it's soo cool
Fuck the other rewards, Zappy Boi and Saurfang need me.
but sylvanas 😄
curious what the other quests will be and future impacts of course
Until I see confirmation, I have doubts about that picture
Wow
sylvanas loving filth
id rather side with Sylvanas than hearing saurfangs endless crying about honor
I am quite surprised
Accept that your next warchief will be Thrall
First time that I see a decision
I mean it wont have a major effect i’m sure
Makes me wonder how many players will actually side with Saurfang
And how many prefer Sylvanas
Now lets hope Blizzard starts writing for the Alliance
Well honk, so far the war campaign looks good
Honestly tho
I'm genuinely curious
So
no one posted
the new addition to the HORDE questline
You can say no to Rekhan
Khan did
So yea no one posted this
Das what I'm curious about
Think there would be a way to know how many players say no to zappyboy
Oof
Do it on multiple toons
Wtb more of these stories
Then you have all
Oh really? So it is real?
Oh I don't for RP purpose
To prove how royal horde peebs are
If one of my toons would do one thing and another the opposite
Also I collect hehe
:T
I'm a shameless roleplayer what can I say hehe
