they dont add new stuff last minute

Who is Bruce?

brawler's guild meme

languid yoke
#

I was bored and made myself a sheet with all brawler's guild bosses, in which rank they appeared in which xpac and this is what I got:
There are 9 new bosses in bfa; there were 17 new bosses in Legion during ranks, six new challenge cards, six new rumbles (one is a legacy boss).
BUT bfa brings back many legacy bosses, and bosses that were challenge cards only - Ash'katzuum, Mingus Diggs, Klunk, Mecha-Bruce.

As of bfa, there are only 3 encouters left that have existed since the first season of brawler's guild - this means rank 8 and 9 of MoP 5.3 are excluded. These are, and that REALLY surprised me: Meatball, Millie Watt and... Sanoriak (!?!). If you want to include 5.3 bosses, then add Nibbleh to the list.

tropic trail
#

does it mean that the Velonara questline is for 8.2? or later patchs for 8.1.5 ?

lucid steeple
#

will there be any spoilers on night elves getting new home or are my people gonna stay within the stupid human city.

zealous basalt
#

stupid your tree

#

and no

#

no new home until new xpac

#

or probably unti 3 more

#

Considering that the park was destroyed for 3 xpacs...

lucid steeple
#

good humans home is crap Night elves are gods

#

they should find night elves a home for 8.2

uncut vault
#

Bro it took four xpacs, and gnomes still don’t actually have a Capitol after cataclysm

#

Worgen haven’t had one in ten years

#

It’s been six months and one patch for nelfs

tropic trail
#

yea, im gonna sit with my forsaken ass for a long time before I can finaly leave trashgrimmar

dense plover
#

goblins dont either

#

dont forget goblins

#

lots of races dont have homes

zealous basalt
#

Yeah

#

so stfu with it and deal with it

night swift
#

Stormwind is a good city as well you’re just jelly

uncut vault
#

Goblins have a ‘Capitol’, in the sense that it is where they planned to settle, it’s just a questing area instead of a proper city hub

night swift
#

Also pandaren don’t have a capital but they settled from the Isle to SW/Org so they more set up base there

terse patrol
#

"goblins dont have a home"

#

Looks at the 283729 goblin towns/cities

#

Gilneans have like, a tiny handful of settlements.

#

Most of them were in Teldrassil or Stormwind.

tulip sun
#

The Bilgewater don't have a technical in-game home outside of a small questing hub

They have a lot more than worgen do.

@uncut vault Weird that they havent put in the Scarlet quest yet.

dense plover
#

taking a look

#

kul tiran male

#

and zandalari moonkin

#

thats all

uncut vault
#

dont see major differences to either

#

animation wise

#

I dunno if i just havent seen it in a while, but the kul tiran male face seems meaner

zealous basalt
#

:C

tidal stone
#

Ugh

#

I don’t need my characters to be angry when they’re idle

zealous basalt
#

Why wouldn't they be angry?

dense plover
#

why did the crusader's direhorn get a fancy HD saddle and armor

#

but the base one is just old

uncut vault
#

because lightforged are the exception to the "paladins get better mounts" rule

#

paladins always get unique, HD (for their time) mounts

I still wish they got a devilsaur

whops

tulip sun
#

People are absolutely furious about the portals

#

I honestly could care less e.e

elder otter
#

couldn't* care less. 😛 Common mistake. I tease.

jade basalt
#

Maybe they're saying they care way too much, and they should care less !

tulip sun
#

I always do that RIP

#

Ignore my mistakes

#

I dont understand how portals are making people unsub

zealous basalt
#

People want any excuse to unsub

tulip sun
#

Like on another discord somehow this makes the game terrible. OH MY, I GOTTA take a few minutes to get from a to b. THE HORROR.

dense plover
#

its annoying, but not unsub worthy

uncut vault
#

I mean, its not that big of a deal but

#

its still a dumb and unnecessary change

tulip sun
#

From the way people are acting, you'd think they killed someone

#

I am not saying it is a good change, but people are REALLY overreacting

uncut vault
#

I think its more a tipping point of just, "okay at this point these changes help nobody"

kind panther
#

in the same way as let

#

let's take first aid off everyone but tailors

#

or let's burn teldrassil for the hell of it, bad idea to piss a load of ppl off blizzard

terse patrol
#

The portal decision imo was done purely to artificially pad how much time it takes to travel. imo, mainly to make mog runs take longer.

foggy abyss

tbh

terse patrol
#

@jade basalt Thoughts?

foggy abyss
#

I couldn't care less about the portals

proper palm
#

Do you know why Blizzard removed that dark-eyes DK effect (Old PTR patch sorry) ? (Actually, Night elf DK with dark eyes don't have blue dk eyes effect)

tropic trail
#

DK can become night warrior?

proper palm
tropic trail
#

"Elune grant me the dead Night Elf your power"

jade basalt
#

Honestly I don't think that's the case. Adding 30 seconds to get to Caverns of Time by moving portals and building entirely new assets is not something remotely worth spending resources on, if that were the goal there were many, many more ways to do it much easier and cheaper and faster.

They simply have a vision of how the game should play, and finally found the time to fulfill it. And, this isn't anything new by the way, I know for a fact that they always disliked having too many portals, from a gameplay point of view, that it diminished the world and the outdoor, and they always regretted adding so many, and have always wanted to remove some, and in fact their pattern is literally to remove some portals from the new expansion as they go into the next expansion, they just didn't have the time to do it the last couple expacs.

There really isn't any malicious motive here, it's purely from a game design pov. And honestly, as someone who's worked on MMORPG game design, I do share their vision, and I get where they're coming from. However, I'm not sure about the execution, and that's a valid thing to criticize.

terse patrol
#

@jade basalt I guess some people are just cynical about the whole affair. I do think they’re doing it to consolidate the playerbase into Orgrimmar and Stormwind, however.

#

Which leads me to believe next expac won’t have new capital cities.

#

Rather, we may get a rework for Org and Storm.

#

Bringing Stormwind in line of quality of Boralus would be nice, though.

#

Stormwind’s horribly outdated. It hasn’t had a real visual update since Cataclysm, and that wasn’t much of an update.

jade basalt
#

Hmm, a full revamp of a zone, or capital, or anything, must come with content. That's their philosophy, they are done updating irrelevant stuff that nobody goes to anyway. For example they revamped Arathi and Darkshore, in a way that provided content (warfronts, world quests..). Update and content must go hand in hand together. So if they do fully revamp Stormwind and Orgrimmar, then it would indeed mean that they intend them to be central in terms of gameplay. We'll see if that's the case though ! I don't know personally, would be odd to update these two capitals after the faction war expansion..

dense plover
#

Hence why we got a portal room, but not all of Org updated

#

Same with when they added the embassy

tulip sun
#

That would be ni e

#

Dose blizzard only read the questions from the Q&A from members or do they actualy read the random questions people ask?

night swift
#

Members of?

inner copper
#

The company

#

Or possibly paying players

night swift
#

Why make a q&a for questions that employees have?

flint meteor
#

i think they did the right thing, we just need portals for major cities and current hubs other than that its just fine, it makes mage's worth again thats the main point of them having portals

tranquil steeple

limber mural
#

that's just a wq

lucid steeple
#

not likely im alliance?

#

and i found a thing to turn me

#

its a shark idle thing i click and i turn into a shark for a limited time my point is they have lot a mounts but not this.

#

if they did make one whitch isn't impossible would they put it in Item shop or to be earned from a quest. raid. Dungion. Achievement. gold?

zealous basalt
#

...

#

Sigh

night swift
#

Red

#

They’re not gonna give us a shark mount

zealous basalt
#

It is starting to get

#

Really annoying

#

We don't get as much water mounts

#

Unless it has some relevancy

lucid steeple
#

so...they would have to make ....

#

WAIT

#

there possibly gonna do a under water raid arnt they?

zealous basalt
#

Yes

night swift
#

No

lucid steeple
#

for the Naga queen?

zealous basalt
#

Underwater raid doesnt mean

#

Underwater encounters

night swift
#

That would be fucking awful

zealous basalt
#

Those would be hell to perform

#

Enough

lucid steeple
#

well not that it would be a themed raid or something my point is why have any water mounts at all if they wont...or haven't thought to make a shark yet

jade basalt
#

I believe they said they were thinking of having maybe 1 underwater encounter in the Azshara raid.

lucid steeple
#

like....why have a sea horse or bottom-feeder to me there not relevent at all but how are they to the community?

zealous basalt
#

because they were relevant in the moment

#

Or what, do you want everything from the old expacs deleted?

lucid steeple
#

If i remember right i saw a picture of a new Sea horse mount thats actualy looks part horse .

zealous basalt
#

Should we get rid of Draenor pathfinder then?

#

Legion's?

night swift
#

I doubt a shark is gonna be from a naga raid

#

Besides they teased seahorses at blizzcon

lucid steeple
#

not likely i guess but blizzard can always make one for money or something. the always come up with mounts in the Item shop that fly they could add one thats fast under water or something like that.

night swift
#

A flying shark sounds stupid

lucid steeple
#

XD

night swift
#

And water mounts are ass

lucid steeple
#

i mean under water dude not flying shark

#

thats insane

night swift
#

They dismount the second you go above water

lucid steeple
#

its not meant to be used much it would be to show off like 99% of mounts are for

night swift
#

Hell even at water level they dismount sometimes

lucid steeple
#

I do know blizzard dose what it wants reguardless so i think they might make one but far far from the mounts they want to make so its a waiting game in other words

#

sucks they wont make one sooner though i really love the new models.

night swift
#

Water mounts aren’t exactly in high demand

#

Like at all

lucid steeple
#

oh i know that there like low so not likely they would add water mounts much but i like the idea that they will just not 100%

uncut vault
#

It’s also likely Gral’s gonna get corrupted or die, so sharks won’t exactly be on our side in Nazjatar

uncut vault
#

PTR realms are down

#

and back up again lol

zealous basalt
#

OI

#

Btw

#

how do the druid artifact work on the zandalar

#

do they override the forms?

dense plover
#

yes

#

at least the flight form upgrade does

#

rest probably do too

#

no clue how base form works

#

probably troll form if i guessed

#

i will check

#

i race changed my 110 druid just to test this kind of stuff

zealous basalt
#

Please do check

dense plover
#

omw

#

dont know if these match troll colors or not

#

same with fangs

zealous basalt
#

can you try it with the kt?

dense plover
#

dont have one

#

probably the same case tho

zealous basalt
#

D:

dense plover
#

its too much work for something thats kind of unimportant

#

they have unique druid forms already

lucid steeple
#

Since wow is going a hearth stone thing is there another way you can travel like with the Dark Iron drills and im sure if they did allow that kind of fast transportation it would only be for thr Dark irons but that would be cool to think of.

dense plover
#

guys

#

i had an idea

#

for the voljin quest stuff that happens once you are exalted

#

i know people have hypothesized that the stronger power might be nzoth or some void thing or something

#

but what if the reason why, is because since undead cant be controlled by void whispers, making sylvanas warchief had the most likely chance of her ending up dead

#

what if this was how they planned to get rid of her

#

whoever they are

tropic trail
#

yea thats a common theory

#

this or some other creature we dont know yet did it from the shadowlands (maybe mueh zala) for some reason

uncut vault
#

which would in turn potentially mean that the hand of valor is looking to help the horde prevent that from happening, no?

#

meaning whoever brought voljin back is going to be the one to 'kerrigan' sylvanas' story

tropic trail
#

oh I would love that, if this is how it will play out at the end

#

but I doubt it 😭

dense plover
#

i morse want it to be where the void whatevers saw hundreds of ways for sylvanas to die

#

and like, 1 way where she doesnt

#

and we find that one way and REALLY piss them off

uncut vault
#

zandalari dont have a base artifact form, weird

dense plover
#

not suprising

uncut vault
#

I put in the report, but probably too late for live

dense plover
#

lots of work when they already have a form

uncut vault
#

the fix will probably just be copying over the darkspear one

dense plover
#

probably

tulip sun
#

I hope Gral doesn't die

lucid steeple
#

hm...blizzard made a bruto mount think they will do a rex mount next?

If they didn’t do it for prelates, no probably not

Probably small tweaks

Update size?

Non update

Only 1 file

I thought the nelf 2h strike anim was bad enough

@uncut vault

Why two new race have horrible animation? :c

uncut vault
#

they dont, for the most part theyre all unique, great ones

#

iuts really just that one that sticks out, and that they arentchanging

proper palm
#

There is still a lot of animation that remains horrible for KT for example
(For the male : Pandaren's cast animation rofl) In fact, they have worked well on most animations, but we can see that they are not finished.

tidal stone
#

The males actually have modified male vrykul casting animations

#

The females are the ones with the male pandaren casting animations

proper palm
#

Hearstone cast animation for male = horrible, dog swimming 😂

uncut vault
#

They're finished

#

you can not like them, that doesn't mean they arent finished

zealous basalt
#

Well said, port

proper palm
#

Yes they are finished I did not express myself well, but..
I just wanted to say that they were finished quickly and that the rendering could have been much better if they had taken the time to do something beautiful, for example to lift the back of the KT to prevent him from swimming dog in cast (1), or make sure that the final gesture of the cast (2) of the woman KT is not strange. the animations are cool, but their finish is pretty ugly. It is particularly noticeable also with the customization of the faces / hair cuts of the male. It's okay, it's a pity, but we are used to ! ^^

That troll has a owl Neck for a spine XD

HAHAHA

tropic trail
#

Mrow

#

What's the argument this time?

zealous basalt
#

N9 idea

uncut vault
#

something interesting concerning 8.2 and the Azshara raid release

#

Elsweyr releases on June 4th for ESO, Shadowbringers releases July 2nd for FFXIV

#

timing the patch release and raid release around those is probably what blizzard will go for

#

I'd bet May 28th for 8.2, July 9th or 16th for the raid

tropic trail
#

yea I will go for 28th May, because this would be a perfect 77 Days cycle

dense plover
#

May28th is a good date

#

mostly because its almost exactly 5-6 weeks after the april raid

languid yoke
#

and is also hinted at in the maiden quest

night swift
#

Blizz gotta release something cause their competition is gonna beat them

languid yoke
#

only three months til HD worgen on ptr 😻

zealous basalt
#

more

#

8.2.5 for worgen

languid yoke
#

that's why on ptr, three months should be after 8.2 is out

zealous basalt

INB4 they have back problems

and less chest fold

well, skeleton isnt gonna change much if any

oh no wait

they totally will

#

i forgot that this is essentially what they did for the rest of the races in WoD

uncut vault

we can see the general degree of changes in the vulpera

the image at blizzcon shows that they are in fact the new goblin anims

i wish they would give speical dances for night elves like they give for humans. the clap and two step.

tropic trail
#

JASON TODD?

night swift
#

Every race has their own special dance though?

dense plover

#

yeah i dont know what game youve been playing, but each race has its own dance

#

except for most allied races

#

although highmountain druid has a unique travelform dance

strange falcon
#

of the allied races only the ones coming out this week have unique dances

dense plover
#

yep

#

but night elves have their own unique dance @lucid steeple so i dont know what you are even talking about

lucid steeple
#

Mickle Jackson dance is unique but the humans not only get that one dance but they get a fancy one would be nice if they let night elves have that kind at least.

night swift
#

They

#

They only have one dance

#

Every race does

strange falcon
#

What do you mean they get a fancy one,
Just because you like One race's dance more doesnt mean every race needs to be remade

#

O.o

tidal stone
#

He’s talking about the dance they do in old kara. The one players don’t have access to.

inner copper
#

Oh

#

The animation called “EmoteDanceSpecial” right?

#

For humans

You can see it in the dressing room at least

Thats an npc dance mainly

Players do have access to it temporaly

did the worgen get a model update i heard they would get one?

foggy abyss

8.2.5

tranquil steeple
#

They teased a minor update just to show it's in the works, but there's been nothing since.
Besides that, all I know is someone in here suspecting we'll see them in the 8.2 PTR

lucid steeple
#

oh cool cool

#

so after 8.1.5 happens how long till 8.2 another few months or...?

#

new portal rooms there updateing the portal rooms...but the rest of stormwind still look old old think they plan to give Stormwind a polish or not likely?

limber mural
#

not announced

#

and that's a colossal project so

#

plus most people probably don't want it

tranquil steeple
#

if they'd polish up Stormwind/Org, that'd prolly be something Blizz would do for the start of an expansion, tbh

lucid steeple
#

egh...could'nt hurt but you are vary right people dont like change

tranquil steeple
#

Looking at Cataclysm

limber mural
#

that'd likely be something that's a headline of a

#

yes, took the words outta my mouth sel

lucid steeple
#

org kinda did get a polis it look way different from befor...least with what i remember but i kinda feel horde did get more love in the man city since people. say Kul tiras is way bigger then Zul.

limber mural
#

they're both big but they're both largely meaningless

#

Dazar'alor could be swung either way, it's either a success as a city since you have to see more of it or a failure since everything's further apart

lucid steeple
#

i guess thats a matter of opinion like i think its way more awsome being big

limber mural
#

although dazar'alor was obviously designed as a raid from the start

lucid steeple
#

yep.

limber mural
#

it flows way too well

tranquil steeple
#

imo Dazar'alor is bigger than Kul'tiras purely in space covered, but it has a big chunk of space that just has nothing relevant, or where you're just traveling from top of Pyramid to the docks

limber mural
#

yup

#

Tradewinds market has everything barely out of the rested zone

tranquil steeple
#

also, mb on city name; Boralus* not Kul'tiras, since Kul'tiras is the three zones' continent name

limber mural
#

wasn't gonna correct you yeah

#

plus you said zul not dazar'alor but hey

lucid steeple
#

i think if they had things your way it would be less of a Mmo andm ore of point a to Point b like there wouldnt be most places you can see like where a fishing hole would be there to add. immersion in yours version its not there you scraped it meaningless.

tropic trail
#

Why can't old cities be as big

lucid steeple
#

agreed

limber mural
#

I mean

#

Stormwind and Dalaran in the movie are fucking divine

lucid steeple
#

everyone has there right to think what would be cool so im not gonna shoot down peoples idea i like them but... its not for me but. i wish they could enjoy your version of the game too

limber mural
lucid steeple
#

🤤

limber mural
#

wait what? I'm not disagreeing with you

tropic trail
#

Is dalaran...floating?!

limber mural
#

I'm stating the facts that are there as is

#

yes it is

tranquil steeple
#

I'm just saying that Dazar'alor is bigger in-game only because there's a lot of space used for nothing between the two areas of interest in the City

limber mural
#

cause... it does

tropic trail
#

Not supposed to

lucid steeple
#

if blizzard did that it might be much but im not asking for that much maybe an inch more but not massive city...but ill take whats given

tropic trail
#

Was grounded till wrath

limber mural
#

um. actually you have a fair point there wtf

#

why have I never considered that

lucid steeple
#

i think most places that are big like this are places that might get flying since we know they are adding it eaither in 8.2 or so

tranquil steeple
#

tbh, unless Blizzard suddenly goes "nah we done with flying", we'll pretty much always have Flying in new expansions' zones, just in 8.2, so people stay on the ground until then, and are more likely to appreciate getting flying

lucid steeple
#

ight thats good i got the Dazar'alor Windreaver and love it

limber mural
#

same. it's cool

lucid steeple
#

some people hate flying but i can agree most places dont need flying blizzard pretty much knows what to do.

limber mural
#

hm. rip old BG's loading screns

#

I don't really see why that was necessary but ok

tropic trail
#

You want old loading screens play classic

limber mural
#

bit obnoxious. I don't want to play classic. I don't dislike the new ones. It just seems like an unnecessary change to something that didn't need to be modernised

tropic trail
#

New art is good, going to play classic so the change won't bother me

This may not sound important but it kind of is : how often do you think the tortollan World Quest "Beachhead" (save the turtles) shows up ?
How many times a week ? A day ?

dense plover
#

Every day at least once

#

If not more than once

#

I hate it

#

The new ones are much better because you can use only keyboard or only mouse

#

And imo are less frustrating in general

terse patrol
#

Now we wait for 8.2’s PTR

dense plover
#

Probably a couple of weeks

#

At least

#

My guess is first week of April

#

And even then it might not have any of the zones

#

But I imagine mechagon will be tested before nazjatar

terse patrol
#

Its a big patch, so I assume it’ll launch earlier.

#

More time to test.

dense plover
#

Yeah, but also they like keeping secrets and using the hype from the ptr to keep people subscribed

#

I bet one of the first things we see is the azerite overhaul

#

That’s honestly the most important thing with the patch

jade basalt
#

Actually the first thing we're going to find is the NzothRedeemed.m2 model.

@jade basalt LightZoth.

modern axle

I'm hoping 8.2 PTR is as soon as possible if we assume it release on 28th may unless delayed, it will need plenty of time for testing especially with the amount of content in it

if they do the same as 8.3 ptr

it could release as soon as crucible comes out

Ah, finally, confirmation that the Earthmother is Azeroth.

Ehhhh technically not, he only says that the Earth Mother suffers because Azeroth suffers, whether that means Earth Mother is Azeroth, or just related to Azeroth, is not yet confirmed. But, probably.

So Baine is Voljin 2

his in game eyes are blue

tropic trail
#

I wonder if thrall will return sometime this expac

jade basalt
#

Good, that makes more sense.

#

Hmm. Are they still blue after he is freed though ?

#

Or only while he's being magically detained ?

terse patrol
#

Could be his eyes glow when he’s under magical influence. @jade basalt

#

He’s himself in the cinematic.

#

But maybe they’ll glow again when he goes into murder mode.

jade basalt
#

That's what I'm wondering, if his eyes are only blue because he is being magically detained, or is it just a mistake from the cinematic

uncut vault
#

theyre also blue normally, its a cinematic mistake

jade basalt
#

Good, good. White eyes didn't make sense.

terse patrol
#

eh, I wouldn’t say a “mistake.”

#

Tbh, it might be as I said.

uncut vault
#

No, its definitely a mistake, considering the importance of white eyes for undead, and Calia in particular

terse patrol
#

He’s literally classed as a DK because right now, there’s no other human models with glowing eyes.

uncut vault
#

In fact, I think the original intention is that they were going to have htem blue, and once jaina took him to Calia, she'd make his eyes white and help him out

#

Blue eyes do not mean DK

#

Lilian voss also has blue eyes

terse patrol
#

I meant mechanically.

jade basalt
#

Basically. White eyes only make sense in the context of Calia as she was raised with Holy magic, but Derek should not have white eyes (at least not yet).

tropic trail
#

Alliance undead 😞

jade basalt
terse patrol
#

As in, rather than go into the work of making this model have their own special glowing eyes, just give them DK eyes.

#

He’ll probably get his normal eyes when he gets Lightforged by Calia.

tropic trail
#

Lightforging 😞

jade basalt
#

All the assault WQs are pretty much in a close-together straight line. It's beautiful.

calia doesnt get normal eyes

#

she specifically has glowing white eyes

terse patrol
#

Calia has no model in game yet.

#

I mean, her post-undead model.

(I really look forwards to seeing it.)

#

I suspect the Light Undead’s aesthetic will be silver/white, etc.

uncut vault

which is our point lol

that apparently isnt a light undead specific thing

a regular old forsaken like derek just has white glowing eyes too

I know its old, but since this is spoilers

an interesting line from an infinite shade in the tailoring questline at the bottom

zealous basalt
#

Another infinite?

uncut vault
#

infinite version of her in another timeline

#

establishes that any chronomancer can go infinite, not just bronze dragons

#

but the "shears of death" destroying the fabric of time is the interesting part to me

zealous basalt
#

In what part does it say?

#

Wait, delormi isn't a dragon? feels like one

uncut vault
#

Yeah its a weird name, but shes a nigthborne

#

we meet her magistrix and chronomancer selves

zealous basalt
#

Ohh...how do we know that she isnt' a dragon in a mortal disgui- oh

#

That infinite interaction only happens with the tailors?

flint meteor
#

8.2 ptr soon right?

tropic trail
#

probably. If they do it like in legion then next week

jade basalt
#

She is a Nightborne yeah, who gets transformed into a dragon in one timeline

zealous basalt
#

nani

#

Explain Mind

jovial coral
#

Neat

jade basalt
#

In different timelines she is different things, in one she Withers, in one she's the Magistrix, etc.

#

In one she gets Infinite dragon-ified.

zealous basalt
#

So like...did they explain how was a mortal able to become a dragon like that?

uncut vault
#

I dont think its specifically becoming a dragon, just becoming an infinite version of herself

#

which we dont entirely know what that means

#

just that now, it can apparently happen to non-dragon chronomancers

pulsar iris
#

or maybe in that timeline she was a dragon who disguised herself as nightborne

flint meteor
#

What is elune i mean i know she is a godess worshiped by the night elves and aids then from time to time, etc. But she has physical form???? Or shes like a world soul or what

jade basalt
#

It's never stated.

pulsar iris
#

people speculate a lot on what is elune, but we have no concrete answers about it

jade basalt
#

@zealous basalt Mortals have been turned into drakonaar and dragonspawn before, not surprised if one gets turned into a full dragon

flint meteor

Its kinda confusing

@jade basalt it might be also a part of the next expansion hero class dragon chosen /s

How many aspects left? Like 3 right noz alex kale

If im not missing 1

🤔

yeah those 3

#

ysera is dead, but her spirit in the dream i think

#

and the black dragons didnt chose a new aspect

flint meteor
#

Is it known the werebouts of alex?

zealous basalt
#

Probs in dragonblight as usual

flint meteor

I feel like something will hapen to one of the remaining aspects

we still dont know who wanted chromie killed

I mean, the most likely candidate for that is Nozdormu, but I think theyre saving that for the big leagues, this is just a bit of very intriguing fluff

#

I expected alexstrasza to have a role this xpac due to how strong a WC2 callback it is, but sadly not

jade basalt
#

She could, if the Dragon Isles are meant to be a BFA thing. But probably not, next expac.

jovial coral
#

Crazy stuff going down

#

Real things

jovial coral
#

Wow wise its going to be awesome

unborn glacier
#

@pulsar iris Pretty sure Ysera is dead dead. The aspects are mortal now, so Id bet she is truly did. The thing we saw in the heart of the dream was an echo of her, pretty sure

jade basalt
#

No they're right, it was confirmed her soul now resides within the Emerald Dream !

#

The Elune cinematic thing was more of a pretty ceremonial effect, she didn't actually tear Ysera's spirit into separate parts, nor create like 15 stars in one second. Just a magic effect, and Ysera isn't dead, her spirit was sent to the Dream.

unborn glacier
#

You got a source for this confirmation?

#

It would retcon the aspects becoming mortal

#

In cata

jade basalt
#

They were always mortal, in the sense that they could die. We killed Malygos in Wrath of the Lich King, which was before Cataclysm.
They were immortal in the sense that they could live forever.

lucid steeple
#

so bane gave jaina her brother back....dose that mean banes people will be in trouble with there bitch war chief

unborn glacier
#

They gave up their powers to defeat Deathwing and prevent the hour of twilight

#

Id find it hard to believe Ysera would still have the ability to remain alive in the dream

jade basalt
#

We killed Malygos in Wrath of the Lich King, which was before the Hour of Twilight.

#

They could always be killed.

#

But they were immortal in the sense that they could live forever.

unborn glacier
#

You aren't refuting my point

terse patrol
#

I’ve been suspecting that Sylvanas will put the only tauren who would seemingly obey her in power: Magatha Grimtotem.

jade basalt
#

You said It would retcon the aspects becoming mortal In cata

#

It's not a retcon.

unborn glacier
#

The aspects gave up their powers I'm cata

tropic trail
#

The forsaken will feast on steak tonight

terse patrol
#

And I suspect the Tauren are about to have a bad time, considering Magatha wants the Doom Stone.

jade basalt
#

They gave up their titan-given powers. They still have their own powers. Ysera was still Mistress of the Dream after Cataclysm, and still had her Dream powers, and they were still some of the most powerful beings on the planet.

#

She literally shows up in the fight against Xavius and helps you with Dream powers, and then after the raid when it's over.

tropic trail
#

I wonder if my [Arcane Blast] contains a bit of Malygos 😆

can blizzard fix the artifact tmog where you can tmog one blade and it wont just make both blades where if you ever take off the one blade it shows the other item not tmoged because as i was logging in my character showed as him with one artifact blade and a fistblade i thought they could do that but i log inand it dosent show it it shows both my blades as artifacts.

unborn glacier
#

@jade basalt Do you have a source to prove this so-called confirmation that Ysera is still alive in the dream?

jade basalt
#

As for my source it's BlizzCon 2016, Alex Afrasiabi at the WoW Q&A :

Um, spoilers. Yeah, she dies. So... heroes make sacrifices in our game. It's happening a lot in Legion. While Ysera, who is now mortal after Twilight of the Aspects, is dead--her spirit does live on. Don't hold on too long for her being gone for good.

I’ve been thinking that Thunder Bluff might end up being destroyed.

Not by the Alliance tho.

unborn glacier
#

I doubt it

#

It'd make no sense

#

And Blizzard would destroy the fanbase by having the horde destroy thunder bluff

terse patrol
#

Considering Magatha will probably replace Baine, and there’s some suspected Old Gody stuff going on inside of Thunder Bluff, plus the fact she wants the Doom Stone for something

unborn glacier
#

No, she likely won't

terse patrol
#

I think Thunder Bluff might just be a big, dormant silithid hive.

unborn glacier
#

I don't buy it. It'd be just pure stupidity if Blizzard had Sylvanas appoint the leader of an enemy to the Horde as the new leader of the Tauren

#

It'd just be so stupid

terse patrol
#

I mean, she recruited san’layn, Ashvane...

unborn glacier
#

The sanlayn were twisted by Arthas

#

They needed a home.

terse patrol
#

unborn glacier
#

That's like saying, well the Horde recruited the forsaken, so evil

terse patrol
#

You wanted to play the source game with Mind, I can do the same here 😂

unborn glacier
#

You'll have to wait. I'm at work and just getting off break

terse patrol
#

Nothing says the san’layn are somehow free of the Lich King, or looking for a “home.”

jade basalt
#

The San'layn were not "recruited".. they were Kael'thas-loyal blood elves whom Arthas slaughtered, and then raised.

tulip sun
#

The Horde takes in those without a home or purpose

terse patrol
#

The san’layn aren’t like dark rangers or forsaken.

tulip sun
#

The San'layn may be a bit...uhm, morally not correct, but it is people like them that the Horde tries to help.

terse patrol
#

They’re much darker.

tulip sun
#

Though we see most of them die so it really doesn't matter either way in the future xD

terse patrol
#

They really lack morality, since as a “race” they desire the blood of the living.

jade basalt
#

Like he literally wrecked their forces, decimated them, and raised them into undeath. He chased down every last one who had survived the battle, killed them and raised them.

tulip sun
#

I have to admit i'd like to see undead elves in general more.

jade basalt
#

So.. yeah it's not "recruitment" and cannot possibly be compared to the Horde inviting the Forsaken to join them.

tulip sun
#

Maybe explore Velonara as a character.

#

Other Dark Rangers

tropic trail
#

Too many elves

terse patrol
#

But ye. Sylvanas will need to replace Baine as a leader. And considering she was willing to take on Ashvane to one up the Alliance, I could see her doing something as dumb as putting Magatha in charge of the tauren.

tulip sun
#

No honestly.

#

Ashvane is a different matter.

#

She won't risk losing the entirety of the Tauren by appointing Magatha

tropic trail
#

Do the Darkspear even have a leader

terse patrol
#

Rokhan.

tulip sun
#

Well

#

Technically no.

terse patrol

He’s the one representing them at all events.

He's not the chief like Vol'jin

tulip sun

Sylvanas states there is a power vacuum and she has to appoint someone

#

Her top picks are Gadrin and Rokhan

tropic trail
#

Who's the Orc leader now that the elected leader Saurfang is gone? Eitrigg?

tulip sun
#

Uhhh, Eitrigg has been representing them

#

But nothing confirmed

tropic trail
#

He needs a Unique model

terse patrol

He’ll get one eventually. All Horde leaders do.

#

Still waiting for the Three Hammers to get their own models.

tropic trail

If sylvanas were to fall who would be an ideal replacement?

Lillian Voss.

They’re clearly prepping her to take her place.

Blightcaller will probably go along with Sylvanas

tulip sun

I don't know about Lilian

wet musk
#

For the Forsaken, there is also Calia Menethil

She doesn't seem leader material

#

Nathanos, Velonara.

Belmont

One of those original forsaken

#

Perhaps Sira or Delaryn xD

tropic trail

I dont think Lilian is a good forsaken leader material. she joined them just in BfA

she would need more develop as a member of the forsaken

yea I would take Nathanos, Belmont or one of the dark rangers over lilian

The New Horde always gets characterized as this more free faction, with a dark past they’re making up for.

Meanwhile, the Alliance is characterized as rigid, and ruled by a king. Yet despite that, the Alliance feels way more free.

Now more than ever is the chance to do it, because somehow they managed to pull off a MoP 2.0. But I still don't hold out any hope..

I think a Council would be the best for the Horde, after all what happened in MoP and BfA. But if we wont get one, well then I think blizz will probably never do it

i find it funny how baine says sylvanas will leave the horde in ruins. he means it both literally and not. but then i remember the higher ranked members of the horde destroy her plans time and time again. well, i guess it isn't sylvanas who's making the horde lose this war

dense plover
#

its not about the war

#

baine is talking about how sylvanas is destroying the core values of the horde

pulsar iris
#

yes. but also the war

dense plover
#

and how azeroth is dying

#

for baine, it is not about winning or losing the war

#

it is about the horde and azeroth

pulsar iris
#

i totally understand

#

but the horde will obviously be in ruins if they lose the war

dense plover
#

peace is a solution

ceasefire is a solution

#

you dont have to wipe your enemy off the map to win a war

pulsar iris
#

not with sylvanas in charge, tho. and if they fight among themselves, they will also be in ruins

dense plover
#

the horde has to remove sylvanas

#

its the best solution

pulsar iris
#

yes. for the whole azeroth

#

but i can't see it happening without another SoO kind of thing

and even doing that, it would still tear the horde appart

not to mention they arent THAT bad at writing

dose blizzard have plans to make every race a speical snow flake or will they eventually branch it out to other races like how. Kul tiran women get necklaces you can see...maybe there seeing how they work on one race and in the far future they will allow more races to have that or will they just keep it as it is for all life and never. make it more interesting?

uncut vault
#

Im sure they'll eventually make more customization, if slow

lucid steeple
#

AWSOME

#

i love that about blizzard 😃

Kul Tirans did come out two days ago 😛

lucid steeple
#

it came to my mind when i was looking at a kul tirans neck.

#

dont ask why O_O

tropic trail
#

Anything new

#

And I'm asking

#

Why?

lucid steeple
#

she had cheeze stuck to her neck O_O

tropic trail
#

So that's what you kids call it now..

lucid steeple
#

XD

tropic trail
#

I'm thinking about boosting a Kul'tiran

pulsar iris
#

yes, peach. they said it would not be another SoO. but i said i couldn't see sylvanas being removed if not like that. in a peaceful way that isn't going to happen. she will leave because she will have reasons, but not be removed like that. that is what i believe

tropic trail
#

I personally hope they axe her as being leader of the horde, but not kill her off

limber mural
#

I mean they could axe her figuratively or literally I wouldn't mind either way

cunning thorn
#

They could pit her against the lich king in a vain attempt to remove him which will be met with force (By both the Alliance and the resistance Horde faction) ultimately pushing her further away which could lead to her joining a "Third party" (Possible Old God influence) to further her goal of removing the lich king using the blade of Xal'atath

#

A) Sylvanas should remain Warchief
B) Old god influence doesn't work on the Undead

dense plover
#

^

#

This is 100% why sylvanas is horde leader

#

Someone told voljin and it is likely tied to the old gods in some way

#

This is likely how the story will be resolved. It’s not like sylvanas asked to be warchief. She only did it because voljin said so and she respects voljin

storm marsh
#

I have a question. I think I wasn't following this lore that much, but at the end of ICC it is said that there must always be a Lich King and Bolvar puts the crown on. What would have happened if nobody got the crown and became the lich king?

jade basalt
#

The Scourge would have been no longer contained, and would've rampaged through everything

#

This means that Arthas was containing the Scourge, and wasn't unleashing his full might, as per Blizzard.

#

Bolvar took his place in order to keep the Scourge contained, and became the new jailor of the damned.

terse patrol
#

@jade basalt That might have been a lie, tbh.

#

points at Yogg-Saron

unborn glacier
#

I don't see what you're getting at @terse patrol

terse patrol
#

I don’t feel like going into the long speel of it, but Yogg-Saron’s hands are all in the Icecrown arch.

unborn glacier
#

@jade basalt Mhmm. We know now he was trying to lure us in the entire time, fucking with us, to obtain azeroths greatest champions, before unleashing his might across the planet

terse patrol
#

His maw is even in the Icecrown skybox.

unborn glacier
#

Yeaaaah, I think you're reaching

terse patrol
#

His theme plays when the new Lich King is crowned.

unborn glacier
#

Yes. Because it was the old gods plan to have the Lich King killed

#

Undeath stands as the greatest force against the void

dense plover
#

Nope

#

Legion wanted the LK killed

terse patrol
#

And I think Bolvar is a puppet of Yogg-Saron. The long game was the Old Gods gaining control over the Scourge.

dense plover
#

Old gods wanted to control the LK

unborn glacier
#

Eyeroll

dense plover
#

But they couldn’t control arthas

#

And neither could the legion

unborn glacier
#

Old gods can't influence the Undead. They wanted him gone, as he was an obstacle. The Legion wanted revenge

dense plover
#

Yes

unborn glacier
#

@terse patrol Never gonna happen.

dense plover
#

But there are many hints that yogg wants to influence the LK

#

Remember, Bolvar is not undead

#

He isn’t quite alive either, but he isn’t undead

terse patrol
#

I mean, Ghost Terenas’ crown wasn’t the two horses/gryphons its supposed to be on it.

unborn glacier
#

Those hints were that he wanted Arthas gone.

It is unclear whether or not bolvar can be influenced, it has never been cleared up.

terse patrol
#

Instead, its a tentacley thing.

storm marsh
#

I love how I started this topic 🤣

cunning thorn
#

All we know is shit is happening and we kindly deliver the blade to N’zoth lmao

lucid steeple
#

Hail N'zoth

cunning thorn
#

But then the blade gets into the hands of Sylvanas which can only really mean she either wants to seal someone inside it or simply likes the transmog lmao

sudden oak
#

as a spriest I 100% understand if she only wanted it for mog

#

I would even lend her some skins

pulsar iris
#

i dont think she wants it for mog. i think she needs the waifu in it. shame on you, sylvanas. the waifu is already gone

night swift
#

I think you mean the Knifu

zealous basalt
#

peers

#

DID SOMEONE SAY KNAIFU

sudden oak
#

I mean even without knaifu on the dagger it is still a powerful artifact that would be able to house another powerful void entity 👀

#

also yes makore

#

we said knaifu

#

glory to knaifu

pulsar iris
#

knaifu was the knife waifu. i was refering to the waifu inside the knife

dense plover
#

uh

#

we dont know it can house another entity

#

dont state that like its a fact

#

we have no clue if it can be used that way

#

all we know is it has a bunch of sargeras' power in it, probably

tropic trail
#

Weebs

uncut vault
#

it actually already has another entity

#

"The echo of the blade Xal'atath lingers in the air before you. Though the consciousness that resided within the dagger is gone, the place it once occupied still resonates with power. You sense the weapon now speaks another voice. Another purpose.... You feel compelled to warn the king that the blade may now reside in the hands of the enemy."

shell arch
#

Warn the king

#

Hmm

#

And 'may now reside in the hands of the enemy'

#

So what happens after the nzoth questline

#

Cutscene i mean

tropic trail
#

Turalyon is the old god

uncut vault
#

Hands of the enemy is the Horde

#

That’s the post-raid quest that alliance do

lucid steeple
#

Is mythic BoD out yet im looking for the raid and its not there.

uncut vault
#

Not cross realm, no

#

last I checked, Alliance only has 15 guilds that have downed Jaina

whole cedar
#

24 guilds, raiderIO isn't currently able to track asia guilds

#

but yeah, still a ways to go... at this point my 5/9 might get famed slayer 😛

tropic trail
#

Oh I thought it was a general 100 and then we’d get to it lame

flint meteor
#

Hm nzoth says only he can save us from whats to come... Is it possible that sargeras will break free from the seat of the pantheon and come at us for real?

lucid steeple
#

Sargeras brakes out of Azeroth and attacks us irl

dense plover
#

@flint meteor virtually zero chance

#

first of all, thats fucking trash story telling

#

after ALL of Warcraft history, we FINALLY seal sargeras, and then he breaks out immediately?

#

thats fucking lame

#

secondly, old gods are notorious liars

#

they just want to control azeroth and create a void titan

zealous basalt
#

daamn peach

dense plover
#

its like the 50th time its come up

#

its dumb

#

and i wouldnt be suprised if Pyro is the reason why

#

good writing involves change

#

blizzard isnt perfect

#

but they arent absolute idiots

#

releasing sargeras would literally be the worst story thing to happen EVER

#

worse than Medan 404

zealous basalt
#

REEE

#

i can't decide

#

Druid or Sham for KT

#

both are classes I have never played with

night swift
#

Gotta go with those wicker beasts

uncut vault
#

my solution is both 😛

lucid steeple
#

When you say Months away till 8.2 you mean half a year?

#

Im hyped up for wow stuff

dense plover
#

probably late may

#

with ptr either next week or the week after

tulip sun
#

plot twist

#

It is this week

dense plover
#

i mean, it might be

#

when i said 'next week'

#

i meant this coming tuesday

lucid steeple
#

WAIT late may Peach your kidding that early?

#

i was thinking like 4 months or somethin 😮

uncut vault
#

for PTR

#

not the release

tropic trail
#

no he was talking about the release. late may , 28 May = 77 days cycle. but only if that theory is true

#

I can imagine 8.2 comes like 2 weeks after 28 may

dense plover
#

Late may also lines up with a whole bunch of other mmo releases

#

Remember what we saw at blizzcon? They’ve been working on 8.2 probably since 8.0 released or maybe even before

uncut vault
#

supported by how little was truly new, artwise, in 8.1

#

Darkshore got about a dozen actually new buildings

#

dazar'alor has been there since launch

#

none of the ground assets in either were redone

#

nor was there majorly new PvP stuff, which we know is going to be a big thing in the zones of Nazjatar

distant folio
#

Well, 8.1/8.1.5 completely revamped two battlegrounds, with entirely new assets, assets we've not even ever seen before.

#

In fact Red Shirt Guy is so perplexed at that (on twitter) he thinks it may be foreshadowing something. The human buildings for example use an entirely new architecture, and assets, that we've never seen used anywhere before. It's possible these may be re-used somewhere else down the line, maybe next expansion?

#

But yeah, disagree with the claim that there was nothing new artwise in 8.1/8.1.5, plus there was also Dazar'alor (they literally added a whole iceberg half under the pyramid we had on Live), and soon Crucible of Storms. And also the Darkshore sets.

dense plover
#

or they might be reusing them on islands

#

or just in general

#

sometimes updating assets b/c you plan to use them is worth it

distant folio
#

Yup. Oh, maybe Crestfall?

#

Or was Crestfall's style different too?

dense plover
#

crestfall has kul tiran architecture

#

but it has horde architecture too

#

could maybe be stuff to do with a new warfront maybe

#

i really hope we get at least one more before the expac ends

#

i like them

distant folio
dense plover
#

yeah

#

both of the 8.2 isles look good

#

a pandaria isle in a different color scheme

#

and fucking crestfall

distant folio
#

So that's another bunch of unique assets coming in 8.2. There's really a lot. Plus all the Ethereal stuff that came in 7.3, some of which was used a tiny bit in the Void elf quest (well, the models).

#

My bet is we're going to see Ethereals again at some point.

dense plover
#

i dont expect them much in 8.2

#

thats naga and nzoth

distant folio
#

They're also having Shadreen do shady stuff now, so we're bound to face them at some point.
Yeah, not in 8.2, that's naga and Azshara.
8.3 is N'Zoth, and MAYBE Ethereals. But if not, I'd put Ethereals later, or in the next expansion.

#

For all we know this expansion could end with Void lords, and ethereals could be relevant

dense plover
#

i really hope 8.3 doesnt have nzoth as the boss

#

i want nzoth to be freed so we get a full on black empire expac

#

void lords are unlucky

#

mainly because we cant really fight them

#

and they cant really fight us

distant folio
#

I don't know if he'll be a boss, but yeah he's definitely going to be in 8.3 according to blizzcon :p

dense plover
#

ofc

#

im just saying i dont want to fight nzoth yet

#

at least not defeat it

dense plover
#

not to mention, return of the black empire is a fucking awesome expac title

flint meteor
#

would it have content for 1 whole xpac? i mean just nzoth and his minions aint it? since the others dead

lucid steeple
#

maybe they dont let it beat him but they give the us the wow community a chance or players in general they make a supper hard raid where the first team to beat him judges the future of Azeroth like if they time if the first team in wipes N"zoth litteral haunts Azeroth for a month or something and spawns in monsters and such. if effect the world water changes color..some buildings are effected except for those blessed enough with light or Elune

#

that would be awsome but not likely wont happen

#

sounds cool on paper but im sure everyone wont like it.

#

or....each server can be effected like if it can be a mythic thing where everyone has to be from same server and if they win Azeroth gose on normally but if they wipe You see N'zoths form in the sky its thundery and dark ish. oooo sounds cool on paper but i know in reality wouldn't work.

dense plover
#

the others arent dead

#

only yshaarj is dead

#

the others were pushed back in their prisons

#

yogg and cthun are definitely still alive

#

and having a raid where you have to fight all 3 would be badass

#

@lucid steeple this is an mmo, that will never happen

strange falcon
#

imo 8.3 raid after azshara could have some old gods in it,but imo it's just going to be nzoth fleshing out raid

#

and 3 oldgod raid is for next expac

dense plover
#

i hope so

#

thats what i want

jade basalt
#

I'm okay with fighting imprisoned or weakened Old Gods, but the idea of fighting fully freed Old Gods is the opposite of appealing to me. It's like if we fought full-fledged titans, or Sargeras. It's just too much.

dense plover
#

i mean, i could see nzoth being an entire raid

#

like you have to fight the eyes, the tentacles, the maw, the heart

strange falcon
#

but arent we "helping"nzoth? tho

dense plover
#

it could work

strange falcon
#

maybe maybe
