theyre tweaking to buff rotations and fix them

#

DKs are getting all of their issues fixed

#

theyre trying to help guardian druids too

unborn glacier
#

@worldly storm Yes. I quite enjoy BM. The DoD build is fun, especially when you get good procs

#

Kept getting between 33-41k on pull on mythic Mekka, resting at 24-26k after until intermission. 18k-20 after intermission.

tropic trail
#

I hope they dont change much on MM Hunter. I love MM how it is now. playing without a pet and bursting everyone down in seconds is that kind of hunter I love to play

unreal minnow
#

I hope they make BFA more "dangerous" like Vanilla, be more like Hard mode, when i go out from Stormwind, theres dangerous Azeroth waiting me. Not like now, im phasing from zone to zone doing pointless things casually. It feels like theres literally game button PLAY and whole BFA plays by itself, ur just here to observe and pay.

dense plover
#

not gonna happen

#

first of all, its an mmo

#

second of all, most people dont have time for that

#

thats what makes WQs great

#

if you only have 30 min, you can get some stuff done without feeling like you are constantly a million miles behind

#

also, vanilla wasnt hard because of difficulty

#

it was hard because it was slow

uncut vault
#

I feel like the solution to that would be (in 9.0, not BfA), bringing back elite areas as additional world quests

dense plover
#

it took everything you had to kill one mob and then you had to eat after

#

thats lame

#

not fun

#

there are elite areas in nazjatar

#

at least during some WQs

#

some areas get infested with mobs where the lowest health is 400k or so

uncut vault
#

There are scenario spawns, which are good

#

I mean like, up for 24 hours, go do it if you have a group ones

dense plover
#

theres a couple of elite only areas as well

uncut vault
#

One or two up at a time, at all times

dense plover
#

the area around the raid entrance

#

a couple of the corners

#

theres some

uncut vault
#

Those are only in the pre-questing phase

#

They’re gone when you get the tidestone and the raid opens

dense plover
#

oh

#

thats lame

#

i understand why

#

but its still lame

#

has anyone figured out what the zone wide WQ rewards are?

#

where a bunch of elites spawn with the big stars

whole cedar
#

PTR went down just as we won a battle for nazjatar πŸ˜„

ionic terrace
#

Shutdown?

hasty elbow
#

i guess shutdown since all realms are still offline now.

terse patrol
#

Hope we get some broadcast text

forest sphinx
#

What? PTR is down?

#

Update Inc

plain crescent
#

Yeah, think it was about 2gb

agile token
forest sphinx
#

It's to tell you that you need to use a portal

agile token
#

well yes

plain crescent
#

Ah I guess that's the new travel guide they talked about, wanted to make it easier to find your way around

agile token
#

We got 8.2's music!

unreal minnow
#

IS PTR on?

dense plover
#

THERES MUSIC IN THIS BUILD

#

HOORAY

#

theres TONS of music

agile token
#

MUSIIIIIIIIIIIIIC

dense plover
#

i wont upload them all, but this is a preview of the quality

#

its some kind of heroic theme

junior prairie
#

hehe beat you by a tad mr πŸ˜‰ thanks though love the music! it's gorgeous

dense plover
#

my guess is its theme music for the raid

agile token
#

Sounds amazing

dense plover
#

probably one of the first pieces

agile token
#

Give me all of it

dense plover
#

sort by type mp3

junior prairie
#

you bugger :V lol but yeah, it's most likely Nazjatar and raid music

dense plover
#

giant crab is an achievement mount

#

Undersea Usurper

#

new island music too i think

ionic terrace
dense plover
#

also reminds me of drustvar

#

which is strange

#

because I thought drustvar was done

#

oh damn

#

naz portal looking sweet

#

load screens in?

ionic terrace
#

no

uncut vault
#

nazjatar being north of kul tiras in the map is

#

very not correct

outer hinge
#

ooo i love the music alot, i cant wait to hear it with the zones and sounds of combat o-o

lone marten
#

@uncut vault It isnt actually located there, thats just an icon taking you to the actual map, like argus

dense plover
#

prepare yourselves

#

highmountain HoA music

#

im like 90% sure

#

oh damn

#

now im conflicted

plain crescent
#

damn the first quest when you get to nazjatar as alliance shocked me, not sure if it's new for this patch since I haven't played PTR in awhile

uncut vault
#

I hope thats true, but even then, its a terrible spot

dense plover
#

might be snowpaw island music

uncut vault
#

and its only on the kul tiras map

#

and also not stylized to indicate its not actually a part of this map like argus

lone marten
#

it is going to be on the zandalar map

dense plover
#

definitely snowpaw music

#

theres a lot of this style

#

island theme mixed with pandaren music

lone marten
#

Damn I love it

#

Pandaria is the best

dense plover
#

"Test characters are now granted access to all Rank 3 Essences within the class Proving Grounds. Players can access the Proving Grounds by speaking to their respective class trainer in a capital city"

#

mightve started to find mechagon music

#

im not 100% because no file names

#

but it seems likely

#

it has the mechanical sound

#

definitely

#

just found a version with bassoon and horns

#

a goblin version

uncut vault
#

well the pvp azerite trait is hilariously underwhelming

#

you dont get to choose, it has a set passive one

dense plover
#

do you mean underwhelming?

#

or is it very good?

uncut vault
#

yes, typo

dense plover
#

oh ok

#

ofc you dont get to choose

#

that would e busted

#

and then everyone would use it

#

especially since you get it outside of pvp

uncut vault
#

I mean, now nobody is gonna use it lol

#

the ones chosen are some of the worst ones that nobody picks

#

also, about that training ground thing

dense plover
#

they might change it

uncut vault
#

blizz forgot to put a rested area

dense plover
#

XD

uncut vault
#

you cant change traits

dense plover
#

that might get fixed soon

#

otherwise its waiting until after memorial day

agile token
#

So I race changed my night elf to tauren, but can't seem to get the heritage armor quest

dense plover
agile token
#

I was assuming I could do it

dense plover
#

you need to be exalted and have done the baine quest

agile token
#

Ah the baine quest

dense plover
uncut vault
#

they definitely need to upgrade all the other portals

#

cause this is out of place lol

dense plover
#

FYI these are my naming schemes

#

not official

#

oh damn

#

some of this mechagon stuff sounds like some of the band stuff ive played

#

love it

agile token
#

Alright well, on another tauren now. Baine quest done and exalted. Quest is not there

dense plover
#

theyre also mixing in some tropical themes

#

to remind the island aesthetic

#

take a listen

#

and theyre reusing bits from the MOTHERLODE

#

like references

#

not cut and paste

#

mixed with gnome stuff

#

its really really great

unreal minnow
#

So whats new after restart?

dense plover
#

found the nazjatar music

#

at least im pretty sure

agile token
#

I mean the files are named nazjatar

dense plover
agile token
foggy abyss
#

Sounds good

mystic heart
dense plover
#

fuck me

#

theres 2 hours?

#

no wonder im taking so long

unreal minnow
#

Is there a NPC for equipment?

dense plover
#

mount equipment?

#

no

#

dont think so

uncut vault
#

they somehow made the female belf eyes even worse

#

I didnt think it was possible

dense plover
#

lots of detail added to newhome

#

and probably all of nazjatar

#

crucible of flaame has a new icon

unreal minnow
#

CAn you seee dmg numbers?

dense plover
#

they removed the color on the benthic and pearled tags

#

theyre just green

#

@unreal minnow can you normally?

#

pretty sure its an option to toggle

unreal minnow
#

I cannot see them.

dense plover
#

might be bugged

#

ill check

#

check your settings

unreal minnow
#

πŸ˜„

dense plover
#

i have dmg numbers

#

so music is in

#

but doesnt seem to be implemented

forest sphinx
#

Do we have an ETA as to when 8.2 is going to be out?

dense plover
#

no

#

Grizzek and Saphronetta have unique on click VO

#

not complex

#

basic stuff

#

but its cool

#

or i havent clicked enough gnomes and goblins

#

i could be wrong

uncut vault
#

they are new

#

I like saphronettas a lot

tropic trail
#

Im really curious why they still dont added the full Velonara quest on the ptr. mhh maybe its 8.2.5 content

foggy abyss
#

i don't understand shit about that Velonara quest tbh lul

tropic trail
#

I think thats where they will probably introduce Calia or something

#

since we had back in 8.1 datamined ingame Propaganda books about Calia and they still not in the game, right?

terse patrol
#

Lol what if Calia takes Velonara and makes her light undead?

#

@uncut vault

uncut vault
#

dont put that idea in my head

zealous basalt
#

this channel is bugged for me

frigid crater
#

@zealous basalt what's the problem?

zealous basalt
#

notifications are kinda odd

#

whenever i check on here and scroll down it just doesn't registers that i saw it and it keeps getting lit

frigid crater
#

please click 'mark as read' and try again

#

I'm experiencing the same problem

zealous basalt
#

dat worked

dense plover
#

EXCELLENT REFERENCE

#

in regards to the murloc dance question from earlier

#

its the karazhan dance

tranquil steeple
unreal minnow
#

I fixed it, thank you ❀

tall parrot
#

So i want to do essence chain. Earthen Guardian is not giving me starting quest. What i am missing?

uncut vault
#

thats no longer the starting quest

#

you now need to do Nazjatar up to getting your base

tall parrot
#

Oh alright. Thanks

uncut vault
#

you know, with the new whispers in mind, I think the eye of nzoth might continue into 8.2

#

some of the whispers in 8.1.5 have yet to be whispered

#

such as this one, which seems like it would work very well with the horde war campaign

#

"With every choice, you become more my servant."

zealous basalt
#

Do we have new locations to access the proving grounds?

zealous basalt
#

You know, I find very iconic that our first essence came from a black dragon

dense plover
#

the big star icon for the naga commanders has chaanged

#

its a trident now

#

oh my god

#

they made it so you can mount in the newhome cave

#

so good

vivid harness
#

10/10 mounting in the cave saved bfa

unborn glacier
#

tropic trail
#

@serene marsh hey, do you think its worth to watch out again for the old whispers and visions we had when bfA started? since we know now a lot more.
like this one: https://www.wowhead.com/news=278675/the-visions-of-ogmot-the-steadfast-spoilers#journal-page-10

or: https://www.wowhead.com/news=283179/the-whispers-of-barrowknoll-cemetery-battle-for-azeroth-alpha#whispers-mysterious-whispers

zealous basalt
#

oboi

serene marsh
#

yeah those were fun πŸ˜„ I should revisit barrowknoll

#

Mysterious Whisper whispers: Her blood is making him stronger. Yours will, too.

tropic trail
#

yea thats pretty much Azeroth

#

but that one: Mysterious Whisper whispers: "Night falls. Her song will end."

#

similiar to the Nzoth whisper from 8.1.5

serene marsh
#

well the first whisper relates not just to azeroth but the azshara fight

tropic trail
#

mhh probably youre right

tall parrot
#

So how come Jaina ( for Horde) and Gammon ( for Alliance) are fighting for Azshara ? I am confused.

hollow granite
#

because that's what the writers wanted

vestal wing
#

pretty sure there is a logical explanation for this

tall parrot
#

DnD wrote script ?

uncut vault
#

The explanation is that they wanted characters who could work with the other faction, Jaina usually fits that bill, and Greymane got pre-neutered in before the Storm, so now he just cares about Sylvanas

smoky mural
#

wait why gammon

#

gammon a meme

#

why is he fighting azshara

umbral lake
#

Gammon will save us all

strange falcon
#

@jade basalt in pic 2 isnt that tortolla?(or whatever the turtle loa was called),also blizz said they wanted to finish the ozumat+neptulon storyline with a raid all the way back in cata,so maybe we're getting it now.

#

absolutely best case scenario but also highly unlikely is if we get the throne of the tides raid from cataclysm(which there is a model in the files for and an entrance in vash'jr) as a miniraid

forest sphinx
#

Is there any addons that work with the PTR or no?

unreal minnow
#

All addons can work

#

use outdated just check that box

#

etc

dense plover
#

They might break things

#

The problem with using addon is you might report something as a bug

#

When the problem is the addon

#

I purposefully do not use any addons on ptr so I can report any bugs I run into

#

And provide suggestions

unreal minnow
#

%%

#

oops

jade basalt
#

@strange falcon Just a random turtle, there are some beyond the water walls

tulip sun
#

Wait...

#

Gammon doesn't actually appear does he

unborn glacier
#

I, Gamon, will save us!

zealous basalt
#

Next warchief is gamon confirmed

unborn glacier
#

kek

zealous basalt
#

And he is going to be on the pub we find him in vanilla

ionic terrace
tropic trail
#

I wonder if we get anything on live on Tuesday

#

Hopefully a new magni quest atleast lol

ionic terrace
#

They gave the Org portal room an actual name

tulip sun
#

What is it

tropic trail
#

Df they did ?

zealous basalt
#

you know

#

with all the stuff they are adding into nazjatar i wonder

#

what will the next area have?

foggy abyss
#

So if there indeed is

#

a 3rd zone

#

i'm expecting Ny'alotha

#

And i'm not expecting Ny'alotha to be real

#

I'm expecting it to be a dream, quite similar to the emerald nightmare

dense plover
#

Super unlikely imo

#

Dragon isles would make the most sense

#

Dragons are being built up as part of 8.2

#

And it’s an actual physical place

zealous basalt
#

but wouldn't it be like

#

somewhat off from go to Nazjatar to the Dragon Isles?

dense plover
#

They wouldn’t make a whole zone of a dream, like emerald dream was only a small section

#

Not really

#

Dragon isles has a few old god motifs

#

Big weird tentacle thing with a shell

zealous basalt
#

but is that really confirmed?

dense plover
#

And with dragons becoming relevant, it’s imo the most likely

#

It is confirmed canon bare minimum

#

And I imagine they would use the concept art with the big fossil thing

zealous basalt
#

Hmm

#

we are yet to see

#

I hope tho

dense plover
#

That art

#

It IS canon tho - which had been a question for a while

#

Hopefully it would mean finally getting wrathion lore as well

zealous basalt
#

inb4 the first thing datamined is a new wrathion model

uncut vault
#

Probably two new Wrathion models lol

#

Human form and drake form

zealous basalt
#

i want him to be a whelp forever tho

tropic trail
#

I say 8.3 will be a) dragon isles or b) ny'alotha

zealous basalt
#

Or

#

both like 8.2

tropic trail
#

well yea

#

since the last interview I can really see how they dont make a full black empire expansion and make it just a 8,3 patch

zealous basalt
#

Hmm

#

I mean, if they make it better than argus, it could be good

unborn glacier
#

They'd really be shooting themselves in the foot if they took something like the return of the Black Empire and made it patch content and not an Xpac worth of content

tropic trail
#

Imagine you're Nzoth, living million of years, plotting shit for over 100 thousand of years, just to get fucked over in a patch

#

feelsbadman for him if he gonna end as loot fodder in BfA

zealous basalt
#

Do you mean Sargeras?

#

Or probably one patch in nyalotha and then forward it into a full black empire expac

uncut vault
#

"The team believes the two-year expansion cycle with three major content patches is the right thing right now."

#

RIP people hoping for an 8.4

tulip sun
#

I just think the story could benefit. I don't see how this ends in one more patch

vestal wing
#

it will just go into prepatch for 9.0

#

we miht get 8.3.5 with some goodies

#

and then go into next expansion

lone marten
#

I really hope they take ideas and gameplay from classic and implement it into the next expansion

tulip sun
#

If they wanted something from classic it would be ingame already

vestal wing
#

I don't want any of this classic stuff in the game - they haven't removed most of this old stuff for no reason.

tulip sun
#

Yup

candid coral
#

Is there a re-usable augment rune in the ptr?

zealous basalt
#

I thought they said legendary effects were on testeable on the proving grounds?

#

dah, my bad

vivid veldt
#

moving it here

so is it 100% confirmed there's no additional wheel of traits? like no 3rd wheel of primary traits for more combos in 8.2?
just the titan essences?

zealous basalt
#

Havent seen news about it, but i think they are focused on reworking the whole system with the new traits of the Heart

meager zodiac
#

it seems 8.2 wont do much to help bfa.

#

9.0 and the A team cant get here soon enough

zealous basalt
#

Still need 8.3

#

Wonder if they would pull the same this blizzcon

#

Exp announcement with big ass spoilers

meager zodiac
#

what kind of miracle will 8.3 pull off to fix bfa?

languid yoke
#

shirtless genn

zealous basalt
#

The same miracle they did with Legion?

#

Don't forget that Legion started off bad

meager zodiac
#

oh yeah

#

it got fixed in wich patch

#

?

#

remind me

languid yoke
#

legion got better in 7.1 tho

zealous basalt
#

I'd say 7.2

meager zodiac
#

ah

#

do you think 8.2 fixes anything

#

?

languid yoke
#

7.2 was broken shore tho, that was bad

meager zodiac
#

it was 7.1

zealous basalt
#

I mean, makes stuff less boring than 8.1

languid yoke
#

oh was it

meager zodiac
#

no

#

7.1 was what fixed legion

#

8.2 is pretty bad from what we see

zealous basalt
#

7.1 was shit as fuck, like really

meager zodiac
#

the story in nazjatar is meaningless

#

the zone is dull

#

mechagon is the high light

zealous basalt
#

that stupid focus on the damn shal'dorei

meager zodiac
#

...

languid yoke
#

7.1 had one of the best raids ever

meager zodiac
#

the... the raid

languid yoke
#

had karazhan

meager zodiac
#

was about shaldorei

languid yoke
#

had better m+

meager zodiac
#

they had the right amount of focus lol

#

it was the amount of focus the naga should be getting, not 4 quests in 3 weeks

languid yoke
#

and they had tyrande deal with shaldorei

#

unlike azshara :^)

meager zodiac
#

yeah

#

arent you happy jaina and genn get to fight azshara!!!?

languid yoke
#

not really, no

#

I want Genn to fight Sylvanas and not Azshara

zealous basalt
#

I am happy that we are getting rid of that fish

meager zodiac
#

arent you happy nazjatar is literaly just a bunch of scatered buildings

#

that looks more like a camp

#

tha a capital of anything

languid yoke
#

if the upcoming sylvanas fight does not include Genn because "he is busy elsewhere" I'm gonna throw a tantrum

zealous basalt
#

I mean, what did you want? a full focus for Nazjatar?

meager zodiac
#

tyrande will probably go evil or become the story laughing joke in 8.3

#

mh yes?

#

i wasnt expecting a worse version of argus

languid yoke
#

nazjatar being the bigger zone, yeah

#

but mechagon is somehow the focus

meager zodiac
#

i wasnt expecting 3 weeks of time gated story

#

i wasnt expecting all the wrong characthers there

#

i wasnt expecting that azshara is there just for a plot point

zealous basalt
#

If that's how they can shut down that part of the story for new things, they are all welcomed

meager zodiac
#

i was expecting something at least "decent" or at least mediocre

languid yoke
#

the only decent char choice for nazjatar is Lor'themar

zealous basalt
#

Never liked the naga story tbh

meager zodiac
#

oh you dont like it

#

but you think that something hinted from wc3

#

should only get a half of a patch

#

because we all know the actual story is going to happen after the raid

#

azshara dies, nzoth is free and sylvester reveals her plot

#

making nazjatar as relevant as a big island expedition

languid yoke
#

sylvanas endgame snaps fingers anti-sylvanas horde and alliance vanishes

#

ggnore

meager zodiac
#

id rather have that

#

and i like night elves, who i know

#

will be villified or be put in the wrong because they dont want anduin's peace

#

they like managed to piss of basicaly every major group of the playerbase

zealous basalt
#

Major group?

meager zodiac
#

people that care for gameplay, people that like raids, people that like story, people that like specific races

#

if you dont like humans, orcs or baine this story is atrocious

unborn glacier
#

Never liked Baine.

meager zodiac
#

at least eso and ff14 are getting traction

unborn glacier
#

Cairne was cool

meager zodiac
#

better mmo's should get even more attention

unborn glacier
#

Lol

zealous basalt
#

...ESO...better?

night swift
#

Ff14 is getting a new xpac the same day 8.2 is supposedly launching

unborn glacier
#

I'm with makore

meager zodiac
#

than wow? for story, lore, ambient and questing ? yes

zealous basalt
#

That's a first

#

...Story, lore, AMBIENT?

meager zodiac
#

wow is extremely atrocious right now so that isnt saying anything

unborn glacier
#

@night swift We have zero idea when 8.2 launches

zealous basalt
#

I am sorry but

night swift
#

Its kinda hard to compare eso to wow

zealous basalt
#

Yeah, really different

night swift
#

The launch date was a rumor

#

Not confirmed

meager zodiac
#

i mean i want 8.2 to be quick

#

its obvious its not that big of a patch

night swift
#

Which is why I say β€œSupposedly”

meager zodiac
#

and the real story happens after the raid

languid yoke
#

8.2 is still a big patch

zealous basalt
#

Still need 8.2.5

languid yoke
#

just not as big as it could or should have been

meager zodiac
#

wich is where the actual plot will happen i asume

unborn glacier
#

No other MMO has ever been able to keep me like WoW does.

meager zodiac
#

mechagon is cool

#

wich is funny

languid yoke
#

we're still missing any kind of class balance and heroic war fronts

meager zodiac
#

the trash gnomes are better than the naga capital

unborn glacier
#

The lore alone far surpasses any other MMO

zealous basalt
#

Your issue there is that Nazjatar was made a smaller zone

meager zodiac
#

ah!

#

the lore?

#

are you kiding me

zealous basalt
#

I mean, nothing bad there

meager zodiac
#

eso has tons of lore to every bit of thing you find in the gameplay

unborn glacier
#

Lol

meager zodiac
#

voice lined everything in the questing

#

wow lore is trash

languid yoke
#

nazjatar is a big zone, but it's not what it's supposed to be like

meager zodiac
#

we literaly had the chronicles retconed in the same expact they were released

night swift
#

Ff14 lore builds just by playing the main story

meager zodiac
#

we already have characthers acting out of lore from legion with thalysra making up lies

night swift
#

Which is how you progress the game

unborn glacier
#

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. WoW is bad. It's a dead MMO 4head"

  • Maythemoonruleoveryana#1851
meager zodiac
#

we dont have any consistency in events, how magic works

#

wow lore is so good we have discussions about how much free will forsaken have because a tweet made things more confusing

#

the last novel had forsaken literaly act out of characther in their society

#

wow lore is not good

unborn glacier
#

XD

night swift
#

They also have the problem of making more lore in the books and side things but then in WoW they use like scraps of it

meager zodiac
#

and then not paying attention or communicating

#

forsaken cant clap yall

unborn glacier
#

Maythemoonruleoveryana seems to be a McConnell wannabe

meager zodiac
#

but then we go to nazmir and we see a forsaken cut in half

#

and he just gets up

#

forsaken cant have any past memories and atachement to lordaeron and burn books, but sylvannas has a whole speech in cata leveling of how the forsaken are the people of lordaeron in life and death

#

if this is good lore

#

then i sugest you get into comics

#

you have the same amount of consistency

#

but its more self aware

unborn glacier
#

Cx

meager zodiac
#

such amazing lore.

zealous basalt
#

And all because Nazjatar isn't as big as how some people want it.

meager zodiac
#

is not a question of wanting

#

its a question of "deserves"

#

if you think something like nazjatar deserves to be reduced to this after years of hinting and speculation

zealous basalt
#

Naga don't deserve a lot of attention rather than being put on spikes along their unworthy queen

unborn glacier
#

There's such thing as engine limitations xD

zealous basalt
#

Also that

meager zodiac
#

engine limitations they dont mind creating those fancy water walls

unborn glacier
#

Lol

zealous basalt
#

Because it would take a lot to do those stuff and would take countless things to add

meager zodiac
#

and such limitations the zone is badly used

zealous basalt
#

and it would make things bored

unborn glacier
#

You just love reeing

zealous basalt
#

Heck

#

People like to trash on the size of Suramar because it is supposed to be enormous

#

But in my humble opinion

meager zodiac
#

i have never ever seen anyone complain about the scale of suramar

zealous basalt
#

...That--

meager zodiac
#

i have seen people say its not too easy to navigate, that you cant just walk around witout mobs

#

and that is hell witout flying

zealous basalt
#

Was a big topic before, like it is even said nowadays that it neeeded to be more big

#

Heck, I don't think if you have realized but Azeroth is heavily downscaled to our pleasure

meager zodiac
#

i do realize

#

because of the books paint a difrent scale

#

that is why suramar is the perfect size

#

nazjatar is not

#

it doesnt look or feel like a city or a capital

zealous basalt
#

And maybe you have to ask yourself that Nazjatar was developed that way because it would take a lot to explore or to have relevant content for it

meager zodiac
#

ahh such exploration an meanigfull content

#

boring world quests we have always seen

zealous basalt
#

And even if it doesnt look like a city it is 'maybe' because we are supposed to be in a smaller section by pure coincidence only accessing to whateverthename of the city is

unborn glacier
#

It's literally the RUINS of Zin'azshari lol

meager zodiac
#

it isnt a coincidence, we see the palace and there isnt anything else in the surrounding area

#

im talking a bout nazjatar?

#

the naga city?

#

i mean you usee "reeee" unironicaly

#

so i dont expect much smarts of you

unborn glacier
#

If you expected a massive city, you clearly don't know the lore... Considering the majority of the city was completely destroyed in the Sundering

zealous basalt
#

I think the important area which is the palace of Aszhara has a perfect entrance

#

Unless it is the back door

#

because how much we like to access through back doors

dense plover
#

It is the back

zealous basalt
#

Is it?

#

...Well, I figured it

#

hah get rekt

unborn glacier
#

Lol

zealous basalt
#

but i saw

meager zodiac
#

im not talking about the ruins of zin aszhari

#

im talking about nazjatar, not the freaking azsuna repeat

zealous basalt
#

I did not expect a city because if we were on the real Nazjatar

dense plover
#

There are bags buildings

unborn glacier
#

Lol

dense plover
#

Half the zone has them

zealous basalt
#

We could have been dead

meager zodiac
#

the area around the raid entrace is bare

dense plover
#

They’re in the caves

zealous basalt
#

...

#

What do you talk of

meager zodiac
#

if that looks like a capital of an empire

#

you have to sell me a bridge makore

unborn glacier
#

Lol

#

More reeeing

tropic trail
#

Genn is weak

meager zodiac
#

you have a sylvannas icon, you should enjoy it

zealous basalt
#

I will build you a bridge and put it next to you if that's the case

tropic trail
#

thats all I have to say

#

πŸ‘€

zealous basalt
#

You silence, we not talking about genn

#

But yes, think of Nazjatar as one part of it and not alll Nazjatar

meager zodiac
#

you dont care for nazjatar or naga, but to say it didnt deserve something of a larger scale is being ignorant of how much it was hinted

zealous basalt
#

...

#

No, I don't care

meager zodiac
#

and the part surrounding the statue and the entrance is bare

tulip sun
#

You can see zinc azshari and such spans much farther than what we physically go to

meager zodiac
#

the buildings are scarce, it doesnt look like a city

#

it looks like a camp or a suburb

zealous basalt
#

Peach above said it was the back door of the freaking palace

meager zodiac
#

a capital of anything is supposed to have a lot of buildings all put together, not a lot of empty spots

zealous basalt
#

And what if it is actually a suburb of it?

#

Probably the 'lowborne' part of it

#

due those deep sea jinju

meager zodiac
#

so lowborne the tide stone is there, we see royal guards, royal gardens

zealous basalt
#

but no, let's trash it and not use our brains

meager zodiac
#

we see zones dedicated to scholars and factions

#

but no, lets accept mediocracity and not expect more

zealous basalt
#

Why to expect more?

meager zodiac
#

because it deserved more? because it could be more? because they should be trying their bests to provide the very best product?

zealous basalt
#

I mean, Nagas aren't the selling point of it

#

its Mechagon and the junker gnome story

meager zodiac
#

....

#

rise of azshara

#

is the name

#

of the patch

#

the raid is her palace

zealous basalt
#

Rise and death of Azshara it seems

meager zodiac
#

yes and so the last wc3 villain goes down, just a filler for nzoth wich is probably the most boring and predictable villain in the history of villains

zealous basalt
#

shrug Its better if we get rid of the past links already

meager zodiac
#

true

#

then can we kill anduin, jaina genn

jovial coral
#

I don't want Azshara to die

zealous basalt
#

Nazjatar is good for what it has to offer, just a back door access to the palace while Aszhara send their honor guards to their death as she teases with us with a smal glance to a small section of the ruins of Zin'ashari

meager zodiac
#

since they are pretty old characther

#

especialy jaina

#

she has overstayed her presence

#

i cant wait for golden to leave the story, and she gets the knaak arch

#

meaning she gets to cry on twitter as the new writter kills her pet characthers

zealous basalt
#

That is what I expect to be honest, although Anduin is not from W3, its from WoW

meager zodiac
#

bombing of stormwind he dies

zealous basalt
#

Gets to cry on twitter as you are crying here?

#

πŸ€”

#

And brown, sooner or later a villain has to die

terse patrol
#

jaina is a pet character

meager zodiac
#

a villain that hasnt done anything in ages?

jovial coral
#

I think if Sylvanas becomes less involved it will create more story

terse patrol

literally a character from WC3

meager zodiac

and finale gets her first apearence

#

with her actual new model and actual voice

zealous basalt
#

Irrelevant

meager zodiac
#

if you dont think golden considers jaina a pet of hers

terse patrol
#

Knaak characters are literally elevated fan fic characters.

meager zodiac
#

you havent read the 2 books dedicated around her

#

and this whole expansion

terse patrol
#

β€œhey blizz i made a fan fic about dragons”

meager zodiac

knaak characthers never got to the point

β€œhey lets make this guys fan fic lore”

soooo

call me when rhonin does that

terse patrol

Because they were that shitty. shruga

meager zodiac

oh wait he dead

#

but jaina is absolutly one of the pet characthers of the writing team currently

her and anduin

zealous basalt

Like Sylv and everyone else

terse patrol

Reminder that Knaak cemented the Windrunner Human Fetish meme.

meager zodiac

sylv?

ah

i would love if she got that treatment

#

where is sylvannas 7 ingame cinamtics

zealous basalt

Even tyrande as she got an asspull on her

meager zodiac

meager zodiac

not realy, but it doesnt take much

to see she is being trown under the bus by the current team

and getting the villain bat, just like garrosh did

terse patrol
#

Have you ever considered

That the writers are just bad, and they think they’re giving her a good arch?

jovial coral
#

Can you die inside xalatath

night swift

meager zodiac

tthey are bad and also play favorites

#

jaina and her costant bipolar disorder is bad writting, but nothing bad ever comes to the little elsa lady

terse patrol

Saurfang is the current WoW Team favorite.

meager zodiac

and his sad orc cinematics

And considering thrall is back

Sad Orc Time.

meager zodiac

sad orcs, spineless cows

β€œH-Hey can the Alliance get a Tyrande cinema-β€œ

β€œNo, sad orcs.”

Sad Orc is sad

and lorthermar with his fucked up voice

zealous basalt

It wont' surprise me if a coup happens for the war campaign of .3

#

or heck .2.4

#

.5*

#

AND you know what is to be expected of it?

#

That the coup fails

#

Coup fails, Sylvanas does some crazy magic and Horde is all united over

meager zodiac
#

if that means saurfang dies im all for it

tropic trail
#

Sadfang is already dead. They making all this sad cinematics just to prepare the ppl for even more sadness, when he dies , also in a CGI cinematic

zealous basalt
#

CGI is Orc reserved

terse patrol
#

β€œhey, tyrande is having an extremely important moment by becoming the night warrior. can we make her a cgi cinematic, or at least a cinematic by Terran to show off this transformation?”

#

β€œnah we’re making 10 sad orc cgi cinematics.”

zealous basalt
#

take an ingame cinematic

night swift
#

β€œNo, and she loses that fight”

zealous basalt
#

...that was a hell

meager zodiac
#

tyrande is getting villified after anyways

#

there are 2 paths, ignored or villain

zealous basalt
#

I still remember when everyone was "And why does Nathanos can win"

meager zodiac
#

i prefer the first

zealous basalt
#

or a third one Yana

tropic trail
#

no CGI for tyrande, cuz she got her revenge πŸ‘€

zealous basalt
#

One i think its going to piss you and the night elf community

meager zodiac
#

i will lose my braincells if anduin is like ' no tuhrayndyu, if we fight back we are the villaainsssssssssss, you cant be evill"

night swift
#

β€œRevenge”

zealous basalt
#

"She learns from ANDUIN"

#

Like how she learned from Varian

terse patrol
#

I’m sure next expac they’re going to frame Tyrande’s wanting revenge for literal genocide as EVIL.

meager zodiac
#

yeah that is part of villainfed

zealous basalt
#

And what, Honk?

#

Remove night elves and put high elves?

meager zodiac
#

put shandris on the leadership

terse patrol
#

Nah. Just decimate night elves more.

meager zodiac
#

she is already being pacified

zealous basalt

Defanged

meager zodiac

following jaina and gen around

not killing thalyssra and lorthermar on sight

fun stuff on nazjatar

terse patrol

β€œOh, here’s the last minority of playable night elves serving Shandris. Tyrande is nuts now. Kill her and all her followers.”

meager zodiac

this is literaly mists of pandaria witout any of the good

the costumization options is to brand traitors

#

legion was all flare, not a lot of substance, but at least it was fun

zealous basalt

kek

meager zodiac

at worse legion was kinda mediocre, but this is just .... bad

bad in every way

jovial coral

Saurfang dying? By whose hand? Elune saved whom?

yea Tyrande is crazy evil now, she needs to pay for her crimes

β€œtyrande you destroyed that insignificant town. We will frame this as equivalent to teldrassil and mark you for a raid boss!!!”

I honestly prefer if the next xpac has something new

Really new

Doubt it.

meager zodiac

but im patient and young

zealous basalt

Not taking back stuff from warcraft series

meager zodiac
#

i will live enouhg for golden to leave

terse patrol
#

I suspect it’s faction war 3.0

meager zodiac
#

and the first thing the new writter does

#

is kill anduin

#

in a book

zealous basalt
#

You wish for a stupid wish, but its going to be taken on consideration

terse patrol
#

It’ll be β€œelune is angry also lich king and dragons” the expac.

zealous basalt
#

I still hope that Gelbin can come back

terse patrol
#

AKA Pandaria 2.0 with zombies and dragons.

meager zodiac
#

this was already pandaria

zealous basalt
#

...I recognize that reference Honk

terse patrol
#

More Pandaria.

meager zodiac
#

wich is even funnier

zealous basalt
#

Does it come with a super nagrand?

meager zodiac
#

how golden wrote that horrible elegy novel

#

to make everyone sad

#

and anduin is sad about the tree

#

and then tyrande is going to be avillain for wanting to do something about it

#

and the whole ass race with the black eyes to follow

zealous basalt
#

Well tbh Yana

#

stop there for a second

meager zodiac
#

the narrative was so human paladins could feel vindicated and go to lordaeron

zealous basalt
#

If we were going realistically correct

#

The tree should have never be burned considering all the protectors it could have

meager zodiac
#

draenei, worgen, wild gods, the sentinel army, tyrande, maiev

#

all of those thigns were removed by stupidity so it could be done

zealous basalt
#

Vindicar

#

Everything

meager zodiac
#

and it was all this dramatic effort to make everyone sadddd

zealous basalt
#

Like I don't know who planned it

meager zodiac
#

and i just know tyrande will want more and be treated as a villain, and anduin's point of view enforced

zealous basalt
#

I mean, if this was while we were on argus

pulsar iris
#

grabs popcorn

zealous basalt
#

i might pass it

meager zodiac
#

Anduin is probably the worst chartacther in the setting since everyone bends itself over backwards to kiss his toes

zealous basalt
#

But how can you forget that the Alliance defeats the Horde in an all out combat

meager zodiac
#

lets make him high king, but have him act like pandaria

terse patrol
#

I just want them to get rid of the Alliance and Horde entirely.

meager zodiac
#

but instead of being a decent story of 2 points of view clashing

zealous basalt
#

It would make something they don't really want

meager zodiac
#

and anduin getting consequences for being stupid

#

he just gets all over on his papper tray

#

none of his mistakes get realy on his head as his fault

zealous basalt
#

Considering he is young he could have a lot of consequences, that's something i give to you

meager zodiac
#

arathi undead fiasco is all calia and sylvanans

#

none him

#

teldrassil is all spies and tyrande and sylvannas, not him

terse patrol
#

I suspect we’re getting Calia in 8.3

meager zodiac
#

saurfang going free should be seen as a huge betrayal since he is responsible for the campaign that got the tree burned in the first place

#

no consequences

zealous basalt
#

I hope that what Porter suspected is correct

#

About dragon isles for .3

jovial coral
#

What was that lol

meager zodiac
#

nothing anduin ever does has any meaningfull consequences and everyone around him forgets his failings

#

his point of view is always right

pulsar iris
#

excuse me how could teldrassil be anduin's fault

meager zodiac
#

jaina and him pledge for peace, so everyone is also wanting peace

#

he was the one to fill ogrimmar with spies to the point only an idiot would ignore them

#

and then gave the order to prepare the assault on silithus

#

his incompetence of his state of spies is partly responsible, amongst many pieces

#

but instead of being ever brought up its ignored

#

because poor anduina

zealous basalt
#

Aaand with that last you messed it

meager zodiac
#

he needs to be saved by jaina and alleria in lordaeron

#

and no one constests this kid shouldnt be leading shit

pulsar iris
#

that makes no sense at all, and in the cinematic he says "you lighted the torch to teldrassil, but i failed those who burned" admiting some kind of non existing fault

meager zodiac
#

there is a difrence betwen admiting and having actual consequences

zealous basalt
#

I'm just going to pass over the current discussion and just ask something different

meager zodiac
#

that string of bad moves should make other leaders want him out of power

zealous basalt
#

...Can we get Legendary effects already on PTR?

meager zodiac
#

push him away from leadership

pulsar iris
#

the consequences isn't tyrande going rogue to kill the horde?

#

"i don't care about your war, i'll go kill MY OWN ENEMY"

terse patrol
#

alliance has space ship with army moving teleporters

meager zodiac
#

wich doesnt particulary affect anduin? he should have had at least people pushing for him to be killed off

#

or taken away from power

terse patrol
#

β€œwe didnt want to include it in the story cause thats not the story we wanted to tell”

meager zodiac
#

turalyon, alleria, genn, tyrande, moira and muradin would all be pushing their own agendas and ignoring anduin

terse patrol
#

didnt use space ship to evacuate teldrassil

pulsar iris
#

not having an army of nelves does not affect the leader of the faction

terse patrol
#

or even wipe out the Horde army

meager zodiac
#

nelves still show up for his planned asault on zuldazar

#

shandris still helps

pulsar iris
#

the spaceships aren't out of power?

terse patrol

No.

It just isn’t as powerful as people think, and isn’t a very good offensive tool

zealous basalt

And evacuate Teldrassil.

man it sucks to like night elves jesus

It sucks to suck

at this point im waiting for nightborne to also become the true chosen of elune or something else

terse patrol
#

Night Elves have been Blizzard’s punching bag post WC3.

#

Somebody with pull on the writing team hates Nelves.

meager zodiac
#

except when its time to put them on covers and merch

#

then they love them

zealous basalt
#

thats because humans master race

smoky mural
#

it's likely alex

meager zodiac
#

nelves are amazing for visual iconic value

#

but for anything good in game? nah

pulsar iris
#

nelves will never reach the true human potential

terse patrol
#

Ion is a huge Hordie from what I know from someone who was in his guild.

pulsar iris
#

ofc because they are not humans

smoky mural

but ion isn't story

Nelves only exist in warcraft for two purpose

and hug trees not?

meager zodiac

and does it badly imo

bfa is a complete disaster

terse patrol
#

Anything Ion says goes.

#

Story team answers to him ultimately.

zealous basalt
#

Thing is

smoky mural
#

ion is just the face of wow

zealous basalt
#

Ion isn't good with story, his strong area is raid mechanics

meager zodiac
#

i mean what went okay in this expac? the leveling, the battle of dazar alor as a fun raid

terse patrol
#

You see how adamant he is against helves for instance.

meager zodiac

and mechagon

everything else was a massive flop

smoky mural

helfs thing is a real doe

pulsar iris
#

when they release solo island expeditions this will be fun

zealous basalt
#

I don't think how you can become a game director in blizzard but

#

didn't metzen have a better reception in the story areas?

smoky mural
#

have the heroic warfronts come out yet

#

yes

#

but he left

zealous basalt
#

Because he was a member of the story part, right?

smoky mural
#

yes

terse patrol
#

No, because he openly put his input into the story.

#

He ran the game.

#

Thus the story too

pulsar iris
#

one person ran the whole game? oh damn

zealous basalt
#

...honk that was your least brillant moment

smoky mural
#

alex runs the story

zealous basalt
#

What I meant is

pulsar iris
#

honkhonk

smoky mural
#

golden and alex

#

not ion

zealous basalt
#

So far I don't think Ion really can pull a good story because he wasn't meant for the story part

terse patrol
#

The writing team still answers to the director?

pulsar iris
#

i would believe ion respects the work of other sectors of the game development

zealous basalt
#

The raid design areas...

#

however

#

i can say he does a good job designing the raids

#

Also 'answering' doesn't mean actually saying 'write this shit in and out'

#

if that was the case the story of Legion and BfA would have the same level of medocrity with WoD

terse patrol
#

Either way, Ion likely has the final say on major additions like allied races or other content.

#

Which heavily affects story.

zealous basalt
#

Considering how nervous he gets (imo) in every stream he is...I think that is his weakness, the part about deciding

#

Can't really blame him with a community that has that vibe of being full of psychopaths that will kill you the moment they have the chance just for a bad choice

That’s not bad though

zealous basalt

is it better than argus?

dense plover

Yes

There’s more WQs to start

And there are side quests across the zone

they locked WQ to a certain point in the nazjatar campaign

is it good?

#

25 is a good amount

I hope the nazjatar ones are always 25, and not randomly gold or AP

dense plover

my guess is its always 25

plus the additional 400AP

ill keep looking for other changes

theres lots of little things

requesition quests have been moved to various related npcs

zealous basalt

so

how do you normally go to Naz?

unlocking a new power is fancy af

#

think they still exist

#

theyre being reimplemented differently

#

its a mix of ranking up and random

heart upgrade is now WAY more detailed

#

quest, quest giver, location, heart level, as well as changes to the major and minor power

i hope its cheaper
