#

Because they added some stuff in the last patch to make the holdover better

#

Allied races and the level revamp

terse patrol
#

Pre patch is usually 2 weeks long I think

dense plover
#

We might expect something similar with 8.3.5

#

And it might last closer to 8 months

#

In which case the very latest I see 9.0 is mid October

#

2020

plain vigil
#

Well again, the gap between 7.3 and 8.0 was a full year almost. It was supposed to be longer than that

dense plover
#

How long between 7.3.5 and 8.0?

plain vigil
#

16 of Jan Soooo 7 months

dense plover
#

Yeah

#

So assuming they release 8.0 mid November, expac release in sept or oct isn’t out of the question

#

IMO December is probably too long assuming the last raid is in December

#

A year from the last raid is too long

#

10 months is still a lot but it’s not as bad

plain vigil
#

Christmas releases are successful too. We could see the X-Pac release in October, but I would estimate after blizzcon 2020

dense plover
#

Nah

#

That’s a waste

plain vigil
#

Probably November like WoD

dense plover
#

If they talk about 9.0 at this Blizzcon then Blizzcon 2020 is best spent on the upcoming content

plain vigil
#

Well I'm going off of the time between legion and BFA, and you see how well BFA went at launch 😂

dense plover
#

IE patch 9.1 and 9.1.5

#

They don’t do the same expac at Blizzcon twice

#

Not if they can avoid it

#

cough WoD cough

plain vigil
#

8.1 was released in December so like 5 months. Honestly they could just go into more detail on things in the Xpac. I'm only expecting small details for this blizzcon. Hell we may even only get 8.3 announcement now that I think about how tight they've been keeping patch Spoilers

dense plover
#

Btw, someone ping me when servers go down - I’m about to start work so I won’t be able to watch

plain vigil
#

I solomly swear I will not ping you if the servers are still up. 😃

dense plover
#

I mean, didn’t they show the sargeras cinematic before the raid?

#

It’s not unheard of

plain vigil
#

Nope

#

They did not

dense plover
#

I thought they did

#

Huh

#

it’s all guessing at this point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

plain vigil
#

Wowheads upload was Nov 28th, almost a month after blizzcon

#

Which is the same day as that raid's release

dense plover
#

What was the wow panel at that Blizzcon?

plain vigil
#

BFA

#

Wait

#

Whoa

#

This is like a matrix moment

dense plover
#

Btw just confirming that the build is almost definitely today - muffinus replied to the T&E video about the ptr on Twitter with this emoji 😇

storm marsh
#

Cant wait for tonight

Man

storm marsh
#

Gilneas will rise again

#

Greymane will lead us to victory

yess

zealous basalt
#

Inb4 new starting deaths

ionic terrace
plain vigil
#

Welp... Time to play my worgen again

#

98-120 can't be too slow

storm marsh
#

Something under your cloak smells heavenly

zealous basalt
#

Heavenly?

#

Like the legendary cloaks

#

Imagine having an item that gives ilvl increases to old legendaries

languid yoke
#

98-120 with party sync might be bearable

#

and about muffinus: To be fair, they talked about him in the weekly reset

#

about how mischievous he is

plain vigil

'''After the events of Legion, the World Soul of Azeroth is dying and its essence is bleeding to the surface. This new resource, called Azerite, feeds your medallion and lets you unlock latent properties hidden in the armor you'll be finding on the high seas. The more powerful your amulet, the more powerful bonuses you can unlock in your armor. "The Heart of Azeroth is the focal point of your character's progression throughout the expansion," said senior game designer Jeremy Feasel.

So they did announce BFA, but they didn't explain why Azeroth was bleeding @dense plover

dense plover
#

Tbh bare minimum we should expect new login screens for worgen and goblin and ideally some polish on their starting zones

plain vigil
#

That was from an article about BFA's announcement

dense plover
#

Both, especially gilneas, are a bit buggy

languid yoke
#

gilneas battle quest bugs more with every xpac

#

sometimes it gets minor fixes

#

then it breaks again

dense plover
#

And assuming that the heritage quests will take us back, there’s no reason not to use some updated assets for polish purposes

#

Especially since new models means more people starting new gobs and worgen

languid yoke
#

you know what's worse? You can't exit Gilneas anymore by walking to the edge between Gilneas and Silverpine Forest and teleport to Westfall

#

because you'll get ported back to the starting area instead

dense plover
#

I imagine the starting experience will see a lot of fixes this patch since people will be testing the new models and how they break old cinematics

zealous basalt
#

AHAHAHA

languid yoke
#

yeah

zealous basalt
#

I mean

#

So sad

languid yoke
#

I wish they would, at least

plain vigil
#

@zealous basalt interesting concept. I think it'd be a bit broken. But what if, counter idea, they bring back all the real legendaries, and maybe 1 per class from legion, and revamp them to fit today's mechanics? Like thunderfury

languid yoke
#

and then add worgen monks

uncut lintel
#

plz

storm marsh
#

Well that would be a pleasant surprise

plain vigil
#

Worgen monks and DK's

#

Wait

zealous basalt
#

Dah

languid yoke
#

we have DKs

plain vigil
#

Ik that was a joke about Zandalari Mag'har KulTiran and Dark iron

dense plover
#

We won’t see any new class combos mid expac

languid yoke
#

yeah ik, it's wishful thinking. Even for 9.0 it's only wishful thinking

plain vigil
#

There's really no reason they shouldn't have DK lorewise. But as we saw from islands, they'll be coming 9.0 or later

dense plover
#

But with updated models, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them next expac

#

They’ve held off BECAUSE of how broken they are

plain vigil
#

I just realized new DK customization for gobbos and worgen

uncut lintel
#

when the new worgen and goblins would they give us free appearence changes or somthing

#

to change ur look

dense plover
#

Barber

storm marsh
#

I wonder if they're gonna fix that worgen female DK bug with faces

plain vigil
#

Question is... Will they be Allied race quality or Wod quality?

zealous basalt
#

Ye

languid yoke
#

Worgen/Goblin monk animations don't even look that bad

uncut lintel
#

barber has all the options???

dense plover
#

You can do all of that at the border

#

Barber

#

Yes

languid yoke
#

They look quite good, actually

uncut lintel
#

oh

plain vigil
#

All but gender

uncut lintel
#

dint know that

languid yoke
#

except for flying serpent kick

#

flying serpent kick is awful on worgen

dense plover
#

Worgen monk makes no sense

storm marsh
#

Their animations are also getting updated

dense plover
#

They can’t control their emotions in combat

#

That’s the opposite of monk

storm marsh
#

Alongside the flying serpent kick haha

plain vigil
#

No You make no sense 😭

agile token
storm marsh
#

Good boy gen

uncut lintel
#

HOOOT

restive pasture
#

Worgen monks would be Sha food in combat

storm marsh
#

Genn*

plain vigil
#

Hmmm peach has a point

languid yoke
#

mh I still think the ways of monk could help the internal human/worgen conflict in battle and fight in a less feral manner

plain vigil
#

Tbh tho kinda surprised they haven't given us Pandaren monks yet

zealous basalt
#

And how does void elf monk work

plain vigil
#

Also a good point Makore

agile token
#

I am just wondering if we will focus on pandaren and something else in 8.3

plain vigil
#

Although I'd argue the velf idea is that they're constantly trying to keep control, which is in line with monka

agile token
#

after all blizzard said we are getting to see all sides of the war

languid yoke
#

the only reason worgen and goblins didn't get monk was "tHeY nEvEr MeT pAnDaReN"

uncut lintel
#

i want earrings for worgen

languid yoke
#

fast-forward to Legion and apparently 1 month of training is enough to make nightborne, velfs and HMT monks

#

same with bfa AR

uncut lintel
#

i love nightborne monks

languid yoke
#

I hate nightborne monks

zealous basalt
#

And my human spent 18 years to even master it

uncut lintel
#

o

storm marsh
#

Of all things I'm mostly interested in colorful glowy eyes for female worgen that they promised. Wondering how is that going work out.. seperate customization?

night swift
#

Then theres zanda monks

dark furnace
#

Probably same as Night Elf eyes

uncut lintel
#

i hope seperate..cuz i dont want glowy eyes on my fem worgen

dense plover
#

Void elves aren’t succumbing to emotions

languid yoke
#

I want my unglowy eyes for some male worgen

uncut lintel
#

looks alot prettier with regular eyes

dense plover
#

They are using the void

night swift
#

You know, the race that pandas made the monk fighting style to combat

dense plover
#

It’s not the same

plain vigil
#

Yeah, all sides of the war except Pandaren

dense plover
#

Yeah

#

I’m still pissed about Zandalari monks

languid yoke
#

you could argue that monk traditions can help a worgen be more peaceful

dense plover
#

That shouldn’t have happened

languid yoke
#

opposite was never proven, was it

#

Zandalari monks are lul

dense plover
#

To be a monk you need inner peace

zealous basalt
#

Eh

dense plover
#

Worgen literally give that away in exchange for control of their curse

zealous basalt
#

I thought Mogu were the ones that made pandas become monks

languid yoke
#

Inner peace?

#

You mean like Taran Zhu?

#

🙂

#

(you don't need perfect balance of inner peace)

plain vigil
#

Peach can't Zandalari be monks tho?

languid yoke
#

(clearly)

#

they can, which is dumb

#

and they can't be warlocks, which is also dumb

#

hardly any AR can be warlocks for w/e reason

#

there's more druid AR than warlocks

zealous basalt
#

Because they are op

#

And they need

#

Balance

languid yoke
#

OUT

#

:(

zealous basalt
#

Which is why there are druid ARs

#

dabs

languid yoke
plain vigil
#

It's okay! ~~Everyone will be able to play necromancer class skin for warlock next Xpac ~~

languid yoke
#

fuck necromancers, d3 should've gotten druids instead of witch doctor clone

#

that class is dead to me for all games now

agile token
#

Ok but guys what is important here, we are going back to gilneas for the worgen heritage armor right...

languid yoke
#

hopefully

#

we don't know yet

umbral lake
#

Well at the very least zandalari have been to pandaria before and some might’ve picked up some monk stuff

languid yoke
#

but if we don't there will be rabid furries at blizzard HQ

#

including me.-

plain vigil
#

Or we take back Lordaeron

agile token
#

Hell no

zealous basalt
#

Why not

agile token
#

It makes sense to move from stromgarde up to gilneas

languid yoke
#

yeah but zandalari and pandas didn't really have a peaceful history with each other

zealous basalt
#

Stromgarde>Hillsbrad>Gilneas>Lordaeron

plain vigil
#

Gilneas geographically is very unstable. Having them resettle in silverpine and tyrisfall makes sense

agile token
#

Gilneas isn't a complete ruined city with blight

plain vigil
#

New Gilneas

#

Not Yet okay I'll stop

umbral lake
#

Still you can learn about the monk stuff even if you’re not friendly, maybe study under one of the celestial as they would have been considered loa

storm marsh
#

Revamped Gilneas would be nice, but will probably never happen

#

Watch Sylvanas bring back Liam Greymane haha

dense plover
#

I don’t think gilneas will be revamped with this

#

But I wouldn’t be surprised if they update some stuff while they fix it

storm marsh
#

Yea

zealous basalt
#

Its a good place to Rp tho

agile token
#

If it was inhabited

#

By new player model heritage armor worgens

why not too fat

i regret everything

Because

uncut lintel

well im just happy worgens are getting an update....ive loved them for so long but hated their models that i rarely played them

zealous basalt

No you

oh ok

Beta/alpha cataclysm hairstyles were better

I want the new goblin models so they don’t look like meth addicts.

zealous basalt
#

are still up

agile token
#

Goblins will be meth addicts more than ever before after BFA

dull flame
#

😹 not coming today it seems 😛

agile token
#

They re-discovered/realized Kaja'mite this expansion, this isn't talked about much

terse patrol
#

Eh, half the goblin females look like Faces of Meth. They have clearer complexions now.

#

Unless they redid them since Blizzcon.

agile token
#

Even matthias shaw says they will outsmart the gnomes soon

languid yoke
#

blizz only really started working like 30 minutes ago

#

please

terse patrol
#

Still hate that they gave gnomes bags under their eyes.

agile token
#

Now is the time to start playing goblin

dark furnace
#

Goblin master race

languid yoke
#

thank god the worgen/goblin preview didn't have them become depressive

agile token
#

They have all the azerite in the world and they will become smart AF again with Kaja'mite after BFA

languid yoke
#

so we don't have to fear that happening to them

terse patrol
#

Dark Irons I think canonically take the Motherlode though

#

So I think the Dark Irons are in a strong position

zealous basalt
#

Dark irons can dig anything

obtuse vine
#

Yeah, then can even dig to another planets xd

agile token
#

Yo I bet the digging to china joke is an even stronger joke on azeroth

zealous basalt
#

China would be orgrimmar

obtuse vine
#

They can even dig to alternative draenor

agile token
#

No no

#

China would be to outland

zealous basalt
#

They dig below the dark portal

terse patrol
#

Tbh Dark Irons give the Alliance crazy siege utility

#

“lol walls ok cool”

languid yoke
#

DID do. LFD do. Guess what we're not using

#

Or, guess what we're solely using. Yes, ships! Tons of ships! NOTHING ELSE BUT SHIPS

terse patrol
#

Naval warfare should be obsolete now

languid yoke
#

because why would we go through the ground or through the sky with powerful machinery when you can just get a ship and have the ship be sunken every time you do literally ANYTHING

#

looks at BoD

obtuse vine
#

If they can dig to alternate draenor lore wise they can dig to any other planet and in any time. Holy shit they are better than bronze dragons

languid yoke
#

looks at Nazjatar

looks MoP

0-3 hours remaining

dense plover
#

Uh more like 4-5 hours

#

3-4

#

Sorry

#

2-3pm is best bet unless the servers go down before 1

#

If they go down before 1, 1-2

uncut lintel
#

if they do go down, how long will it take for them to be back up

#

with the patch

zealous basalt
#

A long time

uncut lintel
#

rip

dense plover
#

A couple of hours

#

Depends on the patch size

uncut lintel
#

ah ok thx

dense plover
#

Maybe more

#

If the deploy succeeds

sullen dawn
#

datamining doesnt require server to be back up tho right?

dense plover
#

No

sullen dawn
#

it just needs patch data

dense plover
#

It just requires the patch

sullen dawn
#

yeh grand

#

cheers

dense plover
#

Within 30 min of the patch going out, datamining will be happening

sullen dawn
#

awesomesauce

dense plover
#

But goblin and worgen models will probably take some time

#

Processing animations is hard

sullen dawn
#

not too concerned about them

#

seen them already and i know i like them

dense plover
#

Music, map files, maybe some other stuff

#

Music probably won’t be in this build tho

sullen dawn
#

voiceovers? quest strings?

dense plover
#

Text of voice overs and the strings yeah

#

VO probably won’t all be in

terse patrol
#

hanos I wanna see the heritage armor.

dense plover
#

Maybe a third of it if we are lucky

stiff vector
#

quest strings not yet usually

#

server has to be up for those

dense plover
#

The heritage armor won’t be done

#

Oh I meant like - the quest text

#

I thought those were in the files?

#

Are they server side!

#

?

stiff vector
#

as far as i know most are yeah

#

technically most of the non content-files database information can be

#

they don't have to ship those to client neccesarily

#

can just feed client with hotfixes when you grab the quest

#

one of the easier ways for them to make it more annoying for us 😛

#

text of voice overs is also serverside

#

the good stuff at least

dense plover
#

Wait but I’ve seen the text of npcs and stuff in files before

#

Like right when the build goes up on your site

stiff vector
#

yeah there's an offline broadcasttext db

#

but a lot of it is filled in by server when you request it

dense plover
#

Ah ok

#

So that’s why you get partial dialogue

stiff vector
#

some stuff it won't send you either unless you're on a specific quest or something i think

dense plover
#

Huh

#

Well either way there should be some good stuff in this first build without the servers

#

And more with it

stiff vector
#

yeah unless it's all encrypted

#

then yeah

dense plover
#

I hope not

#

I don’t think they would do that to everything

#

Just the secret stuff

stiff vector
#

overwatch gets away with it 😄

sullen dawn
#

overwatch has no story 😛

stiff vector
#

oof

zealous basalt
#

Rekt

stiff vector
#

by that logic all of wow definitely has to be encrypted then 😛

#

because all of overwatch is

ionic terrace
#

Encrypt me

dense plover
#

Overwatch is encrypted to attempt to halt cheating

#

Probably

#

Maybe

tropic trail
#

i already want to see the new AV mounts..

zealous basalt
#

Like in game?

tropic trail
#

who are you asking that, Makore?

stiff vector
#

nah @dense plover also against mining/leaks

zealous basalt
#

If you are meaning that you want to see the mounts in game

stiff vector
#

the overwatch dataminers got told off a bit for mining PTR

#

so they just mine retail now

ionic terrace
#

This person on the forums saying next weekend for PTR is wishful thinking LUL

#

They are in for a surprise

uncut lintel
#

new AV mounts?

stiff vector
#

i mean it could be if something comes up

#

wouldn't be the first time

tropic trail
#

yes i want to see them ingame

ionic terrace
#

FeelsSadMan please no

tropic trail
#

@uncut lintel ^

uncut lintel
#

oooooooo

tropic trail
#

i wonder how much currency the mount will cost

zealous basalt
#

I suppose 5

tropic trail
#

so that would be maybe doing it 5 times

#

if it costs 5 thats

terse patrol
#

We need an Alterac Valley revamp.

tropic trail
#

i agree ^

unborn glacier
#

And it needs to go back to its old style of play

#

Where it takes hours of play to complete

zealous basalt
#

Like Original Ashran?

#

That has the epic bg version and the brawl

#

.

#

?

tropic trail
#

im guessing like they did with Warsong & Arathi Basin

dense plover
#

Battle charger is gonna be a ram based off the dark iron Paladin model

#

And the wolf is gonna be a white version of the Maghar wolf

#

But

#

Hopefully this will be the opportunity for them to update the ram and wolf models

#

Both of which are pretty much just porter WC3 models

#

Porter

#

Ported

#

Motherfucking autocorrect

deft carbon
#

yeah that's would be nice

dense plover
#

Those WC3 models gotta go

tropic trail
#

so the Battle Charger thats ingame already with armor like Dark Iron/Dwarf Pally mount? or something like that?

deft carbon
#

mew mount models for drarf paladins are so cool

terse patrol
#

I hope the battle charger is red.

#

Because if its YET ANOTHER gold and blue mount

#

Ugh

tropic trail
#

it should be white with red

deft carbon
terse patrol
#

Stormpike colors are red and gold. So the armor should be red and gold.

#

But recent Blizzard designs have been braindead Alliance/Horde color schemes.

tropic trail
#

it better not be blue and gold

#

lol

dense plover
#

It’s likely a direct reskin of the old AV mount

#

That’s why I’m saying they might finally update the rams and wolves, two of some of the oldest models left in the game

terse patrol
#

pls

dense plover
#

Then they just gotta update the giraffes and Gnolls and that’s pretty much it

tropic trail
dense plover
#

Probably even newer

terse patrol
#

Though, they updated nightsabers yet didn’t update the vanilla nelf models.

dense plover
#

Look at the updated pally mount

#

Well they haven’t updated the old mounts

#

Are the in world ones updated?

terse patrol
#

Ye. In Darkshore at least.

#

idk about elsewhere

dense plover
#

They won’t update the old mounts unless they are sure they captured its essence

#

Like with kodos

#

Where it’s a direct upgrade and it’s perfect

#

It’s the reason we haven’t gotten gnolls

#

They need it to be perfect

tropic trail
#

something like that one?

dense plover
#

Yeah that guy

ionic terrace
#

Servers still up btw 😛

dense plover
#

That’s 100% gonna be the base model they use

ionic terrace
#

in case anyone was wondering

tropic trail
#

but need way less armor lol

dense plover
#

It’s still very early

tropic trail
#

Yes peach ik

Wait 1-3 hours

Today is very likely

Already on it 😛

tropic trail
#

Lol

uncut lintel
#

ping me if they go down

#

ill be on allll day

storm marsh
#

I bet the gnolls will get updated in next expansion and they will be active at quest zones

terse patrol
#

If they redid Alterac Valley, they’d have to redo gnolls.

#

Since gnolls are npc mobs in AV.

didnt they already

Gnolls?

Nope

with our powers combined it'll be released

Probably around 1 or 2pm like expected

zealous basalt

Its 1pm for me

That’s Blizz time

do u need wow time to play ptr?

yes

my wow time ends in like 1 hour and idk if money

dense plover

No

No you don’t

uncut lintel

oh

But you’ll probably want to hop on and copy your characters you want to test

Dunno how that works when unsigned

Unsubbed

uncut lintel

it wont reset characters?

like when patch comes

dense plover

uncut lintel

ah

thank

agile token
#

hmm

stiff vector
#

soo no maintenace yet

#

and no vendor maintenance yesterday

#

[x] mild worry

hasty elbow
#

😦

dense plover
#

I wouldn’t

#

It’s early

#

And they don’t need vendor maintenance if the build they’re pushing is the same

#

Also this wouldn’t be the first time ptr shut down right before the build

#

That’s pretty common

stiff vector
#

i mean they need PTR maintenance

#

vendor servers are separate

#

though i guess theoretically they could have a/b'd it

dense plover
#

Yeah but like - if they’re gonna bring em down later, why do maintenance before

#

Why not do it at the same time

stiff vector
#

because thats what they always do

dense plover
#

Or why bother - you’re putting out a new build

#

They can take them down before the build goes out

#

Then do what they do for the next few hours

#

Vol jin i think is next expansion (if death focused)

Sylvanas will be big in 8.3, maybe well get somethjng 8.2.5 but could go either way

I mean its not that unusual. Big bads always get focus at start and end of expansion, not so much middle

Im sure the question who whispered to make Sylvanas warchief will be revealed in BfA

so Voljin questline will 100% continue at the latest in 8.3

The party sync?

#

Yeah, I think it's going to come out bugged as hell

I find it surprising that they added it in a .5 patch and not as an exp feature

upper remnant

It could be the first step for something next expac

#

For instance, party sync would allow for a world revamp without the problems of Cataclysm if done well

plain vigil

The tweet could have been talking about the weekly reset/chest day

dense plover
#

That doesn’t even make sense

indigo laurel
#

I don't think that syncing would be necessary for a world-revamp (I would even think it would probably be the worse solution). Developing the world through changing the zone at the appropriate level/timing and making the old content available via the already available Bronze_Dragon stuff seems so much better

night swift
#

I think it would be cool for wow to have a level sync feature and see older dungeons at level rather than just, go in at max and one shot it all

The one they’re showing off seems to only work if you have a person at that dungeons level

Unless you want hair clipping it isn’t

Model designers make the model then they have to make sure it works then it has to get colored 12 ways to Sunday and add shaders

i like some of those hair styles

We could see new hairstyles tho since the old ones will receive fidelity updates

Scrapping the original female worgen model was an atrocity.

Tbf adding just new hair colors is probably really easy

dense plover

Colors might be

#

But I doubt that in regards to new styles

#

And again, they weren’t gonna update a model they planned to update with new hairstyles

storm marsh
#

Those hairstyles I sent were really exciting back in 2010

#

And all of the current hairstyles are clipping trough any head item and that wouldnt be the case for the ones above. I wonder what made them change their mind

dense plover
#

Probably because as they were making the models they were starting to discuss WoD - they think 2 expacs ahead

#

And thought they would be able to include these 2 in the model redo

#

And they didn’t have time

#

I mean the model redo almost certainly is what killed WoD

storm marsh
#

I agree

dense plover
#

It’s why it’s taken so long

#

They had the newest models next to pandaren

#

So they decided to not update them in an attempt to save the expac

#

Didn’t really work

#

It’s why they are now a patch feature

I still think they will re-do the existing ugly worgen hair and leave us without many options again

I still think Arathi needed a setup cinematic or questline. Or both.

We know Stromgarde was Horde aggression. It was controlled by the Alliance in Before the Storm.

So a cinematic with Turalyon and Danath meeting again in Stromgarde Keep would have been cool, and ending with a Horde war horn being blown as they arrive to build their fortress.

Nonono porter. The alliance isn't invading, it would be a civil war based on the current story. Horde and alliance helping Lorthemar against a rise up. Other option, alliance and horde swap off helping Lorthemar, with NPC opposing faction help, Maybe even an additional Warfront to swap off between

Honestly though. I could see 8.3 being civil war themed

#

Genn and Tyrande vs Anduin and Jaina, Belfs and Sylvanas vs Saurfang and Lorthemar

Im fine with civil war stuff so long as it isnt

"lorthemar supports the alliance in the rebellion in claiming quelthalas against his own people"

I think

#

it would be more of

#

Tyrande vs Anduin and Genn

What if Mulgore was Sylvanas’ Horde vs Thralls Horde/Anduin’s Alliance, and Quel’Thalas was Tyrande’s Alliance vs Thrall’s Horde/Anduin’s Alliance? 🤔

I just realised that in the past all of the expansions we got a new class in were decent expansion, wrath, mop and legion, and we will most likely get one next expansion so 10.0 could be a fairly decent imo
