Yeh neutral evil with a dash of lawful evil
Bruh. Evil implies she's doing these things because she knows they're evil
no it doesn't
Characters tagged 'evil' are almost always moustache-twirlers
Chaotic Evil was Grom imo. Again, chaotic evil doesnt mean evil for the sake of it.
Sylvanas is, will, and always has acted for her own good
maybe in the worst stories ever
yep, as I said before, Sylvanas is a neutral evil Character. She does evil stuff because its necessary for her and her people. Doing evil stuff because you want to survive is absolutely not chaotic evil
yes
or rather a very selfious one (forsaken above all else)
I E wrathgate, The human head farms, burning of Teldrassil, random rage fits. All chaotic evil things that Sylvanas has done. And there's much... Much more. Like the plaugeing of Gilneas.
they're weren't chaotic tho
Raising of the horde and alliance dead on battle of Lordaeron? Chaotic.
she wanted to defeat gilneas while losing as few undead as possible
she had a resource in order to push the alliance and she used it.
Wrathgate was not Sylvanas doing, this was also confirmed in Before the Storm again, pls let not start this discussion again
She still chose to invade gilnease without need.
now I would say that neutral evil is evil for evil's sake
that makes sylvanas chaotic neutral
even if she did wrathgate, she did it so she could a) take a swing at arthas and b) weed out the unloyal undead
My bad tilted on the one wrathgate point
another definition of neutral evil is furthering one's own goals before any other, with no qualms about what needs done for it
which seems to be what you're all pushing
@plain vigil I feel you, my friend, are lacking on some lore parts
yes emu we are
Sylvanas never invaded Gilneas in the first place, it was Garrosh who used her forsaken while she did suicide
so honestly it's either chaotic neutral or neutral evil, depending on one's definitions of evil. Both are correct.
hang on lemme just bold that to end the discussion
And Garrosh wanted Gilneas, Sylvanas had no choice to lead the attack
It literally depends on one's definition of evil
otherwise Garrosh just sacrificed the forsaken there
There's two
Garrosh didn't want Gilneas, he wanted more troops. She saw it as an opportunity to make more undead Tilted
you're saying evil is people who do evil and they know it
i don't believe that's true, unless you're a terrible writer
That is one of the accepted D&D definitions of evil
Which you're all citing with lawful good lawful evil etc etc
not YOU btw, i mean you in the third person sense 😛
ik ik
I can quote edge of night if you want, Garrosh was the one who attacked GIlneas while Sylvanas were still in Icecrown
yeh garrosh ordered gilneas
lemme do some cites real quick just so everyone's on same page
'A chaotic neutral character is an individualist who follows their own heart and generally shirks rules and traditions. Although chaotic neutral characters promote the ideals of freedom, it is their own freedom that comes first; good and evil come second to their need to be free'
'A neutral evil character is typically selfish and has no qualms about turning on allies-of-the-moment, and usually makes allies primarily to further their own goals.[9] A neutral evil character has no compunctions about harming others to get what they want, but neither will they go out of their way to cause carnage or mayhem when they see no direct benefit for themselves. Another valid interpretation of neutral evil holds up evil as an ideal, doing evil for evil's sake and trying to spread its influence.[9] Examples of the first type are an assassin who has little regard for formal laws but does not needlessly kill, a henchman who plots behind their superior's back, or a mercenary who readily switches sides if made a better offer. An example of the second type would be a masked killer who strikes only for the sake of causing fear and distrust in the community'
Bruh these books are so inconcistant than what we see in game 😅
I agree
honestly the day book writers and game writers communicate will be momentous
thats what blizzard did since ever. You see not much ingame, most important stuff happens in the novel
most important stuff for a character*
Sylvanas legitimately aiding against the Legion as well as also doing as she do now kinda says more chaotic neutral by that definition to me
She does whatever
If it favours her
the books are canon tho Gandem
i dont think she is bringing destruction and raising everything as undead just because
you can't just say they don't count
we still dont know her deal with helya
the problem is
they do count
AND they're bizarre
@flint meteor i'm beginning to doubt that blizzard did tbqh
by her lines she doing it for a reason
I'd like to think they think at least one expansion ahead
a big one
Bruh I think they think one expac ahead but if they have a nice idea for the now they fly with it and think later
Sometimes it works
We really need a lore channel
In times of no ptr this is the lore channel
Just rename the place
ptr-lore-spoilers
ez
or
Lol I suppose
'danger-zone'
I mean am I wrong, when there's no ptr lore is the only thing ppl talk about here
no
I personally only come here for ptr stuff but yee
haha yea I see this as the lore channel too, when we dont have any PTR activity
😉
WORGENNSSS
I feel like a lot of people read the “bulwark against the infinite” quote very out of context
She wasn’t talking about them as meat shields
The whole story she DOES talk about using them as meat shields, with the “arrows in my quiver” line
And then when she sees hell, and sees the forsaken dying because of Garrosh’s campaigns, she returns
Them being her bulwark means that she hold them close to her and values them, and in turn they shield her against dying
Contrary to popular belief, a character can have noble intents and also have selfish ones
what we all talking aboout now?
@uncut vault Very true.
That's hard facts @uncut vault
I just want allied race news
💛 those eyes! (screenshot from youtube)
I hope they get more than just gold, but the ones they have so far look very nice
inb4 females gets 5 new faces during ptr because boob gender, to no one's surprise
😄 as femalio worgen player i wouldnt mind more tits and faces
they didint rly fix up that ugly round bra
nah give us more male options to balance it out a little bit, thanks
more than 5 skin colors
all white fur, please
I hope once blizz will make more scars for all races. Or a scar option for customization
I hope they don't so we have something unique for male worgen
if we don't get more options, at least have us this unique one
Every worgen was bitten but we haven't any scar on hands or body
😄 its not a vampire
PTR still off come on
ptr wont come on , on a weekend. Its gonna be monday or tuesday
Next build probably
Btw i hope that face on the pic above is a bug because eye pupils arent visible on male worgen
And i hope for more colors
@storm marsh imo eye pupils looks good on female models .-.
I dk.. its just first impression
yes
where can i see them?

Female got new omni and direct spell "ready" animations
some producer said at the china thing (how ever it is called) that Sylvanas is not going to die. Not a big news, but nice to hear it once more
Yea
I want to kill Genn too, but Im a smart person and know that my feelings are my feelings, and that objectively genn is a good character
woah
storywise
they look so much better
i want a worgen now
does this mean i have to play alliance
yes

dw with 9.0 factions will be gone anyway 
one can dream
i would like that
because it means i could finally decide what to play
because i want to play both factions
The faction icon is not fake, but im 100% its just cosmetic
Choosing faction on any race would be ridiculous
I would not bet on that "the factions will go" thing
they just added the faction on the login they aren't going to remove them
What are you talking about? Faction on login?

according to this in a china event they said sylvanas won't die
TiltedElf already shared that link a bit earlier
Is there a translation?
Google translate
Well, I forget his name, but that picture is of a legit blizzard employee
He’s done multiple blizzcon panels in the past
Gregory port
Nah that isn’t Terran
it was said by John hight, and how people told me, he is like on of the biggest bois in blizzard or something
just wondering the context is all 😛

same, so excited to try the new model and animations on my worgen
there sooo good
ptr still not up, right?
Tomorrow
No pls
miracle builds
could be any time up to friday, and while i think it is tomorrow, dont get your hopes too high
not saying its 100% not today but mondays are unlikely unless they fix something today that they didnt have time for on fri
if it planned, today is out of the question most likely
Are PTRs up? I just got a notification from my monitoring system that they were
Give me a second and I’ll check

whuuuuuuuuuuut
do i have to repeat myself in caps
yes pls

i feel like i could have added 👏 emojis too
lmao
yea, you should
nope.
no
wanna see if party sync scales down all the way to 1
worgen or rust
yes its up
i added a clap emojis but sadly the bot ruined it
lol
AHHHHH WORGENS
check quests but i don't found anything
no new dialogue? 😦
not sure @tropic trail
looks like we have to wait for second buiild
Is very nice
wowhead probably hasnt scanned yet
NZOTH
they came up about the same minute i sent the initial message
@zealous basalt nzoth?
First things first
quests now like IDs
Go back to Boralus and do magni questline
lol
hii
[insert "hi mom i'm on tv"]
Okay im going to do this wrathion questline and then go with worgens
so far they look sick af tho
the new running animation for males is great
@zealous basalt how?
ikr
how u take this quest with wrathion
Realms are up?!?
Its early in the morning at blizzard HQ
thanks i found
goblins so good too
female goblin faces are broken
they look so cute oml
someone check worgen-goblin quest
o god
looks fine to me
crap
works on azerite lvl 57 atleast
Eye ssee
OOO
Is there anything new that wasnt datamined/showcased?
Yes
I think
this time datamine wasn't that effective
or everything was really encripted
hl again when you are done with the wrathion questline
or did you wanna raid gilneas alone
am i glad i copied a mage
There is a change
can do this questline in a jiffy
What are the Shen'dralar?
The highborne from uhh
dire maul elves
Dire maul
the dire maul night elves that rejoined their people in cata
To have a mount equipment, u need to be at least level 100, so this means low level alts will have to struggle with water walking while questing wtf
can someone check the junglehopper model?
well its a pity, the shendralar are canonicaly useless, oh well
New: they added our character in the mount journal - riding the mount
Lmao
yeah for gnomes its kinda ridiculous too
they fall on the mount when you transfer from large to small mount
Honeyback Harvester is the name of the bee mount
huh
i didn't notice this before
then he fades away, i think he commits sepukku
Cant see anything related to worgen heritage
5000
yeah but like twice at this point
IS ptr on?
There goes my weekend lol
...its monday
lol
and? I work for two websites so I'll be digging into this patch as much as I can
pft i work for none and i'm already mostly done with this patch
@zealous basalt wait what?
beeeee where are you
did everything past weekend!
Wait, is it really that small of a patch?
I htink he meant 8.2
i mean so far it's not huge no
party sync might be neat
but i'm not sure how other than this quest how much additional stuff there is now PTRs are actually on
so far it just seems to be this quest but i'll have to delve into the cache later
no more broadcast text?
those are probably not actualy void elves
did he just boosh sylvanas and anduin
and just the model is being used
makore setting speedrun record for this quest
Im a monk
at least mother calmed the fork down
so its bait
you don't actually see him
Where do these quests begin?
where does the worgen intro usually break?
Boralus for me
fixed*
broken
also did they break the minimap for chamber of hearts
yes they broke the minimap
Time to check Nazjatar
for the record i has already done Eternal
nope
nada
I guess that's it?
Unless its time gated as well
or in the worst of the cases
....
Linked to heart level
I think we need to wait for more builds
ofuck
and nothing about Sylvanas/war campaign related quests?
nothing
just this but i think it's a place holder
god damn it
its full of worgen today
well, worgen run is still goofy
think worgen intro isnt broken
Since when gryphons can be pets?
I think they look awesome
I don't remember it being so nicely
Did they change the voice of the worgen pcs?
Making this so the people from the BFA speculation thread have somewhere to chat and discuss future patches. If it takes off, and mods allow, might even turn it into the patch thread until we have some kind of idea about 9.0, then this thread can die.
Made this post in th...
not sure if in order
but uh that should be all of it
orly
don't think so, Makore
I didn't know it
thanks blizzard
i didn't know that was the item i adquired
This is hilarius, really
Warriors got new baseline haste
Did anyone check gilneas yet? Non starting zone phase
Might be something for heritage
Imma check it
go do dat
Anyone having a worgen lvl 1?
Aw, they didn't change the sfx of worgen players
LOL
SOMEONE'S HORSE DIED
Minor question: did they remove ironforge portal in 8.2 from boralus?
Is there a shred of humanity left within you?
Before
Is there "even" a shred.... pardon me
After
Does it have bit different animations?
Also
Walking etc....
Something I always disliked from the Worgen intro is that they kinda
start with the RP talk about you while the cutscene is in the way
This part i mean
They never bothered to fix that
Am I the only one who kinda wishes Godfrey was still around and not undead.
I remember it being normal after the cinematic
Godfrey looked cool
I feel like Gilneans have kinda lost their Victorian dapperness.
The one from Legion too
island expeditions too
Thats not worgen tho. But I guess it sort of counts now
Since they joined the Alliance in BFA
So, 4 weeks till 8.2.5 goes live WoW?
6 at most.
Ah ok
how come only some toons can be race changed in ptr?
I said this before, but I feel like this might be coming to piss off Greymane even more
Since Sylvie brought back Jaina's brother after being dead for 20 years
I wouldnt be surprised if she resses Liam Greymane
As... actual forsaken. Not that human form thing
They brought it up in Before the Storm
A SHIT TON OF CLIPPING
Seems like there is nothing new in Gilneas
so much clipping
I wish they made this a captial city
And update it to boralus level aka add inns and stuff on the streets
Guys so heritage armor quests are available?
Gilneas would need to be redone.
It’s built to be a weird battleground.
The city, that is.
Ouch
Oh, reminder that Kul Tiras is the only human nation whose capital isn’t named after their nation.
Boralus is a good name
Lemme visit ol friend uther
helmets look funny on worgens
Ha
Worgen models look A+
what
Nothing new at uther's tomb
Should try and find that new heartstone tavern
whoops
Was that a real thing?
i don't think she should be using this model in legion content 😛
sent
@ionic terrace looks like they just replace them LUL
Light's blessing upon you.
I stand ready to help.
We all have our duty.
her new voice quotes
yea
Ingame she reminds me of uldaman statue
^_^
I wonder whats the story behind her having 2 new modela
Models*
One with and one without the headset or whatever it is
Well I'm definetly making a male worgen outlaw rogue alt
just look at her, another defenseless princess
Wish she turned into a savage worgen
Cool lore would be that she chooses to drink her father's blood in order to become a worgen - just to be stronger lorewise

Looooool
I dont even know why leaders still were there
where is Tyrande now? lol
@tropic trail she gonna to nyalotha 😄
Lmao
well, fuck me
they might be messing with faction restrictions if theyre now putting the pandas in charge
thatll be weird if it actually happens
you are thinking about it too far
theres a lot of little things that are sort of pointing towards it
the addition of the faction icon to the load screen, the changes to the embassy
They removed references to the war with the Horde
^
it seems like it might be a thing, probably not this patch
but maybe prepatch of next expac
well
its still a theory
we will see in a few months with blizzcon probably
its definitely a more modern choice tho
back when wow started, faction specific races was standard
now its choose both
No factions = the death of WoW
tho it looks like allied races may still be restricted, which makes sense
It is literally the core foundation of Warcraft
nah, factions are still going to exist - if this happens it just means you get to choose
yes
it was the core foundation when wow started
and every other mmo at the time
It should ALWAYS remain so
Choosing what faction your race goes to is gross for this game
no factions gameplaywise will never happen
just alone because of the pvp
if it happens, then in the lore
Visual glitch
report it
it's a pretty cool looking glitch tbh
With Asya being in the center of the embassy, there looks to be more room for 2 more banners to her right and left.
gee i wonder what the alliance will get 🙄
@meager zodiac whacha mean
mechagnomes-light undead
lol
on live
idk, haven't tried it out
I'm prolly just gonna google search "wow directx 11 vs directx 12 noticable differences" or someshit
rather than set it
actually, lemme go ahead and google that right now.
Tmw lecturing skills weren't a thing in all schools
When you don’t know what a pawn is
Yeah, as I said, they probably fixed it
When you want to test animations, you end up going through the start area probably tens of times
Which leads to fixing every major bug
Plenty of smaller minor ones tho
Very very minor tho - so they might not get fixed
mountspecial animation still bugged
:(
thought they would fix with update. Did not
Looks like it
yeah, it's not like that on live
I reported the animation bug so often by now
(pressing "find guild" brings up the window on the left)
This is a nice addition. I can get behind that
do the worgens and goblins get heritage armor ?
Not in this build, no, probably in the next other, but they said they will put Heritage in this patch
do they have any pics of it ? or not yet
it is possible it is in the build but encrypted
there's one large set of items that are encrypted under the same key
but we're not sure yet
Ask brozzard for a key
ez pz
@scenic field (with yellow/highlighted text's link) - https://www.mmorpg.com/world-of-warcraft/interviews/new-world-of-warcraft-82-info-tyrande-sylvanas-customization-oh-my-1000013638
How can I trigger the faction change thing here?
you have powers
in the mmorpg article, the goblin/worgen (& transmog/customization) stuff is near the bottom
@zealous basalt just copy ur character from retail
i did
and find with this trigger
what
this?
it rotates every few hours
... please help me
oh dear god
the face when frostbite is real
^ it only happens on the DK's as well it seems
So just delete and pray it falls on it?
or you wait til it rotates to faction swap while you're there. That's your two options
:D
Oh damn, community guild finder thing is finally in
There’s been bits and pieces since the first build with the community system
aint you playin peech?
I’m fairly certain the end goal is full cross server guilds and a total removal of the old guild finder
Not currently, computer decided to do a windows update
It’s almost finished, after 2 fucking hours
whisper “Kill...Me....”
Either way, I want to try out level sync and the new community finder, and hopefully I will be able to in a bit
On a slightly different note, wowhead made an excellent point that using the pandaren NPCs in the embassies does help with future proofing. The example they made with mekkatorque is a good point
This way you don’t have the old three warchiefs problem
Or the, go see varian, and you are talking to anduin
I dont know why, but it feels like they backtracked on a lot of the work goblins got shown with at Blizzcon
my guy's face doesnt move at all beyond slightly opening his mouth during casting animations
same as the old model
How long was 8.2 up on the PTR before it went live?
My flying animation keeps getting stuck
Stays like that and won't change until I press the LMB
So i saw Wrathion was added with a new model and theres also a quest line regarding him? What are the requirements for it on the ptr because i really wanna do that quest line when it comes out but wanna make sure ive done everything i need to first since im still a bit of a fresh 120
I wouldn't know tbh
Idk ifthe quest is even unlocked for testing yet
ahh okay! :0 i wasnt sure if it was released for testing or not yet so i figured id ask
It is Jhock
I just finished the questline that deals with Wrathion but I didn't see his new model.
^
Jebaited
same just did it
Ah shit it is up lol
i wonder if he is actually supposed to be there or no..
Are there any requirements for it like a certain heart of azeroth level or doing certain quests beforehand? Atleast that you guys know of lol
I don't think they've unlocked that part of the Wrathion storyline yet
^
probably encrypted
so, quick test with new guild finder
category drop down lets you select multiple
then you select size, small, medium, or large
then you can select spec type - tank, heal, dps
then search
you can also refine the search by literally searching the name of a guild
seems to be realm specific as there are none on my realm
does anyone have a lvl 120 druid to check the dreamgrove for anything new?
theres a scenario that might be available
MAYBE
no
they always do?
The special lines got removed in WoD
^
i think they were broken so they hard disabled them
from what I remember in the beta, they wouldnt shut up
they tried a bunch to fix them, couldnt so they just stopped it
I think they fixed it by not having it be constant
Ive only heard the "Check out that arena game last night?" line from my imp once
a new building
or a new quest
might be using an old building
would be inside
Specifically in the dreamgrove
don't see anything yet
nope
though Rensar and Hamuul are 120 and 123 now
not sure if they are on live
ye not seeing anything, sorry
The drip fed lore content is gonna kill me lol
I get why they’re doing it, but man is it gonna be slow
This patch doesn't seem to be that big honestly in terms of content. Unless they are doing another content phase?
its the first build
Calia’s model is in, so I assume this patch will be her introduction.
Then again they added Wrathion and we don’t see him yet in PTR.
so
let me sum up what we have seen vs what we know is probably here
endgame we have seen? 1 wrathion quest
what we know there probably is
a scenario in the dreamgrove that has a fancy hearthstone tavern
work on, or a finished version of a warfront
a followup wrathion questline where we meet and likely talk with wrathion
some kind of questline with calia
likely 1-2 cutscenes
maybe more
heritage armor quests for worgen and goblin and the armor itself
OH
and the timewalking raid
and the OTHER timewalking raid (anniversary)
and the world stuff that comes with the anniversary
quest sync
theres a bunch of stuff here
has someone tried quest sync
i havent
but i want to
problem is we need a low level character, probably 20-80
because lots of the quests before 20, especially race intro ones, likely dont sync at all
I really wonder how they’re gonna work Calia in
she seems to not really fit anything else this patch
My guess is the Scarlet stuff.
@uncut vault
I mean, her outfit has red gems. I could see it being a hint that she takes control of the Scarlets and turns them into Light Undead.
I can only hope
I could for sure level a toon up to 20 at some point during the week to see
maybe the velonara stuff is being made Horde only
and then the alliance version is cleaning up the aftermath of corpses with Calia
Ehhhh
Hard to say. The
The quest involves you being approached by the hunter dude to save Velonara on both Horde and Alliance.
Which is weird af.
so wait do we know the end game?
“Ah yes, I, an Alliance member, will save one of Sylvanas’ dark rangers.”
well thats what I mean
maybe theyre going to give alliance their own scarlet stuff
instead of piggybacking on the Horde one for no good reason
Maybe. I think they want the Horde and Alliance to witness Calia’s introduction tho.
perhaps theyvel earned from the Void elves, and are introducing stuff this patch
but not instantly making them playable
I kinda think they’re going to build them up in this patch and 8.3, then release them for 8.3.5
For like the next-expansion pre order incentive or something.
Is the dark ranger in game yet
the scenario? no
we have the strings from when it was first implemented, but i imagine it has probably changed a bunch, if they are even still going to use it
OH YEAH
has anyone tried to see if the bee quest is a thing?
I would, but my bee pet didnt xfer over for some reason 😦
but yeah, I imagine the story surrounding the velonara stuff is going to change a bit if it ever does get implemented
HOLY SHIT - allied race starting gear is now transmog material
like the big ass draenei mace for lightforged paladins
Oh those starting weapons 👀👀
yeah i opened my transmog collection and noticed that weapon was there
also i have no clue how to start the bee quest
might need to complete the bumbles quest first....
yeah
im working on doing it first
oh fuck
it has to be done for 7 days
im not testing this
FUUUUU
theyve been in for a while
thats why its likely that if its gonna be used, it will not be the same as what was datamined
Wonder if tomorrow there is going to be a build
Could there be one that soon?
idk
wut flashing
Low health flashing?
there's some graphical flashing for some people
though maybe they should just update drivers to see if that helps
there was an nvidia driver recently with a fix for that specifically in wow
I havent gotten any
me neither
This lower lip is so buggy
o god
Interesting, this is a legacy achievement now
some are
The ones that don’t follow Moira are
lol
he's a good fluff anyway
The Honeyback faction seems really good
No timegating
I just really hope they make it both Horde and Alliance
So both sides can use the mount
Yeah thats what I meant
But in the article the mount is Alliance only
As in only Alliance can ride it
So I was right, it does need bumbles
bumbles?
How do you get it?
I have no pets on the PTR so I can't test it either, even though I have it in the live game
You get it by killing bees above seeker’s vista in stormsong. It’s a random drop
Not the pet tho
Then you do a daily quest chain
You get an Amulet
For 7 days
Then you go to scribes and nobles in boralus
Cant we buy it?
Then you return to mildenhall meadery
Then do a daily for 7 days
No you can’t buy it
fuck
Which makes testing this hard
The pet is sort of time gated
it feels like this is the reward
But after that it’s just a massive rep grind
Tho it is a unique mount, and it’s definitely easier than requiring a raid
And this will be something you can come back to next expac with no problem
ya
I hope they let horde use it like alliance with kuafon
I already leveled a Demon Hunter on Alliance and did the dailies, so I really hope I can use it on Horde as well
How much rep is from neutral to exalted?
Can Horde ride the bee mount if u get it on alliance?
atm no
D:
We gon require
215 of the royal jelly
to reach exalted
...which is not bad at all
So
im stuck in the loading screen to dalaran
eh
darnassus
It is definitely a reference to that
the worgen female running animation feels weird
lemme check
i think it's always been a bit odd like that
if anything that seems more normal to me
well. as normal as a werewolf walkin can be
at least the male one looks real good
asking please
?
I think you turn it on in accout settings on the website
Then just go to the launcher and install it
Everyone can access it?
Yep
