i would probably not pay enough attention to do that
i dont pay attention to when my earth shield is gone on shaman
i might race change my main so i can have shorter stuns (useful for tanking)
i also just wanted to say that even if MG racials get nerfed, what are they gonna nerf? probably only numbers
so the racials will still be good no matter what
and the mirror image mage thingy
was it % hp?
yes
yeah, i'd expect it to be changed into a flat HP amount
ok
AR draenei or regular?
not that i know of, no
gonna create a draenei and check
right
seems similiar
true
it used to heal for a flat amount scaling with level back in tbc/wrath
idk when they changed it
WoD
probably
but i might be wrong
never played alliance, so i don't know much about their racials
i know some basics
like "Nelves have stealth" xD
which is super good in m+ btw
yeah, the only racial that is actually decent for M+ on ally side
well, DI Dwarf racial is good too on SoB
you know the singular only (possible) AR that would get me playing alliance
which is not confirmed
for the poison NPCs before 3rd boss
and mauldrak is highly against it
and has fought many people on it
multiple times
MGs have lock picking up to any skill btw, awesome for m+ rn
wat be it @strange falcon
No, they won't be playable
i think he knows :P
? @cyan prairie
and i think you know why i'm right
i'm not saying they will be playable,i'm fully comfortable on horde for 15 years
but if they did make it in,as alliance
oh nvm
i'd be compelled
wat
to make one
they start with S
saberon?
end with K
they are related to a horde zone
ya
you said it
the snek bois
ahhh
why would snek go alliance
for real
because ppl are butthurt about them
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5JYE13UEAAevW2.jpg why internet..
lul
i dont understand how they are not horde yet
admit it
(a.k.a Reddit)
there is 3 possible scenarios,1-they dont make it in,2-they go horde,so far both of these cause no change to my behavior
then the 3rd scenario if they go alliance
i'd have to endure disgusting alliance players,to make one
they wouldn't be alliance, due to lore reasons
alliance pretty much killed any of their chances to get them in 8.1
with attack on Dazar'alor
i feel offended Dafire
you should be darbotar
lol damn
imagine having hunched trolls, orcs who were also hunched but now somehow managed to stand up straight which looks abnnormal btw
and the only hot race being belfs
hey
what you mean the only hot race
nightborne?
instead of having humans
imagine playing a faction that has no story 
x6
lol
i mean even female goblins look cute
orcs look so damn hot
imagine playing a faction with a marysue leader
well i guess we have different beauty standards
dude lol
you brought this upon yourself when you revealed you were an alliance player darbotar
you cannot complain
Nightborne and Belf women > every other women
well, yeah i can
you saying orcs are not hot
you gonna say something?
The hottest race are Nelves (especially after prepatch) 
dwarf females are hot
dwarf ladies are so rare,during legion's easter event
oy i have a female dwarf shaman
dwarf females are like bald midget pandarens
hilarious xD
you could had asked for me
imagine an event requiring you to find a Kul'tiran female
Kappa
Orcs are what humans should be
do you also think undead females are hot?
KappaPride
or males at that?
if you have twin tails, anything can be cute
i know that from personal experience ^^
even i can be cute with twin tails
oy you saying i'm not cute without them?
on what
i look very cute
mom tells me that a lot
that's good
Undeads without the transmog-breaking bones, here i come
yeah, i'm so much excited for those
exactly, finally they won't be as ugly anymore
maybe they will get their back upright too
doubt it
as the guards we see at dazar'alor
would be nice
upright trolls too Kappa
hell yeah
but i like trollies being hunched
the single reason my horde monk is a troll is because of that
why are the Trolls so hunched? So they can better see how low the quality of alliance is badum tss
they are capoeira masters
woah
coming back to the channels' topic, sorta, do you guys think the additional customization options will be RPG slider-like?
uhm i dont think so
nah
probably only presets, like we already have
just more face, hair etc. options
damn
feelsbadman
i just want an option to make your legs shorter or longer
i.e. your entire character
but you play alliance
you can play normal humans, short humans
i want Taunka skin option for Tauren!
dude
i want yaungol or however we spell that
imagine a small nelf tho
i'd want shorter legs on my tauren
exact the same? what are you talking about
this is ridiculous btw... no alliance race looks the same as of rn
not that big a difference
taunka and yaungol have significant differences
yaungol is HD taunka
they all cow bois
bigger than Draenei and LF Draenei
change my mind xd
specifically in faces and horns
but they are really different
well that's exactly my thought, Dafire
just HD
oh no, here comes mrpeach
everyone run
no need to be rude
hugs peach
sry peach
they are different tho - tauren are similar to trolls
they have multiple varities based on their environment
tauren are different by continent tho
taunka in northrend, tauren in kalimdor, and yaungol in pandaria
theyre culturally different as well
and HMT at broken isles
they are not
the entire face area is significantly different
taunka have a flat face
yaungol have more hair
and larger horns
i wonder if there will be any lore explanation for these new customisation options
you've already said that mauldrak
but they could also work with new customizations
there is no need for extra quests or explanations
since trolls are getting the other skin colors
Trolls get Farraki, who are 100% aggressive towards the Horde
it makes some sense in the context of adding variation
think of it like this mauldrak
so, why no Fel Orcs
there are more options because its about individualism
an individual farraki joining the horde is now something you can physically play
it doesnt mean the tribe has allied
in the case of taunka, they are already allies of the horde
so why wouldn't it work the same for Fel Orcs?
yaungol would be in the farakki box
oh they could
i just dont know if they will
we havent seen red skinned orcs without spikes since BC
but aren't the fel orcs the "raging rampant" ones?
there are models of Fel Orcs, that use the new Orc Model
like the first time, eventually it fades
dont they have the warlords spikes mauldrak?
oh, they updated the BC ones?
ah ok
then yeah
certainly possible
didnt realize those had been updated
you dont have to screenshot
wowhead modelviewer lets you see npc customization options
yeah, but i didn't see Fel Orc skin option there
but legit, are there any red orcs that are sane enough to "join" the horde aka a new customization option?
nvm you gotta screenshot
yes they could be
green orcs eventually lost a majority of their uncontrollable rage
fel orcs are organized
before Zaela became their Warlord
its fair to say thats possible for red orcs since that happened with grommash
which one?
AU one - we don't know
Our Grommash - sacrificed himself to kill Manny and free the Orcs
there you go
They're on the updated model
interesting
Maybe they could add Eredar skin for Draenei?
if they want some more "player design"
yaungol are super different
they might not happen
but taunka are just the face
so theyre possible
The issue with Taunka is, that just like Sethrak, they have no female models
Female Taunka used just normal Tauren model
i mean, yeah thats definitely an issue
but its not like they can use the current taunka heads anyway
but they could just use regular tauren females and model taunkas on top
they would have to make new faces/heads like they are for humans
which i dont think is unreasonable
since humans are getting entirely new faces
not just skin colors
making a female taunka would make sense
and it meets the same criteria as the new human faces
theyre new faces
id argue sethrak have female voices
they have voices
so they could just have little gender diversity
but their entire model doesnt work
im not saying make taunka a race
im saying make them a tauren customization
theyre literally already members of the horde
and it doesnt require editing the model outside of the face
outside of more skin colors
Taunka model also supports the armors already
no no
it wouldnt use the taunka model
it would have to be from scratch
taunka model is old and doesnt match hd tauren
they would essentially be modeling new faces based on the taunka faces
and then adding them as customization options, reusing the rigging from wrath to connect the head
and then probably redoing the actual facial rigging to match the different facial structure
which is what they are doing with new humans
its within the scope of things they are already doing
for example, thin ice trolls are within that same parameter
large trolls are not
theyre mainly just horns and some face differences
hell, you might not even need to do facial changes
just add new tusks and hair and color options
The thicc Troll models are closer to an Orc, than to a Troll
with the armor scaling
lets just fully avoid that debate
also no
those arent blood elves
new options wont be things that arent that thing
taunka are derivative of tauren
dark rangers are derivative of night elves
and wont be a playable skin option unless its an undead option
there are both belf and nelf dark rangers
Did I just see people ganging on an alliance member here
yeah theyre on the model
yes you did Makore ๐ฆ
but they arent living blood elves
lol no
it would be weird to have an undead with blood elf racials
i mean, the Blood Elves could get Dark Ranger skin option, like normal dwarves get wildhammer skin option
How dare you two gankers
go cry for 60% warmode buff (jk)
those arent equivalent
dark rangers are undead
it would be very strange for an undead blood elf to share racials
it's just as weird, as seeing WH Dwarf Paladin
But racial are the same
i think they wouldve worked as an allied race
Obviously you won't make a WH Paladin if you know the lore
but then that would be 3 dwarf allied races
meanwhile all orcs were shoved under one banner
yeah, that's why i said that Dark Rangers should be just skin option for Belves
we don't need more elf ARs
I think if all it would be a skin for unded
it's a 50/50
they could be just undead AR
If they actually put it
i could see them adding pointed ears to an undead
but they would need a 3rd skin then
with skin changes
a Nelf Dark Ranger
especially now that you can have a no bones option
because why not
I don't know how would it work though
Unless there can be a counter argument on what, I'm about to say
I don't think that blue eyes should be an option
for blood elves
It's a big middle finger to players in general
it would be funny tho
They're blood elves, I forgot the lore reason behind the eye color change
but it'd make no sense
well true
i'd laugh so much reading all these rage posts on reddit or anywhere else xD
exposure to fel?
Belves are clear now tho, that's why they got the golden eyes color option
due to Sunwell
High elven split into two, one part remained in Dalaran and the other part went to recover their land, stuff happened and they were infused to fel energied
Now cleansed to Light energy
However High Elves are still infused with Arcane
Reason of Blue eyes
Yeah because the Blood Elf is apart of the ones that went to recover their land
right?
It's like an ethnic difference of beliefs
pc-
Ye
the blood elf pc I mean
The blood elf pc is full follower of those
If all
Blue shining eyes would be a skin part of humans
What do you think @dense plover ?
If they were to come up with total skin changes like Undead to Undead Elf
wait, you're trying to say that High Elf skin should be for humans?

Would that be the same with Human to High Elf?
Well Maul
Issue is racials
They arent going to make a high elf that runs through void rifts do they
Human racials are the basic that don't hurt anyone
void elf kek
Or they can go another way
And make half elves
Which might be making humans with a bit pointy ears and stuff
Although half elves are rare
nothing you said makes more sense than Helf skin for Belf
I have learned to ignore you already, Maul
But ye
This whole skin change is
Too new
i mean literally, it's like giving a Dwarf skin for a Gnome
It's either them being able to change skins
Without changing the race
Or just don't giving them up
I'm leaning for the second
i'd rather expecr draenei getting Eredar skin options
Ehh
makes no sense, but still more than elf skin for human
pretty sure they're irredeemable, but seeing as how their are eredar that just do their own thing, or am I confusing them for the Man'ari?
You aren't getting it, Mauldrak
I'm not talking about if they look alike
It's about them acting like a placeholder of racial abilities that don't look very whack
It would be the same giving the Blood elves the skin of being a Dark Ranger
it still makes no sense
If you wouldn't like to make another race slot
if Helves are still infused with arcane
Because I'm certain, that racial abilities don't take that much effort like a zone
They could make the Void Rifts into Arcane Rifts or something like that
or a new class
then Belf racials make 100% sense
the manari are an eredar faction I think
I don't know if that is really possible
So something like
With a different skin tho?
why even a different skin?
thats not unreasonable but extremely unlikely
i dont even expect anything that out there
i guess the whole existence of Void Elves is one big pile of shit in the lore already
we shouldn't expand it
I don't know if you are unreasonable or if you are just stubborn
what i'm trying to say - the lore got hurt enough with the addition of Void Elves
trying to "fix" it
would only make things worse
It would have been better if they added more in deep story
Void elf is a nice concept
But it was added like boom
High,Night,Blood,Void
they got created from nothing
yes
Not a real build up
That's what it mean with added like boom
yup
If it had more build up and stuff in it
of a playable skeleton
Green Kul'tirans - here are your playable Ogres
Yeah
well
"Das a discussion"
yup
I still can't believe that Ion threw the towel with Nzoth
I do remember that Legion had a final blizzcon along BfA
Some bits of info
as disappointing as 8.3 is
wasn't the KamehameHEARTOFAZEROTH cutscene removed recently?
i mean
until 2020 october i guess
we dont know how he goes
the cutscene we saw is not the raid end cinematic
like it never existed
I was going to say
we dont know how the raid ends
"The fuck you talking with 2020"
we know we use the reorigination machine
True
and the dagger probably
my guess is we put nzoth in the dagger
mhm
and then nzoth will be important in another expac
Wonder if there is going to be post stuff
probably?
Like in 7.3.5
there are still many things that need some explaining
considering the deathknight stuff is in 8.3
N'zoth's end is just one of them
Well, he hasn't ended yet so
and we don't know if he even does
well nzoth doesnt win
until we see the ending cinematic
but thats all we know
I still have my doubts about the datamine
what if getting into the dagger actually means victory for him?
thats been my theory from the start
that nzoth wants us to use the dagger
because otherwise none of this makes sense
why give the dagger to sylvanas
and send us to nazjatar
I agree with Mr.Peach
if nzoth gets killed?
hence why its 50/50 between if he wanted us or not, based on the current writing quality ๐
N'zoth gets Imprisoned in the dagger, then shadowlands
this guy manipulated so many things, that i wouldn't be surprised if we end being manipulated ourselves
theyve made it pretty clear on ptr that nzoth has always been 4 steps ahead of us
we need to know what happens to people who still have his illuminati eye
after his "death"
probably nothing, besides the toy
Jailer merges with Nzoth and revives everyone and merges with all old gods and opens a rift to the void dimension sending Azeroth there
The end
probably what porter said
Also sorry peach
hard to say tho
they purposefully remove it after 1-2 scenarios
so that you cant see
its not a bug either
Inb4 it's a massive laugh at the end of the game
Well
so theyre purposefully hiding something i think
It works weird in PTR
ok, so other thing
I only see it in BfA areas
why would Bolvar suddenly start making new DKs?
if they get created before Sylvanas attacks him
Sylvanas
thats something we will definitely discover post raid
Sylvanas
guaranteed
Long answer
Sylvanas comes AFTER that
Something else
theres a SHITTON of bolvar icecrown encrypted stuff
there will be a story of some kind there
There is a meeting between Darion and Bolvar too
yep
Yeah
the encrypted stuff is before Sylvanas
yep
I wonder if Alexstraza will appear in those bolvar moments, pissy or not
Since... Life and death duo
still no idea where that occurs
because we havent seen it ingame
they added more last build
i wonder if they'll give him a new model
Wonder if she gonna be like "You had one job"
so its definitely something being worked on
That's a sure
bolvar definitely has a new model
So what I can conclude here is that Saurfang dies, Sylvanas goes to her home N'zoth is still around, we go and defeat N'zoth, N'zoth is imprisoned in the Dagger, and while we're fighting N'zoth Bolvar decides to make new Allied Race Death Knights
So Later, Sylvanas is further empowered and she goes to Icecrown
hes a main character in shadowlands
She deals with Bolvar, and opens the shadowlands
God damn it
it was already said on the blizzcon, that Bolvar creates the new Death Knights before Sylvanas attacks him. and he does this only because he knew Sylvanas will attack him
as a dev said, he knew there is something to come
yeah
he has a connection to the shadowlands
he probably knows that death is broken
Fucking broken
uhh... if he knew why wouldn't his DKs defend him?
that blue scourge magic comes from the shadowlands
Pls nerf
thats literally what 8.3 is
i guess they are stronger than some mindless zombies
and what the siege of ice crown is
I'll be curious to see if the new DKs are willing or not. I hope they arent, would add a much needed layer of actual moral depth to fighting Sylvanas
I have a theory of why the current DK doesn't really help
Because they most likely will? What we saw is what happened when Sylvanas arrived at the ice crown
there is still this thing with Nathanos and his mission
My theory is because how scripted the event it
nathanos' mission already happened
were the DK's sent to fight N'zoth while she was doing that?
Since it is a "New Character created" intro
or....
Yeah, what happens to Nathanos is another question
And not an event
the question is what happened after
I suppose they couldn't make it a time limited event
the pre patch will most likely be about defending the ice crown from Sylvanas and her forces (Dark Rangers, Nathanos etc) - as part 1. Part 2 will be what happened after Sylvanas destroyed the helm. The scourge attacks
But there is going to probably be 3rd Generation forces
bruh i don't think its just gonna be all zombies invading towns, and infecting people
I would write pre patch word by word
the stuff that nathanos and Sylvanas were talking about at windrunner spire was likely her assaulting ICC
But it would make a shit ton of flood
ripping apart the helm and causing such a big tear is something to hesitate about
they wont
No
about her attack on Icecrown or sth
We know that blizzard decided to end it at windrunner spire
I still believe that the whole line was a mess
The only thing people learned from it was
....
Well
I think everyone knew Nathanos's feelings over Sylvanas
To not do stuff like that
i mean, there just HAS to be at least one more quest for loyalists
I didn't expect much
there should be more, but there wont be
it'd be weird if she said "when we meet next time"
and then they actually never meet
I suppose that tells Blizz to think about two sides of the same storyline better
I mean
Coming down from the climax of the War Campaign, a final cutscene takes place where Sylvanas Windrunner teases her true intentions once again. Discord https:...
There is the little chance of having a last quest, because of the datamined "loyalist cosmetic set" . But they could just scraped that Idea and there really wont be anything
The whole thing was supposed to be just rebellion
Let's remember that they added the choice at last minute
ehh they should reward people for being patient enough to side with her...
Until the last minute when people complained
I even suspect that the last cinematic would have happened to rebelists anyways
As in
"We have found Sylvanas go hunt her"
Cinematic happens
we need some introduction to the Icecrown attack
Kek
I remember that
Lol
But ye
I never expected a lot from the Sylv loyalist
I mean I suppose is cute to let players have some illusion of choice for the favorite character
it was still more, than naming some meaningless ship xD
The PC just wants gold and gear
but yeah, if the choice doesn't matter in the end, it's just not worth it
that's actually true
mhm
We're basically
Give a bunch of homeless people gold and loot for killing a specific thing
Although considering how much the PC has gone through
Even i would be a little insane
I wonder if there is going to be some sort of flavor for the veteran players that went through exoacs before the Prepatch
Becuz as... Let's say... If I was a writer (I am not) I would make us, the veterans be a Lil more recognizable, while making the new ones (New players after prepatch) feel like genuinely new
thats also very valid for any DND character
go risk your life and sanity
for 2 gold pieces
mhm
there's a thing that some people state is that
our characters are basically what we would do/be, if we were in a world like Wow for example and we had the option to do stuff like that.
We are still bound by rules in there but yes
Thank you Hero for killing a Death Titan, that could destroy the whole universe. Here's your 20 gold and some green socks.
also, the green socks will be no good in 3 months, they don't have the azerite traits you want because they're socks, and they're standard issue because class gear is a thing of the past
It's a cycle of this game
We start killing Boars in Durotar
end up killing titans
to go back to killing Boars somewhere else
What about wolves? Are there Titan wolves?
Fenrir. Well, more like god wolf but y'know
TITAN WOLVES
@dense plover Li Li and Chen questline is up in vale
YESH
Yep
but also i hope they dont reset assaults again
if its nzoth in the vale again im gonna scream
i havent been able to test the others
yea
tbh I wasn't expecting it till tomorrow
but it does seem to be hitting around 5 - 6 pm Eastern lately
thats ideal
thats 3pm pst
they have 3 or so hours to get it up before people go home
patch just went out
1.17gb
Huh that's pretty beefy
its medium-low sized
probably mainly filled in voice files
they added 1000+ voicefiles last ptr patch
and the majority were empty
Datamine

qian's vo is in
thats the head mogu for the mogu faction
wastewander vo is in
thats one of the uldum groups
lol i thought blizz forgot about chen
thralls vo is in
๐
amazeing gallywix is a cuck who knew?
Hm.. Possibly the new starting zone for the Panda/Allied Race DK's?
most likely
@dense plover looks like the third assault is Aqir
OH
uldum is aqir, sun guys, and nzoth
vale is mogu, nzoth, and mantid
Teeming Island Expeditions
thats unexpected
also, seems like theres an aqir insect rep, so probably a grind mount like the pterrorax
Uncorrupted Voidwing
This spawn of Vexiona, cleansed by Wrathion, comes from a flight with a fractured past and uncertain future.
Quest: Lost Flight
theyre giving you a mount
sick
weird, link doesnt work
the swarmer is 100,000 of the research tokens
thats so many
oh good, seems like consuming maws are being brought back
maybe theyll fix the bug where they didnt work
@uncut vault
Peer Pressure Defeat N'Zoth, the Corruptor in Ny'alotha, the Waking City while all players have accepted the Gift of N'Zoth on Normal difficulty or higher
new achieve^
if you gave the gift away, you literally cant XD

thats gonna be a pain to get lol
thats why its normal or higher
if it was heroic it would never be completed
BOOOOO
they changed the recipe names
now theyre lame
๐ฆ
ew
urzul was gross too
mythic mounts should be unique
and should identify where they came from
i would say that one does its job
Highlord Darion Mograine Voice Over - Patch 8.3 #Darion #Mograine #VoiceOver
Lich King Bolvar Fordragon Voice Over - Patch 8.3 #LichKing #Bolvar #VoiceOver
I dont like darions new voice actor lol
is it different from legion?
From legion and wrath, yeah
or at the very least, inflected in an entirely different tone
its definitely the same person
but yes
the tone is different
that could be purposeful
in legion it was taliesin jaffe and it definitely still is
which makes me think its either purposeful
or they goofed like they did with lorthemar when naz first came out
I like the callback to the original lich king speech
"this is the hour of your dark rebirth"
and he still has his lich king voice
seems to me like they're not willingly raised, I hope that ends up being the case
maybe we will find out once the servers are up
im guessing the void dragon might be the aotc mount..?
His voice is different in the Shadowlands Trailer? or is it the same Voice Actor, I think that the Lich King Voice only comes with the Helmet.
no
If that's true then, I want the Helm of Domination for my character, too bad its broken now tho
the lost flight is a quest in the campaign
the void dragon mount is a quest reward everyone will get
its not a new dragon
its the old drake model
the one from cata
You serious right?
I wish they'd update the older dragon models, I mean sure I like the new Deathwing Mount and the Wrathion Dragon Model in 7.3.5
whats the campaign quest?
But like what, about the red dragon models and specific stuff, it makes sense tho as they don't generally update models unless, it has to do with the theme of an expansion
introduces all the mechanics and explains the story behind them
they updated most demon themed things in Legion
ah okay
No bro what I'm saying is like
the NPC Dragons, the Red Dragons and Blue Dragons don't have updated models like
Dragon Npcs in general besides
Wrathion
and
yes because theyre not relevant enough
and wrathion didnt have a unique model
all the other flight leaders do
except the current green dragon leader
but thats only because theyre new
up until now Wrathion's had a non-unique model, though
that's what I'm saying.
because he wasn't showing himself openly, working in secrecy, thus not needing a model until now... because he wasn't super relevant
100mb update on live, weird
i dont like how the void dragon looks now
the big purple vexiona model?
ooooo
socket placing item
sick
oh
void dragon IS using new model
sick
yeah
they mustve used a placeholder in the quest previously
recolored storm drake?
Ah.
but mainly yes
might be the AOTC mount
but i dont think so
i could be wrong
doesnt seem tied to 9.0 tho
and usually the last patch AOTC mount is the one that ties into next expac
the bird of titans blood was the only exception
we got the moose for legion
actually
titans blood bird did tie in
azerite
duh
so the AOTC mount will be something tied to shadowlands
maybe something with the oribos aesthetic?
yeah i disagree completely
it doesnt follow the trend of other AOTC mounts
they usually tie in to the next expac
I think it should be phrased to possibly be the AOTC mount
