Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[TriHard]

Yall just don't want Blizzard to gib teh Lizard

I mean, I would be all for it if they could make them decent and not furry-trash like the female worgen.
I just want a new race that is not covered in fur. It's about time we get something with scales, whether it's naga or dragon, I don't care.

But it has to be good!

[Paula Deen]

Naga are lizard people tho

The very definition of Typical Lizards means they have legs. So no.

Edit: Also Naga are technically (ASHCTUALLY) Elves.

Problem is that if you look many 100s of pages back, you'll see that the uploader did confirm he had photoshopped it all.
I cba searching that far back, but it's in this thread from back when the first leak phase started, shouldn't be too hard to find.

Hahhaha -I- KNOW that.

But a leak can be an accurate guess sometimes broseph

[Nathanyel]

I do as well, though I will be god damn furious if the Horde gets Ogres and the Alliance gets taller humans.

Weeell technically, Ogres are cousins/ancestors of the Orcs, so the Humans' equivalent would indeed be the Vrykul. And Vrykul are physically more different from Humans than Elves, so it'd still be an interesting race.

Agreed. I really want another race that stands out. Whether its Ethereal, Dragonkin, traditional Naga, Naga brute-style, Saurok, something. Something non-mammalian.

[Paula Deen]

Honestly WoW is like the only MMO besides fucking Guild Wars (Rip that franchise kek) that doesn't have Lizardfolk of some kind that are playable. Naga, Dragonkin, Saurok, I don't care. Give me SOMETHING that I can make 50 of and 22 RP Profiles for.

[TheFirstOnes]

These dudes are more boring than Naga?

Uhhhhh....

*Looks at the Hunter (LUL) tier 21 set*

Ye.

[GoodUsername55]

Uhhhhh....

Updated Un'goro Crater: Starting zone for Lizardmen Race in the current upheaval of Silithus, ravaging Aqir rush to invade the lush crater. The very Blood of Azeroth flows into the valley, and the lifeforms are strengthened by the 5th element, Spirit, bringing new enemies and allies to likes we've never seen before.

I'd sooner see Wyrmkin/Dragonkin as a class

[Fahrad Wagner]

Would be neat if we finally had a full lore explanation of how the dragonkin/wyrmkin came to be. I'd be delighted to have them as a race/class, certainly much more than if we end up with naga...

[Grimfrost]

Guys they changed the "cat form" name to "shapeshift form" .... this could mean that we get a new druid race that doesn't turn into a cat but something else.

[Tris822]

I mean I think the leak is interesting, I haven't seen the creator confirming the fact that it is fake (would be awesome if you could link), but theres some things that it ties things together. Human shamans were discussed in the first chronicle if im not mistaken, towards the end of the book and I'm pretty sure it discussed troll paladins, everything else I dont know about. The changes to character customization seems to be playing a huge role (hopefully) in the next expansion since we saw the screenshot that blizzard posted showing off the new casting animations. Seeing the new gnome hair and the face changes to the female tauren. Il'gynoth also states, "The king of diamonds has been made a pawn." I dont know if that means he'll betray us or the void is baiting him to try and help azeroth to then take over him. Im rambling, but I just think the leak has some interesting points and don't what to make of the conjecture.

The leak im talking about is the one that shows the picture of magni

Interesting. I guess that makes sense, the rest are broad(Guardian/Travel/Aquatic). That's....hype.

[darebel]

Hm , saw that Anduin comic once more....makes a lot more sense now where this story is going... Even his damn datamined wowhead speach got me thinking this shit is going in a good way

[Grimfrost]

Kinda makes sense with the "wyrmskin" hint... why would a reptilian race turn into a cat ? Maybe they get a reptillian "cat form"? OR with the leak that said pandaren druid but... what would they turn into? I mean the following :

Worgen turning into a wolf/cat hybrid = normal, they look wolfy in catform and also they come from nelf druids
Nelf and tauren turning into lion/panther = logical, always been that way
Trolls turning into voodoo tigers = logical, they get their catform

Possible options :

Orcs turning into some kind of wolf? Wolves don't have claws for the scratches and it would be a little weird with the sham wolf form
Undead turning into a skeletal cat would not make them change the name from "cat form"
Goblin druids are just something i don't even want to imagine.
Human druids turning into another type of feline would be pretty logical, wouldn't make them change the name
Dwarf druids same as above
Gnome druids same as above
Blood elves turning into some kind of lynx would be pretty logical too

Now for the game changers :
Draenei would maybe turn into something completely different than a bear or a cat so that would make them change the name
Pandaren ... maybe a bear turning into a bear is too silly for blizzard? Making them decide they get other forms than a bear/cat
A new race that would be able to be a druid but where a cat/bear wouldn't make sense such as something reptillian (naga? dragonkin?)
Etheral druids seem far off but blizzard is not going to revamp a whole race to use for just 1 patch (7.3) maybe they turn into a bulky and an agile kind of void creature?

OOOOOOOOOOOR they just did this for no reason which would kinda suprise me

[Blayze]

If Druids get Wyrmform, that'd be fucking boss.
