Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[rcshaggy]

I still have a hard time believing they'll go 8 years before introducing a new race.

Well here is hoping there will be new ones tomorrow if they announce it.

[Ragnarocket]

Don't worry wolf bro. We still got Darius motherfuckin' Crowley.

Do we? I haven't seen that guy since I leveled my Worgen Mage...back in Cataclysm.

This isn't Starcraft.

Remind me?

[Ningjinq]

I wonder what he meant by "eliminate the competition" for that matter.

If we do have a heavy Old God presence along with the Faction War, my guess is he found some Twilight Cultists.

Are we sure that’s before Sargeras’ stab? I took it as, if it’s after the stab, they are referring to other prospectors of the Titan blood.

So it's almost here. Any good leaks? Here is to hoping for new customization and a few pirate themed areas

[Night Wind]

Can't wait to see my boys C'thun and Yoggy again.

[rda]

Remind me?

Base trades are for Starcraft, not for WoW.

Inb4 the Desolate Council is splitting from the Horde and becomes a human subrace.

[Musta]

Can anyone be so kind to link me "genki's leak" ? =)

World of Warcraft:Shadows Fall
Focusing on a war between Horde and Alliance being manipulated by the Old Gods after the events of Silithus. Every major lore character is involved and YOU are an enemy and friend at the same time.
Lvl 120 cap
Currency is Azerite
Horde:HM Tauren,Zandalari trolls,Nightborne races
Alliance:AoL Draenei,Void Elves,Dark iron dwarves races
Worgen and Goblin new models will be rolled out next year.
7 new zones(3 are on Kul'Tiras) plus 2 more zones added in content patches
City sieges for open world pvp.
Customisation overhaul including height changer and tattoos.
Racial storylines
Horde vs Alliance with the Windrunner sisters and Jaina being the main characters
Artifact weapons are sacrificed for the most part to seal the wound of Silithus. Windrunner bow is given back to Alleria.
Weapon crafting system.
Level scale up happening in Azeroth
Three new battlegrounds
3.0 revamp of level experience has been in development for nearly 4 years. Expect zone changes worldwide so the events post MoP will be visible such as territory changes all with Legion tier details so expect new settlements where before were ruins. Gilneas is remade.
Old zones now have storylines attached to them rather than complete 96/96 quests. Storyline chapters are now the norm from Elwynn to Silithus after being used in MoP,WoD and Legion.
Silvermoon and Exodar brought from the TBC map into the current map allowing flight and more immersion details with updated level up experience.
Sylvanas has Tyr's hand.
Cross faction communications are now possible but only on RP and RP-PVP realms for now. All alliance can understand orcish and all horde can understand common. Other languages are still not possible for cross communication.

Plot twist: One of the main characters that everyone knows is an incarnation of N'zoth and has been dead for years. We were never talking to them. Dubbed internally as the "SIxth sense experience" moment referring to how that movie ended.

Oh you meant that. I dunno, I had something more Scooby-Dooish in mind.

No leaks, but the "Before the Storm" prologue is out:

[Darkarath]

I think that we are forgetting that something BIG happens in Silithus that gets the goblins pretty excited. This might be the reason of the next war, the excuse that Sylvanas need to justify her war against the Alliance to a Horde tired of conflict.

My guess is that both factions go to Silithus to see what the goblins discover and Sylvanas or a third faction Old-God related make a move to start another conflict between Horde and Alliance.

[Noraver]

Who else is hoping Sylvanas brings back Genn's son as a Forsaken?

Would certainly give him more of a reason to rip her throat out.

[Enrif]

I mean the Horde attacked the Val'kyr first.

Please note that Sylvanas tried to screw over a alive Val'kyr for her goals, made a deal with Helya who is Odyn's mortal enemy or rather was. Sylvanas has way more dirt on her hands then Genn Greymane who has a legit beef with her(You took my son's future, now I've taken yours).

And exactly how are Val'Kyr, Helya and Odyn connected to the Horde/Alliance conflict? Not at all. Those are third parties here

Yeah, and it was Sylvanas who attacked Gilneas. But I predict a truce will happen or what you said at the end.

We can assume that shortly before the attack on the broken shore the alliance and horde hold a truce. and this truce was broken by Genn, not Sylvanas

[EbaumsTipster]

if Shadows Fall is legit, what will the N'zoth avatar be? Wrathion? Genn?

[effs]

Looking forward to reading the book. Also wondering at what point she'll be overthrown, she has enemies everywhere.

[Deleted]

Not the biggest fan of Sylvanas, but I really do not want her to go the Garrosh route. Just let the Horde have a Warchief for more than one expansion cycle.

[Velaryia]

Can we get some WoD time travel up in here and make it tomorrow already?

Best post.

The prologue of the new novel was just revealed (and apparently that's okay with Blizzard, Wowhead says). I won't get into the details but it seems to be hinting towards faction conflict. Sylvanas has a plan to take on Stormwind.

However, the prologue starts in Silithus. And I think that's going to matter a lot more in the end than petty wars between Horde and Alliance.
