Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Vynestra]

Here's a question. It says six new playable races, but we've only seen 4. Which are the next 2? SPECULATE!

They're in the trailer, dark iron dwarves and some new trolls.

Zandalari and Dark Iron.

Pity, we apparently aren't getting Mag'har. How stupid.

Parrot mount? Yes please!

Parrots are birds.

Birds fly.

Flying at launch confirmed.

(legit, why show a flying mount in a video that's launch content?)

[MiiiMiii]

No new features announced in the opening ceremony is bad for retail for sure

[Jodmos]

New races need and unlock. That's not great. Would have preferred cosmetic for the races that worked (like the draenei, but not voidelf) Guess they couldn'#t make moeny from race changes by that.

revamp!!!!!

there is no revamp silly

[Tisane]

We rename this thread!

Rename it to "Official Patch 9.0 Speculation"

[Jastall]

Eeeeehhhh.

The faction war theme really doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, Blizzard just can't write well enough for that sort of conflict to be interesting. It's also really forced since we just had an entire xpack that was literally all about banding together to defeat the Legion because Horde and Alliance were hammered and useless. But now we're back to killing each other for the sheer lulz of it because fur da herd?

2 continents, means I'll need to dust off the Alliance alt to experience half the story? Eh, there are worst things I suppose. But I assume the endgame zone will be elsewhere.

Sub-races as expected. Zandalari, Nightborne and Lightforged Draenei seem cool.

Seems AP comes back in the form of that armor thing. I assume that means no more Artifact weapons.

I dunno, I'm not getting great vibes. Seems like a filler expansion with a faction conflict that will of course go nowhere to make us wait for the inevitable Old God/Void Lord shenanigans. The cinematic looked cool as hell tho.

Deep dive panel here we go

Ion has new t-shirt

[Micronetic]

New Ashran?

[Merryck]

whats next panel has started!

[Babyrobot]

Honestly it sounds trash and low on features.

I won't be playing it.

[Archmage Alodi]

So uh, there's this thread now and there's a new Alpha/Beta thread. Do we rename this thread, and close the other one or do we all move to the new thread and close this one?

someone already made another thread for alpha beta.

[Nyel]

OMG I want these as a new playable race

[Mhyroth]

So why we are mad at each other again ?
We walk in hand in hand against the Legion and Sergei and now what ?

To sell stuff.

[Camthur]

Can't believe I'm saying it, but I can't wait to see what warfronts are about. I usually don't care much about pvp or faction conflict, but I'm intrigued.

[Edlarel]

Loving the announcement of both Classic Servers and BfA. Here's hoping Classic will set us to a point just before they made changes for Burning Crusade, so we can raid OG Naxx and AQ20/40. I just missed those (dinged 60 right after expac released), so going back to enjoy them and work toward the legendary staff would be awesome.

::Things I want to see out of CS::
Balance for class specs. As much as I loved the idea of vanilla, I don't want to be cornered into playing just a Prot warrior.
That's really it. Everything else can remain as it was (I'll probably think of other stuff later).

::Things out of BfA::
Will reply back again after the What's Next Panel.

[delphiskye]

here we go lets see what the races are

[Theoris]

I'm surprised we're getting another Horde vs Alliance storyline. I guess nobody wants to be the guy to point out that that Azshara and an Old God are still around.
