Blizzard at Comic Con, Dalaran Event, 5.1 Scenarios, Blue Tweets, Weekly Roundup

[Sindrasa]

Finally some blood elf lore! I wander if we will get to destroy dalaran > or even better jaina.

[topitopi]

I sure hope the Vol'jin focus means he's our new Warchief or at least head of a Horde council

[Yig]

That Vol'jin art is not from the new project. One is from Wei's painting for Blizzard's anniversary, the other is from Ludo Lullabi's faction leader short story image on the website.

I'm reading more...

Blood Elves being setup for maybe a neutral faction or allow people to do a quest to change sides (Pandas being the test for the tech).

Also the play with Dalaran...perhaps it is time to return it to Eastern Kingdoms.

I love the increased activity with the Vol'jin and Lorthemar. It is about time.

[Apathy -]

Ko'kron attacking Vol'jin? Oh boy makes me hate Garrosh even more

[Ayrhlan]

Well maybe Aethas just sounds that way because he was attacked or seized and isn't in his optimal condition...

I'd reckon we all would sounds weird if we got pulled from our bed and seized/ or wake up to find out our faction brethren are captured.

[Nathiest]

When we going to see ret pally's buffed? TV hits too low. Bored of being kicked for low DPS even though gear, stats fine?
We think Ret is pretty competitive in raids right now.

lol competitive compare to whom the raid healer?!

Jaïna is the only one real woman doing something in the big muscle men game Warcraft, so no and I hope never.

[Nephyron]

Starfall is bugged and even if the tooltip states a different mechanic for that spell, Ghostcrawler think it's fine if the spell is bugged because it should out burden to make it work the best way possible.

Learn to apologize and fix you s**t damned stoned useless man !

I know...I was excited when I saw the link and was like 'Ooh! New arts?' Nope.....been staring at those as reference material for the past 4 hours for my own drawings.

[The Ogdru Jahad]

Lor'themar's voice reminds me of something from Avatar the last airbender!

Ret is fine, you probably are not if you're only doing competitive damage as that of a healer. Blizzard have the numbers to back up their claim.

"When will they see the Horde exists BECAUSE of the Alliance?"

Probably the most intelligent thing a character has said in about 3 expansions.

The Horde exists because the Orcs partied with demon blood and came into Azeroth. Hell, that's even why the Alliance exists.


Vol'jin Scenario
"Fend off the Kor'kron Ambush"

I wonder if this means that Garrosh sent the Kor'kron to assassinate Vol'jin while he was deep in the heart of Pandaria with no one to know what happened to him, or if the Kor'kron are sha-infected and are acting out because of that.

[lvlark]

Now it seems like reforging is all math and no gameplay value. Any thoughts?
We agree. The original intent was to solve being over caps, but we don't like the cascade that happens when you get a new piece.

I don't know what to say to this. For every piece of gear that I went to gem/enchant/reforge I was thinking 'by the light why have they added reforging. As if there isn't enough we have to do with our stuff already', and now they finally agree that reforging isn't what they thought it would be. I know this tweet doesn't exactly imply that reforging will be gone in 5.1, but it's a good step in the right direction.

Well, considering that the Kor'kron are Garrosh's personal elite soldiers and he's been filling their ranks with Blackrock Clan members, and in Tides of War had them assassinating people who publically disagreed with his policies, I'm gonna say that yeah, Garrosh ordered it. Plus, quest dialogue where Thrall talks about their supreme loyalty to the Warchief position means some will unfortunately have to be killed, even though they're just acting on orders.

[Dustdevil]

Lor'themar sounds like someone who works at MSNBC with all the racist emo talk.

[Ikkarus]

Hmmm, new model, a book, I feel that Vol'jin has many chances to be the Blizzard choice for the new Warchief of the Horde...

They has new orc models (Garrosh, Thrall), New Night Elf models (Malfurion, Tyrande), New High/Blood Elf models (Nozdormu), and now new Troll models (Vol'jin and the Zandalari), what they are waiting to update the playable race models?

[Lowlight23]

It seems like Blizzard uses Trolls way too much in adding content. BC we got troll raids added, WOTLK we got ZulDrak (from launch, but still a frustrating zone), Cata we got rehashed Troll dungeons, and now that MoP is out we get... surprise surprise, MORE TROLLS!!

I'm sure I'm not alone in people being annoyed with all the added Trolls. Please for the love all that is holy, stop with the Trolls!!!

I agree with this completely. I know they're hesitant to update the models due to people being attached to their corrunt form, but at some point they need to just make the switch. With so many new players to the game and with the new life updated player models will breath into the game, Blizzard will see much more positive praise for updating the player models than they expect to get for doing so.

[mstieler]

Excited to see Vol'jin's new model. Also, judging from the steps of the scenario it seems like Garrosh sends Vol'jin in to handle some Saurok problem, but then further sends the Kor'kron in to try and kill Vol'jin. So Garrosh wants to get rid of him. That war crime can't be too far ahead.

Garrosh has been trying to kill Vol'jin (at least) since Tides of War. Near the end, he has the Kor'kron explode a bar that Vol'jin & Baine had been talking at, killing others that had been unhappy with how Garrosh handled the Theramore deal.

[Gilian]

Shadow AoE damage is so low, there are some fights I've seen healers do more damage. Is there any intention to fix this?
We want priests to multi-dot a lot in AE situations, not just spam Mind Sear.

Then why do we have Mind Sear? Maybe I haven't played priest long enough yet but if you are multi dotting on 4+ targets then you don't even have time to use Mind Sear. It is rather confusing what priests should do in AE situations. We have an AE spell but we shouldn't be using it?
