Vanilla PVP set and Transmog
Thanks for the info. 1 Small addition. Hunter Alliance transmog on my shaman. Its mail, but i cant transmog to it because its limited to hunter class. Will the Hunter transmog be avalable for me as well? Let me live the dream of the Golden Shaman
As it stands, this won't be possible as a Shaman can't equip gear with the Hunter class restriction. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Those are solved other ways. This change doesn't affect that anyway. Was HP-based, now AP-based. Neither vary by inc dmg. (Celestalon)

.Sorry, Could you please switch the BrM and Guardian crit passive?
Brewmaster already has a stat that gives avoidance. (Celestalon)

Druid (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
can you tell me if current lunar strike animation is a placeholder? (since it's the same animation of stellar flare)
Not placeholder; those are different visuals. (Celestalon)

Monk (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
if a monk talents into mistwalk, is it intended to replace transcendence?
Yes. (Celestalon)

PvE
Will there be a dmg/health bonus for MoP soloing similar to Cata/wrath etc? Just curious if that's in the works.
The existing bonuses are because Wrath/Cata items were squished; MoP items weren't. If we did another squish, we'd add a MoP bonus. (WatcherDev)

Misc
Ya know, Sporebats are one of my favorite creatures we've ever made. Super interesting, thematic, animations are iconic, and great cuddlers. (Celestalon)

Patch 1.27a is aimed at enabling this legacy title to run smoothly on contemporary operating systems, and the client now has improved compatibility with Windows 7 and above and Mac OS X. Take a look at the Warcraft III forum post for more information on the patch, and head over to the Battle.net Shop to grab your digital copy of the game.

We also released a similar patch for Diablo II. You can find more details on patch 1.14a on the Diablo II forum, and get your copy here.

Further updates are planned for both Diablo II and Warcraft III in the future, as we keep working behind the scenes to make sure you continue to have a great gaming experience. Details will be available as development progresses. Thank you for continuing to play these classic games!

    That's a pretty cool mount but I sure can't imagine a larger race like a Tauren on that thing. Looks good for Goblins and Gnomes though for sure.

    Live action Arthas/Illidan duel hype, yo.
    I'm feeling the same, this movie looks boring but if it does well enough then we can actually move on to the good stuff.

    I was worried the fox mount would have the clunky run animation of the wolf mounts, and I'm so glad to see that it looks natural and smooth! If I obtain this mount, I'll be using it regularly! It's adorable!

    No, you're not getting the timeline mixed up; the squish was indeed implemented in 6.0, as part of the leadup to WoD. However, because MoP was still current at the time, nothing at 90 was squished, and the exponential scaling of 90 gear was retained, so level 90 content was not given the same legacy damage buff that older content was given.

    Not technically correct. MoP was squished, but it was not squished the same way as previous expansions. Vanilla to Cata were squished into a linear progression, while MoP was squished but allowed exponential increases over the expansions content.

    Foxes are small, maybe a Gnome mount? Then they can run under the brush and duck under gates?
  1. Faroth's Avatar
    I've stopped playing WoW since the last expansion. I played a month to see the leveling story in WoD, but that was it.

    Now, I'm not saying I'm going to buy Legion to get a fox mount, but..... I might be buying Legion to get a fox mount. >_>

    I know the first thing i think about when it comes to Illidan, The legion & other demonic forces, is foxes.

    We all know foxes are the evil behind it all

    Well seems there is a worse mount than the my little pony mount. Take a bow blizz, take a bow
    I miss murlocks. Are there any in Legion, so far? They're like gnomes, they get no love these days.

    I'm not feeling them either, but it's probably got nothing to do with Blizzard, it's who Legendary subbed the work out to - and it's generic at best stuff. With the money they're putting into ad buys for this movie, I'd expect better - and they should have had the Blizzard art department make the posters. Blizzard is one of the best art departments in the country, if not the world, and it's a crime Legendary is making posters like this with the talent they have access to.

    For a franchise so rich in lore and art and style, these posters are a huge disappointment.

    I'll skip the detailed critique - others have already done it, in detail.

    Because she's only half an Orc, the other half is Human or Draenei. (They switched between those races in the lore)

    because garona, for the 100000th time, is half human.

    Try to relax. Everything you said is wrong, so no worries. In other words, no offense but stfu.

    1. That isn't some random black woman - that's Paula Patton who plays Garona Halforcen in the movie.

    2. I see that we will all have to buy that huge fishing bobber if we want to fish or our regular size bobber will be lost.

    3. I think they must already be thinking about a sequel to the movie. This is the first time I have noticed "The Beginning" below the title of the movie. But I could be wrong.

    I had the exact same thought. Though I guess it's more commonly "Lolth," I was introduced to the "Lloth" version of the D&D spider goddess' name when I first played, but maybe others aren't as familiar?

    However, with how blatantly Drow-themed the Nightborne are, you'd think Blizzard would have clued in that name being odd for a fox mount, especially when they're also introducing the spider.
