Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Tartys]

Why "vulpera" are not a playble race and why are not a bite more cute?

[Danare]

I also loved Jaina's new model. So beautiful

[Colonel Sandor]

Already planning out 4 characters

My Main: Zandalari (race changing if I can) Hunter
Orc Shaman
Human Mage
Dark Iron Warrior

[Shadochi]

So that was an interesting What's Next panel. But which one of the millions of Leaks we had hit the closest to the real deal?

We had an actual leak (even mentioning Azerite) can someone link it?

[Fahrad Wagner]

I know right? It's so distracting. Like a train wreck I can't divert my eyes from it.

I like you more and more with each post Feali, you're a quality person on this wretched forum.

Out of nowhere

I'm sad they're throwing her in the mix like this. She deserved better.

--

More generally, here are my thoughts:

- Art for both Kul Tiras and Zandalar is breathtaking, I love it.
- Happy to see Tortollans even if it's just as NPCs
- Intrigued at Void Elves
- Excited af for Zandalari
- Intrigued at how Teldrassil will be burned down when it's the night elf starting zone and there is no revamp and leveling zones are in Cataclysm era
- Azshara art looks cool, I imagined her more... impressive though. A bit disappointed they're throwing her in without much of a context but that being said I'm waiting to see if they'll tell us more
- Not convinced by Azerite
- Not convinced by this islands AI thing
- Wondering if language barrier is removed as Genki foretold
- Intrigued to see if we'll get more customisation for existing races or anything

[Maxilian]

I wonder what's going to happen to the Exodar and Silvermoon...

The Exodar could move, and Silvermoon... well... you gotta explain the Void Elf somehow (Sunwell corruption 2.0 incomming?)

[KayRule]

Wow, they did it. An expansion with tons of varied content at the start for players of all tastes and sizes.

Glad it wasn't stupid Naga shit or an escalation to Void Gods right away....that would be STUPID and I can't believe idiots thought they would actually do that.

The only people upset are morons for once.

[Ragnarocket]

What? You realise this would be Azshara's WoD? Why are people complaining? We have no fucking idea how she'll be presented.

It better be...or the story line better have a really good hook and conclusion. What I don't want to see is Azshara just coming out of Naz'jatar going "Ooooh such pretty Azerite! I shall have it all!", she steals some, we go down and take her out and Naz'jatar was all just a quick Broken Shore experience.

[pauloaqm]

So... no boats with followers and stuff? We are not getting any system like garrisons and order halls?

[Tartys]

I want to know more about Jaina. Hopefully there are more details later but I doubt it

I f* hope Azshara doesn't get killed. That would be my biggest WoW disappointment ever if she's just a Blackhand or Elisande.

Maybe she escapes before we kill her and sets N'zoth free?

Jaina is the new Elsa from Frozen.

[bearlolzx]

Damn 60-80 burning crusade might actually be enjoyable.

[Shadochi]

The lorecraft panel is on the VT!

[Kelthos]

So that was an interesting What's Next panel. But which one of the millions of Leaks we had hit the closest to the real deal?

The one that leaked the expansion down to a tee including the name and "allied races" that would be present, I'd say.

[Varolyn]

Does anyone else notice, at least from the screen shots, that the zones appear more "open?" Like the Broken Isles felt very packed with locations in the zones, while these new zones seem to resemble more of the open spaces that we have seen in Uldum and Dragonblight.

[Hitei]

Ok, this basically fully confirms Genkis leak. He said N'zoth will be the true villain of the expansion, while the factions battle each other.
I'm almost sure he'll be the final boss.
Hakkar will be the endboss for the first raid

lol.
He also said it would be called Shadowfall (Wrong)
That we'd be crafting our own weapons in place of Artifacts (Wrong)
That the new zones would be KT, Northern Plaguelands, Tel Abim, Kezan and Zandalar (Wrong)

[KayRule]

Why "vulpera" are not a playble race and why are not a bite more cute?

They better get added as Worgen Allied race in patch content.

[Nition]

We had an actual leak (even mentioning Azerite) can someone link it?

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.


That was the leak, I don't know who posted it.

[Whatever Dude]

I know most people don't give a flying fuck about PvP but Warfronts being PvE only and opting out of World PvP is a kick in the gut.

I get that they are saying it's supposed to be a foundation but if they don't reassure me in the Gameplay panel then I don't have much trust in that system.

[Deleted]

Why "vulpera" are not a playble race and why are not a bite more cute?

Who knows. We might recruit them as Allied Races. They said we'd get more allied races.

[Grimfrost]

No new worgen/gob models so far, don't let me down blizz!
