New build - 25727 PTR

Another content build. Does anyone remember when Blizzard didn't ship content build this time of year? I do.

All the leaders in SW embassy have dialogue now.

Makes sense to push things along if they want to wrap up 7.3.5 and move into BFA testing.

Lor'themar is no longer in the Org Embassy.

End of the year push, I believe this happened during Cataclysm and MoP where they pushed builds pretty fast and multiple ones at times before their Christmas/New Years break. I think this might have even happened last year with the Legion builds.

If the Alpha rumors are true, this isn't too surprising in my opinion.

My bet is someone at Blizzard saw this post you made yesterday and decided to prove you wrong. https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...1#post48382700

Sure, makes sense but still a new record. This build is compiled 2 days later into December than any other build in December before.

I did mention it was uncharted territory!

True. To be fair though, I think this was mostly due to the fact that previous Alphas were already up by then. It sounds like they're looking to have some kind of Alpha testing in these coming weeks so I can imagine why they'd be putting a little bit of extra hours into pushing builds so close to the break.

Seems like we are getting allied races during 7.3.5/before 8.0 for sure by the amount of changes to them in the last 2 builds. If they accidentally ended up in the first 7.3.5 builds we wouldn't still be seeing updates to them since blizz would be more aware.

hard content, or like recent builds with mostly just random dusting of npcs?

we are getting allied races ing 1.12 released with naxx

Lor'themar is no longer in the Org Embassy.

Makes sense. Chronologically one would:
> go to the embassy to pick up the quest
> go with Liadrin to Silvermoon to meet with the Nightborne and Lor'themar

No point of him being there.

[Gurmech]

I hope you can unlock the allied races quests on both factions, like, I hope I don't need to do the nightborne stuff on horde aswell in order to unlock them.

[Drekmar]

They added unlock requirements for all allied races! It's basically exalted rep + story quests in location.

[Ningjinq]

Ya that really needs to be answered. Maybe datamining can hint at it?

[George Costanza]

Exalted argus shit, shut the fuck up blizzard get out.

[Shadochi]

If only.
Wonder on what number of allied races we would be now if that happened.

[Ningjinq]

Tbh, while on paper requiring exalted with Argussian Reach to unlock velves makes sense, that is one long grind. Faaaar longer than the other 3 and Nightborne in particular.

They really need to double the rep gains from Army of the Light and Argussian Reach wqs.
