Patch 7.3.5 - Allied Race Unlock Requirements, Art Contest Winners, Vanion, DLC #615

*lights a candle* RIP Vanion. Shame that it's usually drug related if no speculation is wanted.

Or alcohol given when it occurred.

[Plehnard]

I feel like the quality of fanart has really fallen. Half of these pictures seem to be only half-finished.

That's what they get for making it for North America only. I would have participated if I could've.

Dark Iron Dwarves and the Zandalari are the 'BFA' races in that we'll have to do BFA content in order to unlock them. It's not too surprising we haven't received a lot of information about then, and makes it all the more likely that the other four are in fact being released sooner rather than later.

That said, I feel like they should increase rep gains for the Army and Reach by quite a bit. Make it so that the Argus campaign takes you all the way to revered at least, and have the WQ's that award rep tokens active more frequently. I play Horde myself but right now it doesn't exactly seem fair that Alliance players will have to farm for 1/2 months to get their reputations to exalted, when the Horde races can be unlocked within a week.

I'm waiting for the "horde" bias for unlocking the allied races. Its been what 2 years to get the rep for the horde ones but a few months for the alliance?

[Dracullus]

Still barely any news on Dark Iron Dwarves, which is very odd.

They're beginning to feel like 'the afterthought' where side races are concerned.

News for you: you will unlock Dark Iron during questing in Kul Tiras. So it will be datamined in 8.0 Alpha, not 7.3.5 PTR.

*lights a candle* RIP Vanion. Shame that it's usually drug related if no speculation is wanted.

German news sites are saying it's a suspected accidental overdose but cannot rule out suicide due to "current events" that they don't wish to release to the public yet.

As someone who works in psychology with "suicide survivors," it's never an accidental death when families/friends get angry to the question of "How'd they die?"

How do I get exalted with Highmountain Tribe in a week?

[Faroth]

To unlock void elves and lightforged Draenei, I'm assuming those factions are the last two introduced in Legion? I'll need to come back and play through all of Legion's final patch stuff and get to exalted to unlock them, yes?

I think I've already got both Horde Allied Races unlocked and I don't have a single Horde character. D'oh!

[psiko74]

Allied races are the only thing that will get me to resub before BfA.

Hey if i have 2 of the achievments ( and the rep) on 1 char and then the 2 other achievments ( and rep) on another char i should be fine right ?

[lichbane]

Or pre-order. Old zone level scaleing and new races both being in the same patch, gives it a good chance that pre-orders will start soon after which gives people that buy BfA something to do (level/gear new characters) while they wait for release.

Fuck pre-order being a requirement. Physical CE orders get screwed again.

[Osseous]

Why do we need to have an existing 110 on the server?

I currently have all my characters on 2 servers... one horde, one alliance. All slots full of highly leveled characters. I don't have any 110 characters off on another realm, and I don't have any slots available to create a new character on the realms I play on.

So, right now, unless I pay for a character transfer, I won't be able to level up the new races.

[Theodarzna]

Usually if you buy a "preorder" for the physical CE you get the preorder key code in an email... though I could be wrong.

I'll pre-order for the Void Elf aesthetic and the Chad Forged Draenei.

[tkioz]

So do connected realms count for this server unlock stuff?

I thought we were getting 6 character slots per server added?

[tkioz]

Account wide supersedes realms. So if you unlock on one character, it will unlock for all realms/characters.

Yeah but it says you need to have a 110 on that server, which is why I'm wondering. All my 110s are one realm, all horde, where as my alliance are on the connected realm and aren't 110 yet.

[Ealyssa]

One of the 2 Dwarf subraces that people have been asking for since Vanilla? Pretty good choice.

Cause a color skin really is a subrace...

[Super Kami Dende]

Cause a color skin really is a subrace...

Normal Dwarf.
Dark Iron Dwarf.

Yep sounds like a subrace to me.

This has never and likely will never be a thing. Physical-CE preorders get nothing until the box arrives on their doorstep for 14 years.

You can preorder digitally and order the physical CE as well. When the physical CE arrives, and you put in the key on your account, they will refund you the digital pre-order price. At least they have been last couple of expacs.

They don’t actually refund you the price, they just give you new key you can sell/share/use yourself for a ‘free’ boost.
