    What's going to be the dealbreaker for the rebel prince?
    Well, it'd be difficult to come up with a more shallow reason than both the Highmountain and Nightborne deciding they'd join in killing the Alliance.

    TBH though, until we see how armour can actually be added to the models then I'm not convinced on Mecha gnomes joining the Alliance. Especially with so many sets having extra parts now that fix on I"m not sure how it could even work if the arms were visible. Sure they have a great many face option, but their body geometry seems more for NPCS.

    That said, I'm kinda disapointed the new deep-sea Jinyu are clearly just NPC models. If it isn't mecha-gnomes, there aren't really any options in game at the moment for Alliances allied race to complement Vulpera.

    Hopefully there'll be a pant-version of the Mail set, but it seem as usual hunters get the most boring of the bunch :-/
    Mail and plate sets are attrocious.

    Cloth and leather look really good imo.

    So, are we really gonna ignore Wrathions own henchman spying on us in the dragon essence quests?

    Some of his moves are animated, not a whole lot yet though. Not sure how much of it is unique or not.

    The circle is nearly complete? This is a huge effect btw. I reckon it's part of the freeing n'zoth thing Azshara is doing in the raid.
    There are many circles around runes(?) in that image, and only 2 runes don't have circles.

    But could be something else entirely.

    EDIT: Another, without those circles around. And it has a water/portal like effect.

    They're all bad. Like, really, really bad. Like, they-should-have-scrapped-them-and-started-over bad.

    We lost class sets because "they were always the same" and "raid themed sets will be more interesting looking" and this is what we get.

    Maybe they looked fine as drawings or something, but it's hard to believe that the art team of WoW went through with such busy designs and terrible color palettes.

    Armor just makes the robot parts go away.

    The new transmog "hide everything but pants" probably has to do with Mechagnomes coming out.

    Red Shirt guy said Mechagnomes were on a special list alongside with the Vulpera. Chrchar or something like this, so if we could get a mechagnome model in the viewer ,maybe we can paste armor on him.

    There's no version of a no hunched Thrall? I mean, since Cataclysm he's been a straight back orc (the only one in fact). Would be weird if he didn't stand up straight when we get to see him ingame...

    Does that count as a circle of stars? ^^

    Considering there was absolutely no reason for Highmountain Tauren to join the Horde other than rejoining their Tauren kin, I assume that will probably be the same reasoning the Mechagnomes use for joining the Alliance.

    The Circle of Stars being a prison design that was only visible AFTER it was obvious Nzoth was being freed is pretty stupid.

    Like, that's interesting. Why are we visiting the dragons?!
    The first quest give to us from MOTHER require to gatherer dragon essences to empowering Heart of Azeroth... So I just take the first essence in Neltharion Lair and the next is into the Emerald Dream. Kalecgos and Ebonborn are now in the Heart of Azeroth chamber helping Magni with this essences...

    I dont know why we need dragons essence but are part of the process to empowering the HoA.

    Woof. Armor art has taken a nosedive since they dumped class sets.

    The new aspirant pvp sets are a lot better than the raid and full-blown pvp stuff.

    Yep. We were promised much greater variety and numbers of armor sets with this change. Instead we got... everything looks like questing sets.

  17. #5097
    Pvp blue sets (aspirant gear) look better than most gladiator/raid sets.

  18. #5098
    I'm actually in love with all of the armor in BfA so far and these all look great too. The only one I'm not fond of is the Horde arathi cloth set.

    They are fine in and of themselves. It just seems like a poor choice to pair with Vulpera. I feel Vulpera are too popular and would further push the imbalance between horde / alliance player populations. I doubt people would faction switch to play a Mechagnome. There will be people who would definitely switch for Vulpera. It would be Blood Elves again.

    There is literally a discord server for Vulpera as an AR - point me to the Mechagnome discord and I might change my opinion.

    This seems important ... It's a texture for something.
