    Don't even care about Sylvanas winning the fight anymore, the What's Next panel made up for everything and more. I couldn't be more excited, can't wait for tomorrow's panel.

    No class news, they’ve added a tower infinite dungeon and there’s a level squish? The covenant thing seems vague at best.

    Enjoyed the cinematic but not sure so far about what this expansion is supposed to be.
    There were class news. Specificially, they want to dial back spec identity a bit and go back to class identity, which necessitates some class changes.

    Covenants will decide your endgame quest campaign akin to how Horde/Alliance did for BfA, except you now get to choose between 4 and they aren't bound to your characters faction. Also get 2 active abilities dependent on your covenant.

    You're not picking those abilities blind I should mention. You get those abilties during leveling for that specific zone, then at the cap you pick your Covenant and get their abilities permanently.

    Might just be for the demo, he also said the class changes aren't implemented yet because the demo is about Bastion, not the revamps.
    I thought he did say there were class changes. Did he mean the full changes?

    Also I’m a little worried to walk into Ardenweald.. there are a lot of Clefthoof’s and Furbolgs that may remember us.

    BfA did most certainly NOT have this sorta positivity.
    Most people complained about more than they praised it.
    Only hype bfa had was just the cinematic trailer. I didn't actually saw people that much excited either (me included)

It's lazy, look back to legion and the start of BFA, I'm getting the feeling blizzard was planning an entirely different story. Since Metzen was around when they made the BFA cinematic and he was shocked by the results of said expansion, remember the writers did BFA because they felt they could do mop "better".

    Just look at the reaction between diablo iv and shadowlands, even FFXIV is throwing shade at shadowlands. This is the first time a wow cinematic hasn't got me hyped. I honestly think the wow team hasn't learned their lesson.

    With the ability de-pruning and the 2 Covenant skills, i hope they add more macro slots and ability bars. As a shaman i can't even make more macros and i only have macros for 2 specs.

    Sure some classes i hardly fill up the main bar, but some classes have still way too much buttons and they are still talking about adding more and giving us some back...

    Hope the shaman rework won't have to wait for 10.0 this time.

    Salty we did not get a transmog revamp announced though, would make me accept close to anything if teh collectable transmogs for my hunter quadrupled, would certianly keep me busy for a while even with nothing worhtwhile to do in the endgame.
    The thing is, how should 8.3 carry us until September? It doesn’t even have a new zone. They didn’t even mention 8.3.5, only the pre patch which is the Scourge invasion (or did I miss something?).

    I mean sure I very much anticipate all the finetuning to system but... it feels like in the end it contains so little. It just reminds me a lot of WoD at this point (still I am more optimistic towards Shadowlands).

    At least on your first character. Once you capped, any subsequent chars can pick a covenant immediately upon entering the Shadowlands.


    Stewards look suspiciously similar to Moonkin...

    Guessing full changes. Because yeah some stuff is in, like Holy Power is apparently gone for Pallys. But the crazy stuff (he mentioned stuff like all Warriors having shield block) is probably held back. So you're not relearning rotations.

    I'm mostly of the same mind, but rewatching the intro cinematic still makes me feel bitter about how it went down. It's not really even a problem that Sylvanas won, the problem is how easily she won. Even Saurfang was able to put a scratch on her, but the Lich King can't? She should've lost something.

    She fights like a god-emoting roleplayer. It's so annoying.

    oh right. But I thought we were talking about his she died normally, where would she end up =p

    Considering Wildhammer dwarf will be a customization option I'm almost positive they'll do the same with high elves.

    8.3.5 will likely have two or three more BFA Allied Races. I'm not sure what else it would include, though all the lovey dovey text might imply a Love is in the Air revamp?

    Yeah and the ability that’s not class specific is completely pointless. Something for mobility etc. The Bastion skills sounds like a fun skill but is very unimpressive.
