The War Within Alpha Development Notes - April 18, 2024

Yep, I'm coming back to check out shadowlands, the main reason, high elves and Nightborne customisations - strangely got me excited, even though get it, I'm a blood elf fan.. I guess the allied races are are really doing it for me.
Just me?

Probably not just you, but I'm guessing you're likely in the minority. Customizations alone weren't enough to get me into Shadowlands to begin with, so more customizations isn't going to do that.

Personally I rather have fun things to do than a pretty ken or barbie doll to play dress-up with but you do you.

Lots of people clearly disagree then, given how Allied Races were an extremely popular feature and the biggest redeeming factor of BFA. Originally Posted by Inoculate

Void elves and Nightborne now have better options than Blood elves and Night elves ---
does anyone have a problem with this? As a blodo elf fan, strangely it doesn't bother me.

Allied races were always advertised as "core races but better/cooler" so this shouldn't surprise you. Originally Posted by Beloren

I'd say warmode was the redeeming feature but... they couldnt just give us allied races could they.... no no no thats too easy. Gotta lock them behind a grind of boring rep Originally Posted by Varodoc

It's the point. To make them more exclusive. Because they are basically core races but enhanced in some way (Yes even diaper gnomes), they can only be played after meeting certain requirements. Otherwise they wouldn't feel special. Originally Posted by panda040

They need to feel special? Why not just put them in the game for anyone to play? Does anyone actually feel they are special because they are kultiran or a mechagnome? You just did a story quest and grinded rep Originally Posted by Varodoc

ill repeat - its nice but its not content.
people are bored and want new dungeons raids and content for casuals - this alone is almost meaningless in grander scheme of things.

The last time I canceled my sub (Legion), I returned due to the Void Elf announcement, so I personally understand how the excitement about essentially something cosmetic can really re-energize one's hype. It's awesome to hear that your interest is piqued!

Yes. Personally I felt special back in early 2018 when the Void elves were made playable. Originally Posted by panda040

Then, linked to Allied races, they also came up with the concept of Heritage armours which promoted levelling.

The changes to covenant/ash/conduit/alt/etc. systems make it fairly attractive for anyone who skipped over 9.1 or is interested in coming back and trying things out again.

I doubt it is just you. However you could be a small group of the minority.
These changes just aren't enough to get me to return to Boringlands. I will more then likely continue to enjoy my stay over at FFXIV until next expansion. And even then I would ha e to see how well Blizzard is listening to the player input to determine if I will return at all.Be careful who you chat it up with here on these forums. If you are NOT for WoW and about WoW, people will report whatever you say and get you banned

So you'll pay 13 moneys to log in and spend 1 hour at the barber shop? That seems to be great value.

Bluer eyes and blonder hair and whiter skin on an elf is apparently enough to get their $15. Lol this is the reason why the industry sucks these days.
