Well Blizz just earned themselves the cash for a race change. Now I just have to decide Tauren or Z Troll Warlock.

[McNeil]

That new mega dungeon could be so good if they don't cheap out on some awesome events from the past.

[Phaelia]

Oh lord I hope this opens the door for a Bard class in the future because now there is an open door for it. A girl can dream

[Fabled]

I feel like they could have came up with a better name for Infinite Chromie. Morchie just sounds dumb, Echomir was right there.

Please add some story regarding these new class/race combinations. Don't just add it in like that.

I completely agree. We've gone for how many years now with lore explaining why these races can't be these classes. Now all of the sudden they can

Yeah, a lore explanation's really going to be needed. Especially for NE's and Draenai.

[Unlimited Power]

I was anticipating that we'd get warlocks for all races ahead of the remaining classes that'll require custom racial models to be developed, like totems for shamans, mounts for paladins, DH customization options+Metamorphosis forms and finally shapeshifts for druids.

That said, I was hoping they'd at least go the extra mile to explain Draenei, Lightforged Draenei and Maghar Orc in a believable manner that is consistent with existing lore.

Guess that was too much work after all.

[Darknessvamp]

I honestly thought that post I read about there being someone at Blizzard desperately trying to get their goth girl infinite Chromie concept they've been jo'ing over the last few years approved was a joke, turns out all that desperation finally paid off.

Also looks like they're fully going Iridikron inheriting/siphoning Galakrond's power route.

Gross. About half of these races have no business ever being a warlock, especially Lightforged Draenei and Mag'har Orcs(which would turn green and just be...regular Orcs). And I bet they won't make customizations for the races that would logically have them with such a combo, like fel-twisted horns on Highmountain or red skin on draenei. Because the only reason those combos make sense is if they're former Eredar/Feltotem.

Might as well just turn everything into gray blobs. If lore doesn't matter we don't need art assets to represent that lore anymore.

This is probably a response to woke culture. you get to be something that biologically wouldn't make sense! IRL events/politics do not belong in video games.

[Powerogue]

Chromie's evil doppelganger is named Morchie and has dark eyeliner.

YES.

[baskev]

all ( almost all) sounds very cool. But the evoker spec sounds like a must for raids. So balacing that will be a nightmare.


but sigh....stop with all races all classes. That does not work :Warlock are kinda fell bad magic kind of people. SO night elves, lightforged ( hell even normal ones) ,pandaran, do not make sense.

[Maljinwo]

I don't mind most warlock races. An individual can make the choice to study fel magic
But fucking LIGHTFORGED?!

And still no troll beards. 0/10

NE warlocks can be actually Illidari, but casters instead of real DHs. Draenei could be eredar or sargerei... But Lightforged Draenei, that is really weird. That should be explained.

I have no idea why they do this. Is this such a requested feature? Might aswell just give every class combo to all races by now.

Yeah, those RL warlocks are a total plague…

Stop making every change in the game about politics and the woke-boogyman, Blizz just want to attract/keep players and sell a bunch of race-changes/level boosts, nothing more.

[fazaim]

I really dislike warlock for those races except maybe Night Elf who already have DH's who use fel and therefore have the door opened like that. But Mag'har makes no sense, Pandaren aren't really about that and Lightforged just, what... Can we go back to the roots soon? Can we let WoW be the fantasy world it was, that had its own template and lore? It's starting to feel like a private server.

[FelPlague]

that is and has been the plan for awhile now...
they want to give players free choice instead of feeling forced to not play a race/class they want because the race/class combo they want is not possible.
they added dk, priest, mage, rogue, warrior, monk, etc, they have been working on it. they needed lore for some, and now all that remains are

Druid= Unique animal forms
Shaman= Unique totems
Paladin= unique mounts
DH= unique metamorph form and tatoos
Evoker= whole insane can of worms.


warlcok was the last one that just needed lore, the rest will need unique models made for each, which means it will take a bit longer.

This right here. Some people in this game love combining their nasty ass politics with Video games. Utterly disgusting.

You are playing a video game and nothing in a video game should make sense. Especially this game. Plus anyways the Blizz team in the beginning gave a damn about this game. But this C team here now is another thing. They just want your subs and money. Nothing more.

[Xilurm]

You are playing a video game and nothing in a video game should make sense.

Things should make sense according to the rules/laws of the universe the devs/writers have created though. It's how consistency is kept. Otherwise everything would be a ball of mess.

[Gondule]

Blizzard is really kicking ass with these content drops this is the first time in a long time where an interim patch .5 to be more specific feels like a huge major patch. I really hope they can keep this content pace going into the years ahead, hopefully this isn't just for DF. Cause if the next Expansion goes back to their old ways of long content droughts then I'll feel the same I did leaving Legion and going into BFA/Shadowlands. Both BFA and Shadowlands had AWFUL content pacing. DF should be the new standard going forward and if they can keep this up they'll keep my sub.
