Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

that wolf mount looks nothing like the WoD wolves we saw.

I'm not too familiar with datamining stuff, but seeing as this only got added with this build, is it safe to assume we won't see the burning till 8.0, and not in a 7.x patch as some speculated?

Not necessarily, no.

Crazy speculation but what if the pre-event is Teldrassil. In that Teldrassil will be an actual world event that progresses slowly over time like the BC/Wrath/Cata events. And then Battle for Undercity becomes available in like the final week before the expansion.

Would make sense if Darkshore is specifically a phase and not a scenario.

I've only ever seen it speculated as part of the pre patch, which is usually x.0

Just had this discussion with a friend, hah.

Mag'har just means uncorrupted. So really, the Draenor orcs are still Mag'har. They just didn't get there in the same path/method as our Mag'har.

It's weird, but makes sense I guess? Draenor orcs are by definition Mag'har, they just have never called themselves that.

Draenor orcs are mag'har, but outland orcs are The Mag'har (capitalized)

Oooh, I like this. Count me in.

The thing is, after 7.3.5 an Alliance player questing in Suramar or Highmountain is left with quite the bitter taste. Oh hey I am helping these people and after I solve all their problems they'll go help the Horde and murder Alliance soldiers in Stormwind.

Same shit with helping the Lightforged or giving Alleria the Horde-hating character the means to empower herself which leads to Hot Topic Elves being all over the place. Not sure why Highmountain and Suramar are singled out. Helping factions that later try to kill you is fairly common in WoW due to players having 0 agency in the story. I helped the Dragonmaw and then they backed Garrosh so I killed them, for instance.

I still hope they change their mind about it and limit it to Outland Mag'har. All WoD should ever amount to in the big picture is a contrived plot device to bring back Gul'dan, the less it is mentioned the better.

So we should get less Orc customization because of opinions? I will be disappointed if we can't have gray or white orcs because of "muh WoD"

[Renley]

Basically. I think they're going to end up becoming Mag'har though, under Grommash. Seems the direction they are going. He banded together all the clans after we left, renamed all the clans under one name, the Mag'har.

Which makes it all the more terrific.

Draenor wolves are inbred dogs compared to this puppy.

There a lot of Wolf Mounts...
The Vanilla ones, ones from Mists of Pandaria, the ones from Warlords, and then that new mount they just made.

WoD wolves are maned wolves

that new wolf mount looks like a worg or saber worg in HD

If it requires AU time-traveling orcs to enter the MU? No thanks.
That said there's really no reason why the various orc clans' skin colors wouldn't apply to the Outland Mag'har in retcon.

because we have wolf's, direwolfs, worgs and we have some hybrids.

That ship seems to have sailed. Might as well embrace the grey orc at least.

Deep Sea Bandage (New) Craft a Deep Sea Bandage. Tailoring. Instant. Reagents: Deep Sea Satin.

Looks like first aid merged with tailoring

[Ramz]

PH Pterrordax Mount (New) - Ground Mount. PH Pterrordax Mount. "Once a little hatchling, raised into a mighty pterrordax by a loving handler. He never did learn to fly, though." Source: Drop: PH



Blizzard are you ok????

that is really odd considering that they do fave flying animation and I saw them on video as flying mounts (they're beautifull)

[Renley]

Oh snap, yeah. All the First Aid achievs becoming Legacy. Interesting. I can't say I'm sad to see it go? I don't think I've actually used a bandage all expansion(not sure about others). I'm okay with this change.

I almost forgot there was a wolf model too from Wrath...
A lot of wolves that Blizzard Entertainment created.

Yeah, I hope that at least eventually they make them flyers. If they don't - at all - that'll be ridiculous.
