Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Highwhale]

Except they always keep things even when it comes to actual player options.

*Looks at female Worgen and cut of Alliance content in Cataclysm* Yeah no worries.

Hey, at least they actually admitted the fucked up on that one, something that rarely happens with Blizzard. Sigh. The alpha version of the female Worgen was perfect, too. I remember having the exact one chosen for my Warrior, who I wanted to race-change.

[Maxilian]

Since I am unlikely to get Alpha any time soon, does anyone know a good playthrough video of Zuldazar?

Noobel is always nice and good

[DercMerc]

*Looks at female Worgen and cut of Alliance content in Cataclysm* Yeah no worries.

Except female worgen were a result of player feedback. Content gets cut all the time, and yeah, it sucks-- but it sucks for everyone, because shit gets cut from both sides.

But hey, you do you and keep pretending the boogie man of Horde biased Blizzard is out to get the Alliance.

And before you assume I play Horde, I play both factions. Imo, Alliance is getting the cooler druid forms in BfA. Again, can't wait to see what other options they have. Really looking forward to it.

[Mutineer]

I'm not on board the faction bias train by any stretch, and I don't think it's necessarily fair to still be salty over mistakes they made 8 years ago, but I do think their policy of not touching live content is a little worrisome.

"Yeah, we messed things up. What? No, we're not going to fix it. Sorry!"

Yeah, I'm still waiting on the worgen and goblin update, too. Soon, apparently.

Honestly, I'm still a little miffed we got model updates at all during WoD. Imagine how much better all the models would be if we had gotten it in an expansion that wasn't half-assed.

Getting Kul'tirian druids is a pretty big positive. Like I said about the Void Elves, there will be plenty of ppl who love the Kul'tirians.

[Jastall]

Grom had a serious warrior-boner for the Night Elves. Honestly, if they could've found some more common ground, I feel like they would've become friendly rivals, or maybe even allies. Night Elves and Orcs having 'testing raids' against each other or meeting up to spar. The Orcs showing they're not all savage by teaching the Elves about their Shamanism, and the Elves showing why they so revere and respect nature by teaching the Orcs about their Druidism.

Nope, they were a pretty race so in vanilla they got lumped in with the light-worshiping, civilized humans and dwarves that are literally on the other side of the world because obviously that makes sense.

Right?

Things are subjective. There are races that aren't my jam. There are races I enjoy that others don't. Personally, I love the aesthetic of the Kul Tirans. Throw in what looks to be Celtic-inspired mythology (maybe with a few Eastern European twists here and there), and you have the makings of what may be one of my favorite races.

Except it always Alliance content that get cut? Back in Cataclysm they started develop Horde first. Now I have deja'vu.

Noobel is always nice and good

I hate Nobble - hes noob and watching as he playing is painful. Ever saw his W3 playthrough? God it was so PAINFUL to watch when you ladder player.

Also his stupid jokes and accent. Even I as russian hate it.

As insufferable as Nobbel is, he can't match your english.

Horde favoritism is a meme: always has been, always will be.

[The Stormbringer]

And thus Blizzard learned and accepted that sometimes they shouldn't listen to player outcry, because many times it is unfounded and only a very vocal minority.

His accent and the way he pronouce is also putting me off. I refuse to watch his videos because of that.

I just watched Bellular's video on the zone changes and every time he said "Aerith-high" instead of Arathi my asshole puckered just a little tighter.

[Lex Icon]

The Alpha really shows how necessary mog is in Warcraft to me, I just can't enjoy most classes I can make cause there are no good mog options Wish we could copy characters (but I guess then they'd have to deal with the Artifacts and the legendaries).

meh that's an issue with live aswell.. unless you consider bodypaint with some stuff glued on good.. i'm really hoping we get some of these coats and stuff shown from the data mining.

i'd sacrifice 10 raids not to look like shit in this game :P

Character copies always came later in the Alpha or Beta, didn't they? And at least the legendaries can't be a problem, because you can buy all Legion legendaries in Stormwind from a vendor. They could just disable the artifacts.
I think they will do this, once they're ready to have you copy your characters over.

lol
I'd take one word wrongly pronounced over entire jarring sentences. But yeach each to it's own. I am not that much looking for youtubers, but Nobbel and tradechat are my "no go zones" xD

[EbaumsTipster]

All WoW youtubers who speak in their videos are hot garbage. I don't know if there's something about the game that infects you and makes your voice as obnoxious and irritating as humanly possible or maybe it's the fact that 99.9% of Youtubers put on an annoying facade to make money, maybe a little of column a and a little column b.

If I wanted to listen to some obnoxious fuckers talk in an annoying way in order to make money I'd just go to work.

I usually prefer YouTubers who put their commentaries in subtitle form.
