Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Seramore]

Wow, Uldir looks awesome, looks a lot better than what I expected it to be. G'huun is looking to be nicely sized as well.

[EbaumsTipster]

There is actually a map in the game called Thros, the blighed lands. No idea what the purpose of it is yet. But since it's already in game I assume were going there for something. From what I can gather it was added a couple of builds ago.

Honestly looks like confirmation that Drust = Vrykul. The tomb is the same kind as the ones from Stormheim.

Maybe this is where you go for the big reveal?

[Raetary]

yep looks great. I hope they will make something about the lighting though. It's a bit too dark imo, in some parts at least.

Probably will. Looks still WiPish to me but good nonetheless.

Scenarios got OP rewards? What did they yield besides Valor Points, which you got from pretty much anything else, too?
]

The daily valor was important to people to boost their ez gear from SoO, especially after it was allowed to have double upgrades (4x IIRC)

Otherwise they were useless and a 5 minute zerg fest. Oh no put out the fire, run down the hill and kill the Saurok climbing the mountain, ride around the path oh no a really big one attacking the temple ! Zerg 2 seconds later ggbye swap character.

The ones with actual objectives like pick up bananas and stuff I think were /logoff level bad.

Old Gods were never the nicest things to look at. That said, when I saw G'huun's concept art, I was like "Oh god ewwwwww." Not in a bad way though.

malfurion is only strong because of his magic.
sylvanas counters magic users(banshee wail)

malfurion is screwed.

Malfurion is prepared for her and has all the powers of Nature at his command. He won't hear her scream unless he wants to.

why are there so many fungi in there, im confused is he the loa of blood or loa of fungi?

[tristannarutofan]

Uh neither hes pestulence and disease. Blood is one of his domains because it harbers disease.
I think yall are confusing what blood god means. Usually it means a dark god requiring sacrifice and since blood is life essence

All humans are descended from Vrykul. Some may have kept more of the old ways.

Except the Drust being Vrykul Druids hasn't been revealed yet and Blizzard is being very coy about them. It may serve as an explanation for Kul Tiran druids/why the playable ones are so large.

Tbh, judging by how many (and I’m not trying to be insulting) completely awful players there are that do Timewalking (which has no difficulty options) I think there’s definitely a good sized audience that enjoys non-difficult exploratory content like scenarios and normal mode island explorations.

There’s a preview of the novella with the CE edition up and there is 1 line by a Forsaken I found particularly enjoyable: “I would have thought they were obvious,” he said. “Were the intelligent ones the first to die? Oh wait, there are no intelligent night elves. A troll got another commander’s ears, you know. He’s wearing them now.”

You know, I know he probably means the troll is wearing them around its neck on a string or something, or hanging off its belt, but I instantly pictured, and still do after thinking about how silly this is, the troll wearing the nelf ears over its own ears like little hats. It doesn't even make sense because ears aren't hollow like that, but that is what I visualized. And I giggled.

We could use a major Night Elf casualty. Malfurion is a good choice, especially after he annoyed the shit out of everybody in Legion. We all know Sylvanas isn’t going anywhere.

literally everyone would get one shot if someone blasted their head off with a pistol barely a centimeter away.

how the fuck is this an argument?

That scenario made no sense. Sylvanas purposely landed on giant saronite spikes when she leapt off the Citadel cause she knew she’d survive the fall otherwise, but a damn bullet one hit KOs her.

Plot armor is as effective as the plot demands itto be.

Still don't know who the two cloaked figures are from the artworks from the Burning of the Treddrassil...

Yep. But then they just brought her back 2 minutes later which made the whole thing even dumber. They could have had Godfrey blow her up with a magic bomb or something, lol.

Thrall and Vol'jin!!! No way, my tinfoil hat theory is right
