BfA Patch Speculation thread (8.3 and later).

[George Costanza]

Welp, theres a new PTR build. Shadow Priest changes should be in this one.

Doubt it mate

[Sluvs]

Still waiting for the elusive shaman fix.

Anyone knows how big is the patch?

I wouldn't get too excited for a shaman fix.

They're probably slated for a total rebuild in 9.0.

Didn't Ion basically single them out as a class that needs fixing last Q&A?

[Marlamin]

Some here will probably like this, Blizz shipped a new dev map which seems to be a very early version of Stormsong Valley. Cool to see. Hopefully some vids popping up on the internet soonish.

Droped by mekkatorke... a Gallywix version of his mech.

We'll never get more Gnome themed mecha mounts, only goblin since Wotlk

[Kelthos]

Nisha says they were enslaved by Sethrak for generations at some point in the questing. That being said, I don't think even the Devoted care much for the Vulpera, I mean they certainly aren't hostile like the Faithless, but they seem to have little empathy for the Vulpera. Seems as though the Devoted only work with the Vulpera though the Horde Champion, and via the 8.1 quests, they certainly don't defend the Vulpera from the Alliance. I think Vorrik used the Horde and Vulpera (and the Alliance for that matter) as a means to an end. Namely, killing Korthek, resurrecting Sethraliss, Now that that's complete he seems to be more interested in reuniting the Faithless and Devoted under him.

Seems like they're neutral for now, and with Vulpera picking a side I suspect future questing/story will take place in 8.1 & 8.2 that will push the Sethrak towards the Alliance. I believe Nisha will play a role in it.

I don't think void elves will factor into it at all.

Could have the Vulpera get pissed that Vorrik is trying to reunite the Devoted and the Faithless so they begin attacking the remaining Faithless in pursuit of justice. The Horde turns a blind eye since they are trying to align themselves with the vulpera and the alliance sense an opportunity and swoop in to help the Sethrak fight the vulpera off. Boom. Alliance Sethrak.

Taelia is getting unique armor. Surprising absolutely no one, i believe.

[allegrian]

Frog mounts are Horde only. Yay.

hm? where is it?

I found it on marlamin's modelviewer, but it's already on wowhead as well.

No hint of the bee mount being added.

Yeah, it's kinda bullshit. Every mech mount so far introduced in the expansion is goblin-themed. Down to a damn Goblin version of Mimiron's head.

Now Mekkatorque can't even drop his own mech but drops some ugly totally unrelated goblin mech?

[rcshaggy]

Really hope that Anduin marries Taelia and the Wrynn Line doesn't die out from him being stupid like his dad...

Look into this detail too on Lor'themar Theron...

[KrakHed]

04: Free the Ensnared - Name changed from "04: Necessity Frees Invention" to "04: Free the Ensnared". Free the apothecary. Save Master Apothecary Faranell and Deathstalker Commander Belmont from the Druids of the Branch.

Have a nice day. It's always nice to see our boys in the blue doing everything they can to save Horde lives. Thanks Tyrande. That vengeance thing you're doing is great. Why don't you just vengeance up the whole Horde? It might tickle.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Nice his eye didn't magically get better.

Rastakhan will drop his sword. Pretty nifty, imo.

[Hugnomo]

It really is amazing how high rez and detailed Lor'themar is. Tyrande is going to be added in the same patch, and she looks really, really low rez in comparison, particularly her face. As if it wasn't enought that she was shafted in her storyline : / Her face looks low rez, her braids do was well, and they connect akwardly to the back. I do like her armor and overall look though.

what the hell...
Just.. WHY THE FUCK TYRANDE DIDN'T KILLED BELMONT,ARE YOU SERIOUS?
is rasthakan the only one of importance that the alliance kills or what?

It's really sad. Night elves get really no catharsis or revenge for their near genocide. Tyrande get's a power up and nothing comes of it, really anti-climatic.

"tides of vengeance, behold alliance!"
-don't want to press on the advantange because "we would be like sylvanas "
-goes their way avoiding killing civilians, thanks anduin!
-tyrande fail to stop nathanos and gets defeated.
-the time for mercy is over, teldrassil was lost because she "spared" saurfang... spares belmont 5 minutes later.
-they don't kill anyone of importance and the only one who will want revenge is talanji, the alliance isn't even attacking for that.

Can we get new writers?

You also forgot the part where among all of this they're also for no reason purging-with-fire civilian nomads with tentative ties to the Horde as a faction.
