Blood elf lore is about to be reduced to a dumpster fire in Shadowlands when they give them blue eyes as a cosmetic option.

We can only hope they don't.

I have the perfect armor for her. It's called a cell in the Maw, where she belongs. She fears Hell, and now her fate is going to be her trapped in Hell. Perfect Irony. Watch.

Hey, that's not armor..

How the hell did Ogron end up in Azeroth?

Not gonna lie. I was hoping we'd get new starting zone armor/weapons. Y'know, something basic but HD. Would've been a good way to give us something new but down to earth.

How the hell did Ogron end up in Azeroth

Mag'har: ..........AHEM



I.E. When the Mag'har were fleeing from the Abberation of lore called Yrel and her Light zealots on Draenor, they brought some other creatures to Azeroth.

Maybe the implication is that they came to Azeroth alongside Orcs, Ogres and such.. just that Blizzard hadn't created them yet.

Hey, that's not armor..

It is Armor. Protects her from anything safe once we're done with her. Ehehe.

[therumblings]

Maybe the implication is that they were always there alongside Ogres and such.. just that Blizzard hadn't created them yet.

Pretty sure they went extinct due to hunting, though I wouldn't care if they just retconned them to being rare alongside Ogres.

I like how the 1-10 for new player experience is different for each class. Being taught the fundamentals of your specific class is a huge plus.

With how many new customization options blood elves are getting, I would be seriously surprised if a blue eye tint wasn't among them. Disappointing as it is.

Dammit, BRING ON THE DATAMINE!!!

Maybe the real ogron were the friends we made along the way.

So they've previewed pretty much all that they stated will go live with the first alpha build correct?

- Class updates
- Kyrian zone
- Starting experience
- Covenant abilities

Should mean they work on pushing the datamineable build next?

[Valysar]

Oh look, Highmaul copy paste in the new beginning zone ^^

I'm aware Void Elves aren't getting any new customization options at launch- same for all other ARs.

But I hope they get the option to use more High Elf-y skins down the line. I'm not a fan of High Elves, but hopefully it'd pacify most High Elf fans.

Soon if we're lucky
