The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[PotHockets]

In my experience, twitch is usually ahead but also garbo stability.

Yeah Twitch is always solidly live but the experience is completely hit or miss and anyone wanting to fuck with the stream will always start fucking with the Twitch stream before anything else.

Gnomes and Goblins can go jump in a lava pit tbh, most uninteresting least played races in the game and they are not going to get focus, but yes Worgans could get abit as they've had some over time.

How can anyone dislike Gnomes and Goblins?

[Wangming]

Frankly, Goblins, Gnomes, and Worgen are way more deserving of lore attention. They’ve been homeless since Cataclysm and vanilla.

To be fair the discussion was about Allied races. Yes Goblins, Gnomes and Worgen are the core races most deserving of attention. I would LOOOOVE more Worgen stuff.
But they aren't allied races. Yet

[Varodoc]

Oh, no doubting that! I just don't think it's their time for an entire expansion yet.

Not an entire expansion.

But like how the Forsaken led the vanguard in the WotLK expansion (even setting up bases with their own architecture in the new continent), the Ren'dorei will do the same for the Void expansion.

Quite easily my little friend, put it this way I know a few people who find the mass genocide quests of those 2 races some of their favourite quests in game.

I've seen what you eastern europeans think is normal for us and I'm scared for you.

Doritos and mountain dew ain't normal?

This would be beyond any doubt I guess who else from allies could have insight to void stuff other than Alleria and her pack but until void becomes a main theme / threat, this needs to wait I'm afraid.

Mountain Dew is pretty niche. It's bigger on the East Coast though.

It would turn away significantly more people by not carrying the stuff people have gotten over the years forward.

I think it's a safer bet that fanboys/addicts will continue playing the franchise than the bet that it wouldn't attract the millions of ex players who've quit.

Void elves and Dark Irons are the only successful and well-received Alliance allied races.

People think that LF Draenei are a waste of a slot, people make fun of the Kul Tirans and wish they had the thin models, and people think that the Mechagnomes are a horrid joke.

Void elves and Dark Irons are the only Alliance allied races that got positive feedback from the Alliance playerbase.

It has been a while since I was last excited about something in WoW. I ordered some junk food and drink to my home like a "movie-night" type thing. If I can't go due to budgets and anxiety, I can at least treat it like a big event in my home. :]

@Varodoc, and now @Teriz are both here to get us to Page 3000!

Because they’re rarely taken seriously.
They’re almost always part of some cringey joke/unserious mess.

The very rare chance they’re serious, they can be pretty cool. Like with Mekkatorque IMO.

That's be nice, tbh tho Forsaken kinda got dropped from Wrath after Wrath-Gate/Battle for Undercity, the Horde forces were basically orcs for the most part outside of Howling Fjord and Venomspite. It wasn't until the last patch that Sylvanas got to be directly involved in the Frozen Halls and even then that wasn't really a Forsaken thing, just Sylvanas and two Dark Rangers.

As a Forsaken player Wrath was pretty disappointing in regards to Forsaken's involvement in the war against the Lich King : /

How can anyone dislike Gnomes and Goblins?

Easy.

If you dont like short races.. I cant play one for example.. zooming out kinda sucks then.

I like the secretcy about the trade princes and that whole cartel feeling, but other then that. Nah boring.

Weird "safe bet".

"Hey, remember that game you stopped playing? There's a new version of it, why don't you come try it out again. By the way your characters are gone as are the mounts you liked and the nice looking gear you collected and all those random little nostalgic items from stuff you did in the past! C-come play though we have... new quests?"

[Ambulatory Cube]

Gnomes and Goblins could be interesting, imo, they just constantly get treated as comedy relief characters. A shame, tbh. I thought the Mechagon stuff was really cool--they wanted to undo the Curse of Flesh so bad they sawed off their own limbs, that's metal af--but man they dropped the ball with the diaper look; the robolegs should've ended at the knee.
