OK the Night Elf quest went dark. I really went there with "I killed your sister . . .sorry?"
it's weird this did not come with Night Elf Shaman.

Wooo STUFF!
Can't believe how many rewards are available with timerunning! Super happy to see them add more of the MoP Pterrodax mounts (which look way better than the BFA ones)
and I hope I can get that pandaren phoenix since I missed the CM ones.
I'm looking forward to this. I wish it was happening now and not in June/whenever D:
I was just about to make a comment about the quest as I saw someone mention it involves Koroleth, one of the Primalists, and immediately thought this is how we get Nelf Shamans.
So I am guessing it's just a quest, nothing else comes along with it?Then again it would be weird if only Nelfs get Shamans and not all the other races.
It's pretty crazy to think that in the midst of all this 10.2.7 datamining hype, we still have the entire flipping alpha ahead of us in a week or so.
While it will be nice to have another color variation of it, the blue one is quite good. Then again, I main Alliance and my mage is human, and the Stormwind coloration of the heritage set goes quite well with it.
But variety is always nice.
Unrelated but the realm first achievements being called a bug seems odd given that one even has that title "mistrunner".

That tier was always the kael'thas armor poeple have been asking. The blue orbs makes no sense, because its suppose to be verdent spheres, which are green, but I understand the blue version fits with the alliance blue armor.
The red/green one is basically the real one imo. There is also a yellow/purple one.
Do we know if this pandaria remix event is one-time only, or will it return?
But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.
You are pretty much told the story of Koroleth, the main villain in the Ohn'aran storyline (the burned night elf shaman) while interacting with her sister. It is a solid story, the kind of thing that would have made Dragonflight much better grounded in Warcraft lore if it had been released when it had to.

I understand your point but on the other hand, it would have meant that they'd get an actual explanation for being shamans instead of things like the Warlock storyline. Sorry but explaining giving all races access to a class without handling their individual cultures and origins will never be equally satisfying. I cringe at how they'd ever deliver a "Druid for every race" in particular. I'd rather they add them slowly when they fit by building up origin stories. The night elves in particular already have origins for Shaman and Paladin
Oh I know. I'm just happy to have gotten a different color. I like the original but it is great, especially as an Alliance-main, to have something I can rock a bit more easily.
I'll be happy to get the Kael'thas colored one though too.
We should also get recolors of the weapons too I think, right? We're probably going to need to level each class to unlock them, I'm realizing. Well, that cloak should help.
I still disagree that we need some elaborate intricate story for every race/class combination. Yeah, certainly, some need an explanation like Lightforged Warlock (which we did get) or Undead Paladins, but did Night Elf Warlocks need an explanation? We literally had them beforehand. Nothing is preventing a Night Elf from becoming a Warlock, so why is it so unreasonable to think that some of them become just that? Why is it so unreasonable that there are Gnome Shamans? They've been living with the Dwarves for decades now, and mingled with all the other shamanistic races. There's nothing preventing Gnomes inherently from becoming Shamans.
It's incredibly cringe to use that term to describe a fantasy race, but the only thing stopping Shaman/Druids/Paladins for all races are stereotypes.
I only want new shamans, druids and paladins if they come with the unique lore and models they historically always have. I do not want a uni-shaman "primalist" background and totem for all new shamans just like I don't want all paladins to ride on a single new horse and have tutelage from Tyr. I do not want Gnome Druids if they only use generic druid forms that are shared with Orcs Druids.
And no, Blizzard does not have the capability to balance their new work load with a new mount for every single new paladin.
Sure, but we have Druids training non-Druidic races in Emerald Dream right now. We have non-Shaman races who are Shaman right now, and non-Paladin races who are Paladins right now.
All three classes have got an angle that allows all races to become that class: Paladins through the new Order of Tyr. Druids through Amirdrassil. Shamans through Primalists atoning and using their powers for good.

I mean, the only classes that aren't all-race yet are the ones that require unique art assets. Go figure.
Right. And the unique assets and lore have made them really cool forever so I hope they don't break that, or they delay it to when they have unique assets ready for everyone in a mega patch or expansion launch.
Warlocks made no sense to be delayed forever because it was ONLY lore gating them, and that is flimsy at best, as no (playable) race has a hivemind that disallows a character from wanting to use fel powers.
