your new original donut steal fantasy race, sir
>>747513647where are they from?
>>747513647
>>747513939it do be like that...
>>747513647ReBoot
>>747513647lmao>>747513939if flipped elf walks on his hands i'm all in
the Navi from Avatar?
>>747513647they killed turtlewow and ascension for this
>>747513647Discount naavi?
I for one can't wait to bully every blue elf into quitting the game.
You won't keep me from playing a sex elf no matter how hard you seethe and slander them.
>>747513647The insane autism of blizzard devs to jump through these hoops instead of just doing High Elves (Alliance) | Blood Elves (Horde)
>>747515596that would mean giving the chuds* what they want*actually like all their female players
>>747515414good goy playing the whale class
they really got their mileage out of these fucking ancient burning crusade blood elf models didn't they?
>>747515302every blue elf player will be a whale who's been playing the game for 20 years and will likely continue to do so for the rest of their lives so that's unlikely to be effective
>>747515850they were good models
>>747513647Matrix?
>>747515850the guy who modeled them should be along side picasso and mozart for contribution to the arts
>>747515596Blood Elves should get quel'thalas and silvermoon and High Elves should start in northshire to go slobber on the human cock they desire so much. silvermoon shouldn't let in pussies who won't tap fel
>>747515596It's not autism, just saving on dev time by constantly reusing the same race instead of having to model items and animations for new ones.
>>747515850Why do more work when someone better than you already did it 20 years ago
i still don't get why it is called forever
>>747516075>they're saving dev time by reusing the same model instead of reusing the same model
>>747516013Reboot!>>747516118Is your IQ below 80?
>>747513647wow gee, thanks for the super original design for the new race blizzard, it's not like people have been begging you to introduce more interesting races already present in the lore for decades into the Alliance/Horde
>>747513647Do I have to be fucking blue? The Night elves have that AND purple.
>>747513647It's going to suck ass. It's just lipstick on a pig. A few new things on top of the same old game. I wanted a new game. Not this crap. There better not be boosts and tokens. Bots will still be a problem. Let's not forget that WoW is developed by faggots who have gay pride parades in the game now. I think it's going to suck. The trailer looks like fucking disney.
>>747516118Because they are expanding the vanilla game forever. They have a years roadmap already. This is just the launch content.
>>747513931>skyborne>born in the skyBravo
>>747516185Think about it. If they added high elves then all the billion elf subraces they invented lose their justification for existing.
>>747516290IDK they made a big point to talk about community, and fostering that. Hopefully that means actual content moderation.
>>747513939>no clipped ears elfYou fool!
>>747516386so you're saying nothing would be lost
>>747513939>genderwe don't do that here
>>747513647Hey guys we know you want some other cool existing race that is already in the game, but instead you're getting...genie elves!
>>747516407They don't. If you would see the current state of WoW classic right now with the anniversary community, those people are dogshit. They are paypigs and they are scumbags. Blizzard doesn't give a shit about moderation. They will have you get banned because bot mafias report you. Everyone who raids buys gold. THey are all a bunch of cheating sons of bitches.
>>747513939This is what Elder Scrolls mer lore talks about.
>>747516593are you saying this addition is... genial?
>>747516489Think about the poor indie dev having to refit every item model to an ogre.
>>747513931over the rainbow
>>747516593I want to fuck the girl genie. >>747516619I see it. But they aren't actively maintaining classic, it's a static patch, and no reason for them to care about it.C+ is a cashcow for them and it needs to be maintained.
>>747516526WoW forever will have body type 1 and 2 because they are fags just like the people who play classic now
>>747516685oh no ogretards are retarded. not because of the extra work, but because they'd look like garbage from being out of scale. tauren and fat men are bad enough.
>>747513647I would have rather had pandas unironically.
>>747516685>>747516791They would re-work them using the draenei models I bet
>>747516759They were making huge money in anniversary last winter/spring with TBC dropped and they didn't do shit. I had friends who got banned and they wouldn't even investigate it. Everyone who plays is a shitlib now. You get muted and reported for offending anyone. It's a fucking cancerous game and will never capture the hype of 2019 again.
I quit WoW back in 2011 because I thought it was irredeemable trash back then. How the fuck do people justify playing it in this state for over 20 years!?
>>747516858Normies can't masturbate to Pandas. This is for the ERPGers to get freaky on horde.
>>747516949they pretend all the bad shit in the game doesnt exist
>>747516907I joined a levelling guild called the N Words or something retarded and everyone was super chuddy. There's a boost cartel who will mass report anyone who dares try to tell them to fuck off.
Are you seriously hating on Forever because the new race are Elves? Personally I'm excited about all the new content, new talents, new class combinations and an overall improved world.
>>747516949Because this is going back to before it was irredeemable, before they fucked everything up with TBC
>>747513647they should have just done this with blood elves, skyborne is embarrassing, it's like some modern d&d shit
>>747517151Welcome to /v/, nothing is good. I'm most interested in the new 5 and man dungeons. Fuck raiding. I hope they nerf Naxx gear while they're at it.
Why is it that it seems every Elf needs to be multicolor weird bullshit. Where are the classical tall, fair skinned, ethereally beautiful normal elves with pointy ears?>inb4 elves are gayYour favorite character wishes he was as ballsy as Fingolfin
>>747517560Because then they would need to add black high elves because pink is too close to white. Having a non-normal colour for them lets you be racist without Blizzard having to deal with the racism backlash from bluesky.
>>747517560They can be white
>>747517151>Are you seriously hating on Forever because the new race are Elves?it shows retail art design, it's antithetical to classic
>>747517560Ancient feral warlike amazonian wood elves were one of the peak additions to the Warcraft universe. WoW and its subsequent expansions ruined them though....
>>747518040People have been asking for a pretty horde race since 2004.
>>747516407>Hopefully that means actual content moderation.They didn't do content moderation with the retarded blue elvesWhat makes you think they will implement it in any meaningful way?
>>747518120and if they went with the obvious choice, belf/helf, people would've just said "lol unimaginative" and been satisfied
>>747517560I cherish this mans work but fantasy was doomed the moment they decided to endlessly copy him.
>>747517136That's the problem. Why should I pay a game to be treated that way by third world thugs?
>>747518120>People have been asking for a pretty horde race since 2004.This is the wrong approachHorde women should be animalistic and oozing sex appeal while Alliance women should be "pretty" but stuck up and prudish
>>747518242But that's what is happening right now. >Blue elves? Boring!>game will be filled with blue elves on launch
>>747518351no to be all "that's just, like, your opinion, dude", but that's just, like, your opinion, dude
>>747518120>people have been asking for a pretty race for horde since 2004>that means you should make up fanfic-tier faction neutral blue elves that live in the sky and sell them for $30 on top of subscription costyou wow niggers deserve everything you get and morei hope you never break free of this stranglehold blizzard has on you, and i hope it continues for the rest of your bloodline should you trick some poor woman into birthing your cattle spawn
>>747518435>game will be filled with blue elves on launchselection bias dude, everyone who isn't interested in blue elves will indeed not be playing.
>>747518521I will not be playing a blue elf but I will be playingNormal people don't care this much
>>747513931Reboot
>>747518521someone pull up the horde race statistics for TBC for this retarded nigga to see>b-b-but it's paywalledyou naive mongrel
>>747518618so which is it, will everyone be playing blue elves or are you a pointless outlier faggot?>appeal to normiesjfc utter state of you
>I SAID BLOO-D- ELVES NOT BLOO ELVES YOU RETARDED MOTHERFUCKER
>>747518750>ok and alliance gets high elves>... YOU PUT THEM IN THE FUCKING CLOUDS??
>>747518321the opposite actually
>>747513647> Still more of this bullshit> I will die before Blizzard gives me OgresIt's amazing how Blizz has a bunch of people wanting to give them money, but the fuckers give you every excuse they can to not make you want to come back.
>>747513647>Could've added goblins for the horde and high elves>could've added like red demon draenei for the horde to give them that good-evil vibe>could've added ogre females who are like muscle lady orcs but but even bigger>just give them slop elf recolorsONE JOB and they still blew it
Game designers have been doing this forever, I don't see why this example stands out.
>>747513647I'm glad I no longer play WoW.
>>747515850whoever made them should ask for royalties
>>747513939
>>747519032Because it's 100% made up
>>747519148Anon, it's a fantasy video game, it's all made up.
>>747519007I am convinced you people are manufacturing consent to kill the Horde as a faction
>>747513931Skyrim
>>747516647
>>747519261It's better off dead than having 70% of its players be soulless chinks and women who are physically incapable of playing anything that's not a barbie doll.
>>747519261The Horde not having as many sexy races is just up to them not modelling them to be sexy enough, they could do a pass over the races to be more appealing without losing the metal vibe on a lot of them and make the girls sexier and I don't think many people would complain. They just don't do it and just leave them looking awkward and unappealing for no real reason.
>we want classic but if it got a expansion>NO NOT LIke thAT!!!
>>747519510everyone was already calling blizzard fucking things up before this got made, players understood what they wanted, blizzard apparently doesn't
>>747513939>Missed chance to call night elf a nigga elf.Abysmal dogshit.
>>747519510>hello i would like another plate of classic>wtf you put poop on my classic
>>747518120skyborne do not look pretty, they look badly designed
>>747519656acme brand elf
>>747518321He was the start but DnD is the catalyst for all the shit we deal with today
>>747518749Yeah no shit appeal to normies. Normies playing WoW was why it was so huge. There's something for the poopsocks too, don't worry.
>>747519510Skyborne do not look good anon
>>747515721Most MMOs do this.
>>747519772yeah but that's a failure of art technique because all the good artists quit, not a failure of intent
>>747513647they're charging $30 for this?
>>747519261>we need biborne trannies to survive
>>747519032I would love to play as a froglockMurloc playable race when?
Honestly if this is the only bad thing people can latch onto and argue about that's pretty good overall for Blizzard. Nobody is talking about all the other shit they are adding.
>>747519852>not a failure of intentIt's an inversion of the Nightborne, which also do not look good, the intent is failing
>>747513931THE SKYTHAT IS WHY THEY ARE CALLED...SKY BORNE!
>>747516297I hope they shuffle the damage numbers every 2 weeks to keep metafags on their toes.
>>747520085I mean people have complained about plenty>Hyjal is obvious to add>but the other zone is some random redridge style zone next to burning steppes as if entering that kind of zone after burning steppes won't be a total whiplash, should just have made it ashlands like TWoW was planning>Undead paladins make literally zero sense>no insight on the "1000 new quests" but they could all be slop as far as we know
>>747515721I don't get it, why do they want me to pay to play an ugly race? Nothing is stopping me from playing Nightelf.
>>747519510Imagine defending 60 year old female Holly Longdale's romantasy schlicking fanfic OC race
>>747517971Holy christ they made belves even gayer looking. Again lol
>>747520085>Nobody is talking about all the other shit they are adding.Check the other threads>Warcraft 3 Expansion new graphics censors all of the female characters in the game, new graphics are forced with the Expansion campaigns>D5 is being written by hamburger helper, the lead writer for Dragon Age 2(that people hated)>People are mad that all of the notable announcements are 3-4+ years awayI went into this Blizzcon with an open mind and I am disappointed
>>747513647I honestly couldn't have imagined WoW Classic+ getting any more fucking stupid. Jesus Christ.It should have fucking occurred to these bitchfaggots that they brought back Classic because there was a demand for it; it's all about listening to the players. They should have realized this with Classic+ and given players what they have wanted, which is Ogres/Goblins/High Elves, not this faggot tranny pseudo-pandaren with Sky Elves called SKYBORNE.
>>747520373>new graphics censor female modelsProofs?I believe you 100% i just wanna see the bullshit blizzard pulled.
>>747520373i went into this Blizzcon expecting fail and i am endlessly entertained
>>747520252>Undead paladins make literally zero senseThey can already be priests. Using holy magic is supposed to hurt them though, would be cool if they made that an actual mechanic.
>>747513647man I wish I had the time to play this shit. I want to play it but MMO's are too much of time sink now for me. gnome lock 4ever.
>>747520591See>>747517305>>747517646I can't believe I defended this garbage company in the last few weeks
Compare the original cinematic trailer to this new one. It's just so bleedingly obvious it was done by all the unmotivated do nothing women who politicked all the devs with actual creative energy out of the company. All the weight and grit of the setting is gone and it just looks like a fucking disney movie they're trying to sell to faggots.
>>747520804i can't believe you were retarded enough to do that either
wait so, because it's the vanilla game, that means only the vanilla races are playable?
>>747520804Hahahahahaha
>>747520252>multiple new zones>including a new starting zone>a couple new dungeons>professions expansion>old zones getting little retail tumors on the edges of them1000+ new quests is (assuming horde/alliance exclusive ratios are maintained) like 30% more quests available. The average player will most likely do ~200 of them if they go to level cap, raid for a few weeks and max out their professions. Of those 200 195 of them will absolutely be kill X murlocs, collect Y bear asses, go talk to my great aunt Biddy 2 zones over
>>747520843yes like the skybourne
>>747520842Overwatch has been doing good, I thought Blizzard as a whole was signalling a change, obviously not
>>747521442anyone who played OW after like two months post launch has extremely poor judgement
>>747520967That’s what people want from Classic. Big, storytelling questchains are for Retail players.
>>747513647>Another blue skin raceHow many does that make, 9?
>>747521442Damn. This is sheep mentality. I'm glad you're starting to break out of it but I bet you'll cave the second they release D.Va faced OW character #15.
>>747521851I think Blizzard might be racist. Blue supremacists.
The whole atmosphere of the new cinematic and the old one are completely different>Enter a gritty but fantastical world with different peoples clashing, living their lives and vying for dominance, the conflict you knew has reignited over resources and past vendettas. The drums of war thunder once again>Hey I'm the guy from the other cinematic, watch my cute bear aimlessly chase a wisp throughout an entire country to watch Dalaran unlock. It's so wholecome. Here's an undead paladin. Finally, here's an epick blue elf! Don't you love adventure! Welcome to Warcraft friendo!Literally all they had to was make a montage of the classes adventuring and fighting. TBC got this right despite not being vanilla, how come Forever didn't?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlVSJ0AvZe0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXaXYxcbA6AI shant be buying.
>>747513939>gendernublizz would never
>>74752185114 blue races actually
>>747513647Nuke modern BlizzardThere's nothing worse they could have done, this is just insulting. Probably even worse than the fag coded dragon race
>>747519510>"we want something!">something is released but it's shit>"ehh not like that bro">"UHHH WHAT?????? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED SOMETHING WHAT THE FUCK???????????????????"many such cases
>>747522452>Probably even worse than the fag coded dragon raceidk man that was the point where i wrote off blizzard as permanently unsalvagable.
>>747513939>MYSTERY ELVES
>>747522452this image never fails to crack me up
>>747520837This. I guess we still have Warhammer, but Warcraft is dead. Fucking blue elves lmao what the fuck
>>747513647only a woman could look a this and think "oh yeah this looks good!"women have toddler tier mindset
>>747523027>we still have Warhammeruuuhhhhhhh
>>747513647>I know what will really get those classic players excited!>ANOTHER blood elf reskinDo californian cat moms really?
>>747523839There is quite literally nothing that WoW players want to play more than all varieties of Blood Elf.
>>747524042spiritually dead game
>>747519510>hello yes I want a spiritually faithful addition to classic>okay here you go we gave you another fanfic elf recolor race from a fanfic zone nobody ever heard about or wasn't even remotely implied to exist, ever, and draws its roots from never>oh and also achievements, transmog and WoD-ified character models>please look forward to it and buy the epic edition and the pig
I NEED to be an elf or i will not play your MMO, simple as.
>>747524357maybe those european neanderthal admixture theories have something to them after all
Why do all modern WoW races look the fucking same?>Flamboyant elves with tusks that are supposed to be trolls>Flamboyant elves with horns that are supposed to be dragons>Flamboyant elves with tattoos that are supposed to be (there's nothing interesting or original enough about them for me to put anything here)They somehow even managed to fuck over Dwarves by making Earthen look stupid
>>747524867add void elves to this
Who is going to be the not-Draenei race they will add in time?
>>747524867The people currently in the industry are all the same "Starbucks D&D" types picking over and repurposing the corpses of works made by better men
>>747524867the lore reason if you're serious is that there was a Cambrian explosion of elves (and goblins etc) that are all descended from Trolls who are the original ur-race of azeroth.
>>747524867
>>747513647So close to an ideal vanilla+ announcement.But some faggot or faggots at Blizzard insisted on the paid OC elves that get a free mount who can be both factions.I genuinely don't understand how they could finally realize that V+ is a worthwhile venture and then introduce a playable race that had never been mentioned in WC1, 2 or 3.
>Void Elf recolor>But this is somehow also set around WarCraft 3There needs to be a study on why Blizzard is so adamant on never adding playable High Elves, why the fuck do they keep making this shit up instead of just giving us High Elves and Ogres?
>>747524867blizzard please im tired of brightly colored and haired elf reskins can we get something else
>>747525360>So close to an ideal vanilla+ announcement.In what way?
>>747525520Ah, you want orc elves?
>>747513647That's not even the worse part, they are selling that cheaply made recolor for $30$30 for two seconds in MSpaint.
>>747525591Level 60 foreverMore dungeons and raidsNew Race/Class combosNew BGMount Hyjal zone
>>747525972And WoD models, transmog, achievements?
>>747526083>WoD models, transmogBoth toggleable>achievementsEasily ignored
>>747525513dancing around 'high elf' is because you can't copyright the concept of a high elf for merchandising reasons. GW got raped sideways when they tried to do this with WHFB.
>>747526145If they were smart they'd just make the donutsteel elf name attached to a faction of high elves who stayed with the alliance or something so they're high elves & whatever other "elf" they are.
>>747524867I find it insane how a new blue elf race gets made every 2 years but they put a red skin option for drenai hidden behind an obscure quest in legion.
>>747513647Only way they are a good addition is if you need to no life a rep at 60 to unlock the race. Make it a really fucking big time investment on top of the purchase price. Obviously won't be the case since they cost 30 dollars but I would reconsider my opinion on Bliz if they did it.
>>747526132Ah, you're a retoiletfag.Makes sense.
>>747513931the deepest brownest depths of some troon's dolation hole at blizzard
>>747513647they finally added the avatar aliens into wow
>>747526456A what
>>747515850Arent these the revamped model updated Belves though? Not that there was a massive change from the originals given how popular they were
>Toggleable HD character models and animations>Two new zones filled in: Riverlands (east of Redridge) and Hyjal>No AoE loot>Toggleable quest helper>1000+ new quests (about 20-25 per zone)>Legacy challenges (achievements, for classes, zones, trade skills, PvP, dungeons, raids)>Shop>Nine new dungeons, among which Hall of Thanes, Rath' mael, Wetlands Excavation Site, Sunken Hollow and Dalaran Sewer>New raids: Hyjal Summit, Barrow Deeps>Profession talent trees, boost chance to gain skill point, discover more resources, extra elemental essence gain.

>>747513647a fucking palette swap
>>747513647>another fucking elfAre blizzard devs just super lazy? What's with the infinite reskins? Is it that hard to make a new animation rig/model?
>>747513647>more tumblr elves for the 501386th timethey are addicted to this shit, arent they?
>>747526835its for retards to buy obviously, retards will buy it
>>747526835it's what the wowtroons still playing this garbage wantand they're selling them for big money so no fucking way they're going to make custom races that only a handful of faggots would play
>>747515302if you actually buy and play this shit, you are part of the problem.
>>747513647So what do these have to do with anything relating to classic WoW?Were they foreshadowed anywhere? Hinted at anywhere? Is the place they're from a long-time fixture in the Warcraft/Classic World of Warcraft lore?
so how long till one of these private servers pop up again cause im certainly wanting them back now
>>747526914There are like a million monster races you see as NPCs that people have wanted to play for years. I might reinstall if they actually added something familiar and interesting. Not some random reskin
>>747514124holy shitreboot was also the very first thing i thought ofi think it is the blue skin color and the triangle shapes in their clothes, lol
>>747527010This would have been the perfect opportunity to add High Elves and Ogres and move forward with a new timeline, but they're stupid
>>747520329you underestimate the sheer paypiggery of the twink/waifu faggots that actually pay for this shit. its ez money for blizzard
>>747513647 This is what I voted fore. I wanted another blood elf skin where I have to pretend I'm playing a high elf by making it look like one from warcraft 3.

>>747528124They are all OP. They actually managed to maintain faction identity even though they caved and gave shaman and paladin to the other factions. They make all the classes unique based on racials, too.
>>747528108>>747528045>weapon racials go from weapon skill (mandatory must play this race) to a nice to have 1% crit thats better but not overwhelmingly so>except humans get 2% crit fuck you
>>747513647Isn't this just regular humans but with blue skin and pointy ears?
>>747528319>They actually managed to maintain faction identity even though they caved and gave shaman and paladin to the other factionsthis means that they DIDN'T maintain faction identity. that was one of THE biggest differentiators between the factions and now they ruined it. this fucking slop game is just retail minus
>>747516118It's a passive aggressive jab at the players by the foids who run nublizz.>what are you playing anon?>i'm playing classic wow forever
>>747528854its literally blood elves with blue skin. this is like the 7th time theyve done this
>>747516118'infinite' as a subtitle was played out
>>747513931lore wise they are from the azure island, a highborne territory that separated from the continent of eastern kingdoms with help from the air elementals, which I asume means we will fight eventually alakir the calyph of the clouds
>>747528994Each faction will play significantly different based on racials alone.
>>747529136>azure island?????????????????????
>>747529206zephras isle, sorry.
>>747528820Humans don't get an active for PvE/leveling and The Human Spirit is a weak passive.
>>747513647>Forty trillion elf variants>ZERO ogresmy expectations were zero and im still let down
>>747529301>zephras isle???????????? [2]what the fuck is this shit? just some shit they made up?
>>747529407probably the oc tranny elf starting zone
>>747529407Anon, it's a fantasy game, it's all just some shit they made up.
>>747520804holy shit dude. just nuke this fucking company
>>747529476no but like, isnt this shit supposed to be classic?? why the fuck did they make up some retail style shit? there were already tons of unfinished unexplored areas in vanilla that they could have done and definitely a different race like ogres, naga, goblin or high elf could be added. what the fuck?
Guild Wars 2 MOGS World Of Warcraft!World Of Warcraft STILL has PS2 graphics!
>>747529672People have been telling you for years that Classic+ will just be Retail-, why are you surprised? There was never any chance of it being good.
>>747529672It's an alternate timeline version starting from vanilla WoW and introducing elements that don't exist in the main timeline.
>Pay $15 a month to tard wrangle 39 other players for the 100th time, but the bosses have new skinsNo thanks.I was already the best player on my server and in the top guild. There's not much left to accomplish after that. It's the kind of experience you do once and never feel the need to do again.
>>747529876>I was already the best player on my server and in the top guild.100% of people that claim this are absolute dogshit.
>>747513647>jeet elvesthe Yakuub of the sky jeet elves
>>747529816AKA Retail-This is literally what WoW did post-CataExcept now they're starting off with it instead of pacing out the ideas left to explore in Classic, first And the first offering is a $30 paypiggy special race I don't know who should feel more shame; the people that made this, the people who will pay for this, or the people who excuse this
>>747529672Blizzard are genuinely retarded. If they wanted a neutral race they could have gone with goblins. Or they could have added ogres to horde and normal high elves to alliance and it'd be perfect.
wow the retards who can't fix retail, shat the bed with classic and shat the bed with SoD also can't make classic+what a shocking revelation that absolutely nobody could have seen coming a mile awayblizztroons need a bullet between their ears
>yeahhh i'm sick of retail and how it's turned to shit over time with dyed hair commiefornian gobbledygook>so i'm going to play this version of the game that starts out with all that garbage2 expansions in and it'll literally just be retail's more retarded little sister (assigned male at birth)
>>747518120>PeopleBlizzard wanting chink money isn't "people"
It's malicious at this point right? They're doing it on purpose? They hate us
>>747530916Classic is Retail, idiot. Retail was a term coined to distinguish private servers from official servers.
>>747531052>2 expansions inIll give it two patches. Thats how long it took them to kill SoD
>>747513647They won't add high elves or ogres but they will add this
classic plus starts out as pozzed as at least post-bfa era retailthat's its first expansion - its TBC equivalent. not even that, it's more like the equivalent of a patch
>>747531223I wish I was a fly on the wall so I could hear their reasoning
>>747531223ogres won't sell. nobody wants to play ugly races and player interest is very important when you're gating races behind 30 fucking dollaridoosbeing a high elf fan is a humiliation ritual at this point
>>747531276Their reasoning is that Ion Hazzikostas will probably take everyone in the HQ out and then himself if he ever as much as heard anyone get the idea to give playable High Elves to Alliance faggots.
>>747525513Nu writers HATE old lore.
>>747531163Except that's not how it works in common parlance, is it, you midwit pedant?And thank you for not responding to any of my points, I now have no doubt that you are a retard.
There is truly no more raped fanbase than blizzcux. Every single announcement is a humiliation ritual
to be honest this just makes me look more forward to wrath classic anniversary since it's going to actually be what I want in a wow game and not some strange jewish nublizzard poison
>>747513647So much better that the stupid, problematic Blood Elves that they are a clear reskin of.Thanks you based nuBlizz
It's genuinely hilarious that new subspecies of elves keep poping out of every hole nook and cranny
>>747516759yeah just like SoD's non existent botting infestation from day 1.
women creating themselves in sneedeogames
>>747531519You can really tell the new jeetelves where hodgepodged together by the same people who seethed for decades that belfs were horde only. Nearly every new race addition since Legion has been some form of coping mechanism for this
>>747531662were*
>>747531586Dirtborne, Fireborne and waterborne coming soon.
>>747531485I CLAPPEDI CLAPPED AND I CRIEDSHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY BLIZZARD
>>747531485whats up with wows obsession with recolors? not even ff14 is obsessed with this and they have a dye system.
>>747531495You'd think it would be a humiliation ritual. From the outside looking in, it certainly looks the part. But they have no dignity, and no standards. They don't know what it is to feel humiliated, because they lack the faculties to even critically assess and evaluate things and engage in self-introspection.
>>747531472All WoW players are retards, smart people play Everquest, Runescape or FFXI.
>>747519904sooooois this a mamalian or a reptile?
>>747531991Amphibian
>>747519007>could have added ogre femalesNo. they should never add ogre females. Part of the fun of Ogres is wondering where the fuck all the women are. it should be genderlocked, or "body-type" locked as modern blizzard would put it.
>>747517560Original elves are to humans and dwarves what Whites are to nons. No way they'd allow that in any game.>>747519510Yes.
Is the beta really limited to level 30?
>>747532215there being a beta in the first place is retarded in my opinion if the whole point is discovering a new version of azeroth
>>747519032>High Elf>OgreBlizzard would never.
>>747519032ah yes....the barbarian race
>>747532215>>747532289its a glorified server stress test. you wont be making it to level 30 with the lag and dcs.
At this rate i wouldnt be suprised after a year passes they sell reskinned draenei and call them eredar letting you choose between blue, red and other mystery meat colors
>>747532080this never stopped being true and only became more true as time went on
>>747532485Uncivilized subhumans don't get to group themselves with the rest of us
>>747531817Spares them from having to spend a thousand dollars creating a few models, textures & animations when they can just palette swap and reuse everything else
>>747532485Everquest has multiple near-human races like the Barbarians and the Erudites. They're like neanderthals and denisovans in real life.
>>747513647>completely humanoid>long ears>glowy eyes>colorful skin"Most original race" award goes to:
>>747513647I've been looking at the WoW forums and its really something else. A bunch of the people on there are literally proud goyslaves. Actually fucking drones that are proud that they spend bunches of money on literally anything that has the "World of Warcraft" logo on it. I honestly believed that this was a caricature, not that they were real living, breathing people.
>>747532672its hella gay ngl
>>747513647I love me some idoneth deepkin
>>747513647Their smug poses just scream "hello mortals our entire history was just made up this afternoon and we're about to take a huge dump all over your precious classic world"
>>747531958FairBut it's also retarded to dismiss commonplace terminology just because you think it makes you look smart.
>>747532828um chud if you don't like it just don't like.. le play it???
>>747513939>vegan elf
>>747516949I have a plan... IT INCLUDES YOU!
>don't want to include draenei and blood elves to classic>mash them together>create blue high elves from the skyBravo Blizzard
>>747527618kek
>>747532769Yeah but a billion dollar company isn't supposed to make things
>>747529816this is really getting schizophrenically out of hand
>>747513939This is literally DnD
>>747531317they arent ugly. they are fucking cool looking. what is with you people and thinking that anything short of a kpop model is somehow ugly? ogres look fucking cool just like trolls and orcs look cool despite not looking like models. i dont get the attraction to warcraft in the first place if blood and grit is too scary for you.
>Undead paladins worship the HordeWhat did nuBlizz mean by this?
>>747531317nigger, people have wanted ogres since real classic. There was a time when we genuinely thought we were getting ogres, naga, and the bulky dragonkin. it still feels surreal how much of an asspull cataclysm (outside of gobbos) and everything that followed was, when there was still so much older lore to explore.
>>747533378You thought green jesus was a joke?
>>747513939>>747533312In fairness, neither Warcraft nor Dungeons and Dragons were the first to have a million different types of elves.
>children who weren't around for blood elves and draenei receiving the same response when they were announced, 20 years ago.
>>747533378its not that. its that the alliance doesnt accept the forsaken and they have nobody to turn to but the horde. i have problems with 99% of wow, but i never really got the complaint about the forsaken being with the horde.
>>747533452>those who speak with voicesbravo Tolkien. Personally I speak with my ass
>>747533487I was there. Belfs were extremely popular. There was some confusion around Draenei/Eredar shenanigans but people warmed up to it fine enough. This new shit is an astronomical level of retarded and I genuinely believe you have to be a paid jeet or mazed landwhale to defend it
https://x.com/NoeliaRamos96/status/2098880569274745284
>>747533496No, look at that image. The undead paladin's Bible has a big Horde symbol on it, and he has a Horde symbol on his tabard that glows and shines with holy energy when he casts. Implying that for this undead paladin, the Horde insignia is his holy symbol.
>>747533685oh i never noticed that. yeah thats kinda weird.
>>747533378Adding gimmick race/class combos instead of being autistic about the lore is a good thing actually.
>>747533836WoW having limited race/class combos that attempted to be thematic was a good thing actually.
>>747533378What were his prayers?>I LOVE RAPE>I LOVE MURDER>YES
>>747533685And most human paladins will have some kind of Stormwind lion insignia on them, that's nothing new.
>>747533836you'd love this game called Retail Wow.
>>747519032im sorry, are those "EVIL" races? what the fuck dude
>>747534009They actually don't. Maybe if they're dressed as a soldier, but if they're dressed as a paladin they almost always have their own set of symbols.
>>747532749Sunk cost fallacyThey can't do anything but defend it to justify all that money they wasted on fucking trash so they double down on eating turd
>>747518321>fantasy was doomed the moment they decided to endlessly copy him.>Everything that tries to distinguish itself away from him is canned horse shit. People copy him because he repackaged myth into fantasy. And our best stories are half myth. Nigger it's like saying fantasy is doomed because people keep repeating the serpent slayer archetype. We keep doing it because it's old, good and deeply rooted in our psyche.
>>747529683GW2 was dead on arrival. Absolute fucking disappointment.Not that WoW has been any good since Cata.
Left or Right?
>>747534393i think retails big tone problem is from putting political correctness before myth, so you have some ugly shenigger doing heroic things and it's just eye rolling
>>747534560you can toggle those on/off
I would like to play this but for me Wow is unplayable without my vulpera
>>747534560Left like any self respecting man
>>747534560Left, then configure one-bag and transmog on.
>>747534560left of course. right is for heathens
>>747534560C: Not playing this pozzed garbage at all.
>>747534560>Can turn off all the new retail dogshit>Talents are mostly just TBC-lite>New contentYeah I'm a slave I'm gonna play it despite it not being what I wanted I'm going to play with the other fat aging dads.
>>747534648t. gayfag
>>747534007why do so many players seem to think that forsaken need to be some borg hivemind monolith? they are individuals and can have differing approaches to stuff. they dont all have to be evil cunts surrounding themselves with green plague juice.
>>747531317>ogres won't sell.Don't you get tired of being wrong? It's time to start doing the opposite
>>747534769then why are they all evil cunts surrounding themselves with green plague juice
>>747534726you are part of the problem you fucking pig. have some dignity and self-respect and stop loving your shackles.
one day...
>>747533487I'm still salty about "broken" (real draenei).
>>747534741I'm bisexual. I like games that have armor styles, I like seeing all the cool, funny and ugly costumes people can come up with.
sometimes it feels like theres just one anon sneeding in these threads responding to every post
>>747513647Literally my only issue right now is that I have to pay for these fucks? What the fuck I'm already gonna pay subscription fuck you fuck you
>>747534571Yeah absolutely. But that's not tolkien's fault. And I know that was never stated either, but my point it if more people tried to copy him more sincerely, we'd have less dnd slop in the world right now.
>>747534853Nah. I have disposable income and play it with friends for a period of time not a 2 year neet addiction like you. Get a job bum quit shitposting on 4chan for a change
>>747534810they arent all like that. just the undercity niggas because they are all sylvanas cultists.
>>747534268>posts a picture with lion insignia on the armor and Lordaeron symbol on the book?
>>747534879yeah i hate literally everything about nu-wow but always loved transmogging. i always hated that whenever i did raids and got cool as fuck gear, i had to discard it for the less cooler looking but superior later raid-tier gears. just let me look like this for fucks sake and im happy.
>>747534879Didn't read lol
>>747535020Didn't read, or can't read?
>>747534879>I'm bisexual.not a thing
>>747533378His convictions are KILLING IN THE NAME OF
>>747519778Yeah and most MMO's are fucking terrible and barely even count as an MMO and probably copied half of their shit from wow, your point?
>>747535081The former, clearly
>>747535090I have two penises, I can put one in a woman and one in a man.
>>747534919>projecting this hard huh? im literally employed and have friends who play good games rather than this shit. which is why i dont have fucking time for this shit and i dont wanna support dogshit projects. we have all moved on from wow over a decade ago. you are a fucking colossal fatty who cant let go of the hog trough. no need to lash out on me for your own lack of self-control.

>>747534857>people love le silly fat walrus>people hate le silly fat panda
>here it is you guys, classic+!! get hyped!>look inside>SoD+
>>747535119That's a picture of the race and class selection from Everquest 1, a game older than WoW. You have to buy most of the races and classes.
>>747535316>what do you mean you're glad you're getting classic+ (sod+)?>get discouraged!
>>747535316>SoD without tank shaman and tank warlock
>>747518627underrated
>>747535316We heard you wanted to plus it up, so we plussed it right in the plussy!
>>747515721Wait you have to pay extra to play elves but with blue skin? Blizzard is insane.
I stopped playing in Legion. Played and wrote (non-E)RP mods for years prior to that, had a great time, met biological women and everything from playing it.What the ever loving fuck is going on? Look, I understand that I didn't really want >another kind of Dwarf >Furry foxes uwu and other shit but they seem to be bending themselves in knots recently. In the past I remember >Super SUPER Light enhanced Draenai >Orcs, but the brown ones this time who weren't corrupted >Tauren, Forma De Alaska >Highborne NE exposed to Nightwell Drugs and a lot of that kinda made some sense but >High Elves, but Voidtouched some tiime This will be important because the hot elf demon thing in the Shadow Priest Artifact is going to be the big bad for 3 games >Giant fucking humans who are fatter than all the other humans, but aren't Vyrkul. They're seafarers >Zandalari super-Trolls who can stand up straight with their super power of being aztek better than all the other trolls >Donut Steel wheelchair Dragons who can kinda sorta into Elf form, but not like the cool sexy dragons we had in the past, these are lame and probably gay. >Apparently unga bunga gorilla elf-trolls who are basically the better version of both elves and trolls somehow but look like a Mogwai got jacked up on roids. >Now apparently there are Blue Elves who Are NeutralHow much of this is just avoiding giving High Elves to the Alliance or making them the neutral race. Fuck!
>>747535426*laughs in hag*
>>747535402>SoD without tank shaman and tank warlockIts such a wierd decision because having 6 tank classes was a really nice change up until we ended up back at only having 2
>>747535426Is she contractually obligated to laugh at the beginning and end of every sentence?
>>747535556She's torpedoing the franchise so she can go back to working on her one and only true love, Everquest, she's laughing because she finds it funny.
>>747524867could be worse
>>747535498If they're really building upon SoD then not putting in the new tanks (i could live without rogue) would be a weird change. Shammy and metamorph tank were widely enjoyed. Sure its nice if we get dudu and paladin tanks but come the fuck on try the new ones too.
>>747515721Okay, now I'm angry. >Shen'dorei NO NO NO FUCK YOU FUCK YOU. We HAD >Shen'dralar the badasss Highborne Night Elves who kept their arcane shit secret for years in Dire Maul/Eldre'thalas. Oldfags may remember that Quel'serrar and Quel'dalar were both forged with their secret. I know that when they let NE be mages awhile ago they let Shen'dralar hang out with the druidic/elune-ite Elves again but fuck fuck come on they forgot about all that shit with the naming convention?
>>747534985And the glowing holy symbol is clearly neither of those things.Here's another example if that wasn't good enough.
>>747535667>i could live without rogueI rogue tanked through to MC, its basically what druid tank did in 2019 classic and didnt need to exist in a world with 5 other perfectly viable tanks. Im going to hold out hope that spirit weapons in the shaman enh tree having that >Increases all threat by 30% while rockbiter is activeclause means the tank bits are in the abilities and not in the talents
>>747535748Another example
wut
>>747535962Another example
>so many beast and feral races of Azeroth>LOL NOPE RECOLORED ELF
>ZERGLING PANDA DIABLO PACHIMARI PETSThis ctually a good thing, if you get them on both retail and whatever this shit is and it will sell a lot. Zergling, Panda, Diablo pets used to be exclusive to buying a WoW Vanilla Collector's Edition. It sold for thousands upon thousands a decade ago if you had a key for one unclaimed. I'm actually happy they're kinda doing this, just like with the Feldrake thing; I wonder if they also did Spectral Tiger?
>bought a key for the illidan murloc pet for like $400 6 years agoi dont know where else to post this but I had to get it off my chest. it still haunts me
>>747535925The beta starts soon so i'm also gonna cope shaman has tank stuff in their talent trees. I think if we just get one more tank we would at least have some variety, would love meta lock to be a thing but i really doubt it.
>>747535748>>747535962Ashbringer has Lordaeron symbol on it again.2/3 so farNot every paladin design will have the symbols, but those were always common in them as you can see. Paladins are basically priests who were trained to be soldiers, so they don't get smashed by orcs every time the foul greenskin engages them in melee combat. As soldiers they would often wear some faction insignia, tabard, symbol. That's all.
>oh it's starting with the OG WoW cinematic, maybe there's hope >turns the og wow cinematic into a Disney shitty fever dream in less than 10 secondsI hate niggers so much it's unreal
>>747536286Yeah, but it isn't the major symbol on your Bible or glow with holy power when you're casting. The Horde symbol being the main thing embossed on the undead's bible and his Horde symbol glowing with holy power when he casts implies implications.
>>747536295hey niggers had nothing to do with this
>>747513647Hypothermia elves
>>747536276Meta lock is much more likely since that one really is a single ability away from existing considering that meta also changed/added abilities only when you had it active
>>747534560tmog is a mustI don't want to look like a fucking clown
>>747536534My stomach tells me meta lock wont happen if they're alluding to demon hunter coming down the pipeline. I really hope we get meta lock over that though.
>>747516949Because classic was good at launch.Granted it fell apart half way through and turned into the usual metafaggotry.That and the only reason it was good was because they knew if they fucked around with making changes to the game, the community supporting it would riot.This lead to really stupid shit like spell batching (casts only processed every 250MS all at once, most notably fucking over hunter feign death).They also still changed things like adding sharding (and trying really hard to convince everyone it wasn't sharding because it went by a different name), which lead to shitloads of bots exploiting shards to mass farm expensive reagents and rare worldmob drops.It was essentially the best WoW had been in years, and only because it was mostly a 1-1 copy of how the game was before they fucked it up.
There are AT LEAST a dozen of other fantasy IPs that would kill for this engagement.
>>747537158it's not real "engagement" anon, we just like to laugh at how far blizzard has fallen. it's actually amazing, every time you think they've hit rock bottom, the floor gives out a little more. generational washed company and IP
>>747536465Not 100% sure about this
>>747536249of all the pointless shit?i paid 100$ for collectors with the whelp in 2009 and felt scammed and i loved that pet
>>747536630
>>747536660It probably wont, Id like to see how they plan on handling new classes. If we only have 3 tanks Id like to see DKs and Monks before DH
>>747537364>crying soijak with smug soijak face
>>747535426I skipped around a bit during the presentation and she genuinely kind of disturbed me for some reason. I don't know why.
>>747522180>undead paladinThat seems a bit goofy.Not as goofy as when they made Taurens paladins, but still a bit goofy.
>>747537627hopefully never, DH is dog shit
>>747522180I noticed this too, it was pretty representative of how they will never truly understand what made vanilla WoW great.
>>747534560I will never understand the one-bag obsession. Do people really need this to keep stuff organized?
>>747534560Will it filter the blue elves if I pick Classic?
Does anyone actually in good faith like this announcement?
>>747513647Hard to have faith in this when the first announcement is this blatant retail-slop being shoehorned in
>>747537827It's much clearer than fiddling with several separate bags.
>>747524867Because they're all made by the same development team. Expecting something cool from nu neo wow is delusional. They like pastel elves so that's what gets made.
>>747526487>dolation hole
>>747537526Real transmog fans know that making yourself look like a clown is based.
>>747522180First trailer is high T and the second trailer is low T disney beta male energy.
Little bit worried about bird form. They will add flying later?
>>747537989I dunno, to me it was always easier to remember where stuff is when my inventory is segmented. I guess maybe people don't use the open all bags key.
>>747528108Sweet they actually added plainsrunning
THIS WAS THE BIGGEST MONKEY PAW EVER, I FUCKING HATE YOU FAGGOTS FOR GETTING MY HOPE UP. NOT EVEN SODA IS DEFENDING THIS SHIT.
>>747538160that is just their travel form, just think ostrich
>>747531495don't go to /wowg/, you will lose all hope for humanity
>>747538173Then you are still opening all bags at once, might as well combine them. To each their own I guess.
>>747528108how fast does the cow run though, if it is 40% that would be sick
>>747537526yeah, I don't want the paid cosmetic clown shit eitherI want shit like this
I just boughted the collectors edition because I wanted the statue. How did I do
>>747525156>he thinks D&D freakshit is a new thing
>>747530947It's an intentional choice to add something made up to establish their intent with this. It could have been a more exciting choice, but I get it
>>747538464You did well; now buy the Warcraft Reforged shit and every bit of shit they throw at you.
>>747515850The devs who could make new skeleteons probably left.They can't add new skeletons for races
>>7475386354Ever CE comes with all that
>>747529672the reveal had them mention that we will be exploring zones that werent available in classic wow, I forgot the specific part but they did mention that the the landmass separated dalaran style from that zone.and while we are at it, they are reworking dalaran, it will be a raid instead of a regular city
>>747538464If they got McFarlane Toys to make it, it might be alright. But expect Witcher quality.
>>747538257That’s what I thought at first, but the model looks really similar to the flying ones. I expected them to use the Hawkstrider model. But this is just my own low quality tinfoil-hat speculation and I could very well be wrong.
>>747538120.t warlock making himself look like a farmer
>>747538870Gnomes that look like garden gnomes is objectively an improvement, you can't have that without transmog.
>>747515596I modded the blood elf model back during TBC to have blue eyes. The first time I ever modded anything. My idiotic child self was supremely proud of himself for changing a texture.
>>747535665bearded dwarf women are kinothe gems are gay though
>>747516290I was cautiously excited, but am completely turned off by the roll out.
>>747537526>tmog off until level 60there. happy now?
>>747538815Travel form is on the smaller size, so to give them the benefit of the doubt, it could have been to keep a similar size to the tauren and night elf ones.
People still pay wow?
>>747538160holy fucking retail. looks nothing like anything from vanilla at all. couldnt they commission metzen or didier to doodle some shit?
Can you make a Dark Iron Dwarf? I need my fire dorf ladiesFor hashut.
>>747538464
>>747538470he never said that nor does your picture have anything to do with what anon said but ok
>>747537852yeah. of course nuchan wont like it since it's not everything they wanted and more.it's clearly made for an aging boomer dad gamer audience who already like wow and new ones to casually get into long term
>>747539260Elves with wings is freakshit, it exists because some guy wanted to play a super special snowflake and got his DM to make a race for it, and his DM got hired by TSR.
>>747539368ok. again, i fail to see why that has anything to do with what anon said. he was just lamenting how gay and lame the elves look and how oversaturated the game is with elves and elf-analogue races. you just brought up your own irrelevant shit for no reason
>>747522180Not even 10 seconds in and it already feels like a fucking disney movie.
Yup I'll be sticking to Epoch Reborn.
I haven't played since like..... The expansion we got the champion weapons from. I played like one day of some other expansion so I'm out of the loop.Are these a race available in retail or just classic???
>>747537364trvke.
>>747533378Paladins are driven by the conviction in what they fight for, and their belief that they wield the light in the name of doing the work of the righteous.I could see how an undead paladin would end up thrown in with the horde because the alliance wouldn't have them, and potentially find the will to fight on behalf of the faction that actually took them in.The design being adorned in horde symbolism is pretty fucking dumb tho, the book should have a hammer at the very least.
anyone else annoyed that they didnt even try with this new race. its just blood elves with blue hair.
>>747539693Literally why make this race if you can make them look EXACTLY like a belf. This is the problem with fucking elves they are so interchangeable
>>747539598Avariel are a lame and gay variant of elf. D&D has a ton of lame and gay variants of elves. He said, and I quote:>The people currently in the industry are all the same "Starbucks D&D" types picking over and repurposing the corpses of works made by better menThose "Starbucks D&D" types, the Critical Role types, aren't particularly noteworthy or novel in their freakshittery. Fantasy games have always had Mary Sue special snowflake races, usually elves or "half-angel half-demon half-genie half-ghost" things.
Trailer was going fair enough, at least for modern Blizzard, until these fuckers showed up.
>you think you do but you don't guy was proven right all along
>>747513647Now THIS is exactly what I was hoping for when I asked for classic +!!!! So hyped!!!!!
>>747513647So there are 3 versions of wow now? And this new one is basically a reset of everything that happened after vanilla? 2000s era wow was lightning in a bottle made by a team of normal white dudes for other normal white dudes. There is nothing of that left.
>>747539745If warcraft lore is anything like dungeons and dragons then they literally cannot wield holy light without killing themselves. Undead are fueled by negative energy which is antithetical to life and anything positive.
>>747513647they are literally just blue blood elves. exact same model and everything
>>747539957greetings from tel aviv!!!
>>747539845Every single elf that came after the wee folk who fix shoes and make trinkets and toys is just "elf but with X".
>>747522180if i wanted to listen to cunts talking i'd play retail
>>747513647troll (forma de Mariposón)
>>747522180because this shit is for gay DnD dad type gamers who thing le hecking wholesome cuteness is mature and awesome now. remember how they regretted calling it world of WARcraft because it was too scary of a name?
>>747539857if retail doesn't get them i guess it's to substitute belves for the sake of classic?idk i just wanna know if they'll be in retail
>>747539992Anon, you have the working of an excellent Marty Sue with that premise. He uses holy symbols hoping that he'll die, he goes around saving the world because he wants to be a martyr, he enjoys the fact that his powers cause him severe pain, he sees his unlife as a curse brought on by some fault and seeks to atone. XxSephirothxX has nothing on him.
>>747525231akshully they retconned thatthe haranir (or whatever the fuck) were there before trolls
>They killed turtle and ascension for this slopKekadobbie. Where are all those "DADDY BLIZZARD'S CLASSIC+ IS GOING TO BE EPIC!!1" fags?>>747540003>exact same model and everythingHell, apparently they can even have the same skin tone >>747517971
>>747532485they're just a flavor of human, like skyrim nords but scottish
>>747540287>they killed slop and slop for this slopK
I'll wait for the Ascension MMO Alpha/beta, fuck Blizzard slop.
>>747540328there was genuine passion behind those fan serversthis is just souless "fine heres some shit if you guys stop whining, and also a gay elf to get retail babies to spend 60 bucks and play for a bit". i dont know why this place has such a hatred for private servers, it's bizarre
>>747533452Aren't Tolkien's variations more about history and all? I mean, closer to real life human variety in Europe rather than just a bunch of different flavours with wacky colours.
>>747524867they're supposed to be air elementals taking on an elven form
>>747540545>taking on an elven formvery convenient that every single time these races just happen to have elven forms... hmm...
>>747540545so another trans metaphor like dracthyr
>>747513647Will they add any other races that came over the years into retail
>>747540678they have new race/classes planned for the first 6 months already
>>747539054they said it's meant to be a road runner, i.e., flightless
>>747540475Ascension was a cash grab that became vibecoded in its later life, and Turtle was "random bullshit go" until Mysteries of Azeroth.
>>747540328how were those servers slop? twow and ascension were the most high effort free fanmade things ever made for wow. they were certainly more like the actual classic+ i imagined than this shit.
>>747540718But only completely new ones?
>>747540851>literal free server has shit that it sells that is completely optionalwow thats crazy. the audacity.
>>747513939>Vegan ElfTOPKEK!
>>747540931Experience potions, heirlooms, raid markers, transmog sets, hats that increased your profession speed, hell at one point they put picking your starting spells at level 1 during their seasonal servers behind a paywall.
>>747513647I just want to play my necromancer on ascension after watching this rollout. 20 man raid focus, paywalled elf race, racials still clearly overtuned for the horde... depressing stuff.
>>747541036you gotta pay server costs somehow, anon. i didnt mind. i never used it. i just did challenge runs with every characters like adventure mode or whatever the fuck it was called and played on bronzebeard with my two buddies. it was great.
>1000 new questsHow californian are these going to be?
Now that classic+ flopped, what's next?
>>747541229pet the pupper
>>747534560>transmog offInsane to me that Blizzard put this in before Valve with the amount of obnoxious glowing particles and sound effects spammed in DotA2.
>>747541262wait for private servers to return, the damage blizz did to the scene will last maybe another year or two
>>747541174They were selling some absolutely retarded things. 36 slot bags. 100% mount speed at level 1. A pet that loots stuff for you automatically. A pet that skins stuff for you automatically. Not to mention the fact that all of this was tradeable, basically adding legal goldselling.
>>747541229>help the human find a gift for xer polycule partners, dwarf (body type 1, fae/faer) and orc (body type 2, she/they)
>>747540664>Heard that a dragon playable race got announced.>Get hyped as fuck, assume is the Drakonid or a new cool reptilian race like the dragonborn from dnd>Check it out>Is some faggy, Temu Jake Long-looking, scalie OC, that doesn't even show armor>And their alternate form is yet another fucking blood elf recolor that's somehow even gayer with their clown skins and hairStill seething.
>>747541308I recall there being quests like this in Ascension and Turtle WoW.
>>747533378Thrall is just that cool.
>>747541456working overtime for them rupees, eh ranjeesh?
>>747541456okay? and?
>>747539992forsaken have been priests wielding the light since day 1
>>747541536There was a quest in Loch Modan literally called Ram Ranch.
It just hit me that not even the dwarf of the original intro was safe from nuWow...>>747541456It wouldn't surprise me from Turtle
>>747538110my doledippers hole :)
>>747541442Erm, broaden your mind and such, little one
Out of all the existing races they could've added that people have wanted for years, why did they feel the need to make up a completely new race of elves
>>747541613lmao wtf thats soulful. im supposed to be mad? how is that anything like petting the hecking reddit pupperino?
>>747541591That is for faction balance. All the undead priests in game are shadow priests as far as the lore is concerned.
>>747541681no one at blizzard knows how to rig up new models. been that way for a long time now
>>747541793>they can all cast spells of the light and teach you the spells of the light but really they all cant!Yeah shut the fuck up retard
>>747541681This question has been answered multiple times. It's because they know it sells. League of Legends doesn't make skins for Gragas or Urgot, they make skins for all the hot babes like Ahri and Soraka and cool dudes like Twisted Fate and Garen, same shit here. They added pseudo-ogres in BFA with the Kul'tiran Humans and nobody liked them.
>>747541681Uh oh
>>747541921Yes, undead should be able to speak common too but blizzard removed it.
Undead paladins have existed since vanilla, anyone complaining about them is an actual tertiary retard
>>747541931>Kul'tiran HumansLiterally just fat people. You are a retarded person. I want to play a monster ogre, not the most pathetic wretches of my own species IRL
>High Elves for Alliance>Blood Elves for Horde>Paywall both to make corporate happyThere. The game will still be shit but at least there isn't a big blue elven elephant in the room to point at.All Skyborn do is give up the grift too early by rubbing it in everyone's face that this is just Retail 2.
>>747541681Blizzard would rather EoS every game they have and cut the HRT funds before making the actual High Elves playable.
>>747542097jesus christ no one is talking about this, i hope they aren't paying you too much for this. You people are saying the exact same thing every thread
>>747542108Ogres are just tall fat people.
nu-wow just can't rid itself of the taint of middle aged white women
>Forever Outland>Illidan is not a bad guy
>>747542168Blizzard has an actual grudge against people that want high elves or ogres. They've added 100 shitty races no one plays in retail but have never added the 2 people actually request. It has to be pure spite over the outrage against Horde getting Belfs back in TBC.
>>747539857You can't sell Belves. You can sell Skyborne to Retail paypigs
>>747542257they did that already in retail
>>747525513Lore wise the high elves became blood elves no?
>>747541681>>747542050>literally adding entirely new models in with the old classic stuff in a way that obviously clashesthis is private server-tier amateur work
>>747542257Alternatively: Illidari as a third player faction featuring Fel Orcs, Blood Elves, Naga and Night Elf Demon Hunters. Outland is their "continent" the same way Eastern Kingdoms is the Alliance's and Kalimdor is the Horde's.
>>747542305The high elves that were in the plaguelands that followed the prince became blood elves. High elves in Stormwind and other places remained high elves.
>>747525231>Trolls who are the original ur-race of azerothnot anymore, harandir are the originals (all elfs and trolls come from them), after the backlash they said there might be something before the harandir tho
>>747542221>orcs are just green muscular humans bro>trolls are just slender blue humans bro>undead are just dead humans brono they are not you fucking fat faggot. why the fuck are you just being an obtuse retard right now? is blizzard paying you 0.000056 rupee per post defending them or something? can you just fuck off?
>>747542453>>orcs are just green muscular humans bro>>trolls are just slender blue humans broThese but unironically. They're called humanoids for a reason.
so is this gonna be a separate thing from the raped retail storyline?
>>747542548yeah they're gonna start this one off mildly molested and see where it goes from there
>>747531317this hurts but he is right, there is a reason why 70% of players use humans or kind of elf>all other races are below 4% except orcs
>>747542453>>undead are just dead humans broanon, I...
>>747542548It kicks off right where WC3 ended and takes place over the 1st year of Vanilla (up until Molten Core opening)
>>747542548it is just as raped
>>747542543yeah bro. lets just remove all the races and only have human but different skin colours because everything is the same and nothing matters.
>>747542168If I had to guess they have to invent something new otherwise people would get mad for feeling like they have to pay to 'access' Blood Elves. And they can skimp out by just designing one race with one new zone. I think it would have been smarter to stick to an 'authentic' feeling Classic experience out of the gate to appease the fans, but the profit potential from pervs and women was just way too tempting.
>>747542548probably but its gonna be equally raped. before even one drop of story has been revealed, we can see its already raped as we already have retarded shit like blue blood elves.
>>747542587The real reason that's the case is because all the armor sets are designed to look good on those races while everyone else gets the scraps.
>>747542640Make fantasy races that are actually distinct and this criticism wouldn't apply.
>>747538160>>747538815no, they said they wont add flying to the new classic expansion
>>747541442leftists in 2022 thought drag was the greatest thing ever and their way to win over straights, they were wrong
>>747539693>Are these a race available in retail or just classic???if you are talking about the blue elves, then no
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQuKE0KDgiM>Gameplay trailer in the official channel>First comment is about TurtleKek. Get fucked blizzard>>747542286I always had the crackpot theory that the Kul Tirans are retooled ogres. Hell, any private server still trying to do classic+ after this troonever crap drops should have just grabbed the Kul Tiran model and make a playable ogre out of them.
>>747542587It is true, but the thing is you can already be a human or an elf. Adding the 1000th variety of elf isn't attracting anyone new to WoW.The pool of players who want to play as a brutish fat fuck isn't as much, but there's also no overlap with the players who want to be elves (who are already playing WoW).
>>747542832
>>747542716>this is not distinct according to fucking faggotkys, ranjesh.
>>747542868The problem is a lack of elves on Horde specifically. Gooks and chinks didn't play Horde back in Vanilla and it lead to severe faction imbalance on Asian servers.
Quick! Come up with a lore reason for why Skyborn on the Alliance and Horde forgot their own language and can't communicate.
>>747542947Star Trek aliens are more noticeably non-human than this.
>>747542994>because... it was... b-bigger... bad........
>>747542868I wouldn't say the goal is to attract a lot of new players but that they know paypigs really would be more likely to pay for another hot elf than otherwise, unfortunately
>>747531276Because some purple haired freak let the nerds smash if she could add her erotic fiction side project race into the game as a launch pad.
>>747542994They are air-heads du-dum-thiiish
>>747542994Brain damage from atmospheric pressure change
>>747534648Based. I going everything naked but a primal kilt and butcher cleavers. Some people are just boring and joyless.
>>747531223i understand not adding ogres since that means they need to actually work and create new rigs and models but high elves are literally there already lmao
Elf players are the ones swiping the credit card which is why Blizz adds so many recolors of them and had shit like the Housing trailer feature an Elf. That's the cold, hard truth.
>>747543248coomers and waifufags ruin everythingand the sky is blue
>>747542994It's a Korea situation. North Koreans and South Koreans speak the same language, but politics has hampered mutual intelligibility. See also: Yugoslav languages.
>>747543353just like the elves...
>>747543408>hampered mutual intelligibility. See also: Yugoslav languagesthis is literally not the fucking case. everyone understands eachother and speak basically 99% the same language of serbo-croatian. why speak on shit you dont know anything about?t. serb
>>747543353The skyelf is blue*
>>747543525And yet, if you ask the average person in the yugoslav, they'll say they speak a completely different language from those subhumans across the street.
the paid shillbots sure aren't having a good time trying to push this dreck
>>747543676just stop it. you dont know what youre talking about. by the way, north koreans and south koreans perfectly understand eachother too. they just have slightly different dialects, but they are almost completely mutually intelligible
>>747543842those who are gonna play aren't gonna be dissuaded by threads on 4chan.
>>747543871Because they hate each other, they pretend to not understand what the other is saying. They pretend for so long that they actually believe it.
The Blood elves will be actually a hostile factionRaid of Quel Thalas
>>747516118Because they know their paypiggy customers will play and pay FOREVER, no mater how low quality the content blizzard puts out its.They're literally mocking wow fans to their face and they don't care because anyone that's still a fan of wow in 2026 is too stupid to ever even realize they're being insulted.
>>747540475Yeah, passion for cash shop money.
>>747513647the men look faggy but the girls are really cute
