In 8.2.5, we get the new Worgen and Goblin models (the Female Worgen has me very curious).
8.3 is still a mystery (which is weird. By now we knew what 7.3 was during Legion).
kool, thx for the bullet-point breakdown buddie!
didn't know Azshara raid was 8.2, that's the first BFA raid I'll be interested in seeing
wats Nazjatar suppose to be?
Nazjatar is the sunken ruins of Zin-Azshari, the former capital of the Night Elves before the Sundering. It's also where the Well of Eternity used to be (now the Maelstrom). Players could go to it in one of the Cataclysm 4.3 dungeons.
Naz will probably be like Argus. A new continent where you can't fly, but that will probably be the time they bring flying into BFA.
Yeah, it's a little odd that we don't have even a hint as to what 8.3 is going to be but at the same time they're probably holding any announcements close to the chest because of how everything's been received thus far.
I'm expecting them to more closely follow Legion's cycle here and have Naz'jatar be a slightly more ambitious version of Broken Shore. I'm expecting 8.3 to be the big mini expansion like Argus was in terms of new content. But who knows what it'll be. Is there good speculation out there?
8.2 seems to be more akin to the Argus patch than Broken Shore, imo. But we'll see.
which one was considered a bigger patch, Broken Shore or Argus?
I had stopped playing Legion before either came out
I hope you're right!
Argus by far. There was a ton in 7.3 from what I recall.
Sweet baby jesus in Christ we forgive our sins. Why the delay this time?
What do you mean? I mean it's definitely later than it should be, but delay implies there was an original date that they pushed back.
Didnt the races will be released after the fourth wing of the current raid opened this week?
Blame the Kul'Tirans. Blizzard didn't think they were going to be able to do them, but went ahead with it. Because the Kul'Tirans are completely unique in terms of animation/rigging, they took longer to make than all the allied races combined.
It was then decided that the Zandalari were going to launch with the KulTirans and the Mag'har Orcs took their place.
That was never confirmed or specifically implied, no. Also, there is no fourth wing of the raid.
If you like Schadenfreude, check out how hard some of the folks that have been playing on Private Servers for .... 8 or so years are handling being bitch slapped by Blizzard about whats accurate and whats not.
Hint: They aren't taking it well.
They first claimed Blizzard was wrong, then the community as a whole dug up old famous WoW videos from vanilla and proved Blizzard is right about the Warlock pet thing. But of course these guys can't just admit they were wrong right? So they kinda just lash out and call those of us seeing reason as being "Blizzard shills" and "Corporate whores" while melting down amidst being mocked.
I can't wait for classic, but stuff like this makes the wait tolerable 😂
They're adding new portal hubs to each faction's main city, but in doing so they're slimming down the number of actual portal destinations that are available, and a lot of old portal hubs are being gutted down to just a portal to Storm/Org

If you don't want portals, go back and play classic. 😛 It makes no sense to take away stuff like Dalaran Crater, Wyrmrest Temple or Caverns of Time teleports from players at this point. It's not current content, so it only hurts casual people who might actually want to take the time to see content they may have not been around for. Or really dedicated mount farmers.
The weirdly phrased rhetorical questions in the blue response comes off as tone deaf as hell, though.
Maybe in the early days I would agree portal rooms are too easy, but we're now 7 expansions down with 8 continents of stuff.
I swear I've solved the same problem multiple times and somehow, it just doesn't stick forever, even though the files are still in my Sound folder...
I'm trying to mute a couple of sound effects that irritate me. The fire crackling of the Al'ar mount and the sparkly bullshit noise that happens whenever you PW:S/Body+Soul someone as a priest. I followed all the guides and renamed blank files as follows in my sound folder and it worked, years ago, and now, it just doesn't work and the sounds are back on again. Did the client change? Or perhaps the names of the spells/sound files?
Spells > Spell_PR_BodyAndSoul_State_Loop.ogg
Creature > Phoenix > PhoenixLoop.ogg

Hopefully those of us who are angry enjoy 8.2 when it launches. Until then, I guess we'll just stay mad.
PSA that the Darkmoon Faire is up this week along with the World Quest weekly bonus event for the 10 of you who still play and need to unlock allied races for Tuesday!
God, I hope so. I don't think I can handle any more of the "Classic is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE SHIT YOU -CASUALS- PLAY rhetoric" in my life. And since Blizzard is treating it as a separate product (that will be fundamentally different than what is happening on live/BFA servers) it just makes sense.
definitely needs to have its own thread, I don't want to hear about it
Oh trust me, I believe it. I just think having as much of it in a separate topic will be better for everyone involved. I also think that anyone (from either "side" if you will) who goes into the other topics to shit on those players should be moderated appropriately.
I doubt that will be the case, unless it's direct individual personal insults & slurs
But if it's just people saying, "Vanilla sucks and is outdated", I don't see why that would be bannable
I'll probably give classic a shot based on who from my friends and guild give it a run.
I think if the criticism is constructive and more elaborate than "vanilla sucks," that's okay. Could be a problem if there are a ton of people just slamming the game they aren't interested in engaging in real conversation about though.

yea I meant along with giving a couple reasons why, like outdated QOL features or other points
I'm referring directly to personal insults. However, "Vanilla sucks and is outdated" in a thread ABOUT VANILLA is imo drive-by shit posting and should be treated accordingly.
ok yea no personal insults & slurs
but I don't think the latter example would be bannable, I'm not sure though
Oh cool the Zandalari trolls are coming out oh wait I did all the BFA zones as alliance before I race changed back to horde and have none of the quest achievements because they didn't change over. No thanks Blizzard.
I haven't played wow in years but I'm thinking about getting back into it for classic. Currently I don't have anything to play it on but I'm going to get a laptop.
As wow will probably be the most intensive game I play on it I don't need anything particularly powerful and in fact I'd prefer something that runs cool and quiet.
Could anyone recommend something?
