Warlords of DraenorFollow

Ah. I forget about that dragon set.
and 7 weeks? geez >.> hope they nerf that in the future. I will not be happy to return to the game and have a quest chain take 7 weeks to do -.-


Make Believe Land :p

This would be a retcon to the lore. Bronze Dragonflight only manages the flow of time in this world (Azeroth - all the Aspects were Aspects of Azeroth). Even if they did have a traitor, they wouldn't be able to send Garrosh back in time to past!Draenor). And by the time there was any connection between the two worlds, the orcs were already tainted.

You would need a similar group on Draenor, which has never been mentioned anywhere in the lore, to do that.

After i got off PC last night, the same thought came to me about the dragons and Azeroth.

So while everyone is on Org raiding it, he goes to the ghost town (ship?) of an Alliance town, and somehow manages to read spacegoatsquid text manual to fly off? Dimension rip to a different time I could roll with. Marvel does it all the time in comics

I accidentally clicked logout the other day and I think my heart stopped.

And I'd be interested in a Draenei expansion if it was an actual Burning Legion expansion. Like, take us to Argus and let us fight some Eredar and all sorts of other demons.

Fusion Dance, and then a blackhole..and then we use blackhole that is actually a worm hole to go off to new planet. Next Expansion idea right there!

You have any idea how many thousands of players have been begging Blizz for something like this ever since the game went live?

And the whole thing sounds like an awesome idea. A garrison for my mighty character will be a nice step up from a tiny farm in Pandaria. That way I can have a REAL house and not be bumming a bed from various inns or camping out in tents.



Indeed, they said that was one potential idea.



Hit Rating is incredibly boring. Just like Defense Rating before it, it was a "Must get _____ before you can raid" crap. You didn't pick it because it was interesting, you picked it because you had to. Kinda like Defense Rating was for tanks. It isn't interesting, it adds nothing new to your character (oh, now you have a 0.00% chance to miss with yellows instead of a 2% chance or somecrap, oooo. That changes a lot in your playstyle, doesn't it?).

They want to get rid of these stats because they aren't interesting. Haste and Mastery are decent examples of *good* stats -- Haste affects cooldowns and resource (re)generation, which can change your rotation slightly. Mastery affects your class's mastery ability (dur, lol). Some classes benefit more from haste, some benefit more from mastery, some are close enough that you could call it a toss-up. I know when I'm derping around as a Monk, I enjoy my Energy regenerating faster, so I stack haste. I bet some monks enjoy the higher chance to get 2 brew stacks instead of 1 brew stack whenever they spend chi instead. Its a choice, and it does affect your playstyle. Also, with Paladins... you want to use your abilities slightly more often, or do you want your crusader's/templar's to hit harder with more holy damage? etc etc.

THOSE are "Decisions" to make. Getting "Hit and Exp to Cap" isn't an actual decision. It is something you "must" do and it does not change your playstyle whatsoever. I won't be shedding any tears with their removal, in fact I've always been praying that they'd see that these stats are boring and just remove them.

Will it make the game more "newb friendly"? Maybe. But then if you had to choose between Cleave and whatever else out there... maybe not.



They said that Garrosh only gets the story moving; it doesn't sound like Garrosh is going to be around very far into the expansion. It more sounds like he gets things started and then he gets knocked off right away as soon as the story starts moving so that we can focus on other, more awesome characters like Blackhand, Grommash, Durotan, Khadgar, etc.

You know, all of those names you've seen here-and-there throughout quests, and perhaps if you ever played any of the earlier Warcraft games? It will be awesome to actually meet these characters in person.

It's a start, though!

In MoP we had a small hut with a garden.
In WoD, we're going to have a small castle + several buildings in a settlement that's nearly the size of a town AND we are going to have sla...errr Followers.

I'll take that over what we had in Cata, WotLK, TBC, or Vanilla (which was......yes, nothing) anyday.

It doesn't matter what they do or where they stick this "housing", it is *always* going to be in "the old expansion" once a new expansion comes out unless they let you get a house in downtown Stormwind City/Orgrimmar and even then... in most of MoP, have you really been in SW or Org much? I know I haven't.

Hopefully, we can convince Blizz to give us a build-able "Portal Room" that gives us a portal to SW/Org or something so that we can use our Garrisons well past WoD and not feel penalized.

But then again, if you were that concerned about travel, you could choose the location closest to what would become the Dark Portal and use the Dark Portal to get to SW/Org fast and then do your next-expansion stuff.

And surely they'd give you an item that teleports you to your home, other than your hearthstone? We should make sure to suggest that to them, too. If they did that, then you could use your home well into the next expansion, too.

EDIT: And being able to send your followers into old raids for Transmog Gear? HELL YES.

They've confirmed new hair styles to go with the remodels.

Some clarification on the lore: Apparently we are not going back to the Draenor-that-was. Instead Garrosh will go back to that time, prevent the orcs from drinking demon blood, and cause a new timeline where the Iron Horde starts to become unified in the hopes of reopening the Dark Portal and sweeping across Azeroth. The Dark Portal on our side will turn into some kind of time-gateway, allowing us to cross over to this new timeline where Garrosh has already been for a few years from his perspective, apparently.

Do you have a link for that Fish? I'd like to see some more detail in writing from Blizz.

Yes, I meant the story. Thanks!

Well Nerf NOW!! figured out how Garrosh escapes from prison.

This is what happens when Blizzard nerfs bubble-hearth. People forget that hearthstones are great escape tools.
