WoW: Battle For Azeroth

Which side got the best new races?

>better npc/buildings
alliance

>better player races
horde

JUST

Alliancefag here. Definitely Horde, how is this even an argument.

Second for BE supremacy

Straight backed trolls for life

I think the Horde got the more interesting races.

Which makes me upset, I hoped I could make a high elf and roll a Druid But OC elves had to ruin the party.

>make an expansion focusing on PvP and the faction war
>pull the plug on PvP servers to appease carebears
rofl

>zandalari and highmountain tauren
Horde.

Alliance has the Protoss now.
Not only the shiny yellow Protoss, even the spoopy dark Protoss in the form of Void Elves.

Horde got the better races, but Alliance got the better new gear/NPCs/zone aesthetic.

I'd call that fair.

reskins using old skeletons are not races lol

Have they been playable at Blizzcon?

Horde by far. Stand up straight trolls alone put then leagues ahead of alliance. As far as other stuff though, alliance gets a but more. The entirety of the horde being relegated to orc huts well never not be retarded.

not having played WoW for a while, how come the Dark Iron Dwarves play ball all of a sudden?

>straight-backed trolls
>staright-backed orcs to possibly follow

Elves SHAKING
Humans TREMBLING

Anyone who isn't a human or a dwarf is a fucking furry.
Gnomes only kind of get a pass.

What the fuck are the yellow-eyed draenei alliance get? Do they have any difference besides... yellow eyes?

Magni's daughter fucked the Dark Iron High King and got a baby, then we killed their king so now she leads them till her son is of age.

Which is why they are being billed as sub races for you to unlock rather than a full new and unique thing.

Will they be actual Highmountain Tauren size or will they be resized to normal Tauren size? Because those guys are fucking massive.

I think they are both kinda even here I would say horde but adding more tuaren that arent really different makes it 2-3 imo

One thing i hate about the alliance is how it fucking homogenizes all other races into human wannabes.

Look at the horde side, you have trolls wearing their voodoo crap, orcs their spiky shit, undead their dumb spooky armor, and on the alliance side, blue armor everywhere.
This is particularly unforgivable with the night elves, WoW progressively ruined their aesthetic.

I think they might be slightly larger than the regular Tauren.
I do know that the druid forms will have the moose horns.

They are subspecies, not new races.
We also haven't even seen all of them yet either.
Still, the Horde have the better ones right now, outside of the antler Taurens that look just as lazy as the yellow eyed space goats.

Dwarves decided to band the three clans together and rule as a triumvirate.
Blackrock Depths is technically an Alliance territory now.

Undead count as humans right?

I like the new armor

When I was watching the BfA cinematic, I felt a little strange when Genn was on screen.

What do

Zandalar is way better than Gilneas 2.0

Army of the light members

grey/white skin, 'stone-like'

Why didn't the forsaken just unleash the plague in their city? That way only them can get into it.

It really isn't

Fuck dudes, every time they come out with something new I get the urge to play again and then give up like a week in and forget about the game ...again

Gotta agree.
I fucking loved ToT and Isle of Giants, seems like its just a big amalgamation of the two.

You got Void Elves, fuck sake mon I'd give me right nut but I aint playin' ally just for that

They kinda-sorta joined the alliance in Cata and solidified their position in MoP. Playable Dark Irons is something long overdue. They should've been done in Cata too since they were the only Dwarf faction with locks and mages prior to that.

Some new hair and horn options. New racials.

eh, there have been worse twists I guess

I would love the day when we can hide those stupid pauldrons. Rogues and mages would look a hell of a lot better without them.

So wtf is going to happen to the legendary weapons? Are they going to be replaced by level 112 gear now?

horde has the only race that isn't a reskin (zandalari) so they win by default

giv tall proud Troll gf

You didn't play Legion huh.

We get fucking brontosauruses.

magni got turned to crystal in cata, dwarves settled in a triumvirate of muradin/moira thaurissan/fasltad wildhammer, and they've kept pushing moira as a mary sue who does no wrong

they're gonna get a "proper sendoff" so it's probably some dumb shit that requires us to sacrifise the weapon

So what happens to artifact weapons?

Magni Bronzebeard got turned into diamond for a few expansions. Right away, Moira Bronzebeard reappeared and revealed she was preggers with the son of the deceased Dark Iron King' son and used that as justification for a takeover of Ironforge. Anduin, Prince of Stormwind was in the city at the time as Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind, said "hell no" and sent his forces in to reclaim the city and had his blade on Moira's neck. Anduin was all "dad no" and Varian was all "okay fine" and instead he established up a Council of Three Hammers (Bronzebeard, Dark Iron, Wild Hammer) to run Ironforge. Under Moira, the Dark Iron Dwarves now play ball with the Council until the day her son is fit to rule.

Here’s what pisses me off. There undead in the horde but no Playable Lich. And fuck outta here with the wanker up on wherever the fuck, I wanna be a Magic skelly man, Not some zombimbos.

>no Jungle Trolls
Alliance

They already added that option

Do we know the racial abilities of the sub-races yet?

if the savages want to eat at the white mans table, they'll have to put on proper attire

...

I like playing an orc and thinking I am GREENING every alliance female that I gank

>implying we won't get them and brown orcs at some point

My nigga Baine back there wielding a god damn tree about to club Anduin's stupid fucking head off as soon Sylvanas get's out of the way.

are elves now considered furries?

Going to be quests explaining the story about leaving the class hall and the artifact?
>Yes. Don't want to spoil, but there will be a capstone quest series.

>just Blood Elves with death knight skin
>space goats with some different horn and hair styles
"No".
The only cool one is Dark Iron dorfs and that's only because it should've been a thing way back in cata anyways.

You can hide: Helm, Cloak, Shoulders and Belt.

>Blood elves, gnomes and goblins mysteriously absent from the war.

So what are they planning?

>coolest races don't get a description
lmao

submit to daddy genn

artifacts are confirmed to fuck off somehow, not revealed yet
the new meme gear is a necklace given by magni that upgrades with a new material

>Horde Nightborne
Worst part of the expansion

>you can make a holy priest void elf
>you can make a shadow priest lightforged draenei

>Avaiable classes now trying to make sense

>Zandalari and Dark Irons shoved onto the back of the bus
They could at least pretend they give a shit about the non Orc/human/elf triumvirate.

Human paladin master race reporting in. The savage horde will perish before the Light.

I can't wait to take lightforged horsecock with metal plating.

Makes sense though, Tyrande was a cunt to them while Liadrin was understanding and helpfull. Also their nightwell exploded and the Blood elves have a sunwell they could use.

The others will be released in an upcoming patch, the last two will need to be unlocked after launch.

>Implying that's Baine.

He's been irrelevant so long you've forgotten what he looks like.

Blood elves are fighting the Alliance so they don't lose their city. Goblins and gnomes are mining the new super powerful mat apparently.

They're probably the least unique allied race.

I just want to see him again user let me have this. He's just in battle armor there.

>strapless bra
Void Elf wins

>pretending there is any feasible way to make gnomes look cool in your bitching cinematic
shortstacks were a mistake

Now that islands are a focus Kezan will probably show up in a patch.

>put a white dwarf(who got raped and knocked up by the previous dark iron leader) as the leader of the dark iron
>suddenly dark iron stops acting like such niggers

Bravo blizz

It's perfectly natural to want to nuzzle your face into his fur.
Embrace it.

It's going to be so weird seeing night elves running around randomly in Orgrimmar. Such a retarded idea.

>Going back to a petty squabble after fighting fucking gods together
How are they justifying this?

>Waaaaaah I'm being tanked on a peeeveeepeee server which I chose to roll on!
>Oh wait I can just realm hop and it's a complete non issue
How are people this retarded?

Also can anyone explain how they are retiring artifact weapons? We're just going to dumpster our lightbringers and stormhammers? I'm assuming they lose power somehow at the end of legion, but it's still fucking stupid to remove these lore weapons in this fashion.

I'm actually starting to like Anduin. If he grew some manly stubble he might actually be received better.

>least unique
hard to say, when playing the faction with only generic races

So what girl would you rather fug from the new subraces

Something something old gods something something corrupted

Vulpera

You could do that for years.

All of them, at the same time

It means you're a gay furry

Dark Iron T H I C C Dwarves.

Go away Genn

>evil genocidal ghost lady who uses WMDs and wants to kill all life on Azeroth is now leader of the Horde
I wonder why.

doki doki
just wanna be held in his strong arms all day

as if belves weren't already out of place and jarring all the way back in TBC

Gotta go with Alliance but its a close call. Pretty even all things considered, just comes down to preference.

Horde gets straight backed trolls and Nightborne which are neat additions but the Highmountain Tauren while cool are pretty underwhelming.

Alliance on the other hand gets the Lightforged Draenei and Dark Irons which are also pretty cool additions with the Void Elves being underwhelming.

Draenei are one of my favorite races and I've loved the Dark Irons ever since vanilla and BRD. Pretty much the only reason I say the alliance came out on top.

Tauren
