Oh boy, here we go. Even though they’re all supposed to be super extra immune to Old God Whispers we’re going to find out that the secret fifth old god on the other side of the world can affect them.
I was really enjoying the Old Gods finally being dead and gone.

Update from WoWhead.
Ebonhorn finally drops some logic bombs. His claim to the Aspect-ship grows lol.

- Sarkareth says that he is hearing the voice of his father. Its not clear if he’s just hearing standard whispers or if Deathwing is actually talking to him from the beyond.
- Sabellian and Wrathion get told off by Ebyssian for their continued bickering over Aspectship of the Black Dragonflight.
Ebyssian gets my vote.

Bonus points Ebonhorn calls out that Neltharian’s legacy is one of fear, control, and lies.

With Alduin as King of the Alliance ruling out the possibility of a war provoked by the Alliance, I can’t see them going the Garrosh/Sylvanas route again with the Horde. Battle for Azeroth was probably (and in my opinion hopefully) the last hurrah for the faction war storyline. Keep it simmering in the background as skirmishes, as it was in the beginning and should be heading forward.
An all-out faction war doesn’t work in an MMORPG where the war involves playable factions. Unless you’re willing to have one side lose and anger half your playerbase, there’s just no real impact. And, as was proven in Mists and BfA, neither side is really satisfied (many Alliance players are still rightfully upset about Theramore). You can only get excited about a game between two rival teams so many times if it keeps ending in a draw.

No…Ebyssian is vulnerable whenever he leaves Highmountain. This was established in the Heart of Azeroth in BFA.
Heh, to be fair with that example, my favourite breed there was Metis (followed by Lupus). 
I don’t really get why people would chose Worgen to just be human most of the time, just like I don’t really understand why people choose Dracthyr to just be Visage constantly. That said, there is nothing wrong with choice. Letting people pick the form they like effects me not at all. I am glad they extended to chosen identity type racial to Worgen too.

We had cross faction guilds in Earthen Ring back in the days of Vanilla. They represented rogue like groups that held loyalty only to where the coin was flowing from.
Old Gods are more unkillable than Demons.
Best you can do is lock them in some underwater city where they lie dead and dreaming.

Currently not clear if its a Trading Post thing or something else.
I’d fully blame this on Blizzard tying dracthyr and evokers so tightly together. You need to both like the race as-is AND its mandated class or else you’re screwed. So since visages are given an option at all, anyone who wants to play the new class but think dracthyr suck is going to push to let them use visages as much as possible. And the opposite just plain isn’t possible until the race gets more classes.

It’s a shame it’s not a full set, but it’s pretty neat looking.

You seem to have missed on the massive mechanical benefit… The Auto-Visage boosts up out of combat recovery to a major extent.
less a ‘hurrah’ than the noise that comes from both ends of your body when when you suddenly and uncontrollably have a massive vomit and diarrhea attack while wearing your best clothes in the middle of a formal church service amongst your friends and loved ones.

I didn’t miss it, it just isn’t something that I deem worth bothering with. In groups there are usually healing ticks between combat so it’s not needed. While I am soloing I can easily just use Living Flame to heal myself after combat ends. Since I dislike the Visage form, I just never bothered with it.
I kinda wish they got rid of that racial, honestly. Fine with people preferring Visage, but adding something that could be conceived as an advantage to it is awful. 
Looks interesting enough. Might be a renown worth leveling for a lot of people

Yeah, I dislike the gameplay aspect of visages being there too, but I thought the beta description of it made it worse. It was something like “Your visage puts your party members at ease, increasing health regeneration out of combat.”
Which if you’re a horde dracthyr, it’s… dude, you’re not exactly sticking out as a dragon. If anything, taking the female visage would be worse because it makes you look like a hostile enemy race.

People! Anduin has been gone for 5 years lorewise! He is not the king of Stormwind at the moment, let alone the Alliance! TURALYON is currently leading Stormwind(and likely the Alliance, although that part of the lore is kinda silent)
Legally he is King of Stormwind but he is currently on a big Vacation. Who knows when he will be back.
