Time to traumatize Moria by killing her husband again!
Or, more likely, this’ll all be revealed as he was secretly working with Iridikron this entire time.

I like all the updated T2 armors. I especially appreciate how they’ve managed to make Monk, Death Knight, Demon Hunter, and Evoker fit in.

Classic Timewalking I’m here for. Especially if we get the Classic version of Deadmines.

That Lordaeron backpiece is going to be ridiculously popular.

Shaman…I’m sorry.

Credit where it’s due, this new method they’ve found of cycling through old content and upscaling or tweaking it is actually pretty clever.

Should be nice getting the second thing I mainly bought this expansion for, namely Dracthyr of other classes.

Also a part of me hopes Ascension thing gets a glyph or some way to keep the old appearance at some point. Apart from it being nice to have the option, the face on the new is absolutely horrid. Also, kind of wish there were more differences between them than just color variants; not that it matters much to me personally as I hardly ever play Shaman, and when I do I avoid Ascendence, because of its aesthetics, which is definately not changing with these new models.

Not going to lie. Some of those updated armors look ssssiiiiiiick af!

I am actually kinda hyped to collect them!

A lot of commentary I’ve seen about this patch are referring to it as a win. I can’t wait for that updated Pally set.

Cool to see a judgement revamp since that’s such an iconic set. I haven’t tried out the new expansion yet but maybe November would be a good time to do so.

I’m psyched for a lot of things.

I’m sad about no Dracthyr monk. :smiling_face_with_tear:

Ooopsie! Stuff for everyone! OH, sorry shaman… have a ballon. lol

I Like that they went back and updated those sets. I wish I liked the warrior one. But I think that comes from playing a tauren. Helmets look like crap on them. At least to me. I do really like the monk one, green is my favorite color.

Anyway, it looks pretty cool. I am interesting in Timewalking and oddly enough, Korrak’s Revenge. I always liked Alterac Valley back in the day. I sucked at it, because I suck at PVP. I still kinda enjoyed back then in certain battlegrounds.

Its not the best transmog for Shamans, but eh. Eh, I say. Not everything can be a win, and just about every other set is a banger.

Gonna be a little bit fatigued trying to get Paladin, Rogue, Monk, Warrior and Death Knight sets plus whatever Chromie is doing plus whatever we’re dragging poor Moira through this time.

Let’s zogging go!

Glad I’ve got two months to get everything.

Also - post Ringing Deeps Moria’s got a little something something now she didn’t have then. Could be interesting how this interacts with the Bronzes’ wibbly wobbly shenanigans.

All and all I think this is the first anniversary event in a while I’m actually excited for.

We’ll finally get to kill Moira’s husband in front of her all together, veteran and new players, like the devs always wanted. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Magni sent us murderhobos to kill Thaurissan after he found out Moira was there of her own free will, but now I can’t confirm that on the wiki. Perhaps I was wrong. It certainly deprived him of any Father of the Year awards.

How on earth did they manage to muck up the T2 Rogue set?

ETA:

I miss when there was a glyph for ascension that just made your character more transparent with a particular color. And not all of this elemental stuff. The new forms are “fine” but not for the types of Shaman that I play.

Only good remakes out of all these are Death Knight, Shaman and Warlock.

Who decided to give blue effects to the eyes of the Judgement helmet… since they had the audacity to update the worst hunter tier in history, they could’ve at least made the eye glow on the paladin set the right color.

It’s so cool it’s happening before the next patch, too.

I have the name Dargon saved for my Dracthyr rogue on Ravenholdt.

He was too stupid to be an Evoker. Spoiler: he’s also too stupid to be a rogue.

Very hype :dracthyr_love_animated:

Happy that they’re bringing back some of the old mounts/pets. …and I’m laughing at the people who’s heads are exploding over “MUH PRESTIGE NOOOOOOO DONT LET THE PLEBS HAVE IT NOOOOOOOO:joy:

Classic Timewalking is also super hype – hope they add more dungeons to the rotation at some point, given just how many dungeons are in vanilla.

Those are baby doomguards, not dreadlords.

Dreadlords are the vampire dudes who like to pretend to be other people in disguise. Doomguards are the big mini-Kazzaks that the warlock in your raid wants to sacrifice the rogue for to summon.
