Seriously.
This is absolutely insane. Please, please tell me you guys aren’t seriously doing this.
Even worse, listed are “Lightforged Draenei” getting Warlocks.
Does… nobody on the Dev team care about the Lore anymore…?
the lore went out the window with Shadowlands

I know, right? Hilarious.
Now the doorway is open for Red Eredar.
There better be an in-game lore justification for this.

The Lightforged Draenei gather to welcome one more into their ranks.
Captain Fareeya: Brothers and sisters! Let us rejoice for Yomamaissofat who has passed his trials to become one of us! Yomamaissofat, how will you help us in our fight against the remaining forces of the Burning Legion, the Legion we have been fighting against for thousands of years? Will you be a paladin, a mage, a priest?
Yomamaissofat: I’m going to be a warlock!
Captain Fareeya and the rest of the LF Draenai: collective facepalm

I’ll thank you not to impose your morality on our prospective students.

No one in the game does anymore either. The “Lore” is an absolute joke

Sir, this is a fictional video game
Calm down, it’s not a big deal and no one cares. The lore hasn’t made sense for years, the sky didn’t fall and we’re still here

Nope. And unless they create storyline that justifies this… I’m done. I’m out. Gone.
I also find it an amusing coincidence that I cannot get into the Bnet account page to see when my sub expires and to cancel it.

It went out much faster than that… A lot was changed about established lore all the way back in 2004 for World of Warcraft specifically, but I think even between Warcraft installments there were lore changes.

at least give a reason for all the sudden warlocks…
also, there’s the draenor orcs becoming warlocks too, and even tauren…
highmountain too.
didn’t the highmountain have issues with feltotem in the first place?!

Hopefully they add in some kind of reason for all the new classes although I’m just going with it’s a convergence of timelines and that somehow will effect things… idk.
I may make a light forged one for funsies / to unlock the heritage armor (I still haven’t done that).

This NEEDS storyline. Absolutely 100000% NEEDS storyline justification for all of these races. If there isn’t, then this game is just a waste of space for lore.

i could understand it if they said they were dominating demons to try n make em light forged but this screams lore breaking.

The fact that the Alliance got Void Elves and Lightforged over High Elves and Broken already proved that the Lore is dead.

Well, sympathetic as I am to your position, prove to me that nobody did not ask for this. How many forum threads are there saying “no class gating!”. You’re being disingenuous to suggest our fellow players don’t want this.
Can’t really select lore over fan choice as truth because space goats, in fact, do not exist. The story can be changed.

Irrelevant to the point most of us are making: there needs to be storyline justification for these races.

Well we’re one big step closer to all races, all classes now, seeing as how a number of these were major ‘this race could not be this class’ ones.

No, it doesn’t
And “while we’re at it” I want Panda Druids and Gnome Paladins

Draenei should not be allowed to become warlocks, especially the LFD.
This is such a lore-breaking change.
