Oh no.
Maybe I should do it on my shaman or hunter instead…

IM thinking moving this guy Horde as well now that cross faction is a thing, always felt orc warlocks from the burning blade as thematically correct.

So I actually looked at the wowhead article on the orc quest chain and it’s missing the ghosts quest, where we talk with the spirits of Grom, Saurfang, Broxigar, Orgrim, Durotan and Draka and the Thunder Ridge spirit quest.
Not sure why they dropped the ball there.

the orc heritage armor didn’t vibe with me it felt more like hunter armor more then a heritage armor and didn’t really give options like the human armor sets to change that like pants or chest and shoulders i wish they redo it in next patch because i cant find a way to make it look better with other armors because of the color and style and that includes the human heritage set too the shoulders looked awful, all in all i just didn’t like how they made it wish they listen more to the players better about it but knowing them they just ignore us like before

I thought both of the heritage armor questlines were great. The human questline felt like a microcosm of those quests of old, a journey and an epic resolution. I actually, legitimately grinned ear to ear at the ending of the Human questline, when all the guards salute you with their swords. It felt good. I also thought it was really awesome that they incorporated the Human racial to break stuns into the questline. I actually had the thought ‘It would be so cool if they tied the stun removal racial into the quest’ and they did, and I really appreciated that.
The Orc questline was also good. It felt like a big family reunion, and it addressed an issue that people have long since had, with Orc clans having no identity and being completely homogenized into the Horde. Since the Horde as changed, I think it’s a good idea for the Orcs to return to having their own individuated clans and customs.
Also I skimmed the thread so maybe I missed a post but, can anyone confirm if the different Orc clans give you different quests? I went with Frostwolves, and was tasked with hunting a giant white raptor with no armor on and painting myself in its blood. I’m curious to know if the quest you’re sent on differs between clans substantially.

You know that’s not something I actually thought about it. Though now that you mention when I did the quest, the other two or three orcs I saw do the quest with me also had Frostwolf banners.
I think Blizzard would just have the banner represent the clan difference, but I’ve been surprised before… like I never would have expected Gorgonna to return as the new Warsong Chieftain.
My orc death knight is exalted with Orgrimmar, so when I get around to repeating the heritage armor with him I’ll post if there’s a difference, if no one else has confirmed a difference by then.

I imagine that a lot of people doing the quest will either be Frostwolf because of Thrall, or Warsong because of Grom.
I went with Frostwolf because I felt from an RP perspective they fit my character best as a ‘fight with vigor and fury, but fight for the right reasons’, whereas Warsong has had a lot of its legacy tainted by Grom and Garrosh, depending on who you ask on that.
I noticed that when you get your clan banner you are just stuck with that clan you chose. Forever. I get that they wanted that to be a meaningful choice, but I don’t know how much I like it. What if one day I think Warsong banner is cool and wanna go with that, perhaps one day Shattered Hand? I dunno. I get the decision, I’m not complaining about it, I just don’t know how to feel about it.

I know what you mean. My shaman here went with the Frostwolf banner because it fit, he’s a shaman and Thrall. However with my death knight, I don’t know which banner to pick. There’s that part me that saying go for the Warsong, for Grom! But then there’s another part of me going “No, go for a different clan, Frostwolf and Warsong are to obvious.”
Yeah, that surprised me and I kind of wonder if that will have some kind of impact in the long run. Like say the orcs get a second set of race quests, like the blood elves did, and we are treating as being apart of the clan we picked either by the text or the quest giver depends on the clan. For example Bleeding Hollow orcs getting the quest from Jorin Deadeye, while the Frostwolves receive it from Thrall.

That’s going to be a little weird on my only remaining orc, an unrepentant warlock veteran of the first two wars who was merely more genuinely loyal to the Horde than to to himself/the Legion like GulDan was. Oh well, story and RP segregation and all that!
as long as Anduin’s return happens after the game is dead so it only takes place in the woefully void-like imaginations of the writers, I’m happy.
I really want him to come back as a lightbound puppet, being the herald for the incoming army of light ready to lead us all in our war against the void. Have him attempt to forcibly take back control of the Alliance and needs to be stopped.
Him teaming up with a lightbound Garrosh would just be perfect.

the dudes best friends are literally a tauren who has followed the two insane horde leaders and killed a number of his people. Also a black dragon whose actions that lead an invasion of his home and again death of multiple of his subjects and ultimately lead to his father’s death.
The guys not just nice he is too damned naive and the entire warcraft universe bends around him to justify it. He is a literal blackhole of writing which is slowly destroying the game.

Human heritage armor quest chain over on wowhead, as I don’t have a human character I am uncertain if anything is missing… like in the wowhead orc heritage armor write up.
He wasn’t so bad back when he was a foil for his hot-tempered father. Now, he exists purely to be loved by The Good and despised by The Evil.

I don’t get how Anduin in his short tenure is the one to “root out corruption” dude was literally a king for a year(and dealing with a world war and a legion invasion that whole time) before being yeeted into the maw, how the hell did he find time to deal with this? What was Turaylon and Varian doing during their time, did they not have anything to do with this?
Honestly sometimes the way shaw talks about Anduin I think he just has a thing for blonde young boys.

Anyone know of a way to change clans post-questline? I went with Blackrock cuz I liked their WOD aesthetic but Dragonmaw banner is better for this mog.
Apparently there IS a way to swap your clan with an NPC in Razor Hill after the questline is complete.
I played through on my orc warlock and got some interesting dialogue:
Joining the Bleeding Hollow gave me the same questline to hunt the raptor as everyone else, so that doesn’t vary.
Ritssyn Flamescowl, from the Black Harvest, was off to the side, and he had some extra dialogue just for orc warlocks. He thanked me for helping to make warlocks more openly accepted in orc society, and implied that I was the reason he was invited to the party at all.
(I saw a Shadowmoon priest NPC as well, so I think there might be more than a few of these class-specific dialogues. I am extremely impressed with all the detail that went into this questline.)
Nazgrim was also there, and he ended up talking with the other Warsong. They reaffirmed that even as a death knight, he was still serving with honor and was still considered a member of the Warsong clan.
