Hub loss…no chairs…emotes that don’t emote…can’t share dances…it’s a sad time.

But we have Bel’ameth. Though I don’t recall seeing chairs (or anyone) there the few times I visited.

There’s benches. Lots of them, too. Those count, right?

I mean I guess both factions CAN go there but the whole Burning of Teldrassil makes it painfully AWKWARD for Horde players, demonstrating that we are the true victims of warcraft.

Time for a bath in the moonwell. Oh no, one of my arms rotted off. Ah well, the elves can clean it up? xD

Desperately apologising to the outraged Sentinels as my Riding Worg drinks messily from a sacred Moonwell.

Schlorp schlorp schlorp

Honestly though, this is the first expansion in a while where I’m not having to inject Copium directly into my veins to maintain any kind of enthusiasm for it. The game seems to be genuinely heading in the right direction, the story isn’t heading into stupid territory to justify War Crimes and E-Sports and we’re not being saddled with worthless Borrowed Power or hostile mechanics touted as Expansion Features.

Edit: Coming back to this, does anyone else get Gurren Lagann-vibes from the drill-staffs? Or has my paleo-gamer brain degenerated too far to be saved?

Looks like the pre-patch event/catch up gear is going to reskinned/recoloured versions of Legion Dungeon Gear and old Dalaran-themed weapons with a HD splash added to them. Eeeeeeeeenteresting …

Dagran Jr is a fire mage: https://i.imgur.com/wy9giBX.jpeg

Could anyone with an active sub post this in the story forum’s alpha thread too? Or the thread specifically about Dagran, either one. I know people there have been wondering what class he is but I can’t post there to share this with them.

The Horde has never had chairs. I can’t begin to imagine the learning curve y’all will have trying to figure out benches.

I like how the color customization lets you do cursed blue horde and red alliance symbols

I appreciate that you can entirely ignore blue/yellow/stop fighting in the road Alliance or red/skulls/death/spikes no chairs Horde and go with something else entirely.

NGL, I’m tired of cool things being blue/gold.

I’m glad we’re getting more customizable mounts. I’m a little meh about aitships but I wonder what the special raid skins would look like?
