When you die as a Night Elf and have to run back to your body, your ghost is a wisp. This is a really fun little detail that adds to the overall world building feel of Azeroth. I think Undead characters should have Human models for their ghosts after player death and while running back. It would make sense, as their souls aren't rotten corpses and could accurately reflect their appearance in life. Not like other people besides other ghosts can see it, so it shouldn't get too confusing, and again, adds a fun little detail to worldbuilding.

Even though I'm playing on the Korean server, I managed to snag my dream name!

We’ve updated the previous post in this thread with some additions that were intended to be listed.

Additional updates to Racial Abilities and Talents include:

Orc
Blood Fury’s cooldown reduced to 2 minutes (was 3 minutes).

Troll
Berserking duration increased to 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).

Undead
Touch of the Grave internal cooldown reduced to 15 seconds (was 25 seconds).

We’d also like to clarify that for Skyborne:
Charged persists through death, and is removed upon entering a raid.
Attuned persists through death, and is removed upon entering a raid.

I enjoy 5man PVE content. M+ in retail is a decent solution I think that let's players get end game rewards for running dungeons with a variable difficulty. Everyone can find their level, and improve if they want to.

I love that M+ recycles old and leveling dungeons and let's players experience older dungeons with new twists.

I hope they introduce a system that achieves that and makes 5man dungeons relevant late game, with a difficulty slider and allows players to progress and get end game rewards. Either raid level gear or a separate dungeon gear track that is similar to the PVP gear progression would be nice.

What do you think? Would you like leveling dungeons and dungeons in general to stay relevant late game?

EDIT: It seems like a lot of people think I am yearning for a carbon copy of M+. That is not the case. I simply expressed a desire that dungeons should stay relevant PVE content. They did in TBC even with Heroics, and before the nerf doing a times Shattered Halls run was actually a challenge, a fun challenge. Then they made Heroics relevant with the badge system, and I had badge gear pieces up until the Sunwell. That was fun. I hope they do something like that again.

Tauren have the ability to harvest additional herbs bc lore reasons etc.

Why not allow dwarves the same ability but for mining?
Who uses find treasure?

Many players have been pointing out that their timezones, plus their average playtime, won't ever allow them to see the daylight and/or nighttime in Forever.

One way to solve it is to change the day/night cycles in-game to be 21 real-life hours long.

I made a simple graphic to help visualize how that will impact players. Logging into WoW at around the same time everyday will allow players to experience the full immersion through the week while having little to no impact on players with more free time in their hands.

The shift is large enough to make sure a player that plays an average of 7 hours a week will still be able to see both day and night in Azeroth, granted they always log in the same time every day.

Edit 1: Still not allowing access as of 19:55 CET. No updates or news as of now.
Edit 2: No access at 20:15 CET. No updates from Blizzard. Current theory is that it won't happen until NA servers launch at earliest. This is not an official statement from Blizzard but speculation from the community.
Edit 3: 20:19 - reply from Blizzard NA on Twitter. They're still working on a fix.
EDIT 4: ITS UP! GET IN
Edit 5: time is 21:14 CET. It's down again. It worked for 15 minutes, congratulations to everyone who got in. I will log off now to sleep. I hope it will get up again soon.

Let's all keep our wonderful whining in a single post, but more importantly - updates about the issue.

STATUS:

No one can log into the EU servers to reserve their name. This is NOT affecting NA or other regions as they are not available yet.

It's been an hour and 30 minutes and the issue is still persisting. No need to write an additional post about it.

What do we know so far?:

On Twitter, the American WoW CS account wrote that they were working on a fix (no time-frame) as fast as they could and it would likely require a hot fix.

That's all we know. Will update once more information is coming in.

In regards to the RP-PVP realms not showing as one of the 4 possible servers (that are still down):

If the RP-PvP ruleset isn't visible when you log in, select a different ruleset first, then click Rulesets in the top navigation bar. The RP-PvP ruleset should then appear.

I can't click the "Play" button:

1. Log out of battle.net
2. Click the cogwheel at the top right
3. Set it to "Europe"
4. Log in again
5. You should now be able to click "Play" and be stuck like the rest of us.

Zierhut: Correct, correct. Now, that said, the Dark Portal exists, Northrend exists, Pandaria exists, and we could make minor forays into those areas. We might have a dungeon or a quest that takes you there for a mission or two and come back.

Those [are] things that we're not doing soon, but it is something we think about within the scope of what we might do eventually with Forever. But the key detail there is Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor are your home. You don't have capital cities, you don't have auction houses and innkeepers and things like that outside of Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. We won't introduce new capital cities in this plan. Okay. You always come home.

Jones: But I think our attitude is [that] we are in a kind of a time bubble, right? We're locked in the place in between the end of Warcraft 3 and before Burning Crusade. And everything about Azeroth existed, even Outland exists, even Northrend exists, like Quel’Thelas exists. All these places are there. And I don't think if we ever went to Northrend, we wouldn't be visiting the version that you see in Wrath of the Lich King, but could we visit some extremely hostile level 60 version of it because Arthas is still in the stage where he's sending Kel’Thuzad to Eastern Kingdoms to assault Eastern Plaguelands? We could. There's so much that we can do with the timeline that we're in.

I am pretty satisfied with this answer.

Do you agree with the idea of going to Northrend or Outland as a dungeon, or small questing zone, with EK and Kalimdor being our main locations?

This racial was, IMO, very unfairly nerfed. It was overtuned for rogues and AoE and 100% needed a tweak. But it wasn't nearly as strong as people were presenting it and didn't deserve the gutting it got. Before, this racial was simming at about 6 DPS. Now it will be like 10 DPS idk.

People were seeing it do like 5% of overall in ST at level 20 and wanted it nerfed. But this was just a consequence of having limited abilities at level 20. The ability will do progressively less and less of someone's overall dmg as they level up and HP pools start to level out + you start doing your actual rotation.

There were also clips of rogues soloing level 20 dungeons. The lifesteal did help and rogues scaled especially well before with no ICD. But one of the biggest offenders here was the enchant "Recovery" which restores 5% of your max HP after a parry or dodge and can occur every 10 seconds. Thats up to a 55% heal every minute plus potions, hp/5, etc. This enchant is still in the game, by the way. I'm not saying it should be nerfed but it's a stupid good enchant and really fun for leveling with.

In terms of sustain while leveling, it's probably about the same as troll's new +20% combat regen now for classes like warrior or rogue. Depends on gear (troll wants spirit). And prob simming for about the same. They did a good job balancing this IMO. Very similar end result on two different races but two different playstyles and gearing routes.

I was so happy You guys liked the first post so much so I had to make another one for yall. More fan art / doodles from my sketchbook. Lemme know if I should post more C:

I will destroy all Forsaken who pretend that the light is on their side. I will not stand by while they twist its sacred power to serve their own ends. They wield it as if they were chosen. They raise their holy symbols as though undeath and righteousness can coexist without consequences.

Therefore, I will establish a guild: No Pardon for the Dead

Those who seek to join must devote to the light and prove themselves through three trials. It will test your faith, commitment, and courage. If you manage to come out the other side, a final ceremony will commence beneath the holy light of the cathedral in Stormwind and you will be part of the brotherhood.

This guild will not just be about purging Azeroth of these heretics. We will also stand against all foes that stand in our way. None will escape us. NONE WILL ESCAPE OUR JUDGEMENT! They will try to fight us and they will not win. They will beg for mercy and we will not grant it. Let them wallow in pity as we stand above them. Our hammer of justice will CAVE their head in and the blood that paints the Earth will force the light to bear witness to our devotion!

If you are a Forsaken paladin reading this, know that I will find you. And I will kill you.

No Pardon for the Dead will rise. The crusade will begin.

By the Light,

Aldric Gravebane

Founder and Grand Crusader of No Pardon for the Dead
