I'm very glad that they're updating the Earth Elementals. They were really starting to show their age. Hopefully we can expect the same for the other Elementals :)

Especially the air elementals, those things look rough. I'm sure the art folks can come up with something cool tho.

I know that Mages would really appreciate a new water elemental. They have been requesting one for years.

I hope mages get water elementals that match the water style from the artifact staff. I'd be tickled if they could get their elemental in a color that matched the tints they unlocked.

Rergh. Mag'har 'lightbound' story arc SO STUPID.

STOOOOPIIIIID.
'yes let's take the Jewish-coded persecuted refugees and the only female protagonist we've ever made that doesn't exist to be some dude's arm candy or a raging nutbag and turn them into the Spanish Inquisition!!!! THAT'LL BE EDGY!??!!!'

Rant on forum overran the character limit.

You're not alone, Nacht. We've been having a little discussion about it in the BfA story thread. Unless there is so much more to this (and I doubt the Alliance will get a perspective), it is probably one of the most ridiculous things that Blizz has done in regards to the lore.

Agreed. There is the story thread for a reason.

Fun little thing I found; walk close to low level hostile mobs, but not close enough to aggro them. They'll turn and look at you like an NPC looks in the direction of a stealthed player that's too close. That's new!

Quick question how the heck do you get to the Broken Isles or Pandaria in beta? >_>

You can either do the usual questlines to reach them or you can ask a mage to make a portal for you to Dalaran. :)

I think the only option is to find a mage. I just asked in Trade chat and someone ported me. :)

I did the trick by myself. Created a mage, opened a portal to Legion Dal, put a group in group finder with auto accept. I then logged on the character I wanted to port, joined the group, clicked the portal. The problem with this method is you don't get the Dalaran Hearthstone.

Oh, ya know I forgot mages learned portals through trainers haha. I made a mage and was annoyed it didn't come with all the portals and gave up ahaha. Whoops.

Aye, there was some datamined text for Zidormi regarding Tirisful and Teldrassil a couple builds back. Glad to see that there is a way to see how they once were :)

I'm relieved to hear this, Tirisfal and Undercity are my favourite places in game and I would have hated to lose access to them forever. If they have the tech I see no reason not to let us phase back and forth, their original idea of the destruction having a 'real permanent impact' didn't sit right with me.
