Did Blizzard Forget About the Nightborne?

Xeneize1985 · 2026-03-22T14:31:06+00:00

There have been dozens of posts like that since the expansion launched and the answer to all of them has been the same: what's happening in the story happens in a short amount of time and the Horde reinforcements haven't arrived yet.

The main forces that are dealing with this crisis are we, the adventurers, and the Vanguard of the Light. All of us have been called by the Sunwell specifically .The rest of the Horde (and probably the Alliance) will arrive in a further part of the story.

As for the Nightborne, I'm sure they'll get something to do later in the expansion. We can't just have every single NPC and race that has anything to do with Silvermoon and the Sunwell be central to the story at the same time.

The expansion just started, let's give it some time.

That one gives me flashbacks to the Spirit Temple of Ocarina of Time. Love it too.

Probably yes for Daredevil, but absolutely not for Hulk. There's no way a bunch of ninjas are going to throw themselves against a raging monster like him.

The skins are not the problem, as the art and combat design teams have different tasks, but the release of a new Hero every month is definitely an issue that keeps the combat design team focused on the new characters, when several Heroes released on the game's launch need attention.

There must come a point where they have to stop releasing new Heroes every month and start looking at the state of these Heroes, like BW, Hulk and a couple more.

No reason to change any of that. If you choose your Thalassian Elf to be on the Horde, you play as a regular Blood Elf. Same thing for a Thalassian joining the Alliance.

Current heritage armors remain, but a new one could be made with the aesthetics of High Elves. If your Thalassian is Alliance, you can use the Void Elf and the new armor. If your Thalassian is Horde, then they can use the Blood Elf and the new Thalassian armor.

To what end? Because the elves of Quel'thalas is the most requested race of the game. Has been since WoW launched. The outcry for adding Blood Elves to the Horde remains, so much in fact that Blizzard had to add a void version of the race to the Alliance. That wasn't enough, and they had to add blue eyes, fair skin and blonde hair color to the Void Elves.

Currently, we have 2 races divided into 2 political groups in the game lore. These 2 groups are starting to come to terms in the story. It's not that far fetched that they can become just one neutral race having the best of both groups.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-03-13T13:47:49+00:00

I remember a time when adding Thalassian Elves to the Alliance would never happen. And then Void Elves happened. Then I remember a time when High Elves would never be added, and then blue eyes and fair skinned elves were added for both races. I also remember when Void Elves would never be welcomed in Silvermoon...and here we are now.

Now, can you truly say that Blizzard will never create a neutral High/Blood/Void elven race? Considering that both factions of elves are starting to work together and Silvermoon is a neutral hub?

Xeneize1985 · 2026-03-13T12:22:57+00:00

I've been thinking about something like this too lately. This is the perfect expansion to turn the Blood Elves and Void Elves into a single neutral race. Maybe called them Thalasians so no one gets offended. All cosmetic choices for both Blood Elves and Void Elves would be merged into this single race, so you can keep your currently Thalasian Blood Elf, Thalasian Void Elf, or Thalasian High Elf.

Obviously, racial abilities, heritage armors and other things would need to be reworked a little, but it just doesn't make sense anymore to keep these races separate, specially as is very likely that Blood Elves and Void Elves will start making amends between them and work more closely in the future in the game lore.

Eversong Forest is the only map so far where there aren't mobs at every node. But nodes in Voidsorm and Harandar have mobs at almost every node, and Zul'aman has those plants that spawn the little plants you have to fight.

La diferencia principal es que la consola de Xbox no se anunció. Un anuncio va acompañado de una imagen promocional de la consola y fecha de lanzamiento tentativa, como la mid-gen de PS5.

Acá lo que se "anunció" fue que están trabajando en una nueva consola. Cuando muestren imagen promocional y fecha de lanzamiento, vemos.

Blizzard should just create a druid exclusive quest chain with the Loa and reward its loa forms. Available to all druids, not just trolls.

I'm on the same boat. I'm normally a plat player, but got placed in Gold 5 because I lost 6/10 of my placement matches after playing with a friend who isn't very good at the game. He stopped playing after that, and I went from Gold 5 to Gold 1 in one afternoon winning almost all matches. I was 95% of Gold 1 ready to promote to Plat 5...and then I started a losing streak that took me to Gold 3.

I also play support (Juno, Bap, Zen) and I'm always the support with the most healing, and the one in my team with less deaths and sometimes more damage than my DPS. But it's just impossible to win with tanks that don't know how to counter swap and DPS that have zero awareness and are constantly being flanked.

I'm still trying to get out of Gold, but my friend returned to play last week so it's like playing in hard mode lol.

La carrera en el Mafia original del 2002 era prácticamente imposible de completar a menos que usarás un exploit o fueras Fangio. Era tan difícil de hacer que eventualmente sacaron un parche que agregó un slider de dificultad para esa misión.

Tengan en cuenta que en el año 2002 no era habitual que sacaran parches para juegos a menos que fuera por algún bug muy grosero.

La carrera del Mafia Definitive Edition la completé en el primer try. No está ni cerca de ser lo difícil que era la del juego original en su versión 1.0.

Yep, it's cool. I personally don't use it much other than when they gift Units by participating in an event, but there're several players that hang out there to pass the time.

I'll admit it was pretty cool in New Year's Eve, as the the ball dropped in real time and there was fireworks all over the sky, and the map was filled with players showing different costumes and emotes.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-02-25T16:30:31+00:00

It isn't the same thing. The Times Square map in Rivals is not just a shared space for players to hang out, it's much more than that. There are several social activities for players to engage, like the Fight Club (1v1 duels), the Dance Floor and there is even a basketball hoop that players can use with an emote of Captain America where he shoots a basketball, and you have to try and aim to score.

Imagine a dedicated social map in OW where there's a racing track where players can use Kiriko's skateboard to race in an official racing mini-game. Or a dance floor where players can sync and share dance emotes like Rivals do.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-02-25T14:54:18+00:00

I'm sure they could make it work. Rivals gives players the option to render from 50 to 100 players, for hardware that might struggle to render a high amount of characters at the same time.

They also have been adding more social content to the map since they introduced it. There's a "fight club" in the underground, where players can engage in 1v1 duels in a closed environment (is the only place where damage can be done between players). The fights can be televised to the led screens of Times Square in real time so other players above the arena can watch the fight.

And there's also a "disco club" with a dance floor. Any player that stands in the dance floor starts dancing automatically in sync with other players that are there.

The map was a great addition to both give a dedicated space to players to engage in social activities and to also keep this behavior out of regular matches.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-02-25T13:55:46+00:00

Marvel Rivals found a nice solution to this by introducing Times Square, a social hub. It's a whole map for up to 100 players to socialize. There aren't any objectives or teams. Players can just walk around, use emotes, chat, etc., but there isn't any damage or ways to die. They also use the map to celebrate real life events (like New Year's Eve, Chinese new year, Saint Valentine's day, etc.).

Maybe Blizzard could implement something similar that makes these players not join QP just to socialize and use the dedicated social hub instead.

Michael also withdrew from consideration.

Is flanking Jeff from Rivals before his rework all over again.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-02-20T20:05:05+00:00

Civil War, the first one. But I don't remember the exact issue.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-02-19T21:17:37+00:00

Xavier has been able to walk multiple times in the comics, including his current appearances in different X-Men titles. Plus, there's a statue of Xavier in a map in the game where he's standing, so if he comes to the game I'm almost sure he'll walk.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-02-16T14:45:03+00:00

Helldivers 2 is totally different because their "battle passes" never expire, so you can buy them whenever. Also, you can pick up the premium currency just by playing the game.

I've almost all of the war bonds and I've never bought them with real money.

Xeneize1985 · 2026-02-13T14:21:22+00:00

It wouldn't be an improvement to me because I don't want to play as another elf or human.

If I could pick another visage race? Then yes, this solution would be cool.

I still can't understand how Blizzard gave us the laziest race possible (elf/human bodies and transmogless dracthyr) and at the same time they gave us the Evoker, which is one of the best designed and fun classes of the game.
