>We are still learning more about the event, but here is what we know about the portion that takes place in the city so far:
>Players in Stormwind or Orgrimmar will randomly hear whispers offering them untold power for their services.
>Players then have 5 abilities and 9 stacks of Frail Mind.
>Turn Ally - Impart Dark Whispers into the mind of an ally after 10 sec. Using this ability will out you as an ally of the Legion for 15 sec. Removes one stack of Frail Mind.
>When you are visible as an ally of the Legion, the guards will attack you.
>Cloak of Darkness - Vanish into the darkness for 20 sec.
>Hysteria - Cause hysteria in a group of targets, making them fight with allies for 10 sec. Using this ability will out you as an ally of the Legion for 15 sec. Does not affect targets that have been recently marked.
>Illusionary Guise - Take on the guise of a target. This includes most NPCs, even High Overlord Saurfang.
>Once all 9 stacks of Frail Mind are removed, you can use Give In To Darkness and become a Dreadlord for a minute!
>Unfortunately it looks like the event will be easy to opt out of, as you can right click to cancel the whispers.
>Other plays cannot see the whispers buff on you.
I like that they have to leak it otherwise no one would be in stormwind of orgrimmar.
>>335772973
Wow! A whole minute!
>>335772973
>all that bullshit just to be a dreadlord for one minute
Sounds gay like everything in modern WoW
>>335772973
Don't forget SW is getting it's park back, but as a memorial for Varian
>>335772973
I thought that the Nostalrious fiasco is the pre-expansion event, with Blizzard showcasing corruption as a nod to the Legion.
>>335772973
lame, sounds like a copy of the scourge event, only that you can opt out
come up with something new blizzard
>>335775846
>lame, sounds like a copy of the scourge event
With a million players leaving to play a quite literal copy of Vanilla, and another million scattered on other private servers playing BC or WotLK, I don't think its surprising Blizzard tries to give them some good old to come back.
>remember the scourge event? well we have it again! $15 a month!
>>335776757
the difference is that people on private servers want to play a completely different game, while blizzard just recycles things either out of laziness or for some cheap nostalgia cash in
>>335776845
Private servers ARE nostalgia cash ins.
>>335772973
>"Lets recapture the pre-expansion event from WotLK that people keep talking about, but only make it "fun" for everyone!"
>>335776915
no
first they don't cash in if they don't make any money
second, that's like saying distributing an old game is a nostalgia cash in
>>335777149
All the private servers that have more than 200 people playing have ways to monetize.
Running one costs money, so naturally people try to make it self sustainable, and then inevitably profitable.
>>335777215
>All the private servers that have more than 200 people playing have ways to monetize.
no
nostalrius didn't earn any money and there are tons of other servers that don't either
stop talking shit fuckboi
>>335777387
>nostalrius didn't earn any money
Nostalrius quite literally sold gold for dollars, on their web page.
Thats why they got shut down. You are uninformed.
>>335777464
>Nostalrius quite literally sold gold for dollars, on their web page.
that's a blatant lie
>>335777564
True, it was on a separate web page. My bad.
>>335772973
Literally no one cares about Legion, it's pretty sad. Blizzard dun goofed with WoD.
DARKNESS
>>335778824
Because it wasn't done by them, can't really stop that from happening - blizz couldn't either and goldfarming is a legit business in china thanks to it.
>blizzard will never make an event like this again
>"m-muh poor players who only log in for 30 minutes per month, because they have to take care of their wife's son"
>>335781356
CALLED
>>335772973
So it's a Facebook tier rollercoaster event for two minutes, or perpetual for a few weeks, like the pre-WOTLK event? Sounds very... contained, with no spilling.
>>335782305
God forbid the event disrupts the 14-month long routine. Wouldn't want people do experience something different for a fraction of a fraction of their playtime
But my character hates the Legion, why would I become their ally?
>>335777464
>Nostalrius quite literally sold gold for dollars, on their web page.
>Thats why they got shut down. You are uninformed.
Not true at all. Fuck off Blizzard shill.
>>335784686
You STILL don't understand that everything that ever happens is because of CORRUPTION?
>>335784740
>blizzard decides for me whether my RP character is corruptable or not
Fuckin' hell.
Does anyone remember the pre wotlk event? That shit was kinda fun
>>335778824
cause goldfarmers did the actual goldfarming, just like is the case with retail wow or every other MMO
>>335784953
What do your sexual preferences have to do with your moral alignment?
>>335785053
I don't play on RP servers for the E
>>335784953
>not just right clicking off the buff because you hate fun
>>335785186
The problem is Blizzard thinks it's okay to decide for me whether or not my character is corruptable in the first place, from an RP standpoint.
>>335776990
fucking "fun" has killed the gaming industry. you can't define fun so they usually just go for "easy and flashy".
they're trying to make stuff that appears organically and on accident happen synthetically and purposefully
>people thinking scourge event was pre WotLK and not pre naxx
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>335778824
Also a lie. Nice backpeddling you corporate shill.
>>335785291
They're talking about the plague event. The Pre-Naxx Scourge Invasion event was brought back for WoTLK.
>>335772973
So It's basically confirmed that the big bad of Legion is gonna be an Old God?
>>335785217
>RP players
>>335785354
Why do you say that?
It's probably Azshara pretending to work for the Legion, but anyone who knows about the lore knows she's secretly working for the Old Gods and using the Legion as a tool in their name.
>>335785217
>Blizzard thinks it's okay to decide for me
No, you decide. That's why you can right click the buff.
>>335785398
>Dragonslayers and pvpbabbies
You are playing an MMORPG
RP is part of the G ;)
>>335785442
No the problem is you get the choice to become corrupted, as if you were corruptable in the first place. NOT EVERYONE IS CORRUPTABLE BLIZZARD STOP WITH THIS LAZY ASS FUCKING WRITING.
>>335785443
>RP is part of the G ;)
I guess you'll need to tell Blizzard that:^)
>>335785217
when people give you the buff it's literally just "hey bro want some sick powers? all you have to do is renounce your faith and turn to the daaaark siiiide"
right clicking is literally a "no thank you"
>>335785484
>IMPLYING THAT WHOEVER IS DOING THE CORRUPTING IS GOING TO TRY WITH YOU ANYWAY
>>335785586
not going to try, rather.
>>335785586
An uncorruptable person shouldn't hear such whispers in the first place/
>>335785484
>as if you were corruptable in the first place
From a creative standpoint, this is actually better.
Any time a character is faced with and chooses to resist temptation, it is always more interesting than simply being immune to it because. The struggle and triumph is what gives a character depth.
So in this instance, you are actually arguing in favor of lazy writing by saying "These guys are immune to any temptation because they are awesome and amazing."
>>335785728
How do you know my character hasn't been played for over 10 years and has become uncorruptable as a result?
Reminder that the amazing TBC community is what killed events like that.
>Guards will attack you
>People can literally walk into enemy towns and solo everything because of the inflated states on PvP gear
Oh no whatever will I do
>>335785782
Nothing is uncorruptable
>>335785782
At no point has it ever been stated your characters are immune from any kind of otherwordly influence, demonic or otherwise. That's not up to you, it's up to the writers who decide the rules of the world. Look at the whispers of C'thun, or the abilities of the Sha of Doubt.
Your characters are not world striding gods or paragons of purity - they're random shitters who'll do anything if you pay them. The actually powerful characters are guys like Tirion Fordring.
>>335785723
"Hey bro you want sick demon powers? HEY BRO YOU WANT SICK DEMON POWERS? ...hey dude are you ignoring me?"
"What, of course not! I'd never ignore a fellow champion of the Alliance/Horde!"
>>335781869
The amount of whine scourge event caused is undeniable proof that playerbase was already rotten to the core in BC.
>>335777149
I would absolutely argue distributing an older game again is one of the most blatant 'nostalgia cash ins' you can possibly do- see the nintendo virtual console and 'remastered' anything
>>335785809
How so?
>>335786238
are you implying redistribution is bad?
>>335778824
embarassing shill
>>335786352
Are you one of those nostalgianiggers who claim that everything used to be better but didnt play back then?
The WOTLK launch event at the end of TBC was cancelled early on because the playerbase bitched REALLY hard.
People were offended because they couldnt idle in Stormwind and Orgrimmar all day.
After that Blizzard never tried something like that again.
How do you guys think WoW will all end? I'm guessing the sleeping titan in Azeroth's core is going to wake up
>>335776990
>Remember the WoTLK pre-release event! Wasn't that a blast! Too bad shitters whined and Blizzard will never do something like that again.
>They do something like that again
>Endless bitching about how it's not good enough or how it's a rehash
I wish cognitive dissonance was deadly so you'd all fuck off forever.

>>335786494
I still got 5 haunted mementos on diff alts. the amount of fucking people thinking I am dumb enough to throw them a rare as fuck item is amazing.
I wonder if they do something similar.
>>335787040
well at the time people didnt think it would be rare.
I still have mine too.
>>335787102
no one knew about it before the masses complained and only then did they really start whining that never got a chance to get it.
>We explored options for developing classic servers and none could be executed without great difficulty. If we could push a button and all of this would be created, we would. However, there are tremendous operational challenges to integrating classic servers, not to mention the ongoing support of multiple live versions for every aspect of WoW.
Loving

>>335775136
this is really neat
>>335775136
We need more alliance architecture.
I'm a horde player but its shitty to just see alien or orc shit for almost a decade.
I mean, its kinda understandable. In vanilla we had Azeroth and that had its human areas, and in shit like TBC its obviously different, but still.
I wanna see more castles and shit.
>>335787390
In general, there needs to be more non-human Alliance buildings and non-Orc Horde buildings.
I remember Vengeance Landing as being really cool because it was uniquely Forsaken, without just being dilapidated buildings or crypts.
>>335786238

Didn't think so.
Anyway all your posterboys and armchair activists will be back for Legion anyways so it doesn't matter. People unsub when they're bored and resub when there's more content. You don't have to be such an absolutist just because you're a bored nostcuck who needs to twist reality
>>335791648
Blizzard has the same problem that companies like Gamefreak have; They try to solely appeal to nostalgiafags who are never ever going to come back into the series no matter how hard they try to market towards them.
They'd be best if they just moved past them and ignored them.

If Legion is WoD 2.0 WoW is going to die
No questions, it'll probably take a year or even more but after that the only time they will ever have subs is immediately after an expansion
and at that point, the game might as well be an episodic single player story focused titleand even now, I have to question why they haven't already made the jump
>>335791035
It's not like Cairne was ever particularly active. It's been all about Green Moses and the Queen Bitch of the Universe since day one. Alliance only got Varian because Bolvar was literally who up until WotLK and they needed a hot head to keep the faction conflict going.
That said, Varian has always been a key plot element except during BC. His absence was a big plot driver during vanilla, and the kings of Stormwind have always been a central figure in Warcraft Lore. Usually their death, given the Great Grandpappy King Wrynn died the day the Orcs showed up, Grandpappy King Llane died during the first war, and now Varian dies at the onset of the latest Legion invasion. You would think Anduin would start sweating bullets about meeting a grisly death at the hands of more alien invaders.

Its probably far less. There were only 5 mil left when I quit again, and that was many months ago before a content drought. Its probably closer to 2.5, might spike back up to 5 for Legion if they're extremely lucky.

Nost had a million people. And that's just a vanilla server. Add BC and Wrath? Easily a million people would return.

Nost had a million registered accounts. Blizzard has (generously) 3 million people playing WoD.
1/3 = 33.3% (repeating, of course, HUE)
If you think there are more than 3 mil on live with a content drought that's going to rival post-ICC you're retarded.

It_was_. Mostly because they had to actually put effort into that one, seeing how they didn't have much to work with except the concept of panda people.
>>335792186
Fun fact: this facebook tier follower minigame is also present in Neverwinter and Star Trek Online, two shitty f2p MMO's published by a Chinese company.
This type of 'gameplay' is the absolute cheapest shit you can put in the game while still calling it content. Blizzard isn't implementing it because they think it's fun or anything, they do it because it saves them shit tons of money and work, and they know players will still eat it up.
>>335792797
>only Nost players will return for Legacy servers

This is complete bullshit on your part, nobody asked for WoD. Who gives a fuck about Garrosh or Gul'dan?
It's essentially an idea for a CoT instance they decided to make an expansion out of. Also it could segue into Legion.

I literally spent hours chasing players across entire continents trying to infect them. I'm surprised there isn't a private server out there with this feature active 24/7.
>>335787040
The invasion thing was extra and gave me a bunch of free purples to go into wrath
>>335793294
What annoys me is that it was the perfect opportunity to reboot the timeline and let the players see and take part in the first War and for the Orcs to not be insufferable cunts about it. Instead we got lore figure loot pinatas all day every day.

See this pic? I went back to try my free 7 days that they give to returning players. This was at peak hours in the day. At 3 am est, there was only 1 server with enough people to be 'high'. This time they really did kill the game.
>>335793294
>This is complete bullshit on your part
More like a misfire on Blizzard's part. The people that have whined about Turalyon and Alleria, for example, are real even though those two characters were never in WoW to begin with. It's just that these people ended up being another vocal meme minority that didn't know what they wanted anyway.

They already marketed WoD as BC2.0. That's the only reason WoD subs spiked through the roof, and also the reason those sub numbers fucking tanked by 50% in a matter of months.
People have been fooled each expansion since Wrath into coming back. Which they will at first...but they won't last.
And I'm not talking about a competing game so "only 5 million" applies when BC and Wrath were approaching 3 times that many regular players.
>>335793091
Yes I am. You implied that some Nost players also played retail so they wouldn't technically be a new customer. Well, people who didn't play Nost will return to play Legacy as well.

That's the problem with Sylvanas.
She's waifubait.
She can't be killed off because that's all she is.
She's really not even that interesting of a character, and her story ended at the end of Wrath and the beginning of Cataclysm.

Not making a background for your toons.
>>335794646
Because the original game was called "Warcraft: Orcs and Humans" and thus Orcs and Humans are the main characters.
Other races do need more love, though, I agree. Or at least they did before I quit.

all it took was logging in during regular peak hours to see a maximum of 4k players online. i guess you'd have to have played on the server to know this though.

It's the same thing with Orcs for the horde faction. They only focus on Humans and mostly Orcs (the last expansions).

>>335794868
The original yes, but the setting has changed alot in the last two decades. We now have multiple races and the human wank is BS. The while alliance story of MoP was pretty much "Humans are better than everyone at everything".
And yeah its still a problem, if anything more so. Now blizz added all these new buildings for the sake of garrison that are going to get reused heavily, all but one of which is entirely human themed. The only other alliance race to really do anything in WoD were the dwarves: but only the unplayable ones (ongoing issue with alliance dating back to wotlk where high elves took a lot of focus), and kinda the draenei but not really since it was all the draenor draenei doing stuff, and they're staying on Draenor.

At least it makes sense in lore terms in the case of STO. You are a captain; you would have to deal with duty officers and away missions that run the gamut from replacing your supply of alcohol to ordering one of your chief security officers to oversee a diplomatic incident. STO also has whole quest chains and storylines built into this system. I mean, it's just text, but the flavour is nice. And it really is entirely optional.
In world of warcraft, your player character running a garrison is a nice idea but: it's a stretch to make it fit with the lore; the execution is terrible; it's retarded that it is practically mandatory in WoD. Firstly, you're a mercenary and even the best mercenary isn't going to be contracted by a sovereignty to oversee the establishment of a colony. Secondly, establishing garrisons in an alternate version of an alien world makes very little sense. The Alliance/Horde isn't looking to take over Draenor. They're looking to get in and out fast. Garrisons, if they had to be implemented, would have made a great deal more sense lorewise back in MoP. Finally, the flavour text is fucking terrible and repeats itself constantly. I get that people don't care about the lore anymore, but at least STO puts in the effort to actually make the follower mission descriptions varied and meaningful.
These new class halls just look like more of the same. Class halls are a fantastic idea, but they should have gotten rid of the follower system entirely and replaced it with class based storylines and henchmen of varying skill that you unlock and build up as you progress - maybe even an apprentice of some sort. You know, a sort of three way mix between GW henchmen system, SWTOR companions and FFXIV class storyline progression. That would have been a whole lot better than what is essentially shaping up to be farmville 2.0.The thing that really infuriates me about all this shit is that you just know it's going to be a mandatory part of the experience.

The problem with Orcs is that they were both very important in the Horde while also constantly being the villain focus. The Hordes many races were doing FAR more than the Alliances many races.
Does anyone know how much gold I could get within a month or so, I'm considering getting WoD for $10 and a month of WoW but I don't feel like paying monthly so I'd like to buy tokens off the marketplace and I hear Garrisons basically make the game free with how much gold they let you accumulate

It's still increased server capacity and it has nothing to do with your memory of server pop, my high pop server went to medium and the other server I played on earlier that I left some alts on that was medium is now low, and it changed overnight after the server capacity patch to brace for the legion launch lag impact
>>335795247
Those are game failures though, imo. MoP was a dogshit expansion, and garrisons/class halls were and still are a terrible idea.
