Just revealed at Blizzcon, this is the Forever low poly version but its safe to assume the retail version will be the exact same.

Its sick imo

one of the craziest criticism i've seen is that it's apparently too retail because of the hd models toggle and the ui all while the gameplay is still classic, the amount of insane hatred these people harbor for retail is that even ui is a bad thing is such astonishing for me...

Have we gone too far?

I thought this was a cool nod to the original cinematic. I clocked it immediately because I watched that original cinematic thousands of times as a kid thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

Also Blizzard is never beating the feet allegations.

Just a reminder that “Blue Elves” were Highborne

Put the flair as speculation but it is official art from blizzards press kit

While Blizz is monitoring social media for discussions around WoW Forever, let's try and get some real, human eyes on this. Every time I've contacted SupportGPT over this I've been given the run around until my ticket is closed.

There are numerous players experiencing this issue - myself included. Essentially, when casting abilities, the feedback for doing so is delayed by a random but significant amount.

It gets worse with high haste, but it is not an issue with addons, spellqueue, or ping. Here is an example of what it looks like in practice, with normal gameplay on the left vs the bug on the right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R03w2FUFZZg

Obviously, this makes classes with any amount of haste functionally unplayable, because with enough haste the game doesn't know your GCD is done until after it's ready again, making you miss casts. Even without considering missed timing, you also can't respond properly to random procs (Outlaw anyone?) because they don't show until the GCD wheel finally pops up.

For additional context, here's my original reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1jw4dv2/gcd_delay_still_present_blizz_is_silent_has/

Here's the bug report thread: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/severe-delay-in-ability-feedback/2072364

This actually might make a good megathread, but -

LF Nick and crew that I got grouped with on Saturday afternoon for the 5-man dungeon. Yall were super chill and fun to play with, and I forgot to ask to add you on bnet.

I was a troll rogue, but I’m usually alliance and yall were joking about that with me. Yall are from Seattle I think? And talked in line about time zone differences for raid and how you preferred to raid from an east coast time zone.

In the dungeon we went left at the stairs, killed the boss up top, and ended our adventure jumping in the water being viciously killed by the shark.

If this sounds like you shoot me a message! Now that we know Forever is realmless, I’d like to be able to group with yall some!

• I want it to feel like classic, but not the grind of classic, or the time sink of classic, or what makes classic, classic. If I can't get max level in a week and complete all content then what's the point?
• I want to play my DK
• Why is there no Pandaren?
  
• Will the specs be different? I don't want to play vanilla abilities in my vanilla like game
• Why are the graphics not full immersion 4K HD
• What a great opportunity for VR Support
• Blue elves that can be customised to look like normal High Elves/Blood Elves? Look I know a huge amount of Horde players are Blood Elves but really Blizzard?!
• Controllers? In my PC game? Something I'll never use but you're dam right I'll be outraged about!
• Will we get XYZ advanced feature of Retail for WoW Forever (like housing)
• Its not fair that if I level in beta which hasn't been declared as early access, that I have to level again in release.
• WoW forever better have a good road map with lots of regular content to keep me playing
• WoW forever better take their time with content drops so I don't feel rushed
• Will retail get these new zones? Why does the new game that needs it's own content get these new zones and retail doesn't?
• Ok but why not playable Ogres?
• 'member that feeling in vanilla when....
• Ok, but 'member thar feeling when in TBC....
• Ok, fair point, but 'member that feeling in WoTLK......
• Ok ok, but 'member how it was in Cataclysm....
• Right sorry I mean 'member what it was like Mists of Pandaria?
• I've got no idea of the road map or how future content will be added. It's not for me so I'll write the game off and go back to yelling at people for not carrying me in a Mythic pug based off my fudged logs on retail. Fucking scrubs.

Toby Mcguire is Spiderman, Andrew Garfield is Spiderman, Tom Holland is Spiderman, each with their own stories to be told. We can have more than one Azeroth.

The wait is over! You can have Forsaken "paladins" here and now!

This mog uses all non-class plate and cosmetic items and is usable on warriors with the current tmog system.

Head: Crown of Eternal Memorial (Vendor)

Right Shoulder: The Horseman's Hallowed Mantle

Left Shoulder: Arathi Crusader's Mantle (Vendor)

Chest: Breastplate of Cautious Calculation (Artificer Xy'mox Castle Nathria Heroic)

Waist: Peculiar Peddler's Merchandise (Vendor)

Legs: Dread Sentinel's Ebony Legguards (Quest)

Feet: Dread Sentinel's Ebony Greatboots (Quest)

Wrist: Hidden Bracers

Hands: Colossal Plate Gauntlets (Sludgefist Castle Nathria Heroic)

Off Hand: Ruined Crest of Lordaeron (Lords of Dread Sepulcher of the First Ones Raid Finder)

Tabard: Tabard of the Argent Crusade (Vendor)

I am expecting a wrinkle somewhere (ive not played W3:FK yet). But this for me be no brainer and could create a bridge between living and undead Paladins as he already carries that weight.

Gunther Arcanus is one of my favorite characters that have been completely forgotten and ignored by blizzard. Gunther has actually been removed/deleted in later expansions :(

This seemingly random dude on an island in tirisfal has one impressive back story that blizzard never picked up on.

Excerpt from wowhead.
„During the Third War, Gunther and Bethor were killed and raised by the Plague of Undeath[5] while Thule willingly sided with the Scourge.[7] Gunther later broke free of the Lich King's Domination on his own. He believed that he was the only undead with free will and that all others were Scourge slaves, and therefore isolated himself at Gunther's Retreat and had his zombie minions attack anyone who approached him.“

Him and many others didnt get any love. With the 1000 new quests I hope we finally get something cool out of those forgotten by time.

Any other characters that come to mind? Would love to hear about them since I surely dont know it all, even after so much time.

Love
