Comment by JolietJerry Questions about Classic at an event specific to BfA should be flat out ignored. I wonder if these ppl also go into Taco Bell and attempt to order a Big Mac. Comment by mathiaslindberg Trial of Valor was the only good raid this expansion, and it being short definitely contributed to that. No one wants to be stuck on the 10th boss for weeks, and no one wants to spend hours doing a raid because 1\/4th of the raid leaves every 3-4th boss. Comment by Mystic0x Woohoo! Comment by Kheridan In the last five years, Blizzard has shifted their approach to storytelling. Each expansion used to be a distinct story. Now the stories flow together better between expansions. For example, Sargeras' attack at the end of Legion brought fought the Azerite that's so important in Battle for Azeroth.

You mean brought forth right?

If Warfronts get really popular feedback, could we get Warcraft 4!
Anything is popular! But this isn't a decision for the World of Warcraft team.

Anything is possible you mean? Comment by Etseperion "Mag'har Orcs and Dark Iron Dwarf Allied Races will be available after completing the Battle for Azeroth War Campaign. "\r
Is that just to push people to race change instead of creating a new character? seriously why not put them in the pre-patch since they're not really new races? that way it would allow people to level up their new DI\/orc before battle for azeroth actually starts , which would make way more sense to me Comment by Thomas24 Attackers always win Warfronts? I'm not totally sure how I feel about that. I don't hate the idea, but it kind of removes tension, you know? I don't want the only question when entering a Warfront to be "How long is this going to take?" It makes it feel more like a chore than a battle. Comment by AlakeiThancan When are Mag'har Orcs and Dark Iron Dwarves coming?
They will be coming in the 8.0 patch, and available by playing through the War Campaign.

Kul Tiran and Zandalari are coming a bit later on, as they reflect the core story of these factions joining the Alliance or Horde.

Beyond that...there's lots of potential for more Allied Races, more to come, but nothing to talk about now.

Damn it ! It would have made so much sense to release them in april\/May. Everything relating those races are already done, the models, the textures, the mounts, the tabards, the heritage armor ... The only thing missing is the Mag'har racial traits. Would have made sense story wise (getting the help of old allies BEFORE the war effort, not AFTER launching it ..), gameplay wise (releasing them in the middle of the content drought, so people keep subbed\/don't get bored, also giving us time to level our alt before launch so we can actually get to the end game content right at launch) ...

Removed I just wanna have my Mag'har warrior now :(

Attackers always win Warfronts? I'm not totally sure how I feel about that. I don't hate the idea, but it kind of removes tension, you know? I don't want the only question when entering a Warfront to be "How long is this going to take?" It makes it feel more like a chore than a battle.

I think you misunderstood. You're not sure to win a warfront if you go there. But you're certain your faction, at large, will win. Much like a raid. You might not clear the content, but canonically, the "heroes of Azeroth" always win.

You can definitely lose a warfront, but you know on the next reset you'll have control of the region back. Comment by Sp33dey HYPE\r
I LOVE the new details on warfronts by the way! I hope they'll not only bring a world boss but a world quest hub as well :3 Comment by Sp33dey Attackers always win Warfronts?

I think you don't get it right. From what we've seen thanks to MrGM and the alpha exploit (they could play a very early version of warfronts) it'll be hard and you can lose. What Ion meant is that All Warfronts play out as YOU as the ATTACKER vs PvE Defenders. Comment by comi no one wants to spend hours doing a raid because 1\/4th of the raid leaves every 3-4th boss.\r
\r
I believe you're talking about pugs here... It would be better to join a raiding guild, pugs have always been like this. Comment by Ellore Wow. It would have been really great to see all that concept art in an artbook that should have come with the deluxe edition. Comment by honorshammer Kul Tiran and Zandalari are coming a bit later on, as they reflect the core story of these factions joining the Alliance or Horde.\r
\r
As someone who is excited to play a Zandalari Druids, this is disappointing to here. It's almost like the flail for my Prot Paladin. I saw it in Beta and didn't have it in game for a year.

What comi said. If you think that's how it is all the time then you need to stop pugging, leave your guild if you're in one, and join a raiding guild. But if you "don't want to spend hours doing a raid" then maybe raiding current content isn't for you. Comment by Dabraxus Trial of Valor was the only good raid this expansion, and it being short definitely contributed to that. No one wants to be stuck on the 10th boss for weeks, and no one wants to spend hours doing a raid because 1\/4th of the raid leaves every 3-4th boss.

ToV was a quicky raid and pretty boring. I for one like raids with more than 3-4 bosses bcs they provide me with more content\/fun. But I raid in a guild and not in pugs.. Raiding (and M+ to an extend) is the reason why I play WoW. The bigger the raid, the better! Comment by instig but whichever faction is attacking wins. It should shift back and forth. When a resource bar is filled up, one faction can attack the Warfront and take it over.

I am extremely disappointed by this. Essentially, you are hiding world bosses and special content behind a frustrating 7 day time-gate between each faction. This is not the same as Wintergrasp or Tol'Barad - which I was expecting a variation. I was expecting each faction can fight to take the Warfront, by providing resources to increase their army that is attacking\/defending and if their army wins, they unlock raids\/world bosses, etc. . In Warfronts, thats not the case, its a deterministic event that you are guaranteed to win every 7 days if you reach X resources.

I really hope they make it a large scale region-wide PvP battle every 5\/6 days like Wintergrasp, where the resources you obtain in those 7 days contribute to your chance of winning in the battle at the end of the week - but you still have to fight the Horde or Alliance in the castle and you are not guaranteed to win, and you have to destroy it and capture that city, just like in Wintergrasp.

Currently, Warfronts seem like a worse version of the Broken Shore towers - collect resources, return them. Put up tower, wait 7 days. Repeat. Instead, how awesome would it be if each resource you gain increases the number of siege tanks \/ siege vehicles attacking, increases the number elites or specialist units deployed in battle. Likewise for defending, imagine if gaining resources would increase the number of defending towers, improve the arrows to Rocks or Fire arrows, or increase the number of specialist units inside the city, then you and the region-wide Horde will have a region-wide PvP battle to defend the warfront against the region-wide Alliance with the resources and armies both factions have amassed. That would be a much cooler concept than it is currently. They could have made this so much more epic.

\r
Haha yes! Nice one. Comment by mathiaslindberg They should release the Orcs and Dwarves before release and Trolls and Kul Tiran with release. They either won't have them ready by release, or they want people to pay for a race change after leveling.

I actually tried that once. Was pretty funny. Comment by SlyRog Zandalari won't be unlocked till later in the expansion? \r
\r
Oh boy here comes a s**t-storm from excited horde players\r
\r
A wise man once said "Good things come to those that wait.", or maybe it's just an old ass Heinz commercial, either way it's a valid point.
