I think we can safely conclude that instead of adding any more new classes to the game, they should just add new specs.
I renewed and preordered, thinking that I’d play a Lightforged In the expansion.
Er, the Lightforged (and other new races) unlock for everyone, without the rep grind, come the actual release of the expansion, right? Blizzard isn’t seriously locking a major selling point for expansion behind a massive rep grind from end game content of the previous expansion, right? Right?
@Shadowhope for what it's worth, and someone who has done it recently may correct me on this, but I believe that most of the allied race rep grinds are not too awful, and the Lightforged & Void Elf ones in particular are actually some pretty cool questlines anyway, which you might enjoy doing regardless. I don't think you could knock it out before the launch, but you could probably do most of the way.
If you only have one 110 character and want it as soon as possible, the Argus reps are about 2-3 weeks of doing every world quest every day and the invasion quests every week, assuming you unlock all the world quests as soon as possible. It varies based on how many rep token WQs and class hall missions you get.
You can do it lazily in about 2 months if you only do the rep token WQs/missions, the weeklies, and the daily chests as they come up.
If you have multiple 110 characters then you can feed the bind on account rep tokens from multiple characters to a single character and really speed it up. I had 7 110s so that one 500 rep WQ became a 3850 rep WQ on a human.

I still haven't decided which class to main in BFA...
Also haven't decided what to boost, either.
I'm saving my boost for replacing my Shaman with either a Dark Iron Dwarf or Kul'Tiran.
However I'm also still trying to figure out what class to main. Want to main a Elemental/Resto Shaman but can't bring myself to do it. Elemental is literally so bad that even my forgiveness of poor DPS can't make up the difference, and Resto is just so unchanged from the Cata/Wrath days and I've played it too much that it's grown very stale. Kind of worked myself down to Priest or Monk. Love Brewmaster and Mistweaver better, but hate Windwalker, whereas I enjoy Shadow and Disc but not as much as I do Brewmaster/Mistweaver, but Windwalker is just such a huge drag on the Monk decision.
What. I love Windwalker! Thinking I'm going WW first for BFA, then will see what Ret looks like at 120.
Mistweaver, at least the fistweaving raid healing version, is sooo hard and I'm not sure the payoff is worth it at all. The tankysitting one is nice, but trying to arrange 2x Renewing Mists, then Essence Font, then Thunder Focus Tea before Rising Sun Kick, plus having 3x Teachings of the Monastery from Tiger Palm so Blackout Kick will refresh Rising Sun Kick but only after RSKing again with the 2 second cooldown from Thunder Focus Tea, and I'm just like... I could just be hitting Prayer of Healing.
Yeah, I think I'm going to be using my mistweaver as primarily a m+ dungeon girl unless raid healing mw gets fixed. I don't think 'tankysitting' is really a viable raid build because there hasn't been a true delineation between raid healing and tank healing in a while now. Unless things have changed, most healing is raid healing, and tank healing is supplementary, backed up with some extra tools.

I've mostly caught up on the plotlines. I'm just looking at a few weeks of daily quests. I get that as soon as I get past L110, the quests get super quick. It's that I came back to the game and intended to level as one of the new classes, and for some reason that content is locked behind the previous expansion. It's as if you needed Shattered Sun rep to create a Death Knight.

My respect for Tyrande has plummeted. And Greymane's wife (I'm sorry, I forget her name)and the Priestess's have all that respect.
At the very least I'd expect the High Priestess of Elune to at least aid in the evacuation of her home...but noooooope, she wuvs her poor Malfurion.
Malfurion actually comes across as decent. And the quest to save people in the tree being impossible kinda hammers home the horror of it all.
Also as an aside, if you get the Horde mount, you get the alliance mount too, so no need worrying about missing out on the opposing faction mount, if you play solely one faction. (I don't know if it's a time limited item)

Seriously, Tyrande is the worst. She was fine back in WC3 when she had just as little personality as everyone else, but everything since has shown her to be racist, cowardly, and just plain a bad ruler for the faction. She isn't even particularly pious or effective at being a priestess.
I think it's fine if those are defining character traits that lead to conflict with other people, but as far as I'm aware she rarely gets called out on it.
Thing I just noticed in the BfA trailer; Saurfang has a very clear chance to cleave King Anduin. Instead he just knocks him over and leaves him.
*equips tinfoil hat*
Can't imagine Saurfang is super eager to kill the boy who lost his father and who seems to be one of the only ones who could stop the madness and endless war.
No wait, I thought the allied races can be accessed right now via rep grind, but at expansion launch, anyone can make them.
I bitched about this a few pages ago... I think it's absolutely moronic if they don't make the new races accessible to everyone with the launch of BfA (especially with the way they are using the new races as a selling point of the new expansion!), but the response I got from here, seemed to suggest I was being unreasonable.
Either way, I'm just playing it safe and grinding these stupid reps out just in case.
It sucks that it's not, but I can understand why they didn't. If the entire goal of the early release allied races was to spark resubs, having the decision be 'well you can get these early if you grind the reps, or you can just wait and get them for free' wouldn't have served their goals.

Yeah, but I honestly can't see a future where the first update after BfA goes live doesn't either change the unlock conditions or quadruple the amount of rep you get for the quests and dailies leading up to them.
Oh I've absolutely found my share of things that are very broken. In the Barrens, the cliffs west of Ratchet, there are mountain lions that have cubs with them that are clearly supposed to be on the same level of "hunter" type enemies that have a wolf with them.

If you only have one 110 character and want it as soon as possible, the Argus reps are about 2-3 weeks of doing every world quest every day and the invasion quests every week, assuming you unlock all the world quests as soon as possible. It varies based on how many rep token WQs and class hall missions you get.
You can do it lazily in about 2 months if you only do the rep token WQs/missions, the weeklies, and the daily chests as they come up.
If you have multiple 110 characters then you can feed the bind on account rep tokens from multiple characters to a single character and really speed it up. I had 7 110s so that one 500 rep WQ became a 4950 rep WQ on a human.
the BOA tokens don't help because they only become BOA after you're exalted on that character, and if you're exalted on any character you already have the allied race quest unlocked.

I'm looking at an argussian reach token mission on one of my alts right now who doesn't have exalted argussian reach, and the token is bind on pickup
Why did they abandon the rep system of MoP? Being able to buy those account things that put the little golden wing-ding on the side of your reps, which allows alts to build that rep faster was one of the best things they did.
If anything, they needed to make it work better and faster for alts, because I hate rep grinding and the fast it goes the better. And once you've done it once on your main, it should be exponentially faster on alts in my opinion.

My characters on Dark Iron finally serve a purpose for the first time in years. I'm consolidating all my gold onto my old main on there, and then Heirlooms will be purchased. RIP that fecking server.
Wow, I finally finished all of Brans Legion archeology quests. The payout was rather lacklustre.
The relic he’s trying to build is still missing a piece, and he kinda gives up. But hey, he gives you ten of each keystone..... which I don’t really have a use for, since I did all the archly quests already.
I renewed and preordered, thinking that I’d play a Lightforged In the expansion.
Er, the Lightforged (and other new races) unlock for everyone, without the rep grind, come the actual release of the expansion, right? Blizzard isn’t seriously locking a major selling point for expansion behind a massive rep grind from end game content of the previous expansion, right? Right?
-Shadowhope for what it's worth, and someone who has done it recently may correct me on this, but I believe that most of the allied race rep grinds are not too awful, and the Lightforged & Void Elf ones in particular are actually some pretty cool questlines anyway, which you might enjoy doing regardless. I don't think you could knock it out before the launch, but you could probably do most of the way.
I can definitely say that the Nightborne rep thing wasn't nearly as bad as it looked on paper. The numbers to get to exalted were daunting. But I had only played the suramar quests to just up to having most of the teleporters in Shal'Aran. Was at the beginning of honored. Playing all the way to the end of the Suramar line and doing world quests for 3 days got me exalted AND the achievement needed to unlock them. It was 3 nights of solid play, but that quest line goes a LONG way to getting you exalted by itself.
Now I have my sweet boosted nightborne warlock, who will wear the skimpiest robes I can find cause those iridescent tattoos are just too rad. I only wish you still got the heirloom transmogs for a boosted character.
Man this whole past week or two I've been on this lonely island where I still like Malfurion AND Tyrande ...
I will admit maybe I'm just biased to night elves and the story in WC3 but I really don't think that's the sum of it.
So people beef with Malfurion; Full stop I do not get. He's never done anything super irritating? And the one thing EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER mocks him for "TYRANDE MY LOVE" ... wasn't even him? Like it's now just this friggen echo chamber that everyone does and finds funny to keep it alive without calling out "oh and yeah, that was Xavius basically full on mocking Malf so maybe we shouldn't mock HIM for that?"
Otherwise Malfurion has just an all around good guy trying to save his people, ALL people really with trying to keep the Nightmare out of the Emerald Dream and our world. So like ... yeah, I guess he sucks for being so nice? I really want him to get a FULL ON front row seat in the narration. Not the side seat he got in Legion but something with HIM in it showing off what HE can do. Maybe people will calm down or maybe they'll double down, I don't know, but Malfurion is 100% my favorite lore character in the game. Followed up by Genn and Illidan in even second (Jaina's climbing too).
Now looking at Tyrande in the situation she was in. I think people are giving her WAAAAAAAY more shit than is deserved. So here's her husband, literally bleeding out and probably dying in front of her. Her home is under attack and Saurfang isn't lying; you go home to the city we're about to claim, and you and you're husband are dead. Both Saurfang and Tyrande believe that the city can't hold the attack but that the horde mostly just plans to occupy it. Malfurion might be down for the count for some time and other night elf forces exist in the world that Tyrande can still try and rally to reclaim her home. So she makes a tough call to save her husband and regroup to work with the Alliance to reclaim her city instead of being used as a toy for Sylvanas to crush her people.
Now of course we find out that in hindsight, if she had gone to the city, she could have helped evacuate and tend to her people before leaving as well but she didn't know THAT'S what was going to happen. She was operating under the belief that Sylvanas and the horde would kill her for display and demoralize her people. Given that Lady Mia Greymane was already helping to somewhat evacuate people, there was probably a plan already in place to try and do that kind of thing even without Tyrande there.
So no, I don't think Tyrande made the bad move here. I think she made the right one.

So people beef with Malfurion; Full stop I do not get. He's never done anything super irritating? And the one thing EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER mocks him for "TYRANDE MY LOVE" ... wasn't even him? Like it's now just this friggen echo chamber that everyone does and finds funny to keep it alive without calling out "oh and yeah, that was Xavius basically full on mocking Malf so maybe we shouldn't mock HIM for that?"
Otherwise Malfurion has just an all around good guy trying to save his people, ALL people really with trying to keep the Nightmare out of the Emerald Dream and our world. So like ... yeah, I guess he sucks for being so nice? I really want him to get a FULL ON front row seat in the narration. Not the side seat he got in Legion but something with HIM in it showing off what HE can do. Maybe people will calm down or maybe they'll double down, I don't know, but Malfurion is 100% my favorite lore character in the game. Followed up by Genn and Illidan in even second (Jaina's climbing too).
Now looking at Tyrande in the situation she was in. I think people are giving her WAAAAAAAY more shit than is deserved. So here's her husband, literally bleeding out and probably dying in front of her. Her home is under attack and Saurfang isn't lying; you go home to the city we're about to claim, and you and you're husband are dead. Both Saurfang and Tyrande believe that the city can't hold the attack but that the horde mostly just plans to occupy it. Malfurion might be down for the count for some time and other night elf forces exist in the world that Tyrande can still try and rally to reclaim her home. So she makes a tough call to save her husband and regroup to work with the Alliance to reclaim her city instead of being used as a toy for Sylvanas to crush her people.
Now of course we find out that in hindsight, if she had gone to the city, she could have helped evacuate and tend to her people before leaving as well but she didn't know THAT'S what was going to happen. She was operating under the belief that Sylvanas and the horde would kill her for display and demoralize her people. Given that Lady Mia Greymane was already helping to somewhat evacuate people, there was probably a plan already in place to try and do that kind of thing even without Tyrande there.
So no, I don't think Tyrande made the bad move here. I think she made the right one.
Damn. Was it the necklace from the BC launch event? That's the only thing I can think of.
