We also do intend to add additional Warfronts over time, so that these cycles will be interwoven in a way that hopefully makes it feel like there's more to do, more often.

Comment by carmanutI said Bow String, not a G String!Comment by Iceman3317That definitely isn't the Alliance armor.They just announced heritage armor, so I'd assume that will be the Night Elf Heritage armor. They said we are starting with Dwarf and Blood Elf, so that most likely means all races will get heritage armor.

However, the armor will probably be Night Elf themed for Alliance.Comment by 1809537This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by WindreaverIF, and this is a strong IF, the warfront is the re-capture of Darkshore. That could be interesting. But there is a reason the BFA pre-patch sucked.Comment by lordmrfI hope they Use Forsaken/Night elf buildings in the Warfront am sick from the Orc/Human buildings every goddamn where.Comment by NoxBassthey slowly rework all the vanillia zone witch is great , i love how arathi look smooth nowComment by Lorelai1548I have to say I find it odd that it’s OG Horde forces in Arathi and Forsaken in Darkshore. I understand why for Darkshore, but I still think given the location of both their major strongholds (Forsaken still have Silverpine and Hillsbrad) it should have been OG Horde in Darkshore and Forsaken in Arathi. Even if it’s just aesthetically for bases.Comment by GalenTheGreyPersonally, I'd prefer to see Kasparian's armor from Tomb of Sargeras as the Nelf Heritage set.Comment by 1809537This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by QuixoteUglySo, the image of that Forsaken armor... they have elbows and knees. Pretty please, Blizz?Comment by tupolew519REVENGE FOR TELDRASSIL!Comment by EzmaraldaI <3 <3 <3 that skimpy armor!Comment by 1809537This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by NathasilIf this warfront tells as much story as the Arathi one....this will add absolutely nothing to the current situation but a chance to replay the "great" prepatch daylies in a slightly different format.

What players want is a continuation of the STORY. Warfronts will not deliver on that.

I am not totally bashing the intent...as doing anything with the zone is still better than leaving it to rot for the next 2 years.....but i am not statisfied either. Let's see what the "continuation of Tyrande's story" has to offer. Not getting my hopes up, though.Comment by Blayaden01While I'm glad they're progressing the story, I'm not particularly happy that its a Warfront.

At least its something I guess.Comment by GrazrugI have to say I find it odd that it’s OG Horde forces in Arathi and Forsaken in Darkshore.

What I have seen as a NE player in BFA till now is just ... well beyond bad in both storytelling and actual story.
Considering how flawed Tyrande has been portrained since cata and that she didn't even get a good view ingame even though the novel tried, I am not confident this patch will be by any means a salvation for NE players.

In fact I totally expect teh warfront being very horde driven showing NEs even more stupid than before.

However on a positive note. Now that we have heritage armors confirmed for old races, I can totally see getting the archer armor for NEs. Though, I can't understand why they start with dwarves when the patch is actually focussing the NE storyline. Would have been teh golden opportunity to compensate NE players for their loss in the prepatch with this warfront and a matching armor set to give them new hope, rallying their forces, finding their identity to take revenge.

Again a missed opportunity in my opinion. But we will see, the PTR should be out soon.

However Blizz has lost all my faith in them completely, I expect nothing and prepare myself to be let down non the less.Comment by 1809537This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by Blayaden01Will you ever shut up and stop your tears? The Nightelfs are getting something with Darkshore at least. That's more than other ignored and sidelined Alliance races got the past years.Comment by TruweilDon't want to sound picky, but there's a lot more breast exposure in the cinematic :P . I do like me some skimpy armor, so, I hope this would be the Night Elf heritage armor, I think the dwarf armor is cool, but why not do both elf races 1st? This armor seems ready to go as it was on the Lordearon NPCs.
