You heard the princess! lLet 'er rip!

I... do not care if dis G'huun is an old god. I will let noNo. You will cause no more harm come to my people. It is time for you to dieYour madness ends now!

Very goodDat's right, princess! Ya be seein' how hopeless dis whole fight be... G'huun be an old god, and me peoplefight be hopeless... G'huun gonna be free! Once Zandalar lies in ruins, da empire of da Old Gods be seerisin' him freed! You all gonna dieagain!

Three structures built to maintain G'huun containment. Scans indicate Nazmir and Vol'dun structures inoperable. Only one remains withindevices were created to seal the corruption. Scans indicate Nazmir and Vol'dun devices currently inoperable. Last functioning seal: Zuldazar.

G'huun is aAn oOld gGod?! I do not understand, how did such a creature end up so close to my empire?Dis is why de blood trolls assault my capital... if de last seal is destroyed, dat monster will be unleashed upon Azeroth!

Carrier

The key is deep within my fortress, Vorrik. Or did you think that I was foolish enough to carry it on my person?

Take that!

No more talking, old friend. Surrender your key to Mythrax's prison. You would doom us all!

No more treaties with outsiders... no more bargains with de loa. Behold de power of MY god.

I must inform Vorrik of my concerns, but first I need tomust safeguard my key. I have a feeling something bad will happen very soon...

Together with Vorrik and Korthek, we sealed the tomb, with the hopes that no one willould ever wake the giant buried within. We will not be doomed to repeat the mistakes our neighbors made so long ago.

Ha.. ha... user manuals are for schmucks,. Newt, we're doing this live!

Got it, princess. You should be thankful're about to get a front row seat to the latest and greatest of goblin technology!

Princess, I ain't no expert, but I think you guys got a blood troll problem.

Terrible swamp you all got here, w. Would be real nice if somethin' happened to it!

We're gonna blow your oOld gGod up, goblin style!

We're gonna load this thing up, row ourselves into that river, and blow us up some trolls. Who's ready for a good time, eh?

We won't go without a fight, Deadeye.

Take it easy, will ya?

I've never seen it this busy before. Something big ismust be going down.

Oh godno... I think my barrel has pee in it...

Curveball! Curveball!

Data recovered. Corruption in Nazmir originates from oOld gGod contained within its center. Old God dNazmir. Designation is: G'huun.

We'll need ta travel through da swamp. As long as we stay in theda air and out of sight, we shouldn't have too much trouble.

Everyone, break ranks! Make your way to safety! Get as far away from thdese snakes as you can!

There is talk within the temple. Korthek is eager to attack the trolls. They are a formidable race that will not fall easily. We've lived in peace for so long,... why would he now desire to pickstart a fight he cannot win?

...

I am disgraced.

...

Their entire army is behind us.

...

The Kirin-Tor has a legacy of abuse. Kel'thuzad turned his knowledge of the arcane arts toward Necromancy.

Heretic...! You trespass upon sacred ground.

Glory in battle!

Ah, he arrives - da L. De loa of... Hmm... What do we call you now?

Battleship

...

Any bites yet? I have found that patience (and beer) really helps bring in the big catch!

You are right about one thing, though. The time for talking is over!

You'll pay for that.

Impressive, "old friend." But it will not be enough to stop me!

Come, Mythrax. Come, Unraveller. ThDe final seal must be broken.

Hah ha ha... You thought you could defeat me? NOTHING can kill me now, puny mortal!

Now. Shatter the final seal. Slay any who would stop you.

Out of the way! Bringin' in the big guns!

I'll go first and clear the way, meet me on the other side.

Fools! G'huun not gonna fail! Ya power be useless!

Life is full of surprises.

We will return with help.

Oh no!

Lok'tar ogar!

Oh no you don't!

I hope you have learned something today.

I'm gonna pilot this thing, y. You just tell me where to shoot, and I'll shoot. Let's show these things a good time!

pre launch event maybe?

Comment by rodalpho

Pre-launch at the latest-- they could even add it to a patch 7.3.6 in a couple months to keep people playing in the long wait with no new content.

Comment by Vindal

Which makes sense Imo.
News about class changes in this build also? (Sorry a bit off-topic)

Edit: Also... MOTHER seems to be a great boss name.

It's coming soon, there are some tool changes. We're able to pull the achievement names/descriptions easily though.

That'd be nice. Neither race has anything to do with Kul Tiras and Zandalar, so it'd make sense to recruit them before heading out.

Comment by TobiasAmaranth

No question in my mind that the Mag'har and Dark Iron Dwarves will be appearing as allied races before you access KT/Zand. In fact, I think they'll be integral to the actual pre-launch story. Like how with Legion, we spent time with Khadgar and Dalaran, in this case we're going to be meeting the DID/M'h, and then once we're done with that pre-launch story, we will have the opportunity to run the Ally scenario. Basically making them easy to acquire.

BOOP! -- Do not boop on my nose..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ5JLqgucOI

Comment by AlakeiThancan

I'm predicting these allied races to be released around the end of may. The only thing they haven't done for these two races are : tabards, the ram mount (but since they've added its title, I'm betting the model is ready to be shipped in the next patch), and the Mag'har racials. Adding them in two months and a half seems reasonable, it would be 6 months after Antorus release, and about 3 months before BFA, giving us time to level these alts and be ready to play BFA content, along with keeping our monthly subscriptions until then.

My prediction is this : may/june Mag'har orcs and Dark Iron Dwarves, 8.0 (once the war campaign is completed), Kul'tiran and Zandalari, 8.1 Vulpera (and the opposite faction's race, maybe Sethrakk). In 8.2 probably another old content race, I'm thinking Broken/undead elf.

Comment by Ditju

If the Dark Iron core hound is the racial mount for the dark iron dwarves then it is basically confirmed that both rams that were datamined earlier are the paladin mounts for both dark iron AND normal dwarves.

A core Hound as Racial Mount? thats hot.

And yeah, the two rams are the normal and dark iron paladin mounts then, nice! Paladins confirmed!

Doubtful AF. Anyone saying otherwise is just being stupid with their wishful thinking. Last official word from Blizzard was that Dark Iron and Zandalari would not be unlocked until 120, and that a quest chain in bfa would be involved. Random speculation due to an achievement popping up in an ALPHA build is hardly reason to celebrate.

Do you not listen to anything Blizzard actually says? Read my earlier statement, not happening before bfa. Ram mount? Yeah, now I know you can't read for crap. There is an achievement/line in this news post that says they are getting a corehound mount. And Vulpera, while likely at some point, are not coming. Or did you completely ignore the last Q/A session? Dark Iron, Zandalari, Kul Tiran, & Mag Har...no other allied races are planned during the bfa cycle at this time. Just stop with the nonsense.

*sigh* ... Do you really need to come to insults because I SPECULATED something that you don't believe to be true? Did I hurt your feelings with my predictions which I specifically described as speculation ?

I do listen to what Blizzard says. They've never said we couldn't unlock Dark Iron dwarves before lvl 120. All they've ever said, and they were only talking about Zandalari, was that "they wouldn't be unlocked right at the launch of the expansion". It could mean 8.1, it could mean 8.2, it could mean at launch but time gated behind the war campaign (like how the second row or artifact appearances were locked behind the order hall campaign). They've also never confirmed that Dark Iron dwarves were coming at the same time as Zandalari, so this doesn't apply to them.

The corehound mount? Yep, you're right. I missed that. I didn't read the whole post through. I apologize to you, grand Master, for the mistake I made. Whip me if you please. *sigh*

Dark Iron, Zandalari, Kul Tiran, & Mag Har...no other allied races are planned during the bfa cycle at this time. Just stop with the nonsense.

And before you say I can't "read for crap", please don't make your own speculation as truth. They never said none were planned for BFA, they only said they weren't ready to announce any at the current time. Which could sure mean that they're not going to make any new races .... or that they just don't want to spoil it before the announcement of 8.1.

PS :

Random speculation due to an achievement popping up in an ALPHA build is hardly reason to celebrate.

That's exactly how we found out about the Nightborne, the LF draenei, the Void elves and the Highmountain Tauren, just about two month and a half before they were released. It's not definitve proof, sure, but you can't claim it's "Stupid wishful thinking" when it's literally what happened less than 6 months ago.

The rams could be both paladin mounts seeing as palas have apprentice and journeyman ones.

Comment by Chaxton

We're a few days off from April Fool's Day. What's up with that half Core Hound? Did they show us that too early? That's just as much a joke model as the female Draenei "Rework" was that they showed us last year. Glad to see Dark Irons MAY come out sooner than later, but I'm definitely not riding that Core Half if that's real. Paladin or bust anyway.

Comment by greenegg

that second ram mount basically confirms dark iron pallys right?

Comment by Monsoont

With the new Ram mount for dwarven Paladins... I kind wish they would update the Draenei's mount too, both LF and Exodar Draenei Paladin still use the old Elekk Model (instead of the new one that came out since WoD or the LF Draenei mount). Heck, LF Draenei doesn't even have their own paladin mount!

Speaking of which, most of Paladin racial class mounts still use old models...

Comment by MaximusPM

Kinda disappointed by that corehound. Was expecting a mole-machine-hot-rod xD
