Are the UI changes compiled anywhere? I don't remember seeing them.

I don't even care about the lore, just giving fury warriors 2 1handers is just a slap in the face.
They're the ONLY spec in the game that dual wields 2 handers, and it's been their spec icon/identity since Wrath but they give them 1 handers. Just like combat and frost.
How can they even?

Is there an archived twitch of demon hunter gameplay?
There's a panel later today on gameplay system which includes professions and classes but it's only an hour long. I'm not expecting an information blowout really, the expansion is so far away at this point I'm not sure they have a concrete vision for every class.

As someone who has been playing Fury since Vanilla WoW I've always found Titan's Grip to be a hindrance to Fury finding its identity. I would rather the spec distanced itself from Arms as much as possible.
Yep, one from Swifty and one from another streamer.
That new news post on mmo-c had an interview thing with cool new stuff in it. Like I guess some of the class halls will have random events to give it some atmosphere like rogues being able pick pocket from each other inside their hall and warriors have an arena thing they can participate in.
Sounds cool, I always like small touches like that.

Thanks.
Genuinely not sure what to use the boost on, as I know I'll buy Legion at some point anyway. I've 11 Horde toons at 100 (each class), one Alliance toon, all on PvP servers... Maybe an RP server? Anyone play on Defias Brotherhood?

I honestly don't know what I'd do with a 100 boost right now. Probably just bank it in case I had to reroll/transfer. I have every class at 90+ apart from paladin.
I don't do waiting well.
Warriors lose whirlwind. "We figured the concept of a rage dump might be too challenging for some people, so now Warrior gameplay consists of keeping rend on a target, and hitting CS/MS when they're off CD."
I may have made that up.
Be warned about the boost.
Some people (including me) are experiencing npcs in the garrison not handing out quests.
I can for instance not get the Harrison daily, or the start quest for the Lumber mill lvl 1.
The npcs don't give out quests...
Other people are reporting the weekend quests, or assault quests not showing up.
It is probably a glitch in the system that will iron itself out in the next few days.
Edit: Is there an faq for what you get when you boost? I find it strange that they don't make it more public that you actually get a lvl 3 Garrison. The gold value of what you are given for free is easily more than a token cost in the US and half a token in EU.
I have boosed two accounts and this is what the character will have:
Lvl 3 Garrison with
-Lvl 1 lumber mill (might actually be lvl 2).
-Lvl 1 Barracks
-Lvl 2 professions huts
-Lvl 1 inn/tavern
-Lvl 1 War Mill/Bunker
1 small, 1 medium, 1 large plot open
-Mine and herb garden lvl 1 unlocked, no need to do the first quest.
8 followers lvl 90-92 or thereabouts. Not sure if these are unique, since I am not familiar with horde followers from before.
All riding/flying except the fastest flying. Cold weather flying and Wisdom of the four winds for Pandaria/Northrend.
4x22 slot bags
Some gold
A few hundred garrison resources
Professions and first aid boosted to lvl 700 if you where lvl 60 or over before the boost and had at least 1 skill in the profession.
Salvage yard blueprint unlocked, no need to do the spires of arak questline. (Maybe its a flagged per account thing? if you already done it on another char I mean).

The entire DH starting area (or at least the entire part that was available at Blizzcon, which sounds like it was only the first half).
So that's how they fixed that mass Stonecore farming
For awhile there was a flood of lv90 druids entering and exiting Stonecore. They'd use boosted characters to bot stonecore and vendor everything for gold and repeat
Thanks for the full write up.
They look so absurdly mobile... it's going to be DKs all over again if they don't scale that back. Not that DKs were mobile, just OP
Oh sweet, thanks!

Fuck...this artifact stuff just makes it sound like alts are gonna be a pain in the ass...again.
I'm only playing my Demon Hunter so I don't care!
Or... A joy? I'm looking forward to doing different things on each alt via unique quests and artifacts! Better than redoing the exact same shit and quests on each alt.

"Always a step away" from your class hall and Dalaran. And it seems like most, maybe just some classes, have a unique form of fast travel. Hunters have giant eagles and unique flight paths, Druids can move through the Emerald Dream to natural places.
Are they changing the default plates? It looks like something from ElvUI or tidyplates.
Really hope not. Those "new" ones look bad...

Not the variety of it, the fact that it takes months to fully unlock the artifact weapons, which will clearly end up being a soft requirement for raiding. That can go stuff itself.

Not gonna lie, Demon Hunter mobility outside of combat looks ridiculously appealing. Playing Wildstar made me realize how much fun having a double jump in an MMO can be.
Gotcha. I mean, I dunno what to say. I feel like that's a problem Blizzard has to work with the raiding community to fix. The hard min/maxing etc. As a casual these days it's just great to hear about more to do. Lol

If I'm not huge into raiding, logging in and having more than just dailies to grind or mounts to farm sounds pretty appealing.

One rune, WAT?

The changes to Fury sound interesting. I might actually try and play my warrior again.
Yeah that is pretty much where I stand. Tired of raiding being the central focus of everything when it comes to their game design and having to accommodate around that. The fact that 3 months into the expansion I can level a new alt and have a whole fresh artifact weapon to start leveling sounds appealing, not annoying.
Fuck yeah they're going to change it all and for a good reason this sounds more fun.
I bet there will be some mechanism in place to help speed up Artifact Power acquisition for alts.

Disc and Shadow specs sound interesting. Disc is all about heals through damage and Shadow sounds really neat. Insanity resource instead of mana and shadow orbs. They start to grow tentacles, gain a void form. Fucking rad!

I might have to roll a priest once Legion drops. Shadow sound fuckballs amazing.
Supposedly class-specific blogs going over the changes are launching tomorrow.
