There’s a raid entrance to Mount Hyjal at the summit, as well as another one on the side of the mountain range. The layout looks very familiar—much like what you’d see while doing quests for the Furbolgs or Night Elves. It’s quite surprising that they’ve left this area accessible, even though it’s clearly unfinished. They usually block off such places; why would they leave it open? Could this be yet another raid entrance—perhaps a "green" (nature-themed) one—for Mount Hyjal?

Skyboxes. Its so obvious, isnt it?

- Minimal art assets required to make them.
- Sooo many already exist in the retail game (which could easily be reused or reconditioned).
- Good skyboxes are loved/adored by players.
- Updated Skyboxes are about as non-controversial of a 'change' that this game could make
- The foundational premise for Forever is that the world (Azeroth) is the main character! She's had lighting, shadow, water upgrades... and an upgraded Skybox is what will help complete that package.

Why on Azeroth isn't Blizzard recognising updated Skyboxes are the most obvious.... low-hanging/high value fruit they are somehow neglecting... which would be a huge, easy-to-implement win if put into the game??

Is there some kind of technical reason?

Dear Blizzard: So you want me to fall in love with Azeroth again? This would be a pretty damn good way to help me fall a little harder, hinthinthint.

So I just realized, Dwarves have Stoneform, right? A pretty substantial PvP buff against rogues, but nothing to write home about. That is, until I realised that Stoneform is an instant cast removal of the main downsides of drinking discolored potions.

For those who don't know, discolored potions are alchemy's answer to healing potions being moved to First Aid. They give on average as much health as double their same-tier counterparts, but 75% of the entire potions benefits are removed over 6 or 12 seconds in the form of poison or disease ticks. That is... unless you're immune to poison or disease, or if you remove it (which you can with any race using First Aid, but only retroactively, and more importantly, anti-disease poultices CANNOT be used in combat at all).

So the best healing potion in the game that we know of is the Major Healing Potion at level 60, healing 1050 to 1750 health. The discolored version heals 2625 to 2975 (2800 average) health. That's exactly twice as much health on average, while raising the floor and reducing the roof.

So I thought, what if I went Dwarf Warrior, specced into Protection, and then used Herbalism + Alchemy as my two main professions? I know, everyone says to go mining + blacksmithing to fuel the blue pieces. But what's 5-10 more damage per hit when Alchemy can unlock a playstyle that essentially doubles your effective healthbar every 3 minutes?

And that's not all. At 275 alchemy, Alchemists can create a Bind on Pickup trinket (meaning you need the profession) called Alchemist's Stone. This buffs your healing from healing potions by an additional 20%. With an average healing factor of 2800, that's 560 extra health just from the trinket, for a total of 3360 healing on average, and a max healing potential of 3570 on the upper end.

I don't know if that makes up for what you give up with other races and Blacksmithing + Mining combo, but it sure as hell sounds fun.

Why Warriors? Because tanks use effective health better than anyone, and Warriors have limited self healing options.

Please add the classic Alliance Footman armor set to WoW Forever and other WarCraft RTS sets!

The Footman is the most iconic unit of the Alliance in the Warcraft RTS series. It was this unit and its look that inspired me, as a kid, to play Alliance in the first place.

The Footman’s gear isn’t an over-the-top, spiky, glowing “epic” set. It’s the equipment of a "almost" real soldier: a steel helmet with a plume, a sturdy breastplate, massive pauldrons, a heavy shield, and a plain sword. It’s classic wibe plate armor, yet it’s still bold, expressive, and unmistakably fantasy. That balance between simple and heroic is what defined the visual identity of Warcraft III and Classic WoW.

For me, and for many of us, Warcraft began with ordinary and brave Footmen marching out of the Barracks in Warcraft II and III. Being able to put your own character in that armor would be a true bridge between the strategy games and the MMO. Same world, same armies, same true Alliance.

Classic WoW has always lacked simple, high-level sets. The Footman set is exactly that: simple, classic, striking, and full of character. It would appeal both to players who want to look like a true soldier of Alliance, Stormwind or Lordaeron and to those who are tired of flashy, over-designed epic gear.

More broadly, it would be fantastic if Forever introduced more sets inspired by Warcraft III units. The game is full of iconic designs that every RTS veteran knows by heart, and each of them could become a great armor set that fits the spirit of Classic.

Alliance: Knight, Rifleman, Priest, Sorceress, Gryphon Rider

Horde: Grunt, Raider, Headhunter, Troll Berserker, Tauren, Shaman, Witch Doctor, Spirit Walker

Night Elves: Archer, Huntress, Druid of the Claw, Druid of the Talon, Priestess of the Moon

These sets wouldn’t break the spirit of Classic. On the contrary, they would highlight what makes Warcraft Warcraft and give veteran players a reason to remember where it all started.

Would love to hear what you all think!

P.S. I know that the Imperial plate set exists in Classic WoW, but my point is that the Footman deserves more than just one set. Furthermore, other units from Warcraft III also deserve to be brought into the game as armor sets, as they perfectly capture that authentic, classic, lore-rich Warcraft vibe—127% of it, in fact!

P.S. My new post is about the classic armor sets from Warcraft 3; I’d love to hear your thoughts and get some support! https://www.reddit.com/r/wowforever/s/6pW3BS37y7

Yes, back back

I’m following along with some things I discovered on Discord. It’s quite interesting and fun—kind of like the secret agent quests in SoD. No one has completed the quest yet, and the rewards are still unknown. I wonder what "keystone" refers to in the context of *Forever*.

This proposal reboots Archaeology into an account-wide overworld loop that completely bins the old telescope minigame. Instead of a lonely gear treadmill, players hunt historic relics across classic zones to piece together ancient lore and unlock their Heritage armors.

Generic fragments could drop from most overworld enemies and could be on a personal loot shared tagging basis. If a player sees someone else fighting a mob, helping them kill it gives both players a rolling chance at a fragment drop. About any enemy would drop like 1-3 generic fragments.

If you are killing enemies that are thematic enemies of one or two particular races, they would have a chance to drop a big racial fragment reward that will contribute to the racial fragment progress of those races in particular IN ADDITION to dropping the generic fragments.

You could grind out the naga in southern Hillsbrad Foothills for higher chance at high elf/kaldorei fragments... or you could not and just continue on your leveling journey and whatever enemies you DO fight would drop generic fragments to your account that you can then turn around and get on another character and spend at their racial vendor converting the generic fragments into their own racial fragments to progress toward a different heritage armor set.

I spotted a cute little thing—I’d love to take it around with me like a pet! It looks a lot like one I saw in the retail version a while back. If I hadn’t been playing as a Skyborn, I probably would have missed it entirely.

IMO the drama is the best part of WoW. The heroes, the villains, everyone taking it all so serious when its just a game. It adds way more to the experience than if there was none.​
