The choice to faction-lock exteriors is going to bite them in the ass pretty hard unfortunately, not just due to obvious things like this but also just the sheer lack of variety beyond orc/human landscapes.
I will go feral when undead exteriors come out and I can't use them in the Duskwood section.

Found the blood elf house exteriors and I sure love that these are faction locked!

Many months later, now that the expansion has concluded, @silriven.bsky.social, @claretash.bsky.social, and I have done a 'little' retrospective on The War Within!
Join us for discussions about pacing, comparisons to Dragonflight, and WoW characters who just do not serve.

As the current expansion starts to wrap up, Porter (@portergauge.bsky.social), Sil (@silriven.bsky.social) and I wanted to record a relaxed chat about our experiences with TWW, our initial thoughts on Midnight, and more - also. Arator's hair. 🤔
ENJOY! ✨

Timewalking is keeping it as accurate as possible to the gamplay of Shadowlands by giving you 4x the amount of stuff to earn... and a currency grind for 3 of them 💀

Prepatch testing isn't quite live with story yet, but the base for it in Twilight Highlands is active, a little joint endeavor between blood elves and void elves (and a little bit of bickering)

The updated Thalassian Pass is gorgeous, it's got animal life and treants all around, and a little memorial wall to all of the fallen handwritten by the survivors

I do feel like the way Blizzard has renamed certain things is causing a bit of confusion about the new Transmog system in Midnight.
Custom Sets (which are currently called Outfits on live lol) can still be saved ENTIRELY for free, those do not have slot costs to use.

Reading through Blood Ties now, gonna note some various interesting tidbits as I go through it.
It will mostly just be interesting world things or character moments, but there will DEFINITELY be book spoilers here, so ye be warned.

The normal and heroic versions aren't testable, but it looks like on Mythic, they've unfortunately entirely removed the Horde version of Pit of Saron with the revamp in Midnight.
Players of both factions now work with Jaina to rescue the Alliance, Sylvanas is entirely gone.

Faction war is BACK ON THE MENU in Voidstorm, seems like they're going the route of people going against the leadership of the Horde and Alliance to fight each other here

The Silver Covenant NPCs here have all been updated with new outfits!
Looks like they're officially using the blue and gold variant of the leveling gear for high elves, which really makes the tabard pop.

These mounts now have lore!
They added a stablehand who explains how the Silver Covenant found them in the ruins of Dalaran, and how the mount journal backstory about them being paintings made manifest is actually canon. I actually really like this.

The first ACTUAL Darkfallen elf in Midnight that I've found!
He's a guest of the traders from Murder Row at Saltheril's Haven, which is fitting. No Dark Rangers yet sadly, but it's a start at least!

It's really funny that alongside his new outfit, they're giving Umbric this super powerful and plot-relevant weapon in the main story of Midnight
...and the weapon matches his old outfit instead of his new one lol

Doing the new Magister's Terrace now, the premise of fighting our *allies* for this void weapon is a really fun idea.
I do wonder how far we'll go in killing them or not in the process lol, but I like that we can have interpersonal squabbles between our allies like this.
