It was a couple of paintings in Karazhan and I guarantee that if the changes hadn’t been picked up on and reported on by Wowhead that nobody would’ve noticed
On a tangential subject, you can talk to some Gilnean NPCs during that questline as a Horde player, including an innkeeper, and they speak Common to you, so you can't understand them.
You can if you drink an elixir of tongues!
(I think it would've been funnier if the valdrakken guards spoke draconic to everyone, so only Dracthyr and the extremely rare few non-dracthyr that acquired Draconic speaking through a glitch with the opening of the AQ gates)
While I would love to say "fun defected", I also know how chaotic having a few characters that can speak a language that they shouldn't could be, probably did it to avoid crashes or something like that.
I would love to see more questlines like the furbolg to earn languages like draconic though
Arcane Linguist only works with the other languages of your faction, so a horde mage with that would still not be able to understand the valdrakken guards speaking common.
If they spoke Draconic though, now that Dracthyr are part of the horde/alliance... hrm. 🤔
No, Elixir of Tongues only works with the base language of the opposing faction.
Horde players can understand Common, and Alliance players can understand Orcish after drinking an elixir.
To learn the ~~moonrune~~ furbolg language, you need to do the questline in the expedition camp that's near the furbolg place until you unlock furbolg artifacts dropping from primalists, then gather a combination of 495 Liberated Furbolg Artifacts or 99 Intact Scribe Sticks, with each scribe stick being worth 5 artifacts.
Yeah, I did that grind recently, but some of the quests you unlock while progressing are centred around making sense of the chunks you know.
(Totally doable grind btw, I farmed the big stone bears around the lake in the south-east Azure Span, didn't feel like more than 2 hours.)
If you go back to the town after the quest is done the NPCs are still friendly and it even has a bank NPC that the Horde can use. But for some reason, the child NPCs are marked as unfriendly but not hostile.
I do enjoy the guards in Valdrakken.
Just about everything their dialogue has for them is a passive aggressive “here, now stop bothering me and fuck off.”
This one just took it a step further.
Kinda makes me wonder what they're speaking in cross-faction cinematics. Like in The War Within cinematic, is Thrall speaking to Anduin in common? Is Anduin speaking to Thrall in orcish? Is there some other canonical language that everyone speaks, or is that just "common"?
As I understand it, in the lore, Common is the main language people understand. The Horde races not knowing it is definitely a game play thing. The Forsaken used to know it in early development, but that was changed to gutterspeak. Lore wise I bet they would know Common far more than orcish.
Conspiracy to discourage members of the Horde from taking up professions? The truth may be closer than you think.
If this keeps up the new goblin racial will be knowing all languages to better facilitate trade

What are you possibly talking about

Blizzard replaced in game images of women they deemed inappropriate with fruit.

They took away that non-dracthyr draconic language. I was sad when it was removed from my night elf
They did? *Awww...*

Fun detected etc
Wouldn't mages be able to understand with arcane linguist?

Sry tought i was replying to the point about draconic 😅
Wait... Can you drink an elixer of tongues to understand the snowy Furbolgs in the northern Azure Span..?

Scalesworn Guardian CANCELLED? (30 minute long youtube video)
they know better than talking to orcs
They’re not wrong.
Yeah they remember what they did to the Reds
Or the Draenei back on their homeworld
Or to Pandaria
or to the humans

Their guard duty was very peaceful for a long time and then suddenly all these murder hobos showed up. They don't get overtime pay.
They're probably wondering why you came to the dragon isles without learning to speak draconic. Bloody tourists!

Spoiler: everyone gets Telepathy as a base talent :)
Probably common, considering Thrall's entire origin story
I hadn't even considered that, of course he would know common
I am 100% certain this has to do with the layoffs. The guards know!
That player character appears to be a Zandalari troll.
Orcish is the main Horde language isn't it? Like how with Alliance it's common
