Warlords of Draenor Beta - Second Round of Information

Ohhhhh Shit... Collector's... D:

Filenames for the new models is the best part of this post.

So Thrall is now a Jedi. Sweet.

Naruthrall.

All the Internets to you

That map is jaaannkkyyyyy... Very cool though, the zone transitions are very smooth from what we see right now.

Oh lawl, Shattrath has its own Dalaran bubble.

Looking forward to seeing a non-exploded Auchindoun, though.

Looks pretty similar to the current one, if you ask me.

Thrall... so badass... :P

Yo Blizz. Stop updating Thrall in like every expansion and give poor Varian Wrynn a facelift. He was a -BEAST- in the comics, but in game? No words.

I think the art team people said they were gonna revisit his, Jaina's and the models of other faction leads once they were done with the player models in order to keep them on par with the rest of the game.

There was a blue post from ages ago, a year ago at least.

I really like the mix of shaman robes and battle armor on Thrall. Now I just need to see Doomhammer.

So is this Alpha actually live? No one is streaming it even though there is no NDA, and no one is really showing screenshots?

Ugh, the ponytail!

They all look awesome, especially Thrall and Grom, but I'm not sure about Durotan. Looks really hunched over, comically so. Maybe it's the wolf hide giving that effect, but it can't help but feel it would make more sense if he shared Thrall's skeleton.

Game data is up but you can't log in. We'll def see an announcement when flagged people can get past "connecting..."

Well I never said I liked this one either. But yes, I suppose it does.


On the new model the beard almost looks like it's infused with his shirt. Is it just the angle we're looking at?

He doesn't have a shirt, and it's not a beard. It's his chest hair, all of it!

What's up with Thrall? Is it an Orcish tradition to wear your shoulderpads on your wrists?

The new model of Velen... Uhhh
