Dark Ranger (xpost from r/wow) April fools joke? Looks awfully legit!!!

[Jaymison]

MOD EDIT: Lovely FAN MADE April Fools joke, not Blizzard sanctioned.

Shadows of Sargeras the new xpac with new dark ranger class! Looks awesome I hope it's not a joke!

It is a joke. Sadly.

[Schattenlied]

It's april fools day... yeah, no.

[Monteverdi]

Shadows of Sargeras is a cool name for an expansion. But yeah don't believe anything you read today.

[Darkhallows]

Why must this be a joke? It's such a good idea. (Also, Shadows of Sargeras is an amazing name for an xpac.)

[sir-connor]

Shame it's an april fools

It's unusual since blizzard's april fools are normally deliberately OTT and funny, whereas this is something I'd actually love to see. Shadows of Sargeras is a good expansion name too.




Edit; Just a thought though, would be a clever move by blizzard to pretend to accidentally reveal some of the next expansion on april fools day, when everyone will just shrug it off as a joke, then reveal months later that it wasn't actually a joke.

[Combatbutler]

Definately a joke

[Jamber]

Really? Orc and not Troll? I are sad.

[MaccaBird]

If it was real, then they would probably have made new icons for the class abilities/specs

[Millie]

Why are there still people in the western hemisphere that believe anything they read on this day?

[Bearshield]

Looks kinda cool but yeah, anything Blizz posts today is April Fool's.

[Notos]

That's a pretty cruel April Fool's...making it sound awesome while knowing it's not real >_<

[Shroud]

Still waiting on that Bard Class except without the stupid ass guitar hero part.Imagine all those tasty licks across Azeroth....sigh

[Jaymison]

It really is too bad but I applaud the effort that went into creating this class profile! Really good work!

Well it's not up on the official site anymore apparently it was taken down right away. Icons could be placeholders? Wishful thinking goes a long way lol

[Farnswurth]

I couldn't find this at all, so :/


EDIT: If the page was removed right after it went up, it could've also been a slip-up and not meant to be put up, adding to the idea that it COULD be legit.

not saying it is, but yeah.

The close up face image on that "page" is fanart done by Chenbo.

Looks really nice, but I'd say it's an April Fool's with 99.999% certainty. Aside from it being April 1st, it makes no sense for that information to legitimately be out/available/leaked right now, the "screenshot" isn't from any sort of alpha or beta testing, but from current in-game NPCs who are "Dark Rangers" in name and appearance only, the "art," as stated above, is fanart, and the races don't really "fit" in the way you would expect Blizzard to select them (Trolls, with a hunter culture, a bow racial and shadow magic, can't be rangers? Sense, this makes none).

Gnome hunters finally.... goddamnit its the 1

Yeah but they also used screenshots that are just the NPCs from hillsbrad. And really old Sylvanas fan-art
