[Gurmech]

Is that thing in the front meant to be a dwarf woman? Looks kinda like Squealer from Shinsekai yori .

[Shadochi]

The new allied races racials would indicate them to be a 7.3.5 product tho?
No point in adding racials in a 7.3.5 build when its slated for 8.0?

As it has been discussed already, it is probably not gonna be release with 7.3.5 but during or after it and will be greatly tied to the BfA license.

That is one of the best loading screens I’ve seen in WoW. Love the art style.

I think it captures the silliness of the faction war when Azeroth is dying perfectly.

[Raetary]

after not hearing suramar music for a few months, my god the nightborne music is perfection.

My guess is the allied races will be in 7.3.5 for the people who are exalted with their respective factions and in 8.0 for people who (pre)purchase the expansion

Except the Dark Iron Dwarves have racial information for them.

Not sure why you're bringing this up though, the consensus which has been discussed countless times is pretty much that they will be coming some time in the patch. Stop bringing up recycled discussions.

Seems like a ... human pig

[Raetary]

the void elf music has kind of a dessert-y, mysterious orient vibe.

so, a dwarf?

This triggers me

My guess is a gnome.

Though it’s probably a female dwarf since all of the different races are in one of their traditional roles.

If they remove the infantry on that loading screen, it becomes a lot better imo. All of the races on their just look really low quality. The two airships in the background, the ship, and the island itself are good enough for a loading screen.

[Drekmar]

Any changes in Silithus?

I would call it more “stylized”. It’s a specific art style. While I could see how some view it as poor, it’s not supposed to be Marvel cgi quality.

I'm not even a fan of the art style but it certainly is more umm humorous.

I feel that style is captured though with everything else I just mentioned. I understand why some people see the humor in it, but I really don't want blizz to waste their art department in making higher-quality political cartoons.

[Ningjinq]

Here’s something new: in the embassies, there are these banners which you can click on and you get to see a preview of the allied races.

Didn’t see anything new in Silithus unless they made the red glowing orb on top of the sword more pronounced but I don’t remember before what it was like

They're tied to the licence or 8.0, so more than likely comes with a pre-order as 8.0 isn't going to be out for a WHILE. i.e. "Pre-order Battle for Azeroth and gain early access to the new Allied Races NOW". Pre-orders would be off the charts tbh.

[TriHard]

:| No changes to the barbershop in this build either

[THEORACLE64]

lol it's not a gnome. it's waaaaay too tall.
