    For those who don't play Alliance and never saw any of the Darkfallen stuff in BfA

    I know that.
    But, you immediately jump on the race wagon. They could be a faction, like the Knights of the Ebon Blade or the Illidari.

    If they never implemented Death Knights and added a Necromancer class instead, maybe that could have been a possibility. Would have been an interesting class skin.

    The rest is true, but its so long ago Its just what it is at this point. That being said, I hella curious if all this * evidence* is really going to give us Darkfallen.

    Darkfallen now being the race of dark rangers and san layn , I hope they give them some vampiric features if possible.

    We have to wait and see, but this part of 9.2.5 intrigues me.
    I'm still suspicious toward Holinka's intention to make all old classes be open to all races, but I think the only one that's a stretch is Shaman.

    Darkfallen Paladins : Blood Knights, only more blood, less knight
    Darkfallen Druids : We have Revendreth as a Druid biome, that seems obvious. They have their own vampiric animals & plants. Perhaps a stoneborne moonkin form?

    Unless we're talking vampires.
    Then why are Blood elves who sucked on a void titty a race? Why are humans who got fat a race?

    Dark elves.
    Different body-sized Human models existed in Vanilla.

    Because they couldn't give regular high elves to the Alliance because Blood Elves would throw a fit, so they made something up when they decided Nightborne were going to be Horde.

    Why are we doing two Forsaken races is just as valid of a question. Why do Blood Elves get to have now 4 race slots?

    Darkfallen is the race and san layn is an organisation of them. If they become playable, then sure they would be a faction. Either being just called darkfallen or san layn.

    Idk what else you mean.

    Yea.. little overboard at this point. You name 2 classes who have differnt art needed as the interview stated.

    I think with darkfallen we have to look at obvious and practical classes. Druid and pala like you said all sounds wonderfull, but likely not something will happen imo.

    I will be shocked honestly if they bothred with all new art needed for those.

    Altho blood knight sounds like it could fit.. its sadly just in the name and doesnt stand for blood like vampires. Doesnt seem very fitting, this is like giving undead the paladin class. They already told us, they are not quite there yet. So classes that feel better are classes like mage, priest, rogue, hunter and war.

    How is San'layn an organization?

    It sounds like you need to listen to the full interview. I said it was a long shot before 10.0 but Holinka said the ultimate goal was to have all the pre-Evoker classes be avaliable to all pre-drakthyr races. And, as he also said, Druid, Shaman & Paladin are harder to make playable because they use race-specific assets.

    Because Undead Night Elves were really cool and Blood elves were the most popular race by a huge margin, if I had to guess.

    That they could have made it a customization? Sure. Why not?

    Warriors in Vanilla were practically geared to look like DK's with Naxx gear. Tier 3 armor and Slayer of the Lifeless made you look very similar to a DK, and that was before any real ability customizations were added to the game. If they added a Legendary that granted abilities like Death Coil and Army of the Dead, you'd get very close to customizing a DK.

    That's a race.

    But, that would be teasing players till their balls get blue.

    Which is what I said.. In other words they are not quite there yet. The extra art needed and since we are talking about 9.2.5 its a def no to these for now. Maybe past 10.0, but I will have to wait and see. I would love undead paladins, but Darkfallen bloodknight still doesn't feel right imo. I have seen the interview.. and they also said that locks and paladins still have some barriers, art being one, but lore as well. They would need find a fine line there first I think.

    We have the Darkfallen(race) and they are split between two groups, dark rangers and the san'layn.

    Its actually not new, now thinking about it, the beastery page of the wotlk website back in the day had darkfallen in their new creature/race list, it was never added and stayed greyed out, this was before dark rangers had anything to do with them... So with that, it was basically already known that Darkfallen was the name of the race and that makes san'layn the name of their organisation. The only real new thing was that Dark rangers are now also called Darkfallen as a race and that casters went one way formed a group and (the lich king or themselves idk?) called them san'layn and rangers and the like the other way and called them dark rangers. It's not much, but that's what we got so far.

    Right gotcha. I do believe many would have not been happy with that.. imagine if the death knight was still not playable and we would have had the same discussion wether they should be a class or a class skin. People would have been crying to play like Arthas and raise minons and be like him etc etc. Necromancer wouldn't have fufilled the real death knight feel aka warcraft 3 imo, but necromancer is a perfect class skin option tbh.

    But we wouldn't have anything to compare it to. Death Knight was the first class, so it set the precedent for what people now expect of new classes. I don't think it's fair to say what people are happy or unhappy about, since everything was still absolutely new and the game and our classes could have gone in any number of directions.

    Like maybe there could have been Prestige classes, so a Warrior could Prestige into Death Knight, Blademaster or Warlord/Highlord. Or double down on adding new classes that don't have 3 viable Raid specs; Vanilla/Everquest style balance where each class has mainly 1 role.

    The Hero Class system they used was good, but it's amounted to us having 4 new classes in the past 18+ years of WoW. Sure, DK fans got their due, but what about everyone else? We waited 12+ years for Demon Hunter. If they went with a Prestige or Class-centric design rather than Spec-centric, we may have seen much more full representation of new classes much earlier, instead of waiting indefinitely on getting to see a true Blademaster or Necromancer playable, if ever.

    Like if I were to be absolutely frank, the Death Knight concept would have been absolutely fine with just 1-2 specs focusing on Roles rather than Spelltype themes. Did we need a Frost spec DK? Did we need Blood style tank? Unholy was the bread and butter WC3 DK theme, and it could have been fine if it was just broken up to 'Tank spec' and 'DPS spec' with mostly Unholy spells and summons , while Frost and Vampiric abilities get thrown into the mix through talents. You'd still have access to some powerful Frost abilities in your Tank or DPS gameplay; they'd just be more a choice-driven decision to enhance your Tank or DPS role, rather than being a completely defined Specialization.

    It'd play out much more like Heroes of the Storm Arthas, where if you feel like playing more Unholy you could double down on your Death Coil Talents, or if you want to play up Frost you could put all your points to boost Frostmourne Hungers and Howling Blast, or if you feel like being tankier you take the Blood Tap talents. Overall, Arthas feels like a complete Death Knight of all 3 specs, without literally being split up into 3 different DK characters.

    Still very convinced the Covenant races will be 10.0 pre-order bonus. Venthyr are a work of art. Absolutely perfect for the Horde.

    I would have said the other way around.
    That San'layn is the race and that Darkfallen is the organization, as it encompasses more than just San'layn.

    Though, it can be regarded as just another name:
    "The Argussian Reach, also known as the Krokul or the Darkfallen, is a faction associated to the Broken of Argus based in Krokul Hovel."
