    .. right so,

    Again, we are talking darkfallen which is mentioned in the book and we know what classes they portray, including san'layn. Sure ofc you cAn rp as one now.. i see that, but thats not the point.

    Talking about red eyes pale skin a very specific dark ranger/darkfallen thing. Druid and pala stills feels off, as they were never a thing, but it is now appearntly.

    Yup, this is pretty much my interpretation too.
    I am talking paladin and druid. Which are two classes we never seen with those features. It is a thing now.. appearntly, which is pretty big.

    We know for a while now that Darkfallen are undead elves, its a suprise for me that includes paladins.

    This might be one of those cases where what applies to player races/classes isn't neccesarily what's been portrayed in the story before. Time will tell if this is just something they had to deal with to give elves as a whole access to the skin or if this is something they canonically want to give a basis in lore.

    Eh? I saw most people hoping for much more, allied races and preorder stuff. But sure, if some one had low expectations then i guess encryption was okay.

    Anyone done Belf storyline? Do you unlock transmog for Belf paladin when you complete it on other char?

    Does this effectively mean we have undead paladins now?
    I have seen multiple people with the same question, knowing that the red eyes specifally with elves means dark rangers and san'layn. Just suprised about this takr by blizz, but I doubt we get more info regarding this tbh.

    The preorder stuff is still encrypted for whenever preorders go live. As for the allied race one, having high expectations like a fully encrypted allied race doesn't make it a realistic one. That's, once again, on the community for hyping themselves up too much.

    I know everyone hates this answer, but that is up to your interpretation until Blizzard clarifies it, if they ever do. Again, things like this affecting only player races isn't neccesarily something that's canonical to the story.

    If they were waiting for 9.2.5 to go live, that'll be tonight (~5 hours from now) but that is a huge "if". If they want to wait until 9.2.5 is live in all regions, they won't be available until tomorrow. But again, that's basing it on them waiting on 9.2.5 which is a giant asspull.

    Also, interesting to mention it… Velonara talks about the Night Elves that want to go back to the Alliance… what about the ones that stay? Shouldn’t they be playable as Horde? Now that the Void Elves can be darkfallen too, I don’t see why the Horde can’t get darkfallen Night Elves!

    Oh I agree completely. But wow's community is well known for hyping itself up with unknown and often unreasonable stuff.

    With crossfaction play you can just do that though? Again, the beauty of roleplaying is that you don't have to be constrained by ingame "rules".

    Worgen and Goblins have had all Monk animations since Mop to avoid issues with transformation toys.

    Only reason they can't be Monks is still that their starting zones are timelocked and didn't have Pandaren to teach them.

    Allied Races were always overdose on copium distilled hopium. They were never going to happen.

    Pre order bonuses are in. It is just that they are still encrypted as the pre sales haven't begun.

    They can easily fix that with either a retcon or having them start in exiles reach though. And Lightforged don't have that excuse anyways.

    Because there isn't Horde Aligned Night Elf player race.

    Just like Alliance High Elves were unplayable from Vanilla untill Shadowlands, Horde Night Elves will be NPCs only.

    I can’t visit Orgimmar though… and for the record, yes, I roleplay. Hope they make it more flexible for DF.

    I also missed not seeing Delaryn during the new quests.

    Josh Keatons voice acting in the Anduvanas cutscene was top notch.

    I mean what were people realistically expecting? 99% a problem of expecting way too much when Blizzard has given us very little in the last years.
