New Darnassian ship design

[Loreth88]

I see this on twitter and later on wowhead and many think this vessel is more nightborne than kaldorei, what u guy’s think?

[Amnaught]

Night Elf.

Moons, crooked wood planks, Darnassus-colored sails....

Look at the arch.

Yeah i think the same, thats why I don’t understand the other’s claim. I know the brazier from Suramar and the arcane colored metal can be more nightborne, but they was a same race and the design crossover can be cool for both side.

[Julian Rayne]

I think when the missing textures are in it will look more Kaldorei.

Yes, thats true and I think this ship will be Tyrande vessel.

[Julian Rayne]

Yes, thats true and I think this ship will be Tyrande vessel.

I was thinking they'd reactivate the boat from Stormwind to Teldrassil but Tyrande's ship makes more sense.

This will most likely be kaldorei ship. We already know that the seed from Winter Queen will be possibly given to Merithra (and Green dragonflight) for safekeeping until it can take root, so it seems it will be guarded on Dragon Isles... So this ship can be transport vessel, I guess.

Also, each time we discover new continent, we establish travel connections through ships (Northrend, Kul Tiras/Zandalari), portals or both. Perhaps this time, night elves will be Alliance taxi servise to Dragon Isles.

Does look quite a bit like a fancier, updated version of the Night Elf Frigate from Wc3 TFT: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Fri...=NEFrigate.jpg

We use airships this time around.

Those are night elf ships. It’s all here: https://www.wowhead.com/news/new-and...nflight-327800

It's like saying it would be more high elf than blood elf - let's see the full thing when done.

Anyway, Nightborne haven't done ocean faring ships since they were night elves, you know, trapped in a bubble will do that - doesn't mean they won't do them now . if they did, I don't think they would be any different - it is worth remember most Darnassians come from Suramar too - so it is essentially people from teh same region/city.

Only changes you can account for is that the Darnassiasns would have modified the original design - in a world with much more water compared to pre-sundering times, it is likely ship design would have improved Magical influence would be similar - i mean yo u have Highborne amongst the kaldorei so I don't think magic will make a massive difference between the ships from the two groups.

Won't know until it shows up. My guess - it's night elven.

[Raetary]

It's the same old Nelven ships, just hd and somewhat more ornate.

This is true, but the devs talk about Tyrande in this expansion and I Think this ship fits well with the High Priest title.

I mean we won't be using these for taxis most likely. Unless they make more than one dock.

I would like to, but I don’t think that’s the case and almost no one will use them anyway, because portals.

The fact that they exist is what I like. I was pleasantly surprised when I came back during BFA and found out that you can get a ship at the docks and go to Kul Tiras anytime you want. It's more immersive that way. I hated how you couldn't do that for Pandaria, and you were forced to use a portal.

The more public transportation the better, makes the world feel more alive.

Something tells me this is a future-proof update for a NE capital that will be just as streamlined as this ship.

Yes that's true, maybe they will show us some highborne influence on kaldorei architecture.

And some reason we have a horde (blood) elven counterpart of this ship.

Yeah, that's logical.

[Snowfunk]

I don't remember seeing much moon decorations in Suramar.

It has the same Night Elven arches and color scheme, and it's also mostly untextured right now.

I've had my criticisms of DF's designs, but this new model is actually a very good update of this one.
