Please God, give a non-elf focused customization gimmick. Just a crumb.

I personally came up with a theory a while back suggesting that the new area shown in the leaked cinematic still is the Dragon Isles, with Alexstrasza being forced to lead the Dragonmaw there. Imagine if we got both Dragonmaw and the mutations for Orcs. I would love to see a Dragonmaw Orc with optional Draconic features.

Normally I would say Pandaren, but I want them out of this. Them turning into a western dragon would be weird as fuck.

We would be at 3k if the regular postfarmer was more active in this thread.

I do kind of hope my Dragon-person could get a little more uncanny in their humanoid form, though.



Something like this, where it's obvious they're unnatural in nature.

This would be a good approach since the period of her captivity isn't well covered. I maintain that DH should've been open for orcs (Fel orcs) and Draenei (Man'ari) to not encourage the existing elf oversaturation.

If I'm going to speculate, maybe Horde Dragon-People/Evokers/however they get these customizations are from the Dragonmaw that Alexstrasza may have led to the Dragon Isles, whereas the Alliance ones (like the one we see in the picture) are Humans who were sent away by the Vrykul to the Dragon Isles back when humanity first emerged to cure their perceived weakness by turning them into Dragon-people. They definitely aren't elves, since their ears are too short.

Never saw the first leak. It may seem so but I don't actually live in this thread.

Super defensive for posting in a game thread but okay bro
I'll never cease to amaze me how hostile the average WoW player is, as if their life depends on being rude

[Chickat]

I like logos.

For me, seeing the new expansion logo has always been in the Top 3 most exciting parts about the reveal. This one looks disappointing to me, but others seem to like it so I guess I'm alone on this one.

Maybe you will like it when it's animated?

[ercarp]

The more I look at the logo, the less I actually hate it. But it is a very big departure from the silhouette used by every single expansion until now.

[Syegfryed]

What this talk about only humans and elves being the dragon race? that would be so fucking awful, worst than demon hunter

I can't believe, wow devs rly have the reverse midas, everything gold they have they turn into shit

[Hugnomo]

Damn I woke up and so much new stuff has apparently been leaked. It happens so often that stuff gets leaked just prior to announcement

[Rhlor]

Arakkoa was my first thought as well. I'm unconvinced that this is a new animation rig, mind and the way it's attached is very similar to how it was to them. I'm thinking that we're in for a Nightborne situation where there's NPC and PC versions, with the latter being cursed.

Looks like general draven

Well the Blizzard approach to elves being popular is to double down on that insteaf of, you know, do something with the other races.
I've been consistently asking for two things from the game:

1: Make Gilneas City a functional capital again.
2: Show us what the fuck is up with the Pandaren. Their entire culture was built around supressing negative emotions to combat the Sha. That is no longer a thing. Beside the ghost of Shao-Hao, they don't really have a leadership. They don't even seem to have a capital city. And they joined two factions that regularly fight with each other. How are they processing all this?

I just finished updating my spreadsheet with all the leaks I missed as well if you need help catching up. Because there was a lot.

[Wangming]

I can still reveal something nobody is expecting and will be the biggest plot twist here since a long time

When 4 People will quote this Message i will expose it.

You mean the guy with a fake cinematic and nothing real? I'll pass, thank you very much.

I'm kind of curious which image ripped from ArtStation it would be this time, lol.

[Shadochi]

so my source didnt lie when he confirmed me the images

[Chickat]

Alright I'm caught up again. Gonna try to get 6.5 hours sleep. Hopefully be back 30 mins before stream. Good luck guys.
