    Well if a Windrunner dies, I can see it being Alleria. Vereesa still needs to develop a personality so they can take her character places. Would be a waste to kill her.

Yu'lon has assumed the form of a pandaren child named Fei on several occasions, including the aforementioned trial, while Chi-Ji has also been known to use the form of Fat Long-Fat, a red-haired pandaren brawler. Ban-Lu, one of Xuen's children, uses the disguise of a pandaren elder named Master Bu."

    "Elune is a moon goddess of the cosmic realm of Life."

    Remember how the Oracle in Zereth Mortis was speaking draconic when she talked about the Life zereth?

    Ysera ending up in Ardenweald alongside other Wild Gods and Loas.
    As I said before, Blizzard isn’t releasing permanent content that hasn’t been heavily vetted/experienced by the player base.

    If we’re getting a new class, it’ll be something that we’ve already played in another Warcraft-based game, like WC3 or HotS. It won’t be some out of the blue crap we’re hearing about for the first time.

    There are clear differences on the 'R' parts in both 'WORLD' and 'DRAGONFLIGHT' when comparing it to the BfA logo, for example.

    The leg on both R's are straight in the Dragonflight logo, but curved and curly in the BfA logo.

    Still a cool logo, though.

    TBH there has also been the "World of Warcraft" text rework of the font in the promos they announced the announcement with

    Interesting. Doesn't that match the new official stuff we analyzed a few days ago?

    Because the raytracing system in Shadowlands hasn't been reverse engineered and backported to any current client bases for private servers. The tech isn't available, yet, on any private server infrastructure.

    I guess it's possible, but at this point I think it's unlikely.

    I feel like that's a good point, but after shadowlands I also just see the potential of them taking a giant hail mary to try to renew interest, which might include a really out of nowhere class. All we can do is wait and see at this point

    They have the Shadowlands Raytracing shadows which can't be emulated properly on private servers/sandboxes. They utilize textures we already have in the games. They came right in the sweet spot of when legitimate leaks of presentations are the most likely to happen. I really don't know how anyone can entertain the idea they're not real.
    Those pics were debunked awhile ago.

    Because the Icons on the Trees that have arrows pointing left and right on the first screen you are using for reference, are parts of the Skill tree where you make choices between two things. In this case, the first Screen you are looking at has no tree of life, because it is locked into Convoke the Spirits. The second screen you quoted is showing the process of making the choice, because the choice alternative to Convoke in this example is Incarnation (aka Tree of Life for resto).

    Lol, Nah.

    In that case, the Void elves would have literally only one major character left, Magister Umbric, and that will never happen, that is unprecedented. It is unprecedented that a race would have only one major character left in the story. Don't worry, neither Alleria nor Umbric are going anywhere.

    They are, however, going to be on your screen when the Lordaeron revamp expansion is announced later today.

    Well one of the specs of the new class is based around healing with fire (think red dragonflight fire how it can also heal), not sure about anything much more

    Wasn't he who gave Alleria void powers ??

    Yeah, and I have a professional background in using Photoshop. I also in my spare time make tools and assets for private servers. I'm telling you, without a doubt, these are real.

    You do a Hail Mary like the Demon Hunter and bringing back Illidan, two things you know are highly demanded and wildly popular. You don’t throw a Hail Mary into the unknown and risk alienating your player base.
