France mentioned *waves baguette and prepares the guillotine*

Honestly people would go nuts over a naga playable race! But I still think ethereals is more likely

In warmode Tazavesh is marked as Alliance teritory

[Kereberus]

If the AI slop was bad this time, I can't imagine in two years when TLT leak season starts.

[Ersula]

People assume something is a fake because of an AI.
It might be AI and still be real. Blizzard and cutting corners isn't something new.

You can't use cgi to make a photo-realistic fmv models... if you had cinematic quality models for the characters why would you use AI renders in promo art?

Also something I ask everyday? Why Azshara? She has nothing to do with Quelthalas - maybe she appears in patch content but no way is she in the cinematic

I'm reasonably sure that's an accident. Even as the guy who is the most skeptical about ethereals, they're the most neutral race that ever neutraled

They really shouldn't be an Alliance race, and I'm not just saying this as someone who does not want them as an Alliance race

Because they said several times Midnight would put the emphasis on reuniting the elven tribes, technically the naga are deformed elves (or evolved elves, depends on who you ask hehe), and Azshara was formerly allied with the Void until she was betrayed, so she might try and come back in some way. That and in-game items prophetising her return have been around since DF.

So, I was checking the code on the Blizzard shop in hopes of finding anything similar to the Bolvar leak back in Shadowlands, didn't find anything about midnight but there is one string about a Samwise spellbreaker art. The link does not work as intended however

No, it's a mustache. That's how I see it. That's how Blizzard sees it, and you mustache haters are going to deal with it.

Ok so you're just delusional. In that art his facial hair literally looks the same as it always has in the last two decades. And completely different from the fake press kit leak.

Maybe Ethereans for the Alliance and Naga for the Horde?

In my opinion, this is the best time to bring back Azshra and make the Naga a playable race. It's an expansion that touches on the key themes of Naga and Azshara, which are the Elves and Void.

ethereal or high elves fans might be crashing out today after the reveal.

Finally, I was hoping for a response :3

I don't think they will ever do faction specific (allied) races anymore, especially if they revamp the whole race system.

Oh you know how it is sometimes just look at Goblins/Highmountain/Nightborne/Zandalari
Void Elves and Alleria could be their link to alliance.

i saw this on brasil channel but its not a lot

Although that takes away the factions' own identity, I also think that if we have a new race it will be neutral and Naga would be the best alternative in my opinion.

If it also matters, it is easy to scroll through warcraft press kits. Cinematic stills don't have logos.

It looks like Frankfurt is just in the eye of the storm, possibly to spare my old workplace.

[deviantcultist]

No new playable class
3rd dh spec shown but not detailed
2 new paladins
Learn languages and dances
Cross faction content expanded
Housing further along than you think
No new race at launch

Sounds good enough. Other than that, I don't believe anything until I see it.

[Aetal]

I have one prediction, nothing big. I think all similar races (any race that is kind of a subrace) will all be put together on character creation.

[Enrif]

I don't think they will ever do faction specific (allied) races anymore, especially if they revamp the whole race system.

yeah, i'm in the same boat. there is not many races left that make sense to be in only one faction. Most would be neutral at this point. And i forsee a more faction neutral future for WoW. At least faction neutral in regards to horde and alliance. Other factions could become more important
