If only we knew if the armor the new one had on was available to us.

    Ooh that would be really nice, the fire effect is cool but some beards would work super well without it.
    Evil only wins when it spreads. It can cause destruction, it can cause death—but those are consequences of its nature, not its victory. Not its goal. The danger of evil, the purpose of evil, is that it causes those who would oppose it to become evil also.

    Honestly would be a good option for people that want the "classic" Dark Iron look. I'd hope they finally add color variations for the flames on top of it if so though, felfire beards for Warlocks and blue flames on Death Knights would be insane.

    Don't suppose anyone has seen a Dracthyr with regular armour somewhere in the many videos? I still want to believe.

    It's our first Ethereal wearing chest armor AFAIK, so that is saying something. So even if it's a special guy, they bothered to put a new costume on him.

    It will be incredibly annoying to deal with.

    it also makes no sense.
    I'm there to save their nation from a Void invasion, yet can't freely stroll through their city?

    Especially when we are most definitely gonna be able to run around the Sunwell, we saw the Helf banners and Arator/Turalyon there.

    I, resident Alliance Champion of Azeroth, can freely visit the Blood Elves from sacred site, but am barred from what? Farstrider Square? The Royal Exchange?
    It's stupid.

    Have it be a fully open neutral hub for the expansion and then cut off the Alliance from using services once the expansion is over, ala Gilneas/Bel'Ameth
    I get you, that's a genuinely good point - we're there to save Quel'thalas from the Void. No contest there. Though, on my end - given Silvermoon is a Horde place first and foremost, I do not mind. It's understandable that they wouldn't want us Alliance folk rummaging around willy nilly. I doubt that the blocked off sections will be significant, too - they're not gonna lock profession trainers, quest givers, ETC ETC in faction exclusive territory.

    Nyeh. Maybe I've just got fond memories of accidentally running into the Sunreaver section in Dalaran and laughing at myself for somehow forgetting I'm not supposed to be there.

    Wow, there is a lot of new b-roll in that Xbox thing. This is what I mean with how weird their messaging has been.

    It honestly looks like player armor. There's a lot on him, it seems like it could be a full set, very possibly a heritage/civilian set for Ethereals.

    It has their funny idle pose and it seems to have bandages on its arms and a transparent chest.

    If it flat out has an Ethereal in it and also showcasing new Endeavors that haven't been revealed, I can only assume it's footage meant for later release?

    The stance looks similar to a nightborne, but.. the clothes remind me of Broker/Ethereal stuff
    Fucking christ.

    Make. Them. Playable.

    What else would it be?

    You can see the bandages on his arms, and he's wearing a K'areshi themed set.

    we don't. But the idle stance doesn't fit any of the current player races. the nightborne have the closest i think, but the ethereal idle stance looks also like that. Also, bandages on the arms, and the puffy style fits Brokers

    I'm sure they'll design it in a smart way. Probably make the horde only bits indoors with relatively small passageways into them so you can't easily accidentally skyride through them. Pure speculation but I'm sure they are thinking of these things

    This. You guys should... calm down.

    It's very possible this is just a "Wandering Merchant" thing that shows up with rotating furniture stock once a week or something. Hence it being a consistent NPC in neighborhood central location shots.

    Also for a split second you see the back of a Female Amani, showing it's pretty obviously using the Orc model.

    That salty Alliance tears. I waited for it since WoD, probably. What a warm feeling.
    Don't worry, TLT will be even more Alliance aligned than TWW. But this time, before devs change their plans bc of some crybabies - red team is feasting.

    Likely theory. Yuvalal also noted he exists in the Horde neighborhood footage.
