Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

I just realized that instead of Valeera we could have had Finley as a delve companion and that made me sad. Still since they chose the stripper I hope she pulls a Xenia Onatopp and strangles trolls with her thighs as a stun ability.

Does anyone particularly like Valeera as a character? Her longevity seems entirely tied to the Belf concept art in TBC being really cool....and never appearing as obtainable armor. She's the "cool armor" character.

[nysisyn]

We can already to this tbh

Not really. There is not green like the Forest troll use. We can do something close but it's more blue than green to me.

They realize there was a human male without elf arm candy and came up with Valeera, the rogue with her thighs completely exposed so you can slash her femoral easier.

Finley? The immersiveness of delves was already bad enough with Brann around. I was hoping they'd announce letting your alts be the companion instead so I wouldn't have to put up with any future joke characters.

To be honest I don't like bran at all and for some godforsaken reason both him and his voice actor keep coming back. I'll take Valeera for an expansion or patch cycle.

The whole dozen of us who read the Warcraft comics are likely rather found of her.

Every one else…..,she looks cool.

I saw that...

Delves immersive? I mean I think half the stories are just silly. I just want to slap a void monster with a fish.

CATALOG_SHOP_RACE (New) - Race

Possibly, but I was thinking its just as likely to just be a model preview function. But I'm all for paid races if we finally get the ones people have been asking for 10+ years.

What are some of the easiest implementable paid player races?
Ogres (updated Boomkin model reskin, even Rexxar uses it)
Leper Gnomes (gnomes, obviously, but maybe for horde)
Mogu (draenei)
Ethereal (original, or maybe fit to Nightborne rigging if they had to)
Saberon (Worgen)
Gnolls (Also Worgen)
Botani (Nigh Elf)
Tuskarr (Pandaran)
Gil Goblins (though basic goblin customization options would be more appropriate)

[Jaggler]

They already here though. So I think we need another humans in the Horde.

I mean High Elves are already in the Alliance as well, but people still demand them :P

[Merryck]

I'm ashamed to admit I would buy an Ethereal.

[Cheezits]

Yeah, is that a button or a shop category?

[Magistrate]

If new races are purchased in the shop, there's gonna be like fifty billion options within a year.

It could be that you just can change the race of the model you're previewing something like shop transmog or a mount with.

Like if you're playing a nelf and looking at a potential purchase that you think might look good on a dwarf, you don't have to relog to see that preview.

Could be a race though who knows.

The other two strings around it seem to just be UI elements though. "Details" is pretty self explanatory. "Back" could just mean the background behind the model you're previewing with, like when you look at transmog in game. Sometimes stuff looks different depending on the environment (like gold armor in a bright green forest vs a dark blue cave).

Ehm, what are we looking at??

From what I can tell it already had this functionality. But maybe Mar can chime in.

[Cheezits]

It just shows your current model. I am guessing if it's a button you can show how it looks on other races.

[Marlamin]

There is an entirely new shop UI being worked on.

It will have a new refreshed UI, housing support as well as various other improvements. They're still working on it so any new strings are likely related to that, haven't looked deep enough to see if the race string implies something like races being on the store or if it is just for a button to change the previewing race.

That would be interesting but i think it will be only modelviewer for mounts/transmog options in shops. Similiar to wowhead one like New feature - try looks on diff races before you buy ?
