Cool, but could they give him a model update? Geez he still looks like a WC3 model.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
yay
YES! Do I have your permission to upload this on my twitter?
He stole it from reddit so...
They can just give him a regular orc model. Problem solved. It's not like he is a major character in WoW like Thrall or Guldan.
Anyone with alpha that's gotten to mess with Enhancement? I just want to know what that new cleave/AOE ability Enhance got is and if it'll be something I can finally farm old dungeons/rep with easier instead of the nightmare that is 'flame shock wont spread because it one shots the mob'

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
No shaman at all, they are the only class that is not playable at all right now.
I get it. It's because they're in the process of replacing them with Demon Hunters
Could be a good sign, they were the only class to get an almost universally negative response to the initial class reveal, maybe they are already reworking them.

I'm almost positive that's not the situation. It has more to do with if their artifacts and artifact acquistion quests are complete enough (or the zones they take place in being available.)
Yeah, it's a really minor thing but I like the changes they made to floating combat text. The damage numbers popping off near where your weapons strike the enemy look really cool. That + all these new animations has me really excited. Nice visuals for melee that isn't monk is long overdue.
Just seeing the "true" Ashbringer on a player character has rekindled my dislike of the idea.

I downloaded Legion alpha/beta build 20773. No new console variables as far as I can tell. And as I not yet have access to play, I cannot test the new variables, and I have not found any streamer interested in this sort of thing.
Saw that when I was watching a stream the other week, thought that was pretty cool. I'll have to move that on my UI when it goes live... that's right where my unit frames are :lol

Login screen still features the Warlords of Draenor theme.

You'd think they'd spruce the place up, but Acherus is literally copy-paste Acherus, as far as I can tell. Hopefully that changes or I'll be sad.

Yeah some classes definitely get shafted on their class halls, especially compared to something like... space asteroid demon bases or... crazy Valhalla sky halls.

Like your avatar, right?
What does it spoil?
<lorenerd>Ner'zhul didn't make Stormbringer... Err Frostmourne, the Nathrezim did, to trap Ner'zhul's soul and mind and to control him.</lorenerd>

so... the big draw for me as a tank in warlords was that equipment would serve dual purposes. I can switch to tank spec or dps spec and basically use the same gear, besides rings and trinkets. I think the artifact weapons are cool but the fact that i'll have to level up those things and not really have them as dual purpose for my DK bugs me. Have they talked about how you'll be able to keep items from a dps and tank standpoint relatively even?

Out of context nothing, but it's from a datamined Gul'Dan model that is... significantly changed from his WoD appearance.
Disagree.
It's so close up you can barely tell that he is 'transformed'. You basically only know it's a spoiler if you've seen the picture and therefore already spoiled it for yourself.

I'm really gonna need to see the new ret animations on a tauren.
You're right about Frostmourne being forged by the Nathrezim and it being a separate thing unrelated to Ner'zhul. I'd totally forgotten that until you mentioned it. But I thought the Frozen Throne itself was supposed to physically trap him, because he was already soul/mind-bound to the armor. He cast off the weapon and sent it out into Northrend to lure a champion who might be able to free him from his prison.
What are you referring to exactly? I don't see anything special in this video re: speech, type, etc.

I went into this game thinking Shaman would be my favorite class, the one I stick with for the duration of my time playing the game, but it's just not what I thought it would be. And it's my fault for not researching the class more. There's things I love about it like the totems and various abilities like ghost wolf, feral spirit, spirit walk, and hex but it's not what I was hoping it would be. I was hoping for something that involves interacting with some kind of spirit world but instead it's a focus on elements. I feel like I'm playing a mage or something. I suppose I could focus on the restoration branch but then I'd be limiting myself to just group settings and I wouldn't be able to solo decently. Ah well.

Melee abilities have a bunch of new animations and they look really cool. Warrior's charge especially looks awesome since it's no longer looks like you're just roller blading across the ground to get to your target.
But spellcasters have a lot of updated casting/spell animations as well...that they still shoot out of their hands.
I really hope I'm wrong, but it feels like the "it's still only alpha!" excuse is irrelevant, since they already updated the effects and animations for it...if they were gonna do casting through weapons it would either be incomplete or in already.
Just thought it would kind of make sense to cast drain life through the soul harvesting scythe, guess not.

New dialogue box that shows up when some characters are talking (seems to mostly be used on characters that are not directly near you). If you watch a few minutes into the video it gets used a lot.
There is going to be new stuff for the casting animations too but probably not until the 7.1 type patch
