#legion alpha testing

After you finish the quest line to get the artifact, the NPCs disperse and go back to doing whatever.

Here are some paladins doing paladin things. As a bonus, I jumped into one of the light things. I figured there’d be an invisible wall, but there isn’t.

I’ll post screenshots of various Blood Knight characters I found hanging around. But let me say this. Red and black armor with the Silver Hand tabard? Looks awful. Why would you do this, Bliz?

Also. It doesn’t appear that you can, at this time, transmog over the libram. In fact, the weapon is a two-handed weapon. Meaning, holy paladins, all those years you’ve collected shields and one handed weapons? They’re all useless. 

Also, you can’t just spec into ret and use the holy 2h artifact. It requires holy spec to be equipped. So if you’re holy, you’re going to be leveling holy. 

... at least consecrate is back.

(I’m okay with the two handed weapon because I’ve got a Sun Lute.)

Paladin Class Hall when you first enter it has very few NPCs anywhere. You can wander around and admire the scenery.

So when I chose Zan’s last name, I picked one of the few sampled from NPCs that wasn’t not two english words. I chose Pyreanor. Then I went to the pally trainer in Org. Oops. So I have written it off that Zan’s like, the awkward nephew of this minor NPC. This minor NPC paladin trainer is in the new pally class hall. 

I found the perfect spot to perch Zan when he’s feeling like annoying uncle. Master Pyreanor seems to go back and forth messing with paperwork and maps such all day. He must be bored.

As polished as some of these screenshots look (they don’t let us in the areas that aren’t done yet) there are still some bugs... like this floating treasure chest.

Slight legion spoilers ahead. Well not really.

So Nathanos Blightcaller now has those pretty dark ranger/banshee red eyes. And that smug look on his face. He’s looking pretty good for a deader.

According to Blizzpro, the lower picture here is of the Specter. 

“Part of the curse of the zone is seen in a new bestiary entry–the Specter. Male counterpart to the Banshee, who is commonly seen in Elven ruins all over Azeroth, the Specter is jokingly referred to as the “Manshee” internally”

Mm. There was also someone who allegedly found this in the assets. I haven’t gone digging to see for myself to verify it is actually a thing (I haven't installed model viewer on this machine, so this could be a fan edit too, I dunno yet). But it’s a male blood elf skin with red eyes and a sort of pale grey skin. Like. You know...

This lends to the possibility that we might see male dark rangers someday in game, and to their plausibility of existing via RP. I think David Bowie should have a dark ranger npc because, rockstar? Totes a manshee. :3

The specter shows that male elves in the Warcraft universe can become banshees. If all flavors of female elf can become banshees, shouldn’t all flavors of male elf be able to become specters (male banshees)? 

I’d say that a male dark ranger is probably plausible. I have an inclination to finish leveling my dark ranger bros.

They seem to have gotten rid of the Tirion Fordring statue. 

They also seem to have gotten a Rhonin statue. *eyeroll*
