A Human for the Horde?

So I was leveling my blood elf priest who was 17 at the time in the Eversong Forest. Everything was normal until I go to Fairbreeze Village to sell junk and notice a human that was horde! I thought maybe it was a disguise from Hallow’s End, but they had zero effects except being dressed as a pirate. They were a level 8 frost mage at the time with a heritage pet, a black cat who’s name escapes me. I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I tried to look up the character in /who and there was no results. Tried the armory and nothing! They were gone just like that and I wish I took a screenshot of the incident now. Is Blizzard adding the ability to switch sides in the new expansion??

TL:DR I saw a human that was horde, but couldn’t find any trace of them anywhere

No.

Because they were actually someone’s dinner.

I take it you’re not one for cross-faction races?

I am not. It’s a wildly bad idea.

Horde already have humans. Ok, so they’re just second-hand humans someone dug up after the Alliance humans chucked them away when they broke, but they still Horde humans.

I don’t know what to tell you, but I swear I saw it. I never thought I’d use the forums, but I had to get this word out

Not true. Blood Elves do not eat humans. We’re more refined and classier than that.
Probably was a lost human. We get them now and then. They are just sent thru the portal to Undercity.

Probably one of the many transformation toys. They didn’t use to but now when you use a transformation toy and hover over someone it will have the race the toy turned them to as their race.

That is a costume. You saw a horde wearing a pirate costume.

Have to be level 10+ to show in armory. You also can’t /who low-level characters.

Typical PvP name, but you maybe need to remove it because call-outs are against the forum rules.

I had no idea, thank you, but does the pirate costume change your race too?

Some do, some don’t. The one from Pirates Day won’t change your race, but savory deviate delight definitely does (I use that when I want to be smaller for some low-ceiling dungeons).

wouldnt that show under the effects then? it didnt say anything about a toy

Human’s are the sandwich food guilty pleasure of all blood elves. :stuck_out_tongue:

It was most likely a transformation from a candy bucket “trick”. I think the pirate wand also changes your race.

the thing about those tricks is it says “disguised as _____”, which wasn’t listed in the effects. not sure about the pirate wand. it could very well be that

Not in any practical sense, but it does change you to the human model. As do the various deviate fish transformations.

Yes. It makes you into a human. It’s the hallows end custume toy. As a result (It’s been either a bug or a feature for a while) when you mouse over someone, it’ll say they’re the race of the transformation toy.

In other words, if I use Kalythia’s Locket, it’ll say I’m a night elf priest, despite being a blood elf priest. It’s just a thing in the game. And, as Dreta said, cross faction races would be a wildly bad idea.

Lower class ones maybe. Like Void elves :sunglasses:.

They keep up the trend they are going now I’m swearing off meat that came from a fur bearing animal.

My new go to Whopper…Impossible Whopper. (They aren’t to bad, until you find out that it’s not a real Whopper.) lol
