Thanks hehe. I try, I saw other threads and figured why not for San’layn. Here we are now. I am surprised it’s more well received than I thought too, I figured that because of roleplayers hating San’layn, it’d be hated on more.

Did you make this video Fallynn?

Edit: oh there’s your name at the end! And here I was only joking! Do you have a tumblr?

Wish they brought up the San’layn again in 8.1 or 8.2 discussion.

Yep that’s me! Hehe no joke at all! I have a Tumblr but I only use it for my roleplay toon profiles and some stories. I need to get working on those again for sure.

Me too. But there is that quill of Lana’thel at least so I still have hope.

At least it shows they are still thinking about them at least a little.

Better than the War Campaign being an odd one off.

You’ve fully converted me from just wanting Undead Elves to needing Sanlayn. Unfortunately, I don’t have faith in Blizz to make them as awesome and customizable as they are in that video. I play a Nightborne after all :frowning:

Yeah I agree. Still! Giving suggestions could help get some in. In the very least we can get people like you hyped for the idea. And say we tried! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I love vampire lore (not Twilight trash!) And would love to see Blizzard’s take on it expanded.

For those of us who like the “tear marks” Sylvanas has maybe we could have a more extreme tear like markings (like thinner, lighter, but down the face more).

Any one watch Wander Over Yonder?

The character Lord Dominator has really good examples of those marks.

Aso, how would people like it if San’layn had long boney fingers like from Nosferatu the silent film from 1922?

While I have no ideas to add to the opening post I will toss my support in for playable San’layn becoming a thing it would only make sense that like the Valkyr they would look for a means to be of use to another leader with the death of Arthas.

Anytime someone hits y’all with the Twilight comparison, your response reminds me of this webcomic.

Stopping by to show my support +1 for San’layn/Darkfallen.

I believe in a more Diverse WoW and this is an amazing step in the right direction.

Touching.

Yeah actually I think the video I made with Qualia’s art showed options like that for suggestions! It would make them very unique and probably offer people what they want.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdEo_t-iVbM this is one of my favorite villain songs! I don’t watch it much myself, and really should actually take a look at the entire series. But yes, I agree.

Thanks very much! I agree of course, and who knows, there might be a leader hiding somewhere that we don’t know about yet. I hope so, anyway.

This is an excellent comment and represents how we think perfectly!

Thanks very much! I agree, it’ll make things a lot more fun.

That one got me…

Thoughts on the boney fingers from 1922 Nosferatu?

Oh right! I think it would be a cool option, it would make them quite bat-like if they did that too. Along with long claws I think it could definitely add to the creep factor for sure. I’m not a fan of the Nosferatu look as a whole but I think the fingers bit would definitely be appropriate. Hmm I think we see the Blood Princes with long claws, but they could definitely expand on the whole bat-like/boney fingers idea.

I for one would love to see Kirtonos the Herald be their “hidden” progenitor and leader he was a vampire-like boss in the original Scholomance even though he had an Forsaken model that could easily be updated to reflect more Elvish one not unlike the upgrades that Nathanos Blightcaller has been given to be less rotting corpse to more fresh looking undead.
For that matter make the transformation their races flying mount. true it would cause some complaining from demon hunter players but eh…
