[Spoilers] Shadowlands Alpha Thread

Based on strings, tauren are getting a lot of new options this build. Eye Color, Earrings, Necklaces, Headdress, Piercings, Bodypaint Style, Facepaint Style, Paint Color, and Fringe/Bangs are totally new options, and there’s some new things for the existing options of Hair, Skin Color, Horn Style, and Facial Hair.

THANK GOODNESS

…Ahem. As someone who rolled a tauren her first time out and has struggled to ever make another because of their heinous lack of customization, this is the news I needed to hear.

  • NEW Stage 10: Tyrande Whisperwind’s Refusal
    The battle is won, but what of Tyrande?

  • NEW Stage 11: Salvation of the Night Elves
    Tyrande is gone, but you can still save the group of night elves trapped in the Maw.

Uh…so either Tyrande is missing or she is dead. With the context given, sounds more like she’s perishing.

In Shadowlands, Druids can travel to their local Barber Shop and now choose their Bear and Cat Form appearances separately from their character’s hair or fur color. This addition to the Barber Shop services will also include the option to select Bear and Cat Form Artifact appearances so all Druid specs can have the choice to shapeshift into their unlocked Artifact appearances and allow Guardian and Feral Druids to have more choices with weapon transmogs when choosing their Artifact forms.

The Barber Shop will also allow Druids to select their favorite Aquatic, Flight and Travel Forms so that they will no longer require switching glyphs to change the animal forms. These glyphs will now become a one-time use to unlock the appearance and switch the forms easily at the Barber Shop.

What colors and forms do you plan to have for your Druid?

Oh my god the flowers in the Tauren hair were displayed on the stream and they look like happy poppies. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

No bull nose piercing option…only left or right :sob:

Wow… just wow.

Blizzard: Let’s genocide the Night Elves, have Tyrande gain a useless power and fail to save her people from being raised into undeath, OH and have it so that all those innocent Night Elves (men, women, and children) are condemned to suffer eternally in the Maw. Sound good? What? Oh right of course, let’s then kill off Tyrande too to never let her get retribution for her people. Makes sense!

I literally half expect them to now redeem Sylvanas in some way and justify her genocide. What is this crap writing?

This is speculation but someone mentioned something in the Story Forums that I absolutely loved and it was “Tyrande is staying to hunt down Sylvanas” which does make sense since her and the Jailer are in the Maw.

The “Tyrande is gone, but you can still save the souls in the Maw” Is not promising at all. It just straight up sounds like she is dead, unless she goes after Sylvanas while we stay behind to save the souls?

The step name “Tyrande Whisperwind’s Refusal” sounds much more like she’s leaving than that she’s dying.

That’s what it sounds like. It mentions that the souls are quite angry so maybe the group splits up and she continues her hunt for Sylvanas. Or she has gone full on Maiev and instructs us the deal with the souls while she goes after Sylvanas.

Yeah. Think she’s going full tunnel vision with her quest for vengeance.

Guys, I’m absolutely losing my mind. Tauren actually have some options… and the bangs… Ohhh I hope the males get the bangs so badly!

They do.

I think it’s actually based off the Highland breed of cattle.
