Well actually the Dranei...
(http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/images/art/ss31.jpg)
Spaceships? Check.
Shields? (Paladin) Check.
While yes, I'm happy that the new race are the Dranei the whole Dranei=Eredar thing isn't my cup of tea...
-
I have no idea who the Dranei are, and I have if not actually played then certainly watched others play both Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne, aside from playing WoW. Is Blizzard just making this up as they go along, or is there some sort of precedent for the new race that I'm unaware of.
-
The Draenei were mentioned in the Warcraft II manual as the first race that the Orcs wiped out when they made pacts with the demons.
They first made an appearance in The Frozen Throne, but they were apparently 'corrupted' versions.
The big twist is that they're the same race as Warcraft III's main villain.
-
Ho ho ho. So I'm guessing they're mana whores?

I've never beaten WCIII, but could you explain the whole same race thing to me? It seems rather dubious.
-
http://www.wowwiki.com/Draenei has some good information on the new race.
-
might be worth me actually rerolling to a pally come burning crusade.
-
Archimonde Pallies are going to be bad ass. Y'all know you're going to re-roll just to get a free epic flying spaceship mount at level 70.

Space pirate elves!

I have almost full judgment on my paladin but when Expansion comes i'm quite sure that i will be rerolling to Dranei paladin or warrior:p

What a load of crap....
Blood Elves are Horde? (aka - evil??)
Then theis guys??? ugh..I?m gonna be sick.
And yes, Blizzard does invent things as they go along...Becouse if they planned this then I have no respect left for them at all...
-
Erm... where is it written that Horde are the bad guys and Alliance the good guys? It's not that black and white. Both new races and their factions do make sense considering their history.
-
Dranei were in WC3. they have a pretty cool feature, like, some of them have this flame cloak thing.
and some of them can throw shruikens.
i think...
i remember you play as Dranei for a portion of the WC3 campaign.
-
Blood Elves are Horde...which means that if you are human or night elf you will have to kill them as you are on opposite sides...You cna't invite tthem in your party...and so on..
And considering what happened to the Blood Elves, they don't deserve it...
Guess Blizzard thought - ok, the Allaince has elves allready, so lets give the Hoirde some elves...and the Horde has taurens, so lets give the allaince allso something similar (check the legs on that guy). That mirror principle sickens me...

Yeah, well, those Draenei would have made sense. But apparently these are new Draenei, who are really Eredar, but not really because they're paladins now instead of Warlocks, making them Draenei, and the old Draenei are now "mutated" Draenei.
GG blizz...

It makes perfect sense. The blood elves, having broken from the Alliance, now find themselves in the ragtag collection of misfits that is the horde. I don't know what to make of the Dranei, quite frankly, because they just seem random, but the Blood elves as Horde only bothers me because everyone who is not alliance gets shoved in there (see: the Forsaken) and not because they are not alliance. The alliance treated the blood elves like crap in Frozen Throne, and those elves have started feeding on Demonic energies which makes them quite opposite from the light-serving races. The Horde should be Orcs, Trolls, and maybe Tauren and the others should belong to a different faction. That would have been the way to go with the expansion IMHO, but the two-side thing has been set in stone for a while now.

You can't be serious...
I'm embarrassed FOR you...lets analyze that first statement:
"Dranei are Alliance...which means if you are Horde, you will have to kill them and can't invite them to your party and such...LOLROFL How 5tup1d!"
See how that works? And interestingly enough, I must assume you are an Alliance weenie. In which case, I fully understand why you feel the need to vent, what with the Alliance's tendency of getting raped by the Horde. We understand.

That's why the Horde rules. We don't treat our people like crap. Even when they're dead goth chicks plotting to wipe us out with a plague.
But we don't let that get in the way of making sweet... sweet... love. While picking up the clavicle that broke off...
-
Meh. The Blood Elves will just attract the 13 year olds going "OMG TITS!" to the Horde. Keep those suckers on Alliance.

Dude, I don't even play WOW...

good lord, it's funny how people seem to choose sides outside the game, i mean, i have both hoarde and alliance characters, and quite personally, i don't see any difference in the majority of personalities in either party, the barrens chat is rather like the elwynn chat, but really it's all "i'm a hoarde player, go suck it alliance" or "I'm an Alliance peep, hoarde fear my wrath!" or some **** like that.
either way, it's both amazing and pathetic to see in action..

Well on Kirin Tor, Barrens chat is rather idiotic (ZOMG!!! WALKAR TEXAS RANGAR1!!!!) but so all are of the Alliance chats up to level 30 or so :p
...and in PvP the Horde players are generally bright and organized while the Alliance are a lost cause.
