Comment by EgregiousWoW Classic or I don't want to hear about it. Comment by mast3r67 So what's the point of all these speculation posts? Plenty of people take them for news and I feel they just spread misinformation and create disappointment. I feel it's the weakest category of news you have here. Stick to what you do best, not these click baits! Comment by toniplavna WARCRAFT 4 HYPEEEEEEE Comment by nikolaivelikovv So what's the point of all these speculation posts?

Agree! Although I do like some speculation now and then, recently it feels like they don't have what to write about and its just speculation after speculation. Comment by Lagerx Diablo Netflix series? Warcraft 4? Come on, this isn\u2019t a prediction article and you know it. Change the name to far fetched wishlist. Lol Comment by VindicatorElinra Diablo Netflix series? Warcraft 4? Come on, this isn\u2019t a prediction article and you know it. Change the name to far fetched wishlist. Lol

But the Diablo Netflix series has been confirmed in production by multiple credible media outlets?

How is that a far fetched thing? And with the soaring success of Castlevania on Netflix at the moment, (Which is a TV-MA animated game adaptation. Very diablo-ish) i'm willingly to bet the people behind the Diablo series have even more push to do so. Comment by Lagerx No kidding? Well then I\u2019ll apologize, I haven\u2019t heard anything about it haha. Now if you can confirm the Warcraft 4 speculation you\u2019ll make my day.

I get where you are coming from, but they make it very clear in the headline and in the article that it's speculation - so not sure it's fair to describe it as click-bait - people will be people though and regurgitate rumours as fact losing the source - I don't think that's a valid reason not to speculate though, just an unfortunate reality. Comment by Wepstar I hope Tyrande will survive. She is the only thing left that still holding me in this game.\r
But my Predictions she will lose her demigod powers. Comment by Peredhil Classic or I don't want to hear about it.\r
\r
That's a classic stance... Comment by Dethrix Blizzard have been really cleaver and double bluffed or have shot themselves with diablo. \r
\r
Unless it's D4, a massive D3 expansion or a spin off game I think peole will generally be disappointed....\r
\r
Think they will deliver some real wow 8.2 hype to help soften the critism of BfA as well. Comment by Shooteru Warcraft4? i loved the game,so yes,please! Comment by dkcm As a gnome player, I'm psyched for a Junker Gnome race. As a realist, this seems like a huge waste of resources since no one but myself and five other players actually actively play Gnome Characters. But we thank Blizz for this if they do it. Also, I've been asking for over 10 years. Can we PLEASE get a jetpack mount? It's easily lore-correct. You have Goblins and Gnomes. You have an engineering profession. There's already jetpacks in game. Why won't they do this? Comment by cgilm2526 Just tell me when I will get to fly in BfA.... LOL Comment by AlakeiThancan My best predictions are : probably a couple or more heritage armors (maybe Worgen ?), definitely two new allied races (although I'd bet on more than just two, probably 4 or 6 like last year's Blizzcon). Definitely Vulpera. Perhaps Jinyu\/Hozen. Very likely to have lightforged undead and undead night elves. Pretty left field but maybe we'll get forest trolls\/mok'nathal\/broken draenei or something like that.

Also, not very likely but if they announce High elves, I'm gonna giggle so hard. Comment by Vremon warcraft 4 bro you neeed to make warcraft 4 he will destroy league of legends and dota ! make with it diablo graphic or hots graphic warcraft 4 ! Comment by Drakvul Why are people calling mechagnomes "junkergnomes."\r
\r
Here's a list of allied races more likely than "lighforged undead" "junkergnomes" "undead any elf"\r
\r
The List\r
Anything else.\r
\r
Dark Rangers only have two classes. Rogue and Hunter. Maybe warrior too, but that will still leave them missing literally any other class. That's not happening. Maybe they'll be a future customization option for undead. It's very clearly shown that the night elves raised in Darkshore are manipulated\/mind controlled. That's not going to cut it for this storyline. Azeroth > The Horde or Alliance\r
\r
Lightforged undead don't exist in the game yet, randomly introducing them without us even seeing Calia isn't going to make sense from a narrative perspective. More importantly, it's obvious that Calia is supposed to become the new leader of the Forsaken when Sylvanas is defeated\/steps away\/put on a bus with Med'an. Void Elves barely got away with that, but at least they had a couple characters in game before then.\r
\r
My bets are on high elves, wildhammer dwarves, vulpera I guess, forest\/ice trolls, and my hope is one day hozen and jinyu. Comment by AlakeiThancan Why are people calling mechagnomes "junkergnomes."\r

Allow me to reverse your argument. High elves, and wildhammers dwarves are extremely unlikely because they've done a reskin of dwarves and blood elves already. \r
\r
"Undead elves" could be a variety of classes. Sure, the dark rangers, specifically, are assassins (as you say, rogue\/hunter). But it doesn't mean the new dark rangers (from Darkshore) couldn't be mages, warlocks, warriors, monks, priests, just like the current playable forsaken. Dark rangers are a specific military unit, not a race.\r
\r
Lightforged undead wouldn't make any less sense than void elves. The only "clue" to void elves was Alleria, and that was just a five seconds shot in a cinematic. No model in game, no explanation, no clue that other people could experience the same transformation. Lightforged undead? We witnessed the transformation of Calia Menethil in the book, and 8.1 just casually namedrops her. Also, regarding her status as leader of the forsaken .... Definitely not happening. First of, because Calia Menethil very clearly sides with the Alliance. And considering Anduin is the one who resurrects her, I don't think she'd just go "Oh well sorry dude but I'm with the Horde now see you on the battlefield !". Second point, most forsaken are willingly following Sylvanas. And I don't think they would be glad the replacement is a peace-loving human, especially when you consider she's the sister of Arthas, the one to curse them in the first place. In the book, it was only a small group of undead who wanted to make peace with the living. A group that, by coincidence I'm sure, are buried right at the frontier of Alliance territory, in Arathi, just waiting to be resurrected by Calia and join their families in the Alliance. But it's just a coincidence, I'm sure.\r
\r
But most importantly, the reason I think Lightforged undead and Undead night elves are a real possibility, is precisely because they're both being teased at the same moment. One did not appear in 4.3 and the other in 7.1, they both appear in 8.1. Visually, for the night elves, and by a namedrop for Calia. Both sides of the same coin. Two undead races. A reskin of a Horde race for the Alliance, and a reskin of an Alliance race for the Horde. Two races that don't have any variant right now, and that would be added right after a warfront between the Forsaken and the Night elves is introduced. I'm not claiming it's a guaranteed thing ... I'm just saying those coincidences are starting to pile up. Comment by Poofieball Dont get all that classic hype. Comment by Wepstar About DarkRangers. Currently we have:\r
3 plate classes, 4 leather classes, 3 cloth classes. \r
\r
And only 2 mail classes. So DarkRangers will be mail. Something like Hunters but without a pet.
