Confirmed. Alliance Undead allied race. Does anyone remember the leak in which it said that they would be called the Redemeed and they'd be led by Calia?

I am a bit confused, Aren't forsaken with Sylvanas by their own choice, not by Lich-king'y mindbending? Or it's taking place with recent... "reinforcements"?

Oh please give me a break.  There as been plenty of deceit on the Horde side much of it caused by the Banshee queen.  The book Before the Storm released just prior to Battle for Azeroth completely showed this entire thread.  But the Banshee killed her own "Forsaken" at a meeting in the Arathi Highlands and made it look like the Alliance was the perp.  Like Baine said, There is a sickness within the Horde mostly the Banshee queen.  In the book she basically states her end goal is to make all of the people on Azeroth "Forsaken".  During Legion she was trying to steal the secret of immortality for her Forsaken but Greymane stopped her according to the cut scene but somehow she still has her fingers in the Valkyr.  She will do anything necessary to reach her goal and destroying the Horde from within is no problem to her.

best story in WoW and now they ruined it? I think you missed the parts where she was crazy before. I recommend you the really good podcasts of "lost Codex".  In one of the videos Jesse analyses how she is (spoiler alert) not out of character. Prior to the videos of him i wasnt to much into the story of the horde, and from my perspective it all makes sense now. But please go ahead and see it for yourself, and make your own opinion ?

Really?    The undead situation with the alliance just gets sillier by the expansion.

Marty Mcpriest was a proud soldier of the alliance and believer in the holy light.    Until the day he was killed in battle, then resurrected by the Lich King to be a mindless slave.   Then he was "freed" when Arthas was weakened, and broke free to follow Sylvannas as one of her Forsaken.   

Then, the luckless fellow was killed again by Arthas, and (again!) resurrected by Arthas as a puppet, this time as a powerful Death Knight.     He marched in an assault on the chapel in the plaguelands, and had his mind freed from bondage (again!), this time by Tirion.   

 

But poor Marty Mcpriest still couldn't go back to his human family, because while Tirion interceded with Varian Wrynn to allow the human deathknights back into the alliance, he didn't intercede for the human turned undead into undead(er?) Deathknights, because that would be crazy.  

Now Marty Mcrpriest, after watching the plight of a new fellow forsaken getting rejected by his wife in Kul Tiras, hears that there's a sister of Arthas out there who's recruiting undead for the alliance.   But only light forged ones, whatever the hell that means.

Choice is a very malleable word.

Especially when it's only the appearance of choice.  When all other options are removed from them.  

In actuality, they went from one master to another.  This one insecure in the relationship while on the hunt for the BBD (bigger better deal).

I remember when they said they won't make Sylvannas a Garrosh 2.0.

So what exactly is this then?

For me personally this feels like pretty lazy writing.

It could simply mean she won't be a boss in the final raid. 

She's also not likely to stand trial and reflect on her actions.  While he makes no apologies he was shown to be more than just insane and even more than just evil.  He remained firm in his single-minded commitment to his vision for his own people while actually respecting some of his enemies (unlike Sylvanas, Garrosh holds respect for Anduin based on awareness of who he is and not an ignorant perception of what they'd like to believe he is).

There's no redemption for either of them but the fact that they're both Warchiefs leading their people to ruin is all they have in common, and part of why they have that in common is because of the Horde itself and the fact that neither have personalities or backgrounds that should have made them fit for the job at the time it was given to them.  So in that way it was a fatal error and poor judgement on both the part of Thrall and Vol'Jin as to either of them having the position and you don't need 20/20 hindsight to see that, yeah, coulda seen bad times coming.

But Sylvannas is closer to an Arthas 2.0 or Guldan 2.0 and is both worse and more complicated than a more simplistic villain like Garrosh.

edit: and what I mean by "the Horde itself", well, it is an organization that was formed out of evil.  Simple as that.  It's attempted a reformation since being created as an all-Orc party bent on destruction and bloodshed, but that is its roots.  It was founded in darkness and it should come as no surprise that it is plunged into darkness when its under the leadership of those who have a completely alien concept of what "peace" or even day-to-day existence entails.   How long are the trolls and tauren going to be a part of something that predisposes them pledge allegiance to suffering, murder, enslavement and genocide?

Well there's more similarities than that though.    A fallen hero of the horde going into hiding and leading a rebellion, check.   A warchief who obviously only cares (a very little) about their race's well being and the other horde races be damned?   Check.     Messing with powers anyone with two brain cells should know not to, after they or their father has experience with corrupting, mind controlling powers?    Check.    WIlling to commit atrocities with weapons of mass destruction, on primarily civilian areas?   Check effing plus.

You could go on and on with a thesis about the way both storylines went in the same directions.

Maybe, maybe not.  You could create a similar checklist if they up and decided to make Anduin a villain all of a sudden, and gave him a scenario where he chose genocide.  Doesn't make his story anything but ex post facto "in the same direction".  Unlike Garrosh, however, Sylvanas has been on a long arc to become who she is, and not just someone who rather quickly proved they weren't fit for the job they were given (hell, Garrosh said as much and Thrall didn't listen).

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
