Is that a gnome DK wtf?Dont recall gnomes ever having pallies.
No such thing as luck, just believing in it is what makes it real to you and really...thats all you need.
Im on nobodies' side but my own.
Any race can be a death knight.
If you're thinking along the lines of "you have to have a paladin to create a death knight... your paladin goes evul!!1" that's wrong. To create a death knight you just need a character level 55 or above, then you are eligible to create one death knight per server on any server.

So If i lvl my night elf hunter to 55 I can magically turn him into a DK? whats the 56k beware title for?
Just thought that a Deathknight was a pally gone bad which only humans dwarves and Blood elves can be so it would make a little more sense.

Blizzard makes lore up as they go. That is for the bezt ofcourse!!!111 Or so says the fanbois.
Last I heard about Deathknights
You can create one per server. When you create you DK you can pick any race/sex available, no restrictions. The DK starts out at level 55. You do not need to convert any other character into a deathknight, but I ->THINK<- you have to have at least one character on your account that is level 55 or higher?
I will leave the lore behind death knights to someone who is more familiar with it as I have never played the single player warcraft games.

Hehe your gnome death knight looks great! I'm most likely going to be making a gnome DK myself, so its great to see how they look so far.
Also, just to clear something up about DK creation. You don't "turn" an existing character into a DK, you simply make a completely new character who is a DK. In order to make a DK in the first place, you have to have another character who is already level 55 or above.
Great, little squirts running around finally being powerful because they're Death Knights.
BLIZZ WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well. Nice pics but nothing new, except for the giant flesh thing.
--------------------------------------
A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

As for the 56k thing, the images were extremely large, I had to cut them down by 75% to make it decent view on the thread. The 56k beware was because on 56k, the images I had up...it would take forever to load them all.
As for making a DK. I have no idea if you "MUST" have a 55 to make one...Because I have several 70s and already had one copied prior to making my DK. However, all you do is make a new character and select DK. Any race and sex can become one. Only one per account. And we start out at level 55, WITH NO TALENTS. Each quest gives us talents. By the time we finish the newb DK zone, we come out with 48 talents. Thats what, 1 more than a normal char?
And nothing new? Well, IDK if they are new or not. I'm just posting screens from what I've seen thus far
.
As for being a gnome...>:). I mean cmon, a gnome DK is just...evil. I was torn between a Gnome, or a female draeni....both look wicked lol.
The Flesh Behemoth thing is huge....im at the very bottom of the image on my horse lol....
Its really hard to tell because of how much I took the images down, but the 2nd to last pic, I think, the mob chasing me is named "Lunch Box" lol.
You guys like my WMD (Wep mass destruct) White/Blue cube? It pwns.
Thanks for the pics.. any chnace of posting some picks with the new shadow system turned on?
The WotLK graphics engine will have support for high-resolution, detailed shadows.
To enable these, use the following command: /console extShadowQuality [0-6]
The console echoes the following message when you change the setting:
extShadowQuality 0 [LOWEST] Precomputed terrain and blob PC/NPC shadows.
extShadowQuality 1 [LOW] Precomputed terrain and dynamic PC/NPC shadows.
extShadowQuality 2 [MEDIUM] Full environmental and PC/NPC shadows, low-res, med-dist.
extShadowQuality 3 [MED-HIGH] Full environmental and PC/NPC shadows, low-res, lg-dist.
extShadowQuality 4 [HIGH] Full environmental and PC/NPC shadows, hi-res, lg-dist.
extShadowQuality 5 [VERY HIGH] Full environmental and PC/NPC shadows, hi-res, lg-dist, dynamic shadows to the horizon.
extShadowQuality 6 [ULTRA] Full environmental and PC/NPC shadows, hi-res, lg-dist, translucent shadows, soft shadows.
World of DeathKnights here we come! =S

Sure! How about a video? Its uploading, and should be done within 20 minutes. My upload speed sucks. Its a short 3 minute video, its roughly 100mb download. But its high quality w/sound, 800x600.
Would better suit the shadows question than just screens.
I have my shadows set to 6. The devs don't want us to use it because they think it will blow our machines up lol. They say its for "Extreme testing and only be used by users with high end computers" rofl. I have a well build quad so I tested my luck, and well, you'll see the performance in the video =P.

People make that assumption because of WC3, as Paladins and Deathknights seemed to be polar opposites. While it makes sense, think of it in this way.
Paladins were the champions of the Light, they stood for all that was holy and good in Azeroth. Beacons of hope. Famous paladins would include Uther Lightbringer, Arthas, and Highlord Mograine, aka "The Ashrbinger".
Deathknights where the opposite, they were the best of the best, champions of the scourge, who spread corruption wherever they walk. Famous ones would be the Four Horsemen, and Arthas, from the moment after he slayed his father to just before he became the body of the new Lich King.
Now, it would seem paladins were the only ones susceptible to being corrupted into being a deathknight, but that is untrue. One of the first Deathknights was Teron Gorefiend, an acolyte of Gul'dan, not a paladin. Deathknights were made by instilling the spirits into the dead corpses of knights. It is true though, that paladins seem to be what constitute most modern Deathknights, but they were paladins who lost touch with the light, and pledged themselves to darkness for power. In fact, anyone who caves into the darkness in search of power is a candidate in becoming part of the Lich king's army, yet only the powerful were turned into a deathknight.
you need to be at least 55 to unlock the class. Here is a spoiler alert though.
~SPOILERS ON Deathknight!~
( When you create a deathknight, you were just recently slain and rose to be one, under the control of the lich king. It is through the beginning quests that you break free of that control and begin your dark crusade towards Northrend, starting in the plaguelands. )

EXTREME TESTING ROFL! Although It may just be they dont want some to use it because its new and buggy and may caush crashes.
But I really dont see whats so great about the shadows they look exactly the same...

The Death Knight seems kinda cool, but i can just imagine it now. Orgrimmar/Stormwind full of these Death Knight 12 year olds calling everyone who isn't a Death Knight a "noob". I think they need to release a few more Hero Classes with the Death Knight or very soon after release because the balance is going to be terrible, everyone will want to be a Death Knight because its the new thing... I can see this causing problems and so could my old servers, Sunstrider PvP EU, Nordrassil PvE EU. Fingers crossed the game will carry on for a long time, I've had a lot of good times in this game, my first taste of PvP

yes everybody will role a deathknight when lichking starts, if they can, but not everyone will like it. One, its restricted for every account one per server. Two, it wont be for everyone. Some people will roll several warrior toons, just because they like the class. Others have bunch of alts, trying to figure out which they like best. So yes while everyone will have a deathknight, it in no way means thats all you'll see ingame. Third, people do have other toons, probably higher leveled, to level up to 80.
Think before you assume, thats why its limited to one per account per realm, thats why its designed as just a tank/melee dps role. Yes there will be a flood at the start, but it will even out, just like anything.

Shadows before wotlk where just blob shadows and the world had 1 big lightmap for a shadow.. new dynamic shadows mean well you saw the chaarcrter shadows, the world shadows will change depending on the time of day also this video shows world shadows moving in real time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfwR7MiIhHo
Hey Jatobi. thanks thanks for the video.. any chnage of grabing a hi-res video of moving shadows?
Sure, I'll go to Duskwood and get a creepy windmill

I agree with most of this, but the DK is massively overpowered apparently by the people who have had the chance to play them so everyone will like it, its rare to see anyone who doesn't like to be the guy who is overpowered
. Yeah, this could all change, but i doubt it will change that much. But in my opinion you will see more DK than hunters in this new xpack. Thats why i think it would be better for them to introduce more hero classes so the DK isn't all you see. As for it evening out, of course it will, but not for a very, very long time.
A positive though from all these DKs is that you will have more tanks, but from my experience the game is having a dps overload, struggle to find healers/tanks on most servers, no doubt people will just go down the dps road. Hopefully blizzard will make it more fun to tank and a bit less boring for the healers.
Was looking forward to the Bard class was it??? Now that looked fun
