PvP Mercenary Mode - Alliance be saved.

Patch 6.2.1 PTR Patch Notes - World of Warcraft

"Players will be able to act as a mercenary for the opposite faction in PvP whenever your faction is experiencing a long wait time to get into Ashran or unrated Battlegrounds. Agents of the enemy faction will appear in your base in Ashran (Stormshield for the Alliance, Warspear for the Horde) and allow you to enter Ashran or Battlegrounds disguised as an enemy player, and actually fight as the opposite faction.

While competing as a mercenary, players will automatically have their race changed into one appropriate for the opposite faction. Players will still be able to earn all the same rewards as winning or losing as their original faction (with the exception of faction-specific achievements)."

That is amazing news for 19s!

No confirmation if it's endgame only or not, hopefully twinks can use it too!

I hope this works for 19s!

Wonder if races will be a 1 to 1 correspondence, that is, will a human always translate to undead or whatever. This is exciting, hope it's not just for 100s.

Yeah, that looks about right, except dwarves, gnomes, and undead can't be druids, and whatnot. Wonder how that will work out.

Can you get to the faction hubs on Ashran without being 90? The notes state that each factions NPCs will be located there.

Is it clear if racials will be switched around too? Or is this just going to be a cosmetic thing like we see in several Private Servers?

You can run in for a good 10 seconds before you get kicked out and put in queue (if you are level 100). Maybe with speed boosts you could make it there for whatever you need

No, those masks aren't a thing, that's just what the NPC looks like you need to talk to.
