Light and Dark elementals are fan names. The names are just placeholders till we got the confirmation about these creatures and oficial names. No one is saying that light and dark elementals are the actual names of these creatures, or that the light el. actually exists. We are talking about possibilities.
Cepheus said the two look alike, but that doesn't necessarily means that they're equal, or we can't distinguish them. However if we get a 3rd glory (remember that the base and upgrade glories have different colors, but a light elemental will certainly be yellow just like the glory, if it exists and it isn't glory) probably it would be too simillar to glory and have the same role in battle.

Six elementals are more than enough, why would you want a sad excuse of another elemental masquerading as one of the most elegant and iconic creatures to ever grace the series with their presence? The phoenix is phoenix, good lord

Oh please guys it's quite obvious she's jealous. If there ever was a redhaired menace in H6 she obviously wanted it to be her. I mean just look at her obviously she's trying to let Ubi employes who read the forums know that she easily qualifies for the Ashan Bestiary. But now some other hot red head has taken her place... put yourself in her place that must be devastating.

Because some of those things you name describe a very specific group of things or individuals. "Lorelei" do you even know what the Lorelei was? If you do then you should see that calling a creature that makes about as much sense as putting a fire out with gun that shoots kerosine. But I understand your point there are other names out there that are a bit "fresher" a bit more exotic but I guess they'd rather play it safe. Then again they're calling an Orthus Ceberus... I'll request a mod for that once the game comes out lol.
But really it's not entirely as bad as you make it out to be. Mermaids don't all have to be fun loving cute little princess that can sing beautiful songs... read One Piece if you don't believe me.

Quote: Is it possible that the creature(on the christmas tree) that looked like the glory but was brighter be the light elemental
Let's pray its not, too much cheapness.
I am afraid it is. look at the Christmas Tree.
my point is look at 1<-->13 and 5<-->11
Is there any reason why all creatures on the tree only have 1 version (Either Upgraded and Unupgraded) but in case of River Spirit, it has two? and the 2 ridiculous similar look of Glory and unknown (11). My prediction said (1) is different creature to (13) and vice versa for (5) & (11). Yup my feeling tells me that Light Elemental is re-skinned Glory and Water Elemental IS re-skinned River Spirit.
I do hope I am wrong, but my feeling tells otherwise.

Yes 1, 13 and 5, 11 look similar.....but I wouldn't go too much with this Christmas tree, the Naga "chicks" in this are from the leaked artwork, which are not the proper ones and could be different from the final result.
Let's wait until Naga artworks get released...then compare...

Quote: D&D rots my brain? Sirens are actually called Sirine in D&D and they actually look horrible humanoids with legs and blue skin that can sing... not really the Siren I had in mind.
So what you are actually referring to is the Nagas from Warcraft 3?
There they have a "mermaid unit" called Siren. I know you, and I know that you at hearth love Warcraft 3.
if the number 11 in the picture is supposed to be the Light elemental then I'm seriously pissed. I mean did they really need to make both the elemental and the Glory female?
Talk about making things similar...
(If that is the case that is...)

The christmas tree doesn´t say much. Although the top most picture of the river spirit is different from the leaked naga artwork. It didn´t have the golden jewelry, now, the water elemental in the german video had the face with the golden crown but the in game model didn´t and looked more like the un upgraded one seen on the christmas tree. To me that means that although it was called water elemental in the video it might just be placeholders to keep us wondering. I don´t think they would be so damn lazy that they wouldn´t place the golden details on the in game model if it was shown on the face. The water elemental will probably NOT look like the naga unit and vice versa.
Also, the two faces that looks like the glories don´t tell us much either. Remember that the face of the sister ended up looking a lot different in game then it did in the artwork.
It´s all still alpha version screenshots and videos so much can happen. I wouldn´t like it if they made a copy/paste version of the neutral elementals from the glory and river spirit but frankly i don´t think they will, given how much effort they have put into details so far.

yeah, I hope so too. It will be an epic fail to have 2 similar creatures re-skinned and call them different. Especially how they worked hard on the details up to now.

does the unknown creature (no. 11) on the tree appear anywhere else on screenshots and leaked artwork except this tree? that would give more info.
in any case i believe that the spring/river spirit is still in the game like elvin and cepheus has been saying but dont think they look/play the same...goes for the light elemental/glory as well. that would be if it does and surely ubihole wont do that to us....

For what it is worth you can now preorder Heroes VI on Amazon which has it listed as May 10th, 2011 as the release date. So, we might be getting closer

amazon.co.uk has it listed as 18th of March...
Doubt it is accurate, but gets you thinking, doesn't it?
play.com has it, however, as 27th of May
Gotta love the confusion

As long as Ubisoft hasn't set an official date (other than Spring 2011), it's anyone's guess.
Though since a closed beta has been announced (without dates), the game is very unlikely to be released in March. Beginning May to Mid-June is a safer window (if they still aim for a spring release) if you count 1-2 month of beta test (only) + 1-2 week of (intensive) bug-fixing + 2 weeks of gold status

Unless somebody invents a time stasis device, March is not going to happen. I doubt if May is going to happen, but a person can dream. Earliest will probably be the last month of spring..if we are lucky.

Is a closed beta something that we can sign up for? or is it closed as in internal and wip members?

Closed Beta is usually invitation only. Ie they contact the people who they want to test it, not the other way around. Sometimes after closed, they will have an open Beta.
