I don’t even see ogres coming in 10.0 because I don’t know how’d they introduce Naga and Ogres but the new class being tinker that’s exclusive to Goblins, Gnomes, Vulpera and Mechagnomes.
I think Nagas are a given for the alliance not only because Azshara V. Tyrande/Malfurion banter will make the alliance interesting but mecha gnomes show we can get races without pants.
Why do people keep mentioning Tinker being a new class? Was this said somewhere I didn’t see? I know people have wanted them but I have yet to see them mentioned by Blizz.
Ogres would have been the Horde race in Cata but they couldn’t figure out how to make female Ogres. Like they would be too ugly or unappealing to play as. Plus the multiple head thing, etc.
It was just really complicated and Goblin was an easier solution.
I would be curious on why they chose not to add Ogres, couldn’t fit them into the plotline? Because it’s been confirmed they’ve tried to add them… what? Twice now?
Once back in Cata before the Goblins, and again I think in Draenor.
If they released dragonkin it’d HAVE to be like pandas. Otherwise everyone and their mother would wanna be one barring they have a bad class selection.
It was literally because they couldn’t figure out how to do the two heads and female ogres. That’s why to this day, there has not been a single female ogre in game.
It’s probably more of the two heads thing then anything else.
There are plenty of designs floating around the internet and even in official Warcraft related things that have Female Ogre concepts that Blizzard could easily use.
Would have loved Ogres but I think the major problem was doorway issues, if they were introduced they’d have to be made shorter, and that’d look terrible.
I wish they’d give us Mok’nathal at least with Rexxar model, meet us halfway.
Could give Orcs a body model option between Pure Orcs or Half-Orcs.
Or if they have the technology to do this, give Ogres the technology to “duck their head” down when going through small doorways
It still doesn’t explain why they have yet to ever put one in, one head or otherwise. I really think it’s a design thing. They’ve gone almost 20 years without showing us one outside maybe some rough concept art.
I mean I suppose Draenor was the last real plot setting that had Ogres in it. And if I remember correctly, that was the last known attempt that they tried to Ogres as a race before deciding on the overhaul / update of the all OG races. I think… (Unsure on some of this, don’t take it as concrete.)
