17 years, no ogres on the Horde

dragonkin and living corn races for tinker plz

I mean they are still part of the Horde. They’re a Horde race and they’re on Azeroth, so it’s not like they don’t exist. They’ve probably got comparable numbers to the void elves, so like, at least there’s that. Plus there’s Ogres from Outland as well.

i get that it makes sense but also nobody likes the moonkin form so why would people like playable ogres?

Ogres blow Moonkins out of the water bro they’re awesome.

Ogres are not a small project. Those models are entirely separate rigs that have to be rebuilt to playable levels. And it’s a lot of work to do. Vulpera were easier because they just reused the goblin rigs. Plus ogres would also need significant story development too so that’s quests, heritage armor, a starting zone and even more they have to do. Female models don’t even exist.

Hard to work that in when other projects usually demand their attention or other races are way more relevant. Ogres almost happened with Cataclysm, but they changed their minds to goblins instead.

Tinkers have been talked about a lot lately as the next potential class in 10.0. There is absolutely no basis behind it. It’s not true, it’s not happening. People are just weirdly fixated on that idea. :zipper_mouth_face:

I think because players are kind of unimaginative. Tinker and necromancer seems to be the only ideas people have. But I think Blizz can be more creative.

lore wise, weren’t 2 headed ogres created that way by magic? They could just simply make it so the player controlled ogre’s all had 1 head. Maybe sometime down the line they could add the two headed option when they figure it out. Idk, since they added kultiran’s I feel like ogre’s is entriley doable. They could even make it a male only race if they wanted to. Or, they could design female ogres, and redesign all ogres, and insert the females into the game going back to vanilla.

Well besides from a design standpoint, I think it’s also on fault of Blizzard of wanting to introduce a new race that would also be relevant to the story.

IE: Allied Races, they are recruited due to the war that is their “lore” reasoning behind them. Some have more then that, but overall thats it.

I don’t think Blizzard wants to just add Ogres, without them being relevant at the time. But that’s just me guessing.

I honestly don’t remember which expansions it were. All I know is they did try again back in Cata.

rat people. difference.

We already have orcs and Maghar.

Ogres fit a different umbrella

Don’t take that the wrong way, i’d take Ogre all day. Just saying if Ogre isn’t possible due to game limitations then Mok’nathal would be a nice middle ground

It’s a shame that so much time has gone by and not only do we not have playable Horde Ogres (allegedly considered at vanilla’s launch, Cataclysm, and rumors of WoD as a possibility), but despite having three clans within the Horde, they seem to be completely forgotten and not utilized at all. Having the Horde Ogre clans completely miss the war in BfA is a complete travesty and frustrating to see. Despite all that, I’m hoping we’ll see playable Horde Ogres someday, and feel like there is a chance of that still happening…at least at present.

By the way, if any of you Ogre fans are interested in seeing ideas, concepts, all sorts of info on the Horde Ogre clans, and fan discussion and support for playable Horde Ogres, please check out the Stonemaul Ogre megathread here:

Dream big, Ogre fans! :cut_of_meat::japanese_ogre:

Game limitation argument really never made sense.

The alliance got Ogres though. Kul’tirans are basically shaped the same lol

I :heart: you

LOL no they can’t. Did you even see 9.2 trailer?

With SL’s updates to the character creator, and the transmog changes that allow for a more adjustable interface, I think they’ve solved most of the challenges Ogres would give them.

I’ll tag you next year cause you’re wrong.

Your either being willfully ignorant or not paying attention. :laughing:

Less so than ogres.

How so? We have zero information on the next expansion. No one can claim anything on what’s going to happen

And there are no signs of a mechanic class going to be a thing right now. :sweat_smile:
