Allied Race Idea: Arakkoa 🐦

If they DID listen to the Horde, then they would have made Warcraft 4 instead of continuing with these OC BS shenanigans!

Yet here we are! Guess they don’t listen to their players unless their names are Ion Hazzikostas or Chris Metzen.

I hate to say this, but I think he is right.

They do not listen to their players if they give direct feedback – not unless something happens to their controlling stocks, at least.

Even this is crazy because there has been megathreads for Snakey bois and High Elves.

high elves would have got a lot of attention… mechagnomes… are just… ugh

Sorry, but they will not give players High Elves because as far as Blizzard are concerned, High Elves are already playable.

Looks like there might be a shot after all for Arakkoa.

The cunning ones kneel before six masters, but serve only one.

Either this is referring to the Sylvanas loyalists… Or somebody’s in 9.0 that shouldn’t be there. :bird:

I believe that is referring to the Sylvanas Loyalists as you mentioned before.

Don’t give up hope and faith folks. Keep the Dream alive for playable Arakkoa, San’layn, High Elves, Sethrak, and etc.

Congratz to these who finally have playable Vulpera. 100% More Power to you folks since you deserve it. I hope with my 4 cents the Allied Races I just mentioned will get playable. Until then Take Care. I got some Worgen Leveling and Vulpera to be ready for.

Agreed.

And with ActiBlizz scrupulously using ALL the Core Race rigs for the ARs, we have a chance at at least ONE form of Arakkoa; The Cursed Arakkoa.

All it would take is a remodel and an animation rejiggering to repeat their animations, and before you know it – BOOM!

PC Arakkoa.

It will be difficult, but at least I can try.

Although things do seem to be lining up a lot more than usual…

Shoot, we could get the High Arakkoa. Its basically the Zandalari Troll Balance Druid rig.

Personally I want those folks way more than the corrupted ones.

That’s actually WHERE the Zanda Boomkin rigs came from.

The only problem is the lore element. So far, the story’s pushing AGAINST the High Arakkoa and FOR the Low Arakkoa.

The High Arakkoa have the easiest model to work with, while the lore just doesn’t make them seem AS likely.

The Low Arakkoa have the easiest lore (thanks to the Shadowlands leaks), yet their models/rigs are the most difficult to work with.

I don’t care either way, but we have a 50/50 split on exactly WHICH form(s) should be in the game, so I opted to include both in my OP.

Yes both would be excellent in my opinion. Sort of like a MG idea.

MG idea? I am a little lost… Could you explain it for me, please?

I can believe that, but then we have the sudden Mogu faction in 8.3 to contend with…

… Wait, what?

Sorry, Mah’gar clans! And hunchback versus straight up orcs.

Oh, the Mag’har Orcs. That explains it.

Perhaps, but what would be the justification for a system like that?

I’m sorry – I’m still tripping over the fact that there’s a faction of FRIENDLY Mogu in 8.3…

I guess it would be a good idea, but I’d much rather have an in-game method of swapping whatever form you take, personally.

Fair enough! And yes that’s news to me as well.

Apparently, they have some kind of connection to Wrathion. What that is, I cannot decipher since none of the quests are available as of yet, but they are clearly followers of Ra-den.
