Allied Races: who comes next?

We’re not getting ogres. They’ve said before that it’s because they can’t design ogre women. And if they’re saying they can’t make female ogres good enough, you know it’s bad-- this is the company that gave us draenei after all.

I’d say nobody wants to play an ugly woman, but then I remember Female Kul Tirans exist.

Which is completely ridiculous, because there’s a female ogre in the Traveler books. She’s in an illustration. Guess what, Blizz? Not hideous.

I’d assume something similar to a Vaskan.

mok’nathal, ogres, wildhammers, quel’dorei

ethereal and naga

Say it with me.

And don’t give me the poopy flightless cursed kind, I need to live my full glorious high arakkoa self and float over the lesser races.

More than new races, I’d like alternative skin tones for existing characters for say, non-Bilgewater Goblins or Revantusk Trolls. Along with a new optional starting points for said basic variations on core races. Like Ratchet for Goblins and Revantusk Village. Apply to other team blue examples I cannot think of off the top of my head.

Far as new races, Ethereal have always to me made sense as a new neutral race. They work for who pays the most, fits with has been established Ethereal would conduct themselves.

Given the difficulties creating customization options for a race that has no face/skin/hair, do you think Ethereals restored to a corporeal K’areshi form by some plot magic would be cool? Or is being ghost mummies core to their appeal?

Based on past design philosophy, they’ll be an offshoot of pre-Sundering Elves that dabbled in Shadow Magic and were banished to the Shadowlands by Azshara. They have since become dependent on the Soulwell to empower and sustain their existence. And there is a dark secret at the heart of their mighty, soul-spanning empire.

We end up fighting their leader as a mid-tier Raid Boss.

Hi, I hate this. Thanks!

Imo, obviously, definitely a large part of the appeal. Not to mention… Mechagnomes.

Aqua-goblins for the Horde. Another elf race for the Alliance.

Ethereals, naga, vrykul. Take back mechagnomes and change offshoots of already established races. Present them as sub races, a mandatory part of character creation that determines some or all of your racial abilities. Also loosen the class restrictions and finish the races you’ve already released (I’m looking at you Nightborne).

But it doesn’t end with “dorei” so it can’t be.

Probably a long forgotten Tauren off shoot.

Stimp’dorei to work alongside the Ren’dorei.

Oh I forgot ogres. Put ogres in. Take back mechagnomes.

Seriously Blizzard you break the cardinal gear display rule not for naga but for diaper babies.

Wait really?! So they admit they have some of the worst sexual dimorphism for there characters in video games?

Lol its really too hard for Blizzard to make anything other then:
Male: He-man
Female: Barbie

It’s just an excuse not to have Ogres… if they can make Kul Tirans and Vrykul in the female form, then they can make Ogre females. I think it’s because Blizz can’t figure out how to make pretty Ogres.
