Just out of curiosity.
which races are the most probable to be an allied race next expansion? Do you think dragonflight will add an allied race?

Pretty sure they said no Allied races are planned.

Did they?
thats sad to hear.
where did they say that?

The exact wording is at launch.

There may be a chance of one. But not at the release.

I think rather than do allied races, they need to do more customization over hauls first. The sheer amount of options the Dracthyr got really puts the rest of the playable races to shame. I’d like for them to focus on the base races and current allied races first.

Well, it’s unfair to pair any other race to vs. Their options then worgen since they have 2 forms. Which btw worgen get’s pretty close to them.

But yeah it would be nice to have more options. But i also think they have the budget to do both.

I’d like to see one for the forsaken. As well as Vrykul Allied race for Alliance. Give Alliance Murlocs.

I’m honestly talking strictly Dracthyr form, not even considering Visage form. Dracthyr have more options than any other race without their secondary form, and I’d like that for the rest of the races as well. And more than just jewelry options like we got for a lot of current races; I’d like the body shape options, I’d the two toned body colors for other animal races, or more eye colors in general.

Adding in the Visage form only worsens the difference between customizable options.

I refer to that as model toggles.

And i think some races could go further then just body shapes. Like forsaken having different undead races and lightforged recruiting other races into it’s ranks and lightforging them (dwarves, humans, high elves, etc)

Also skinny humans would be nice.

Big this. I’ve wanted different Forsaken races in general for ages. I understand that Forsaken are still technically Lordaeron citizens, but that wouldn’t be hard to change.

But yeah, there are a lot of options in general for customization that I think Blizzard should go ham on. Dracthyr show that they can provide loads of options; I’d love that for every race.

Close, but they lack the orc muscle eye brows that Vrykul have (although Vrykul also have just regular eyebrows on top of those muscle eyebrows, like Thrall).

I think the change of model names is a step in that direction. They just need to go abd make the next step with that.

I honestly hope one day i can play as a lightforged human, and see dark ranger night elves and undead dwarves with the forsaken.

I still want proper Drakkari size body options for my Troll DK, and honestly I’d kill for a Gilgoblin to be playable, down to the fins. There are so many opportunities for amazing customization options.

Indeed, they could give hmt and tuaren yaungol/taunka options too.

Orcs can get fel orc looks with spikes even

i can full agree that base races deserve more attention.
both can be accomplished by a multi billion dollar company tho right?

This is the company who said customization was a large part of Shadowlands and then swiftly decided we wouldn’t get anything else. They also said the SELFIE can patch was one of their biggest patches to date at the time. I don’t think they’re very good at managing time or work. :stuck_out_tongue:

covid kinda gives them a valid excuse.

The selfie cam really was a pile of mess.

Or, you know, the lawsuit revealing they’ve been goofing off at work for years?
