Do you think that Ogres will ever be added to the game?

If they want to lure people back then I would guess yes.

I distinctly remember them being only a bit taller than Orcs and a google search confirmed it 6-8ft on average with some outliers being taller.
Tauren were 10-12ft.

WoW Taurens got shrunken down considerably from their RTS counterparts and Ogre NPCs generally got bigger than they should be.
Kul’Tiran are are about the size Ogres should be and all the rigging is there.

the end of your sentence should be reading “playable Murlocs.”

8feet is the average height once they reach adulthood but they continue to grow up. The ogre height is between 8 and 25 feet with many larger ogre being at a average of 15feet.

The 6-7 feet ogre are just the smaller. So no Kul’Tiran aren’t Ogre size and tauren average is still smaller than Ogre.

65

Kul Tiran are around 8 ft tall give or take.
It would stand to reason that playable Ogres would be around that height.
After all, player characters start out as young and/or inexperienced adventurers.
If Tauren can take a massive hit to their size for gameplay, Ogres can too.
If you’re expecting 15ft tall Ogres that’s the same as saying you never want them to be playable imo :man_shrugging:

To me the argument that ogres can’t be playable cause of height is a very bad one. Especially when considering kultirans and taurens.

If you’re expecting 15ft tall Ogres that’s the same as saying you never want them to be playable imo :man_shrugging:

yes and lets also not forget that may races which we have playable now have bigger variations of them in lore, but those aren’t the ones used.

Oh, you mean the horde which has been overwhelmingly dominant since the games inception?

This game surely needs another ugly and low player use race. Ogres will satisfy the .5-1% of the player base and would be otherwise unused. A vocal minority isn’t going to get them to waste the time on them when there are re-skins of existing races that would be more popular anyways.

Not to mention the fact that if you want to play a hideous character then your better off playing an Elder Scrolls game. Or any Bethesda game for that matter.

It’s sad that such a iconic Horde race is still not playable to this day :frowning:

But you keep taking the smaller ogre as the reference. Tauren took only ONE feet as a hit. I am not asking for the 15 feet tall ogre but i don’t want the small 9 feet tall either. 12 or 13 feet would be good enough even more considering that many people expect them to be add along alliance Vry’kul who also can’t be shrunk to 9 feet tall.

The thing is that palayble KT are even taller than the average and the tauren are only one feet taller.

And its more about the representation that we always had. People always wanted the tall big ogre race. Not the shrunked version.

Well blizzard has broken precedents before. It could happen.

72

Well, it be hard to be more incorrect than your are with this statement.

The horde have not always been overwhelmingly dominant…and most of them don’t play monster races.

It’s hard to find current statistics, but somewhere around 60% of all horde toons are Blood elves

73

Much like statistics on the internet, which are made up 60% of the time.

It’s from last year…but more reliable than the “because I said so” that you are using to back your argument

None of the blood elves believe me when I tell them the reason belf customization was sub par: blizzard don’t want to encourage the belf problem.

Its also why blood elf will never get shaman or druid. The horde would be dead and gone in representation if they did.

76

So that why night elf and even human got so much customisation compare to worgen?

77

Probably if sales dip down hard enough, you’ll buy them in the cash shop.

Naga should be playable same for Ogres.

People wanted mechagnomes for many years…then they instead give us these half flesh cyborg things. A proper fully robotic mechagnome should have been in the options.

The flagon of mead toy would be a great size for a playable Vrykul, just use the same size for a playable ogre. You’re still taller than most other races. Vrykul still towers above others.

There are no “spots”. Nothing to waste.

Could be doable. All the animations are there as well, might need a little tweaking of some. They use the male kultiran rig. Give them a new dance and you’d be good to go.

The maldraxxi gladiators would be good options as well. The male already uses a modified ogre rig, and the female uses the female kultiran.

Could go for the modified ogre rig and the male kul tiran rig for the females too!

I would have been happier if we would had recieved Oggres instead of vulpera, and even mag’ar orcs.

I’ve wanted them to be added for a long time and I haven’t gotten ogre it yet.
