so with all the different races there MUST be heritage related weapons like irl. different cultures had different weapons they’d use for w.e. reasons. of course you’d have to make different varients of weapons like bows, guns, staves, etc…
and of course this would be put on the back burner due to heritage armour not even finished for many races yet. But i am wondering about thoughts. do you think this is a good idea?
it will kind of be like what legendaries are but tied to a specific race and class not just class and each race will have different varients. they will only be cosmetics of course. i mean we already have heritage mounts in the sense the races base line mounts are of their own like orcs got the wolves, etc…

Yes it is, and it was stupid from Blizzard to actually model the weapons and not let us have them.

My prediction is that first they’ll tease the remaining heritage armors as a draw for 10.0, and then maybe we’ll get heritage weapons as an “expansion feature” in 11.0. But like heritage armor, they’ll only end up releasing some heritage weapons, and then 12.0 or 13.0 will tease the rest of the heritage weapons.
After all, with the “biggest WoW team ever” we can’t expect them to come up with all of the armor sets or weapons at once, right?
Let’s be honest they can’t even finish heritage armors let alone work on heritage weapons.

its sad but true but im talking about further down the line when they do actually finish the sets. i mean we kinda got something along these lines for those of us who logged in during the movie promotion but they only gave us an axe and a staff for horde and a sword and shield for alliance. both kinda mostly related to human/orc races. staff being guldans staff though

Considering Worgen heritage armour and what they gave us for a mount yeah I think I’m good
I hope they do make heritage weapons down the line as well, it doesn’t make sense to not add them.
There are already several heritage weapons sitting in the files. Nightborne, Velves, and Dark Irons are all set.
tell blizzard to make it happen!
That doesn’t mean those are the ones Blizzard wants you to have.
tauren heritage weapon: 2-handed totem you smack enemies with, like the vanilla-WoW cinematic.
…now i want one…
They HAVE them for Dark Irons, Nightborne, Blood Elves, maybe a few others? They just won’t let US have them. NPCs only fools.
With how they have handled Heritage armor so far, and their 180 on customizations, I don’t have high hopes for this. I mean, for Heritage armor, they needed to consider all four armor types, but none of them really fit all four. For weapons do be done correctly, they would need to look at all weapon types, from crossbows, to 1H swords, to fist weapons, to shields. Again, for it to be done right. Besides, some races already have weapons that fit, from the Outland stuff for Draenei (and some for Blood Elves), the Darkshore Warfront for Night Elves, and some that fit Undead.
For weapons, I feel like the Heritage system might be too limiting, and I would rather just add them to the game for everyone. Why spend art resources on items that will only be used by .8% of the player base (made up number, don’t quote me on this. lol)? So, I agree on themed weapons, just not that they should be locked to a specific race.

My honest opinion is that the Nightborne are the only race that has very specific weapons that were cut off from use.
