Instead of Crystals and heavy armor. I was thinking of the Original Concept Art Armor for the Draenei like these:

Honestly it looks pretty freaking cool. I would love to see a Storyline of seeing the Draenei people come together as one in terms of the Broken Draenei on Outlands, Lightforged Draenei, Original Draenei from Argus, and etc as one kind of like the Protoss in Starcraft while going throughout a epic story of their legacy, their past, and even going to a bright future.
I think that would be awesome to see.

This art, the art for the blood elves, and the one art piece with the blood elf paladin/draenei mage are what got me into WoW when I started playing in BC.
I do wish we had more casual looking sets with unique designs. The green sets and quest/dungeon sets are nice sometimes, but depending on an expansions theme can be downright trash.
Something less grandiose and something more cultural and “I could wear that” would be nice for a draenei heritage set.

Not having the last 8 heritage armors really bugs me. I’m holding on to 4 Alliance toons because of this. It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It’s been weird for me that they just randomly come out, like someone is just working on them in their free time.

I would buy an expansion purely for a nice library of casual/generic mix-and-match appearances, no joke.

I’ve had this hanging on my wall for years:
Got it from some random cheap WoW art print pack I found at Barnes & Noble lol
Concept art for this series has always been fantastic.
I honestly don’t think we’ll see them.
Its not odd for Blizzard to say they’re working on something and then just let it fall through the cracks in place of focusing on things like end game and system repair.
I do hope though… a bit… I try.

I used to work in a bookstore, it was my second job, and they had the WoW TGC art book and I’d waste too much time looking at it. That is one of my favorite Blood Elf art pieces. (It isn’t TCG art but still)
I do agree that WoW has some of the best concept art.

Great look but I don’t think alliance draenei are going to get that look
Based on the awesome art, and how none of the in game dreani sport that look make me firmly believe draenei we’re headed for the horde till the last minute. If draenei had ended up on horde I bet that’s how they would have looked
That lame artstation concept art that keeps getting reposted everywhere is so ugly.
not a single crystal visible on that armor anywhere. come on.
It’s better than crystal all the time. So far the Draenei Armor is Crystal, Crystal, and more Crystal than just something unique.
Ya because crystals are kinda the Draenei’s thing. That’s their big thematic lore concept. They use crystals for everything. Their society is built around magical crystals. Their racial bonus is making crystals (gems).
If you don’t like crystals, why the hell are you playing Draenei?
And there is no “draenei armor” yet because that’s literally what heritage sets are for. To make a thematic and culturally relevant armor set with a lengthy quest line to show the player the heritage of that race.
If you want a Draenei heritage armor, it should convey their crystal-powered society and their history which is full of crystals and their racial bonus of jewelcrafting.
If you want a primitive basic ugly robe transmog, go slap one together with the transmogs already out there.
I mean for the most part. Most people would love to see something unique for the Draenei. Like if we had gotten the Exarch Outfits as a Cosmetic Armor instead of a toy. I think that would be nice to see.
So far the only Draenei Armor is mostly crystal based unless if your a plate or cloth wearer since classes like Mages, Priests, and Paladins gets aload of Draenei S Armor.
I just think something for the Draenei would be nice to see. So far the Concept Art would be great to have for the Draenei Race.
The thing about that Draenei concept art is that it’s, well, basically Azuremyst Isle Draenei. Every other time Draenei get focused on, it’s more “normal” Draenei. In that, it’s hyper magic-techy and/or hyper light-centric.
The concept art and general vibe of Azuremyst is more preferable to me than all of that nonsense, but we’re way past the point of sticking with that aesthetic, unfortunately.
You mean the zone with massive crystals bursting out of the ground everywhere? The zone with the GIANT SPACESHIP MADE OUT OF MAGICAL CRYSTALS?
Come on you don’t even have a leg to stand on here. It’s just a basic robe outfit it doesn’t convey anything about draenei or their heritage at all.
If you want the other heritage armors, you must demand them constantly. It should be like the High Elf threads. Otherwise, nothing will happen.
