Make Sethrak playable: no more dup races please

I know that Sethrak could be added as a playable race & re-written into the lore to have it make sense.
Adding another duplicate race with some slightly different features; while there is nothing obviously wrong with that, it’s really boring & not as interesting and never will be as interesting as an entirely new race, rather than a sub race.

Naga first, child.

If you want changes in the game, you really should be posting this in General Discussion not in the least priority forum on the board.

they really don’t have that much more lore than Vulpera.

Which means that yes, they could be added, but imo why do all that work when ogres are right there and have been a part of the Horde since the first Warcraft game.

So Sethrak for the Horde. What Alliance could get?

Ogres would certainly be easier to make work than Sethrak on a technical level. Its basically just a Kul Tiran with a different head. Sethrak on the other hand would suffer from the Drakthyr issue without the benefit of a Visage form to show off armor.

I’m not so sure we’ll be getting non-neutral races anymore.

A higher effort pass at allied races would be nice (that’s really the only way I see us getting jinyu, hozen, sethrak, etc.), but I agree with Rathi, the trend seems to be one high effort neutral race, hero class negotiable.

Naga might get their moment when Azshara takes her turn as the big bad, possibly in Midnight. Ethereals as well down the line.
