Megathread: Ogres as Playable Allied race

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

I’ll leave this here:

Is the new Rexxar model a sign that we will get playable ogres?

To check the comparison between Rexxar model (sans mask) and the old ogre model, copy the following link, paste it and remove the space before the .com. imgur .com/gallery/OCb75AA When you remove the gear assets, the new Rexxar model is incredibly detailed. Too detailed for something that’s meant to be hidden. The model itself is based on the new Kul Tiran model, but the amount on details, specially in the face, make me believe that Blizzard is working on new models for the old world ogres. Bl…

You had me at Ogre, OP. I’m actually surprised Ogres aren’t a playable race yet. They should have been given to us in TBC instead of elves. IMO.

Signed.

[Zogamboka-aggramar (Zogamboka)]

Yes please. I’ve been wanting ogres as a playable race since I first saw them.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

The main issue you have is that there hasnt been a female ogre in WoW, meaning that they would have to develop it from scratch…so it as an AR wouldnt be possible.

It would be a core race.

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

Yes please… I want to be able to dance like this…

[Squidwards-zuljin]

Make it a male only race since there aren’t any female ogres.

I’d like to start a petition that this word be deemed offensive and cannot be used in a thread title.

[Carissaria-aggramar]

That is so much thought and effort put into this!

I wish someone would do so for the Alliance

moonkin is there waiting for you.

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

moonkin is there waiting for you.

Did you even check my spec??? and it isn’t the same as an Ogre.

[Iyasra-moon-guard (Iyasra)]

They would kind of be too similar too Kul Tirans and Mag’Har already bring the racial fantasy of Ogres.

[Deltividen-gurubashi]

I always say the more options the better when it comes to the races. Ogres have been with us forever and would be a welcomed addition. I disagree with them being able to be rogues and DKs. I see size potentially being an issue. I don’t want a shrunken version of an ogre and Blizz isn’t going to want to raise and widen every door in the game.

[Topazios-tichondrius]

My problem with ogers is that the whole point of the allied races is that they are easily to implement then a regular one.
Whether that be through re-using a skeleton, animations, not having a starting zone, simplified voice lines ect.
But I just don’t understand how you can do ogers quick and dirty and it looking good.
It probably would be the largest undertaking by the team, larger then even vulpera would be.
So what corners are suggesting they to fit ogers in?

[Viarris-tichondrius]

I don’t like ogres, so I guess I’m biased due to all my deaths from them in drenor. Hate them with a passion

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

They could use the Kul Tiran skeleton.

They already do with Rexxar and it fits well.

[Carissaria-aggramar]

He probably means you can be a moonkin and be fat like an ogre too ^.^

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

Or that the moonkin dance is the same… but it isn’t because it isn’t an ogre doing the dance…
