Megathread: Ogres as Playable Allied race

[Ariiah-wyrmrest-accord (Ariiah)]

Always looking forward to the day we get playable Ogres!

[Masurao-lightbringer]

They should make them Gorian and Alliance, since Draenor Ogres hate Orcs.

[Syegfryed-tol-barad (Syegfryed)]

No they should not.

first, alliance don’t want ogres, the alliance killed then as well in draenor.

Ogres don’t hate orcs that much, they allied themselves with the iron horde just fine, and the ogre survivors were show to be allied with the maghar as well, and they came to azeroth with then, so, Ogres would be horde either way

[Vidris-bronzebeard]

Ogres are already in the horde. Just need those to be playable.

Mok’Nathal would be nice too.

[Ariiah-wyrmrest-accord (Ariiah)]

Indeed! It’s the Stonemaul Ogres, I think, who are allied to the Horde. From Dustwallow Marsh? They’d be the most ideal candidates since they’re already in the Horde, or at least closely allied to it.

[Astrius-dalaran]

If the intelligence is in question, perhaps something can be done with a more thorough form of kaja-cola.

[Syegfryed-tol-barad (Syegfryed)]

@Vidris-bronzebeard

i did a big post before why they are not a good idea and would rob the ogres place, and since they are almost extinct better let then alone.

i don’t think intelligence is a problem, Gorian ogres by example are intelligent enough, the others can be if blizz want it.

Or… Both?

Folk need to stop focusing on the slots concept with AR’s. Its the worst thing blizzard did with them.

are you knew to blizzard? cause its how they work, one or another

if they retcon lore and give us the lame explanation to add moknathal(despite their numbers being too low, no sense for then coming from outland) they will just say they are enough and we don’t need ogres anymore.

In that event continue calling for ogres. Blizzard changes their mind as often as the wind blows. Keep showing support for both races, for all races, that you desire.

Blizzards mistake is not your own.

[Syegfryed-tol-barad (Syegfryed)]

Again, there is lot of problems with moknathal, as have other races, i at least will not support everything, just for the hell of it, especially when one will erase the other for the equation

[Vidris-bronzebeard]

@Ariiah-wyrmrest-accord

Stonemaul Ogres, I think, who are allied to the Horde. From Dustwallow Marsh?

Much like the Dark Irons were already a part of the Alliance before they were an AR, the Stonemaul Ogres could be inducted officially into the Horde as an AR.

Would be just as good.

@Astrius-dalaran

Ogres were once very intelligent, but when their empire and society collapsed they lost a lot. They regressed in tech and understanding. I don’t think the intelligence thing is really a thing the way people think it is. Its been years and years since they rejoined the Horde. Its easily possible that in that time the Horde’s closer ties to civilization as it were have helped them to recapture their old intelligence again.

Well, we’re not going to see eye to eye on that. I see where you’re coming from, don’t get me wrong.

I’m not so invested in Ogres or Mok’Nathal that I’ll have my day ruinied if only one gets added, but I will still support and ask for both.

bless people with this indifference, there is some of us waiting ogres since they were replaced from blood elves in TBC, that is thirteen years of waiting

i think it will ruin the day of any ogre fan wait 13 years to get a race but they be completely replaced by a lame-half version of it just because some people went nuts on the Rexxar model

[Dremin-sargeras (Dremin)]

@Zimos-dark-iron

There’s a few Clans of Ogres in the Outlands that might be a good choice.

Ogri’la in Outland. They’re smarter and not as violent as the typical Ogre Clain. We’ve helped and worked with them before, even with a rep system. They’re also smaller, in terms of size.

Ogre height range is insane from smaller than Tauren to a foot or two above (that’s why I mention Ogr’la’s height as being important).

[Vidris-bronzebeard]

@Syegfryed-tol-barad

bless people with this indifference,

Your indifference and in fact seeming dislike of those who are interested in Mok’Nathal is telling.

I hope you don’t represent the majority of those waiting for Ogres.

I hope for both races to be added. In fact I hope for most races that have been suggested to be added.

[Syegfryed-tol-barad (Syegfryed)]

@Vidris-bronzebeard

Im not having “indifference”, im firmly against the introduction of a race who do not make sense who will rob the race i want in the spot

@Vidris-bronzebeard

You can create another thread for that race, and many other, this one is especially to the ogres, the full ones.

[Vidris-bronzebeard]

@Syegfryed-tol-barad

Of course my mistake.

Your firm dislike for another race others might be interested in that is related to the one you like and also available is telling.

@Syegfryed-tol-barad

I came here to support Ogres, threw in that I’d not mind Mok’nathal as well.

You responded that they didn’t deserve it, I suggested to ask for both.

You’re being awfully hostile for no reason.

[Syegfryed-tol-barad (Syegfryed)]

i just said i don’t ask for both, for very good reasons, like i said, its just my position in this whole thing about new races

[Vidris-bronzebeard]

Well I wish you luck.

I’m going to continue as I have. Quite excited for both races myself.

[Rosenylund-herod]

@Grayphus-nemesis

No!
It would not be in any way!

You don’t speak for everybody.

@Grayphus-nemesis

But then, is someone saying that Horde, imagining that he can conceive what would be in the interest of the alliance!

I’m not really that crazy about Ogres.

Everyone has different tastes.

Just because some people play Horde or Alliance does not mean they will share the exact same feelings.

@Grayphus-nemesis

Races must be equivalent in both sides!

They are

@Grayphus-nemesis

The horde can suggest any race they deem interesting for them,

Still waiting on Gil goblin and Sethrak along with updated NB models.

@Grayphus-nemesis

It is disappointing that horde players always suggest what could be more decpcionate to the Alliance, but always comes with endless arguments on something that we show interest or suggest how interesting for the Alliance, even when it’s not High Elves!

I would play a High elf.

But keep in mind it’s not as imaginative or interesting objectively speaking. It’s just another Thalassian reskin.
