It would be cool to have them make an appearance in a flashback to remind general audiences about them, then follow it up with an atonement storyline that (re-)inducts them into the Horde to lend some of their draconic expertise to the current situation. Sort of like certain historical scientists who tried to put their ill-gotten knowledge to better use by siding with their former enemies later on.

That we have Dragon Riding as a mechanic coming up, but no access to the Orcs that defined the concept in this franchise, is a travesty.
And that holds true for the Wildhammer - an expansion devoted to the freedom of flight, yet we cannot play as the two factions that are the masters of it, even though theyâve technically joined already.

That has occurred to me.
I do wish blizzard had the care for the Dragonmaw and Wildhammer that both groups deserve.

Unfortunately thatâs just the stone cold bro Stony Tony, a true KING and a real one
It does feel like a missed opportunity. Maybe we will be lucky and they will show up. Our characters are still tied to the Horde and Alliance.

Still hoping they might do something eventually to let Wildhammer get heritage armor and maybe a special gryphon mount.
Though my absolute dream would be for them to get a stormhammer racial.
Dragonmaw should also get the same. Their history is important just like the Wildhammer and I hope blizzard one day calls attention to that.

Like, I fully understand that the Dragonmaw Clan has been so omnipresent simply because they needed regular antagonistic Orcs that werenât Horde. But in doing so⌠theyâve only compounded the affinity Iâve had for them ever since WarCraft II. Surely, they must have made a few more fans along the wayâŚ
But yeah, in recent years, theyâve gotten more ambitious with their racial design. It would be interesting to see how a Stormhammer would play out. Honestly, it would be fun to use it like Falstad in HotS.

If they had dragonmaw, I would have to find an rp guild
Mind you it would have to be more âoldâ horde than thralls.
Thatâs how this guild was originally conceived in 2004. Necessity in raiding had us expanding our restrictions a bit, but even in BfA we had a few race changing to Orc to fit in.

Still waiting on my proper Wildhammer blizzard!
The ones with their own racials, the druid class and no mage, warlock or Paladin since they wouldnât have em.
Bring along those Dragonmaw too. Itâs about time!

I appreciate your enthusiasm! At this point, though, Iâm about ready to accept the Wildhammer treatment for the Dragonmaw Orcs. I just want to play as oneâŚ
Technically, when I made this character, I could make a Dragonmaw Orc. Then they added those awesome custom skins for Cataclysm - which got a deliberate WoD update, mind you - and no one thought to add them to the playable selection at any point since.
To harp on this any longer just feels like dwelling. And thatâs not healthy.

This would be a good fit for DF.

At this rate I really just want wildhammer themed heritage armor on bronzebeard dwarves and druids

Need less Orcs, Elves and Furries in this game.
⌠whatâs left? More flavours of Human?
Even Goblins are just little Orcs.
Need more Goblins. I donât expect Orc players with no imagination to understand this.
How is âOrcs, but small and greedy,â imaginative?
It isnât, hence what I said.
It ainât all its cracked up to be on either side to be sure.
I still want a proper racial set and a good proper Wildhammer mount. Without our Stormhammers and our gryphons we ainât Wildhammer. Just Bronzebeards playing at it.
Works for some folk but itâs not near good enough for others.
Dragonmaw, I think, deserve their own spot of racials and their own mount at the very least. Theyâve been the longest hold out from the old Horde and their history is nearly as important to the story as the Wildhammers is. But theyâve been forgotten and treated like nothing.
I wonât ever forgive blizzard for that, but Iâll work with em to at least get proper racials and druids for Wildhammer dwarves.

I honestly agree. These were two of the races i remember thinking about among alot of others when it came to allied races in bfa.
I honestly just felt like bfa could have handled them better. They were way to difficult to unlock, and i honestly have to many toons as it is, that i have played for years.
But more classes and races never hurts the game going forward in my op. Best thing about cataclysm was playing as a goblin. Its like smash bros. Never can have to may characters in wow. Or classes.
