Permanent method to change character’s racial appearance

i’m just saying that if the game’s background history and lore is removed to allow playable goblins, then there is no reason to not open up all race/class combos (as lore justifications should be irrelevant at this point).

understand?

No. See: every argument that shut you down right from the start prior to your strawmanning.

This makes absolutely no sense. Not on iota.

what background history and lore was removed?

No, I disagree, and here’s why.

We all knew Northrend was a place in WoW before it became accessible (and playable) to us. We couldn’t go there, but we knew it existed, and eventually it became accessible. The same goes for Kul Tiras.

We all knew goblins existed because we saw them in WoW. Eventually they became accessible to us as well. That seems more of a logical comparison to me.

Lore is a thing that changes over time and the course of the game as the story evolves. Some goblins ended up joining the horde as part of the story. Just like how we got draenei and blood elves and worgen.

Which would still affect their bottom line from race changes.
It ain’t happening unless they have a money stream to replace it.

that’s a good point, i would agree with that 100%

what money stream replaced the gender changes?

What backstory and lore was removed for playable goblins?

The hilarious part is that they didn’t need to replace a “money stream” for gender changes, because their metrics showed no one was really using it, thus… there wasn’t really any revenue from it to lose.

yeah the drust forms for druids would fit really well for undead druids.

Yo

What is the backstory and lore that was removed for playable goblins?

the issue is that not all classes can be all races

additionally, i dont want to change my race - i like my current racials… i just want to be able to change my appearance to have something different.

Yeah, a permanent choice is one you can’t change at all.

Some races are forbidden from being certain classes. Are you willing to accept the race-change as long as you are kicked out of your faction and become a neutral faction player?

Races don’t only serve the purpose of looking cool for the person who plays them. They also have to make sense within the set dressing of WoW, and having everyone changing race on a whim and racials being independent from visuals would put a dent into that.

Can’t you just make new characters?

I don’t think we will ever get an answer to that.

No, but I love hammering a point a person is clearly avoiding.

they wont ever make it possible to keep gleeful glamor up 24/7 because then nobody would buy race changes

but race changes are completely separate from cosmetics… people don’t play a specific race for cosmetics - people play a specific race for their racials.

see how many enhance shamans changed from dwarf to maghar orc after the maghar orc buffs? had nothing to do with appearance, they race changed for the racial.

allowing a person to change their appearance has zero effect on a person’s desire to change race.

i will never change race because i like the racial i have too much… i would like to change my appearance so i can set up different mogs to go with different racial appearances.

People also race change for the aesthetic.

You dont change from dwarf to mahgar orc for the racials.

people already can change their racial appearance with a 100% uptime. So this statement does not have any substance to it.

a person who wants to have 100% up-time on a racial appearance change can get a friend to help them with another atomic recalibrator…

that gives them the racial appearance for one hour (but the toy has a 12 hour cooldown).

You then rinse and repeat this all day if you choose (just need 12 friends).

I would like to be able to change my racial appearance without using the recalibrator 12 times.

i’d rather not have to bother my friends every 60 minutes for a race change appearance.

it currently exists in the game, let’s just make it more convenient.

ask Zorthar (rank one mythic plus NA enhance shaman) about that. Or ask Crimsf (rank one EU enhance shaman).

they both race changed from dwarf to maghar orc for the 2 minute damage racial.

Next season Zorthar plans to go back to dwarf since enhance won’t be playing ascendance any longer and the 2 minute stat cooldown from maghar orc isn’t as valuable.

don’t you play an enhance shaman in mythic plus?
