The Imperfect Asendancy Serum has me itching for them as a playable race. We have 3 Dwarves now, I would kill to play as a Nerubian. Especially Neutral/multiple classes. Casting spells on my lock, and healing as my monk I love the models and really hope they are a playable race at some point. The animations look great, the models are amazing, I really wanna heal, tank, and dps as this race. Just tossing my post into the bucket in hopes we can possibly see them (hopefully soon) in the future.
If we get Nerubians in some fashion I don’t want the ascended ones.
Harronir is more likely to be playable.
Plus, the only good bug is a dead bug.
Tbf i doubt our alliance with them will last, we already saw what happened with the Klaxxi.
They use the Dracthyr skeleton so it’s very possible in the future! Azj’kahet also has the vibes of Suramar…
Maybe we’ll get them in pre-patch for Midnight
I hope so cuz I love them so far. We’ve had plenty of Nerubian friends, we got the foxes, let us have the spiders.
The Mantid explicitly still worshipped the Old Gods. The Nerubians whole schtick is that they didn’t. And Ansurek betrayed them by going against that by following the Harbinger.
They aren’t betraying us lol.
They also mentioned the Kobyss are related to the Ankoan. So the Alliance might get the fishies from Nazjatar with an upgraded model in a future patch. I don’t think Sethrak will ever happen, but it’d be neat. I want more beast-people on the Horde.
It would be nice to have a few more. I still don’t know why we needed yet another Dwarven race. It’s cool you can play them on Horde though. I’ll give them that. More neutrality is always welcome.
The Old Gods disagree.
C’thun: “Bug armies are so rad.”
Y’shaarj: “They totally are.”
Yogg-Saron: “…They planted a tree…”
Y’shaarj: “What…?”
Yogg-Saron: “They planted a damn tree! I can feel it on me. I’m going to mess with their bear men!”
Y’shaarj: “Yogg. That isn’t the plan.”
C’thun: “Focus guys.”
Yogg-Saron: “Don’t lecture me Y’shaarj! I mean how do you even say your name? It’s like Yerr-sherj.”
Y’shaarj: “Don’t…”
Yogg-Saron: “Ermegerd… they killed Yerr-sherj…”
Y’shaarj has left the chat.
C’thun: “You jerk. He was the strongest of us!”
N’zoth is online.
C’thun: “Hey! N’zoth is on! What’s up my du—”
Yogg-Saron: “Hey N’zoth, how’s that bad dragon membership working out for you?”
N’zoth has left the chat.
C’thun: “…He… he left. Yogg. What the hell?”
Yogg-Saron: “LOL!!”
True story. Don’t hate me.
I think Dracthyr presented a really good template for how to handle a race like this. Give them a “Visage” form that uses an ordinary body that shows most armor fine, and a “combat” form that lets you do whatever weird stuff you want.
Except Y’shaarj was dead before that tree was planted.
Fake news.
He’s a haunted sort of dude. You are fake news.
I’m 50/50 on the Visage form. If I could choose my combat form, that’d be cool. I’m only a Dracthyr Evoker cuz I had to be. I’d probably have chosen another race tbh. They’re not bad, but I kinda like my Visage form/armor and it’s a shame to just pop Dragon with shoulders.
As for the Ascended I’m not sure they’d have another form to go into. Which honestly I’m fine with them as is. Let’s go spider people! Judging by the lore/quests it’s also very clear that we are not enemies to the Nerubians either and further gain their trust showing compassion, and mainly aiming for Xal’atath.
arent all of the ascended guys evil monsters
oh there’s some working with the severed threads, so perhaps maybe if they can make them look cool
Give me Nerubs, I’ll take them in any form
Not going to happen because then the >1% playerbase is going to ask for Blizzard to make an arachnophobia mode crab race too.
Fine but if you’re on your ascended nerubian and you come anywhere near Xalatath, you get permanently mind-controlled and you lose the character.
It made me chuckle, so I’ll give you a solid 7/10 score. 3 were deducted for historical inaccuracy. Enjoy your 7 internet points.
The horde do need a cosmic race for the void.
