Races You Want, But You Abandoned All Hope

You remind me of Ilthalaine, Mortis.

Nixxiom’s Ilthalaine.

My, you’re a bored one.

Fungarian and Fungrets. That one world quest in Maldraxxus gives you a taste and I want more.

I wanted yaungol for pseudo-tauren mages, but I’ve accepted that few others want them and it’s unlikely for the writers to decide that the Horde needs to go back to Pandaria to recruit another tauren offshoot.

I haven’t abandoned hope on this one cuz I never had any hope for then to be introduced as playable, but I always wanted dragons, specifically nether drakes.

Ethereals. Wanted them since I first saw them. It would be nice if they phase shift like the ethereals in that dungeon do when they run.

No hope lost for my wanted races, but I’ll once again share my “Horde Triforce of Hope!™” for races I want to become playable Horde races!

:small_red_triangle::crocodile: Courage! (Saurok)

:small_red_triangle::bat: Wisdom! (San’layn)

:small_red_triangle::japanese_ogre: Power! (Ogres)

Would also like to see Kelfin :japanese_goblin::trident: (Horde) and Saberon :cut_of_meat::tiger2: (Either faction) playable, too!

I’ll keep supporting my wanted playable races as best as I can. Speaking of which, if anyone is interested, I do run the Saurok and Stonemaul Ogre megathreads:

My hope remains strong as ever:

I’m confused

Unpopular opinion:

I’m glad we don’t have ogres

Way back in Early to mid BFA, I thought the Sethrak could have had a chance; being very unique. Unfortunately it was just a story that Blizz didn’t want to tell. Similar story with the Arrakoa before that.

Racial: Flight. Basically just Druid Flight Form without the shapeshift. Doesn’t work where flight is restricted. This is really just flavor, like Worgen with Running Wild.

Racial: Leap (give it a better name). Basically a big ol’ flap that functions as a non-damaging Heroic Leap for your “knocked off the bridge and chose death” scenario. Has a cooldown for gameplay purposes. If it needs to be more unique - have it allow flight even in no-flight areas for, say, 3 seconds. This would be neat but might force Blizz to throw some extra barriers around, particularly in Dungeons and PvP instances. Although Demon Hunters kind of already cause issues and Blizzard hasn’t bothered to be more on top of things like that, so maybe it wouldn’t matter.

Racial: Winged. Fall Damage reduced by x% (equal to whatever the current highest fall damage reduction is – I know Pandaren have it, Rogues have it, Cats have it… not sure on percentages).

I feel like this could work without feeling too ‘off’.

Anything interesting and non-human looking for the Alliance, and any non-mammalian humanoid races, period. That went out the window when they decided to pass up Ankoan and give us diaper gnomes. This after passing up Jynu in Panda-land, and then the Sneks later on. It would have been nice to have Sneks since the foxes went Horde. The foxes have the cuteness and utility that actually appeals more to Alliance players, too.

High Elves, just so the Alliance will finally shut up about them and complain about something else.

Naga, Tuskar, and murlocs.

those are the ONLY ones i personally want for a while now.

Alliance

  • high arrakoa
  • stormheim vyrkul
  • sethrak

Horde

  • taunka
  • mogu
  • mognatal

I think Blizzard did a huge miss opportunity for Tuskarr, with all the crazy shenanigans happening in Northrend for the Shadowlands Pre-Patch, the helm destroyed, the scourge running rampant…

Perfect opportunity for the Tuskarr to finally officially join the roster of playable races and send their heroes to defend their homeland and assist in the war.

I’m sure the issues in Shadowlands have effected them.
