Personally, I support either road, however, I do hope for an Allied Race above all, because I’d love to have:
Specialized dances
Unique voicelines
Heritage armor
Lore (this is the biggest one for me, but could technically be achieved via questline of sorts)
Cons of Allied Race: Aside from the ‘NO MORE ELF’ crew, which I do not agree with (personally), we would not have access to the hair styles of Blood Elves. Also, a customization would likely not be applied to things like humans(who can be vampyr as well). Though, seeing as some are against vampires on the Alliance at all, this would be a pro in some cases. (I’m neutral on that particular matter.)
However, I would also settle for customization done right. I’d want it done this way:
The Questline
We’d learn the origin of the vampyr curse.
We’d learn specifically how it mutates. We see Lana’thel with wings, and the Blood Princes with claws and bat-like ears. I wonder if there are different variants of the mutagen for the curse.
We’d learn specifically how one is raised by the curse. Best assumption is a bite (Lana’thel fight), but there could be more to it.
Social structure of San’layn, as in how does one go from a Neophyte to a Marquis/Marquess to a Prince/Princess
The Customization
Proper fangs/claws for Blood Elves. This could be a toggle.
New Eye colors: Amber, Red, Jet Black
Access to deathly skins (though this could be accomplished via access to DK skins on Blood Elves).
(Personal wish that likely won’t ever be given) Gothic tattoos, facial piercings, jewelry, to match the darker style.
I’d be more interested in racials tbh. As a reskin you wouldn’t get that but as a new race you also get new racials and I know you want that cloud of bats.
Oh yeah, your point is too compelling to pass up. Now I want them as an Allied Race even more. Well, fingers crossed for news eventually! There’s been great ideas in this thread, so hopefully they will come to fruition someday. Especially the cloud-of-bats racial.
I got this drop! I know you can purchase this with currency, but I’ve been farming the rare and just saved a TON of resources that I can use toward other things.
I personally love the new bat models they added into the game, and have wanted the saber-bats for a while. This one happens to be my favorite model of them. It’s got beautiful crimson and wine colors!
Congrats on the mount! I’m still trying for the Son of Galleon mount in Pandaria, myself. 619 attempts so far and no luck (no Rey Mysterio involved either, sadly).
I opened the Ember Court today for the first time in Sinfall and when it added the couples Venthyr dancing together up in the air by the ceiling grate it made me happy. Such a beautiful vampire cliche.
Holy crap man! I gave up on Invincible when I was around 280+ but 600+ is insane for anything in-game imo. At least you don’t have to run a whole raid for a chance at the mount. I use to love ICC but I hate it so much now that I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Didn’t even like seeing it in the new Dk intro or the Shadowlands intro I hate it that much now.

I just gave you some luck. Now, whether it’s good luck or bad luck I can’t tell.
Didn’t even like seeing it in the new Dk intro or the Shadowlands intro I hate it that much now.
