Yea the leak that predicted all the evoker stuff and stuff in dragonblight said we might get allied races in 9.2.5 as a preorder bonus or something? Who knows? I would think that makes the evoker stuff more ok, but I still think that race shouldn’t be so limited as one class.
Kalecgos be helping us as a mage and stuff. And I more see it as an excuse for them not being able to use normal transmog in there dragon forms, they have there own customizations in the barbershop for the dragon form it seems.
It’s a shame too because the customizations look so pretty and we can not use them on classes like warrior/monk/hunter etc who would make good use of such things with the dragon scale themes. Could literally make a green scaled monk O.o healer!
Darkfallen as an allied race would be great, more so if it contained ways to be both dark rangers and san’layn. Stoneborn are pretty cool. I’ve kinda thought a class skin version for San’layn for Demon hunters using those as the tank meta form and dreadlords as the dps form would be pretty sweet.
Well I braved LFR and beat up the Jailer. An accurate depiction of my victory here:
Actually it was far from glorious. About 4 wipes and the last two attempts, I thought I had the rune the Jailer uses on people with the circle below me that I’m suppose to jump into the hole and bounce back up when it explodes…turns out I didn’t have that on me when I fell into the hole for some reason. Ended up taking an early dirt nap the entire raid, which does wonders for my ego and self esteem. -o -
Anyway, Icecrown is suppose to go back to a regular sky now instead of it being some ominous broken gateway to disappointment and missed opportunities, so I’m going to fly around and look at the area in case something else changes. I’ve completed the questlines there on this character, so that should help…then again, I get the sneaking suspicion that while the sky is in Shadowlands’ timeline, the ground is still in WotLK’s timeline. Wouldn’t surprise me.
If anyone has any suggestions of anything I should check out, please let me know. In the meantime, I think the Horde Council owes me BIG time for going to the afterlife and beating up someone who was going to do some rude things to the planet. Not to mention all the OTHER times I’ve saved the world (of Warcraft!). Some new members to the Horde would be super awesome as a reward…
Anyway, possible San’layn research underway as I search around Icecrown.
Aw that’s actually really kind of you. It was more of a ‘if it upsets you’ sort of thing since the thread does bounce to the top a lot (granted, most of the time unless it’s really relevant I don’t talk about vampyr elves, and I’ll hop into random threads to share my thoughts, like the recent dragon race or something). I do want more elves myself (well…specifically San’layn, beyond that I’m fine), but I’d be satisfied with customization on blood elves, at least. No indication, but who knows.
That said, I really do hope folks get what they’ve been asking for a while. I’d deal with compromise (but I want lore… even just a tidbit, like a night warrior questline). Some things like Ogres, Mok’nathal, Saurok, Sethrak, etc, would likely need a race or Allied Race slot too. All in all, dead serious, I hope to see far more added to the game to make many folks happy even if some I don’t want to play.
(Sure, there’s some I really, really don’t like, and will voice that, but I won’t knock people for wanting stuff. And I appreciate you for not being mean to me for wanting stuff you don’t want )
I liked the idea of defending silvermoon and it being a hub, and having zone rares relating to blood elf stories, transmog, maybe we learn more about zones and lore, or the rereretcon the supposed high elf druid stone wards.
Maybe sprinkle in ranger lore, dark ranger lore.
And having some conflicts resolve maybe.
And seeing the current horde inhabit silvermoon and stuff. And being there daily for a few patches. Because I havent really been there much since I leveled to max. And it would have been nice to fly around and see modern blood elf archicture and stuff.
But who knows what will happen patches down. Seems like infinite dragonflight and Galakrond are safe bets. Maybe they will somehow bring Yrel here to bridge another expansion.
My objection was over things like runes being class locked. Runes would make a great general customization for magical races like Blood Elves, Nightborne, Draenei, etc. Or what if you wanted Dalarani flair on a Human, but wanted to play a Warlock or Rogue for example?
For class specific customization, I’d prefer things like quivers for Hunters (as one model tied to Thas’dorah and another as a cloak replacer is pretty limiting), librams for Paladins, the fire orbs that Fire Mages used to have in Legion, etc.
You know…this expansion has red dragons relevant to the lore again. You know what red dragons can do? Heal the scars on the land caused by the scourge. The wrathgate was blighted just as much and their presence caused life to grow there. Perhaps…something similar could happen with Silvermoon
I spent a lot of time talking about; why can’t all hairstyles and stuff be shared across the races. Void elves are former blood elves from the horde, so it would make sense that some of them kept their hairstyles and so on. Keep in mind that there are many different opinions and suggestions, and you won’t always agree with every single one.
This goes under transmog and will be featured in another post. I mean more physical traits on a characters body depending on their race and class.
Mages having runes, warlocks having fel traits, paladins with light eyes etc.
I hope you guys read the posts and you are more than welcome to make your own posts and respond to it, that way we will see it easier as we’ll be notified and you can create a collective post about things you wish were brought up.
I don’t like the idea of quivers being exclusive with cloaks though, unless you’re talking about adding a separate transmog slot for them? Making them customization would be a way to dodge transmog restrictions.
I disagree with runes being restricted to just Mages.
I said above what I was hoping would be brought up yet hasn’t yet. Allied race requests. Customization requests. There’s whole detailed threads that haven’t been mentioned at all.
I hope you guys read the posts. You didn’t address pretty much anything I said.
I’ll repeat: it’d be nice if CC members actually asked and contributed to threads in GD with detailed feedback because the subjects we’ve brought up have been virtually untouched and it’s frustrating to make suggestions, be unheard for years, and then suddenly a select small council calls the shots.
We shouldn’t have to make separate threads to respond to every CC suggestion that’s somewhat relevant to be heard.
Also I haven’t seen you in any of those threads. Not in this one nor the other customization threads I’ve frequented. It could be a preference thing which is fine but allegedly the CC is supposed to talk about stuff the community is interested in and threads with tons of responses and detailed feedback are left completely ignored.
You also spent a lot of time emphasizing HE role players, while ignoring the impact their further requests has on BE visual uniqueness while offering little to nothing for BEs.
You spent months compiling that thread, then turned around and advocated for another HE request while never even peaking in the BE thread? “A lot of role players who enjoy the options they got from BEs want to know why can’t all BE options be given to them” was a sentiment in your post. Well BE fans don’t appreciate the loss of visual uniqueness and your post didn’t seem very thorough.
Something I have been thinking of doing is typing up a post that could be presented by a community council member, whether it is a currently willing member or if one of us ever gets on there, that would lead into playable race and customization megathreads being introduced, explain what we are and what we do, and generally linked to.
It would be something that at least explains the interests and passions we have in general, the continuation of both being added to the game over time, and other such details while linking to that megathread index in this megathread. It’d also be acknowledged that they’re all something we wouldn’t expect immediately, but instead be something for consideration over time.
However, if I am to do that, I’d want to get as much megathread creators and regulars to at least critique a rough draft of the post and give their thoughts on what should be included in it, since it would be something representing all of our interests and not be something I’d go into business for myself. Even if it’d be something I disagree with, it is only right that every megathread gets fair representation. It would also be each megathread creator’s responsibility to ensure their megathreads are in a presentable fashion.
To be clear, assuming such a post does get on that community council, there is no guarantee all of our wishes would come true and there is no idea how much consideration it would get from Blizzard, assuming they even look at it. However, I feel like it would be good to have something ready to go if such an opportunity comes.
If anyone has any opinions on such a post, please let me know. I’ll be mulling over it in my head some to see if I can think of how to word it.
How is that a problem? Visual uniqueness shouldn’t be emphasized, more options should. Just give every race options from other races that make sense. give troll beards. Give Night elves highborne options, and give void elves paladins
CC members aren’t politicians. They shouldn’t focus on specific groups. They should focus on huge issues that plague the game. And more customisations are a universal request
I think that would be a very nice resource for any CC member to refer to.
I’ll admit I feel generally ignored in this community by both the CC members and Blizzard. A post like that may increase the chances of our desires being heard.
I have to agree. Blizzard was more than generous with High Elf RP options for Void Elves. If Void Elves see any new customization options, they should be void-centric. And if any sharing is to be done between races, it’s certainly time for Void Elves to be the ones to do some sharing (looking at you hairstyles).
Honestly a small part of me still hopes we get red eyes and undead skin on BE’s at least, like when we got the golden eyes at the end of Legion/start of BfA
