I think that’s fair, the newer thread is valid for people that had issues w yours so the cross link and support is appreciated

These are great suggestions and I am aware of all these races. They are noted down! It will be more a concern with lore and how it will be fitting into it, of course, that is up to the Blizzard team. Allied races post will be up in the future!

The problem is that seperate posts on the same subject tends to get overlooked and those that have said their opinions on my post might not want to write the same thing again on a different post. But we are communicating!

An AR thread would be super interesting, I know there’s an index here in the second post I’ll link if you wanted to look into it:
(I’m not going to post the entire thing, I think if you click it, it’ll go right there)
But there is some stuff lacking there though, like no Taunka megathread, sadly. Some of them just haven’t been mentioned, but I’ve seen them around!
Then, there’s the ‘these could be an AR but they could also be customization’ side of things, which is where Kelfin fall. And Darkfallen. Maybe Eredar too. But given how ARs work, they could also be ARs. Those ones would sort of be a toss up.
Whereas things like Saurok, Sethrak, Arakkoa, Ethereals, and such like that would definitely need to be an AR as opposed to straight customization on an existing race (In my personal opinion!)

I understood your point about ARs being a separate thread.
However for example Maizous thread w customization addressed ARs that could be tied w customization means the way VEs effectively have two distinct visual sets of options.
He mentioned San’layn in that regard and Kelfin (I’d have to go back and look for others) but it feels pertinent to mention those avenues as customization routes since fans have brought that up as an acceptable alternative to an outright AR should blizzard choose to not make them an AR.
They would overlap of course bcz they’re also an AR request but they are different than say Sethrak which is really an AR request that can’t fit on an existing model for customization.
Like AR requests that could be customization seem pertinent to mention in a customization thread as much as an AR thread until one of the avenues to deliver the request gets met. They do differ from ARs that only work as ARs.

Oh right there’s also Jinyu (another one I’m surprised has no thread, at least right now). Arakkoa had one a while ago.
My personal want is Mantid but I know lorewise they won’t work (At least for now.)

To me customization of these races only is a non starter, they need to be a full AR.
Not us being so desperate where we keep cutting our standards until we settle for san lynn sleeping bags in game usuable by the player.

I FEEL SO CALLED OUT RIGHT NOW! That made me laugh, I’m not going to lie, because you’re so right it’s unreal.

That’s fair, I would like to see a second visually distinct set of options for BEs the way VE players can use void options and options that detracted from any sense of visual uniqueness for BE players.
So it would be nice to see both points addressed as quickly as possible. Arguably giving VEs non void options, and dwarves wildhammer options etc are very impactful whether the most desired route or not, I’d rather see something impactful done.

Too much to hope for furbolg?
I doubt it cause they weren’t mentioned directly but I can dream.
The Ankoan thread is also for Jinyu.

Oooo yeah, those work too. I believe those got remodels as well, right? I feel like any remodeled race would definitely be a contender–anyone that’s relevant. So yeah, Furbolg would also be likely, moreso than Darkfallen, to be honest, because of remodels.

No word yet but the Gnolls and tuskarr in the same zone did so I hope so.

Yeah, they’ll most likely have some cool remodels then! So I would say:
-Sethrak
-Furbolg
-Gnolls
-Tuskarr
-Darkfallen
Would be the list of contenders for the supposed AR (which is a leak but given the leak got everything else right…). I mean… it was a singular AR mentioned, not “ARs” but if they want to generate hype, multiple ARs would net more preorders, realistically.

I really want the red eyes and the burgundy hair color, I know say that a lot but I really do. 
Also for this even though I only play Warlocks I have supported and support more stuff for Death Knights including red, green, purple, orange and even black glowing eyes for them potentially.

How about Wildhammer sleeping bag?
I prefer to think of it as a onesie.

I suppose this is what continous disappointment does to one but I agree. Especially after Drakthyr. I was a big “they should just focus on making core races” person but after a race where you can only be one class. God please just make a ton of fan favorite requests ARs.

They could get so much praise for this too, like when they announced ARs, the community sprung up with excitement only to be ignored. .-.
Perhaps they’re trying to attract new players to the game, but that’s not the best idea given the new players might look into the lore in place and be like: “Wow, I want to play this!”
Sorry, no, that’s not playable, they keep adding new stuff out of the blue and giving no love to old lore.
