Sethrak Will Never Be Playable

[Hasla-moon-guard]

@Kittsuera-lothar

Sethrak would make a SSSSSSolid $ for Activision Blizzard because there is a Demand for them. as such, that argument actually supports a greater chance at them being added as a player race.

@Nadezhdha-proudmoore

Also, I think you underestimate their popularity.

Not to do the poop-posting(don’t know if S word is allowed so sorry for that conundrum), but there was that picture floating around with Vulpera Caravan discord and Sethrak-something(can’t remember the name), where in Sethrak discord there was like 100 people and Vulpera Caravan had thousands or something. I know it was kind of a meme, but demand is really not that high at all.

@Nadezhdha-proudmoore

And I’ll point at Nightborne as far as going from NPC to Playable Model. (Although I prefer the darn NPC model…)

Nightborne, as is, and forever was, a Night Elf with 4 idle animations added on top. Everything else is exactly the same about them. That’s why they are playable, because its minimal effort content.

@Nadezhdha-proudmoore

You cannot kill hope.

Yes, because Blizzard did it for me. Besides, you talking to someone who wanted playable drakonids for over a decade now. I’d love to have playable sethrak, but I’m just… more realistic than that.

@Nadezhdha-proudmoore

I can dream though.

Good way to make yourself feel disappointed for no reason.

@Moritz-draenor

However we got maghar who were 2 expansions old and in an alternative timeline we shouldn’t have been able to go back to as easily as we did.

We got void elves who were created from thin air.

This makes me think that I did a wrong thing by putting Lore reasons above Technical reasons. Yes, lorewise anything possible, but Void Elves and Mag’hars are just recolors of OG races, sorry to tell you that. Sethrak is monster creature that loosely based on female worgen skeleton. You can’t just slap texture on them and be done with it like other AR’s.

@Shiftnswift-frostmourne

So you are saying that anything without

Yes. Everyone likes breasts… or, well, almost everyone. And holy hell if Blizzard’s entire game catalog is not a proof that they love themselves some breasts too, on pretty much… everything.

@Hamoron-icecrown

Come on now at least let people dream.

Trying to prevent them from having long lasting disappointments. Coming from experience.

@Nadezhdha-proudmoore

Or make the female Sethrak taller.

That would be rejected in Meeting Rooms, trust me. I worked in Marketing companies, I know what I’m talking about.

@Highholy-wyrmrest-accord

They added murder-fluffs and diaper gnomes, but not the now reoccuring Jinyu.

That one is important comment because it brings general unawareness in audience of WoW of how development cycle for this Life-Service(which what WoW is) works. Vulpera and Mechagnomes were to be playable long before the concept picture of them has graced the big screens of the BlizzCon for all people to see.
Same way, people need to realize, that 10.+ patch is already developed and being tuned and adjusted, in contrary to popular belief that development of patches and games only starts after previous thing is done. I can confidently tell you, that CGI cinematic for expansion that comes AFTER Shadowlands has hit the pre-production status.

[Hamoron-icecrown (Hamoron)]

I love dreaming! Sure some dreams aren’t meant to come true but some do! We all have that one race we all hope for someday.

Fine by me. I prefer to be positive about this even if it’s all for naught in the end. I’ve got far too much bad things going on in my life right now.

I’m not even 30 and my mom is dying from cancer.

I’ll going to keep at this with a passion. It’s important to me and helps me cope.

Gotta tell you, if they PLANNED for BfA to be a Frakenstein’s monster of 3 different stories, with a “main storyline” that ended 2/3 of the way through the expansion lifecycle…that is the most depressing thing in this thread.

[Hamoron-icecrown (Hamoron)]

Oh my I’m so sorry to hear that ;_( hugs ever give up!

I’m very sorry to see that. Stay strong

I was 28 when my dad passed away from cancer.

There are other ways they could distinguish the two genders, such as making females more colorful, giving them more elaborate patterns on their neck hood, extra options along the side of the neck, ect.

[Highholy-wyrmrest-accord]

I would assume that most people know that World of Warcraft is in continous development and new things are being planned all the time. However, your schedule is likely a bit too aggresive.

You do seem to be missing out on an important fact with completely dismissing Sethrak. Blizzard can change what they do based on the community. After all, that’s why you’re speaking with your character name and not your account name.

Also, I’m not entirely sure it’s acutally unique, but the Kul-Tirian skeletons don’t match others as best as I’ve checked.

Rexxar uses the male KT skeleton.

Or, they use his? I’m not sure which came first.

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

I’ll be 28 in a month. She’s got stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis in the liver.

It’s rough. I do pretty good. Games and my pet snakes help a lot. Cause there’s nothing I can do. And that’s the worse thing.

Thank you though.

[Terranox-stonemaul (Terranox)]

If blizzard starts adding allied races in content gaps I bet Sethrak would be a popular race they can start with. Especially since they already have playable models. Using the new npc system. And are worgen female reskins. They would make a good horde race tbh and a united Zandalar would be cool.

[Highholy-wyrmrest-accord]

Rexxar is older than Battle for Azeroth. But he’s still an NPC, and wouldn’t have as nearly a fully fleshed out model as a player character.

It’s this reasoning that seeing Vulpera in underwear was suspicious.

That’s how it always was.

We’re talking about the videogame that beyond its façade of “supporting” anyone or anything, is still a videogame with predominantly male audience. Trust me when I say that something that DOESN’T have breasts in Blizzard game have infinitely less chances to be playable.

[Tovi-moon-guard (Tovi)]

Well yeah I know Rexxar is older than BfA (he’s older than WoW) but he’s had a few model updates. What I meant was I don’t remember if he had his current model in Legion or did he just get it in BfA.

Actually its 1/3 the size of Vulpes.

Also the Sethrak form mega threads have capped several times over… granted the current one only has 51k views atm

[Morgam-proudmoore (Morgam)]

I won’t let playable Sethrak go until WoW shuts down for good.

Keep the dream alive.

[Highholy-wyrmrest-accord]

Oh, that’s a good question. Looking up images from Rexxar in Highmountain, he’s very different than now.

[Féyrre-wyrmrest-accord]

I hope you’re wrong, OP. I’d love to see Sehtrakk. But I’m not super optimistic about it happening.
