LIke this?

That’d be a good use of the female Kul’tiran rig. Blizz spent time making it unique, may as well utilize that work with Ogres too, seeing as allied races usually reuse existing models

And lord knows the Sin’dorei hate trolls with a burning passion. Pretty sure they’re not fond of orcs or goblins either

Lorithyn-agamaggan · February 19, 2019, 11:45pm

Jesus it’s almost scary how well that works, especially the males

Delusion-ravencrest · February 19, 2019, 11:48pm

Not too bad, need to play more with the skin tones though. Possibly give the females more of a brow ridge.

Alamara-goldrinn · February 19, 2019, 11:49pm

Yes! It’s almost perfect!

Now, imagine it done like they did Rexxar:

Lorithyn-agamaggan · February 19, 2019, 11:54pm

Ok, I want everyone here to know that High Elves are easily my most wanted allied race… That said, this kind of playable Ogre would be the most badass addition to the game in terms of race since… ever, I’d say! Blizz had better give Ogres the justice they deserve, I know I’d play one of these in a heartbeat!

Lavinya-moon-guard · February 19, 2019, 11:55pm

I wonder how hard it’d be to implement two-headed ogres…

Alamara-goldrinn · February 19, 2019, 11:56pm

As NPCs? Easy.
Playable? Don’t count on that.

Delusion-ravencrest · February 19, 2019, 11:57pm

Rexxar is actually a half ogre though.

Nyshant-wyrmrest-accord · February 19, 2019, 11:58pm

Much better. I hope for Ogre players that this is the model they get.

Nyshant-wyrmrest-accord · February 19, 2019, 11:59pm

They did it in heroes of the storm.

Haha. You can only log on with a friend. One person drives and uses physical skills and the other casts magic.

Takes two slots in a party.

Lorithyn-agamaggan · February 20, 2019, 12:00am

Should Blizz choose to add Ogres at all I’d hope they’d be ballsy enough to attempt to include that as an option. Probably wouldn’t happen, though

God, I came here to talk and debate about High Elves, and you people have me gushing over Ogres!

Alamara-goldrinn · February 20, 2019, 12:02am

But look at the image I posted. Compare the LD old ogre model with Rexxar’s head.

Same nose. Same mouth. Same eyes (even similar tatoos). Same ears. Rexxar model even has the “slot” in the forehead where the horn should be.

Why did they make that head for a character that always uses a cowl?

Because it’s an ogre head.
I think that’s a test for a HD ogre model. THought I think playable ogres won’t have Rexxar’s abs.

Lorithyn-agamaggan · February 20, 2019, 12:02am

And Arator is a Half-Elf, is he not? Playable Ogres probably wouldn’t get that exact model, but I just can’t help but gush over how amazing a high res Ogre model would look

Nyshant-wyrmrest-accord · February 20, 2019, 1:27am

Go represent.

Fliktarg-thrall · February 20, 2019, 1:51am

is that a hearthstone reference?

Alamara-goldrinn · February 20, 2019, 1:52am

No, at least not one I’m aware of.

Fliktarg-thrall · February 20, 2019, 1:53am

that is too tough for me. I have said this a lot before. I like everything. What is my “favorite” very much can change on a whim. Sometimes it will be like that for weeks while other times I’ll go through 4 or 5 races in a day.

Fliktarg-thrall · February 20, 2019, 1:54am

ah, okay. Ogre cards in hearthstone are infamous for having this 50% mechanic to attack something else and so on. The cards vary in what exactly they are affecting with that 50% random chance.

Alamara-goldrinn · February 20, 2019, 1:57am

It was a coincidence.

Or fate. Who knows?
