The tortollan’s could be the next playable neutral race. Think of the Racials places to armor they would make great warriors and casters.

No. I’d rather they invested their resources and efforts in areas other than a race that only a fraction of the playerbase might like.
I wouldn’t mind playing Venthyr though. Or having them invest their efforts into more player customization across the board for all races. Or even things like opening up race / class combinations like Void Elf Paladins or Druids or something.

They couldn’t because they’re a largely pacifistic race, they have no relevance beyond most BfA zones, and the writers clearly don’t have any further major interest in them, as they were intended to be another one-off NPC race. Their models don’t even look remotely player-ready.
Like Vykoden said, we need races that a lot of people would actually play. Even during BfA, interest in tortollans becoming playable was minimal compared to vulpera, sethrak, ankoan, gilgoblins, probably even mechagnomes. I’m sure the people who don’t have glowing opinions of BfA don’t want another new race from that expansion as a constant reminder of that race’s stupid, tedious WQs when they were just NPCs.
Lastly, let’s be real, here, the only two classes that people would ever play a tortollan as would be monk and rogue, for obvious reasons, but there would still be a few people spamming GD demanding tortollan paladins and warlocks when the race invariably doesn’t have access to those two.
Not gonna happen. Too many made it to the water.

I really don’t want them to be a playable race but I do have the name Nola on Moon Guard since before BfA so that would be fun.
I could randomly show up on the forums with that character and post: “A turtle made it to the water” or “The cycle of life is so cruel!”
I just watched teenage mutant ninja tortollans.
Definitely should be an Allie Race.

A couple of months back during raid, while clearing trash, people were typing out rando quotes in General chat.
My quote: “A turtle made it to the water.”
I got lols, whispers and one traumatized person lol.
Idk if people would like a tortollan race so much lol.

P…s… I was going to make a new thread. Saw this one though and figured Necromancy was better than duplicity.
It’s worth it to go back to BFA for some of those world quests! The shell game is my favorite and really helped me when I was struggling with brain damage.

I wouldnt be upset by them, but i wouldnt exactly be happy either. Theyre alright i suppose. I wouldnt play one. At least not seriously.
I think it would be a cool playable race tbh,
But I would def anticipate a xmog problem where you can’t really use cloaks and stuff because your shell has to be visible at all times
Like they did with Mechagnomes: Bliz decided the distinctive parts (arms and legs) should be visible at ALL times, and therefore mechagnomes can’t mog hands or feet at all, and can only partially mog chests (they appear as sleeveless) and pants (they appear as diapers).
Idk why blizzard made that awful decision for mechagnomes, but I 100% would see it happening with tortollans as well

They’re just a sect of “Slow Down” Pandarians that shaved themselves and wear shells.
