See for all the low-hanging jokes I used to make about them, their real trouble is they’re both special AND they use the Goblin model, so it’s weird to me. My brain wants to just say they’re connected to Goblins somehow and hope that special races in the future will be full core races that are all their own.
Most allied races should have just been extra customizations.
You really want to tell me that Lightforged is different enough from regular draenei to be its own race, but man’ari who are literally demons are just a customization option?
Just ditch the allied race concept and roll all the allied races into the core race as a customization option. Vulpera can get promoted to core race.
What about Pandaren and Dracthyr? Those are core races too, mind you they are neutral ones so I guess they are in an odd place next to the others.
One of the Dracthyr ones could be Drakonid, but I don’t really know what else draconic would be suitable other than that.
I suppose if you are willing to stretch the Allied Race idea that you had and include races that are not the same species, you could throw things like the Jinyu at the Pandaren. I would have said Hozen too, but the way their model is would prolly cause issues.
Bring back a threat of demons arising once more — Or better yet, the shackled prison planet of the Legion’s rebellious demons ‘Tarratus’ - Have escaped with the fall of the Legion & are now wreaking havoc across cosmos for their own invidual plans outside of the Legion.
Bring back the relevance & significance of both Warlocks and Demon Hunters once more.
Additionally, we could reveal some human / elf halfbloods, born from Felblood elf lineage You could weave some really cool stories there & even introduce some new heroes!
People still dunk on mechagnomes to this day, and right now they’re dunking on earthen for being another type of dwarf. I highly doubt that adding another gnome allied race and putting it on the Horde would go over well with anyone other than a few hardcore Forsaken fans who remember the few times they were shown having leper gnomes as lab assistants. Meanwhile, everyone else would complain that they should’ve just been gnome barber options and whine about ogres getting snubbed for a niche race again.
One of these is just swapping the human models that worgen use with night elf models and probably making the worgen model night elf-colored, and the other is completely pleonastic.
What other classes would scythe worgen even have? Worgen and night elves already share every class except for DH, and they’ll likely both get access to paladins and shaman in TWW or Midnight. No need for another new version of a race to do something that the first version can’t.
No. No single race should be able to look like any race, and if the decision to not give dracthyr 50+ visage options is any indication, that won’t happen.
Why the hell would the Alliance get this race when the Horde allied with a group of them back in Nazjatar?
Did you read the first line of this post? It’s about balancing out the fact that dwarves got two. If that’s weird, then give the others two. If they’re allied races, so what? Let there be more and put them under a clickable tab.
Why would that mean you only swap out their models without any creative additions you could add more than that. And there could be more classes for the same reason human worgen have multiple classes, they got cursed by the druids against their will.
Jeez you’re fun. Honestly I was just talking about a race that represents ghosts, in whatever form that takes.
To have a race to swap to balance out the faction swap from before. 2. They wouldn’t get along with goblins. 3. They would get along with a lot of the alliance. 4. Could be a connection to a Jinyu/Ankoan core race (with their own original models pls) that would def be alliance. 5. Doesn’t have to, these could be the next neutral race so the new blood elf one could focus on the Horde.
I can already hear the puns. Please no…I beg of you no.
you could add more than that. And there could be more classes for the same reason human worgen have multiple classes, they got cursed by the druids against their will.
