Unoffical Playable Sethrak Discussion Thread

[Chichacha-emerald-dream]

Jinyu first.

Then Kyrian and Venthyr.

Oh, and ogres IMMEDIATELY into the Horde.

Naga and Centaur somewhere in there also.

THEN Sethrak.

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

Don’t really understand the folk who make posts like this.

Glad you want Jinyu. Go support them in their thread. No need to put other threads for other AR down.

The Ankoan and Jinyu Race Discussion Thread

[image] Well, it’s time. Ever since the previews for patch 8.2 were released there has been sporadic discussion here and there regarding, quite possibly, one of the more interesting races yet introduced; the Ankoan. This thread is all about those crazy fish folk, and its creation is aimed to accomplish a few key objectives. Document everything currently known about the Ankoan race and continue to provide updates as more information is released. Gi…

Playable Covenant Races

Playable Covenant Races I wanted to create a thread to discuss the possibility of playable covenant races. In this thread I’ll list possible options for each covenant along with classes and abilities. Feel free to add additional ideas. Why would the covenant races be a good playable option for players? First, their models are amazing. It’s unfortunate when new races are created, with a variety of options, but aren’t accessible for players. Some of these races would fulfill the fantasy of pl…

The Unofficial Stonemaul Ogre Playable Race Discussion Megathread!

Welcome to the Unofficial Stonemaul Ogre Playable Race Discussion Megathread! [image] Note: The image here was used with Glyph of Disguise with an Elixir of Giant Growth. It is not a size I expect playable Ogres to be. I just think it looks pretty awesome at this size. Update 5/6/22: Adding Crol’ka as a possible leader in the leaders section. Don’t know who he is? Check there to find out! The purpose of this thread is to collect ideas and suggest…

Fraid you’ll need to make your own for Naga and centaur. Haven’t come across any active for years.

Sethrak for the players!

This is Nad by the way. For some reason I cannot switch to my other toons. xD

There is some sort of bug on the forums where upon logging in, there is a chance only your Classic characters show up with your Retail characters completely missing. It happens to me on occasions.

In order to fix this, from my experience, I have to log out of the forums and login again. It will have logged me back into a WotLK character each time, in which I go to “Change Character” (click the character mugshot in the top right corner, it’ll be at the bottom of the drop-down menu) to see if my Retail characters appear again.

If they show up on that list, I can log back into the forums as a Retail character. Otherwise, I log back out of the forums and then login again and repeat the process until my Retail characters are back on that Change Character menu. Sometimes I only have to do it once, while other times it takes two or more logins. It’s an annoying issue that has been lasting for a few weeks.

Hope that helps!

@Bahiga-sulfuras

I got Covid AGAIN

I’m sorry to hear that. Please get plenty of rest and I hope you get better ASAP.

@Bahiga-sulfuras

life has been busy.

Mine has been getting more busy as well, and likely may get even more busy next year. RL can be very demanding at times for better or worse.

Let’s get some more reptiles on that character creation screen!

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

That trick seemed to work.

And I am better from the acute infection. But this time around I seem to have more lingering side effects from having had it.

@Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord

I don’t think that alone counts it out, nor do I think shes referring to all Refti but rather the ones serving alongside her there.

I found a Refti in Gladiator’s Refuge in Valdrakken and he is male. However, the poor dude doesn’t even have a name.

[Skycaller-wyrmrest-accord]

No new about sethrak or any refti link so far on the new PTR either.
On another note the trading post is heavily bugged so I have to wait using it before it gets fixed.

[Valloryan-skullcrusher]

Why can’t they release the sethrak as playable race even with transmog limitations like they did with the dracthyr and work on that part later ? Would you guys be ok with that?

[Idofix-dalaran]

Honestly, Sethrak look a lot better than Evoker. I think both of them use the female worgen model, but Sethrak look like their own thing while Evoker… not so much.

PS: I really like OP’s post and love for detail, however I would prefer seeing them as neutral (like all races at this point) instead of Alliance only. Sick and tired of the separation regarding races.

They don’t need any restrictions. Wowhead proved an age ago they work fine.

[Favi-burning-blade (Favi)]

I had a dream… , “Tell them about your dream”

I had a dream that Sethrak were made playable characters, so that children and could play together as not just stakes with legs, but snakes with proper transmog!

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

I’m guessing that was a typo but now I’m imagining stakes with legs.

Sethrak for the players!

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

I don’t think they need restrictions but I’d take them with them.

I care very little at this point in HOW I get my darn snake people.

I just want them.

[Elysele-pagle]

Bumping.

Give us Sethrak now please.

[Modoryn-agamaggan]

@Elysele-pagle

I was forwarded to this thread (thank you, Fenelon).

I want playable Sethrak on the Alliance. Or neutral. In fact I think blizz will likely make them neutral seeing how popular they are on both factions and how sethrak as a race has enough reasons to join any of the two factions.

With the devs relaxing the faction mentality, I could see them being neutral.

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

While I still want to see two separate factions for a “neutral” Sethrak, it would be great to see the Devoted just choose to be neutral.

[Bagzak-rexxar]

I strongly feel, in my own personal opinion, that playable Sethrak would be best if they were neutral. Especially nowadays, given the direction factions have been going.

Ever since BfA, there have been strong supporters for Sethrak on both factions that have been particularly vocal compared to other playable race requests. I feel that putting them on just one faction, no matter which one, would likely cause a lot of people to more or less sound like Donald Duck on a caffeine binge that hasn’t eaten breakfast yet.

There is precedence for Sethrak to be neutral, given they have worked with both factions. Granted, they have more closer ties with the Horde, but there is still some ties with the Alliance. Making them neutral I think would please more people in the long run.

If that did happen, I’d happily make my Sethrak character Horde, since it is my preferred faction. I’m sure plenty of others would be happy to make Sethrak on their preferred faction as well.

But in the meantime, I do feel that Sethrak are one of the few races that would do much better as a neutral race as opposed to being on just one faction. It just makes the most sense to me for storyline, gameplay, and marketing reasons.

Do you think Sethrak without hood could be acceptable for you?

Yes, we have Refti on this picture (“Sethrak without hood”) but are you ok with playable Sethrak without a hood (and of course without the horns)?

[Skycaller-wyrmrest-accord]

@Mianyaue-moon-guard

Do you think Sethrak without hood could be acceptable for you?

Personally, I’m not a big fan of the refti, they’re just another branch of titan constructs completely separate from the snakes in vol’dun we love. I also think the hood is a big part of the charm and much cooler than the horns.

While I do like the hoods, I could see there being non-hooded options. More options is always a plus!

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

@Mianyaue-moon-guard

I don’t care for the Refti.

If they turned out to be pre-curse of flesh Sethrak I’d buy that.

The concept that Tyr sent some of his Refti to Vol’dun cause they were affected by the curse and to have them guard the seal makes sense to me.

But for me it must be Sethrak. I do expect hoodless options though.

[Skycaller-wyrmrest-accord]

@Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord

The concept that Tyr sent some of his Refti to Vol’dun cause they were affected by the curse and to have them guard the seal makes sense to me.

I personally heavily dislike this, mainly because we already have a lot of titanforged races and I don’t see the point of making the sethrak one as well. At best it’s just slapping on the generic titanforged background on them. “Oh we did titanforged stuff but curse of flesh happened!” which I frankly find boring after we’ve gotten that so many times. Then there’s also the timeline issue since the sethrak was already established 16k years ago which would place them way before any other titanforged afflicted by the curse of flesh.
