Unoffical Playable Sethrak Discussion Thread

No need to apologise, please just take it easy and have plenty of rest and just recover :grin:, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year aswell!.

I’ve been active in the forums suggesting Sethrak and Ogres in many race discussions! (Ofcourse with the added Wildhammer Clan Allied Race and playable Tuskarr :sweat_smile:), but in all seriousness, Sethrak needs to be playable, WoW needs fresh races, unique races.

I’ll keep up my crusade in this, Sethrak for Horde or Alliance, heck make them neutral for all I care, just get them in here.

I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. Please take as much time and rest as you need. This megathread will still be here when you’re ready to come back to it. With all the Sethrak supporters, they’ll be happy to keep the lights on for you while you’re getting better. :smiley:

Let’s get some reptiles on that character creation screen! :snake: :crocodile: :turtle:

I need to get back on and do this.

I actually missed last month now I think on it. Too down about WoW of late.

Oh! I hope you recover quickly and without lasting effects!

Be well and take all the time you need.

I love Ogres. Bagzak got me into them.

Wildhammer really should have been their own AR. I’m so bummed they weren’t. And Tuskarr I think would make a lot of people happy.

Old Gods I hope its neutral…

Officially unplayable.

You’re right, as long as the Sethrak aren’t a playable race WoW is officially unplayable.

It’s a shame really.

Sethrak for the players!

I don’t think snake people would do very well in a snowy cold climate.

A playable race should be able to survive in any weather.

Azeroth is a world of magic and fantasy, just let them throw on some clothes and it should be fine. There have been so many more outlandish things than reptiles living in snowy areas.

Sethrak life is like rolling out of bed for work on a Saturday.

Then none of them work.

They’d all freeze without assistance.

Humans freeze really easy.

Also since no one can survive Vashj’ir unassisted they all don’t work a second time.

What a very limited viewpoint.

Also when it comes to weather, I really don’t see that as a factor that should affect whether a race should become playable or not.

I mean, we see people running around with barely anything on in Northrend without turning into a Popsicle when it’s suppose to be a harsh environment that is colder than a banker’s heart. I’ve also seen games where reptilian races run around just fine in such environments, like Iksar on Velious in Everquest 1 and 2 or Argonians in various Elder Scrolls games.

Not to mention that we go to places right near lava, which technically should either knock us out from the fumes or completely burn us up with how close we are to it. Besides, Azeroth is a place where magic is plentiful, and I’m sure there could be spells or magical items that could be explained to keep people of various races warm or cool, depending on the environment.

Weather shouldn’t really be a factor when considering new playable races. Especially since there is quite a bit of nonsensical things that happen in the game of all sorts. So seeing something like Sethrak or Saurok running around Northrend without getting a severe case of frostbite shouldn’t really be a problem.

You’d be surprised at what snakes and reptiles in general can handle. There are a few species that live in the Arctic Circle.

Cold/Winter does not necessarily equal death.

And plus, fantasy world as people have said. :woman_shrugging:

:snake::pray:

Also thanks for the well wishes all of you. I feel much better now. (And turns out they weren’t sure it was Covid or not. :sweat_smile: :upside_down_face:)

I actually meant to share this but hadn’t had much time to get on the forums.

xD

So, thank you for having a good eye!

Nothing to report for Sethrak in 9.2 so far. But I wasn’t expecting it.

Does anyone remember when they had Sethrak npcs datamined for 8.3? I do. But they were scrapped.

Scrapped or just not yet used?

:stuck_out_tongue:

I have faith that blizzard is at least aware of the request and hopefully they’ll add many of the races people have been requesting these last few years.

Hope we hear something about the new expansion soon and how it adds every race we’ve all been requesting… And more.

Sethrak need to be playable, along with several others I can think of, including things that aren’t even a concept yet. It’s time for Blizz to start cranking out some options!

Sethrak were a popular hope from folks as playable in BfA. As we can see here and on other media, the passion for these neat snakemen is still there. Many have lost hope for the game, but I believe that adding in community wants like this will restore trust and bring some great unique flavors to the game. Will they be the solution to everything? No, of course not. Will they make people happy and get people possibly interested in the game again, especially paired with others or more customization? Of course.

I think Blizzard should look into community wants like Sethrak. I for one would roll one if I ever returned to the game.

I agree. Perhaps with Microsofts recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard we’ll see more willingness to actually add such races.

For those who haven’t seen it yet…

Wont probably see much real change till June 2023 but its something.

I have some hope that maybe we’ll at least get more communication overall and be heard a little more.

Sethrak for the players!

With how much they spent purchasing Acti-Blizz, I sure hope they will put effort into WoW and other Blizzard games.

You don’t drop that kind of money, just to scrap or liquidate.

Cautiously optimistic.

As always, playable Sethrak please!

Sure hope we continue to see them in the future.

:pray: :snake:
