Oh, I certainly agree that pre-existing assets are a lot easier than building a new race essentially from scratch, which is why we got these guys here.
Right?
But more seriously, I’m aware why ogres aren’t being added at this moment, but Wildhammer and high elves are or already have been.
But you could say the same with adding forest troll skins, since a unique green skin for them already exists on the updated playable model used by Darkspear.
But I’d rather that all these races should be added as separate races, or in the case all of them minus ogres, I would certainly take sub-race provided a proper system is added. But on no day of the week will I take nothing ever over just the skin even without the proper stuff like unique druid forms and class options added.
That’s speaking realistically for modern day at least. When we look at this from the past, there’s not a good reason as to why ogres haven’t been added yet. All recycled arguments people use against them (most notably the ‘not in Horde’, ‘too big’, ‘no one will play them because ugly’) have all been proven incorrect or are just opinions rather than proper arguments. I feel the same about the other races.
I can’t tell if you don’t know there’s forest trolls who aren’t Amani, or if you’re specifically asking for Amani.
In the former case, there’s numerous other forest troll tribes, most notably the Revantusk, who’ve been with the Horde since Classic.
In the latter case, you should ask for Amani alongside Revantusk.
If this refers to a proper sub-race system as I mentioned above, then I’d love that. If it’s just customization with headcannon, I’ll only take that if Blizzard comes out and says we’re never going to get a sub-race system or proper race for forest trolls.
If we’re going the sub-race route, we might as well add all trolls under a single troll race, rather than keep the Darkspear and Zandalari completely separate as we are now.
With that out of the way, sorry if some of this ends up not really being clear, I’m not in a mood to agonize over every bit of wording to make sure there’s no holes in what I’m saying like I ordinarily do.
Also, my sub ends in a little under nine hours, so if I end up unable to respond, you can see my full thoughts on the forest troll ordeal here.
