Hard agree, very hard.
I haven’t kept up too much lately, but I remember when the high elf skins for void elves started. There was some female BE poster that would do exactly as you described above, that felt like the worst lol.
And Worgen shaman, please blizzo.
My first real orc was a death knight (she was my usual Horde main, though now I’m trying a Zandalari paladin for size), so I was born too edgy for school.
I also survived the great flood of testosterone crazed male orc warriors of Cata and MOP, and for a certain chunk of that I was fulltime Horde.
My point is that I have felt the edginess of orcs in my heart AND THERE IS ROOM FOR YET A LITTLE MORE. Yet a little more that is red. With spikes.
I still don’t like that on Alliance only a human, Draenei, or dwarf can be a Paladin.
But on the horde like practically every race can be a Shaman.
LFD is a victim of Blizzard trying to stick way too hard to one theme which is light in this case. The army of the light is supposed to be a military force that has fought the Legion for thousands of years. You would think they would pick up a few tricks hunting the legion across the universe. Interacting with Spirit and Elementals for example doesn’t seem that far fetched after that much time. Worgen and Goblins are just because and it really sucks.
Blueside also badly needs more druid options. I’m actually a bit surprised they didn’t make mechagnome tech druids a thing, but Bliz does sometimes arbitrarily hate fun. Still only leaves us with 3 druid options on Blue, which is light. Need a few more…
Like. Say. Wildhammer?
I wouldn’t mind gnome and worgen paladins tbh. (oh and night elf)
Also
Expand priest and mage to all races
Currently the only races that can’t be mage are tauren and HMT
And priest is HMT and orcs
Mage seems like it should just be a given to all races
And as for priest, both races have lore for their priests, it’s already used by the AR or CR equivelent
Also, HMT paladins
Bear form is simply a keg. The true brewmaster has arrived.
-Drake No-
-Drake Yes-
Dwarves.
If they’re not going to give me proper Wildhammer they can at least give me druids for Dwarves.
All of this. All of it.
Zuro for Game director.
Just realized that this got derailed to space and back. Woops lol.
Blizzard should’ve properly added Wildhammer along with Revantusk a long time ago and done it with druids for both
They’re the perfect race pair on several levels
Eh, let it.
Nothing wrong with going off script for awhile if everyones enjoying themselves.
Gnomes and Goblins. They are too short to be prepared.
I mean, if people want to take that logic, than the vast majority of posts against this whole concept are from the same group. There’s more individuals accounts who have posted for it than against, and even more so if you count places outside these forums - which is a known cesspit in the MMORPG community.
A group that trolls and derails is just a step below the alt thing.
I could easily just link these threads across multiple discords and ask people to upvote them, but I haven’t. Although I’ll admit it’s been tempting lately.
I don’t disagree. I remember when before skin tones were announced there used to be a lot of new high elf threads being made by new posters, and people were telling them to keep it to the one mega thread. People were memeing “there must always be a high elf thread”, that’s how bad it got at one point.
It’s almost like it’s never going to stop until the playerbase gets the thing they asked for like the other faction seems to keep getting. Or at least, a good number of the requests. Literally the only two major requests I haven’t seen the Horde get are Ogres (wtf) and San’layn (which got rejected in BFA).
The rest are more niche than the NPC race that’s been a part of the franchise since WC2 and still have prominent NPCs shoved in our faces constantly.
Apart from there is no lore to say Void Elves are a different race, which means Void Elves are also Blood Elves/High Elves, just with a different name. You got to understand this Lann, just because you disagree with what people are saying, doesn’t mean it isn’t lore or fact.
Void Elves are not thousands of generations apart from the Blood Elves or High Elves. And it isn’t the Void Magic that changed them. Umbric and his followers were the only Void Elves that were changed, but that was from the Void Etherals. If it wasn’t for Alleria Windrunner, Umbric and his followers would’ve been turned into Void Etherals.
And remember, Alleria is a Void Elf too. And all those High Elf Wayfarers and Silvermoon Scholars we see, they are there studying on Void under the eye of Alleria, so they don’t fall under the same fate Umbric went through.
Me simple orc
Me have giant club
Me want smash Alliance
But me no can play ogre
??
Horde should get ogres, though.
And some form of the two mostly unique undead spins on blood elves.
Granted, with Nathanos and the kaldorei dark rangers, they’re not so unique any more. But still.
It’s heartbreaking, really.
I often wonder what the game would be like if it were Blood Elves and Ogres back in TBC.
Or if the Forsaken and Blood Elves were their own faction or something back in Vanilla. (Seriously neither of those races ever felt right on the Horde.)
So much drama avoided.
So much right in the world.
Revantusk.
Long requested group.
I’d toss Taunka up too along with Grimtotem since I saw those back in Wrath and Vanilla respectively.
