I think we have enough elves already.
I would like dryad/ forest nymph for alliance and ogre for horde.

I just wanna play with Vrykuls. The Valajar ones have plenty of reasons do join Alliance, thanks to Sylvannas and Helya.

Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, DK, Warlock, Priest and Paladin (yes, they have strong conection with the light, thanks to Eyir, the valkir queen).

Maybe some kind of Undead? Blue team needs more zombies.

Sethrak or Furbolg would make my day for the Alliance.

Ethereals are pretty neat too…

Or Jinyu…

I want a lot of races…

It’s only the Kul Tirans, they’re the only allied race that was fully built from scratch. Even if the zandalari pretty much uses new animations it’s an altered troll rig according to the devs, which we can also see since porting skin textures between the zandalari and regular trolls works very well.

Agreed. The last thing I want is another “human” race while Horde gets stuff like Vulpera.

That’s the price you pay for being Alliance. Sad but true.

Is this another dumb thread where “no one plays on my trash server so obviously no one plays anywhere” ?

I’m not even going to read this garbage but you do realize 3 of the Hordes AR’s are reskins, right?

Nightborne, Highmountain and Mag’har orcs are reskins if you’re calling Mechagnomes, Void Elves, Lightforged Dranei and Dark Iron reskins.

Also, what an absolutely stupid thing to complain about. These are people who have been in the storyline for longer than you’ve likely been alive, some of them like the High Elves, Kul Tirans, Dark Iron dwarves, Mag’har orcs.

I say there aren’t enough copypastas. Though realistically, Wildhammer dwarves should have been an option and not Dark Iron, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever given the years alliance players spent absolutely cleansing them.

The problem with Kul Tirans isn’t that they’re “unattractive.” The problem is that they literally copy-pasted the Tauren animations and slapped them on “fat humans” that not only don’t look anything like any Kul Tiran in the game has ever looked, but also don’t look anything like a single NPC in Kul Tiras - their own homeland - except for Lady Ashvane.

That whole “Alliance racials is bad” argument is hilariously ignorant too. Brush it off is excellent as is haymaker, and brush it off procs literally nonstop. Light’s Judgement is a killer move for Lightforged, regardless of class. Gift of the Naaru? Stoneborn? Forge of Light? Dungeon Delver?

Yea, it’d be cool for Alliance to get a berserk racial which only Horde has, but let’s maybe not pretend alliance racials aren’t great.

High Elves became a thing in Warcraft 2, actually.

Mag’har Orcs were highly requested and came also with the straight-back option which is very popular with the Orc-players. Nightborne and HMT enjoy being a well remembered race because we all leveled with them. Legion is, in general, remembered as one of the better expansions which factors into the sentiment people have for them.

Void Elves were a great concept but given that they have absolute no storyline and come out of nowhere, they are simply a replacement race for the Alliance High Elves/Silver Covenant. The Lightforged Draenei are boring clones with just one storyline during Argus and Dark Iron Dwarves fall under the prestige races which the Alliance has rallied in the past.

You need to read the books to get the current situation: All of the three dwarf races have a reason why they should occupy a race slot.

Most of the talents are for defense which cannot compete with the Orc and Troll ones which still do more damage than anything else according to some sims people have posted. The best solution would be to reduce their damage numbers.

A dragon race if they had pretty features/options.

I think Drakonid would be a good option for the next Alliance race.

Arakkoa - standard type - should be a glyph for moonkin form. Adherent type should be a druid flight form glyph. Saberons were previously a feral talent and should be a feral glyph.

I just don’t want another “sub-species” of already existing races. Allied races are a chance for the developers to branch out from the traditional norms for a faction and give them something unique.

  • That make sense?

Quel’Dorei, Wildhammer clan

  • That can make sense?

Jinyu, ankoan, furbolgs (Stillpine most likely), dryad/keeper of the grove.

  • That couuuuuuuuuuld make sense?

Any goblin cartel other than Bilgewater, Sethrak.

  • That don’t make sense?

I’d love to play Ethereal…I mean it’d be way too fartetched to have void elves contacts call upon them, as ethereals still wouldnt have any business with us other than…well, business. But I’d just love to play them xD.

  • That make below absolute zero sense?

Murlocs, Gnolls.

EDIT:

  • That make sense but likely wouldnt be popular:

Stromgarde humans

  • That don’t make sense and likely wouldn’t be popular:

Alteraci humans…though those could be Horde too , who knows.
