I am happy that Wildhammer dwarves and the High elves are at least possible as costumisation options…
As AR they would be amazing

I like, anything to get an extra bag slot empty is good in my books. 
I’d wait to see what they say on the 9th on that. In my eyes they are still a very possible AR. Or customization for The army of the light.

Core race ideas would include;
Ogres (a racial button that allows them to shrink to enter smaller spaces)
Rajani Mogu (maybe give them a knockback similar to kultiran, but with those cool indicating lines)
A surrok type of Lizard-man (with a blink type move or frenzy racial)
Tuskarr (perhaps with an increased swimming speed, fishing expertise and crazy frost resistance)

Oh yeah, ogre’s needs to be playable. I always thought the horde is incomplete without them.
Hmmm… What faction do you beleive they would go? I would also inquire if there is any lore ideas of where they can bring females into population since they do not naturally have a female population.
We can also bring up kazanite to make saurok more intellegent to bring them playable in my mind lol. But yeah we could use lizards and bird people to diversify things a bit.
I can beleive it can be done in the same vein as pandaren as a neutral race. It is diffenetly a highly requested for sure.

Purely out of greed, I’d want them in the horde and one may argue that mogu traditionally had an alliance with the zandalari.
But I have a dim view of those who bring up alliances that happened long ago.
I could see them being neutral. Imagine all the colors they could be!

But anyways back on topic subject on wildhammers. Most races has a racial that effects professions. I personally can’t think of much besides herbalism, but I doubt that would suit them. What do you think their profession racial would be?

Not entirely sure. Leatherworking makes the most sense in my mind. I think in Vanilla a Wildhammer was one of the special teachers? Not sure I’m remembering that right… That was a long time ago for me.
I wouldn’t know, I never really took up leatherworking personally. What is the hunter lore with wildhammers?

Sounds redundant to me. Just have more racial options for the base dwarf? And add racials like the zandalari where you can pick.

I’d rather the zandalari keep that one for unique-ness. It’s what makes them special ya know?

Forest trolls and ogres for Horde, high elves and Wildhammer for Alliance. They make the factions feel much more complete and help a lot with identity. I know at least some here know my stance on forest trolls so I’ll hold off for now ;(
Send Bazgak some love, he’s awesome in the race request community, and he made a thread for saurok. Lots of great ideas there on how they could become playable. If you think you have some new ideas, send them his way. He’ll go bananas and talk your ears off, it’s great.

OP, you gotta leave a little mystery in the discussion, not just ‘‘convince me otherwise’’… it’s a very trendy thing to do for lazy people in arguments it seems that just want echo chambers.
AR’s should of just been customization options that you’d unlock some other … more logical way to the story.
AR’s just take up space now lol.

The whole expansion is about personal choices. If they added racials based of the new customization to choose from that would be better. And they can always add more loa racials for Zandalari to keep them unique. Humans sort of had it when they could pick there secondary stats. Goblins sort of have it as there rocket and rocket jump share the same cooldown for example.
Well horde don’t have the burly troll build yet, so I’d keep requesting for it.
I’ll give it a visit.
I can understand that. But in order for other races to get that treatment re balancing and allot of dev time would end up having to be used. Time from other races, other customizations. I’d rather they focus on customizations/races then to rebalance racials.

As far as we know, the skin isn’t even on the way, a lot of people think it is since the Wowhead datamining post used one to show off female war paints. If you look at datamined playable skins, there’s no forest troll skin, and another dataminer said she’s found no evidence we’ll get them as playable.
The bulky build is preferable, but use who want forest trolls will take a skin on the normal troll build over none at all any day. I made a thread regarding my stance on forest trolls so I won’t retype it all. We get sand and presumably dark trolls, who could easily make sense with some lore, but not the trolls who have a history with the Horde, have been in the modern Horde since Classic and are loyal to the grave. It makes no sense.

They’re more in tune with their environment than most dwarves, and make use of the things they hunt and kill supposedly. So I think it fits a bit. Making use of the leathers of the wolves and fallen gryphons in their armor and such. They do supposedly have good hunters, warriors, and shaman among their number.
I like what Krutz and Ayala were mentioning in that regard. Where you can pick a Wildhammer set of racials instead of the IF dwarf ones.
The Zandalari one is unique and based on which loa they choose to follow. I think they should keep that sort of thing.
Oh that would feel so good.
Feel free to go off.
I appreciate your input.
Bagzak deserves all the love! I hope he gets his Ogres and his Saurok someday!

I think it will come one day. I think the amani may still be angry at the fact the horde attacked them and don’t know the zandalari joined with them. Maybe one day after the time skip we’ll get a short and they will be playable. Many options is still there.
Then a leatherworking/skinning would suit them well.
Occurs to me that they actually wear armor with feathers on it a lot too. So they’re probably harvesting the lost feathers of their gryphons and the Wildkin wandering the area.
Not really most racials are balanced around 1%-2% outputs. So again its not a big deal. And making a reskin for some visual procs could work too such as maybe making stoneform turn into stormform for example.
