When Patch 9.0 releases, could we get a new allied race? Yes and I can speculate!
There will be undead invasions like in the old Wrath videos all over the world. Glares at N’Zoth. This will probably attract the attention of the native factions! I mean who wouldn’t notice the sudden undead marauding? I’m of course referring to the Frostborn and the Taunka from the Storm Peaks.
Frost Dwarves will share Dwarf animations, and they can whip up Taunka animation similar to the Tauren’s. The races may be unlocked by players who gain Exalted with the Frostborn or the Taunka, earn the achievement “The Summit of Storm Peaks”.
Can’t they venture out with us and rejoin the Alliance and Horde for the next Warcraft saga? Then now I say . . . probably not since that would’ve been one of the main expansion headlines. All of what we know, though, is ground for them to still show up! I bet we’ll at least see quests Muradin and Baine help defend the homes of the Frostborn and Taunka, respectively. Do you guys want to see Taunka and Frost Dwarf allied races, still?
No. Dwarves and tauren already got their allied races, plus frost dwarves and taunka are kinda already in their respective factions, so we don’t need to earn each other’s trust like we did with every other allied race. Also, taunka males have outdated models with heads that look incompatible with every helmet while their females are the exact same as female tauren.
You can’t use this argument since it was the same situation with the Dark Iron dwarves and the Frostwolf orcs…
Roll a dwarf DK, put on the pale white skin option, and stay specced as Frost. That’s practically a Frostborn warrior right there.
Nothing would be a bigger buzzkill than Tauren MkIII hairier yet. HMT should have been a customization option and never been a race. There will be the exact same classes with the taunka as HMT. There won’t be rogues, warlocks, mage, priest, or paladin. So why would taunka be worth making? Oh but wait, instead of versatility that you get on HMT you now get FrOsT ReSiSt - which I think I haven’t been hit by frost damage out of PvP in 10 years.
I can already be a frost dwarf with a toy. So this race is stupid too.
Frostborn should be a customization option for Dwarves in Shadowlands since all that changes is their skin colour.
Taunka have different heads so they definitely should be an AR if they are made to be playable.
Frost Dwarves would be great.
The Thunder Bluff Tauren aren’t the same guys as the Thunder Totem ones. Though, they’re also adding Wildhammer tattoos to the Ironforge dwarves, so I digress. Maybe the logic is there are Wildhammer dwarves living in Ironforge? Also, Frost resist would be meta against all the new death knights!
No really? You don’t say. I thought I might have known that by saying
Horde will get Ethereals. Alliance will get void-mecha-lightforged-kul-tiran-worgens.
I don’t know what MkIII stands for
Think of it as 3.0
Is this a clever troll?
nah I legit didn’t know xD
Remember back when the most requested new race/class was a Pandaren brewmaster? And how did that work out?
Yup, most post on the forums about new races were about Pandaren. And when they finally were playable, must of us were “nah fam”. I was one of those who wanted a pandaren since I started playing. Disliked a lot their models in WoW, the WC3 ones were way cuter.
Oh well, I am playing a monk.
I don’t think so. First, Taunka don’t have female skins yet (they just use default Tauren models for female Taunka). And secondly, Tauren and dwarves have already gotten allied races that are directly connected to them.
