Furbolgs are future Alliance race?

[Deleted]

Id rather not have another anthromorphic race put into the game. I am cool With Tauren because they are minotaur and a staple of high fantasy. Worgen are essentially were wolves and that is fine too. Beyond that over stylized anthromorphic races need to just go away because they truly feel like the developers stopped trying to be creative.

I am still hoping to see Vrykul as a playable race cause WoW needs a race of playable semi-giants

yep because Humans, small Humans, smaller Humans and metrosexual Humans is not enough so we need big Humans over another anthropomorphic animals.

High Elfs are coming to the Alliance sometime sooner or later. It's only a matter of time. People are too invested in them not to be.

lol this has to be a joke.
Comparing minotaurs and werewolves to bouncy fat piece of shit pandas. Two of those have been part of fantasy settings for a pretty long time and one of them is just a shitty fursona for some fat guy and his kid.

Werebears, your entire rant has just been debunked.

That doesn't make sense.... why wouldn't they create new races like the Arakkoa (Bird races have been in fantasy themes for a long time now) playable? That doesn't show a lack of creativity at all.

Are you trying to claim that pandaren or furbolgs are werebears? Because I have yet to see any sort of neat transformation like the worgens get. All I saw were shitty beer jokes and fortune cookie wisdom.

I don't think either of those races are werebears. Even trying to label a pandaren as a werebear is an insult to lycanthropes everywhere.

The fact that a form similar to that of werebears (Both Furbolgs and Pandaren) exist in the game should be good enough. They can't steal every little detail from other fantasy titles.

As others have said. They need to come up with something new and original and most importantly for me RELEVANT TO THE STORY.

Why on earth should the Furbolgs suddenly emerge as a playable race?. Because YOLO?

Imo, i'd much rather a logical step to be sub races like forest trolls, or earthen dwarves...even playable High Elves for the Alliance, Manari Eredar for the Horde etc, inb4 blah blah Manari are evil burning legion, im sure like the current playable Death Knights, a group of enlightened Eredar can get together and realise what they are doing is wrong and join the Horde etc.

[Putin-Chan]

Furbolgs and pandaren are like trolls and NEs, practically the same except one is savage looking

If I had to choose I'd definitely want High Elves over Furbolg...

Given a choice just between those two - I'd agree. The HElfs have a ready made story waiting for it - creating their new nation, uniting the factions, choosing a leader - while the Furbolgs main storyline (corruption) is already amalgamated into the NElfs story (but could be expanded with a definite cure). other than that, they are both members of the Alliance, albeit both through other members, they are both of a racial type already represented, and they both fill much, if not all, of the criteria of a main race.

But it's not just between those two.

Why not something different? The Mountain Giants have been allies of the Night Elves for a long time, why not something more... elemental? Golem or Earthen maybe? They don't have to look like the current models, maybe there are more "humanoid" versions that are just deep underground. There are plenty of planes of existence out there in the Warcraft universe to pull unique races from. Heck, what if there are some demon out there who aren't aligned with the legion? It would fit like the Blood Elves do in the Horde, an alliance out of necessity. It would make as much sense as Naga or Satyr.

I'd rather have another elf race (high elves) than more animalistic races. Although, i truly hope one day Blizz adds a new dragon-like race (ala D&D's Dragonborn) and have it be neutral to be fair with both factions.

I personally don't think neutrality really worked that well. It was an interesting experiment with the Pandaren, but if keeping faction identity means developing two sets of models - one per faction - anyway, there isn't really much point.

Drakonid could work as a race though. However - most probably wouldn't want the blacks and only the Bronzes would true neutrals.

If I could choose between the fish, bear, seal and bird i'd go for the seal. Still, WoW is becoming a zoo if they add more animals as playable race.

So another hairless primate race then? But tuskarr would be a pretty decent neutral race. I'd totally role tuskarr druid/Death knight......a saber-tooth fishing cat and a polar bear

[Expersona]

Fuck no they're ugly as shit

[Fahrenheit]

Might be one of the worst choices possible as a player race. Them and sorry ass high elves. How about some thing new and intriguing. Not another bear man, no more elves.

These are some very creative and awesome ideas, Charo.

The possibility of seeing any of them is probably slim to none, but damn they'd be unique and fun to boot. I just know Blizzard will go with another elf race or "no new race this expansion folks, but Demon Hunters are now playable!"
