Future playable races.what do you thing we'll see from now on?

[lopus]

murlocs! XD if they ever make murlocs playable for the horde i think i would start playing horde just to be a murloc

also i would love if either Furbolg or Quilboar were playable

Following Blizzard's current trend for Xpacs.

80-85 = 2 new races

85 - 90 = new hero class

90 - 95 = 2 new races

95 - 199 = new hero class


80-85 is alread Goblins and Worgen.

It is pretty much a given Ogres are coming to the horde after that, which leaves Furbolgs/Pandaren for alliance.

There will be no other races added after that.

new classes will eventually be Demon Hunter (last expansion to fight Sargeras), and probably brewmaster since it is one of the more popular and fits the much needed leather/mail 3rd class spot.

After having seen that epic pic, I got more faith in Pandaren.
Pandaren Shaman would be really cool, and Pandaren Warrior because of their Samurai similarities.

[Dacia Ultan]

So Blizz's concept of the pandaren haven't change (the proof is Sam's most recent pandaren artwork and the action figure) since 2003 I gotta ask: when did Blizzard considered making them samurai?

WCIII beta. Compare this to this.

As for what the Alliance should get to counterbalance them? I still say naga or arakkoa.

Come on now this is such a poor samurai resemblance, nothing so serious to even be taken as a slight insult. Tbh the blademaster in WC3 is what I call a samurai. But lets drop it already, seems like a problem long solved. China is China and I don't wanna go any deeper into their understandings, I love Pandas as they are and if they ever go live in WoW there will be joygasm that's all.

I don't know what faction, but after playing WC3 recently - Naga.

They could bring some interesting things to the table, although the water-based xpac is the one we're about to see...

Potential Classes:
-Shaman
-Mage
-Warrior
-Hunter
-NOT Death Knight
-Bard
-Priest
-Druid (Form of a... FISH SNAKE!)

It is a problem long solved, and was only ever a "China is China" issue in the first place.

However, you wouldn't know from how many people keep saying "hurr durr China sez no" whenever anyone mentions pandaren. Now, I can understand not liking pandaren—on the same level I can understand fanboying them—but China is a dead issue and has been such since WCIII beta, and using it as an excuse is worthy of this:



Besides, they could easily reskin them for the Chinese market.

Magnataur for Horde
Bog Beast for Alliance

Yes it is turning into a freak show. Continue please.

Arakkoa, dammit.

Arakkoa, dammit.

K but what is so cool about them?

K but what is so cool about them?

They're avian... and I've never seen a playable avian race in an MMO. It would be refreshing--like how I thought undead and minotaur were refreshing race choices when I first started to play WoW.

IMO, Naga for Horde and Arakkoa for Alliance in the next expansion that releases races.

Although, I have reason to hope for dragon-people in the near future. Won't state those reasons here, though.

[Iroar]

I want this thread as a playable race.

Hell, you hardly ever see playable avian races in RPGs at all. (A few editions of D&D did—and Pathfinder followed in their footsteps by adding tengu, which are actually kind of like arakkoa—but they're still not that common.)

IMO, Naga for Horde and Arakkoa for Alliance in the next expansion that releases races.

Could work.

I'm more or less okay with anything that's not goddamn murlocs, although there are some races that I think would actually be problematic.

I'm curious about those Tol'vir guys. Could they fit Alliance or the fact that are made of stone excludes them for being a playable race? Also are they the ones with egypt theme?
