Warlords of Draenor: Playable Races?

[Deleted]

Yaungol are pretty cool IMO.
Taunka... well, no.

I'd play as this:

That Candlekeeper Yaungol looks rather unimpressive compared to the Kilnmaster.

If they do Add new races i hope to GOD they dont cave in to the mountains of fan boys, pleading for High elves...

I agree with this more than anything; 100% accurate.

My opinion though: I'd honestly just like them to update all the player models instead of just throwing us new races.

Ogre for the Horde.
High Elves for the Alliance.

I'm going to say that Ogre for the Horde is a 75% chance, and High-elves are about a 55% chance, with 20% of that chance being Half-Elves. I would say 10% Chance of Naga, Bird People, and a 5% chance of Mushroom People.

fucking ogres sadly. srsly if its ogres, it wil fucking suck and i will be SO MAAAAAAAAd!!!!! :@@@@@@@@@@@@@ horde never gets awesome chars

I'd be so happy if we didn't have another fatass race after pandarens. So please if we get Ogres can we get some mildly in shape ogres?

This! Cho-Gall-like ogres! I might not have minded ogres if it weren't for the pandas. I'd much rather see sub-race options than any new races, though. Like Maghar/Fel Orcs, Leper/Mecha Gnomes, Taunka and Yaungol, Earthen/Iron Dwarves, Fel Belfs (if you remember sunwell), Amani Trolls, Gilgoblins (would love this!). Of course, I'd much rather see the old models updated before anything else, but it shouldn't be a feature of the next expansion.

MOP broke the pattern by adding both a new race and class in the same expansion. So we really don't know what they have planned until they make an announcement.

If we must have new races, I would love to see pretty much anything NOT high elves or half elves. Give us something new and interesting, not more of the same old same.

How do you not like this?

Naga and Night Elves may not get along, but the Naga are no more responsible for the war of the ancients affair than the Highborne, and Tyrande has already accepted them back in.

A Naga faction is a lot more likely to be able to negotiate an Alliance with the Night Elves, than they are with the current Horde, consider that Vol'jin is warchief, and Naga have tried to wipe his tribe out twice now, as well as being responsible for his father's death.

Honestly given their past experiences, I think they'd be more prone to try to ally with the Blood Elves & Horde.

Since the Blood Elves likely are distant cousins 20 times removed to the Naga, and Vashj/Kael.

That looks fucking incredible and I would transfer all my toons Horde if that happened.

Ogres are great as a class to bring the Horde back to a more tribal feeling. And with Vol'jin likely putting inclusivity as a major goal, could easilly be lore'd in.

[Snorri]

If it takes place on Draenor then it's a good moment to introduce ogres to horde.

[Gheld]

New playable races make no sense for an expac involving time travelling.

Because that would just completely destroy history.

Is that an Ogre DK?

Is that an Ogre DK?

Yep. Done by an amazing artist, Chris Rahn. I actually saw this painting in person and it's incredible. Was for the WoW TCG:

Yeah i like many others really dont think there will be any new races this go around. We had TBC add 2 races(with expanded on shaman/pala across factions), LK add new class, Cata add new races, mop add class and race, so think with 5 new races added since start, and 2 new classes...

Classes generally take longer because of the polishing needed to make sure they aren't horribly UP or OP.

If the Horde gets Ogres, I'll so play horde. Ogres are like onions...

[jasanova]

i am done with night elves blood elves high elves surprise us

[proteen]

I really hope there isn't an ogre race ever added to the game. They'd be hella goofy looking imo. My expectation is that there will be no new races/classes, such that they can focus on updating current models. Polish.
