Allied Races Wanted = Ogres + Vrykuls

[Deleted]

Instead of Vrykuls I would prefer Kul'Tirans

Ogres should come, but Sethrak should come even more.

[Benomatic]

Why do people who complain about ogres being too large, forget that there are ogres in game in similar size to tauren.

People have wanted ogres since Vanilla and vrykul since Wrath, I'm not against Tirasian monster hunter-types humans and sethrak, but Blizzard should prioritize the most requested races first imo.

Besides, the Horde is fighting the sethrak in Vol'dun, it's far more likely that vulpera will be playable for the Horde.

[Sencha]

Two of these races are very popular

Very popular for you?

[Techno-Druid]

i agree, i could sooner see Mok'Nathal as an allied race than the ogres, ogres are just too big for doors

In-game a lot of ogres are, but in lore male ogres are only 8ft tall on average with females being a foot shorter.

Lorewise, tauren are like 3 metres tall... so I don't see any reason as to why ogres couldn't have playable models that are about the size of tauren

[MrDragon]

Also the perfect excuse to give us more insight into Ogre culture, dating back to the Gorian Empire which seems almost tailor-made as a story element to make us reconsider the "Ogres are stupid" thing. Imperator Mar'Gok was eloquent, intelligent and incredibly powerful for example.

I will say though, now I also kind of want Ogron... I miss you Blook, you were one of my favorite followers....

You are perfectly right, brother, but I think that newest additions to the Allied Races roster shall hail from the new zones. Vulpera? Do you mean fox like vermin? I hope it won't be the case. Young Empire of Sethrak people shall see through their misguided ways and join red banners!

If the announced allies races showed us anything it is that they aren't going to invest the time to create completely new models they are simply going to reuse and reskin wht already exists, add a small twist, and good racials. There is no way they are going to invest in creating Ogres as playable.

Except the Nightborne and Zandalari models are completely new models that do not share any textures or meshes with existing races. Go compare the Night Elf, Nightborn NPCs on live and Nightborn race on WoWhead's modelviewer, you will see they are 3 completely distinct models.

Heck there is a thread on this very forum complaining that the Nightborn player model completely ruins their identity compared to their NPC model counterparts.

Edit: according to Villager720 the player PC nightborn model is a copy (though then a slightly warped one from the original I'd say due to minor differences.) So that is just 2 distinct models.
The Zandalari point however still stands.

Oh I had thought the NB were the same? Guess I need to see side by sides. Anyhow, I want a hozen to play with some sort of fling scat racial so I can make a rogue hozen named Rkelly and run around smacking allys in the bank with dook.

Edit: But just the female Gnomes. Don't judge me.

Cause they’re copied Night Elf models with new textures and a new idle stance.

I want Tormmok and Blook to come through the Dark Portal and join the Horde. Tormmok is an experienced veteran so he could definitely rally the Stonemaul and Dunemaul ogres to war and Blook can carry crates and smash stuff.

BTW, I think it would be cool if the ogres had a city or at least a port like the goblins do in Dustwallow Marsh or Dire Maul. Something like Highmaul mixed with the Free Cities from GoT.

Wealthy high ogres walking around proudly in elaborate robes with ogrons carrying massive crates with various brutish stonemasons and craftsman. Maybe even a few half-ogres and Blackrock orcs living in the city.

The Horde lacks a metallurgical race and the ogres could definitely fill that void...

My apologies then if that is the case, I assumed because of the differences in ear geometry and chin size they were completely unique.
(Nightborne ears slant up while Night Elf ears slant down for example.)

Also remember these bad boys?



Ogres made the original Juggernaughts and considering we're taking a battle to the sea, why aren't we using them?

Blizzard did a replication in WoD but that was it... and it was orc made.



We need Ogre Juggernaughts again!

OP didn't spell Vulpera correctly either time, weird.

[Darktbs]

Allied Races Wanted and that matter = Naga

Ogres, vrykul and vulpera ftw!

EDIT: And furbolgs, give me my badass bear warriors!

Racial Ability: Crawl
Shrinks hit box to fit through doors

That seems a little broken in PvP.
