[SPOILERS]: Draenor Orcs are coming to BfA

[upirlikhyi]

Ion Hazzikostas in his latest developer Q & A said that we'll go back to Draenor and recruit Orcs as an allied race. What are your thoughts?

I don't hear "possibly" here.

What did my parents do for fun in Garadar? I'll ask my 32 other brothers and sisters if they know.

They are in the graveyard. Go consult the spirits.

So we're going back to Outland?

THere are brown orcs in Outland, so we don't need to go to alternate Draenor. We just have to go to present day Outland

Are you dense? Draenor isn't Outland. We're not going to Outland.

Draenor Orc Classes:

Hunter
Warrior
Shaman
Rogue
Warlock

That's honestly all that'll probably be doable given the lore. But it wouldn't be unprecedented given the fact that Highmountain and Lightforged can only be five classes as well.

So assuming we make the mistake of recruiting AU Orcs instead of MU Mag'har (and it would be a massive mistake), I would scratch Warlock from that. The Iron Horde's position on Warlocks was pretty sour, and given the events of Tanaan & the Fel Iron Horde I can't really imagine that Fel magic came back in style following the dismantling of the Iron Horde.

In place of Warlocks, I'd add mage and priest. Priest is arguable, but given the void dabblings of the AU Shadowmoon Clan, I don't think it's out of the question. With regard to Mages, go look at the short story centering around Grom's coercion of Highmountain. He demanded Orcs be trained as magic breakers (Fel breaker specifically). Given that we know Orcs were apprenticing under magic-literate Ogres in Highmountain, I don't think AU Orc mages is much of a stretch.

Outland must surely have boiled away into space by now so it must mean we are getting Frostwolf and other WoD Orc clans that are still around and not Mag'har Orcs who i assume most died under Garrys leadership in the Siege of Org.

Isn't Outland what's left of Draenor in our timeline?

I bet my blue balls Draenor orcs can be priests.

Does this mean I will have to lvl up a new orc to get the heritage armor "Orc clan armor"??? -.-

Srsly I think Blizz fucked it up hard there... I don't want to lvl in your new slow fucking lvling world... I love the changes with the scaling zones and mobs with more armor/hp.
But the XP changes... FML

"Orcs from Draenor" Which Draenor?

[Deleted]

AU Draenor since MU Draenor is nowadays known as Outland.

You really are dense it seems.

You really are dense it seems.

Maybe you could explain it to him instead of being a douche

I hope these warsong orcs will be alliance, because thrall was rude to Grom and killed Garrosh. This is how it works in WoW.

That's some pretty visible salt.


They are already confirmed to be going Horde, wherever they are from.

[TriHard]

Draenor orcs means it will be different clans (as that one leak also told us), had he meant the brown orcs only then he would've said Mag'har.

Hellscream probably united the orc clans under 1 banner while Legion was going on.

[Shampro]

The Yrel fanboys are going to be salty if she doesn't come to Azeroth with the Orc Clans, I can see the complaints already.
