Would you play a furbolg?

[Techno-Druid]

anything thats a reskin with redundant animations is fuckin lame. Won't play.

It wouldn't be a reskin, it would have a completely different model just like Zandalari or vulpera.

[Immitis]

Maybe, if they used the proper Furbolg rigs rather than being copy-pasted onto Pandaren...
The Werebear head is not a Furbolg head by any stretch of the imagination. The Furbolg are not fat and bouncy.

oh my god so much skinnier

lemme guess though, even though furbolg were in the alliance and there were plenty for the lich king to raise they cant be death knights either because fuck me right?

Furbolgs should definitely have the option to be death knights, now that I think about it.

I have a feeling that the night elves are definitely being put on the back burner in BfA and much of there Highborne past has basically went into the Nightborne. Imo furbolgs—one of the kaldorei's closest and oldest allies—would make a great addition as an allied race as they work well off the the nelves and they are distinct enough to where players won't consider them another recolor. Furbolgs could really be something on the level of the Zandalari or vulpera (which aren't confirmed, but are sort of confirmed) in uniqueness and are a druidic race.

Animation-wise, they could probably use the pandaren or tauren rig with possibly a few unique animations similar to the vulpera /sleep or Zandalari /salute. I definitely feel like they should get somewhat of a cultural makeover as well (maybe Celtic or Sami-inspired).

Possible Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, Druid, Priest, Rogue, Monk

I wouldn't mind furbolgs since every race is suppose to introduce a allied race I'm betting its either furbolgs or dark trolls.

They'd have enough lore justification for it (being active in WC3).

The Alliance would probably get the Timbermaw, for that matter. Probably pissed off that the Horde is burning down the forests.... again.



Also I think the one thing that doesn't translate from Pandaren to Furbolg is the jiggly belly. If Blizz could make Furbolg animations not jiggle as much, it'd be accurate enough.

[Panquake]

Nah, they're pretty lame. Always being corrupted and shit.

Vulpera are just Goblins.

[Enrif]

Furbolgs would be an awesome allied race for the alliance, and such a perfect fit for a shaman race too, which other options, excepts wildhammers, don't really bring to the alliance

[Deleted]

They make sense for the alliance, I would have to see the updated model to see if I would play one though.

so should dark iron dwarves but blizz said that allied races wont be able to be death knights or demon hunters

[Techno-Druid]

Vulpera are just Goblins.

They use the goblin skeleton, but they have their own model.

[Jamukan]

definetly no

[Daedius]

Who wouldn't love running about as a bear with a pot belly !?

[frogger237]

If they based em off the Tauren or male worgen I think I'd play one.

[Cyero]

Yes. And it'll either use Pandaren as a base or not happen at all, that's the WoW we now live in. If you don't get a new model in 8.0 you're gonna be a player reskin if you become playable.

All I want is more druid races for the alliance! would be a nice change

Considering the Horde takes much of Kalimdor I could see the capital of furbolgs being Grizzlemaw in Grizzly Hills (maybe the questline and rep to ally with them requires bringing all the tribes together in Grizzlemaw. It would be cool if their druidic forms were based on arctic/boreal animals then.

Cat Form - Giant Lynx
Bear Form - Ursoc-blessed Bear
Travel Form - Mammoth
Flight Form - Hippogryph
Aquatic Form - Beluga Whale
Balance Form - Snowy Owl Moonkin

it would be ironic that a mammoth would be a fast way to travel but then again this is wow So I don't mind.

I love your idea!

[Ret4resto]

They need a new model, if blizz worked on their model I would play one

[DesMephisto]

Refuse to play them until Ogres are added.
