    Horde Will we ever have a Dire Troll option

    Okay, the Orcs have gotten their straight backs, but unfortunately their is lore preventing the same for Darkspear, but I'm pretty sure I'm definitely not the only one who would play Dire Trolls if they were available, I mean just look at them
    Though it should be noted that their not all that big, I'd say if they were made an option, they'd be about the size of a Tauren
    Why, would we be able to play a Dire Troll you may ask, well from what I understand, Dire Trolls can potentially be born that way, though some become like this through magical or alchemical manipulation, I also should note that certain trolls can become Dire Trolls at will, so this is not something that can simply be an Allied Race
    If Blizz ever decided to give this to Trolls, I'm sure they'd be very popular if done right

    Edit; THIS IS A OPTION FOR REGULAR TROLLS, NOT AN ALLIED RACE

    I sadly think Dire trolls would be without many choices. Don't think there would be enough to connect them to.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    This is a big step for Warcraft porn

    They could easily be anything a regular Darkspear could be, if a the Tauren can be Priests and Paladins, Dire Trolls can be Shamans and Warlocks

    Wait what lore prevents the Darkspear from straightening their backs? Or was Dire Troll the "straight back" option?

    I've always seen Dire Trolls being abused as tools, the furthest I could see them would be non-resto option druid, Warriors, we see one with death knight abilities and maybe Enha shamans.

    Basically Zandalari are the only Trolls that have straight backs

    I don't know what you've seen but in lore, Dire Trolls are treated as equals among most troll tribes

    I'd play them. Magnificent beasts.

    This is probably the most positively received thread I've ever made *cries internally*

    a pretty good idea, though personally i'd argue for it being a toggle option like straight back orcs so we can intentionally avoid the class discussion already springing up. no need to make Dire Trolls an Allied Race, just a separate option.

    That's what I said, just make them an option for Darkspear Trolls

    Nothings happened in the thread for a while

    I think this would be a case of they'd need to be appearance-wise, physically changed a lot to become playable, removing a lot about what makes them cool, like "tailless naga"

    Honestly I would say not, the Dire Troll model (the male anyway) is much too bulky and if you scaled it to a player it'd look wrong because all players know Dire Trolls are the big bads and we look at their ankles, maybe waists for the slightly smaller ones who are regular mobs.
    When I was younger I used to hope bad things wouldn't happen.
    Now I just hope they're at least funny when they do.

    I'm theorizing they could be an option for Darkspear Troll

    They could merely just be shrunk down, the recent updated model is a good indicator of what it would look like

    All this and no love for the Revantusks, a tribe of muscular forest trolls already affiliated with the Horde and primed for induction as an allied race with their tribal grounds in the Hinterlands proving one of the last bastions of Horde territory in the Eastern Kingdoms?
    Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!

    after seeing that even classic servers happened anything is possible at this point

    And this highlights why I hate the Allied Race concept. From the beginning, this feature should have been nothing more than subraces with current ties to the Alliance and Horde (coupled with some neutral races).

    I really would love to play a Forest Troll. I just realised all of the races I want allied race versions of are already getting one. I am cursed forever.

    Lorewise Raventusk are already part of the Horde. And in BfA we are literally going to be fighting over the lands which they live.

    There's absolutely no correlation between female characters and female players.
