Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

people still thinking vulpera isn't going to be a neutral race and thinking sethrak will be the opposing faction's answer to vulpera

[Hugnomo]

I really hope the Alliance ends up getting Sethrak as an allied race. It would be totally refreshing and interesting.

Me too! And it'd give the alliance some purpose in going to Voldun (since we already know they go there).

Just a genuine question, the Allied Races so far have been based off a skeleton of another race. What would Sethrak be based off of?

I think based off the worgen ones.

Some of the animations seem to have come from the female worgen, but there are some female pandaren animations too I think.

[Rukario]

Honestly, at this point, I've lost all interest in playing the game (although, in an effort to feed my addiction, I still post here). It would be nice to play as an ogre, but at this rate, it'll never happen.

We have never been closer to playable ogres.

I feel like a lot of it comes from female worgen indeed.

I should’ve saved that thread that explained how they do their model design now.

Whatever skeleton this is https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QIRX_D57QgE

Also I’m pretty sure everything is under one moldable “skeleton” at this point

Female worgen, female draenei, and a mix of pandaren animations

Sethrak have enough life in them to be a race all their own, but if being an Allied Race gives us a chance of getting them before 9.0 I'm all for that label

Blizzard hates neutral Pandaren in hindsight, I can't imagine a world where they'd say that and then repeat the process with another race.

[Shampro]

I mean, the people hoping for Sethrak are better off hoping for Tuskar or something. Sethrak are slavers who have the Vulpera under thier thumb, are allied with a General of of the Sand Trolls (Don't remember his name but he appears briefly in Zuldazar). Vulpera being a neutral allied race has x10 more basis and chance of happening than Sethrak, they can make it work by have it like some of them accepting the help of the Horde and others of the Alliance.

This is ofcourse, if it even happens, aside from thier range in custumization, nothing of the sort has been said. At the first sight of some sort of Heritage Armor then that's another story.

Literally only Ghostcrawler said something to in this remark and he hasn't worked for Blizzard for years now.

[Erolian]

Go kill M Argus.

Tried. Didn't work

Servers down yet?

Nope. Might not be today.

It's a universal skeleton. But they use animations done for other races so they don't have to produce new animations (they're a load of work that's easily avoided by matching a pre-existing animation that "fits" the new model). Vulpera uses goblin animations for example.

The only reason they gave the Alliance fat humans was so they could use em to make Ogres. I bet you within two expansions they will be playable.

There's a confirmed good faction of Sethrak though, plus a reputation we earn with them. Wouldn't be any more farfetched than what happened with the Nightborne starting out with rebels against the mainstream, taking it over, and causing race-wide reforms before joining a faction "redeemed".

It's still early no?

I doubt it will be a neutral race but it's not a hill I'll die on.
