What customization options do you expect for Draenei and Orcs?

[Fetus Rex]

You think there is a fucking chance for Eredar and Fel Orcs? Because what else? Shattered Hand would be great too but nothing can beat red.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Personally I would never want demons (Eredar) to ever be playable. It would go against everything the Draenei have fought for.

[Nathanyel]

Well, as far as we know, these are still in the villain camp. However, most Fel Orcs were in the service of Illidan, bringing his DH disciples into the player factions could also bring the Fel Orcs into the Horde, and some speculative Man'ari Eredar of the Illidari into the Alliance.

Would need some lore bend though to justify Shamans, Paladins and Priests. Maybe some cleansing that removes most of their Fel corruption, but doesn't affect the skin changes that happened.

Realistically, I expect a grey skin color option for Orcs to resemble MU Blackrock, lighter, more ashen than the dark Blackrock skin for AU Mag'har, and/or with green hints.
For Draenei, more facial variation, mostly via the tentacles. Can't think of non-Eredar skin color options, but more hues are always possible.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

For draenei, I'd like to see either the Broken as an "allied" race. The Krokul from Argus model looks much better than the old TBC models:



(TBC Broken)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Krokul from Argus)


In terms of just cosmetic customizations for playable draenei, I don't think there really is anything else other than new skin colors, horns, and hair that would be refreshing and new.


Orcs have a lot more to offer in terms of new customization. People are still wanting certain skin colors and "clan patterns" from Draenor orc clans that are not present in Mag'har orc customizations.

[Oswen]

I expect Dragonmaw skins for orcs, they make sense just as much as Wildhammer dwarves do.
For Draenei I think they will go the boring route with crystals and a few more face/hair option in general, it would be amazing to have Broken as an option but I really can't see them meshing that well with Draenei voiceovers and racials.

Well, technically Wildhammer dwarves don't make sense either with Bronzebeard voices/heritage armor/racials but noone cares too much about them I guess.

Have you forgotten about Lothraxion?

[Oakshana]

Well, draenei ARE Eredar. But I suspect you mean the Sargerai demonic draenei.

No. Both of those appearance options are evil & demonic. Stop pushing for things that don't make sense because you want edgey shit.

Lothraxion is the exception to the rule. The HUGE exception.

Do I think there is a chance? Yea, I do... about the same level that Frosty the Snowman would have in surviving a Blast Furnace.

They would be perfect Horde race. After all, they are exactly like elves.

[Razion]

Well, if they're getting Eredar and Fel Orcs, they'll need Demon Hunter skins, because, well, obviously.

[matrix123mko]

Draenei: longer beards and huge tails

Orcs: tribe tattoos and some additional fel corruption(not skin colour) options for warlocks.

[Maxilian]

As many others, i expect Dragonmaw skin options and tattoos for Orcs, also i expect Chaos Orcs (basically Red Orcs, there's a couple of those in the Dark Portal working for the Horde), now things i want for Orcs:

-Tattoos of all the different clans, and some extra tattoos of no expecific asociation.

-Fel Orc costumization, full with the back spines, bigger tusks, more demonic faces, horns and arm spikes. (Yeah, this is not happening)

Draneai:

-More Horns, including bigger and more intricate ones

-Bigger tails, and, in general, options for this

Note: Also more beards for both races and, in case of Draneais, more tentacles

Eredar are Eredar. Draenei call them Man'ari.

Draenei fought for peace. They would love to live alongside their red cousins.

That's fucking right. Chaos Orcs rule.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Fel orcs and Man'ari eredar are most certainly not happening, lol.

[3DTyrant]

No clue for Draenei, but I'd love to see piercings and tattoos for Orcs

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Have you forgotten about Lothraxion?

He was part of the Army of the Light, not the main Draenei faction that we're talking about.

Draenei fought for peace. They would love to live alongside their red cousins.

They fought to stay pure, to not give in to demon influence. Any Eredar should be outcasts and killed on sight for them.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Nope.


They fought for survival.


You seem to be either forgetting -- or completely ignoring -- the fact that the Man'ari eredar and their masters hunted down the draenei for many, many, many years. Demons turned their fellow brethren into demons. Why would the draenei want to align with demons after they hunted them down, slaughtered them, forced them to flee across the universe, destroyed their home planet, and much more?


I'm all for the "rule of cool" to step over lore reasons in some cases, but this would make no sense. None whatsoever.

[avitush]

Broken draenei, maybe? Although I can't recall ever seeing any female Broken models (unless I just missed that or don't remember it), so I guess the art team would have to work on that. Although I kinda feel like that ship has already sailed, more than once. If playable Broken were ever going to be a thing, it probably should've happened in WoD. Now that I think about it, that could've been a cool thing in an expansion that desperately needed all the help it could get.

Fel orcs would be cool, but unlikely to ever happen, I think. They'd be too mentally unstable, even for the Horde (which is saying a lot, but yeah, I think they would be) unless we had some story about how they've learned to control themselves.

[Mad_Murdock]

Lothraxion is the exception to the rule. The HUGE exception.

So were Panda death knights, but look what we have coming in 8.3. Stop hating change just because you want to be edgy shit.

[Nathanyel]

Broken could happen if their models were reshaped to the Draenei skeleton, making it basically a different head, hands and not-hooves. And speaking of different heads, Taunka for Tauren? Would need a distinct female variant though, currently all female Taunka look just like Tauren.

Regarding Heritage Armor and 'cousin' races, this could probably fixed with some alternate textures/colors, if you chose that customization. Maybe different shoulder models, see Dwarf/Tauren ones.
