New Possible Player Race: Tree People? (From WoD Alpha Files)

The tree people have ALL of the animations used by players, even monk animations and emote animations.

Most notably, they have a looting animation. Only player races have such animations.

They don't appear to use a wire frame used by other player models, so it is definitely a 100% unique model.

Possible player race?

Propably a new druid form for $30

...Was not the point of the thread.

But a new tree form could certainly be a possibility, but that wouldn't explain the fact that it has monk animations, which Druids can't use.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

They use a modified Night Elf skeleton...so no.

[Sarcon]

No... If they add a new playable race it will be something the fans know. You think they would make up an entirely new race for the players to be before adding something they've been asking for for years? Ogres and Naga come to mind.

this. 10char

[Ostrich]

They share the same skeleton as the Zandalari trolls and Jinyu from MoP, which is a modified male NE skeleton. If you look at the loot, talk, cheer, etc animations they are the same as a male NEs. Only certain animations like walk, run, and death are different

[Val the Moofia Boss]

They have completely different death animations though.

This sounds about right to me.

[Verdugo]

Figures, it will be the one we will see the most when they will become quest fodder.

[roflwaffle]

dont they have the zandalari skeleton? and no they're not going to be a new playable race

[Mukor]

it becomes the new tree form, changing my druid's name to Groot.

Seems to me this could be a transformation effect on our toons. Hence the animations and all. Could be an item drop or could be a boss mechanic.

No.. It's just something new to kill..

They have the same death animation as the Zandalari Trolls. They share the same skeleton.

I doubt its a new race though I hoping it would be or at least a transformation effect rather than a new mob. I actually really love that skin and model.

You need to learn how to accept when someone pokes holes in your theories.

They're a different mesh on top of the Zandalari NPC model.

[Racthoh]

maybe it's like a costume/polymorph for a questing area.

[Deleted]

Nope, not at all. It's more likely that we'll be wrecking these soon-to-be-salads in this dungeon.





Unless of course it's occupied by someone else and they want us to retrieve it for them.

[MaccaBird]

It uses a slightly amended night elf male model, so it would have those animations (like looting). A lot of other models are like this (those fish people in Mop)
