Lightforged Draenei need something more - Wings maybe?

[MayhemPenguin]

Tiefling says hi. (Plus: most cloven/hoofed demons with horns, or Satyrs.)

You I like

[Aeula]

They’ve got plenty that make them unique. My Draenei Warrior will be becoming Lightforged for those epic beards and the floating mark of the naaru on their heads.

[Mask]

The problem is not how they look. It is that they, like the Void Elves are such a shallow, loreless and tacked on invention. There would be like 100 LFD and 20 VE in all of the warcraft universe which feels wrongly small for an entire "race."

Blizzard Developers in 2007: There aren't enough high elves left on Azeroth for us to make that a player race. They are just too rare and it would break lore if players could choose them.

Blizzard Developers in 2017: Hold my beer.

Wouldn't they be more like Aasimar?

A magical space/time bubble held them locked away until the day they were needed. The day when subs began to drop and fanservice was the only savior!

But those are all demonic.

The Draenei are holy/light tieflings.

Lightforged draenei are lackluster to say the least. There has to be more than options that could've been added in the barber shop.

So far, there isn’t much that distinguishes them from the current draenei race and that makes them bland.

[Beloren]

Longer tails, sharper, more exotic facial features, maybe clawed fingers. They wouldn't really hammer home the holy aspect, but they would more so touch on the "these are draenei that remained on and around Argus rather than developing further on Draenor" notion.

Nothing will do that more than Wings. Angel ones. Claws is more a demonic /monster thing, we’ve got to think Light/holy etc vein and something distinctive enough to affect silhouette. Void elves at least get the void swirl thing in combat when doing certain abilities.

Highmountain Tauren say hi.

They have enough to distinguish them, and were it not for the fact i'm more interested in making a void elf, I'd totally make one.

Though if I go horde, given my proclivity towards tanks, I'm definitely making a high mountain warrior.

**Edit: My only complaint about them are their racials, which seem very lackluster.

[Beloren]

LFD are literally reforged by the light. Why would they have features like clawed fingers?

thank you. Exactly my thoughts.

And they should be called Eredar. And they’ve not been on Argus persay

[Florena]

Why would they be called eredar?

[Doffen]

Well they got big boobs. Thats enough.

This is absolutely the biggest issue I have with Void Elves. At least they started to add in a bit how they 'originated' and why they were thrown out but... yeah, should've just not been playable. x_x

Wing also part of demonic, dragon, birdlike, batlike and other creatures. this is first. Second - Wing mainly used for flying. Developing them without this is... pointless? And making race who can fly by itself without mount... well - you understand that other races (especialy Horde) will go apes after that? thing like wings is really complicated for this game (it's not aion). Third - LFD used exoskeletons for flying. not their wings. So why exactly they must sprout them now?

Look. I undestand that you really want wings. But really LFD never showed affinity for them more than paladins during their "Avenging Wrath". It's just not logical.

Oh and even more - i am not sure that there is "angels" in this game. We have Light creatures - naaru, and they are totaly not angels. Okay we have Valkyre, but they were created by the titans, not naaru.

[digichi]

But they have greyish skintones, tattoos bigger beards and permanent naaru brands on their heads

this^

i get the argument that a more unique silhouette would make them cooler and probs more desirable to play (im going highmountain for the horns myself), but
they're still getting some cool options as it is.

If ppl wanted to change the silhouette, they could maybe add customizable tails and add the option to add extra gold plating on the hooves/horns (kind of how the nightbourne earrings have some options to basically cover their ears with metal. Pre cool).

[Dyra]

I kind of see where OP is coming from. I could imagine a LFD with delicate Naaru-style tracery of faint light appearing around them at random times around them rather than actual wings though.

Sadly though, all they have is the forehead mark. Though, if you really want wings during BL (or heroism since they're alliance scum), make a ret paladin. XD

[plz delete account]

My irrational and unwavering hatred of the Draenei says they should get nothing ever and be ignored. Bloody Draenei.

You just crossed a terrible threshold.

I would love something angel version of the demon wings - i'm thinking on some of the Valkyr, but Draenei appropriate.

That's irrelevant though, I said light/angel and angel in the sense that it's opposite to demon, demon has scaly scary leathery wings, angel versions are glorious, radiant light filled - it's in that respect.

[Cosmic Janitor]

Lightforged Draenei seem a bit excessive. Like, draenei are already Naaru and Light oriented. Lightforge is like "yo dawg I hear you like light."

Maybe a comparison is draenei are to space marines like lightforged are to grey knights

Were grey knights these OP plot armor troups from that almost universally hated writer?

Shouldn't they be Lightforged Eredar?

[BuckSparkles]

No I meant as in space marines were already loyal and devout to the emprah, but grey knights were like, super uber fanatically devout and loyal.

As I said, draenei are already light oriented. lightforged seems redudant.
