PERFECT, so beautiful

Someone pointed out that, of the Allied Races hinted at or datamined so far, we have 2 Alliance-oriented races (Jinyu, Broken) but no Horde.

Who do you think could be our 2for Horde if they do a pack of 4 in 11.0? I would like Ogres and Mogu personally (Hozen are too complicated unless they make them humanoid)

Yay, I am tangentially related to a feature on the train!

We do have the ogre/orc hybrid whose name escapes me. The one Rexxar is.

The Mok'nathal work as an AR (using Kul Tiran rig, and the Unmasked Rexxar model is incredible) but damn is it a half-measure for those who want Ogres.

I will admit Mok'nathal are a VERY good pair for the Broken. 2 Outland and 2 Pandaria races for max fanservice?

Mok'nathal. Ogre works for Horde, though I'm not sure Mogu or Hozen do, though each would match Jinyu's addition if you consider Ogre to be Broken's counterpart. I'm not sure what other options there are. Gilgoblins don't count I think

[Holdodlig]

I don't see why they need to increase the size of the continents though. If the issue is individual zones feeling too small then just remove the mountain boundaries between zones where it makes sense.

Because they'll probably keep using the Dragonriding. Kalimdor's cup made the world feel small and when you compare its scale to any new continent since Legion, it really feel small.

The game would benefit from a little upscale anyway. I mean, the size of Dun Morogh's borders is ridiculous. Ironforge needs to be in a giant mountain.

Mogu work through the Zandalari ties Horde now have, even though the Zandalari-allied Mogu were evil/not Rajani (who are very likely the basis for the race, if they were put in)

The tree should canonically be on the far right, similarly over the horizon. Literally unplayable.

(Also, if we are doing non-canonical placements, maybe add the sword somewhere.)

This is a good point. I'm not sure how I feel about the Mogu and adding another big hulking race to the Horde, but I'd love some additional dive into their racial characteristics and lore through a player character.

Although I hope the Broken hint leans towards racial skins i.e., Dwarves > Dark Iron, Ironforge Wildhammer; Draenei > Eredar, Lightbound, Man'ari, Broken; Orc > Azeroth, Mag'har; and so forth.

It's not that small. Individual zones are, sure. But that's not much different from dragonriding making the Green Dragonflight area of Ohn'ahra plains feel small, or making Valdrakken feel tiny.
Removing the zone boundaries to some extent would massively alleviate individual EK/Kalimdor feeling small, since you would mostly think of them as subareas of a larger zone.

You could use the Dragon Isles as a thought experiment for this. Just imagine that each zone is in fact two or three zones, each with its own specific look and feel.
Azure Span would be the forest area on one side, and the icy side on another. Thaldrazus would be the fortress on the southern end, the Titan area in the middle, and the Rocky area with the a ademy floating above on the north end.
If you then put giant wall between these area they would all feel small, but remove them and they would feel bigger.
For that matter, imagine if there were giant walls between the regular zone boundaries, rather than the gradual transitions.

In a world revamp with Dragonriding i have faith that the developers will consider the feel of the zones as you fly over them. Similar to how they redesigned the world to accommodate flying back in Cataclysm.

What sword?

Seriously tho, if the sword is there, what sword has to be there.

[Cheezits]

Although I hope the Broken hint leans towards racial skins i.e., Dwarves > Dark Iron, Ironforge Wildhammer; Draenei > Eredar, Lightbound, Man'ari, Broken; Orc > Azeroth, Mag'har; and so forth.

It's very possible, it just calls into question how they will rehaul racials (and if they do this system, will they add a shit ton more racials? Will they not do this because they would need to change racials? How would race changes work?)

[Fahrad Wagner]

idea: giant HD quel'serrar in place of the sword in silithus :3 @Arafal

Fine.

One more update before bed.

[Fahrad Wagner]

You've got Taylor Swift on there taking up more space than Thrall, Chris Metzen and the Sword of Sargeras combined, and you're worried (even /s) about the tree's location.

CAN WE MAKE GREEN JESUS LESS GHOST PLZ

Taylor Swift is a STAMPLE of the speculation thread, she's been on hype trains for YEARS!
