The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

Do we need an explanation on why there weren't any female Ogres?

We would rather need an explanation why suddenly ogres ARs are a thing, and why would Blizz deal with their model issues where other, much better candidates are available.

But at least ogres are less of a 3Head suggestion than centaurs from a week ago.

Zooming in, we notice that she has two eyes depending on the position of her nose and her eye. It's curious.

Nevermind, I checked and the ogres do have 2 eyes. In my head there was only one.

There are some ogres with one eye tho. For example, Cho'war the Pillager, and usually the second head of two-headed ogres have only one eye. You weren't far off.

I mean, Ogres should have been added back in Cata and the fact that we still don't have them is a disgrace tbh.

There is no model issue, other than "they are big" which is not a problem and never has been, seeing how there are toys that turn you into an ogre.

I wonder now how badly would armor pieces stretch on an ogre, especially belly area.

Kul'tirans already have it rough.

[draugril]

In fact, we were supposed to have ogres in Cataclysm. The only reason we didn't get them was that they didn't know what the females would look like. They don't have to justify why there were no females before, they can just add them back to the existing npc pool (like the new human customizations in Stormwind).

More specifically, they didn't know how to make them hot.

Female ogre spotted! Playable race incoming. (?)

I’d probably race change my mage to a two-headed ogre if we could play as one.

I still think the April Fools joke they did was unironically a good idea for introducing new players into the game. Not to mention the fun and hilarious gameplay that arose in HotS when they added Cho'gall.

Uh yeah? The entire game has had years without a single female Ogre in sight. There absolutely needs to be an explanation.

If they gonna implement fem ogres, doubt we will get any explanation. How would you explain it anyway, their absence since Warcraft 2? How come we went to their home world, raided their capital and still not a girl in sight?

Do we need one though?

It's not like nobody ever said there weren't any.

We didn't have female Tuskarr in Wrath either, or female Worgen before Cata.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

No need for female ogres. Single gender races are fine.

Single gender races are lazy and make no sense in most settings.

Yes, this mammal race with babies has no females.

Uuuh?

Lazy my ass. If something is not needed to be done then there is no point wasting resources. We went to ogre capital and back and at no point I heard "where the females at?". WoW still has a limited work force and time.

[Raetary]

Dire Maul had as many female Ogres as male ones.

There's Karrga, the Ogre woman from the Traveler books.
The one unnamed Ogre woman that was the wife to Tharg, the Ogre in Dustwallow. (though, she was dead)

And there's Ogrezonia.

There's a difference between not showing females because it's not worth it for what they are doing and not having females in the lore.

If there are playables ogres, not having females would absolutely be lazy.

Well then, it is good there are no playable ogres, right?

[Shadowferal]

You went from this;

To this?

Uuuh?

What? Are you having a problem picking a lane?
You either want reasons or you don't.
I'd want reasons myself, but then I also want the lore rewritten from the ground on up. Not likely to see either, much less playable ogres.

I think their point is that we don't need previously established female ogres for a playable race to have them.
That Blizzard should just handwave it away as 'they were always there, just not visually represented'

Not that Ogres should be gender locked.
