Was a good story, but detroyed my hopes dagran will turn out like his famous ancestors one day.
I don't think we will get one today. They pushed back the warband conversion testing to today so they probably concentrate on this first. It would be nice if we get both though
I mean if they’re not going to play TWW just because they don’t like Earthen, chances are they wouldn’t play it anyways.
Fair, but you will still get Earthen, Dracthyr expanded classes, and Harronir. (And possible a 3rd hidden allied race but who know)
Any clues as to when PTR will be up today? Really want to get on and get a feel for some of the reworks.
A new race can bring a retired player back into the game, or bring new players to the game who might give WoW a try since said new race is now available. I'm also sure there's plenty of retired WoW players who will give WoW another spin once they introduce hotly desired races like Ogres, Arakkoas, and/or Naga.
The real problem here is that the term "allied race" immediately conjures up memories of BFA where 10 Allied Races were eventually available. Having only one known AR in TWW and that being the main feature of the new expansion is pathetic, no matter how much you try to spin it.

Dracthyr getting expanded classes shouldn't be considered a feature for TWW, and Harronir have not been confirmed as a AR.
You're spinning falsehoods here.
yeah i mean this might be true but it's also not really reflected in BFA when they added a shit ton of allied races. theres a discussion to be had of making completely new non-variant races as an allied race, sure, but that's never really been a thing for allied races. historically they've all been variants of existing races.
and as for new races, things like pandaren and dracthyr doesn't seem to have captivated people either. so it's kinda just speculation to assume a brand new race like the ones you listed would bring people back
yeah thats sorta my point, right. i dont think we saw any substantial growth after they added those races in BFA (atleast according to that sub graph + subsequent analysis). Im not against them experimenting and adding completely new races, i just dont view it as a surefire success, if that makes sense

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Do you have any examples of this being the case, or are you just saying things?
I’ve never seen anyone come back to the game solely because of a new race. (Which sub data tends to back up from historically added races)
Dracthyr getting expanded classes is very much a feature, despite how heavily your opinions against such a thing are.Dracthyr getting expanded classes shouldn't be considered a feature for TWW, and Harronir have not been confirmed as a AR.

Harronir are all but confirmed. They’ve got a myriad of customization options, moreso than any non-playable race that’s been introduced. Plus why else would they show them off in the announcement trailer alongside the playable Earthen?
totally agreed, and i dont necessarily think they've done that either. If the harronir end up being a playable race (which is likely imo) I think thats a pretty good stab at a new-ish race. assuming the datamined customizations are accurate they do have a lot of unique 3d assets on them, unlike say zandalari trolls vs regular trolls which just have a bulkier frame, and essentially some new tattoos
I did because of Pandaren (I had quit after WoltK). My Pandaren was my main until the Evoker class.
Interesting, because it wasn't listed as a feature in any of TWW's trailers. Even Blizzard knows that announcing that as a feature is scraping the bottom of the barrel.Dracthyr getting expanded classes is very much a feature, despite how heavily your opinions against such a thing are.
All-but confirmed still means NOT confirmed. I remember when Tuskarr were all but confirmed, and we never got them.Harronir are all but confirmed.

Where did I say they should add 6 more ARs?
2 new ARs would be better than the one we're currently receiving.
So you left after Wotlk, but didn’t come back during Cata when they added two new races.
But did come back in the expansion they added a new class?
Curious.
Because it isn’t coming at launch. During any announcement, have they ever listed expansion features that came after launch? They didn’t for Augmentation Evokers.Interesting, because it wasn't listed as a feature in any of TWW's trailers.

I can sit here and say “oh the goblin raid/patch wasn’t listed as a feature because they know it’s scraping the bottom of the barrel”
Rich coming from someone who says “UNDERMINE TINKERS CONFIRMED” every expac.All-but confirmed still means NOT confirmed. I remember when Tuskarr were all but confirmed, and we never got them.
Or who said TWW would be an elemental xpac & the stormrider mount was a elemental that we saw in storm peaks.
Tuskaar didn’t have any real customization options, nor armor rigging, nor player animations.
This is just another Vulpera situation of an unannounced AR.

Which we are most likely getting 1-2 new ARs through the course of TWW, so problem solved?
