I couldn't agree more on this. I was quite miffed to learn Nightborne were Horde locked after everything I did to help them.Wain wrote:Since the ‘allied races’ are going to be single-faction I would have preferred they started with the partisan races we already recruited to our sides through the length of WoW history. I don’t really have a problem with neutral races picking sides, as long as they weren’t ones that players of both factions established good relations with in the course of the story. Otherwise, no matter which side is chosen, half of the characters are going to witness the races that they quested for, became exalted with, became the most important contact on Azeroth for, suddenly choose the other faction and become hostile to them. I think it’s a nonsensical change in plot unless there are compelling story reasons behind it, and I feel that “We need to balance out this allied race concept” isn’t a compelling story reason. Hence I think Nightborne are one of the worst choices. The void elves and lightforged draenei will certainly add interesting looks but I think they feel pretty contrived in order to make everything racially balanced.
I feel like Blizzard have made their mind up on this, and that, at this point, it's not a mistake that they're needing to fix. 7.3.5, to the best of my knowledge, releases with Antorus, and Antorus releases next reset. If we are getting a revamped levelling system and (as many people suspect and I'm really hoping) four of the six allied races they've currently given us in 7.3.5, it's way too late to suddenly change an entire questline and selling point :')Teigan wrote:It's wishful thinking, but I wonder if there is any chance Blizz might see the error of their ways where the Nightborne are concerned?
Not going to lie, this immediately caught my eye because I'm 100% biased towards dragons. I do have to ask, though, who are the Dragonsworn? I can't say I've ever heard of them/remember them, and I'm thinking they're like the actual dragons in lore and are able to shapeshift - but I may be getting the wrong idea with that.Valnaaros wrote: If thr leaks are to be believed, then Dragonsworn may become a playable race in BfA.
Everquest has both Gnomes. Halflings and Dwarfs. Haflings are almost a model of the halflings in the shire.. they got fuzzy feetsValnaaros wrote: Going off Tarnfalk's list:
Dark Elves are basically Nightborne/Kaldorei
Wood Elves are Kaldorei
Half Elves would be neat. Would be cool to have a real half elf model.
Barbarians exists in various groups, like Orcs and Stromgardians.
Halflings are similar to Gnomes and Dwarves, imo.
A lizard race would be cool. I have always liked the idea of a reptillian or insectoid race.
Saberon are a cat race. Whether we ever get them or not depends on whether we venture back to Draenor, I would think.
Haven't seen any frog people, but could just be a matter of time.
Kobolds might be interesting.
If thr leaks are to be believed, then Dragonsworn may become a playable race in BfA.
For Ogres, I think many would prefer that they get the full playable race treatment.
