Which race would you like to see become playable in WoW?

DarkKnight · Jul 19, 2007

Drakonids are not the same as Half Dragons, there are some slight differences, wich I'm not going to state becouse I am lazy, And in WCIII humans have misshaped squares as hands, so whats the difference? and for neburians, a pants could cover the back body, and if you make a Nerubian mutate to a humanoid, you just have to erase the back body, rearange the legs and put everything a bit more Humanoid, so that it can walk straight, it doesn't fall over when it walks (wich means it has to have good feet, like ours but then a bit more Insect) The arms will be positioned from in front of the body to the side of the body (In the manner they are holding them) And voila, a mutated Nerubian humanoid.

Since when does the number of polygons on a model effect its lore and written depiction of its capability to hold weapons?

I figured if anyone was going to nitpick at a point I made, it was going to be about the "hands" thing. I don't know how a real nerubian looks, because i'm not a footman. I only know that the things on their arms do not look weapon friendly and the rest of the things I said.

DarkKnight · Jul 19, 2007

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/imag...t.com/info/underdev/1p11/roadtodamnation.html That is a Wow Nerubian, It doesn't look very weapon friendly indeed.. but if you add some more fingers (mutation?) it is, well, it is a undead nerubian ^^.

Drawn Concept art of Nerubians from Blizzard, even though it is outdated ><, which means they possibly can hold weapons.

Whaddya know. Anyhow, blizzard would have to make one hell of a stretch in gameplay to allow a six legged fatass to be played.

You give me an approval rep to say that? Grow up.

Mecheon · Jul 20, 2007

Nerubians can easily hold weapons

However, six-legged creatures cannot ride mounts intended for two-legged creatures, and therefore Nerubians will not be playable due to their inability to ride any mounts, including using flight paths

No, Blizzard is not going to "mutate" this race so they can suddenly ride mounts because that would be stupid and destroy half of what the race is liked for

DarkKnight · Jul 20, 2007

Hmm.. why wouldn't they be enabled to mount? some special magic/technologic/ancient racing cart ^^

donut3.5 · Jul 20, 2007

It would look like Spider on horse action. The 4 legs wouldn't be able to completely mount it.
Which I'm not denying would be sexy, but... Lets keep our fetishes aside.

How the heck is it going to mount a Gryphon or Wyvern then?

Yeah.

donut3.5 · Jul 20, 2007

Well Mecheon, he said with magics or racing carts.
Isn't it obvious;; they'll use magic to fly with the gryphons even though they can't use the magic that they don't even have to fly anyways, thus not needing a flying mount?
It's all right there if you read.

Kimbo · Jul 20, 2007

I bet dark hasnt even played wow...

DarkKnight · Jul 20, 2007

I have, altrough it was a private server... But I have played it... And why wouldn't it be able to mount? it can just clamp all of the legs around the mount.

Then how are they going to ride mounts of variable-sized chests? Have their legs dig through the internal organs of the mount in question?

Rui · Jul 20, 2007

And Nerubians are probably heavier than the other races. *thinks about Tauren*

Sgt. Johnson · Jul 20, 2007

They'll ride a giant ass gryphon or wyvern! jk

Kjiverx · Jul 20, 2007

They'll get their own mount. or they'll get plainsrunning or something. if you think blizzard is afraid of all-changing retcons, look again.

as to races, having belves would be nice.

DarkKnight · Jul 20, 2007

Hmm.. What if Nerubians get a own mount and flying mount?

Mecheon · Jul 21, 2007

DarkKnight said:

They won't. If they cannot ride bats, wyverns, gryphons or hippogryphs, the basic flying mounts in Alliance and Horde territory, they won't be playable

DarkKnight · Jul 21, 2007

Ok, but murlocs have a chance right?

THE_END · Jul 21, 2007

NO they do not
Why would they?
Are they intelligent..NO
They are enslaved by Naga for crying out loud
Sure they could twist the lore
And everyone would love it..I know I would

But then the whole unlimited water breathing time..etc come into play
So they def will not

Dionesiist · Jul 21, 2007

Hmm, they should make the lost ones playable! I mean, who can't love them ugly 'teef' and hunching and stuff

Or another, they should make abominations playable

... Abomination with a hat XD

donut3.5 · Jul 21, 2007

Aboms would be too fat to do anything.. heh, I could imagine one trying to mount a horse and crushing it flat.

They could give them a limited breathing time..10 min or so like UD
So they def could

Fixed

He just changed the Quote to say that it is possible to make murloc's, And I know a mount for them ^^ Snap dragons.

DarkKnight said:

As much as gnolls, ogres, and many other creep races.

Kimbo · Jul 22, 2007

Gnolls are actually quite intelligent but their animal instincts and brawls against eachother make them... stupid.

Hmm.. Murloc's can join the horde, Becouse the Horde don't have a small race yet. Hmm.. now we need a big race for the alliance ^^

Sgt. Johnson · Jul 22, 2007

Murlocs should goto alliance!

And I'm tired and don't even wanna try and find anything for that lawl...

MySpaceBarBroke · Jul 22, 2007

A small race? How about goblins? They were former members of the horde, and will add a techie race and a small race. They > Murlocs.

DarkKnight · Jul 22, 2007

Murlocs>Goblins... lol^^ but thats just a oppinion, and if they were former members of the horde, why did they left? if they left why would they want to return?

WowWiki said:
Goblins fought with the Horde in the Second War, but broke off when they realized that it's more profitable to work both sides. However, many goblins remember the fun of the Horde and are willing to lower mercenary prices to Thrall and his people. Goblins offer almost exclusive transport services for the Horde, whether in their steamboats or zeppelins. It is more likely that a team of goblin sappers, who take great pleasure in the chaos the Horde creates, will be found meshed into Horde forces, rather than those of the Alliance.HPG 190 Many goblins can still be seen in Orgrimmar, Ashenvale and Camp Mojache.

They have a larger chance than murlocs joining, anyhow, and High Tech Goblins > Fish People

DarkKnight · Jul 22, 2007

Hmm. I see why... anyhow, Frogs>green things.

Irony.

DarkKnight · Jul 23, 2007

Hmm... oh yea, frogs are green ^^ lol, Well, We'll never come out of this so lets just put it this way Murloc><Goblins, In a swiming contest Murloc's would win, but Goblins win in technology, They both have their strong and weak points.... goblins for the Horde and Murlocs for the Alliance (I have no idea what they should do for lore but I don't care ^^)

They left the horde because Money > Friends to them lol.

DarkKnight · Jul 23, 2007

As The guy with the broken space bar said (lol name change) they help the Horde more then the alliance.

Tyranid · Jul 31, 2007

Races I would like to see playable:
Nerubians
Broken
Lost Ones
Gnolls
Naga
Ogres
Pandaren

Then again alot of those races have lore/mount/size problems. . . .

Rui · Jul 31, 2007

I understand wishes of seeing many races playable, but I prefer to have races that fit the lore and are interesting. It would certain not be interesting to play a Gnoll.

Lots of people hated the Ere-Draenei, but I found them quite original and interesting.

DarkKnight · Jul 31, 2007

A new race could be interresting too, one that hasn't been in the Warcraft series... one for example that comes from another plain of the outlands or something...

WerBackIII · Aug 1, 2007

Well, Kobolds and Pandas will certanly have no problems with the mounts...
I would want to see the Kobolds riding cats... or remember the siameese little mini pet?

DarkKnight · Aug 1, 2007

lol.. what about Kobolds riding candles ^^

Ogres as a playable race would be sweet. Just runing around saying "ME SMASH YOU!" to everyone you meet

The downside is that the horde already has enough "ME BIG HORDIE MAN! ME CRUSH YOU" races.

DarkKnight · Aug 2, 2007

Such as, Tauren with a log ^^, what the horde could use now, would be more agile, or small or both. The alliance on the other hand, could use some ME SMASH YOU powers ^^

The goblins would do great in the horde. They're small, look agile, and very smart. Not only that, but they have a history with the horde. Pandaren are the animal race that the Alliance needs, the downside being that they are not focused on power as much as they are focused on agility. But they are a pretty big race though.

DarkKnight · Aug 2, 2007

Hmm... how about a pinguin? for the horde... and a turtle for the alliance ^^.

Which race would you like to see become playable in WoW?
