Alliance allied race: Jinyu

Hello everyone!

I really feel alliance needs more unique allied races to be on par with the Horde.
I always felt Jinyu would be a good addition to the Alliance as a playable race.
Their bodies are perfect to fit all the armor on since they resemble night elf bodies.
And they could have some really unique abilities since they are so different from the rest of the races.
What do you guys think?
What classes should be viable for them? (Imagine a Jinyu Paladin, hype)
What racials would you give them?

Alliance deserves more special and unique races. Let it be heard.

I am mixed on that one. Yes for the Race itself.

No because reskinned skeleton from Night Elfs. I’d like future ARs to honestly be like for example Kul’tiran. Not because of the meme’s that AR receives all the time. But because.

Atleast they had skeletons that was unique and not copy pasted from older races for the Umpteen time.

Anyone else want to contribute?

respectfully, friend, i would rather get high elves than another meme addition

Have much more sense than Vulpera from Andromeda nebula… race with 0 lore, never heard of but playable…lame !!!.. in other hand poor Jinjyu (with lore) not playable.

The alliance could definitely use some special races that are more appealing , more fantasy involved , as everyone says humans are boring , dwarf , gnomes they all resemble normality .
The issue is ( i’m repeating myself ) if they can’t make female (that are attractive in some manner ) out of that race the devs won’t do it .

This is a thing, isn’t it. Whatever AR comes next, I would like it to either be unique to start with, or re-modelled when it becomes an AR.

Might be some truth here… the gender dimorphism in WoW is huge, particularly with regards to draenei and tauren. And why don’t female forsaken stoop so badly?

Be interesting if they did a Sethrakk or other lizard-folk where there is little-to-no visible difference…

High elves, Jinyu, Naga, Awakaned Arrakoa

sincerely… enough with allied…

Wouldn’t even be remotely interested in playing a fish…

But that’s just me, others might feel differently.

You meant Horde. Tortollan are important Zandalari partners.
