Pls Blizzard. We need all troll tribes to matter not just those who sided with the Horde.
But… the playable OG troll race are… darkspear? Not making Darkspear Troll heritage about darkspear would be… Weird???
Tbh Idc, never gonna make a troll char anyway

Aye, you do know what “heritage” means, right?

Nope. It should matter for everyone involved in the larger story of the race.
oh man, we have a white progressive liberal in here!

Uh, no. You don’t see an Edo Period kimono when you think of Irish heritage. Heritage is based on the culture and traditions of a specific people. Central American heritage is completely different to that found in the Baltic States.
Heritage armour in WoW focuses on the culture and traditions of each specific group of a race that is playable. That is why Dark Iron Dwarves have a different Heritage set to the Ironforge Dwarves.
The Darkspear Trolls are who are playable - that is your character’s culture. That is what the Heritage armour will be based on.

Indeed.
We already have the Zandalari Heritage set. And other sets can be added later, although not sure why we’d get a Gurubian or Ammani set if we can’t play those Trolls, unless they add in Customisation options to become those Trolls (like Void Elves can become High Elves, sort of) but this seems unlikely.

If they add in options to play as Gurubashi, Amani or any other Horde-aligned Troll based on the Darkspear body types, then that is when they’d add in more armour sets.
For now, we start on the shores of the Echo Isles as a Darkspear. That could easily be changed on the character creation screen with a new slider option and some sort of (skippable) intro animation or text.
The Darkspear are the smallest and most boring of the tribes no one cares about them.
And you are well within your rights to have that opinion, but that doesn’t mean its fact.
It also doesn’t mean that the Darkspear Trolls, who we’ve been playing for roughly 2 decades with, won’t get a Darkspear-themed heritage set.

This!
for Humans was the same, it was about “stormwind” humans, not humans in general, wit the different factoion, from lordeorns (exils) stromgard, alterac ect
They focus on the playable race of that one and dont bother with others.
and why shoud they, Amani and Gurubashi appera most of the time as enemy, even the Horde kill those.

For misunderstandings. The Amani would have never abandoned the Horde if Gul’dan and his army hadn’t left and actually breached Silvermoon before the treason happened.
It says troll heritage. I doubt they will name it something like after the Echo Isles when that place was their home out of desperation and not of choice.
“Troll” heritage because that is what the Darkspear are classified as.
When people say “Human” as a playable race they don’t mean Gilneans or Kul’tirans. No, they mean the Stormwind Humans that live in Stormwind, start in Elywn Forest and avoid Goldshire on certain servers.

Well… Technically the OG playable trolls were the Amani back in WC2!
But then only a sliver of those are part of Thralls Horde.
The Whitebark joined for a short time and the Firetrees been part of the Dark Horde. Only Amani never tried to fix the status cuz Blizzard needed more trolls to kill.
Let them focus on Darkspear and hope to God we get more troll armors that look like other tribes from other sources. For example how we got the blood troll outfit.

No. There is no reason to push a tribe that are essentiall race traitors just like High elves.
The rest are just as boring, to be quite honest, it’s the hackneyed “Last remnants of a once large civilization” (Blizzard’s favourite trope, it seems), throw in some hints at cannibalism and a few evil loa (Or have the trolls kill their loa if they’re not evil), and repeat that six times for the various troll tribes.
They’re nothing more than quest mobs and dungeon-fodder, really.
Darkspear pretend to be civilized and made themselves lapdogs of the Orcs for that.
Their cities are still standing and populated so they are above Night elves in that regard.
