How about a quest line for them that lets you gain more control over the forms?
so that it can be toggled at will but staying in human form disables all of the passive racial traits and using an active racial trait force transforms them as normal?
edit:should have just rolled human? but I like the accent better!
Mhm,
I think some changes like this will encourage more players to create a worgen and play one:
To let you fight in what form you like
If you fight in your human form, when you deal dmg and heal you can’t control your inner spirit and randomly transform into your worgen form having a burst of movement speed for 2 seconds that is rapidly decaying and have dmg/ healing increased for x and you receive less dmg for 10-15 seconds.
If you fight in your worgen form, have movement speed increased permamently by 10% and you have an active ability that increased your attack speed/ attack dmg
I think Alliance needs better racials and need new players. To attract new players we need cool stuff.
I just made up the numbers in the example, they can be tweaked to be balanced.
I think my suggestion really fits into the Worgen theme.
I also like what Radium said with being locked into your worgen form at full moon.
Clearly Blizz is not going to do something that cool but at least fix that head, please. You can’t transmog a decent head for worgens
What a cool idea! Also it would deliver the werewolf fantasy a little bit better then. Let’s face it that’s why worgens are in the game, because werewolves are cool. Blizzard just had like a change of mind at the last moment and tried to reinvent werewolves in stead of just deciding werewolves exist in WoW. They ended up deciding pandas and void elves and such officially exist as well, so clearly wanting something to be real is a big enough reason to make it happen.
you should see a doc about that stick, but anyway I created my character in cataclysm, blizzard forcibly changed how my character looks and it no longer fully represent what I want to play I would rather be a regular (brit) human?
I am making a simple suggestion for something optional to my playstyle that does not hurt your gameplay in any way, why would that upset you to the point of angry confrontation?
maybe it could even give you different racial abilities based on which form you were in
I don’t want to play “human”, you are bringing nothing to the discussion and you have no authority, if blizzard want to allow players to to play human Gilnaian they will
Few people are playing Kul Tirans and Gnomes because of the looks. So we are left with Void Elves and Dark Iron Dwarves? Mechagnomes have a great set of racials, but again, they are gnomes.
Horde has: Damage for orcs and mag’har orcs, attack speed for trolls, 4% crit, extra healing and much more for zandalari, aoe stun for both taurens, etc.
The only horde races that don’t give you an extra button to press for burst are Sin’dorei, Forsaken, Taurens and Nightborne(who still have an activate that deals damage but it’s situational)
And the examples I gave are on the run because I didin’t think that I have to explain such thing. Horde cleary has better racials, this is why a lot of pros and people that wanted to maximize their dmg and healing went to the Horde beggining with Cata. A lot of streamers migrated and with them their playerbase that left Alliance with few people. Of course Horde is better if you have to choose from 100 people instead of 10.
I don’t understand what are you trying to say, honestly.(my english fails very often)
Racials that I recommended for Worgen are practically a void elf passive and an orc or troll active ability and I added a little bit of worgen fantasy to it, I don’t think I crossed any line with that, it’s not that op as it may sound.
If you intentionally play races that are worse because you like their looks more, do you really get to complain about “bad racials”?
“Extra Buttons” = Better? I see.
There’s a website called bloodmallet that has all the simulations for all the classes and specs. There’s almost no class that has exclusively alliance or horde racials on top. It’s an incredibly old discussion that people love to bring up again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again, to justify them being quitters.
The largest advantage horde has over the alliance is the larger playerpool and less roleplayers, which equals to more people interested in clearing content on higher levels.
Fixed it for you. If you and I were arguing about racials back in cata, I’d give it to you. Horde was PvE racials, alliance was PvP racials back then.
Also since the current world first guild literally announced if it were only for racials they would’ve went alliance due to Kul’tirans being bonkers times 10 for progress, as well as alliance races being insane for m+, I feel like your “Back in cata” anecdote really doesn’t have any valid points.
“I recommended three racials in one, including a passive 10% movementspeed bonus that’s permanent, I don’t think I crossed any line with that”.
Have you ever heard of Magic the Gathering? There’s a card called Vhati-il Dal. Its flavour text is one of my favorites throughout the game.
If you’re interested in it, you should look up the card and its flavortext. I feel like the statement Greven gives in it is quite fitting.
Well why not, people want to look fabulous and have nice racials.
Well, that’s why I thought. I just checked the site you mentioned and if it is legit, man you are right! The races are pretty close.
I said that I made up some numbers and that they are subject of change. We can take the 4% like the Dark Iron or less if that pleases you.
You choose what you want to use, the passive with a little bit of burst or just the orc/troll active ability with passive ms increase. You can’t use all of them.
It may sound op because you can choose from so many but I think about it like the Zandalari one that let’s you choose what suits you.
“Don’ think[…] it doesn’t suit you.”
oh wow, I had to do research just to be insulted, thanks what can I say.
This topic is dedicated for the idea of worgens that can fight in their human form. Let’s respect that. You were right with the horde/alliance racials but I still think what I suggested fits the theme and it’s not that op. I’ll just keep thinking, maybe one day it will suit me, who knows.
