It was directed too- … Sighs… …No …No it wasn’t directed to you or any players of the above in particular…
Just spesific haters in particular who argues for more of the same races in particular… Who this person in particuclar I dont even know if does!!
But still! Play what you want! Enjoy the races you like! Just don’t go autistic over every new races announced to the game like its an attack on you or something. (No not you in particular, Them!) Fack! Where is my chillpills! Flips tea table
But can we agree that Tuskar, Arrakoa (corrupted and non-corrupted), Tortollan, Vry’kul, Saberon, Sethrakk, Saurok and Ogre would have been 1000% times better than twinky drake boys?
When your mind feels hot like the rage of a yaungol, it is best to sit by the stream and reflect like the jinyu. When the coolness and serenity of the water envelops you you shall have the state of mind that would let you debate the emperor himself.
I feel like it’s important to remember that just because heritage armors and other information about the old races, such as customization, wasn’t in the expansion announcement - which was, of course, dedicated to the expansion itself and its new features - doesn’t mean it’s not coming. Because we’ll be back on Azeroth, I firmly believe the old races will get what they’re owed as well, it just might not be on release.
I can’t find the sources anymore unfortunately, but I swear some of the original leaks about Dragonflight mentioned heritage armor specifically, so hopefully they’re coming.
This shouldn’t take away from the fact we’re also getting shiny new stuff. We can have both, and I think we’ll get both. It’s very standard for them to release old race content, such as heritage armor, during patches following the release of an expansion, not along with the release of the expansion itself. I remember in BfA we got like, what was it, two sets a patch? One for Alliance one for Horde? Perhaps they’re planning on returning to that setup. I’d honestly be fine with that. As for customization, I’d love to see more of that, naturally, but I’m content enough with what we have at least for now.
I dearly hope so. It’s just… even hope runs out at one point. We were promised before, and those promises turned out empty. That’s my concern. But yeah, let’s just hope there are some announcements for the old races coming in the - very near - future.
It’s really disappointing we got nothing this expansion but I have a gut theory it’s because they pulled a WoD with Shadowlands and ditched the expansion halfway through to go all hands on deck for Dragonflight. I pray to whatever god wants to listen that I’m right about that, and we’ll get everything, or at least some, of what we want. Maybe my Orc Death Knight can finally look how I picture him in my head!
Try not to lose hope. I’ve got a pretty strong feeling in my gut they’re going all out this time, and I bet we’ve not even seen a fraction of what the roadmap looks like. (Hopefully!)
@Daestra and others on pandaren popularity: From an older post by Punyelf…
Also, I am sure you recall that I used to be very active CensusPlus user. Pandaren were never super popular, but they also were not the least played race, especially if one considers alliance and horde pandaren as a single entry, not two. In addition, they were very heavily monk oriented. For example, according to some of my old offline backups of my posts, pandaren priests were super rare.
The following is a partial copy from autumn 2020 from my reply to Esploratore.
Logging draenor now at 21.23 on a monday evening:
Let’s see a few classes: priests level 120 for example:
Blood elves 50+, undead 26, troll 28, tauren 4, goblin 19, orc 2, pandaren 4, nightborne 14, vulpera 7, total here is 154+.
Let’s also check monks 120:
Blood elves 45+, orc 20, pandaren 36, undead 8, vulpera 18, tauren 17, troll 5, nightborne 7, total here is 156+.
These are just 2 class examples, let’s also search dazar’, to see how many people are in great seal for a few classes:
48 paladins, 23 monks, 14 rogues, 16 shamans, 36 warriors, 25 warlocks, hopefully this data is enough to get my point across.
Now it’s 21.29, logging kazzak:
120 priests:
Blood elves 50+, undead 50+, troll 32, goblin 27, tauren 5, orc 5, nightborne 12, vulpera 7, pandaren 2, total here is 190+.
120 monks:
Blood elves 50+, undead 7, troll 15, orc 46, pandaren 48, nightborne 8, vulpera 17, tauren 9, total here is 220+.
How things are right now is less easy to check, but even manually looking into some large realms probably would yield some info, despite the fact that the /who function tends to be… cranky at best.
So true and thank you yet again for another one of your superb posts its a shame since WM brought in that /who hardly works now with sharding as well but ty <3
