Sub-race names & templates tied to the new customization options

I like these ideas, but i think ultimatly when someone does the actuall art for these kinda things blizz cant really use them since then they will have to pay the artist for the ideas.

I seriously love it! (Despite of less space for the templates)

Maybe worth making its own thread?

I would not be so sure. After all, the Forums are explicitly listed as the right place to post suggestions in the Legal info at the bottom of the pages:

Blizzard Entertainment® has adopted the unalterable policy of refusing to accept or look at any unsolicited submissions or ideas. You can post your suggestions under the appropriate category in the most relevant game forum: Legacy, StarCraft II, World of Warcraft, Diablo III, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm.

I believe it is safe to state that when we accepted the terms of use of the Forum we have acknowledged that we are handing over to Blizzard the ownership of the ideas we post there, just the same way we are granting them ownership of every idea posted in-game through the suggestions box in the help page.

Besides, to me it seems pretty clear that it is us making use of Blizzard’s assets, rather than the other way around. :upside_down_face:

Well, I would not bother to post on these pages if I thought I was actually DAMAGING my chances of obtaining the things I am suggesting.

I mean sure, the social threads are fun, but that’s not what I am here for. :wink:

Thanks!

Done that:

Sadly none of the people who bothered replying seem to like the idea. :wink:

I’m thinking easiest way is basically when you select a class, it will hide certain options.

So if you select Paladin, the Dark ranger preset - which should really be called Dark Fallen, would actaully not appear, nor will Illidari. On the Paladin screen you will have

  1. Thalassian
  2. Sunsworn
  3. Quel’dorei

To customise. Illidari and Dark Fallen (i.e. dark ranger) don’t show up.

Currently in beta you have to select class before you go to customisation. And while all the sub-race options and templates could be on display in the class selection screen, and you can even click on them, you have to make a class selection before you click customise.

So lets say you clicked Dark fallen then selected paladin, as soon as you click customise, the screen will remove Dark ragner and illidari from the options, and you’d be free to select one of the 3 remaining to help you customisation, or just fiddle around with the options till you get your desired look.

I think the minimum they could do without adding quests, starting area or anything like that is do an opening Narration for each group. Theyd on’t even need to change the video of the starting scene, just the audio file that explains the situation of each group you clicked. If you didn’t click any, it would give the default audio file.

This way everyone can learn who and what your group is.

Racials can actually be assigned on su-race temple selection: For example Quel’dorei on blood elves would just have a light version and effect of the same void elf ones.
Quel’dorei on the blood elves would just rename in appropriate sracials

Thanks. It’s very nice to see that people care. :slight_smile:

Clearly we won’t be seeing anything like this in game anytime soon… but one can always hope for the next expansion, or maybe (although less likely, sure) even a major content patch in between?

Although I won’t hold my breath, I shall still keep my fingers crossed. :wink:

We are still lacking green skin for trolls and this would be an awesome way to implement it.

Forrest Trolls (Revantusk) would be a great addition to the Horde.

The females have the same model as the Darkspear. It’s only the males that are a bit bulkier. So would be nice if that option gets added to the Darkspear along with Green skin :slight_smile:
