Reading all those outcries about the high elves past months I was always thinking WHY TF?!?!
The real race, that is in game for so long and would make complete sense as allied race would be… VRYKUL (who would have guessed from title?)
Now hear me out on this one:
Vrykul are just awesome brutal race, let’s be real, Viking style, we had them basically in Legion too, as well as in WotLK
from lore perspective there were Vrykuls that didn’t like their children being born as humans and were killing them (these could be HORDE representatives) and also those that tried save their malformed children (Ally representatives)
Delete Vulperas and Mechagnomes for this race = everybody wins… kind of
But seriously now… since I logged after first W3 experience I wanted to have Demon Hunter as playable race, and thought as a kid that hunter is DH (yes I was kiddo back then, didn’t understand half the things)… it was not and they brought it in Legion…
yep it took some time…
what else? racials!
Vrykul could have Hardiness trait as orc, both ally and horde could benefit from PvP passive trait,
second active trait, whatever, from warhorn, to deathbringer’s will trinket (secondary stats enhancement, maybe versatility? all classes benefit from vers)
no questions asked, and therefore ally/horde balance could once again get (maybe) in some really good state - I would for sure race change few of my characters immediately… and thanks to Vikings, AC Valhalla, there is always someone who likes, and would cherish Viking culture implemented in game
and where would we start? raid boat - raiding ally/horde city for example
so now I am calling out for real deal race, that had struggles because of curse of flesh, and also was split into two camps, ones that hated humans and ones that saved them (ew)
True, this used to be the case. However in Legion there were a few examples where vrykul were impressed with us and warriors especially made an impression on them with the order hall. So there is an opening they could use.
The story is also very fluid and they could do something simple like Horde/ally finds a vrykul tribe we prove out worth to and recruit them cause reasons. Remember when we went to alternate past-future dreanor to recruit our frienemies from 2 expansions prior?
there were vrykuls that hated and killed their deformed children - horde side ez
and those that saved their deformed children and shipped them to eastern kingdoms - ally
So yeah so far everything is easily covered, easier than some lame vulperas and mechagnomes
No thanks. I don’t see the appeal of another human spin off. They’d basically occupy a similar niche to kul Tirans as “big strong humans” except they’re Vikings instead of pirates. Hardly something I’d like to see an AR slot go on tbh.
In that case vrykul for the horde (ally got blood elves) and ogres for ally… BAM jk
ally would have two fat allied races, but I am fine with that Kappa
as for the point of similar to humans, yeah kinda, but vrykuls still could have option to not be only flesh version (simple skin tone) and there we go, non flesh cursed vrykuls… but yea I would gladly exchange kul tirans as well for vrykul as they are just cool
btw nice pun
so i doubt they wanna be allies
