As a newly returning player the warbands feature is something that intrigued me to return.
But what shocked me the most is that their main feature to reveal is a reskin dwarf?! In the past expansions are normally generate huge excitement and anticipation what brand new race will we get? Ogres? Or new class , tinker?
They did just give a big speech about how they want to improve on past failures and have a clear goal for the future then they show us a a pebble dwarf.
They grabbed dwarf in paint edit and changed the skin colour! Added pebbles and Huzzah! Iâm sure our consumers will love this hard work!
Decades the most requested race has been ogres, then we got tuskar, naga, big trolls, list goes on but what Iâm saying is a unique skeleton with animations something exciting not this half assed attempt at a feature.
Speaking of which the absolute state of the allied races in general with their 3 faces, hair options, skin. Just abandoned. At least itâs not another Elf I guessâŚ
Itâs just a ânew featureâ for people that whine if new expac doesnât give them ânew toyâ to play with.
Itâs basically a checkmark, even if we donât really need new class/race the new installment must have at least something.
Itâd be nice if that changed. Although they might just add 4 hair colors and call it a patch feature.
Tbh, letâs give them some more credit, they looked semi-unique, just like the dracthyr visage, theyâre copying a skeleton and iterating on it. (Yes, I agree it should just be a race customisation but oh well!) Not that Iâd ever play them but Iâm sure someone will love them. In the end they know this wonât be the most popular choice yet they decided to put it out anyway.
That might be why though. Every expansion other than WOD(but that updated the models) & shadowlands(a massive customisation addition to pretty much all core races, void elves, nightborne got some love and the expansion of death knights to races added in pandaria till bfa) has released a new race or class at least. Seems like they feel like they have to. I wish they didnât force themselves to add things that they just donât have creative ideas for.
Yeah, shoulda been ogres for a new race (how wonderfully complete would the Horde be then?) Or naga. Iâve noticed Dragonflight and this new expansion had an emphasis on pizzazz and seemed a bit light on release-day content in general so maybe armor mogs be holding em back with those 2 races. Were I Blizzard Iâd prolly cover me tracks with some player-placating notion of lore incompatibility, too.
If this is a race like Pandarens then I can totally see the appeal of a Horde player having their very own Dwarf (we are, as was mentioned above, the master race and here finally I think ye all see the proof o that). But maybe Dark Iron Dwarves could have been the Horde option a few expansions ago?
It feels a bit meh to me mostly because I already play Dwarves. Maybe one o these days theyâll release a goat-horned Tauren that you can choose a faction for. Iâll be chillin with âBĂŽllyBĂŠefsterâ in me Warband, no DOUBT!
Weâre getting another dwarf race because the devs want to keep pushing their ⌠agenda. the main feature of this race is that the women can have beards. Thatâs what i believe
Half of them should be customisation options on their main race
For instance
Humans, kul tiran , worgen, undead should all be one race.
They all start as Human then you can customise into the others
Same with elfs - belt, nelf, belt and Nightborn should all be one
The only truly unique ones are
Goblin
Vulpera
Pandas
Drackthyr (and even at that Iâm half tempted to call them elfs)
