Would you want to see Gnolls as a playable race?

I feel like I am the only one, but the new gnoll models looks amazing and I would definitely play as one if I could :smiley:

No, you wouldnā€™t be show to use all armor. What good is armor if you cant hide most of it!

Generally Iā€™m against adding any more races, letā€™s get more customisation for existing races. The more races we get the less time for customisation.

Yeah, gnolls and murlocs. But I guess the problem is that those races are mostly considered as not very intelligent (even less than the average ogre) and thus it poses a problem of integrating them into the factions. Maybe weā€™ll find some enlightened tribes of them one day.

i thought of him when i read the title. He loved the idea of playable gnolls, at least from what i saw on the forums.

while i personally would not play one, im not against the idea of more customizations/races. so why not :smile:

Only loophole I can think of: a tribe of Gnolls / Murlocs were living right above a Kajamite vein beneath the earth and it gave them some form of intelligence

But I dunno how well received that would be :joy:

A tribe of Furbolgs blessed by Elune and teached by the Kaldorei how to speak Darnassian and the common tongue

Yeah, why not. Would rather have ogres and dire troll first though (I guess they would go horde?).

Anything extra is good.

Would I personally play one? Doubtful.

YES of course! We have Hogger in Heroes of the storm, he is cool

Just a reminder that Gnoll tents are made of human skin. Complete with faces. For those who didnā€™t know.

But at this point I donā€™t even care because they SHAT on lore. Gnolls used to be barbaric human eating creatures not those cute new models. Whatā€™s next, troggs, ogres, sethraks?

I mean even ogres fit better!

Ogres should have been added to the horde in TBC instead of Blood Elves.

Drakythr canā€™t show armour unless in humanoid form either. Hasnā€™t stopped Blizzard. Nor should it.

This might open the way for the Naga thoā€™
Elven ā€œvisageā€ Naga true selfā€¦ and ā€œwe donā€™t show the Armourā€ā€¦
On the same note, Saberon and Gnoll even Botani could work

Well it depends how well done it is, so the gripe I have with Blizzard making more races playable is:

  1. If theyā€™re adding new races, can we please make sure all armor from every expan is wearable, the dracthyr conundrum is a joke currently as it stands.

  2. More than one playable class, at the very least.

I donā€™t think I can stomach this joke release kind of state again where they just go ā€œyeah we focused on them having a elf/human form more than the main selling point, dont expect to wear tier recolours from older expansā€

Iā€™m not someone who wants everything as a playable race but I do love the updates theyā€™ve give races.

Unlikely, the gnolls are more like the tauren in shape, so you could argue that might might be possible but naga donā€™t have legs so it would not work with the current armor system.

Theyā€™d need to redo the armor system - which Iā€™m very much for!

The alternative would be fewer customisation options for drakthyr; the limited slots would suggest thatā€™s where the limit is.
