Little hint on the WoW Alliance Race

KiExcuse me if I make a mistake here Mecheon, but did not the Furbolgs go crazy in the Night Elf campaigns?


Didn't the Blood Elves all go to Outland?

Additionally, I don't see them being the race simply because it would be an arduous task creating a set of buildings for them. The Draenai already have building styles developed in wc3.


Furbolgs have building styles as well. There are plenty of Furbolg buildings ingame

I'm looking at this from a relativity standpoint, not lore.


From a truely realitively standpoint, you wouldn't want Draenei because they are ugly and will only be rolled by people wanting to make them dance on the AH bridge to get vengence for months of Nelves doing the same thing

I dont know much of the lore. What are you trying to say?

The buildings don't really fit into the "civil" lifestyle of the Alliance. I can see more possibilities from the Draenei buildings rather than the cruddy log-like structures that the Furbolgs have.

Also, would not it be hard for the Furbolgs to communicate to the Alliance?

The Dranaei (besides the Naga and Pandaren) are the only other creep race with a hero.

Since the Dranaei's only real means to ally with the Blood Elves was to fight off the Orcs, their pact would break if the Blood Elves did join the enemy.

And lastly, the Furbolgs don't even use weapons for combat. Regular warriors use their claws and the shaman don't use staffs. I can see the possibility of weapon and armor sets for the body structure of a Dranaei more so than the Furbolgs as they are hunched over in a "uncivilized" (as the Alliance would put it) body structure.[/img]

its not the dranei or the furbolg. the character models wouldnt work.

Goblins have good chance however seems illogical with the alliance having three short races and horde having the only large race.

Furbolgs are a no go, a main part of the new alliance race is that it has to be cool.


Now from my view i could whole heartedly see somthing along the lines of a new speices or even half giants, half ogres or somthing along those lines.

BUT why not the Satyr?

MecheonUnlike the Pandaren, the Furbolgs are allied to the Alliance


Not in Wow they aren't. A number of them actually have a loathing of the Night Elves.



SansuiBUT why not the Satyr?


For the love of lore, please tell me that was sarcasm.

And the character models could actually work for Draenei and Furbolgs. They made it work for Tauren after all.

Just to explain: The saytr are basically evil versions of the NEs, so them being allied simply wouldnt make any sence.
#21
furbolgs are gay it wont be them.. its going to be a "cool" race.

obviously you didnt get the point of me saying what isaid. so im not going to try to convince such people.
#22
Theres a zero chance of there being a lizard race, but then again, the horde got a pretty *cough*pansy*cough* race, so the alliance should get a ugly *cough*cool*cough* race..

heh...

Dranei seem more likely though.

But if its blue orcs, I will have to start smashing some heads....

Your "valuable" input shall be remembered.

Please elaborate. And use english, not "internet shorthand".

He's Sansui. Just ignore him

Anywho, I fail to see how hewn logs have less potential than mushroom caps held up by bones. Considering that the Draenei can't have those buildings on Azeroth anyway, due to the slight lack of giant mushrooms

Look at Tauren. Before World of Warcraft, could you see them wearing armour?

And look, it won't be Draenei. They have a TINY civilisation on Azeroth. The Furbolgs have more of a chance, merely because Blizzard could pull another uncorrupted tribe out of their ass
#25
Blizz could just as easily pull out more sane uncorrupted Draenei out of their ass. That's why it will be only speculation until an official announcement is made about the race.
#26
Well i wouldnt have thought the Blood Elves would become horde, so making an "uncorupted" or similar version isnt as unlikelly as it seems.

Although, i still dont believe (want) it will be Furbolgs.
#27
Heh, the new race for the Alliance could be dragons. It would make sence due to the aspects, but most of them are flying beings and it would be technically difficult.

And your input has no bearing on the topic at all, so i say you are a moron.

Please elaborate on being a troll dickhead.



and to mech.

Get your head out of your ass, furbolgs have no chance they are not cool enough

And that was blizzards main goal with the new race,



plus mech, you are becoming a HUGE asshole, so here i my advice to you shut the fuck up bitch.
#29
Oh how cute, I think he likes us Mecheon!
#30
How funny of you. And no doubt I see no reason why you'd be on the skinner mod's position.

Of course, I'm going to agree with Sansui on Mecheon. So far, Mecheon will simply bias someone else's opinion and tell himself he's an expert. Besides, I can bet you Mecheon will flip out when he realizes Blizz releases a race out of his ideas (remember how Blizz added blood elves?)

In general, the forums here lost a lot of potential...
