Little hint on the WoW Alliance Race

Both me and other people who care about the lore feel that Furbolgs are the only logical path Blizzard can go down

I can't see it being Draenei at all. Satyrs just... Goes against everything the Alliance stands for basically, and Worgen? Not a chance. If it weren't for that fanfiction no one would worry about them

You might say that Furbolgs aren't cool enough, but Blizzard could make them better. Sides, the only race I can think of that are cool in Warcraft are the Nerubians

And as if they'll be the race

mech when i said why not satyrs, i implied why not a race that ha yet to be mentioned or thought of to be the picked race.
#33
Well, even Tuskarr have been mentioned for some bizzare reason, and Satyr have been as well

I have someone at school adamant about Satyr being the race. He also thought the Blood Elf flying mount was some sort of insect as well

Blizzard also said it wasn't a brand new race, in order to destroy the Tigon arguements

1.its not a brand new race.
2.its a COOL race.
3.its a race lovers of wc3 will be able to remember.
4.it may or may not start in outland.
5.its on the alliance.


that all we know isnt it?
#35
We also know its not goblins

Blizzard said the "model for the new race isn't in the game", which many have taken to mean various things. I think it means the playable model, with armour and stuff, for the race isn't ingame, and the only other non-playable race with playable models ingame are goblins
#36
so if its not already in the game, that removes:

1. furbolgs
2. ogres
3. goblins
4. satyr
5. centaurs
6. frost trolls


if we were to translate what they said directly.

Removes Draenei and Worgen as well in that light

I don't get why people keep bringing that up and claiming it supports their view. Its just... Wierd. Especially when their view happans to be Draenei who are obviously in the Swamp of Sorrows

I'm thinking they were always refering to the models which can have armour and helmets and stuff, which is basically just the playable races and the goblins

Though, everything is open to interpretation

The furbolg and such models can't be equiped with armour or anything. They just have about 3 versions, like Blood Elves had
#38
well what will the furbolg turn into when they drink that potion, that turns you into a furbolg?
#39
That's just the creature model. You can do the same thing with other things as well

Its not a PC model, just an NPC one. It can equip weapons, like the ogres and PCs, but also like the ogres it can't equip armour or helmets
#40
i know but would the furbolg turn into a furbolg?
#41
Yeah, a more different furbolg

They could make the Alliance ones like... More bearish or something, sorta like some old artworks they have of the Furbolgs, and then have the mob ones which look the normal way
#42
maybe a half furbolg thing... like a beastman... but they always seem to shamanistic.


im seriously disapointed that there is no new class's.
#43
I believe the statement was that the new race does have an existing model already ingame, but it needs to be upgraded like the Blood Elven ones. It was stated that Blizzard isn't making an entirely new race.

Tell me about it

I for one would LOVE to see Runemasters, a Tauren/Dwarf class from the RPG that uses runes and unarmed fighting

The reason why I pray the hero class system works out.
