Blizzard wasted development time on this shit

>Blizzard wasted development time on this shit
Who the fuck wants to play as this shit race?

>even the girls are butt ugly
Not even Rexx can redeem that shit.

>Who the fuck wants to play as this shit race?
Me. I'll be disappointed if I can't play shaman though.

you really are running out of thing to complain about huh.. you and I both know ppl have been asking for DI since vanilla.

Dark Iron totems have already been datamined, rest easy user

Heritage armor for them looks cool too, probably pick monk because dwarf monk is my favorite class/race combo.

If people like this user are still braindead enough to be playing at all then they will gobble this up like the rest of the scat blizz has dropped on their faces.

>recolor/retexture
>two new racial abilities

That's less than an hour dev time desu. A modder with no acces to model editors or source code could probably add a race as lazy as this in one day. It's hardly wasted dev time.

>Blizzard wasted development time on this shit
It's just a reskin of an existing race, some fucking unpaid newbie did that in a day.

>blizzard: "okay rexx, make porn of this"

It will take longer to cap a boosted 110 monk dwarf then it took blizzard to make it. Let that sink in.

I bet you're the type of shitter who loved Everquest even though they did the same thing with 20 reskinned races

So? The only allied race with any actual effort is the Zandalari. I've always liked Dark Iron and Wildhammer, if I could be a Wildhammer shaman I'd do that too.
People act like Blizzard wasn't always lazy fucks. I enjoy the Mythic+ system and the panel saying new dungeons were designed with them in mind made me more hyped than ever for BfA.

>Abs are just textured
>still flat sub 100 polygon character models

When games like warframe and tera have been outclassing this shit for over 5 years with less lag and more models on screen why does blizzard just continue to not give a single Fuck? Is it really just Activisions fault? Im having trouble buying that.

>why do games with newer engines outperform a game running on a modified decade plus old engine
Nigga what

If this were extra content you had to pay for you may have a point, but as just an extra cosmetic choice to level and use because you're subscribed and playing there is no factor to judge beyond if people like it. And people have wanted playable Dark Irons for ages

Less than .2% of players ever acces mythic+. Why would you lie on the internet? Kiljaden was an RNG joke that even TAS runs with perfect gear running on private servers have less than 50% succes rate. If you find that acceptable then you are either a masochist, a liar, or a masochistic liar.

The DUNGEONS retard.

Then what are you fucking gearing for?

People really undermine the work that goes into this shit. Even if the race itself is a reskin there's still stuff like hairstyles, starting area, racial animations and shit. Stuff like this is not done in a day, making a new model isn't even done in a day because even if the model itself is finished it still has to be tested to make sure it doesn't fuck up or fuck anything else up.

>tested

Blizzard lets the community do that.

How are you this dense, I enjoy doing the Mythic+ Dungeons because it's finally a system that competes with raiding in terms of gearing and is more fun than raiding.
I'm not gearing for anything, I barely even raid. Legion was the first time in years they tested the idea of dungeons being better/equivalent to raid gear, the only separating factor was Tier. Battle for Azeroth got rid of Tier Gear meaning that Mythic+ will be even more competitive to raiding depending on the extent of Azerite gear.

They should expand panda customization and remove Titan/warforged bullshit

Pandafucker BEGONE

They are removing the ability for titan/warforging on gear with Azerite which is the new replacement for Legendaries/Tier pieces so that's something.

Only after weeks of internal testing first. Even then shit still slips through the cracks. As someone who has done QA testing for games it's a miserable experience.

I'd rather the entire system be thrown in the dumpster, it fucks with progression

This is a step towards that, if only a certain number of slots can titanforge it lowers the incentive to run ancient content on the vain hope it upgrades.
Also removing tier removes the 4p/2p nonsense that occurred with some Legion specs due to the nature of titanforging as well.

I'm sick of Blizzard implementing systems and throwing it out next expansion like reforging. I'd rather they try and improve it if they can.

You know, I'd be far more excited if they

A) didn't place allied races behind a bullshit rep grind.
B) forcing you to level from 20 to 110 to get heritage armor in post scaling WoW which is pure fucking cancer when not at level cap.

Unless you enjoy waiting for the same cooldowns every raid, and the prospect of lazy re-palleting there is nothing left for you in WoW. Full stop. I have a brother with cerebral palsy and WoW is pretty much the only game he can/will play so I played with him through legion enough to get pathfinder pt1-3. Pathfinder sums up the game nicely. The most important reward (faster movement from A to B) is locked behind completing all of the pidly tiny content in the whole expansion. Pathfinder is blizzard giving up and telling it's player base "play our content faggot" instead of just making content people WANT to play through. The game isn't even a carrot on a stick. It's just the stick.

Anyone who disagrees with this sentiment, defend the Kirin tor world quests. Literally simon says for 5 year olds and it's the best way to complete the rep grind. Disgusting.

They'd have to make it not RNG bullshit

>not running dungeons with your pals for the fun of hitting an absurdly high keystone and figuring out the best way to handle it.
Mythic+ is more fun than Raiding and until another MMO does dungeons better guess I'm stuck with WoW.

>Titan/warforged bullshit
Remind me again why people whine about this?

Did they fix the Zandalari Troll's height yet?

Leveling is still easy as piss and enjoyable
>allied races behind the rep grind
it's easy for those that actually play the game

>It's easy for those who have "retreive 10000 apexis crystals plz"

Dark Iron Dwarves are fine, literally the only acceptable race added.

MY PROBELEM IS THAT WE DONT NEED 2 NEW ELF RACES THAT ARE ALL ESSENTIALLY THE SAME BUT DIFFERENT COLORS

THEYRE ALL RESKINS, THATS IT.

AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE FUCKING TUAREN CLONES WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT HORNS


why not Taunken???????
Why not Fel-Orc??
Why not Orgers??
Why not Valkyr??
Why not Naga??
Why not Furbolg?
Why not Gnolls?
Why not Dragonkin??
Why be lazy?
Why not ANY INTERESTING RACE THAT ISNT JUST A RETEXTURE???

WHY???

>leveling
>enjoyable
user... I think you have brain damage.

>why not anything that requires competency?

It's because there's no one competent on the WoE team.

Because it's just more RNG bullshit that gives players a better gear for no reason. If you're doing normal raids you could get gear that's as good as the gear that you'd find in heroic which fucks with the progression.

>Ogers will never be a playable race

feels bad man

They would fit in so well in the horde. Give the Ally Ethereal or walrusmen and that seems fair

>want a dark iron shaman forever
>make dwarf shaman, rp her as "wildhammer"
>too attached to her to racechange now
Mild ree.

Now that I can pay for the sub with gold I'm fine with being subbed essentially forever. I enjoy AH PvP and roleplaying, both of which are still available on healthy high pop servers.

>take Draenei model
>literally just change eye color to gold
>call it a new race

I miss when new races were actually, you know, new...

>why not Taunken
we're getting highmountain since its related to Legion
>Why not Fel-Orc
cause we're getting draenor orcs
>Why not Valkyr??
>Why not Naga??
>Why not Furbolg?
>Why not Gnolls?
>Why not Dragonkin??

Because those would be brand new races. "Allied races" are basically sub races. That's why we're gonna get lots of them as opposed to 1 or 2 every 4 years.

I like how the permanent ban actually proves the guy's point.

DI are pretty cool. I wish Leper Gnome was a playable race.

>draenei
>literally elves on tails

nice bait

From a marketing standpoint Allied Races are a goddamn disaster. Your average brainlet is too fucking stupid to realize WHY we're getting so many at once and will instead just go "WTF BLIZZ DIS AIN'T A NEW RACE WHY MODERN BLIZZ SO LAZY?!".

The fact that a lot of people don't seem to realize they have their own fully unique racials, voice lines and customization options(tattoos mostly, but other things like the LF Draenei Runes or the NB ear armor) that the base races don't have isn't helping.

I wonder who was in charge of the bonehead decision to ruin the only thing that made Nightbornes and interesting option. They basically made the tattoo invisible. The original version was way better.

Leper gnome would be a really rad race for affliction lock.

A lot of people literally think that Highmountain Tauren are just normal Tauren with a new horn option.

The character creator is right there and you don't even have to have them unlocked to preview the options, you can literally go ingame right now and see that they're a lot more unique than you probably think. They're not as unique as fully new races obviously but that's why they're called subraces and given their own subsection away from all the main races.

>If you're doing normal raids you could get gear that's as good as the gear that you'd find in heroic which fucks with the progression.

So? Who cares if you get lucky with RNG. The game has always been about RNG this sounds like your are just angry that someone else can get lucky and not only win loot but something that is equivalent to a piece of gear from a higher difficulty. I think thunder/warforged is a nice idea but I think it should only apply to certain pieces of gear.

I miss when Blizzard used to add eight fully new races in a single expansion...

Oh wait they never fucking did that, most expansions had no new races and of the three that did add them one literally just added a single new race. The reason we're getting so many of them is because of how easy they are to make compared to a full on new race.

>I enjoy not having to play the game to get the in game benefits

It's literally gibs for brainlets. Are you a brainlet, user?

You actually have to have purchased the expansion to do that by now, so likely those people haven't.

>tfw wowhead's shitty broken model viewer caused most of the backlash against the NB models

They actually do have unique movement animations and poses, but wowheads model viewer can't comprehend new animations on an old skeleton so just shoves the NE ones on them.

>canonically any draenei can become lightforged
>lightforged lose the ability to be some classes draenei can

>Who cares if you get lucky with RNG. The game has always been about RNG this sounds like your are just angry that someone else can get lucky and not only win loot but something that is equivalent to a piece of gear from a higher difficulty
Because it undermines progression and just adds RNG on top of RNG which was the biggest issue people had with Legion. It's not even a good catch up mechanic because it's completely random.

>I think thunder/warforged is a nice idea but I think it should only apply to certain pieces of gear.
Go away Ion

But it's not. You still have to win the piece of gear and the odds that you will have a full set of thunderforged gear before moving from say Normal to Heroic is very slim. It's suppose to be like a pleasant surprise to an otherwise boring gear race to be able to qualify for mythic. I mean the only times where it actually makes a huge difference is when you get a BiS thunderforged trinket.

> because of how easy they are to make compared to a full on new race

They should add even more then. Like Mantid and Lizard Men.

>could have had not-as-manlet, buffed up, tribal-tattooed up their asses, feral wild dorfs
>get CRAWLING IN MY SKIN-tier dorfs instead
I will never not be mad

>mfw all my characters are either elves or humans

>tfw no playable Mantid/Arrakoa/Jinyu/Hozen/Taunka/Broken

All of mine are humans and Pandas

>it's the best way to complete the rep grind.

Apparently brain issues run in the family

Void elves have to be the most embarrassing, fanfic-tier shit I've ever seen in this game and that's saying something. You can pretty much justify adding any race as a playable option now.

They've already confirmed eight and we're almost certainly getting Vulpera for the Horde on top of that, with an Alliance counterpart making it ten.

Ten new races in an expansion, even if not fully unique, are plenty of new options imo.

Did you do the recruitment scenario? People seem to have a much more positive opinion of them once going through that and learning their backstory.

>farm kiljaden for weeks to get those plate gloves
>finally drop
>next day doing some "kill boars bring pelts" type bullshit
>same exact Ilevel plate gloves drop out of my gift box from khadgar

It's completely irational.

>It's suppose to be like a pleasant surprise to an otherwise boring gear race to be able to qualify for mythic
Maybe they should focus making gear fun to get instead then.

>The most important reward (faster movement from A to B) is locked behind completing all of the pidly tiny content in the whole expansion.

You're right about this. However, is correct.

>Blizzard wasted development time
Yeah, two full fucking minutes changing some textures were wasted

Here's a reasonable expectation. The cut ones are either joke races, inconsequential or prevented by lore, or flat out evil and would never join the playable factions.

I was talking to anons that have played the game.

You get light brainwashed. So I guess you get shoehorned into certain “Light Approved” classes

Given that Warcraft elves are just "trolls drinking different kinds of juice" I'm willing accept void elves (once fel-tainted sun juice to void juice). However, believing they have the numbers to be their own PLAYABLE race is an entirely different matter. I also had this kind of autism about blood elves but eventually learned to not think about it.

Good for those 2 people in the entire world who want to play ogre.

Draenei shamans and monks are too busy being nonexistent in the lore to bother trying to become a lightforged

Doing 3 world quests for the factions at the bottom left of the map daily is for sure the most efficient time/rep. Its just not repeatable. What server you on? Lets group up and go over the numbers. Because Im not wrong. The kirin tor faction quests reward you a rep snack for ANY rep of your choosing. Pathfinder is hard tho, I don't blame you two for not doing it.

The playerbase has been asking for Ogres since vanilla.

>“Light Approved” classes
I'd buy this if they also lost access to mage, given how big of a no-no arcane magic can be.

>Why not Naga??

Because they'd take more work than any race in WoW history? That's literally the opposite of the point of the Allied Race system.

I'm not quite sure how you haven't realized this yet but Allied Races is the subrace that has been long requested by the community. It's designed to give people a lot more options and variants for existing races without having to create an entirely new race from scratch.

Take Dark Iron Dwarves or Highmountain Tauren for example, those could never be playable without the Allied Race system. They're not unique enough to count as fully new races, yet a lot of people want to play as them.

What the fuck?
Why are there niggers in my fantasy game?
Immersion = ruined, never gonna buy a game from that SJW piece of shit company ever again!

I agree with you there but pretty much anything they try at this point is going to trigger some autist and be reverted.

Just like goblins yet nobody plays them.

>become one with the Light
>thinking the Light will allow you to practice filthy shamanism and other such primitive beliefs

>The playerbase
>Like 3 faggots on MMOChamp who are notorious barafags with gay orc porn avatars.

Yeah, I'm sure they will quickly become the most played Horde race.

More than Pandas. The problem as we can all see is that the majority has shit taste and like elves and humans.

The Army of the Light needs portals dude. They can't be fighting demons all over the place by physically moving everywhere.

It's not like they're gonna get a Pally or a Warrior to make portals for them.

Khadaddy is packing some serious swag though, it all checks out

>other people have shit taste
>playing WoW

What did he mean by this?

Glad he's in the fucking freezer.

This. The other two options DK and Monk are even worse since one is pretty much the opposite of Lightforging(infusing you with the power of undeath) and the other requires full dedication to something other than the light.

Honestly I'm glad Blizzard is being more conservative with the class combos nowadays. It means there's no more Tauren Paladin or NE Mage situations like when they went a bit mad with them in Cata.

You're just going to get sassy Medivh instead, now that he's been confirmed alive

>Pathfinder is hard tho, I don't blame you two for not doing it.
I did it awhile ago. I just agree with him that it's unnecessary to lock shit behind it.
At least this one is a lot easier than WoDs.

Why does every WoW thread on here start with a negative shitpost? Is it to hide from shitposters that it's a WoW thread?

>Honestly I'm glad Blizzard is being more conservative with the class combos nowadays
Tauren priest/paladin broke me in such a way that I do not give a single fuck about what makes sense as race/class combos anymore. They've already violated my sensibilities with this, let everything be everything.

That's the point though, they've realized that they fucked up with that and have been far more cautious ever since.

Tauren have been able to be Paladins for eight years now dude. It was a shitty decision but I'd rather it's in a fairly isolated situation instead of tons of shitty combos being added on top of it.

Can we all agree (even the one guy samefaging hard in defense of this game) that the most powerfull gear in the entire game is and has been for over 8 years nostalgia goggles.

It's about to get nerfed badly within the next year, but right now it's probably the most powerful.
