WoW: New Race Leak

[Gurpel]

We're not looking at the biggest problem here.



Furries.


Worgen = Furries.

beat you too it, but yes.

i know, people, that it might be hard to believe, but should this addition of races come to pass, WoW will be filled with people who are less socially adept than we ever thought possible. now is the time to panic.

Then they'd almost have to be Alliance. That Human town outside Stormwind is where dorks go to cyber. They call it "RolePlaying".

when was the last time you played? as someone with a level 30 rogue on a rp server (i am so ashamed) all of the cyber goes on around silvermoon now.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Everquest went furry first and it didn't get "weird".
*snip

But in EQ1 it did get a little weird, when the expansion came out with the cat girls every where. They were the NElf babes of EQ1.

It's more likely than you think.

I'm on an RP-PvP server, and there's never anyone in Silvermoon, and thus no ERP. I always go there for the AH because it's so peaceful.

My lawyer, Mr. LawFace has advised me to plead the 5th to anything about goat smuggling and human skin.

Back to topic.

GO WORGEN!

I want to believe too. Believers seem to have it so much easier.

Wow, this is still going on? Google[Bot] must be exhausted.

Went to see Harry Potter tonight (pretty decent). I'd worry about derailment and posting a topic that there's already a thread on, but that's already happened here.

Not sure why you think derailing is ok, even though it went off main topic, it did stay pretty WoW related minus the "I want to Believe".

Was I wrong? Or is this Blizzard attempting to cover up the mistake with some quick mask designs? We will see at BlizzCon. :toocool:

I would kill an orphan holding a kitten if I could play a Vrykul.

If you would kill and orphan holding a kitten, then you probably ARE a Vrykul. :tongue:

Exactly.

I SPIT ON YOU. YOUR ENTRAILS WILL MAKE A FINE NECKLACE.

We have been discussing this new development on other boards. The few things we noticed is that the quality of the latest mask batch is lower then the ones revealed earlier, using more existing generic models. The one other unique image, the ogre female, also looks be be draw rather then modeled, which is odd and inconsistent with the rest. Most of us are really seeing this as more of a quick cover-up now, due to the factors above, but I admit this makes my former arguments fall to the winds, so I definitely am just going to wait till BlizzCon and not speculate any further on the viability of these masks showing new races.

It is going to be an interesting weekend to say the least. :slywink:

 

[tegid]

Damn! Lost my post! Can't bother to rewrite, so I'll just ask the question:

wouldn't these two be Horde races?

 

[Chazwozel]

people have been datamining poop every patch. take it with a grain of salt.

Not sure what point you are making? Obviously people Datamine every patch, that does not make these textures any less valid as a race leak.
Just an FYI, but Blizzard only makes Hallow's End masks based on playable races, they added four in BC (BE Male, BE Female, Draenei Male, Draenei Female) in the main patch before the expansion was released, these just leaked far earlier.

What makes you think they're not tossing the old formula of 'playable race' masks for something like goblins and worgen? You gotta admit it makes sense for a Halloween event. The Goblins sell tons of poop every holiday. Werewolves and Halloween go together like peanut butter and jelly.

You said it yourself. Blizzard threw in the BE and Dren masks when BC came out. Why would they put new race masks into a patch and not the patch before the new expansion?

Shannow is 100% correct, you can't make any assumptions based off data mining.

Damn! Lost my post! Can't bother to rewrite, so I'll just ask the question:

wouldn't these two be Horde races?

It all depends on how they want to shape the lore. Goblins are neutral, and so it would be rather easy to come up with some faction that decides to ally themselves to either the horde or the alliance (or either... goblins being the one race that could comfortably be allowed to choose their faction).

Worgen are a different story. Lore-wise, they wouldn't fit on either side, as they're evil creatures from a shadow dimension that live for nothing more than to destroy. Some amount of hand-waving would have to take place to make a playable group of worgen for either faction side, perhaps a renegade group of humans that Arugal had cursed to be worgen somehow break away.

It didn't make sense for deathknights to be a playable class either, but they fit it in, making them a splinter faction that broke away from the lich king.

 

[ScytheRexx]

wouldn't these two be Horde races?

What makes you say that? Because one used to be Horde and the other looks like a wolf? Blood Elves used to be Alliance, but now they are Horde. Races can fall anywhere Blizzard wants them to lean.

As for Chaz, you do realize that this is looking to be a cover-up right? Even the people on the WarCraft boards that believed they were just masks and not representing new races have swayed, due to the shoddy quality of the latest dump of masks.

If anything, it is turning into an interesting turn of events. We will see at BlizzCon which one of us was right in the end though. :heythere:

The Warcraft boards. HA! There's a true bunch of highly intellectual, highly enlightened individuals!

Nice attempt Chaz, but I didn't say the WoW boards.

Ignorance is bliss eh? :slywink:

Oh, I mistook it for the WoW boards. What Warcraft boards are you talking about? Because if it's Battlenet then you're going to get two from me.

 

[Shegokigo]

Again Chaz, Scythe was right. Worgen are an upcoming playable race, but like I said much earlier in the thread, they're not scheduled till the expansion AFTER Cataclysm/Maelstrom.

MMO-Champion, WorldOfRaids, Scrolls of Lore, BlizzPlanet, WoW.com (WoW Insider), I would name more off that I visit but I don't have all day. :toocool:

Fact is that WoW actually have a pretty big online community, and so when I say WarCraft forums I mean all the forums that have communities that talk over this type of stuff.

I rarely if ever go to the official boards, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. I only visit when I get a hit on the bluetracker.

Again Chaz, Scythe was right. Worgen are an upcoming playable race, but like I said much earlier in the thread, they're not scheduled till the expansion AFTER Cataclysm/Maelstrom.

Not sure if you heard me earlier Shego, but the long standing rumor among the community is that they are merging the two expansions from that old list, making a Maelstrom/Emerald Dream based expansion. On that list, for instance, Goblins were never set as playable, but instead Pandaren were as the Worgen counter. We will have to see, but I really do think if the Worgen rumors are true, they will be added this expansion, not the next.

 

[@Li3n]

Use the Pandaren you bastards... keep the goblins neutral...
