10/12 of my toons are Blood Elves so I'm kind of sad that the void elves will be Alliance but in saying that, I'm sure I will fall in love with the Nightborne Elves the same! Especially because I'm obsessed with their armor already!
I'm really excited by the possibilities that allied races bring!We now may be closer than ever to having a playable Murloc race!
Kinda bugs me that Horde would be getting two fresh, new druid options, where the alliance would have none (I'm assuming that Zandalaris, being trolls, can still be druids, obviously). Perhaps other allied races coming in the future will correct the imbalance?
I'm a little salty about this. Would've rather have them as sub-races, and able to "hairdress" into them, instead of having to change race or level a character from scratch. I hope to see WAY MORE customization options (they only announced non-hunched orcs, so far, but how about brown orcs from Outland/Draenor, Forest Trolls (green) from the Revantusk tribe, here I also would put the Dark Iron Dwarves, Kul'tirans (basically, bulky Gilneans in human form) for the Humans, and so on). High/Void Elves and Nightborne should've been separate new races, and Highmountain Tauren (mostly if they hadn't scrapped Baine's appearance in HM, a group of HM Tauren could've easily moved to Thunder Bluff), Zandalari Trolls (sme as tauren, a group of Zandalari could move into the Echo Isles), Dark Iron Dwarves (being allowed once again in Ironforge) and Lightforged Draenai (coming to the Exodar to live among those who fled Argus to get to know about them) just "sub-races"I also don't like the Alliance getting the Blood Elf model through High/Void ElvesAnd for the Nth time, Blizzard, WE WON'T STONEMAUL OGRES LED BY REXXAR AS A PLAYABLE RACE!
They told you can't use Heritagee armor for transmog...oh why
What about hero classes specifically Death Knights? Everything dies and it is no secret that Death Knights have been adding to their ranks.
I can't wait to level all of them for the heritage armor sets.
They're giving us an extra 6 slots (totaling 16). I haven't heard how many slots we're allowed over servers though; it's currently 50.
My first thought was, "Wow, this is cool, new races?" Then I went immediately to,"Wait, I barely have time to manage a main and 1-2 alts, there's NO WAY I'm going to have time to level grind more toons..." Yes I know 1-2 alts is child's play to most, but I do work a full time job and have a life, family, etc... I'm lucky to log 5-6 hrs a week currently and a large portion of that is raid time... even still, not really looking forward to lvl grinding more toons, even if they start from 20...
I'm looking forward to checking out the stories introducing the new allied races but I'm probably not going to play them much. The fact that we are getting 6 more character slots per realm regardless is really nice though!
Wish Alliance received a new druid race - while I know it's just the start and more could be added, really wanted a new druid race from the start.
I love the Void Elves most as well as Highmountain Taurenalso interested in Nightborne
Wonder to see what profession bonuses will the unrevealed races have since most of the profession buffs are already taken and I doubt they will give fishing to a race, it would case riots from all the fishers.
I want to see the new Druids forms... They'll be awesome!
Dwarf and void elves looks great. A shame they are not account wide,but i hope that at least your second allied race of same race you make do gets the armor unlocked if you obtained it on first one.
