Recently there was talk of a possible Sethrak Allied race in patch 11.1 we already talked about. And since you can’t talk about one Allied Race you would want to see without hearing about all the rest, this sparked discussions about a new wave of Allied races. Very much on-point, Comfortable_Team_696 made a race/class select screen mock up jam-packed with potential. There’s even a sneakily added new class.
The entire mock up is perfect for a “Name That Race” party game, and to test your WoW lore knowledge. But there’s more than a few interesting comments and discussions, so let’s take a look at some of them.
There’s also this older and less complex and fancy compilation of some of the more wanted races by Goodestguykeem:
For a start, even with all the races on display here, many are still pining for the Sethrak as the next Allied race. The snek love is eternal.
- Blizz give me Sethrak and my life is yours.
- Sethrak rogue is the dream for sure
- Been waiting for snake men for 5+ years. Sssssssssethrak please.
- Whenever I see these posts, it breaks my heart not to be able to play as a Sethrak Priest or Monk….
Among a veritable medley of other wanted races, like the Tuskarr, Arakkoa, Ogres, Furbolgs, and even Murlocs, some are advocating for a different approach. Like Any-Transition95‘s comment about rolling some of the allied races into customization options. Many are on the same page for customization, some adding that it would be a good thing to declutter the character creator.
Another interesting opinion, by razielvex, goes for D&D as an example of race and subrace selection.
Dskinny623 wonders why there’s still no body sliders, which would make dreams of character customization soar. It’d definitely make WoW more varied and colorful. Like Mötley Crüe performances in their prime.
On the other hand, Gubigubi takes a trip down memory lane, back to 2004, sparking a discussion about the uniqueness of races with definable characteristics.
And some just want to be spiderman, like Shidnfardmypant.
Whichever race Blizzard decides to add next, Allied or a completely new one, the community is always guaranteed to have plenty of interesting opinions. Of course, always sprinkled with a dashing dose of humor.
