Are Allied races the laziest,cheapest thing that Blizzard ever did to add "new" things to the game?
>>719582190You're saying this like the entirety of warcraft isn't cheap and lazy
Probably, but it's great nonetheless
>>719582272I dont know...giving us "new" races by using nothing but reskins is pretty fucking lazy.
>>719582190 Yes and no. On paper, yeah-they're just reskins with a few tweaks and a lore blurb slapped on. But at the time, it let Blizzard pad out BFA without having to do real work, so naturally they jumped on it. That said, some of them are still cool concept-wise. Nightborne and Void Elves at least felt a little earned. But Mag’har Orcs? Bruh, they’re literally just brown Orcs.
Why no Orges after all these years?
>>719583703Blizzard is laxy.

>come up with an entire system for adding cheap and lazy recolors as new races>vehemently refuse to add the only cheap and lazy recolor race that people have actually be been asking for
>>719582190It's to cover up an issue that's been going on since TBC. They don't actually have the full budget to implement new races anymore, haven't since 2007.>TBCBlood Elves, Draenei, each with brand new skeletons, animations, capitol cities, 2 leveling zones carrying you 1-20, unique mounts. Reworked into several areas of the old world and replaced high elf models where applicable >CataclysmWorgen and Goblin, unique skeletons and animations. 1 mini zone and 1 full zone carrying you to 20ish. No capitol cities. Barely or no unique mount depending on race. Reworked into the Shattered Old World throughout >PandariaPandaren. The unique skeletons and animations for both sexes spread across horde and alliance. No capitol. Mounts are back, but 1 zone leveling experience. >BFAMale Kultiran is the only from scratch skeleton/animation. Everything else is either based off an existing one (Female Kultirans are edited fem human models), adding to an existing one (Vulpera are Goblins with extra bones for tails), or are simply not different (Most of them). One racial mount with no palettes. No leveling zone, a single quest chain to unlock them instead. No capitol cities. All are hanging off the game awkwardly since their inception with little to no integration into the game.>TWWEarthen are a single low effort BFA race split across alliance and horde.>MidnightHaranir are a slightly less low effort (has druid forms) BFA race split across alliance and horde
