New races

[RudeIota]

Hopefully, they will decide to stay true to DnD rules, and reintroduce Bards as both a class and a RACE.

Huh?

[ThywolfThespian]

Transfer Goblins from LoTRO to chase us out of the sewers and then we can join the adventurers of Stormreach in eradicating the Goblinoid menace.

speaking of goblins, I was partying up to do Kobold assault, when my other two people in the party claimed we had to kill 200 goblins in the quest... assuming they figured out this task was impossible, they bailed on the quest leaving my human soul stone snatcher/sneak attack archer of a rogue to hang out with 154 kobolds.

Today, my returning dagger was a good friend to have indeed.


as for the gelatinous cube going on... I would love to sit in the tavern and nom on peoples weapons.


also yark!

[Starjumper327]

I'd like to see Druids and Eladrin.

Also, Kobolds still hate you!

I am guessing that the graphics / art / animations are the limiting factor for Turbine to develop new races. So, while it would be cool to see gnomes, I doubt we will see them soon.

How about some things that we could see soon?

Small-sized warforged - use all ability and enhancements from current warforged race, possibly add +2 DEX and -2 STR to starting stats, but only allow enhanced CON per current warforged. Apply small size modifications to hide, intimidate, etc.

Not as exciting as other races, but should be low effort to implement, and we would definitely see a bunch of folks make a new character of the new race. I know I would.

Any other ideas?

I think it would be nice if the female WF looked different from the males, ala Indigo from Dreaming the Dark series. I know WF don't typically have gender, but we have the option to create male or female WF, so it would be great if they were dimorphic like all the other races. I know it probably isn't going to happen though.

I vote kobolds even if they limit them with certain weapon/feat/skill restrictions so the animators don't have to add anything to the current models. I'd totally take my Kobold palemaster into epics and smash face with him. My screenshot folder would be full in an hour.

hmmmm thats a thought but kolbolds would be WAY better fitted for sorcerers because sorcs have that whole draconic blood thing going for them and by lore they were born by the blood of the 3 god dragons sibret's khyber and I forget the other ones I would really like to see kolbold as the best sorc class

but then, Elves and Dwarves would have to be both a race and a CLASS at the same time

It'd take me three days to scoot through and complete a quest, but it would be a satisfying three days of consuming everything in my path and then wandering around the marketplace with various chests and keys in my belly to make everyone jealous.

sighned

I love the idea but a better way to implement this is to make the ooze master PRE so that wizards can have their 0 charisma and engulf people

because warforged are made genderless and ALOT of warforged don't even adopt a gender ddo just makes you do it
however what would be nice is if they let warforged take the feat unarmored body which gets rid of a warforged's composite plating their racial 5% spell failure chance and allows them to use armor and robes also another idea is to let warforged take the reforged PRE which rids you of that nasty 50% healing penalty and gives you the unarmored body feat plus bonuses to bluff diplomacy bonuses to morale buffs and from pnp to ddo would give more health at rest shrines and give a warforged a defined gender also to make it more appealing to ddo players get rid of the minus 2 charisma racial penalty

Or let warforged choose the 'it' gender at creation!

In its higher form, known as the Blancmange, the Gelatinous Cube would be highly susceptible to spoon-wielding kobolds!

I would also make the engulfing feature's damage able to be increased with enhancements that increases your acid damage spells so that you are doing a respectable amount of damage and maybe allow you some sort of damage reduction?

[MarlafoxLeInfamous]

I would love to TR as Kobold Monk !

[Rakian_Knight]

I would love to TR as Kobold Monk !

But I would have to go with a Kolbold Air Servant and Kolbold Mechanic for Kolbold Shamans and well Kolbold Mechanic for well the trapsmithing.

Half............Ogre

[Kyuss]

I vote Minotaur! Already have the models in game!

[DawnofEntropy]

Kobold!

This x9 Million don't mess with us Turbine we want us some kobalds. Expect us!

[DawnofEntropy]

Goblins would make a nice new race.

Changelings work good in theory but not in reality. It's a lot easier to say they can change into anything but not anyone without wondering why but they'd understand a good many people would wonder why. Also shapeshifting into an ogre for ten minutes and smashing through a dungeon although tempting isn't suited for an mmo.
