Merfolk Race.

[TimtheGreat89]

Ok, so I've scratched out the Idea for Werewolf Shifters in DDO since things will go from bad to worst; resulting in players rage quitting and blah blah etc. But at least Turbine should bring in the Merfolk Race, because I've always wondered what the Merfolk would look like in DDO. I could even make a Mermaid that's Bard specific, or some other class. What do you guys think? Should the Merfolk Race finally be introduced to DDO with a new adventure pack? If yes, please make it so Turbine. It would be so fun, especially swimming around in the sea.

In a role playing adventure any sentient creature can be made as a playable race, with one general rule- they must be able to fit into group dynamics or alternatively played as a nemesis. D&D has in its core rules playable monster races. On the topic of Merfolk you would have to have an entire aquatic campaign setting. You don't see Merfolk on the street corners of Harbor ghettos.

shifters and wheretouched masters fit perfectly in ddo (lore wise)

Merfolk are a waste of time, a underwater action item emulates their entire race.
Lore wise they were never fleshed out all that much for Eberron.
What about the fish smell?

If we had plenty of content related to water it might be ok (although they need magic to walk on land, meaning a disdjunction orb would have them flailing on land like any other fish XD), the dev's have already tried underwater combat and kinda failed (red fens)

Especially the state the game and dev team is in now, i wouldn't keep my hopes up, the latest pack looks terrible and that was a premade pack.
Keeping in mind how the game looks today (old game engine and all), merfolk could look a lot like this:

They might be good for that one Red Fens quest.

And maybe one part of the Crucible.

But really, pretty situational.

This is trolling, I assume

Because of? That´s your reason? Well, for the same reason i would like to Play the Fish-Chicken-Bear race, a bizzare jack-of-all-traits abomination from Ytland, just to see how it would look like.

Maybe I'm just obsessed with awesome mythical creatures such as werewolves and mermaids, I'm just that crazy.

I don't know, I'm just that crazy about werewolves and mermaids because I'm a fantasy based guy.

We really should have troll as a playable race.
