[Idea] Race: Allagan

[AlphaFox]

Though will say, I wouldn't argue with a race that looks like the suggested pictures, might actually tempt me to switch from Lala if we did.

[Ditto]

I wouldn't mind some kind of Allagan themed race, but I doubt we'll get a new race any time soon. Wouldn't be surprised if the next expansion doesn't have a new race too.

If they just threw it in tying us to the Allagans, they'd have to do it in a really subtle way. Something like they wouldn't be Allagans, but maybe a forgotten experiment at creating life through their technology. Then as the Allagans disappeared or died off or whatever, that life adapted over the years and managed to grow the same way any other race would grow.

So just like other races, they'd have an origin and wouldn't be any different than anyone else. Only the Allagans are deep in their lore.

Also, that ship is likely Ark, the 24 man UFO raid we're getting in 3.1.

Yeah, but races are much easier to make then classes. Especially if they are humanoid with a deep twist.

The Allagans are beyond our comprehensions and human reckoning. We can't even comprehend Allagan NPCs, let alone play as one.

It doesn't have to be allagan's themselves but a race they created to take care of the ship.

It would still beyond human reckoning and our understanding! Especially if it's created by the Allagans!

Well.. we wear allagan armor. We understand it protects us...

Plot Twist. When you could get (High) Allagan armor, it was practically useless because everything in SCoB would one shot you regardless of your equipment. Can't even protect you from allagan fires.

Think it also steps on the lore's feet by allowing them to all of a sudden come back. They are a dead civilization. Having them all of a sudden come back from the dead would just trample on the current lore. What is dead should stay dead.

I am thinking people read the thread's title, and reply. Rather then reading the thread.

None of them literally have something so minor of "Weird eyes" though. We've seen tons of complaints about how humanish the current races look, but I'm sure people would be livid at the new race being "Hyur but just only red eyes".

The race I had in mind, may have a human-shape, but would not look human at all. With pretty much hard-plastic looking skin, and robotic eyes, with trails running down their bodies and options for metallic limbs or metallic accessories... No. They may imitate humans but they are far from them.
