    Centaur WOULD be cool, because I can't offhand think of any MMORPG that has them as a playable race. Of course the reason for this it would require an entirely new model/skeleton with a complete set of animations, (IE a lot of work)

    Agreed, I'd actually PLAY Neverwinter if something other than a bipedal race was here. Centaurs FTW!

    /also like Averial elves or pixies, for those AD&D fans.
    Travel Power/Costume suggestions.

    Example of Comet Flight: Here.

    Any humanoid non elven race would be awesome. And make it free. I hardly see any dragonborn or moon elves around.

    We have those birdmen in Spinward Rise.... that really looks like a strong hint.

    I also voted for Gnome. Although 'reiwulf' I will agree we should have free options available, however I do see quite a few Dragonborn although perhaps less moon elves. I suspect the reason is Dragonborn you require to purchase to acquire, yet those wanting an Elf have two free options which are still quite good--cryptic needs to add a small additional trait to Moon Elves.

    At first I wanted to see Minotaur yet realized the Dragonborn would be diminished if that occured or it likely place them into a similar pay only option. Then I realized Gnomes offers up the perfect contrast to the existing races offered today, similar to Elves could have 2 generally available and one purchased that is more rare, that perhaps includes an additional trait, diverse skin tones & hairstyles.

    Seems the majority currently agree with me. Gnomes leading the pact at >18% of the vote.

    Githyanki were cool, but as I stopped 3.5 edition, I'm not even sure if they are still existing :)

    Only two proposed races have nostalgia for 100% of fans of all ages.

    Humanoids and gnomes.

    I'll admit I can't argue with the above comment -- it likely has a lot to do with what is still the largest precentage of the popular unscientific poll that was open over the summer. :o

    Centaur!
  • divitusdivitus Member Posts: 6 Arc User
    Agh!! So many choices, and not a single one I have a clue about! SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THESE RACES ARE!!!

    Would be great to add template path... Vampire, Werewolf/Tiger/Rat, Half-Celestial/Fiend/Dragon may add 10 lvls of 70-80
  • balorinbalorin Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 132 Arc User
    If we follow the storyline there are only three possible choices.

    -Genasi for the MOD 6-7.
    -Aasimaar (to fight against evils vilains or gnomes/deep gnomes(native we already have the drows). MOD 8.

    I've been wanting to play a Mind Flayer since the game has been released.

    Please make Illithid a playable Race!!!
  • teatewteatew Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 61 Arc User
    I hope its a Genasi, those sound really cool. Please god not another game with a crappy gnome race!!! Id rather have leprechauns than gnomes!!

    I agree. Maybe a Deep Gnome to go with Underdark expansion? My Svirfneblin cleric/thief was one of my fave pen and paper characters.

    p.s. I voted Other because I didn't see gnome until after I voted. But now there doesn't seem to be a way to view or change my vote.
  • kemnimtarkaskemnimtarkas Member Posts: 838 Arc User

    ...
    Deep Gnomes are also in 5E and are missing from the poll. Given that the next campaign module should be Underdark focussed (as that's the next PnP story), they are also a good candidate.

    That is what I'm thinking. If a new race is introduced during Underdark, you'd think there'd have to be an Underdark tie-in. And the only playable races I know of in Underdark not already present are gnomes and kobolds...well, and duergar, but that's not a new race, just a dwarf alt.

    The other obvious option would be aasimar - we have tieflings already, and the Mod 8 content is supposed to focus on demons, so that also would make sense from a story perspective. If we were going to get genasi, I'd think they'd have used the Mod 6 content as a springboard for that.

    No new race for mod 8. Confirmed by the french staff.

    This has been known for a while as it was stated by Strumslinger some time back in a livestream and then again not too long ago. :)

    Even though we are not getting a new race this mod, I am wondering if the next race may not be the Ilithid, as there seem to be lots of models for them running around the new underdark city. So it would not be too hard for them to translate it to a playing character.

    Wanna see Furyan, and Necromonger race.
    There is a better way the Necromonger way...
  • kvetkvet Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 2,700 Arc User
    no shock, they have to do *new* work to make a new race. Since Gnome is the only race in the 5e PHB that isn't already represented, my money's on one or more varieties of Gnome. Dragonborn is in the PHB too - it's not out of the realm of possibility, but I think it's most likely they'll put out the core races before shifting to the expansion ones. But, all the talk about D&D playable races from other worlds - you can just stop that talk now, they'll only put in races that WotC has made PLAYER races in the FR lore. So... you won't see Minotaurs or Warwhatevers from Eberon or Mind Flayers (never an official player race) or Vampires or Were-critters. At best, they may someday introduce lycanthorpy as a curse or disease (I doubt it, it would require to much creativity), but never as a player race.

    Genasi were introduced as a 5e player race in Elemental Evil, so maybe them. But, I'd bet on Gnomes being first.
  • miyamaruimiyamarui Member Posts: 10 Arc User
    I can't decide, Changeling or Genasi, though I really think there should be a Jinn or D'jinn race. :D
