Please make Sea Elves a playable race. I Imagine they are the same size as other elves but with greener skin/hair options. It would be an easy race to add since there has not been a new one in a while.

    There is no sea in Neverwinter, so why exactly?
    Definitely not an Arc User.

    Ummm...Neverwinter is on the ocean, you know. And sea elves are already a part of the game.

    That said, OP, there is a big thread for requesting new races. Might want to post this there.

    Of all the things this game is in dire need of. More elves isnt one of them.

    Well, I doubt we are getting any more difficult races that require them to re-size all the armors to fit that size of character body.

    Copy halflings and give us gnomes?

    That's the only 2 easy ones i can think of :D

    There are a lot of other subraces they can do first. Most current races only have a single option. Elves, on the other hand, currently have 5, 6 if you count half-elf. The next most diverse race is Dragonborn with only 2 options, and one of those is locked in a lockbox that is no longer available.

    We have more then enough elves.

    I'd be cool with that too. I am ignorant of the subraces so picked something in-game I found interesting and thought would be easy.

    I would prefer a completely new race. Instead of reashing the same thing forever let's make just one thing new.

    Ideally, but, I am offering suggestion to do something (i think) is a relatively light workload. it seems to be the way things are going.

    Like Sockmunkey said, other subraces could be an easy(?) option too.

    Variances of halfings, tieflings, whatever that basically look the same, but with hair/skin tone variances. That way they don't have to rework armor sizes, animations etc.

    It means Zeb is going to chide you and either lock this thread or merge it.

    Oh, incidentally, in a recent AMA on Reddit, they said they'd like to add more races, but in light of how grindy and alt-unfriendly the game is right now, it isn't a good time for it. If they make the game more alt-friendly again (soonTM), people will not feel so much like making yet another character is a terrible idea. At least they're a little self-aware.

    As this idea involves the recycling of old assets, there is no need to ask for it, as its likely already in development and will come out soon (tm). However, don't get too hyped up about it, as they won't be releasing the full race, only the leveling version.

    heh, more likely gated behind a lockbox :P

    Hmm maybe vampires locked behind a vampiric lockbox. Player could choose any of the current races to be a vampire but with glowing red eyes! Easy right? And vamps are popular!
  • fantasycharacterfantasycharacter Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 675 Arc User
    Actually if they make vampire bite tokens, kind of like a race re-roll, then that also negates the argument of not releasing a race because ppl won't want to level it.

    Ugh, from Aquaman to Twilight. The trend of this topic is not improving.

    Don't make me go all vampiric sea elf on you, it is not pretty!

    I'm working on some gnomes (see really short half-elves) and svirfneblin (deep gnomes, which are actually shrunken bald Drow elves) in one of my Foundry quests. Not that people are going to play it, but it's kind of fun trying to get the proportions right.

    If you get them to a point where you are willing to show them, post us pictures :D

    Vampire is not a race since a while now.

    Vampire bite token from the other hand, not bad idea if it would merge with race u have ( tho if we get vampire token i want also werewolf, wererat, weretiger, and even wererhino token ;p and ofc zombie token!)

    Yeah, that was the original idea, a token that would change you from "elf", "human", "halfling", whatever to "elf vampire", "human vampire", "halfling vampire" etc.

    Maybe it would change one of the racial abilities or add one, and some facial effects like red eyes and elongated canine teeth? idk.

    were beasts sound cool too :D

    If they wanted to release all 3 in a theme pack. An opposite of the adorable bites theme would be horrific bite tokens that infect one with a zombie, vampire, lycanthropic virus :P

    I actually laughed. Thanks!- You can have Vampire aquaman if I can have weaponized glitterbombs. Oh- And a title 'Vampire Slayer' So I can change my TRs name to Buffy.
