i just was reading a whole bunch of posts about different races people want to play, what if Drainai (sp?) Pandarens Goblins and...i dunno...someone else....Furlbogs(?) team up into a 3rd faction, just for general protection from the constant war of the horde and aliance?

[i know furlbogs dont really make sence, but they are all i could think of. except Naga, but they would'nt make sense... they arentteam players...]

:CYCLOPS:

The Third Faction would probably include:

Drenei
Blood Elves
Naga
???????

And... we don't really need a third faction right now. Two is plenty. But those three races seem to be what makes the most sense if they do sneak a third faction in on us one day.

I'm hoping we get a third faction in some future expansion. That would give us new races to play with and new areas to play in, with a good added plot to boot.

If they do get blood elves in an expantion there should be a spell breaker class

Yap. Spell breakers would be awesome. But one couldn't give them spell immunity methinks. Much too powerful vs casters. But the special throwing weapon would be a must.

Could probably be balanced like the Paladins invulnerability spells.

That would be one hell of a job balancing. I mean it's hard enough (extremely hard even) to balance the 4 races of Warcraft 3. But then again there is no big difference between the races except for looks.

I strongly disagree with that. Warcraft 2 were like that. Starcraft and Warcraft 3 has lots of differences between races. Look at the first unit produced. Grunts are big, expensive, and require three food slots. Ghouls take one, they are cheaper, weaker, they can cannibalize, and they function as UD lumberers.

i made a post on this earlier in a simular thread. i think if there was a new faction it be Illidian's army: Blood Elves and the Naga. however of course, that's not enought races to support a new faction. i was thinking that since this new factions origin would be in the Outlands of Draenor (where Illiadan's armies were), maybe there'd be some orgre left over there. throw in Goblins or Drenai and you got a full new faction with an orginin and all. what do you think?

Yeah it would be sweet with Blood Elves, Naga, Draenei and like demons, so they wouldnt have mages or anything it would be mainly warlocks and stuff.

That'd also come with 2-3 new classes. 1-2 for everyone and then the 'Demon Faction' only class.... not to mention new lands, mobs, items, quests, etc.

It'd be a long time before we see that...

How about Blood Elves, Naga, Dranei, and Nerubians, as a faction.

Nerubians would join during unification of The lich King and Arthas. They would join because like the other three races they seek to destroy the Undead.

Faction Only Class: Spell Breaker

Blood Elves and Naga can become Spell Breakers because both races share an addiction for magic and have taken it from the Demons.

Starting Locations

Blood Elves: The Outland

Naga: Nazjatar

Dranei: The Outland

Nerubians: The Ruins of Azjol-Nerub

For those of you who don't know Nazjatar is the underwater city of Azshara and her former Highborne and Azjob-Nerub is the ruins of the Nerubians capital.

P.S. Illidian is not dead.

Expansion!

There is already gonna be a huge imbalance of Allaince to Horde players adding a 3rd faction would mainly just take from the horde so it would make it even more imbalanced. Server population would be like 2/3 allaince 1/6 horde 1/6 what ever the new faction would be.

if there was a new faction it should be Blood elves, Naga, Dranae, and Satyres.  although, i would much rather prefer new races and Classes for the already existing factions, for example.

for Aliance: The High Elves
Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Priest, and Spell Breakers (asuming High elves have that Class as well)
they have a pretty cool story right now. and i have recently found out that there are actually alot of High elves left, even more than the Blood elves.  when arthas attacked quel'thalas

for the horde im not sure, could be a number of things, ogre, Goblin, Pandarian, who knows.

In regards to these other races/factions that people are asking to see in game:

Be realistic. Blizzard is already getting some pressure to get this game out for the holidays, and if I know Blizzard, they will not release this game unless it is very tested and streamlined. If they had to include this new content for release it would push the release date back at least 2-3 months.

Maybe in some future update, or expansion pack far down the road they will begin to introduce new content on a scale like this, but I wouldn't count on seeing any changes/additions like this for retail or even very soon after.

right right, i agree, this is why we are saying this might all come in a fututre expansion.

I frankly think it would be a neutral faction - blood elves, naga, tauren, and goblins.

3 factions worked so fine in DAoC.. though it would have to probably be a whole new invention of races i think...something new :)

I would like to see the new faction be made up of  Dranei(sp?), Bloodelfs, Naga, and the Panderans.  That would be kind of neat.  However I dont think Blizzard is planning on coming out with a new faction any time soon.

I like the idea of dranei and blood elves being in the same faction. Just hope they dont keep a grudge...

if there was to eb a 3rd faction it would be dranei,blood elfs,halflings,naga
