Antromorphic Races = Furries

ArchivedUser

is there any plans to include animal races in ashes of creation and if not would that be possible, coming from a furry fan would like to see more animal races in mmorpg games since being animal race should be basic thing of fantasy game to be as.

i would myself like to see cat, fox, wolf races, and i also feel like animal races would fit into universe of the game like agile cat rogue climbing walls and stuff that would be cool to see.

I've been thinking this too. But, take a look at the Stretch Goals on KickStarter Page. At the 2.5 Million Goal.

Its quite possible that they might do just that.
If not, why not try to ask them about it :o ?

Steven did say rat race incoming (albeit jokingly) but I'm sure if enough people push they'll probably add additional races in the future of Ashes

I'm personally hoping for, at the minimum, skin class level rewards that will let you alter your appearance, since so much seems to be tied to the " core " races in the game.

Fully developed races would be nice, but the story is a little more about larger civilizations colonizing a world from what I'm gathering; not to mention the need for TONS of iteration on interactions and skills etc that are influenced by race. Its a point that needs to be carefully considered since it has story impact.

The precedent is set by the angelic/ demonic skin, I just hope that Intrepid recognizes one of the values that resonates with "doing it right " for an MMO includes the ability to choose your character. I have friends who are turning down investigating the game because it does not offer them the ability to play what they want, yet.

Howdy!!!!!! I can't really answer that question, but its possible especially with the under-realm class being unlocked! They also want to keep it Medieval type view not so much Fluffy cuteness

But none of the less you can always post your question Here and hope it gets answered on Tuesday 3pm PDT live stream!!

yeah seems thats a case and yes i am going to ask about this more in streams and stuff i just want to make sure theyre actually furry like and not weird human animal hybrid monstrosities like in most games that disappoint me so much on that content.

like Archeage, Tera, Blade and soul, Guild wars 2 and even world of warcraft just messed animal races so bad only good animal race so far has been tauren in wow who are cow/bull people.

just for love of furry god make them more animal than human x.x

ouh i dont actually mean cute fluffy things but more beasty and fierce like cool wolf race or cunning fox thief, like i said lot of games just make animal races either cuteness side of races or just some weird thing that no one wants to see.

found that image on google about a fox rogue for example and something like this could fit nicely for their theme like more realistic and medieval animal races.

Ah I gotcha! and I played wow for 11 years so you don't need to explain the races to me lol, but anyways Yeah that picture I would love to see a race like that in the game my self

Unfortunately the game is still in Pre-alpha we haven't really even seen the races we have currently! I kinda got my hopes for the Elf I hope they look good or im more likely going human!

Well I think it has been mentioned that the new underrealm race will have scales and fur but not the quite the creature you're looking for. I'm personally not a fan of cute animal races and wouldn't be disappointed if we never get them but I know a lot of people like and I agree with you @Nyragrim they would look more realistic like the picture you posted ^^

ArchivedUser

Yeah They want AoC to keep the medieval type feel as much as possible so if they add something it will defiantly match with other races! on the realistic look

ArchivedUser

I personally always wanted Gnolls and Lizardmen. They're crittery enough and could easily hit the theme.
It'd take some sort of super character creation tool, but could you imagine being able to make custom races in an MMO?

@JcTruper

"Fluffy Cuteness" ? Lols,

If you look at the Underrealm Stretch Goal you will see an illustration that looks to me like rats/skavens. I, too, would like to see a non-human playable race.

ArchivedUser

you just have to wait till the tuesday livestream. there they will unveil the underrealm race and we will see how furry they are. but i don't think they will fit the usual furry taste of anthropomorphic animals, but humanoids with animal traits
