From what we have seen of this upcoming allied race, they have a severe amount of restriction in regards to how much they can customize their armor/transmog.
Specifically, they literally cannot equip boots, gloves, or bracers, and part of their chest armor and most of their leg armor does not show up. I haven't tested the head armors, but I'm sure the head alterations can clip and clash with many types of head armors. However, using those is totally optional anyways. It's also worth noting that some of the smaller shoulder armors clip badly with the arms, though this may be a bug.
How do you feel about this? Do you think it's okay, or do you feel like Blizzard should allow armor to be equipped over the mechanical parts, or perhaps something else entirely?
Personally I'm kind of conflicted on this. On one hand, I do really like the race and its theme, and I am okay with the mechanical parts standing out, but on the other hand, it's going to limit what you can do with them because the arms and legs will stick out like sore thumbs. And if you don't have armor that goes with the 3 color scheme options for them, it will probably look (and feel) bad.
PS: Please note that this is not a thread to vent about how much you hate mechagnomes or gnomes in general. Please take that to a different thread; if you hate this race there really isn't much to discuss here and there are plenty of threads for you to release your frustration in or whatever else. I'd also prefer if we don't compare them to Vulpera or other allied races (i.e., another race has better options, it's unfair to mechagnomes, etc.), and instead just talk about what you'd like to see done with this race on its own merits. Thanks for understanding!
