Do you want Vulpera to be a playable race? [Now with a poll!]

[RoutinelyWorgen]

Yeah you could say this is a bit of a parody of that other thread but it's still meant to highlight the potential of the Vulpera as a player-race.
Personally, I'd really like them to be added and more for the sake of broadening the field for future races in the game rather than sating some sort of "furry fantasy" as more than a few edgelord wannabes like to claim.

Then there's those that take issue to the Vulpera not having been established in WoW's world prior to BfA, though that argument doesn't hold much ground to it given the introduction of the void elves into the game as well as a few other examples from past installments of the franchise.


- Night Elves, Tauren, and a host of races and places were not established before Warcraft III
- Blood Elves, Naga and Draenei were not established until TFT
- Qiraji and Worgen were not established until Vanilla; also Gnomes were completely absent from Warcraft III and TFT and they took a lot of people who started with those games by surprise. Stormwind was also retconned back into existence in Vanilla (it was supposed to be destroyed and abandoned, never appeared in Warcraft III) and Teldrassil was a Vanilla invention.
- Draenei were retconned into being good Eredar in TFT. Also, a lot of races and factions weren't established until then, such as the Arakkoa, Ethereals, Sporelings, Mag'har, Naaru, Infinite Dragonflight, etc.
- Vrykul, Val'kyr, Kvaldir, Wolvar, Gorlocs, Taunka, Iron Dwarves, Frost Dwarves, Mechagnomes, the Grizzly Hills lumber cutters, another World Tree, a rebuilt Dalaran and High Elves that were still part of the Alliance weren't established until Wotlk.
- Pygmies, Hobgoblins, Fire Druids, Gilblins, Ettin weren't established until Cataclysm.
- Mogu, Hozen, Jinyu, Virmen, Saurok, Grummles, Yaungol and Mantid weren't established until MoP.
- Saberon, Botani, Podlings and a few intermediate stages between Gronns and Orges weren't established until WoD.
- Nightborne, Highmountain, Void Elves, Drogbar and The Army of the Light weren't established until Legion. The Broken Isles as a whole were a major retcon from their original lore.
- Tortollans were not a thing until Hearthstone introduced them recently (and even so they are getting retconned, since they were supposed to be native to Un'goro).

But that's just my two cents, on to the topic.

[Techno-Druid]

Sure, I would like to learn about their culture though. Aesthetically they seem to be a shamanistic, tribal race so depending on how Blizzard establishes their culture and ideologies, they may even thematically fit better within the Horde than forsaken, blood elves or nightborne.

I personally hope they're somewhat of a merchant race, but less plutocratic than goblins. Really the whole obsession with money really puts me off of getting into goblins as they genuinely seem to lack a culture outside of money. Imo vulpera should be more in line with nomadic traders like the ones that existed in the Sahara, Arabia and Afghanistan. Maybe divided into various tribes/clans united under the Voldunai faction.

[lordsesho]

yes, they are different and interesting enough to be playable and among all alied races they are the most unique

[Eazy]

What's the point of the bolded text? Because this is nonsense.
Just because it's a new race it doesn't mean it has to be playable and I hope Vulpera isn't one. Why? Because I just don't like them, they look like they were made for furries only.

In before "but there already is [race]?!?!?!1one /cryingbaby" - yes, there is. But just because Blizzard did a mistake it doesn't mean they should do it once again.

Btw. Gnomes were in Wc2, they didn't appear in Wc3 because they had their own busines to settle(with troggs).

[Aeula]

NO!

Gnomes are bad enough without those deviant art rejects.

[Deleted]

No, they are a childlike animal race and we shouldn't give furries with psychological issues any opportunity to work out their fucked up sexual fantasies. I can do without Vulpera hentai

How are they child-like? Outside of being fennec foxes.

[Paraka]

If they can dent the elven population, I'd vote for them.

They're going to do that anyway since they exist in-game as of BFA.

That NEVER stopped them nbefore

[RoutinelyWorgen]

They definitely stand out from the roster as they aren't just some cheap reskin like 4 of the allied races.

Don't give the edgelord attention, it'll just spur him on

[KrakHed]

No. I'd rather them not take development time from the races I've been waiting for.

[Santti]

Indifferent.

I guess they are interesting and different enough for a new playable race. We have a lot of humanized animals in WoW already, so I don't see that as an issue.

Main would still be a troll.

[Fumu]

Sure. They don't look any more out of place in the current roster than Gnomes and Tauren do. The more weird races that aren't just humans with Halloween accessories glued on, the better.

[ReleaseDay]

No.

This.

[RoutinelyWorgen]

For sure! I think it encourages developers to allow for more variety in the Warcraft universe and allow the game to keep going the way it has.

But that's just my two cents, on to the topic.

I feel like you misunderstand the word "Retcon", Retcon means to contradict and ignore previous lore, to change things that are already established, a lot of your used of the word are wrong. For example, Stormwind was not Retconned, it was destroyed and then rebuilt, they did not pretend it it was never destroyed. The Draenei were never stated to be anything else before they were revealed as uncorrupted Eredar, not a retcon. The Nightborne and Void Elves were not retcons, Suramar was always in the Broken Isles and the Nightborne are what they developed into, the void elves again, just another development.

Creating new Lore is not a Retcon unless it ignores previously established Lore. I have no problem with the existence of the Vulpera but i think there are far better races to introduce as allied races.

[Faerillis]

So two things:

1. Short and Childlike aren't the same thing. Beyond their height, you would need to explain how they are childlike.
2. You think playable or unplayable makes a difference in whether or not there will be porn? Alexstrasza and Ysera would like to say hello, and ask Yrel how she feels about Saberon.

OH SORRY

3. Me thinks you doth protest far too much. It's always the Senators who raise the most stink about homosexuality you end up finding in an Airport Men's Room

This says an awful lot about you really.

[Cosmic Janitor]

No, I can't stand midget races. Them being furry is the even worse. The only thing missing now would being pedo-bait, but I think Blizzard (at least for now) still knows better than to go for that.

[Traveler Voltin]

Tauren, worgen, and pandaren.
You logic is invalid

[Whitedragon]

Stormwind was also retconned back into existence in Vanilla (it was supposed to be destroyed and abandoned, never appeared in Warcraft III)

This is untrue, It was actually rebuilt between the events of WC2 and WC2 Beyond the dark portal. The first Alliance mission in BtDP tasks you with bringing your heroes there.

As for the topic, ya I hope they get added to the Horde, I also hope Ally get the sethrak.
