9.0 prepatch allied race

[Kemsa]

Can I haz Centaur, now pls?

On that, I would love to see Saberon and Botani as playable, (Saberon for the Horde!). But with the crap we did to them in WoD, I’m willing to be that’s a no and the Botani are (I think) parasitic, using anything else other than them as a breeding ground to grow. I forget, there was a quest to rescue an Orc child but they never did harm him...I can’t remember what they planned to use the child for.

I main Horde but as with the Kul Tirans, I’m also looking forward to playing mechagnomes and Vulpera.

I played both side in Voldun... I can’t see how the Sethrakk would join the Alliance...they only have one quest in escorting Vorthik (?) to the temple to deliver the crystal thing and that was it. Horde wise, we have multiple quest in helping them kill the Faithless and help revive Sethraliss.

Saberon were savage because the land of Draenor was actually like a Prehistoric age, everything was "dire" so their way of life was tied to the Orcs, the Ogres and the Grons. THe pack that was transfered to Azeroth that probably was more than 3 (seeing how the Horde now has more than 25 gian Grons with mounted mortars) and the land of the Barrens its not so "dire" and savage like Draenor.

Arround the Botani, yes they are parasite plants, but because the Overgrowth, the Hivemind they had on Draenor was focusing only in growth growth and growth, thats the reason why Aggramar created the first Grons and lead to their derivates of Ogres, gronites and orcs. Now on Azeroth, it shouldnt be a problem because here we have Druids that can comune with them, i actually see Malfurion making tieds to them.

For te other part of the Sethrak on the alliance, up to this date i still believe that many alliance players never play the Horde side or they believe that everything with 2 legs can be an allied race or probably needs 2 hands at least. Sethrallis is even bound to the Horde by achievements and to the Throne of Zandalar because its there were she has also followers, makes no sense that Sethrallis becomes enemy of Zandalar in general (this means Dazar a lor, voldun and nazmir) So yeah.... i think they are crazy.

Factually, no.

There is no debate to be had here.

Some moderator please create a mega thread or a sub forum for allied races. I'm sick of people suggesting racoons & frogs as allied races.

Heyyyy.. that's pretty good.

Mechagnomes are more liely than Vulpera, they have all the customizations, are a derived race and will be able to get the new 9.0 class.

Mechagnomes are the Alliance equivalent of the Horde Vulpera.

Sadly.

Sadly.

But Mechagnomes look cool and will have an entire patch of development. The only problem with that is that the Horde will get another unique race, with it's own culture etc, while the Alliance gets another "subrace".

[I am disappoint]

They are literally the Pandaren model. Fat humans and fat pandas. They have exactly the same forms. You're right, there is no debate to be had here. Cause you're wrong.

[Mighty Parrot]

...I’m actually confused...aside from the Alliance having the most evil beings as a race and used as punting sport...the idea of the mechagnomes causes most of the community to go into a fit. Your getting a cyborgish race! Albeit they are still the most evil and puntable race ever, but they’re CYBORGS. (Technically)

Yes. The Vulpera are thematically their own race, while Mechagnomes are just Gnomier Gnomes, sadly.

That's not how it works and it's comical how ignorant yet smug you are about your limited knowledge of 3D art.

Though I personally prefer mechagnomes, the feeling that the Horde is getting everything they want and the alliance gets what they (in general) don't want, makes it look like bias.

They should give alliance the high elves (or HE customization for Void Elves) and give them vrykuls or something cool.

8.2.5 might be related to Helya the tying knot between Sylvanas and Azshara and something related to Drust since KT is not entirely Drust.

Because it doesn't matter. Previous interactions aren't the deciding factor, otherwise HM Tauren wouldn't be killing the Alliance members that saved them from certain doom, and LF Space Goats wouldn't be killing the Horde members that ended their 10,000 year war against the Burning Crusade. If Blizzard thinks it's cool and would fill a niche, they'll make up new content in the coming patches to fill the void and give them an excuse, like they did with Tyrande being skeptical to the Nightborn was all it took to push them one way or another.

[Hallowseve17]

People want allied races from the old world besides that is the whole idea of gathering races we met in the past and seek allies... getting a new race which no one knows goes against the whole allied race idea.

I'm with you. I want allied races from the old world. I just said "newer and brand new" because that's what Blizzard has been doing. I wish they give us already established allied races first, before introducing new ones.

[Zyrinx]

Factually, no.

EQ had/has them (playable frogs).

[seleri]

Won't know until we see what 8.3 is about.

Hopefully Vulpera and Mechagnomes will be 8.2.5 instead of 8.3.5/9.0. If Mechagnomes are the final Alliance race of BfA, I'll feel so bad for Alliance mains.

[Zandalariprelate]

I doubt they will add the new feature of BFA to the new one, they said after bfa the number of allied races will decrease by a large margin.

[ashblond]

Kobold, Gnoll, Trogg, Pygmy and Ogre for horde.

[Bangdingow]

We're getting Tinkerers via Vulpera and Mechagnome, I'd put money on it. Both races are scavengers and tinkerers of sorts and the new class would follow Blizz's new class every other xpac history.

[pacotaco]

I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like "next allied races would be added when make sense". That doesn't imply that they'll decrease new releases.

[Alga]

Yeah but more in a way like, it would be a really nice extra additionally for this patch after helping out with the people on the 9.0 content and saved them entirely in 9.1, so we add them in 9.1.5 cause they are thankful or smth. So I would guess they will maybe gave us in the future maybe 1 or if the content makes sense 2 AR in a future addon, but they will have way longer spans between them.

Basically I support his thought, but I think until 8.2.5 we don't know how they will handle AR for the rest of BFA.
