    Do you have your Vulpera reputation readied?

    I mean... it’s obvious mechagnomes and Vulpera will be the next allied races in 8.3 Do you have the Volundai rep at exalted and will you be playing a Vulpera? If so what class? I’ll probably make a Vulpera rogue

    I swear to god, mechagnomes will be the beautiful capstone of disappointment on the mediocrity mountain of allied races.

    I know it's very likely coming but holy shit is it a waste of time to develop a race that unpleasant looking.

    Well, your own opinion, of course. Unpleasant looking for me would be Night Elves, Forsaken, Orcs and such.

    I could see Blizzard making Vulpera and Mechagnomes "early access" for people who prepurchase the next expansion, but beyond that I'm as ready as I'll ever be. During the last character service sale I bought race changes for several characters in anticipation of Vulpera.

    Yea, ofcourse. It's been months since BFA came out, I'd be amazed if someone actually didn't have it all on exalted by now unless they legitimately don't even play the game at all.

    There's people without every BfA faction exalted on at least 1 character at this point?

    Not to mention Lightforged Draenei that also look just like Draenei when wearing armor and DiD that look just like regular dwarves when wearing armor. Alliance has some of the most boring races tbh. Regular humans, medium sized humans, small humans, fat humans, furry humans, Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Dwarves, dark iron dwarves, night elves and void elves.

    Either way, I’m really hoping for something different. Something that’s new and unique visually. Look at how popular Zandalari/Void elves are. They’re two races that look very different visually and provide a new aesthetic for each side. The least popular ones are the ones that could’ve easily been customization for the regular races. Now we’re about to get gnomes with more customization and horde will get something that looks completely new. I’m not upset about what horde gets I just dislike the alliance allied races so far, feels kinda low effort.

    Regardless I don’t play horde that much but I wouldn’t make a vulpera even if I were exalted. Just don’t like the style and they probably wouldn’t be able to be Paladins so it doesn’t matter anyway.

    Couldn't possibly agree more... Aren't gnomes already like, the least played race on Alliance? Why the hell would we need a copy of the least played race on the faction?
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.

    Things like good racials, interesting races, or even cinematics aren't to be wasted on the Alliance. It just really seems like Blizz is out of touch with their player-base and or just shrug off negative commentary from the community in lieu of whatever echo-chamber of ideas they have going on at HQ.

    So like Lightforged Draenei and Dark Iron Dwarves.

    We're used to it.

    I really really really hope that Vulpera never become an allied race. I don't want more damned furry bait.

    At least from what I've seen on my server, Maghar are actually super popular. Half of the warriors I see are brown orcs...

    Well, that'l like... your opinion, man. I guess you personally dislike them and are Alliance thus screwed, but the fault is kind of on you for picking the weak faction anyway.

    I said looks new not feels new. The animations will be similar but it looks completely new whereas mechagnomes look the like regular gnomes with a bit of customization and also feel like regular gnomes. I think vulpera also have a few unique animations but I can’t remember. Either way if you line up vulpera against goblin nobody would believe you if you said they were the same, that’s how different they look.

    Who hasn't the basic reps at exalted by this point?

    The customization maghar have is pretty damn cool though. They have multiple different skin colors and tattoos from all different orc tribes, different hairstyles, etc. Sure, it doesn’t feel new but the customization is plenty. Compare it to LFD which has like 3 tattoo types, a little thing on the forehead that’s impossible to see and that’s pretty much it outside of a few hairstyles. Dark irons I’d argue are a bit closer to maghar, they look pretty great at the very least.

    I’m not sure if maghar is as popular as Zandalari though, can’t remember. All I remember is looking at Zandalari/KT/Velf/LFD, Zandalari and velf being the most popular while another type of human race on alliance and another type of Draenei race on alliance are the least popular. Could be different by now tho.

    Of course not, it will happen in patch 8.2.5 around September-October. Wait and see.

    Looks like it will be another Alliance whinefest (+ some more from antyfurry Horde) - not only they get only Mechagnomes, but also they need to max out 8.2 reputation, instead of 8.0 one like Horde. So repeat from 7.3.5.
