Recent datamining has uncovered a Heart of Azeroth animation on Gilgoblin male and females. It has been discovered that 9 new animations have been added to the Gilgoblin male. There was 281 and its now up to 290. The Gilgoblin female has 290 as well. I am unsure which other animations exactly where added, but there were new animations added upon the Nazjatar release. Mechagnomes have also been found to have a heart of Azeroth animation on them too. Now Nazjatar and Mechagon have only been out a short time so it makes me wonder if later on they are going to be getting cutscene data or other stuff pertaining to them being potential allied races. Both seem to have a lot a huge amount of story relevance in the new areas too and Gilblins/Kelfin I suspect may get a model update 8.2.5 like other race variants have in past player model updates.

If gilgoblins become playable its only cause they saw how shit mechagnomes looked compared to vulpera.

If gilgoblins become playable its only cause they saw how shit mechagnomes looked compared to vulpera.

Or that the story moved away from Vulperia.

The only problem with that is, both the Vulpera and Gilgoblins side with the Horde.

The Alliance just straight up don't have any datamined Allied races coming that I know of, unless you count thin Kul'Tirans which were data mined, but vanished as an option.

Just like how the story move away from alt Dreanor and yet we got Maghar.

And with all the work they put into them I don't think a storyline that they themselves created would stop them.

What I mean is them giving Horde a shitty race to compare to Mechagnomes.

[Alanar]

No one cares about these smaller races as off * new * options.
I mean vulpera, mechagnomes, gilgoblins.. no one seems to be interested in these..
The only one of these 3 that got a small fan base is the vulpera.
We can all name 3 other races that are more interesting then these 3.

[RangerDaz]

I mean vulpera .. no one seems to be interested in these..

I have seen exactly the other way around.
Lots of people interested on Vulpera.
But also lots of haters as well.


Btw gilgoblins are damn f*** ugly. Has anyone asked about them becoming playable?

I mean, it's theoretically possible they decided to make Gilgoblins the Mechagnome counterpart and are giving Alliance something else to go with Vulpera. I wouldn't count on it, since changing plans according to player feedback isn't really something Blizzard does anymore, but it's possible.

That said I don't think this really means anything. Sethrak got the HoA animation too awhile back.

[redfinale]

while i would love to have the vulpera as a horde player, all the allied races have been variants of existing races we could already play. vulpera, while using the goblin skeleton for design purposes, are an entirely new race on their own. given that, chances are high we'll see the water goblins and the mechagnomes as new allied races for their respective sides if new allied races are added.

[Lahis]

Gilgoblins use Goblin animations.

Goblins are player characters, and thus have Heart of Azeroth animations.

[Nyel]

Vulpera for Horde never made sense unless Alliance would be given an equivalent race instead of Mechagnomes. Gilgoblins fits way better as the counterpart to Mechagnomes.

[Voidwielder]

Makes sense, they are updating the base Goblin model in 8.2.5 so there is a lot of overlap between these and Goblins.

They look totally better than Vulpera.

My exact thought. However, we have to check whether it is different.

There are no "thin" female kul'tirans, for one. So I doubt that's going to happen.


Frankly, Gilgoblins are WAY more in line with mechagnomes than vulpera are.

Allied races, thus far, have most certainly been "equivalent" races for already existing races. The vulpera aren't an "equivalent" of any existing playable race.

[Magicon]

Maybe we get 2 for each side xD mechagnomes and the Ankoan for alliance and vulpera and gilgoblins for the Horde.

[Amaterasu65]

Gilgoblins and Mechagnomes could be possible. However it's gonna be funny how one Nazjatar faction joins the Horde but the Ankoan won't join. And they deffo will not join the Alliance, not even female models exist to begin with.

It's also amazing how another neutral race will just join their cousins' faction, despite the opposite faction helping them as well. Also Vulpera are kinda bland, they don't bring anything special to the Horde. They ain't proper fighters.

[Caerule]

I don't see why people think Allied Races have to be in line with each other. That pattern only holds true for Kul Tirans and Zandalari so far. And that wasn't even Blizzard's original intention. Kul Tirans were planned for a much later release, but they thought people would riot over that.

There's no reason why it can't be Vulpera. However, if it is Vulpera, Blizzard could have done a better job at seeing them get involved with the Horde. I'll grant you that.

As for Gilblins, yeah we are getting involved with them now. But they live in Nazjatar. Their culture is all about the ocean. I am not certain I could picture them walking around in Orgrimmar.

There is already an established reason in the lore as to why the Ankoan Waveblade will not be playable : they are a dying tribe, their numbers are too few to be sustainable, their sole reason to live is to fight and die against the naga to avenge their fallen kin.

That said, the Waveblade do mention other tribes that exist (but are not fighting back) so I guess it could technically be possible for them to be playable someday, but they wouldn't be "our" Ankoans.

I really doubt it though.

Vulpera are completely inconsequential to the story besides your emotional attachment to their fur.
