Patch 8.3 - Visions of N'Zoth Alliance Allied Race - Mechagnomes
Scrappy and resourceful, mechagnomes have improved their fleshy forms with top-notch prosthetics. Though they once sought to mechanize themselves completely, the mechagnomes now seek a balance between flesh and steel. Emerging from years of isolation on Mechagon, they bring both ingenuity and aptitude to the Alliance. They left Gnomeregan to construct a metal metropolis, Mechagon. However, their once wise and ambitious ruler King Mechagon now ruthlessly rules over them with an iron fist. Work together with the Rustbolt Resistance to overthrow their tyrant so these mechanical mavericks will join the Alliance.

I want one

Still wondering what blizzard was thinking with this. Weird, creepy looking Gnomes with far lesser customization options. Not only is their weird egg torso shape a bit disturbing to look at, but getting rid of customization options in an MMO is pretty much a sin in this genre.

Did u even Blizzcon? xD
They are gonna add tons of customization to all existing races. This includes Allied Races, unless they've said otherwise and I didn't notice

[Alvito]

Is this confirmed yet?
I got the rep and the storyline on my horde main and copied him and another 120 ally twink to the ptr but couldn't unlock the mechagnomes.
The restriction said i have to complete the storyline of mechagon first.
The rep was shown as completed.

Any suggestions?

As somebody who wanted Mechagnomes, Im really not too thrilled with the way they came out. I feel like they couldve been so much better.

[Kaver]

The mount is a little boring.

[Ardourdan]

Will there still be gated nonsense for these races or can we just play them?

I think everyone who wanted a mechagnome wanted them to look more like mimiron. These feel more like halfassed mechagnomes imo. Then again, i dont know lore on the gnomes.

If you played the game for at least a month since the 8.2 then you can play mechagnome as soon as the 8.3 comes out.

And yeah all Allied Races are and will be locked behind some achievements and reputation.

[Dorthonion1]

they vgot nice buts mmm

[LostSinclair]

As much as I despise these hideous things if their "armor diaper" and complete lack of gloves, bracers, boots, and pants(more or less) graphics leads to more exotic allied race options down the line. Like Naga, ogres, Tol'vir or what have you then I will at least be willing to tolerate them. For now all we can do is wait and hope a blue or two decides to run with it.

[Frozenbeef]

We don't like gnomes, why would we want super gnomes...

They arent getting rid of the fundamental problem of legs, hands, feet, and arms now showing.

[kornek21]

does it matter if it's horde or alliance im exalted with rustbolt with?.

[GreenJesus]

Considering transmog is one of the biggest features of the game, the fact you cant transmog so many armor slots and the race is super small and ugly means this race is dead on arrival.

[zenzaliv]

Surprised no one mentioned how completely broken their racials are. Free 250 of your primary stat, a built in dummy taunt and an emergency heal. Mass race changes of alliance raiding guilds incoming.
