The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

If tinkers ever are released then all races should be able to be one, would make no sense otherwise imo.

[NikolaiShade]

Class could be Titan tech-based but with glyphs for the goblin an gnome aesthetic but also glyphs for draenei and blood elf crystal tech. That or they do race-based class skins.

Mine was a simple example, personally I would implement racial variations for many classes/specs

[Teriz]

wow, talking about stretching the truth. From "No bro! only goblins and gnomes, absolutely nobody else. LFD and Burning Legions have mechs? THat is not real tinkering!!!"
to: "No bro! Vulpera are tinkers"

lol

I’ve said that Vulpera work as a Tinker race for quite some time due to them utilizing the Goblin skeleton and “Junker tech” fitting their race.

Exactly this.. it's pretty much like real life. Anyone can start tinkering with stuff, and learn the processes of creating items, vehicles etc etc through education. Claiming that somehow only goblins and gnomes are capable of learning tech? That's just hilarious.

[Leowyld]

Vulpera are clever and resourceful, they would make excellent inventors and mechanics with access to the right resources. No, they don't have tech like that in Vol'dun, because they just don't have access to the materials to build it and they are more focused on just survival. There is a Vulpera named Tinkerin' Taji, though. One of the leaders of the expedition is a vulpera. The creator of the Artisan's Consortium is a vulpera. Don't underestimate their capabilities because of the humble origins that were largely forced upon them.

A past of being subjugated by others due to their size. They could view tech as an equalizer.

Again that’s simply the lore justification. Blizzard would do it because of ease of development and giving players an alternative to Gnomes and Goblins.

It's still incredibly funny that the fox people would become tinkers by "scavenging" robots from a race they just met while orcs would not despite being the sidekicks on nearly every goblin engineering-related escapade in the last two decades.

Please can we have another leak?

[Well Done Steak]

None, but we saw plenty of Human, Undead, Blood Elf, Gnome, and Draenei monks before MoP. Also its kind of hard to justify the argument that other races can't learn martial arts when every race has a warrior class.

It's you can't justify blanket tinkers when anyone can learn engineering?

Literally what's stopping any race from being a tinker?

Let's not lie here and call it what it really is.

Because Orcs a big hulking monsters with immense strength and strength in Shamanistic magic. They don’t need mechs like Gnomes and Goblins do.

[Izalla]

But the next stage of the hype thread will only have just begun.

Overanalyizing every pixel of new footage and ounce of content and predicting the next 5 expansions based on it.

Don't forget endless "beta hasn't started yet so this expac isn't coming out until second quarter 2025" doomposting!

[Raetary]

Isn't it obvious?

They don't share the goblin rig, therefore that somehow makes them unable to pick up a screwdriver, or sit inside of a piloted mech.

Do know that I will be tweeting out the hype train (with due credit) as it is reaching those sublime pre-BlizzCon levels of perfection.

All good, feel free to post it wherever you like!

And why Draenei of the Army of the Light use mechs even though they are not small and weak like gnomes and goblin?

[Nightshade711]

Vulpera use the Goblin skeleton, and lore wise it makes sense for Vulpera to adopt technology given their past.

Using the goblin skeleton ≠ being goblins.
Unless that means Jinyu/Ankoan are actually Night Elves because they use the same skeleton.

So their past of scavenging in a desert somehow makes them able to be tinkers, but a race of people known for their technology/have been commonly seeing using mech suits can’t be tinkers?

[Joszef Kiprich]

Would be funny if we had a tech based expansion where all races can be tinkers except for goblins and it was called Maintenance Mode?

[Bwgmon]

Because Orcs a big hulking monsters with immense strength and strength in Shamanistic magic. They don’t need mechs like Gnomes and Goblins do.

You... do know that not every orc is a warrior or shaman, right? You do know that the chief engineers of the Horde during Vanilla were a mix of orcs and goblins, right?

[Nightshade711]

WoD disproves this because we have orcs piloting mechs & shredders.

Are you really just gonna completely ignore all of the Orc engineers and their tech that we got from Garrosh and the Iron Horde?

Industrialization is very much part of the Orc aesthetic at this stage.

Because everyone learning engineering isn’t lore based. Professions are an optional activity that your character can engage in. Further, nothing states that the profession is the basis of the hero character.
