    Horde [Alpha] Blizz GM plays as Vulpera



    Source

    It was on the Horde too. I suppose the nightmare will eventually become a reality...

    Hopefully he was just trolling.

    Nope, it was pretty obvious to everyone that they'll become an allied race at some point.

    I mean GMs have access to the ability to change their model, and I thinnnnkkkk their race?

    I'm surprised the Vulpera have proper tooltips set up, though. I guess that's just by default if you're in chrraces now?

    Now they must add it, otherwise these threads will never stop, like with High Elves.

    There are some npc races that have tooltips set up for them. Naga and Fel Orcs at the very least do.

    That said the Vulpera are sure to be playable in the future.

    GMs can do that with just about any model they please.


    And most races have tooltips like that when you hover over the player, for instance the toy that turns you into a naga will change your race label.

    That said, does feel like an intentional tease

    Good thing there is so much Vulpera Lore.

    Oh wait, there is not, even after you play through all of Vol'dun you can figure out all there is to them just by knowing they live in the desert, they're not even the focus of the story at any point.

    It's so hard for people to understand that they are now building every race as a playable race, but it doesn't mean they will be playable.

    On the other hand, it also means if you want to be a freaking Vulpera, you'll be able with tmorph if it still works.

    I mean it's not like 3/4 of the Legion Allied Races had the exact same problem.

    Vulpera go far beyond just that part. They've got a lot of work done on them even by the standards of Allied Races.

    Besides, they're doing that only for select NPC races as well, not all of them.

    /spawn Void Elves

    Do you think Blizzard cares about lore when they want to do something that they think it's good? They will force the hand of fate.

    No. No they aren't.

    Highmountain Tauren - Entire Zone dedicated to them, also portrayed as (yet) another cousin to the Tauren.
    Nightborne - Entire Zone dedicated to them, also portrayed as cousin to Nightelves and Bloodelves.
    Lightforged Draenei - A lot of screentime on Argus, also portrayed as lightbuffed Draenei.
    Void elves - An asspull but at least offshot to a playable race.

    So yeah, with the exception of Void elves, the current playable races were at least heavily featured in the zones they appeared in, the Vulpera aren't even that relevant within the only zone they appear in.

    But they aren't. Not to the level of vulpera. At all.
