Ethereals, Naga, Ogres, Krokul, Arakkoa, Vrykul, etc. These races have far more lore than Vulpera and have been requested for much, much longer. I find it bizarre that Vrykul weren't given to the Alliance due to their prominence in Legion, but it would be even stranger if they continue to not be playable.
For me other than I find them horribly creepy, Blizzard had so many more options for playable races than a fur covered goblin with a squashed female worgen head.
No. No one is making anyone roll any specific race. But I feel Blizzard could have put those resources into so many other races people have begged for for 10+ years AND could actually fit into old & new lore.

Re: Vulpera hype
My only issue with Vulpera are their faces, bc whoever is designing them clearly had a play with the female worgen . But I wouldn't mind more small or even cute race types.zedxrgal wrote: For me other than I find them horribly creepy, Blizzard had so many more options for playable races than a fur covered goblin with a squashed female worgen head.

But I'm personally more in favor of "primitive" races becoming playable. I would love playing as a gnoll or murloc, which would be hilarious if the factions somehow earned the adoration of a tribe of them
Or if we have to have a cute small race, give us the Frenzyheart, they're way too adorable

Re: Vulpera hype
They were at one point the stereotypical savage and primitive bestial monster-people living an oppressive lie, ruled by false gods and the priesthood, and now, they're among the most technologically advanced races in the universe, with rifles, cannons and armored vehicles. They absolutely abhor religion and live in a rigid militarized society where your warband is more important than your blood family.
We don't know much about vulpera but right now they're just... tiny, weird-looking fox people that from appearances alone, none of my characters would want to interact with during RP. I saw someone suggest giving them tails, which just hurt my soul more.

Re: Vulpera hype
Tbh I think that would make them look more like a fox race, than a goblin rat. I think the tail is a nice touch on other races, so if they fix the proportions of their bodies and add a tail, it can improve some things in their design.zedxrgal wrote:I'm sorry but I totally lol-ed at this.

I'd say make the limbs slightly longer and thinner..and look more bestial, rather than humanoid. Right now they just look elongated and squashed in all the wrong ways imo. Like for example, the goats, tauren, and worgen all limbs specific to/matching their race. I'd want the same for the Vulpera, instead of giving them humanoid legs with furry clawed hobbit feet.

Re: Vulpera hype
But I loveeee the vulpera and I'll be thrilled if they get added someday. If not, I'm hoping the worgen get updated to at least that level of customization. As for sethrak, I could take them or leave them, but I'll. As for JRPG and cutesy...panderen and gnomes are cutesy are are canon WoW for a long time. Just because they don't fit your specific (general you) idea of WoW, does not mean they don't fit WoW in general (and obviously they do to Blizz because they're being added as NPCs for this world) or other people's idea of the game.

Re: Vulpera hype
In the end, I would take Ethereals, Ogres, Naga, Broken, Vrykul, etc. over Vulpera and Sethraks. Races that have far more backstory and have been in demand for years should hold presidence over races that have only existed for a couple of months.

Re: Vulpera hype
Vrykul are currently neutral, but so were Nightborne and Highmountain. Just need the right things to happen in order for them to pick a side.
Broken are a given for the Alliance, and same for the Ogres and the Horde. Naga are the iffy ones, less because of possible alignment but more due to whether Blizz is willing to put in the effort for things like how the Naga would ride certain mounts.

Re: Vulpera hype
Personally, I would have greatly preferred Vrykul as the next human allied race vs. the Kultirans. I also honestly don't think they will ever add Naga as playable simply due to the tedious amount of work that would be required to conform all the clothing in game to a race without legs. I'd also still like to see Arakoa/Harpies someday or even Jinyu and Hozen. I would crate a Vrykul and a Hozen in a heartbeat if ever able!

Honestly, after seeing more customization, I dont hate them. (Especially since theres a smaller snout without that weird chihuahua dip that fem worgens have) Just the animations... because I hate goblin animations with a passion.
The sleeps pretty cute too.

Re: Vulpera hype
But yeah compare the snout of that one, to the newer version as well.
Early version is ugly af. But they def did a ton of work on the snout, eyes, even body. Arms are still way too long though.
