Playable Alliance Sethrak is and remains fanon, they had extremely little involvement with alliance.
I'm honestly surprised. I was sure they'd save these for the pre-patch as a reward for pre-purchasing 9.0.Therefore I'm now predicting Sethrak for horde and Waveblade for alliance for the 9.0 pre-patch.
I really don't get why people would even think Alliance could get Sethrak, that would make no senses ... Because the Alliance player helped their leader once ? A huge part of the Horde's quest in this region is centered around helping the Sethrak resistance ... I would love to have Sethrak later on, yes, but Horde or at very least neutral
The Mechagnomes look amazing, but Vulpera? Why Blizzard... We don't need furries in WoW.
oh yeah great alliance gets another gnome race, wth blizzard, give vulpera to both
you know that horde was the first faction to get furrys with tauren, right?
Blizzard promised us half-elves and wildhammer dwarves for Alliance and half-orcs and taunka for Horde. No one wanted mechagnomes and vulpera, and we'll never get those two races.
It was kinda obvious if you've been paying attention. One of the prerequisites for an allied race is having a reputation attached to them and a storyline. Voldunai for Vulpera and the Vol'dun storyline. Rustbolt Resistance for Mechagnomes and the Mechagon storyline. Sethrak for instance have no reputation faction so that automatically ruled them out. I did predict Gilbins and Deep sea jinyu as allied races as well. They may end up being next.
Alright, I'm excited about the gnomes, but for the love of God don't make us do that Mechagon dungeon to unlock them.
It seems that not everyone sees the patterns that Blizzard is following right now, the Allied races are not random like some people would hope or dream : Basic race --- Allied Race ( Model, if different )Human --- Kul Tirans ( New model ? )Night Elves --- NightbornesDwarves --- Dark IronGnomes --- MechagnomesDraenei --- LightforgedWorgen --- ? ( Maybe Sethrak ? )Orcs --- Maghar Trolls --- Zandalari ( Night Elves )Tauren --- HighmountainsUndead --- ? ( Light undead ? So Alliance and Sethrak Horde )Blood Elves --- Void ElvesGobelins --- VulperaSo logicaly the next allied races should be based on Undead and Worgen. Hoping for something else could lead to some dissapointment. Hope they'll keep to the pattern, if they changed their mind now it would be quite ugly :/
Okay, that's just not fair. Was really hoping that male gnome full mecha head would be in the dressing room, but sadly it's not. >.< They really need a few more mech options!
Looks like some lesser-known MMOs
Alliance BTFO
Ugh about the mechagnomes. Even more so because I barely have enough care about their exclusively world quest driven rep grind as a requirement for flight. So, I guess this is another case of, "Let's give the horde a neat allied race." "But what about the alliance?" "Here's literally a race they already have, but with robot parts instead of fleshy bits."I'm pretty sure the vulpera using the goblin animation skeleton is not nearly as bad as "here's gnomes, but half robot".
Yeah, this seems about right.Edit: For the record, snakes and ankoans are worse options, to me-- But there have been vastly more requested allied races than Junk Gnomes.
