Anyone actually playing mechagnomes?

I didn’t unlock the kul tiras. There is no reason for me to unlock the worst allied race in the game. imo.

I hope not, but any you see should be reported, picking such a horrid race must be trolling.

AY who you calling a furr ball >:c

LOL??? kul tiras are a good race, they punch too much in pvp xd

Imagine being the person who does this, and then actually being one of the lucky few who has a GM interact with you and ask for specifics, and then you either need to engage in a massive climb down/lie to avoid looking like a prat (and is pretty reprehensible), or you go full on prat and confess to the GM you reported someone because the player plays a race you don’t like lol.

Not saying you’re necessarily being serious with your post. But the reality is there are actually people who legitimately exist who have such a completely moronic mindset.

Hate whatever races you want, go nuts. But trying to get people in trouble for having a favourite colour you don’t like? Nobody can surely stand behind such a mindset seriously?

My favorite part about this thread is that between all the mechagnomes that came out to reply, I probably saw like 2 or 3 different shoulder & chest items being used in total.

Aka OP is right and hardly anything even fits your abomination of a body.

Nope. Just can’t bring myself to play one. I tried creating one just for the sake of it…30 seconds later it got deleted. :nauseated_face: Not my cup of tea.

I lvled mechagnome rogue, it was pretty fun, i like racials, another save passive opieop

I see one shoulder and one chest duplication across over 7 or more different chars, but okay. Guess I’ll start calling out all those NB females who post in the heritage set as well!

Not saying MGs wouldn’t benefit from way more paint jobs, absolutely. But your claim regarding this thread is actual fiction, but let’s not let that get in the way of a good old fashioned gnome bashing!

They have nice racials, but thast all - and heritage armour to be “real” mechagnomes, not those Borg wannabees
People play regular gnomes too…

Also, for this, and because you are gnome, duel at dawn!

I kinda like Mechagnomes tbh, although they could do with some more customization.

I’d trade them for Vulpera.

Actually I’d trade Vulpera for an untextured cube Allied Race.

You know what? No trade, just take the Vulpera, please.

Indeed on customisation. My defence of the race doesn’t stem from a belief they are executed perfectly, rather I really like the theme of a cybernetic race, plus gnomes. I feel they have some very cool customisation potential if blizzard invest in it and don’t listen to the naysayers who advocate simply to ignore.

My culmination of customisation ideas for SL can be summarised as thus:

  • allow us way more freedom in choosing our mods. One arm, one leg, one eye, or ear etc. I would say in order to preserve the race identity you must have at least 2 mods (each limb, ear, eye, chin etc and what I recommend below counts as 1)
  • more mod areas, let us go full hog with fully mechanised skin for our heads and torsos (this would turn your hair and facial hair metallic). This will satisfy those who wanted Northerend mechas, whilst still allowing cyborgs.
  • remove mog restriction. In past I’ve argued against it but meh, so long as we can hide it if we want, no Biggie.
  • let us choose our mechanical eye colours, or whether they’re broken
  • more paint jobs, way more. We can paint our mechanocats but not ourselves? Yeah, why not blue paint job?
  • more options for eye mods like visors for example or single eye mods.
  • more limb choices including just the hand, but not arm, same for legs. But metallic but otherwise completely Gnomish looking limbs, or flesh looking limbs with gashes showing metal underneath, more pincer styles. Possible blades for feet or even roboskates.
  • HA must come in a variety of tints and will be only way to have that particular look for your head despite full mechanisation being added.
  • add a more robotic augment to the VA if you have full head mechanisation or anything modding your mouth.
  • other mouth mods like rebreathers.

The scope is vast if blizz invest in the potential of a robotic race.

I don’t see that many Vulpera either, they were overhyped and overestimated. Gear doesn’t look good on them as well.

I think that the true winners as AR are Zandalari and bluberry elves.

Can’t stand Gnomes so Junkgnomes will never happen, keep that trash away.

I’m game. Where?

I need a new carpet anyway.

And literally nothing else does.
Also it only fits one “skin” colour. I wish Blizz let us have the other 2 colours too.

And here i am… Yes im playing a mechagnome Warlock although its my 16th alt, and i found the Old school Gmarshal Mog to be fitting perfectly with my female mgnome <3 :wink:

I’m not wearing any piece of heritage transmog either, yet, it fits quite nicely. I also have a dark transmog set for my tank spec, no heritage pieces, and no Eternal Traveler either.

It is challenging to find a good set for mechagnomes, but then again, it is also challenging to find a good set for any other race. Most of the transmogs I see are pure trash, or the same thing rehashed with very little difference. So we’re not really different, after all.

i like the idea of mechagnome, but blizzard put so little efford into them, that i will just stick to normal gnome.

I didn’t even bother to unlock them. Perhaps others are the same.
