Nobody asked for them because everyone simply expected them.
The only thing people asked for in Kul Tirans was a scrawny option.
My bad, I meant to say the most unique allied race. Missed the âalliedâ part ![:blush:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/blush.png?v=6" ":blush:")
Their rigging and animations are unique, compared with all the other allied races that are just reskins, including vulpera.
They get literal white and you want lighter???
Which of the skin colours do you think itâs white (the number)?
They all seem different shades of purple to me.
If there was any posts like that,they were smothered to non-extinction by the allied race Sethrak and Vulpera ones.
Ironically, when people foundout they were getting KT humans, they only wanted the skinny type which they later didnât get.
I believe skin 6 was the very white one
and to the others, nobody asked for kul tiran humans because they just assumed they were the same
Yeah, whatever alliance special snowflakes demand in forums is justified. How not unique lol
Blizzard did the same with Nightborne (the only new model).
Horde gets all the new toys.
Add a bit more no argument, passive aggressive venom and you just might burn though the forumâs server and down into the planetâs core.
Who hurt you?
Exactly. Their rig is unique. Literally new to the entire game.
However the race itself is not. You are literally looking at humans with different body proportions. Not more and not less.
Vulpera, sethrak a bunch of other races with their copy pasted rig, hold more unique feeling in one hand than kulâtirans as a concept in their entirety.
Im not saying this to try and make blizzâs efforts count to nothing but lets be perfectly honest here for a moment: Using the kul tiran rig to introduce i.e. ogres for instance would have been a riot.
Players would have been kissing the sky for it and praising them to high heavens over it, because it would have been wanted, unique, open completely new aspects for rp, feel and the rest of the good stuff.
I mean my point here should be self-evident.
A completely ground up new race. A literally NEW RACE. Will be always more cherished than something that should have been a customization option to begin with.
I mean we can spin this any direction we want, you cant compare something like copy paste gnomes with sticks for limbs to vulpera. Im not even sure why this statement needs any form of explanation and why ppl like Lilura or Ronda are so butthurt over it.
Its a simple fact.
Would the horde side appreciate goblins with wooden legs, hook arms and eyepatches as an allied race claiming its âpirateâ while the alliance gets a ground up completely new race like vulpera or sethrak?
We both⌠no⌠we ALL know FOR A FACT that there would be a backlash.
Just like there will be a backlash over mecha gnomes vs vulpera too if it comes to pass.
We can call this moaning or whatever the salt else.
It remains a simple, self-evident, easy to understand truth.
Well easy to understand for everyone other than the geniuses in blizzardâs decision making process. Im sure breathing must be taxing for them in itself.

I mean, Iâm fine with Mecha-gnomes coming. I donât think theyâre mutually exclusive to Sethrak; they fill different spots on the roster. Sethrak arenât going to be a gnome allied race, theyâre a worgen one.
It just makes more sense to introduce them at the same time as Vulpera, imho.
I mean, the Worgen and Goblin model updates are due in .2.5 already anyways, itâs the perfect opportunity to do the ARs for those races alongside.
Preach it, I agree on that, and the standard of writing. Looking at it from a Horde point of view the Uprising against Sylvanas should have occurred right after Sylvanas burned the World Tree. So lets say it devolved into a three way barfight, Sylvanas Loyalists vs The Vastly outnumber Horde loyalists. Do you think thatâs going to matter to Tyrande and Genn? Anduin might convince most of his troops to focuss on Sylvanas, but Tyrande and Genn, No, they want Horde Blood, so will be attacking both sides. Its inevitable some Alliance will have grudges to settle with some of the Horde Loyalists, Void/High Elves against the Blood Elves, any human of the right age will remember the horror when Stormwind was sacked, before it was rebuilt, so, whoops, accidents happen, and suddenly you have a Four way fight on your hands. Until it all went horribly wrong, Ashzara appears, both sides are exhausted, but have to fight her together, so that they all surpise, who when they defeat her, both sides are weakened, and realise no one has the military power to prosecute the other side(s) So a -very- Begrudging Ceasefire is called. Which is in line with Blizz saying this is the last time the Faction war is the focus, and it will end with BfAâŚ
But hey, Iâm just spitballing here
It has to descend to use its own armament, to as we see, artillery range. They should be using it more, I agree, but where its real skills are, as a ship that you can load up, have some sneaky chappies plant Beacons, and Bam! You can teleport a whole shipload of soldiery anywhere the Beacons are.
Yeah, that doesnât make sense, unless becoming Undead utterly twists your persona 180 degrees.
Oh I get that, I mean why would Vereesa join an organisation with a Blood Elf heading it up? Why would said Blood Elf leader who thinks she is a dangerous terrorist and War Criminal execute her on the spot?
( I mean the obvious answer is that Brigante was not the Leader of the Unseen Path Canonically, but that is game mechanics taking precedence over Story, which is nothing they could really do about without have two phased Class Order Halls per Faction, with Faction specific NPCâsâŚ)
Know what I think it is? I think it is making a bad choice, seeing what came of it (The Burning) and then being trapped with that Bad choice, because your best buddies are, everyone is. Thalyssra even says in the Baine arrest text âI donât know whats going on here, Iâm going to talk to Lorâthemar, see what he thinksâ. So she clearly doesnât exist with the Burning, and nor from his Dialgue does Lorâthemar, he thinks Baine jumped the gun. So whilst initially it is like, âWe joined our long lost cousins who were nice to usâ (Because it is clear the Shalâdorei only joined the Horde because of the Sinâdorei) but then this atrocity happens, the world reels from it, and the thinking -could- be, âWell if we leave the Horde now, The Horde, if they win, will come for us as Traitors, whereas the Alliance, if they win, because they will regard us as complicit in this, will also come for us for our perceived part in this, I suppose we have to ride this crazy train and see where it ends, we canât make ourselves neutral again, not after -this-â
Part of me wonders if this is what Sylvanas thought, by binding the rest of the Horde to her by a shared atrocity, she leaves them no option but to go with it?
I agree its bad, but once Sylvanas burns that tree, everyone is sort of bound by necessity in case the Alliance comes for them when they turn neutral. As for the Shalâdorei, the Sinâdorei are natural Allies, and Tyrande was nice to her, Tyrande was not, and made threats, Thalyssraâs decision makes some sense. Not complete sense, but some sense.
But can it though? We never see it do so.
That ship had sailed when Jaina had failed to keep Neutrality. âThis entirely powerful Magic Item, I know, I will place it with people who really distrust Magic, and are Clearly Affiliated with the Alliance. If Only I had a magical City, with a Magical Prison where it could be locked awayâ
Lets be fair, Jaina herself took Dalaran out of the âNeutralâ stakes.
Maybe for her to find out what happened and act on that, by yâknow, not committing a Valid member of the Council of Six to Prison? (Remember that at that point Aethas was arguably entirely innocent, the four guards certainly were, but she kills them anyway Yâknow, what any sensible ruler would have done would be to Confront Aethas and find out what the heck was going on? I mean she can clearly one shot his guards if they pose a threat? She could have convened the Council of Six, and asked him to explain the actions of a couple of Sunreavers, But nah, simpler to just walk in all âPew Pew Pewâ and kill four innocent people, Stage a Coupâdetat, at this stage she has declared herself Queen of Dalaran and clearly not in what anybody else thinks.
Remember The Blood Elves bar -one- person, Thaelan Songweaver were completely unaware of the Mana Bomb, in fact at Garroshâs insistence there were actually Sinâdorei troops on the ground when that bomb went off. ThatâsâŚhardly complicityâŚThey were -Bait-. So they knew nothing of the Mana Bomb ( In fact if you even remember, Aethas sided with jaina in the vote on the Council of Six, that Dalaran should intervene)
Come on, You, the âHeroâ are sent out to kill a shopkeeper, a bloke taking his money out of the bank ( So, Aggrated Mugging as well as murder then) and a third who I canât remember, but theyâre all citizens. The Silver Covenant are murdering mobs that donât even fight back, (And remember, she set this in motion) but cower as they are hacked down. Jaina sees all this as she swans on by and does -nothing- to intervene.She is complicit in the murder of civilians wholesale. nd you see that when playing the Alliance side of the Purge. There are a Unit of Stormwind troops there. They too watch impassively as civilians are murdered. There is a Silver Covenant Mage, force choking a Sunreaver Civilian over that shark in the sewers, Segacedi I think. The instant he sees you, he drops the civilian into the sharks mouth. I mean he drops them into the Sharks mouth, I mean heâs already torturing t he guy, how much more villain do you want? For him to tie a screaming Sunreaver to a set of traintracks? (Fun fact, this -never- happened in the Silent movies, except in later parodies, it was in fact the male hero tied to the tracks, and the female love interest had to save him in time)
A lot of the things Jaina and the Silver Covenant did that day are later described as âWar Crimesâ when Garrosh is on trial in the novel of the same name. SoâŚyeah, I kind of would class them as War Crimes.
Thatâs kind of what I am saying though, post Burning, there is nothing the Horde can do, but reap the whirlwind, I agree, it is horribly Machiavellian of Sylvanas, but she has bonded the Horde, by common fear of what the Alliance will do if they try to go it aloneâŚ
I completely agree. That would have been the time for an uprising, but it isnât that simple. The Horde leaders as shocked when Baine is arrested, heck, Lorâthemar even says something like Baine may have doing the right thing, but he should have had more concern for his people, the time to act was not now.
Pretty much every racial leader says the same thing. Sheâs went too far, she needs to be stopped, but this is too early, we need to plan it.

Not really. You are pretty much on point.
One of the very first key issues bfa had in terms of story was the hordeâs reaction to the burning of teldrassil, and even following up to that point. The reaction was simply removed.
Its not just hard to understand, it goes beyond that.
It changes the horde, which always had internal politics, a council, AN IDENTITY⌠the horde which stood tall and proud, and fought for its own values during the civil war with garrosh, to⌠i dont even know⌠a confused emo teen?
I mean the cinematic with the old soldier was the very peak of this, with the âwe got to follow cause the horde is the only thing we got leftâ.
What? Why? How? What am i even watching here?
When did the horde become the only thing you got left?
You got no pride left in you as a darkspeak? As an orc? There is literally nothing left for you but the horde just a couple of years after you burned the horde down because of garrosh?
Its just bad writing 101 that retroactively destroyed what the horde is and how it functioned.
All identity the horde and horde races had were removed for the sake of this Sylvanas narrative, because Sylvanas might have a lot of fanboys on the forums, but inside wow, she has but a handful of supporters. The entire thing would have been escalated right there on darkshore after the burning of teldrassil, had they not crippled the hordeâs soul and spirit.
Oh and i might add here that this entire problem could have been avoided by actually making sylvanas morally gray.
Dont know who it was, maybe bellular on youtube who was musing things back during the start of bfa that the night elves could have been made to stockpile azerite and supply the alliance with it.
Such a simple concept really, yet it would have changed everything down to the core.
Sylvanas would have had an actual reason and even the physical notion of burning the tree by ignited azerite. Itwould have made a bit more sense compared to the retarded notion of wooden catapults setting a live tree on fire in the middle of the ocean at several islandâs rangeâŚ
Just⌠yeahâŚ
Isnt it tiresome to watch after a while?
That players have to come up with ways how everything could have made more sense?
That there was not one single entity in a multi billion dollar company who would have pointed these things out?
Cause it sure is damn tiresome to me.
What are you being paid for if you cant do this much? If you cant even put up a narrative that makes sense?
BfA storywise is going into a 5 star restaurant, ordering something and getting served a piece of bread with margarine on it.
Its just baffling. You are not even mad cause its so far removed from the realm of possibility that you are just sitting there wondering where YOU yourself made the error and/or wrong assumption or if this is a joke of sorts.
Yeah, not the point really⌠beacons or otherwise its still a ship that could assassinate half the horde leadership or any naval vessels or or or or orâŚ
That thing should not exist by now just like so many bad story elementsâŚ
Hey that reminds me. Do we finally know what the ever living **** Sargeras was doing around azeroth in a cloud after having spent A LITERAL DECADE OF STORY TELLING establishing how and why he could never get there? Hell, two decades if you count the original rts warcraft series.
Still makes me chuckle.
We want to make some sort of epic scene
boop
We just undid a decade of story for the sake of it
Dont ask why, we dont speak about such things.
Well this at least makes sense⌠i wish it would be articulated.
Okay.
In regards of the entire Jaina thing, let me rephraseâŚ
No, its not like she is a pure white sheet of paper either, but i wish that bfaâs story had been fleshed out just half as much as the cleansing of dalaran?
I mean all sorts of morally questionable, yes, but how much more fleshed out was that story? What level of complexity was that compared to bfa?
Take the character of Jaina and walk it through to that point in time, after all that happened, down to the bombing of theramore, being borderline insane with grief, she warns them and in the end she not only gets it thrown back in her face, even after she walks up to Aethas calling him out on what he did, he still wont back down and simply states that this is their city too.
And it snaps
You can literally hear the snap as all sense and morality she had just breaks away.
Oh okay fine then. Removal by force it is.
Compare that to Sylvanas and the burning of teldrassil.
You can have any amount of disdain or disgust towards jainaâs actions but there is one thing you will not need: The story explained to you.
Cause it makes sense.
Not only that. It forces an emotional reaction out of you regardless whether its the just rage of those who have been wronged, or that of the person who always had good intentions but is made to snap.
Its a level of story telling that cant even be mentioned on one page with bfaâs bs and plot hole artistry with the war of sylvanas which came down to
- Slyvanas: I dont think peace will last so ima start a war by invading teldrassil
- The horde council of racial leaders: we dont exist, dont look at us
- Slyvanas: nvm actually now that we defeated its guards, just torch it, i feel morally gray
- The collective population and all races of the horde: we dont exist, dont look at us
- Sum single lone orc in the background called saurfang: That was not cool
- Slyvanas: Okay kids, they are targeting my city. Stand in line. Good. gasses everyone then blows up the city ~teehee
- Fappy boy on the sideways: Ze horde iz ze only thing we got left, we muz follo mon.
- Comedy Baine: shakes head and walks off screen ⌠then does it 3 more times.
I think this expansion would have been great as a caricature of wowâŚ
Makes me think of the irony how wow survived a hundred different supposed wow killer mmo releases from other companies and is now slowly dieing due to its own devs.
Which just adds even more color to the story as i pointed it out.
There are those who can literally make the argument that they are a victim too, and in the overarching picture it will come out as a mass of bad decisions leading to a tragedy or well⌠several tragedies.
What is bfaâs story telling compared to this single scene?
Well⌠i just feel that we are walking circles about something that is dung, no matter from which side or angle we are looking at it.
I mean here i could point out that this is yet another misplaced aspect of the story⌠the suggestion that everyone had to wait with their actions cause going up against sylvanas is suicide, so we need time to build forces and catch the right moment toâŚ
really�
I mean if this was Garroshâs horde, it would make sense.
But its not.
We are talking about sylvanas here.
What is this overwhelming support the horde needs to be so aware of?
A quarter of the leaders want her outright removed. The pretty much ENTIRETY OF THE REST agrees that she is incapable of leading the horde and/or is taking it down the wrong path.
So really. Remind me. Why all this cloak and dagger comedy?
She has a handful of supporters.
Hell she is standing in the open pretty damn much alone alongside Cuckthanos and i donno⌠the magthar orcs and the vampire elves?
Hell even her own people the god damn forsaken are now dead silent (no pun intended) about her after she massacred her own people for the sake of some joke along the lines of âthey cant have hopeâ.
Do you know what the horde looks like around that bonfire when Baine is taken away?
Yet again like a bunch of emo children who are too afraid to talk back to mom.
Not more and not less.
They all agree with eachother. THEY ARE BASICALLY THE ENTIRETY OF THE HORDE. RIGHT THERE. But we need time and the right moment and this and that and what notâŚ
I give up
I just give up
This is wow in 2019 produced by a multi billion dollar company that forgot how basic math works.
Hereâs one to⌠how did you put itâŚ
âTo be honest Iâd be more concerned about their mental health.â
Yeah⌠thats the point where i personally am right nowâŚ
concerned about mental health
Cause im all out of rational explanations as to how they manage to be this bad at their jobs⌠or i dont even know⌠maybe its possible⌠i just dont know, nor will i know, nor will anyone know, cause nobody is saying anything, we are just expected to take this product and go with it. Keep paying them monthly tooâŚ
I just dont know at this point anymore.
EDIT:
Regardless. Thanks for the conversation.
It was nice to be able to finally talk about this even if we disagree on some things.

Allied races are reskins. Not actual new races. People are delusional if they think stuff like, Vrykul, Sethrak, Arkoan. Ogres etc. are allied race material.
And Vulpera are just a reskin?
You donât have an argument to stand on here Erevien, please leave before you hurt yourself.
I except Gilgoblins as goblin reskin AR.
You really want to try and argue against the mountain of evidence saying itâs Vulpera?
If you wonât let go of alliance Sethrak. Yes. Gilbins pls next.
