Mechagnomes customisation

[Veridius-lightbringer]

For some strange reason I have to a fondness for the Mechagnome aesthetic but there’s a few things that bother me. (Also when can we have tinkers? Lol)

First is the heritage armour. Why can’t we have the rusty and silver versions? There’s mounts and weapons with these styles and it feels unfinished.

Transmog - this needs fixed to allow us to show transmog on legs etc just give the option to hide flesh or mechanise limbs. I’d like my monk to be a mechagnome but can’t see any transmog properly and it looks like a diaper.

Hunter pets - could we take some of the robots on mechagon? Theres very few mechs pets and very few that fit the race theme.

More mecha customisation - spider legs, tall legs.

Imagine blizz got wild with them and have us iron man style flying, hand replacements like big fists for monks, mace hands for warriors, iron man style blaster hands, jet pack mounts, Tesla coil head parts, helicopter head attachments, some of this could be racial specific.

Class selection - I kinda expected shaman for this race with cool Tesla cool totems or even spray bot totems.

Mounts - mecha spider, an actual gear glider and more mechagon themed mounts would be nice.

More weapon types like 2h swords, fists, axes etc

I guess if bliz had the time they could really go wild with this race.

But just like everything else it’s half implement and forgotten about.

I hope I’m the next few expansions they do a race pass and hertitage armour and weapon review. It bugs me that so many races have inconsistent access to heritage armour, recolours, robes and non robe options and hertitage weapons.

junk gnomes are that …junk. horrible nerfed racials after months of horde QQ about how ‘‘OP it was’’ , horrible design of race, drowns in shallow puddles of water switching to swimming instead walking (like DHT water elemental part), no transmog options, very few customization

no thing good will be done to mechagnomes because its alliance race. and 90% of devs are horde

I also like them a lot, but what really bothers me is when I look at the leg transmog and 99% look like diapers if you’re not a clothie.

Theres very few mechs pets and very few that fit the race theme.

The mechanical family being ‘cunning’ doesn’t help either.
Hunters should get the ability to choose the spec of their pet again!

Anyway, I agree with you on transmog options for Mechagnomes.
And more customizability for allied races across the board.
Imo Mechgnomes should just be rolled into the Gnome race and becomes options.
Then they could make a ‘background option’ allowing you to be either a Gnomeregan or a Mechagon gnome (same for other allied races that are basically just regular race variants).

[Veridius-lightbringer]

Yeah I’ve always said allied races should be subraces. They could all share heritage armour and customisations. Just have different rp back grounds and racials. Or even a pool of racials.

I wish blizz would spend some time on the existing races. I think most of us would love some more race specific armour and heritage armour variations
