Gilblins as new allies?/The Unshackled?

Plus they have a similar backstory, morality, and history to the Pandaren.

Careful. I can already picture some of the wild fan art that might start popping up.

Gilblins should get a ranged water-based heal as their active racial. Like Gift of the Naaru but instant instead of over time.

Gilblins would get some interesting racials I bet.

And so, if the alliance really has to collect junkgnomes, it will not be bad just for the blue side of the force, if the horde pick up a recycled race too!

People weren’t exactly calling Dark Irons a recycled race even though they share many similarities to dwarves. It is a new aquatic race. We don’t have even one of these now.

if you want to compare Dark Irons with something like sardine goblins, okay!

I just know that junkgnomes finally have a pair to match, and the Alliance will not have to feel bad, since both will have something of similar value!

Nobody will be able to say that it has won, in relation to the other faction!

Bring on the gilbin allied race!!

vulpera are still more likely to become the “goblin” allied race.

although the alliance do have a new legitimate contender in the ankoan.

I highly doubt the gilbins because they don’t have new models nor are they the sole members of the unshackled.

they don’t have new models

To add, it would be much easier to come up with a female Gilblin model than it would be to finish adding custom content for Vulpera. This is because the female goblin model is already done. It basically just needs gills and a texture. Keep in mind also that the Goblin model updates are also something expected this expansion.

Another thing also because I know the Vulpera community likes to bank on this. Popularity doesn’t matter. Lore matters.

I’m not exactly opposed to Gilblins, but I just don’t think very many people will play them and it seems like a waste of resources.

Tl’dr. This guy would rather goblins and gnomes weren’t in the game to begin with.

Wouldn’t surprised me, seems pointless to create new rep grinds just because of flying. And Goblins don’t have a counterpart yet. I think eventually everyone will have their own allied races (They might pace it to give some breathing room to grind the rep for previous ones and get them to level). Might not be, but it kinda feels like it (What else are Goblins going to have a counterpart of? Wouldn’t say the Vulpera which some people have been comparing to).

Don’t know what the other rep is, but I imagine something to do with Gnomes. (Wouldn’t surprise me if Forsaken, and maybe Worgens are last in the expansion, Sylvanas either stepping down or being killed, something relating to her anyways)

66

The one for the gnomes town is Rustbolt Cartel or something. I cannot quite remember the second part of the name. Perhaps someone else can enlighten us.

you mean like the vulpera have a very close relationship with the horde currently vs gilbins that have on most occasions only wanted to kill us?

and like I said they don’t have new models. They are still low res and crap looking. also despite the customization options they have it is still very lacking to be a playable race.

That is until recently. There is a reason I’ve had a good deal of faith in Gilgoblins becoming an AR despite these naysayers. A strong part of the reason that it is has been easy for people to think of Vulpera as the certain to be allied race is because of the exposure. Now that we are heading into Nazjatar a lot of people are going to be interacting with friendly Gilblins.

and like I said they don’t have new models. They are still low res and crap looking.

There are female goblin models and don’t forget the model update. All that would be needed is to give the female goblin model a retexture and add some gils to them. All the animations and rigging is already done.

A few skin options isn’t enough customization. Oh look I can be this reddish pink or I can be this sea green. That isnt enough.

Vulpera have a lot of customization and are practically done. The work needed to make them playable is far less than gilbins.

Once the goblin model updates come out, pretty much all the work needed will already have been done. Basically all that is needed for Gilgoblins is retexturing some existing shapes and adding some existing gills for females.
