Gilgoblins.... These things might actually be playable

Interestingly, one of the ankoan has that ability too.

Yeah, that is really interesting news; with a lot of potential material down the line. I wonder if we’ll be working with Gral again and helping him rebuild his Temple & Worshipers? I could think of a few ways that shark could bless the Kelfin for their service. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Gils have potential. My biggest concern with them right now isn’t that they’re relying on the Cata models (and Legion Textures), its that there is only like one face for the Male and Famale models (and like 1 hair for the males and 2 hairs used for females). This could either be because Blizz NEVER intends for them to be an Allied race (at least for the foreseeable future); or they’re saving assets for when the new Goblin Models come out (and thus can transfer over the GilGoblins).

However, GilGoblin “society” (if it can be called that) 
 is unique enough to be potentially intriguing. The incorporation of so many Aquatic Races as sort of the equivalent of the Ogre’s and Gronn for the Mag’Har is potentially a huge asset for the Horde. It also means that the Gils need not just be pallet swapped Goblins in temperament. They could be adaptive and creative using their various Allied species; rather than outright tech (I saw Sea Giants, Makrura, and Deepsea Merlocs so far).

It could be interesting to see them snag a Druid class due to that wildness (while MechaGnomes get Paladins of the Titans).

So the Gral the Shark Loa? I should upgrade my name to Shark Hunter. That would sound more badass.

The possibility of not getting vulpera is not possible, evidence is overwhelming to any who bothers to read it. But I always thought with the way the plot was going that it would be awhile when land becomes relevent again after nazjatar.

But also didn’t blizz say there were no ARs planned for this patch?

I really hope we get Gilgoblins AND Vulpera on the Horde. It would really stink if we only got one.

(Also I would absolutely make a new character if Ankoan became playable and got revamped models)

Pay attention when the mouse hovers over their buffs.

There is never an official source when something is leaked. And it’s been leaked time and time again, with new animations being added and such each time.

And before you try and contest such a thing, bother to look at the evidence.

39

Blanket statements like that don’t stand where there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to contest it, you don’t need flat confirmation when everything is in place,player ready and character level quality, not to mention an abnormal amount of emotes which no npc has or ever will have.

This evidence would convince any court, there is no attorney who would dare contest this amount of evidence.

High moutain tauren,nightbourne etc were leaked in a similar fashion.

M’kay? Even if that was one hundred percent true, why can’t we discuss the potential for Kelfin again? Didn’t know Blizz promoted you to Forum Police status. :rofl:

So they can turn into a fish and flop around on the ground? Lol

Those things worship a shark loa and if you haven’t noticed. Goblins have long noses. I think there would be something better than a fish.

Vulpera will be the Pandaren AR. They are both furry underdogs oppressed by mighty empires.

Goblins need an AR that has something in common with Goblins, which Vulpera do not.

Lol ok but that kinda goes to show you that they will not be an allied race. Virtually 98% of WoW content is on dry land. From what I’m hearing, the majority of even the Nazjatar content is on dry land. What good is a shark. It doesn’t even fit the druid template. I can only imagine what avid druids would have to say if someone else could change into a form that could dps as travel form. The bottom line is, the “likelihood” of Blizz making aquatic races ARs is slim to none. It would be best to keep the nonsense posts down to a minimum and post in the megathreads. These little pop-up threads talking about likelihood just come of as desperate and pathetic, especially when it resorts to trash talking other possible ARs.

48

Nobody has been trash talking other allied race potentials, except for the folks who don’t want Kelfin coming into a forum about them and trash talking them.

Pot, meet Kettle.

Yeah I know about gilgoblins. They are usually hanging around some body of water spouting gibberish like the primitive creatures they are. Look, you all can make as many posts as you want to in order to make it look like hype but the fact of the matter is that everyone knows its the same people posting in the gilgoblin megathread. It would actually serve your cause better to keep it there too. Making new posts saying it’s “likely” doesn’t make it anymore likely. The patch notes straight up show gilgoblins as being “new friends”.

51

Actually this thread was started by Foxhunter, who has been a pretty vocal fan about wanting Vulpera so he can make himself some fur coats.

If you’re going to try and troll & trash, at least put some effort into it?

This isn’t the only new post that had popped up. I don’t need to “put effort” into proving my point. It’s already been made.

54

Than why are you still here trying to dissuade others from discussing opinions and ideas? Bored?
