I think the Kelfin should be made into either an AR (preferably) or be added as Goblin customization (less perferable).
Think about it. They already have a very favorable attitude to us, and they have sea giants and makrura! Those guys have so many applications! Sea giants can throw boulders at Stormwinds walls while the Makrura flood the docks with chitinous bodies! Meanwhile Horde ships can move in and drop troops and the Kelfin can just swim on in. We’d take Stormwind in a day!
Or! What about on our own docks? Sea giants can hold and carry a lot. Lets make use of that!
Kelfin marines and dockworkers would just be the best too! No scuba gear required! Not to mention their use at sea!
And lets talk classes! I think its reasonable to assume they could have Druid too. Think about it. A non-troll or non-tauren druid on the horde! Gral can show them the way!
Plus they’re already hanging out in Durotar! Clearly they’re ready to join.
if i wanted a kelfin id just roll a goblin hunter and get the armor that has fins on it. so in other words no id rather something more unique than another goblin reskin like vulpera
I will say it again. If gilgoblins looked like this, they would definitely be quite popular and This would definitely stand out uniqueness. Gilgoblins have a lot of potential that many don’t realize. And even this could be improved without breaking from their established look.
Lots of people would highly disagree with you there. And keep in mind this is just one skin. Change from blue, red or even mixed colors with this or even add some scale like textures and you could really have yourself something nice here.
Exactly! I like your Tidal Guardian Class, but even if they went more conservative, the bio-luminescent spots and eyes idea you had in another thread would go a long way to making them look so cool!
And who doesn’t wanna look cool?
Honestly I think they’d make such a good AR for players in general, but the lore addition to the Horde? That could change ship to ship warfare for the Horde and really give em an edge. Heck maybe they’d make a proper dock in Orgrimmar with the Sea Giants dredging it out.
I know right? Vulpera are definitely a little more put together than that but everyone always tries to run with that.
Kelfin though? Maybe a reskin sure, but the ways they can go with it. Beautiful.
I think I’d have at least three!
If I get that druid wish you can bet I’d have one for that class for sure!
And your a green Mag’har.
Look my friend you don’t like it thats fine.
Personally I think you need to look at what they could be and not what you think they are now. AR’s have more work put in than an NPC model, and we could get really neat stuff here!
These other two ones also show the potential of the race to have some uniqueness and beautiful custom options. Keep in mind with all of this. Though none of these are cannon, elements of these can be applied to existing gilgoblins in ways that does work. I should also mention that gilgoblins canonically have glow in the dark eyes and you have could give them tentacle hair sort of like void elves have.
Kelfin were my favourite new race, just above the Tortollan, in Battle for Azeroth. I support their inclusion as an allied race, or as customization options (slightly less enthusiastic), because Neri, Poen, and Vim tugged at my heartstrings.
I am going to continue to be vocal about having these added as an allied race because they would be truly awesome to have if done right and they already have all the lore backing to be an allied race. I know a lot of people would love to see this race playable soon or later. No other requested allied race can say they have a zone centered around them with as much lore and love put into it as the gilgoblins did.
I don’t know about popular, but they would be a neat addition regardless even if I don’t like them.
Like I said. If gilgoblins looked like they did it some of my model edits with a lot of love put into them, they would be popular. As popular as Vulpera? Perhaps not, but definitely respected in general for what they are.
