Kelfin for the Horde! Please?

Don’t need to look far for racials. Just see their bodyguards. Summon sea giant would be a neat one with balance that is.

Kultirans have the best druid forms in the game and mechagnomes in heritage armor are completely robotic. I’d take both on horde in a heartbeat.

This vulpera gets it. For those who play them, they deeply enjoy them. Not to mention the min maxxer crowd.

I know right! Imagine the Swim speed bonus! Pop outta the water and catch the Alliance unprepared! Ha!

Right?

If the Alliance don’t want em I’ll take em.

Yet goblins have a sub 2% playrate. The only races lower than them are some allied races as they are still new, I assume the playrate of them will increase a lot in SL when the requirement is removed and Pandaren because they are the only race were transmog looks worse on them then it does on a Goblin.

Are you suggesting we delete all races with a player base under 3%? Goblins are the bread and butter of fantasy. They are a good addition. Even if something is niche, that doesn’t make it a bad addition. And I think with proper effort gilgoblins can be a great race. I say blizzard try to add loads of new races to have something for everyone if they can. It would be nice to see a huge roster of characters of all kinds.

Oh no. Whatever shall we do.

By that estimation your race shouldn’t be allowed to be. Lets not use such useless parameters for determining anything.

Kelfin make a lot of sense to join the Horde and can offer it a great deal of benefit on the seas and coastal regions.

Ankoan even make a good Alliance counterpart.

Right? I’d like more not less. Some folk don’t like having options I guess…

Lets try to keep the thread positive. No flame wars. No hostilities. Disagreeing is fine, but insults is taking it a step too far.

I think Kelfin should become playable at some point, but not as an Allied Race at least not right now.

I could totally get behind them becoming customization, but if they’re an Allied Race I just can’t see them being added in Shadowlands. I feel that if we’re going to get any races in Shadowlands, they’ll be from the Shadowlands.

But 10.0? Why not?

I definitely get that. I have some mixed feelings. So on one hand, if they are to be an allied race it probably wouldn’t be till the expansion after SL if at all. However… if this is the case then it also means they likely won’t be a custom option. And I will have no way of knowing for a while meaning for a while it will seem like a letdown. I am fine with them as custom options so long as the custom option are done well.

Like for example. If this counts as the gilblin skin, I won’t be happy.

It’s pretty easy to make them work right? They have the same hairstyles. Only differences being skin color and the fins on the ears, arms, and legs right? I could totally see them adding that. Why the heck not? It’s relatively easy compared to other things. I hope you guys get them with the new goblin customization.

Also Exile’s Reach solves the problem of an introduction to the Kelfin.

I would love a similar level of effort like this. I see so much potential in them.

  1. Tatoos that can have bioluminescence like demon hunters.
  2. Aquatic looking hair with decorations like pearls, starfish, seaweed etc.
  3. Tentacle hair options like with void elves would be nice.
  4. Well done aquatic skin textures.
  5. Fin custom options.
  6. Eyes that glow in the dark(Cannon thing for gilblins.
  7. The unique ear shapes they have.
  8. Anything else to really make them embrace the fantasy.

Stuff like this though is why I largely preferred them as an allied race since they may not do such customization that we’ll if they add it.

I’d be fine waiting for them to be right. Customization just doesnt really seem like it would cut it for me.

As I said in the main post, I’d take customization but that would be a real shame I think.

They’ve got a little more going on though. Water breathing and such. Goblin racials I think are a little off for them.

Plus I hope they add Bioluminescent stuff for them.

Suppose WoD was a good expansion as well, below 3% of people liked it but just because it is niche, that doesn’t make it a bad addition?

I rather enjoy WoD. Lol

Funny you should mention. Wow was my favorite expansion to date.

You’re comparing an expansion to a race. Those effect the playerbase one two completely different levels.

These are the kinds of people who if they were in charge goblins, gnomes pandas and dwarves would never be playable.

Kelfin add a lot of story options to the Horde and have interesting racial possibilities, plus the first aquatic race, yet some folk just want more land based tall human folk it seems.

Sounds boring compared to the Kelfin to me though.

I will say this. I am happy for the people who got Vulpera. Specifically the ones who have been nice to gilgoblins fans that is. Vulpera are a great addition to the horde. I just still want to see Kelfin playable at some point. And if done as customization, I would be fine with that so long as done well. If they are going to add them as goblin customization, it would also be nice to see fel and void goblins. Although admittedly those are much more unlikely.

Honestly I get that.

Some folk are so hostile and toxic you just find yourself hoping somehow whatever they’re campaigning for just never gets released to them… Like everyone else gets it… Just not them.

They really are. It’s so subdued how vicious and cut throat they are but they’re still cute and adorable and nice about it.

It really is about survival for them.

I’m rather conflicted. On the one hand it’s the best chance, on the other you just lose so much.

No lore, no racials, no heritage, no tabard, no mount, no voice lines ect.

Hate to see that type of character be just a regular goblin. I got the same problem with Wildhammer and Sand Trolls.

I don’t know. I’d love to get customization but I’d prefer if they took more time to make an AR for em.

I’ll wait.

Hey if blizz offers…
