Oh vulpera got a new racial it seems…
Mechagnomes get nerfed and Vulpera get free racials? Horde bias all the way.

I like the vulpera new racial honestly, not debating any bias, people complained the mechagnome was op and now with the new ptr it is nerfed: Combat Analysis gives 15 primary stat stack-able up to 8 times to a max of 120 primay stat. Down from 400. Plus previous build nerfed the healing from 1.5cd to 2.5.

They really need to revisit the horrible racials of some of the rest of us, with these new dudes.
I get to escape from a spider web, once in a blue moon.
Vulpera get more bag space and junk, which is ALWAYS useful.
Dark Iron Dwarves get Mole Machine, which is pretty cool.
Kul’tiran get to punch a dude off a cliff!
Even the nerfed Mechagnome stuff is good.

It replaces the loot bag racial.

Wait, that link shows an item, a 36 slot ‘Alpaca Saddle Bag’ which is the same name as the new racial.
So as a ‘racial’ they are getting an item that will be obsolete and vendor trash in an expansion or two when the max bag size is increased yet again?
Replacing a racial that gave a small chance at an extra bag of loot supplies from killing humanoids?
That’s a terrible tradeoff. It’s not even as if they just enacted a nerf to the original racial. Giving Vulpera a static item for a racial, which will become useless in an expansion or two, is an insulting joke.

Ya the ptr isn’t real clear, before ptr was taken down the data had the alpaca bag, but the +8 slots was suppose to replace their sub racial that gave extra loot from humanoid kills. It isn’t clear if the alpaca bag is new item in 8.3 with the alpaca mount vendor or something tied to the race so its still sorta unknown territory atm.
yea it does feel like the base races are stuck in 2010 while the allied races have fancy 2019 racial abilities. of course stuff like shadow meld is timeless, but when dark iron get an offensive version of og dwarf stuff and a flavorful racial like mole machine along with it, it really stands out

That blows. I vastly prefer the passive pickpocket over a few bag slots.

Imagine how many saltwaters those 8 slots will hold! Horde winrate about to spike 6000%

Is that at 120? It was +12 at 110 and 50 at 120. If it was nerfed that much at 120 might as well just remove it. Neutering an undesirable race with zero usefulness just makes them even less desirable.
50-30 per stack seems like a better trade off if they’re going to need it that hard. But 12 per?? Nerf the zandalari combat bonuses then.
When the “Horde Bias” Is literally replacing a useful skill with 8 bag slots, that can be easily solved by buying a new bag. Its pointless, even a nerfed Mechagnome is better than that
Its a lazy move, really. I mean, c’mon. There are literal TONS of things that would go well with vulpera, and they get extra bag slots? They dont even get an Archeology buff. Which would make perfect sense, all races have a preferred profession, even mechagnomes
