I was really expecting that they’d let people choose whether to have one set of arms/legs or both sets after the comic established that those gnomes had changes done over a longer period of time, and that how many parts they traded out was a sign of stature.
I guess they wanted to avoid situations where people would choose to have fleshy limbs and still have the mechanical idle animations, and didn’t have a system to constrain that unless they made them all mechanical at once.
I don’t have any source for that at all, its just my armchair guess.
As for the OP, I probably won’t be rolling one, but I’m looking forward to seeing them as forum alts because the forum RP and the unique way they carry themselves is really fun. Same with Nightborne.
When I said I wanted to play a mechagnome, THIS is not quite what I meant. At best these are like. Gnome cyborgs.
The term ‘Mechagnome’ brings to mind the dudes like Mimiron, the titan-y gnomes. THAT is what I really want. Even if I’m not articulating myself well. It’s very late.
It’s sad because they could have done it… and we would have avoided a lot of this mess. At least I think so. And for those folks that already like 'em, they’d just be even happier.
Yes! That would have been right, but then, BfA does not seem to be an expansion where something right for ally is in the devs’ plans when they are determined to just give us compromises.
