First!

Kelfin for the Horde! One of the best races of BfA! (And before!)

And man those glowy bits. I hope that makes it in if Blizzard goes for Kelfin down the line.

Fully support this addition. Also I would definitely roll a Kelfin druid especially if there were glowy parts to them. I think that’s one of the neatest ideas on this, which is very well done. I also do not believe model sharing is an issue (See: Void Elves, Mah’gar, Dark Iron Dwarves…). Kelfin have their own theme, and a niche not filled yet by any current playable race.

Gods what I would give for that.

I really love Kelfin. They grew on me so well during BfA… I need them.

I’m indifferent, but always enjoyed your work gnomest. Love the glow effects, mermaid/druid ones and really like those in the dresses, though not sure what they are [but still very sharp].

Nice job as always! :slight_smile:

Mergoblin I suppose. The gothic looking one I call a queenfish. The one that looks like a zora I call a sea dragon transformation. It could work as a moonkin one with more effort though. I am really proud of the queenfish one and seadragon as I think those look so cool.

They most likely won’t be. They have nothing to do with SL. And they already made a race based off the goblin rig.

Of course, I also hope beyond hope that they’re done with AR.

Blizzard said they weren’t finished with ARs and that there would be more. Them having someting to do is not required because Mag’har and Dark Irons didn’t have much to do with BFA. As for a race based on the goblin rig. What I am requesting here is a rig change up/and or geometry change to help it stand out. Kinda like what was done for kultirans and zandalari.

you may hope that AR’s are done. I don’t.

Kelfin and many other races would best be implemented this way.

Also there is nothing stopping them from making more races off of any of the rigs. And Blizzard has said that they intend to use the AR system to add races going forward.

I’m so happy to see an unique AR thread up! I have to say, they compliment the Horde nicely and we see them outside Orgrimmar, and I would hope either as an AR or customization option for Goblins done right that Blizzard might think about them!

I really wanted the Kelfin for the Horde. It also wasn’t fair that the Alliance got a subrace(mechagnomes) but Horde got an entire new race. Alliance should get a new race next, and we get the Kelfin.

KELFIN FOR THE HORDE!

This makes me sad.

Yes they did. We’ll most likely see AR from SL.

KT was a brand new rig. Zanda still looks like Nelf to me, only better. But since there are two Nelf rigs Horde side, I have no basis to argue that. I had forgotten about Zanda.

No no. Blizzard confirmed both male and female are the Darkspear rig.

Only the old Pandaria models are Nelf. They were not used for the player model.

I need proof of this. Because they move like Nelf males and the rigs look exactly the same.

I’d like Kelfin for the Alliance. Why? Reasons! But really, they live in the sea, so their oil spilling cousins wouldn’t be liked I imagine. Picture someone messing with your ability to breathe @_@ not so fun huh? At any rate, they’re cool 'n I’d love to play one! :otter:

I don’t know if they will ever be playable or not. I still think my argument from before holds some weight. You may be right for all I know. I mainly just want to make it known that Kelfin are a wanted allied race on the .000001% chance blizzard sees this and agrees they should be made playable. It saddens me that they weren’t made playable in 8.3 Vulpera isn’t bad, but I think having the kelfin and voldunai be same faction partners would have been a good idea as the kelfin have literally every reason to join if not more reason. We saved them from a major threat in BFA, aided them in some tough times. They expressing a unique level of interest in the horde and even showed up in durotar. Maybe they are just going the route of ogres and taunka.
