I think I look a little more in line with a void goblin then a gilblin tbh though. There is a difference.

I think with a few tweaks, they can turn from void kelfins into ultraviolet/glowinthedark kelfins :slight_smile:

May be a little hard to see, but here is how the gilblin model looks with dark lightining. Picture quality is diminished in gif form so I can try to get a full picture later. I also added one to compare it to while its bright. Admittedly I am not sure if the fins and tatoos would be made to glow in the dark. It would be cool though. Eye though I do know for a fact do glow in the dark. The interesting thing about glow in the dark eyes is that in nature glow in the dark eyes usually means some kind of night vision.

I absolutely hope any Kelfin we eventually get have bio-luminescence.

These pictures should be a bit more clear. The downside of gifs also is that they tend to be smaller. You can also enlarge these. I will make some more as time goes by. I think having color changing elements would also work nicely. Especially for that moonkin form.

vulpera are the goblin allied race. the only way this can happen is as a customization option for normal goblins

The idea of their being parent ARs was removed in the shadowlands.

As seen here. Allied races are just listed alongside core races. The whole pairing idea is gone so this leaves a lot more openness for all kinds of races.

its not gone, thats just wishful thinking. we are more than likely going to get an undead allied race and one for the pandas and worgen eventually to round out the remaining ones that havnt gotten a reskin but for now allied races are done.

they might not be directly connected but every allied race was just a reskin of an existing race and vulpera were reskinned off goblins.

It is gone though because the slot pairing each allied race with other allied races with core races is gone and right now there is just a list of races with no more seemingly predefined slots. Another indicator of this was the shadowlands races. A while ago it was found that 4 shadowlands races had allied race tags on them that were then removed. Now the thing is that there were 4 of these races. If there was only going to be some kind of worgen and undead AR, then we should have expected 2 instead of 4. And all of these races don’t share any explicit similarities with worgens or undead in terms of rig. Night fae as I was told is using the draenei rig. Venthyr could be undead like, but aren’t using an undead rig. Kyrians aren’t undead and not using preexisting rigs of any king so far as I am aware and the maldraxxians. Maybe they could be undead, but they definitely aren’t sharing a worgen of undead rig.

and we wont be getting any allied races in the shadowlands expansion. we will possibly be getting a new class but we wont be getting a new race until the expansion after, years from now.
however that doesnt mean the shadowlands races cant be allied races, but they will just be like the highmountain tauren and come later

people say that the deathknight on allied races was the new class but i hopoe not. i hope we get a genuine new class instead of just an addition or respec to one

What a silly concept.

As though they can’t resuse the skeleton.

And customization wouldn’t cut it. So respecfully, no.

Kinda doubt that.

While the undead model show up in SLs, they’re hardly likely to be playable, worgen hasn’t shown up and Pandaren hasn’t either.

Its an odd metric to go by and it was always a player assumed metric anyways.

While Blizzard said not to expect one at launch, they never said specifically that they were off the table at all.

They did say they would be likely relevant, but theres a lot of leeway there.

We won’t be getting a new class. We’d know by now, it’d be the biggest selling point of the expac.

  1. It was confirmed at the start of shadowlands we won’t, but not past that. People said the same thing about allied races past the 4 that were announced and we got 6 allied races. Next thing is this:

This proves that the races of the covenants can travel outside the shadowlands and the viel between life and death has been torn.

  1. we will possibly be getting a new class but we wont be getting a new race until the expansion after, years from now.

This I’ve seen no evidence for so far. Not even leaks.

you both are hopeless…
just wishful thinkers. i hope you get what you want but its unlikely to ever happen

i hope you get what you want but its unlikely to ever happen

Considering that the unshackled did show up in 8.3 and is now an unofficial horde allied faction I’d say its not too far fetched. And these guys were the only npc race that showed up a faction city. Not even ankoan or wildhammer did this. I will be campaigning for the long haul anyway. if they ever do become playable I don’t expect it till after the expansion.

you both are hopeless…

Don’t forget though. I know you were one of the people who wanted Sethrak and are still actively campaigning for it with others. Just keep this in mind when you tell us about unlikely allied race requests.

Eh Maybe so.

No sense not trying to get what we want to see though. Plus they’re poised to join already.

Honestly they’ve a lot of good reasons to be on a top ten list of likely AR’s.

uhm im not though the sethrak will also never be an alliance or allied race lol the only way they could be is if they got the worgen slot but thats iffy at best

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/blizzard-gives-the-alliance-high-elves-are-you-negatively-affected/536031/653

You said so right here.

as a nuetral race. not as one of the main allied races. theyd be amazing if they were like the pandas and both horde and allaince could be one but i doubt bliz would ever do that again

Fair enough. Its fine though. We have many sethrak supporters and even vulpera lovers supporting in this thread. At the end of the day, I don’t have any control over what blizzard does. I mainly just want to make it known that kelfin are a wanted allied race and hope for the best. Even if they end up as customization, I want the best possible customization that can come out of it then.
