Unofficial Sethrak Discussion Thread 🐍

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Everyone should do it!

mmmm not a bad idea… though we shouldn’t spam em.

Because at the start of the expac it would’ve made just too much sense for Bliz to add them to be an Alliance AR since it was obvious Vulpera would be for the Horde, as a counterpart.

In a world were blizz made sense, Sethrak would’ve been the AR instead of robo gnomes.

Lets not be mean to the Mechagnomes. They’re ok folk and there is nothing we can do about them being in the game. Plus they’re actually kinda fun now that I have one and have been rping it a bit…

So out of curiosity, I did pickpocket a Sethrak to turn into one and play around with the emotes some.

Seems like the only emotes I really saw animated were talking, pointing, sleeping, and jumping. There is not much else. They can’t ride mounts and they don’t even have a stealth animation. Also no backwards swimming animation, either. Guessing they were primarily just made to be NPC’s. I do know they have a Heart of Azeroth animation, though.

Nothing some work on playable models can’t fix, of course!

They had several of their emotes and animations removed when Blizzard locked down the Vulpera… Not sure why.

While I enjoy my robo gnome death knight(as this was the silliest race combo I could think of), I agree that Sethrak and Vuplera would be a better race pair. Blizz could have used a different rep for Dark Iron’s or just shared 7th Legion rep.(better yet have no rep grind) Hindsight is 2020 though, I honestly think Blizz thought Ally wouldn’t like Sethrak or that they preferred mecha gnomes internally.

Either way here is to future Sethrak!

[Bagzak-rexxar]

You’re right, I completely forgot about them riding krolusks. I wonder if only specific Sethrak models can ride mounts or if they only ride that one specific mount. I don’t think I have a Krolusk mount to test this, sadly. x- x

They had several of their emotes and animations removed when Blizzard locked down the Vulpera… Not sure why.

Interesting that they did that. Not sure what to think, to be honest, though that does seem suspect.

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

No spoilers, perhaps? The playerbase about had a bloody conniption when stuff was mined on Vulpera.

Maybe they wanted to avoid that with Sethrak and keep the surprise. It would be a big deal after all if Sethrak are to become the first playable reptillian race for WoW.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

That is one of the things I’ve been thinking of. Hiding it because they didn’t want to get too much hype well before they were ready.

Especially big deal if they’re fairly androgynous. First reptile and Androgynous.

Blizz thought Ally wouldn’t like Sethrak

Seems silly as i remember the Sethrak AR threads as early as BFA beta, when it became blatantly obvious that the Horde would be getting Vulpera.

I sincerely hope they already had Mechagnomes planned for the Alliance as that is the only valid reason i can give myself for forgiving Blizz for ignoring yet another highly requested Alliance AR.

[Martei-skywall (Martei)]

I’ve said this in many thread now i just want he alliance to be more then just elves and humans. yes i know there is pandas and 1 alien race but horde has such a huge variety of species. Dwarves and Gnomes are really just humans to me

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

I get that. I’d love to see us get Sethrak for that same reason more or less.

[Cezol-darkspear]

What? You don’t like:

Regular Human/Fat Human
Shorter Human/Tan Shorter Human
Smallest Human/Smallest Diaper Human
Sometimes Wolf-if-we’re-lucky Human

Not like we could of had Snakes or Tall Viking Humans with lore.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

I mean the viking humans are still human in that case… just proto humans… that sounds wrong.

And I’m happy the Mechagnome crowd got something nice.

I really do hope that Sethrak become a thing.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Saw this thread this morning…

'So... Why were people convinced we'd get Sethrak as an Alliance allied race?

[Briselody-lightnings-blade (Briselody)]

They should make it so when you reach exalted with Uldum accord you get a quest, a wastelander found an item, it’s an ancient Sethraliss relic, you take that to the Sethrak and a questchain to help/recuit them begins.

That’s actually a fantastic idea that solves a lot of the potential problems with attaching Sethrak to Uldum Accord. Them not physically being in Uldum isn’t an issue if we get a breadcrumb trail there to follow back to Vol’dun. And if a human Wastelander is the one that makes the connection, it gives an opening for the Alliance to be the ones to help them.

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

I still like my conspiracy theory idea, lmao.

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

I don’t even really understand the point they were trying to get across. But I’m all for arguing in favor of Sethrak.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Oh I’m pretty sure that was a troll. And I think we dealt with it well. Lots of Sethrak Support. Even those not in support weren’t super opposed.

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

I haven’t encountered many who are blatantly against Sethrak as a playable race actually.

The opposition is pretty minimal. Lot more people who are neutral or in favor.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Aye. Makes me hopeful. At the very least we won’t likely wait as long as High Elf fans have had to.

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

This is true, lmao. I shouldn’t laugh. I think there could be blue eyes or fair skin tones as customization to make this work as I’ve stated before.

I even dreamt about Sethrak being playable last night. Most disappointing wake up I’ve had in awhile, haha.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Omg, I’ve had two dreams so far. So sad when I woke up… I blame you. You got me interested in them and now I’m in deep. rofl.

[Nadezhdha-proudmoore]

Oh no, haha!

Well, I gotta take some people down with me.

-Digs Sethrak rabbit hole even deeper and hands out shovels-

Snakes utilize other animals’ burrows for shelter and to find food, there’s gotta be some playable Sethrak down here somewhere.
