Unofficial Sethrak Discussion Thread 🐍

Släm-trollbane · January 3, 2019, 12:48am

Owning a snake would be cool, but I feel as though I would be a lousy owner. Reptiles in general just seem so high maintenance to own and complicated. Not like cats who only need food in their bowl and they are golden. I am content to just gaze upon them from a distance for now.

Snakes are probably one of the lowest maintenance pets you could possibly own.

Relart-amanthul · January 3, 2019, 3:00pm

Only issue i’d see with reptiles is if your house can’t handle constant electricity flow beyond the normal Appliances since some reptiles need higher grade heating then others snakes included.

There is a female Sethrak model in game for the Avatar of Sethraliss. The differences seem very slight so far. A slight narrower frame. But if there a difference it’s very subtle and hard to see under the armor.

Hylianlich-boulderfist · January 4, 2019, 1:06am

There not as high maintenance as a cat or dog or bird only challenge would be are you up to have a source of heat for them powered by your electricity feeding isn’t to bad once or twice a week and they are good since they will spend the rest of the week working of the food you gave em.

Släm-trollbane · January 4, 2019, 1:09am

Maybe high maintenance is the wrong phrase, but the whole heating and feeding aspect wards me off of it.

Hylianlich-boulderfist · January 4, 2019, 6:16am

Is it the fear of being bitten? That can easily be avoided or just their feeding habits?

Släm-trollbane · January 5, 2019, 12:56am

Nah I cut myself all the time, its no problem getting bit. Idk, truth be told I am probably just to lazy to own a pet and I am making excuses. I would have to wait till I moved anyways because my apartment doesn’t allow pets or maybe that’s just dogs.

Fallynn-wyrmrest-accord · January 5, 2019, 3:01am

Yes, hi there. I would like to continue to support our sneks, and now that I have magical powers, I’d like to bless this thread.

You peeps let me know if you need any images posted to look fancy. But yes, FOR SETHRAK! I love you snakes.

Praise Sethraliss! Something you guys should know:

Enjoy!

Can’t wait to be disappointed by employees talking for an hour, but managing to not say anything of consequence regarding ARs, again.

Seije-aerie-peak · January 7, 2019, 9:10pm

someone whould post a question regarding the fate of the sethrak and let us know so we can all go upvote it

Gorgrima-bleeding-hollow · January 7, 2019, 9:48pm

I need to understand the appeal. I think the Sethrak (and the Vulpera) are two of Blizzard’s most poorly conceived race ideas-- they’re contrived and silly. Was there this much community feedback for Mogu or Saurok (MoP)? I know of a few races that have been requested for a long time; Ethereals and Arokkoa from BC and Tuskarr from Wrath. None of which have become playable.

Compared to Blizzard’s previous NPC-only race creations, I consider almost all new races in BFA to be the bottom of the Blizzard barrel in terms of originality. What is the Sethrak/Vulpera appeal, and why do people want to play as either of these?

Släm-trollbane · January 7, 2019, 9:57pm

I did, go and upvote now if you like my question. If not then maybe someone else can ask something.

I think its obvious why people want vulpera so badly. Foxes have got to be the most highly overrated animal in existance, either foxes or cats/dogs. I want sethrak because wow does not have one single playable reptilian race. That race could have been saurok or naga, but sethrak seem the most likely. Saurok are brain dead savages and naga feel unlikely due to the legs issue.

Fahrenheit-doomhammer · January 8, 2019, 1:32pm

There wasn’t as much community feedback for previous NPC races as Allied Races weren’t a thing. Before ARs, new race(s) were a once an every other expansion type of event, so while there was certainly talk about what new player race we could see in the next expansion, it wasn’t like it was now, with the possibility of 6 or 8 new player races during an expansion. Plus, Blizzard has gone out of their way to say the ARs will be part of the story and have a lead up to becoming actual player races, not just, you buy BC or Cataclysm and you can make BEs/Space Goats, Worgen/Goblins, so people are more inclined to petition for their favorites.

Puremallace-arthas · January 8, 2019, 1:35pm

I’ll play Sethrak but if they gate the race behind some stupid rep requirement then the answer is no.

Kahlua-stormrage · January 8, 2019, 3:24pm

I posted a question on it! Page 4 (for right now) under the name Zelphus~

The Sethrak had a strong sense of story in Vol’dun for horde players, and some introductory story with the alliance upon setting up base. I feel like their story after the horde side, with Mythrax and the orbs, it just died off right after with the death of Korthek.

Will there be any continuation with story either horde or alliance side to further develop any story/lore with this desert dwelling race?

that was my question :3

Seije-aerie-peak · January 8, 2019, 5:32pm

i found you guys’ posts (and a couple of others) that mentioned Sethrak and upvoted them all. Highly encourage others to do the same!
