Vulpera Celebration Thread! 🦊

Fallynn-wyrmrest-accord · October 29, 2019, 4:30am

I feel like I’m repeating this a lot lately. I promise from the bottom of my heart that not every elf player is like that.

…Though, maybe I’m just an outlier.

I am also waiting on another game. Warframe. The next major (major) patch is coming up sometime this week. They never give specific days and was meant to come out last week but got delayed. Once that’s out I’ll have plenty to do until foxes. New warframe, story continues, new kitty kat. Lots to do.

Also project Gorgon. But doubt that update will hit before Vulpera. Still plenty for me to do. Not even level cap. So been playing that mostly as I wait. Small indie game while I wait for big not indie game to come out with stuff.

I was so excited for Zandalari but I really feel the little foxes calling to me. I will race change and level a something or other (maybe a warrior tank?) for the heritage armor.

…I totally leveled in Voldun first and it was my first rep to get to exalted…Just in case, you see…

Well if the patch won’t drop by Blizzcon I will have Luigi’s mansion 3 and Pokemon to tide me over if we are expecting a Dec update or further.

If I kill an orange one, can I wear their tail as a necktie? Or that too fantastic for Azeroth’s Mr. Fox?

Velaethia-nazgrel · October 29, 2019, 6:55pm

They already beat ya to this.

Saiure-stormrage · October 29, 2019, 10:03pm

Looks like they’re clearing all the current characters off the PTR next Tuesday, and we’ll be able to see the new intro for vulpera characters.

Saiure-stormrage · October 29, 2019, 10:07pm

Looks like I misread it, it’s the introduction questline for the new patch. May or may not include the new vulpera character introduction.

A female vulpera hunter with a gun while out of range but auto attacking lays their gun up on their shoulder like ratchet and clank until you go into range and resume autoattack. Its clear they are doing some special stuff with ranged weapons and are probably working on that kind of stuff.

Nimze-wyrmrest-accord · October 29, 2019, 10:14pm

What does this mean, Vulpera live soon?

Saiure-stormrage · October 29, 2019, 10:26pm

I imagine we’ll get the cinematic trailer for 8.3 during blizzcon, hopefully along with a release date.

Soji-emerald-dream · October 30, 2019, 12:43am

Finalest rep update for reals: Got to 20, 800 off dailies and finished it off by spamming out a couple expeditions for a shiny shell. Got my hyena, bought the armor for the appearance. I’m ready to be very foxy right as they release!

Saiure-stormrage · October 30, 2019, 12:49am

Looks like we might still have a while to wait, as one of the latest blue posts mentions changes coming to the PTR “in the coming weeks”

Mero-wyrmrest-accord · October 30, 2019, 12:54am

Maybe… but remember when they said we’d see 8.2.5 within several weeks and it was released a week and a half later? I think we could still see 8.3 before November ends.

Jarbek-thrall · October 30, 2019, 12:59am

From my experience in the PTR we still have a long ways to go. In the current build many items still have [PH] in their name and see NPCs saying stuff like [DNT][DLT]. They still got to get some phasing issues work out as well. I took a level 86 Rouge into Uldum only to be met by packs of 120 toons. I doubt Blizzard intends to take out an entire questing zone for the 80-90 tier. We are also entering the Holiday season as well so that’s going to impact the release date as well.

Mero-wyrmrest-accord · October 30, 2019, 1:02am

We’ll see. I just checked 8.2, which was probably the largest patch of this expansion - in terms of content - it was on PTR for two months. But 8.3 doesn’t seem to have nearly that amount of content, so it would need slightly less. It hit PTR at the beginning of this month, I think the end of November is a reasonable estimate. But we’ll see. I think we’ll get a date at BlizzCon.

Edit P.S.: Early December is possible, too. And they’ve released content, then. Most notably, Cataclysm. In which case, the raid would then unlock in January.

Wowhead has uploaded a video of the Vulpera racial mount:

Includes several animations, including walking and jumping.

Grayphus-nemesis · October 30, 2019, 2:25am

And Blizzard goes on giving additional polishes to our vulperas!

Velaethia-nazgrel · October 30, 2019, 3:47am

I doubt they’re gonna delay it until after the holidays that’s not realistic. More likely late november release but raids will wait until jan. Pretty sure they did something similar in the past with a raid patch.

Uncommitted-khazgoroth · October 30, 2019, 11:07am

I had considered race changing a hunter to Vulpera until I noticed the serpent seems to be a unique look with Sevriss being the closest in appearance.
Fortunately, many of the various tameable foxes are available in Eastern Kingdoms at low level.
