Iâve been struggling with depression in general. And call it dumb if you wish. But Vulpera are kind of something that perk me up. Knowing I got to wait even longer definitely made me feel like crap.
Will get myself to do anniversary event, and probably spend time on PTR. But nothing on PTR sticks so I have a hard time doing too much Iâd normally do.
Yeah, I definitely understand that.
NGL. Glad to hear that Vulpera fans are finally getting their race especially lore wise, they belong to the Horde. Also after playing Voldunai story, vulpera characters have grown in me.
Hoping that other allied race in the distant future would support Alliance too like vulpera fans. Despite the delay, at least it is safe and sound that you guys are getting them 
I feel you my year has been completely crappy and I may not be able to play Vulpera the one time I may be without internet.
And, of course, itâs gated behind a huge rep grind. sigh
And no, Iâm not doing it. This is EXACTLY why Iâm losing interest in the WoW franchise - both retail and classic. Itâs one thing to have elite mounts, titles, gear and shinies gated behind rep and achievements and all of thatâŚbut being able to fly or have access to ALL of the races should NOT be a timesink. Iâm not jumping through hoops for something that should be a basic part of gameplay.
Well with all the rep boosts ups right now and Darkmoon you could probably get exalted before the months end.
Itâs not just rushing thatâs causing the delay, they also donât want raiders to feel like they have to skip seeing grandma to grind all the things.
With Dazarâalor there wasnât as much âextracurricularâ progression (ilvl boost for WQ/pvp was linked to raid unlock), so patching in December and opening raid in January wasnât as big a deal. With 8.3 though, thereâs capes to upgrade and corrupted items to farm. An extra month of that would also risk making the raid easier than intended.
First, let me congratulate everyone that wanted Vulpera. Happy for everyone.
Second, I didnât want them but after having seen them I will probably make one. Not sure if Iâll keep him/her but I will try them out at least once.
Third, why Warlock and no Druid? I wouldâve loved for them to be Druids and it makes more sense to me if they were but Warlocks donât make sense from where Iâm standing. Iâm not coming at it from a lore sense but more of what Iâve seen of them and ran across. Donât remember any Locks or Druids for that matter but they seem to be more nature type to me then shadow.
If they were Druids I probably wouldâve been super excited because it wouldâve just fit in my mind and I probably wouldâve made them my go to Druid race. Unfortunately that isnât happening. 
I do like the tent racial and think more racials should go this way. Enough with my nonsense.
Congratz all on getting Vulpera as a playable race! Really happy for you guys/gals.
They wonât be remotely harmed but shutting down WoW to hang out with grandma. But hey not everyone celebrates christmas or winter holidays, not everyone has family. Very ego centric and presumptuous of you. People who do those things should know how to priorities real life over a video game.
Presumptuous? Iâm literally paraphrasing what they saidâŚ
Itâs pretty cool that weâre getting Vulpera but I have noooooo idea what Iâm going to do for mine.
Feels like a lot of allied races have the same couple of class choices (looking at the sheer lack of paladins or druids here other than two cases each) which doesnât help a whole lot.
Which is still ego centric, presumptuous and insulting to a players ability to be a responsible individual.
Blizzard is making assumptions and judgement calls and youâre backing them up.
We have 6 weeks before the holidays really begin. Launch the patch in 2 weeks. thatâs a month to get some of the pre raid stuff done. Then you hang out with family and do holiday stuff (if thatâs a thing you do) and then jan hits and the raid releases. They literally did this last year. No one was ignoring their family responsibilities to play 8.1. Well canât say no one, but either way itâs not blizzardâs job to babysit us. The patch will be ready way before Jan and they are delaying it artificially for artificial reasons.
Not when my highest horde toon is 112.
Thatâs the thing. You play mostly one or two characters of the same faction in an expansion, and suddenly when they throw down new races with rep grinds it throws a section of players completely out of contention for some of these new races. Same mistake thy made in the last expansion.
You can get like 85% increased leveling speed with heirlooms, and war mode, and the anniversary event. Could hit 120 from that in 1 maybe 2 play sessions.
Again, youâre assuming everyone has boosted their heirlooms to 120 and enjoy pvp.
And it also ignores the basic premise that basic parts of gameplay like races, classes and mobility shouldnât be gated to begin with.
I never told you to pvp. Most folks arenât going to bother you in war mode at low levels.
As far as levelling up heirlooms. Thatâs super easy to do. Itâs not on me that youâre too lazy to invest in some basic QoL things. If you want something you have to earn it. It can be made easier but the investment comes somewhere. You canât get everything for free.
if theres 1 thing im disappointed withâŚ
holy heck why did this poor hyena get strapped with a giant tent?
And thereâs the problem. You earn gear. You earn sexy mounts. You earn titles.
You donât earn a new race or class. That is basic gameplay. Too many people here are becoming conditioned to getting next to nothing for their money in this game.
Because then theyâd have to make models for all the druid forms I assume. Maybe somewhere down the line. Tiny little fox-bear tanks sound pretty adorable.
They seem like the perfect fit for rogues. Unfortunately I already have one so Iâm leaning towards hunter.
I think itâs removable now.
Who made these rules? And who enforces them? You arenât the god of games. Traditionally races arenât unlocked. But traditionally you use to lose exp when you died, that was changed. We move on. You have access to all the prime races without need of any purchasing. But allied races are something you have to earn. Theyâre not core races. Theyâre special. If you want them you earn them. Itâs been 2 years since the first allied races were added. The stuff to unlock Vulpera has been available since the expansion launched. Theyâve been predicted to be an allied race since their model update in the beta. Youâre the one who chose to never level a horde alt to 120 and not work on the rep grind.
Laziness isnât rewarded.
