I have high hopes in Sethraks!
I hope Blizzard does not kill hope!


Can't kill the nope rope of hope!

Vulpera and Sethrak go go!
I'm really nervous about Blizzcon as it gets closer. It's been a very long year since Blizzcon 2017 and if I can be honest with all of you, I'm starting to get weary. We haven't had any real news worth mentioning on playable vulpera since Mid summer and I really need something new to lift my spirits T T

Hang in there. You've been doing a Loa's work keeping the Vulpera fire burning Eevee. I am sure I speak for many here when I say that we appreciate what you and other Vulpera community leaders are doing to keep our desire for a Vulpera Allied Race visible.

Hopefully we get some good news soon.

Just a few more weeks till Blizzcon. I will be disappointed if they aren't part of the announcement. I know the Worgen and Goblin need updating first, but we've already seen how much effort had been put into making the vulpera model. They will hopefully be mentioned by Blizzcon, even if it means a release of 8.3 or later.

Please Blizzard, you tease us with a small cute race that has a lot of effort put into it, would be a shame for it to go to waste once the Expansion is over. For the love of Azeroth, they have a flipping animation and sleeping animation. How often do you see them jumping or sleeping in game? An animator spent days doing those for little to no purpose. They also have eyes that blink. Common blizzard, if this is a thing stop teasing us.

Must have faith that they will be tears of joy, there is nothing in game that has anything near the level of attention they have received and their placement for an allied race is near perfect.

I look forward to the day where you're avatar finally shows that fox!
If it is not announced this blizzcon then it could still be announced at blizzcon 2019 as something you get for prepurchase of the next expansion.

We now have a Lore Excuse for Horde Vulpera! And if Shaw's dialogue is anything to go by we will get Blood Trolls eventually(once he gets rid of Brann to remove the need to pretend that he wants the Blood Trolls to die fighting Zandalari of course)!
Oh man, I am getting hyped. I mean... Sucks about the death squads and all, but I am so ready to welcome the Vulpera in! Now we just need to start going around and telling the Vulpera about the Light and what it can do for them~
**Spoiler**
HereĀ“s a video about the Horde incursion in Voldun on patch 8.1.

..... I really hope that blizz is going to give us some story reason for this. I mean hell even the Imperium of Man has enough tact to wait till hostility is clear before dropping melta bombs on a person.

seriously, when 40k has less edge than your game someone screwed up somewhere.
Looks like the main WoW panel at Blizzcon is at 6:30 Eastern Friday night, so if we're going to be getting vulpera confirmation, that's when it'll happen.
Well it's not going to be hard to justify your Vulpera being Horde now. With random out of the blue death squads.

Pretty silly for the Alliance to be written doing this, but honestly both factions stories are pretty bad right now, especially Horde..
RIP anyone wanting Vulpera on Alliance side.

Eh I thought they would fit more with the horde anyways, so thatā€™s fine. Iā€™m hoping that they do go horde because there is an obvious counter part and enemy to the vulpera that would make sense to go to the alliance.
*tounge flick*
Overall I just think they would be a fun and interesting new allied race.

Well, so far they've worked pretty equally with both Horde and Alliance (Snek bois that is) so they'll need to invent a reason for them to side exclusively with the Alliance.

That hasn't been even remotely a possibility since their inception. Alliance has (until the death squads) had near zero interaction where not only do the Horde save them, they're part of the main story for the Horde faction in that zone on top of also having a rep for them....the Alliance does not.

While true, I think Vorrik's desire for neutrality will be what ends up pushing them towards the Alliance. Just wait until Sylvanas or some other Horde higher up want help from the Devoted to help clear out the Alliance from Vol'dun and he refuses to get involved. Or Nisha starts indiscriminately attacking Sethrak or something. It's bound to happen. Blizzard isn't oblivious enough to think Vulpera and Junk Gnomes are a good deal in the AR department.
If Horde get Vulpera, Alliance would have to get Sethrak. Robot Gnomes aren't going to cut it.

I think thatā€™s how itā€™s going to happen, as it works with the desire for neutrality the sethrak have. Iā€™m not going to debate that here though.

I was trying to come up with fur color ideas besides the basic sandstones you find in the desert. Anyone else see colors that were not just tan?
The silver lining I see here is I get to do more stuff with my favorite bloodthirsty fox girl.
