Vulpera Discussion Megathread (Part 1)

I'm actually excited now for a Vulpera with Engineering skills. Slap a wrench on their back, and you basically have Ratchet established.

Vulpera hunter with oversized gun, engineering skills and a mechanical pet named Clank

(I think I can hear the fans of gritty realism crying out in pain)
+1 internet for the person who caps this thread =3
Oh yikes this thread indeed is going to cap soon. Well I'll need to post support for the Vulpera on another thread, of course. You got this, Eevee!
I'm supportive of vulpera... tired of horde getting the best races lately tho :|

Danger noodles are cool too though!
I unfortunately think 8.2 will be the zandalari and kultirans the foxes are going to a longer wait

consider it compinsation for getting !@#$ed on a lore front. we are bad guys again! the xpack will likely end with Sylvanas becoming a raid boss in ICC 2.0 with azerite plague monsters.

That would suck, but I don't think the first allied races would be as late as 8.2. They mentioned they would be part of the first chapter of the story, 8.2 would be a stretch by that criteria
I feel like they're planning on adding a HUGE amount of Allied Races. I mean, people love them, it's rallying folks to stand and say what they'd like to be added, and those of us most passionate to pick apart the story and figure out hints and ideas as to how they'd fit in. Vulpera I feel had a giant chance to be added, considering the sheer hype around them. I remember seeing them for the first time, I squealed so loudly in joy that my boyfriend giggled. It was quite the fun occasion.

I reacted very similarly.
I squealed and instantly made a vow to myself that I would subscribe for a whole year if they became playable.
Don't care if I don't feel like playing or not. I'll log-on just to see my Vulpera. XD

New animation:

Vulpera can now drown.

I am conflicted :/


Note to self.....invest in underwater breathing equipment.
Or become very good friends with a Warlock.


Might I suggest the Artifact Fishing Rod! :D

See, this is my assumption as well with Allied Races. Races are one of the most requested things in WoW, heck in most MMO's. More options of personal expression are always fantastic!

At the same time, really hoping to get some news after launch on Worgen and Goblins and then maybe at some point seeing new in game hair and beard styles some day.

Indeed, in fact, yay on the thread's cap being increased :D Thank you moderation team, yall are the best!

Honestly, when I first saw them I was pretty "meh", but they have grown on me. Then again, when I first saw them I just wrote them off as purely NPC and that they had no chance of ever being playable. Now though, with some of the stuff data mined, I have kinda let the hype carry me away just a bit.

Go team Vulpera ◉◆◉
Go team Allied Races!
Since this thread had its post cap updated, I think we should return here for Vulpera discussion.

I'm still desperately fanning the dying ember of hope that they'll be Alliance.

I had accepted at first that they'll be Horde and I'll just have to play that, but the direction the devs have taken the Horde just since the reveal of the Vulpera have left me very disappointed.

The way things are looking now I may have to switch to an RP server to play a neutral one.


I don't like Sylvanas one bit and I really hope she doesn't remain leader of the horde beyond BFA. But even before she took over I would have said I like the alliance more. I only main horde now because all my friends defected.

That said, the faction you play rarely gets in the way of your day to day activities in WoW. Because Blizzard almost never makes faction exclusive content other than questing zones, it's very easy to forget you're a henchman of Sylvanas after reaching max level. As long as you have good friends and maybe an alliance alt to keep up with their story, you'll have fun.

Every race (except apparently for the Orcs) needs a priesthood, so the priest has to be a pretty good bet. Plus Vulpera + giant healing staff = win.


I would agree it seems likely given how near universal the priest class seems to be, but we've yet to see any NPCs with priest like abilities or any kind of holy ground. So it cannot be confirmed yet

(But if I had to bet...)

Have there been any further updates about the development of the race and if they will be seen as a playable option in the expansion?


There have not been any significant updates to their lore or model that I haven't posted here. I promise when the /dance or /sillies hit it will be front Page News here

Yeah this for me. I'm strongly an Alliance player. I don't really care which side Vulpera is on, that's where I go. I don't care if I have to turn straight traitor and go horde. I WILL be a cute fox.

Pretty much me as well. I have friends on both factions and whatever one gets Vulpera will see a lot more of me

Skip to :20 for Some Vulpera vs worgen pvp!

Also the kitten grooming the fennec kit nearly killed me. You have to warn people about that much cute saturation.
Oh Grats on the cap extension guys!

Thanks! I'm not exactly sure when or why it happened, but sometime after hitting cap and starting the second thread it turned out this one wasn't capped anymore.
Def on the Vulpera hype train. When I first saw them I though they were really cool but I was only so excited. After some time in the beta, the more I interact with their NPCs the more I grow to love them. I need a Vulpera character, NEED!
