What are your thoughts on the Vulpera?

anyone who plays a vulpera is definitely a little light in the loafers

It’s a free Hearth that they can put almost anywhere.

Oh, so it’s kind of like the Tent that you can make from the Garrison Tannery?

The snakes would have been better….

I don’t like them because they are a quite clearly shoved in “cute/cuddly” race that happens to be furry.

They have the least lore out of any race in the game. Their story is “slaves who live in the desert and used for food and if free barely surviving”.

They could have made them interesting by narratively exploring the Vulpera’s history of being oppressed, how that affected them, how there is very few of them part of a united vulpera people, etc.

But instead their story is an overly willing slave caste gaining help from the Horde and then be willing and able to fight a war they’re not a part of.

They’re adorable! There’s a lot of helms that are pretty bad on them though.

Female Vulpera look cute and are good.

Male Vulpera look weird, and skeezy, and mangy, and skuzzy, and like yappy little dogs with a weird V shaped torso. Horrible creatures.

All I am going to say is that I personally have no issue.
I won’t play them, because too smol.
However, I will also make note that whoever designed their models…well, I would wager they make a subsidy of money off fan-art sites for anthropological-types.
It looks odd and moves oddly.

Just like I only have two gnomes, one for playing with an old friend, and a mechagnome that I made and then never logged into.
Nothing wrong, just too many other things I am doing

Its crazy to me even after all these years people saying they would have been received better on the Alliance meanwhile Horde having a pretty negative view on them.
Personally, I think about 3 in 4 Vulpera players I have come across in a RP setting were neutral anyway just like most Pandaren players.
I like Vulpera but I had a hard time playing a small race, if they were bigger I would 100% main one if they were playable on the Alliance as most of my friends are Alliance.

“But they attacked them! Racial divide is the pillar of the game!”
Takes off the mask
Blizzard Dev?!
“And I would have gotten away with it and banked off that sweet faction change $$$”

they should be in alliance

No, theirs is a placeable anywhere outside (so almost anywhere) hearthstone with a cooldown, that also acts as a rested zone, the last of which is the only thing the tannery does.

I have a vulnerable mage and port + hearth + make camp is pretty ridiculous tbh.

Still would’ve perferred Gilgoblins, they fit better in the lore because we were down in Nazjatar with them, Horde was anyway.

They are an actual allied race, related to Goblins.

Vulpera are a totally new race, never seen before BfA.

I feel like Vulpera was 100% to attract more furries into the game, and to give Horde, the faction that isn’t as dead, a cutesy race.

And now, with Dractyr, it seems the game is being designed around them in mind lol.

Also, I’m very certain that most folks wanted Sethrak over yet another canine-furry race. We already have Worgen.

I would like to beable to have Vulps available to alliance or to be able switch faction them to alliance

The Horde was just as ‘in there’ with the Vulpera in Vol’dun.

How can you be so certain? There are two ways to determine which allied races are the most popular among players; realm population charts that list percentages, and social chat sites (like this one) on which we make our preferences known.

Unfortunately, the first only includes the races that have already been implemented…not the ones we’d like to have, like Gilgoblins, Saberon, Sethrak, etc…and many say their accuracy is questionable. The second would be difficult to tally, to say the least.

That said, my memory of how much demand there was early in the BfA expansion for Vulpera as a playable race differs a great deal from yours. And even though they may not be perfectly accurate, the WoW-population sites all indicate Vulpera have become far more popular than you obviously believe. Take WoWanaytica’s list, for example:

  1. Blood Elf - 20.06%
  2. Night Elf - 9.43%
  3. Orc - 9.35%
  4. Human - 9.22%
  5. Troll - 5.93%
  6. Tauren - 5.49%
  7. Undead - 4.69%
  8. Zandalari Troll - 4.54%
  9. Void Elf - 3.82%
  10. Vulpera - 3.43%
  11. Pandaren - 2.89%
  12. Draenei - 2.61%
  13. Mag’har Orc - 2.31%
  14. Nightborne - 2.20%
  15. Worgen - 2.07%
  16. Goblin - 2.06%
  17. Highmountain Tauren - 1.86%
  18. Dwarf - 1.77%
  19. Dark Iron Dwarf - 1.70%
  20. Gnome - 1.55%
  21. Lightforged Draenei - 1.26%
  22. Kul Tiran - 1.08%
  23. Mechagnome - 0.68%

It seems likely that this list is out of date, since it doesn’t include the Dracthyr yet…but it still shows the Vulpera coming in at 10th place out of 23. I wonder where they would place with a more recent census…?

Cool race with a focus on efficiency and looking for things of value to sell for the caravan.

But I feel like they need a lot more lore, some interesting mysteries about them to be sure.

They’re a cool race and I think they’re a great addition to the Horde.

It would be nice if they received some further lore advancements, though.

Definitely a race that was shoehorned in to cater to furries.

hugable. loveable.
have two at level 60.

I have one Vulpera Beast Mastery Hunter as an alt. It’s good. I just leveled it for the Heritage Set and it paid off. Looks awesome specially when combined with one of the Legion Artifact bows, for the quiver. They also look great on certain mounts like the Alpacas, Hyenas, Ottuks, the flying Rats and the horses, most speciically the Terrified Pack Mule! Oh and one of the expedition Islands Albatroz (the one you buy with dubloons) looks great too
