Gotta love all the negativity. As someone who likes normal gnomes, I'll definitely be playing one, at least for an alt. (If they become an allied race, at least.)Do people think they were just gonna leave out the least played races on the Allied Race train? I figured it was obvious (nearly) every one was going to get one.The only one I can see being kind of questionable is Pandaren, and that's only due to their status as a neutral race.
horde needs more small sized races!
The negativity in this place is amazing. Then again, hating on everything Blizzard does nowadays is the new trend so I shouldn't be surprised.As a thorough enthusiast of gnomes, I say that it's nice to have more of the little guys around, even if I still prefer the normal version. Here's hoping that the next exp will bring the Tinker class, being able to wear mail, use ranged weapons and have customizable mech suits for tanking!
Oh Blizzard. Why didn't you stick to your original plan to add the Subrace customizations to the main races? Voidelf-Abominations, Nightborne and Kul Tirans aside, just imagine the possibilities of new combinations. ლ(ಠ_ಠ)ლ ლ(ಠ_ಠ)ლ ლ(ಠ_ಠ)ლ
These look absolutely amazing
TL,DR:Horde got true Allied Races!Alliance got funny Meme Races!
I feel like Mechagnomes will be a great neutral race.
cute, but not a good enough reason for me to come back. let me know when they add a new profession / class.
I main a gnome, and a third of my alts are gnomes too. I love gnomes, they are funny, silly, and quirky in a game that has mostly devolved into a pointless he-said-she-said race war cycle.That being said, please please PLEASE let these be an NPC race only. The Alliance already HAS gnomes. We dont need another race of gnomes that ends up being completely identical to the one we already have. These aren't mechagnomes - we met mechagnomes before, and they were tiny, vaguely gnome-shaped robots. These are regular gnomes that replaced their arms and legs with pieces of junk. That's not an allied race, thats the same race we already got with a very minor customization option that will end up invisible once you put on armor.And that's why this scares me so much. The Alliance sadly has a history of getting the same old races that are already available, just with a palette swap. Most of which had to be made up on the spot for that very opportunity. So these "mechagnomes" would fit the bill perfectly.
I rather have those as mogs for any race.
