Earthen Allied Race Complete Overview - Unlock, Classes, Racials, Mounts, Heritage Armor & MORE

[@MrGM]

What do you think of the Earthen Allied Race? twitch.tv/MrGM

[@Graavigala85]

very very very meh

[@BigTMaker]

Wasted creativity

[@pegeta]

waste of resources

[@Aolen75]

Just Another Recycled Race. Earthen, Dark iron just another Dwarf. Lightforged just another draenei. Zandalari just another Troll. Highmountain just another Tauren. Mag'har just another orc. Kul Tiran just another human. Void elf , Nightborne just another elf. Mechagnome just another Gnome. At least Vulpera , Worgen, Dracthyr were something different. Sorry but Hard to get excited about them. War within has some genuine great improvements and things I'm looking forward too but earthen just feels meh. Great Video not picking on you I hope you get what I mean here.

[@t0mbst0neyt]

[@DarkArtRP]

I wish they would bring decent allied races like the Sethrak and co. You know, allied races that are worthy of the name. They should have put all these extra Dwarven, Draenei and co. options better into the individual races instead of spamming these allied races with double and triple races that already exist.

[@christabelle__]

I doubt they'll ever give us any new race that requires a whole new rig ever again - even FFXIV said how hard it is to make all their gear from the game's whole lifespan fit a new race - and that's valuable time the team could be spending on everything else players want! I imagine any new race we'll ever see again will always be based on a rig that's already in the game - like basically every new race has been for several years now.

[@DarkArtRP]

Blizzard fixed this problem. When the Zandalari Trolls came out Blizzard had massiv problems because they weren't designed to be playable bye the players. The Nightborn had the exact same problem. Blizzard then announced, that from then on they would design all new races directly in the mindset to be in the future playable bye the players. In order to avoid exactly this problem, should it ever again occur in the future.

[@yagimii]

Sethrak would have been a great allied race

[@powersurge_beast]

Sethrak what lmao Vrykul, Mogu, Amani trolls, Saberon

[@Nerd704]

That would probably be a full race that needs a new skeleton. And would have similar problems to the dracythyr in their ability to wear armor and transmog.

[@superj-man137]

Hair and Beards from stone or crystalls would have been so amazing. It looks kinda odd the way it is now

[@cnacma]

It should’ve been stone. It looks bad right now because it doesn’t look like wires it just look like the 3D texture is broken.

[@CupOYerba]

The old Earthen NPC’s had stone beards. I was really hoping we would see something like that to really separate these from regular Dwarves.

[@Vertindex]

Ngl I was hoping for moss beards or something

[@AOCalive]

what did you expect, Blizzard Retardtainment... so much clipping, new animations are shit, older ones better and more specific for each race, now all classes use the same animations regardless what race you play, cloaks are shorter... purely idiots on that side of the team.

[@KlaelDemon]

If they were mossy, then they'd really grow on you.

[@kroneexe]

Their hair is made of metal strands.

[@jshadowhunter]

Ogres have been part of the Horde since the Founding of Durotar, back in Warcraft 3, and after 20 years of WoW they're still not playable... Oh yeah, and taunka, the tauren of Northrend are also trapped in a time bubble, despite joining the Horde in WotLK.

[@osirousfrost85]

We are going back to Northrend after Midnight, so. Taunka may not be a lost cause

[@somesassybrat305]

they never even bothered to "complete" the taunka, giving only males the unique bison look. Females just regular tauren still.

[@Vikingskog]

yea i remember even when vanilla WoW was pre-beta tons of people was asking for (and expecting) playable Ogres. I dont get it why they havent done it, it cant be any more difficult than Kul'tiran or Pandarean. Vrykul would been cool for the hordas well. And Tuskar.

[@OhNoTheFace]

@@osirousfrost85 Taunka would be a waste unless it is just new face options on a tauren

[@christabelle__]

I like how the outlier ogre-lovers think the cast majority of people want to be an all male, fat, ugly, two-headed race that can only be like...warlock, mage, and warrior. Nah man. I'd take Taunka though, and that is a race I could see Blizz actually doing - make whole new models? IDK if they'll do that again - allied races are variations on rigs they already have because it saves an immense amount of time on new races.

[@Wowzombie15]

Definitely making an Earthen + Sandstone drake color combo

[@hault360]

Earthen DK can't exist because they aren't flesh and blood, they can't be undead, and becoming a DK requires undeath

[@koobertohumperdink8702]

and yet they let lightforge draenei be death knights and warlocks...

[@Buildonsound]

I feel like they missed an opportunity with the mining joke. They should have made it: mining your own Bismuth. Seeing Bismuth is native to their starting zone.

[@Kumire_921]

We have like what, 4 types of dwarves recolors now? Allied races really got lazy lately

[@Boss-ot1iy]

Literally only 3. We have 4 elves.

[@kc_wolf9128]

At least they are slightly taller! 😂

[@sztachu]

Yeah, I like allied races, keep them coming but make them unique, because from what I can see, horde has 3 unique new races, the Zandalari, Nightborne and Vulperas, and Alliance has only 2, maybe even 1,5 because mecha-gnomes are unique but they are still based on gnomes with just some extra bits, and Kul Tiran humans are actually unique. These dwarves are pretty good imo, lot of customization and they are in the Horde as well, but still, they are just dwarves with some extra things. Actually new races would be cool, not just reskins/recolors.

[@Linda-yp3zj]

Horde dwarves

[@FluentMagpie]

"blah blah blah blah" stop being a hater, you're really killing the vibe.

[@gwynthehunter]

Unpopular opinion: Earthen are kinda cool. It's a shame that theyre just another Dwarf, but they do look very different aesthetically, love their zones, and Im excited to learn more about em

[@arnauddelaclos3221]

This is indeed unpopular

[@Khadharphak]

I'd rather they'd just made new customizations for dwarves and dark irons, it's the same thing for lightforged and such. It sucks not having the cool hairs, horns, accessories etc. tied to one version of a race that can't be combined with the others. Lightforged have all those cool horn jewelry options but regular draenei don't. And earthen get a lot of hairstyles and beards that would've been better on regular dwarves and dark irons. Not to mention those gem body options are kind of sucky when you compare them to some of the concept arts that have them meshed into banded patterns in their skin rather than awkwardly jutting out 10 inches from their shoulders.

[@TheHeroWTF]

Yeah, seriously considering race changing my dwarf paladin to an earthen once I unlock them!

[@Sujichan]

Nice! I can't wait to try them. First thought that ran through my head while you were showing the female version was the scene in The Two Towers when they're on their way to Helms Deep and Gimli talks about how people think Dwarves just pop out of the ground, but there are females and Aragorn quietly says the females have beards.

[@joch3085]

Yeah i can almost see the Blizz meeting happening "What could bring more players to the game? I know, a third Dwarf race!"

[@Blythe985]

Used to think so too but they kind of grew on me. Dwarves are charming and these have some serious lore connections. I think its just that we rather have other ones as a higher priority so its moreso the fact that we dont get many rather than these being bad

[@OrcDeathKnight]

I mean we have 4 elves, 6 if you included the lore that elves evolved from trolls. Wait then maybe we have 6 trolls?

[@weatheredseeker]

[@jare3959]

I love when jokes include references to lore. That thousands of years to reawaken bit was a nice touch. The flirt about dreaming too, because they canonically experience glimpses into their past lives. Despite the Archive for the most part wiping them clean.

[@buliwyfZrage]

Super excited to make my Earthen Shaman and possibly Paladin. At first I was a bit letdown but they definitely grew on me, specially with them being 25% taller than normal dwarves, makes the small model way more tolerable. They got really really cool customization options aswell.

I think Earthern DKs could make sense. DK power comes predominantly from their runeblades, and titanic beings tend to have a good grasp of rune magic. There's nothing stopping an Earthern from creating a runeblade with unholy power in it, if they wanted to.

Ofcourse the're no more druids, that would mean for Blizzard to make new models and actually do some work instead of just the easy cope/paste everything nowadays.

[@Johnnekaiser]

9:39. Because Earthen has the same Animations besides the Dance. I kind of want Blizz to have the ability to Swap Dances from one style to another and vice versa with the Earthen race.

the way mr gm completely disregarded xal'atath's taunts and got back to business is truly inspiring... my streamer...

[@BSwitchGTG]

Looking for racial clarification - 1 does damage, 2 heals, 3 does added dmg. Am I right that these build on each other, so if you do 2, it heals AND does damage to the target; 3 would do base damage, heal, and do that extra damage? I think this is the first empower that does markedly different actions (dmg and heal) based on the rank, so just wanted to be clear (and beta appears to be down atm)

Horde dwarves are horde dwarves. No need for any ally toons now. Thank you for the video and breakdown of things. I think I know the girl earthen voice

[@Blobby90]

I'm all for expanding with alternate species and cultures of races. By having Dark Iron Dwarves as a separate race we got cool racials that fit their backstory, the same as other subspecies that became allied. I just wish Blizzard would stop pushing the Neutral Races as I feel they completely destroy faction identity. With the Pandaren it was a spiritual decision based on their beliefs and so they were completely fine killing other Pandaren if they were on the opposing faction. I know there's a strong peace now to make it more believable but I liked it better when each faction got a race to themselves

[@Robert-xe2tt]

Gods she looks soo cool

[@D3th10rd]

I do wish they kept the option to be Death Knights, cause with the existence of the Bronze Dragonflight and stuff, it kinda feels silly to block off options now due to "not having been there at the time" cause now everyone can "be there at the time" to learn those methods of combat to bring back to the current timeline.

[@dds0284]

It doesn't make sense lore wise because they are not flesh and blood they are made of rock, they also don't eat food, they only eat minerals. They can't be undead because they ain't alive in the sense that's required for death knights. Yes some kind of magic could prolly reanimate them but they'd just be rocks again lol

[@D3th10rd]

@danielsteiger6823 True, though I counter with Mechagnomes. While they do still have some flesh left, they are almost entirely machine, whether inside or out yet they can be death Knights. Blizzard themselves stated the only reason they got rid of the option for them to be DKs was due to no current lich king rather than saying it doesn't make sense for the stone to not be undead.

[@Doddweon]

Not sure how it went in other places, but here videogames are expensive so there was a small trend of "playing" Just Dance through youtube, and the Rasputin dance got somewhat famous then. I wouldn't be surprised if this influenced the decision, since videos of that dance have millions of views Also, different dances for the same skeleton? Dance studio confirmed soon™️?
