World of Warcraft The War Within Alpha gave us our first playtest of new allied race the Earthen Dwarves in the Ringing Depths, but it seems they won't be the only new playable option in this first chapter of the World Soul Saga. As testing of the Hallowfall zone looms, we look at three new playable races and customisation options which appear to come with it. The Arathi Half-elves will give players pointed ears for humans and rounded ears for elf players. The Harronir appear to be the "missing link" in the Dark trolls evolution into Night Elves, proto-elves if you will, and have so many customisation options in the data that they seem certain to be a new allied race. The Lightforged Forsaken finally make their debut appearance after Calia Menethil was first empowered by the Naaru in the Before the Storm novel. We take a closer look at these new player options and customisations!

when talie said "and its not ogres obviously, you're never getting them" i didnt realize that still hurts almost 20 years later
Arent ogres...stupid?
FOR REAL DUDE
RIP those private servers that let you anyways
Which is ridiculous
😢
glasses off = new Arathi elf/human hybrids
glasses on = Breton
Average TES enjoyer
Skyrim be like
Boy that crystal sure is high up, isn't it?
A High Rock, if you will.
Gingerbread dwarves in their gingerbread house
Is their house made of dwarf, or are they made of house?
it is like humans and flesh
some flesh is for eating, some is for being
some stone is for house, some stone is for food
@@deckie_ I'm just imagining them recoiling in disgust "You're eating BASALT?? We're not that desperate come on..." Limestone, now that's good eating.
@@mistformsquirrel Isnt that essentially how the goron in the LoZ universe work? People made of stone, living in stone caves and houses, eating stone. Mining being their whole deal and all?^^
Are they houses made of dwarf
or are they dwarf made of houses
they scream, for they know not which
They scream, for they do not know
Stone Tony walked, so the Earthen could run
I believe they rocked and rolled
Love this post haha.
Rock and stone
@@sovereign009m3 ROCK! AND! STONE!
Tony walked only to stand around in Valdrakken for the entire expansion and getting like two quests; he's a worse wasted oportunity than Baine :( least he got a fire cinematic.
When you think about it, adding Half Elves now makes perfect sense. People have been spending nights with them in Goldshire since 2004.
Chris MEtzen told during the Blizzcon that all elven tribes will gather for Midnight so I'm not surprised they might introduce new elves races
Good point!!
These might not even be the last of them.
How many elvesss, I love elves, but was enough when they were just night elves, high elves and blood elves
@ShadowWolfRising i'll happily take more elf races if they actually look different (like the harronir) but i agree we dont need more blood/night/void elf type races
@@ShellyBeansGaming The Harronir look COOL, and I've never been much of an elf/troll fan.
Hmm...those human ears on elf characters would be a nice change from my ears randomly poking through my plate helms on my paladin.
Doesnt fix the eyebrows though
They're rock, and they eat rock. We're meat, and we eat meat. It makes sense.
Queue the Geodude existential crisis meme
We don't live in meat houses and sit on meat chairs
@@murmurrrr Maybe depends on how you categorize leather?
No seriously, it does. We eat meat because it has the good chemicals that our bodies need, but can't produce naturally, in order to grow, do routine maintenance, keep everything running etc. The rocks that the Earthen eat probably function in a similar capacity.
Can't keep a fire going without fuel, and all that.
@@murmurrrr ....But what if we did? *Queue horrific visions*
Wait, this looks familiar... did "Taliesin & Evitel" steal this from the Patreon account "Taliesin and Evitel" and just slap an ad on it?
The Harronir look more like evolved Quilboars - mouth tusks, fur, quills.
100%. They're covered in quills and are wearing thorns. Quilboar line that has been living next to some Well of Eternity type power source seems almost certain to me.
@@sdnw1840
It happened with the dark trolls, and it sort of happened with the Tauren.
So it happening to the Quillboar doesn’t seem too farfetched.
@@beastmaster0934 Yeah but not, the quills looks more like a common trait. (They are literally half bats as well) Harronir are basically dark night elves cousins who became pig-batmen.
If they has to really create evolved quillboars, they would have looked more like dwarves, probably. The best example of reused skelettons are probably Vulpera being technically Goblin allied race. Even if their personality remind a bit Goblins too, their model is so reworked that no one would ever think about a link between the two races. Just like they could resuse their brand new (and especially expensive) Kul Tiran models for a bunch of mobs, like Rexxar.
I'm always excited for new playable races but I kinda just wish it was standard with every xpac to just add a bunch more options to existing races. Blizz could do well to spend an expansion adding more body types/postures (like with the Dracthyr and Orcs respectively), tattoos, markings, hairstyles, skin colors, eye colors, faces, piercings, tusks, height slider, etc. Like I know they have been adding stuff here and there, I'm just saying I wish it was kind of a standard going forward to add a good chunk of customization options with every new expansion. Especially if they're not going to give us any kind of sliders (which makes sense because I'm sure this would be an enormous undertaking considering how diverse the WoW races are. Most modern MMOs with sliders basically have one model/skeleton to worry about across all races (E.g. Elder Scrolls Online, SWTOR, etc...), for instance. So I get it. It's the tradeoff of having so many vastly different models/animations between all the races.
This video has reminded me how much I would have loved Sethrak, Hozen and Jinyu allied races
Don't be an ooker dooker, mate.
You don't understand my intense need. Let's think about the missing link. Immerse ourselves in the proto-elves. Delve into the Trelve. And while we're considering the moon-touched troffspring, let's give the original trolls the peach fuzz fur texture they lorefully deserve.
The problem with most races is that you aren’t really picking a race as much as you are picking a silhouette. Because when your race is literally covered with armor, you pretty much only see short, stocky, skinny, wide, or somewhere in between.
depends on your xmog...
@@TheNewOption I mean yeah you could go minimalist but I feel like on most races it just looks mediocre. Unless your wearing a slutmog on a chick. I feel like when they updated the visuals on the races with the different Hi-Rez models They could have done a little bit more. like the orcs in the original cinematics still look way beefier than what we actually got even in the cinematics for WoD the orcs looked really good. I love the model for Rexxar and the armor he wears really shows off his character.
You're right, I can't tell the difference between gnomes and taurens when they have their armour on. Or humans and husky humans (Kul tirans). Should catch up to the other MMOs, like ESO with... humans. and humans. and orcs that look like humans. and, to be fair, lizard and cat people which are the only races that are visually noticeable. Or FF14, with humans... and tall humans. And short humans. And shorter humans. And literal children, the only visually distinct race.
@@SupachargedGaming There's the Hrothgar that are like, hunchbacked humans...
@@SupachargedGaming ... Read again, you're literally saying the same thing as him. WoW is very good at having various silhouettes, but when it comes to having allied races that reuse previous model rigs, some people (who are clearly not RP players) just find it pointless. (If you play a tauren, for the love of An'she please get naked)
I truly would LOVE the harronir as a playable race. They look absolutely fantastic!
Me too, they look more intresstring. Really I wish they are playable race!
Me as a feral main casually chilling:
...and then I catch a random stray in this video.
I still believe that a Nerubian humanoid race will really be perfect, something for different that can give more flavor to races, and its a perfect fit for the expansion.
I agree. We don't need more elves or holy zombies.
Heck we had playable Nerubians as far back as WC3.. Same w/ Pandaren. Blizz plz..
The airship "race" is for the customizable mount from the delves.
Kalecgos' visage is a half-elf and has pointy ears.
While true, his model is unique, unlike Arator who uses a BE model.
Maybe arator will have a new model, a halfelve model, and the veresa's son too, they should be in the game btw, I'm not convinced about the harronir
"The very solid evidence we have to back it up."
I feel like I've heard this story before. You know, when Tali was obsessed with the tinker class being a thing. Or playable tuskar.
One does not simply bring up playable Tuskar...
That's the sad part of speculating: sometimes it's wrong
Or the Dark Rangers?
:o
*sniffle* But Tinker *should* be a class.
- Me, A gnome enjoyer.
I just want to play Naga and Kurenai “broken” Draenei
And dwarf beards on Kultirians would look pretty rad
Blizz: Look guys, more Dwarves!!
Players: yay.....
Blizz: but wait, there's more! More elves, but also, part Troll!!!
Players: **Looking longingly at Tuskar** cooool....
tuskar arent that great. i do not see their appeal.
Still waiting for Taunka 😥
Sethrakk, Ethereals, Botani, and Quilbor for gigs. Seriously tho, Sethrakk and Ethereals all the way
7:16 Anakin be like: "And not just the men. But the women... and the children, too."
I really hope ALL of these become playable! That would be awesome! I am all for more playable races no matter what!
Just a note, the reason Forsaken are pained by the Light is that they are powered by Shadow magic. Lightforged undead would possibly not be in be in pain because of the differing animating force, and could possibly find a way to either combine the opposed elements ala Discipline, or replace the magic that sustains them.
They would in turn struggle with Void spec tho.
Shadow being Death in that context BTW. With Shadowlands we returned to the right terms to separate it from Void (WoD with BC references mixed up so much things, it doesn't make sense as a whole anyway)
Cosmic forces are indeed meant to encounter with each other. We see it all the time, like demons and titans using other cosmic powers. (In chaotic and ordered manner) As long as they're not direct opposite, which are yet two sides of the same coin (or magnet).
1st - I am sooooo hyped for the Arathi - I have known about them for well... about 18 minutes now, and I am deeply emphatically in love with their look. Ditto on the Harrodin who look just... wow. Just wow. I know it's not likely but I'd especially love it if we could have like, the small elf ears on regular elf models too... WoW floppy long elf ears are... idk. A bit much. Even the short ones are pretty massive. YMMV of course and that's valid.
2nd - Lightforged Undead and Paladins - Honestly I've always thought an undead paladin makes total sense in a sort of self-flagellation way. Like, self loathing undead who will embrace the pain because it is 'just punishment for their abominable existence' (something they would say not something I'd think as a player). It just feels like a thing that would/should exist tbh?
That said I'm totally down for Lightforged Undead, just because they seem like a weird and neat concept, and I'm always happy with things getting Weird.
Undead Paladins are exceptionally rare (Sir Zeliek, Leonid Barthalomew) and although they've been around since Vanilla, they haven't been implemented as a class combo for a reason: it would take the exceptionality out of such character and the world would be soon filled with Undead Paladins.
Undead Holy priests are as exceptional as paladins lore-wise (Alonsus Faol is the only known character), but game-play reasons allowed them to exist, as it make sense to have Undead Shadow Priests.
Lightforge Undead are Danuser's nonsense, and I'm happy they kicked him out: the whole Primus' (what the hell does the Primus knows about Light) answer to Calia make no sense.
I don't agree if the ears. Big long ears, and eyebrows, are especially what makes Warcraft elves so special and epic, and less basic humans, compared to other fantaisies which all look the same.
I find those half elves especially light but let's say they're not 50% elves and the original population obviously had more humans in it. (just like their culture shows)
I agree on undead paladins, their uniqueness should be preserved but like any other race, they're just priest-warriors in gameplay (it's just that simple, that's something really important to remind about any Vanilla classes (and DK...). There is no consensus and everything HAS TO shift culturally beyond the dumb gameplay)
Lightforge undeads are a very good idea and no one knows who found it, they're probably several people and very intelligent and cunning.
10:26 I believe the terms to use that don't imply a hierarchy like "evolved into" are "more/less derived." Night elves are a more derived form of trolls. It notes the changes and that they share a common ancestor without the implication that one is better than the other.
No he is correct. Things mutate constantly. Evolving is just mutations over a long period of time. The reason people hear "evolved from" and assume superiority is due to darwinists and other unsavory groups hijacking Darwin's science as rhetoric for genocide and racial superiority.
In reality there is nothing to suggest that previous species are inferior. They suited their climate better than their descendants would suit that climate. They adapted to the climate they suited best at the time. If they didn't, they'd die due to natural selection. That's all it means.
That means any species that is currently alive has spent billions of years evolving.
this sounds a bit like relativism.
Derived implies something is taken or obtained from the source.
Evolution is still the correct term because Evolution doesn't necessarily imply improvement. It implies adaptation or change for one reason or another.
Dark Trolls evolved into Night Elves, and Trolls are still the far superior race.
Natural evolution has never been about getting strictly better without context given. That's Pokémon.
For example : "Oh my... the situation has evolved." Could certainly mean the same as "Oh shit there's just been a mass shoting in this hostage situation!"
I unironically applaud Blizzard on their decision to give all human and elf variants the half elven customization options, as opposed to making a new actual race they'd have to design. It's the best option for resolving half elves tbh. I love Arator's model in Legion, but he's gonna get at least a minor update for Midnight, guaranteed, but likely a fully new model that has the face of a human, but the pointed ears of an elf.
And I firmly believe that that "Airship" tag along with the Earthen and Harronir refers to a (preferably mobile) aerial player housing. Because it doesn't have to exist anywhere specifically in the world. You could theoretically assign it to anywhere in TWW zones, or maybe just an airdock in Hallowfall (more realistically). That way they can experiment with player housing again. Everyone having their own personal airship would be WILDLY COOL!
Player housing. xD
The Airship is just coded as a NPC like any custom mounts since Dragonflight. It's the Gyrocopter presented in BlizzCon.
@@Aztonio We're still in Alpha. Don't worry about what you think it is now. That can easily be changed, or hidden that way for a surprise reveal. Blizzard does that all the time.
@@monkeysk8er33
The Airship literally looks like the single-seat Flying Machine presented in BlizzCon.
@@Aztonio I think you mean the customizable drill mount. That's not an airship, bruh. That's a mount you get from Delves.
can't wait to meet the other 10 fucking Lothars that will inevitably show up in the Arathi as a family name
Well, yeah, she probably has a family. I don't know if they're fucking, but they indeed had a daughter, and parents.
Sure it'll be really convincing and super well written.
Ever since I heart about pointy ears for human (and round ears for elves), I've been obsessed by mixed races. Especially with the future Midnight expansion, I wonder how Quel'thalas viewed interbreeding. I can clearly imagine how they might've looked down on elves who married human. Would half-elves and half-human be driven away during a big tragedy like the destruction of the sunwell?
From what I remember lorewise, half elves were super rare because elves tended to be really full of themselves. Just look at Elisande's snark at Veressa over her children. I would think any half elves would be seen as a disappointment over missed possibility that they could've been full elves.
@@MSinistrari @MSinistrari Imagine being the child of a human and elf during Arthas' campaign.
Imagine getting driven away as in times of hardship, the "other" can't be taken care of.
Imagine having to cross the destroyed northern kingdoms and Khaz Modan just to reach the (then) last human bastion of Stormwind.
Imagine growing up an hearing that the elves that drove you away allied with the orcs. A group that ravaged both your old and new home. There's a good chance that you lost friends and family to the orcs.
Imagine your father dying at Theramore, by betrayal from "neutral" horde-elves.
Imagine now the horde starting a world-war, after an elf became warchief.
Of course, there is a lot of bias involved. But I can now fully understand Vereesa's hatred for blood-elves.
Elves aren't fond of mixing, they weren't happy Sylvanas was sneaking off to see Nathanos back when they were alive. Still funny how all three sisters ended up with humans.
Given the devastating of the high Elf race, they might have finally realised that they need mixed-race offspring to survive as a people.
I'm guessing the High Elf Race is off the table when Midnight comes out. Since Half Elves are going to be a thing now.
If they're bringing Half Elves, they need to make Bard the next new class.
my only nitpick is that the half elve/half trolls mouths kinda "ignore" the tusks so they just look like glued on. they really need to change the lips so that it looks like the tusks are actually coming out of the mouth
Yeah looking at some animations it really looks unfinished (on another hand we're dealing with so much clipping in the game already, we'd rather be able to chose to show our hair for example...)
And also, as trolls decending, they should have their tusks coming from their upper mouth ! Just like gnomes getting 5 toes. It's those sort of details they completely missed when making alternate models, like females...
Worth noting that there IS an undead paladin in lore: Sir Zeliek, of the Four Horsemen.
where is the tauren gnome
yeah, as we have miniature breeds for horses and dogs, why not Taurens?
There very is canonically and very probably a Worgnome somewhere in the world since Cataclysm quests in Stonetalon.
New ear customizations?!!!?! 🤯🤯🤯🫨🫨🤯🤯🤯
The fact that the Horde didn’t get vampires really saddens me
Wait til next expansion which is about Elves, that seems like a good time for that.
Not to mention the Following Expansion they'd still be relevant.
The Horde has nothing to do with vampires... The closest we have of vampires atm are blood elves
And the San'layn from WotLK, which aren't Horde or Alliance
"Vampire" isn't a race. It's an affliction.
@@SupachargedGaming Just like being a wow player isn't a race, it's an affliction. lol
Please leave vampires out of this game.
I read the harronir Shoulder Quills as Should Quills, then I started to ask Should quills WHAT?
Should quills or not?!?!
“Never getting Ogres.” That’s literally all I want. An ogre mage. It doesn’t be even have to be two headed. I’m large, hairy, smelly, and can do basic magic tricks (as long as it’s not more complicated than “got your nose!”). What can I say? Representation matters. Ogres now! ✊✊✊
you’re right and you SHOULD say it!!!
Imagine killing enemies with spells like “got your nose” and “pulling a coin out of their ear” lmaooo. GIVE IT TO ME BLIZZ
Just give us ogres already, enough with the elves. We have SO. MANY. ELVES.
I don’t get why people want Ogres?
@@whengrapespop5728 because they are funny. I don’t get why people want to play as pandas but there’s many people who do…
Thank you as always! Watching your videos brings back the urge to play. You were the ones that got me back into WoW during Legion in time for BFA. Excited to be with you on this journey as well!
I have got to say: I love your videos. So much info, insight, real wit and a bit of fun. Great job guys!
Still sad for getting robot gnomes instead of cool snake people. Warcraft can always use more fantastical races. The Harronir though hitting those nice notes.
Tali: "They are made of rock, they make their homes out of rock, and they eat rock, and I think that's a little serial killer to me."
Me, a geologist, "And I took that personally."🤣
"Hey, wanna look at my obsidian dagger?"

@@trainheartnet5657 * *pulls out a baseball bat from behind his back* * DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING HUH?!
3:47
No, the Arathi did not break away in protest against the elves' arcane magic in favor for the Light, because the humans only knew the Light from the Naaru when the entities approached them in their vision after the Troll Wars.
The noise I made when the newest Lothar appeared. SHE HAS A SHIELD FOR AN ARM??? THAT'S SO BADASS
That Tory diss was out of pocket, absolutely hilarious
I'm just curious why the Forsaken couldn't use shadow magic for their paladins. I mean, I know it was mainly because Blizzard doesn't like developing different color spells for different races, but they totally SHOULD develop different color spells for different races and give us ALL the class/race combos!
They already have shadow using paladins they are called Death knights.
@@darksensai1184 Strictly speaking they use shadowfrost etc. Shadow seems to be solely a Dark Ranger/Shadow Priest/Disc Priest thing.
@@7PlayingWithFire7 You forgot sub rogues. 🙂
If they did this, I'd love to see void paladins for void elves.
@@Kiobao that would make somethig different from a paladin, a Paladin wields the light. You can keep the concept, create a new class and call it "Void Knights" "Dark Zealots" "Obscure Vindicators".
is the airship not just in there are the delves mount? it would make some sense to have it in an area with a race since they both have alot of customizations>?
There is already Undead Paladins in Lore. 1 being Bartholemew in Lights Hope Chapel. How has that location been out for so long and peoole not see him.
Last time I was this early I got told “oh is that it” 😢
Oh joy, yet another Elf race. It reminds me of when the meme of "Zul'Again" was making the rounds when every other raid was a troll raid.
The worst thing is they have so many pre-existing races they could've picked from that people have begged for for actual years...
But, yeah, more elves I guess.
@@jackerez3537 i actually dont mind that. elves/trolls are the main and oldest natural azeroth race. and havin so many variations makes alotta sense. honestly these new dwarves feel more shoehorned in than anything else.
@@froggyslice6943 Especially because those new dwarves has NOTHING new for them. "yeah uh... but they eat rocks ! [butstilldrinkbeerdonotworry]" They're not "living underground like dark iron" they're literally a straight copy from every single aspects of all three dwarf clans (even the fact they're divided in three themselves), especially Wildhammers who were underrepresented until now. (they're supposed to be tall dwarves too)
At least they're dwarves with griffons who didn't get robbed by humans, like the other half of their culture during the entire WoW ! The sole existence of Vrykul is basically spitting on dwarves vikings themes, and their researches for their origins "hey our dear creators all look like humans! We're so happy!" At least unlike Thorim and co, Khaz Goroth himself kinda looked like a dwarf.
@12:00 I mean the biggest giveaway for the vulpera was honestly more that they shared the same skeleton model as the goblins.
Yeah, in that sense they're the best allied race ever. Because they're an actual brand new full new race without the cost of a new race. (The reverse of Kul Tiran who costed more than ALL allied race reunited)
what song is playing during the forsaken light part? p cool track (the part where you talk about how they can use the light)
1:45 RIP the fantasy of RPing as two-headed ogre warlock inspired by Cho'Gall Although let's be honest only us rare few remaining long-time fans from as far back as the WC2 days would even remember the original Cho'Gall as his brief appearance in Cata was overshadowed by Deathwing existing. Not to mention that IIRC, even the alternate Draneor version didn't leave much of an impact.
Important thing to remind : Cho'gall is an exception. And yes his name is written like that, even in Heroes of the Storm which also use Cho and Gall for fun gameplay. He's ONE person, but completely crazy and talking to himself. Usual two-headed ogres characters weren't actually divided with their own self, it's a single spirit with twice the brain.
Tuskarr in Last Titan confirmed
Don't do that.
Don't give me hope.
@@mattb896 Well, yeah of course we're gonna see them. They even remade all their assets in Dragonflight for free, because why being original?
let me save you at least 8 minutes, they added pointy ears to wow
To be fair, your made of carbon, you live in buildings maid of carbon, you make your furniture out of carbon, and also you eat carbon. Time to put Taliesin on the serial killer list.
I am ready for our new Harronir overlords
GIVE EM TO US BLIZZ, DO IT
10:16 Quilen are pandarian lion-dogs (even though the name is oddly close to Qilin, Chinese draconic unicorns which the Vorquin seem to be based on). I think you mean Quillboar?
Yeah, I think he meant Quillboar.
The Horrinir do look cool as hell.
There’s a theory that the Horrinir are evolved Quillboar.
Which is rather odd.
One day the Murlocs will have their day in glory and be counted among the playable races as well as one of Azeroths mighiest champions.
the outro about patrons makes me wonder whether making a new baby was a sub/patron count goal for t&e
Absolutely digging the outer wilds playlist in the background. Almost made me shed a tear. Almost. Excuse me i got something in both my eyes.
Someone is definitely cutting onions in here 😢
was surching for this comment. Why is it raining suddenly ?
Oh, so that's why so people are asking for the music in comments.
lmao @ 16:55 mark. Why the feral hate!?!?
i want blizz to crunch the races, like combine LF draenei and draenei and all the dwarves, the orcs, the new toon select is so big
It is good to see Evitel looking healthy and strong! All the best to you dear.
Tali might be a bit down on the Earthen, but I think they Rock! 😉
They should remake the way allied race are displayed on the creation screen, it should be groups like, Dwarfs, Trolls, Humans, Elfs, and inside of those the option to chose the kind of human, elf, dwarf... you are
yes, this actually sounds like Metzen in back in charge of the lore
i dont play as much as i used too these days, but your videos always kindle a flame to go back haha
"airship" in the context of character customisation likely refers to the customisable delve mount
6:26 fastest I've ever seen people outing themselves as idiots
Considering there's zero explanation as of now, they have every right to wonder wtf is going on.
Funny there are pink and blue NEs and different colors of other races and no one fusses, but a black human and these racists just can’t help themselves 😂
I still really like the Sethrak. I think they’d make an interesting non-mammal but also a titanforged descendant species for the Alliance.
I can't wait to have yet another Elf race to play...
Just give me Ogres! Goddamnit Blizz! Such an easy win!
i like ogres but they're ugly and no one will roll them except me.
Ogres would be cool but I want Murlocs.
Ogres would be so cool indeed.
I want Spock ears for my bloodelves/voidelves.
This yes, why give round ears, when the humans and lil titans are gonna get proper half elf ears
Yeah, that just sounds weird to direcly have human ears on elves, just like getting FULL elven ears on human. That's a nonsense... But I didn't get to see the model yet. I find their ears very very small too (even Orcs looks more elven in that regard). But well, they're probably not half 50% elves, and more like a greater population of human merged with a few elves, but we'll take these customs anyway, thanks Blizzard.
"Airship" is the new Delves mount.
It's coded like a playable/NPC race, just like new Algarian Griffon (funnily, these two new names in "A" are the one showing at the beginning of the list) As well as Dragonflight dragons, because it was just their way to create customs. (they don't even rename the slots like hair/legs/cloak/boots/etc)
Airship is surely the customizable delve mount, yeah?
Please no Lightforged Undead nor Half Elf unless the Half Elf looks more than just humans with elf ears.
You mean Dracthyr Visage form without the scales ?
I love Faerin's look and I want her armor. My own tho... not hers b/c it prob gets cold underground?!?
Could we please. JUST build her an arm with the help of Mekkatorque?!
@@mossysnail6857 She explains shes much more used to using her shield arm and its just her choice to keep it that way, character flaw maybe but thats honestly a good thing for a character like her
@@Crocthunder true. she would have to get used to well, using the arm. i guess it's for the best this way.
Can someone PLEASE tell me me the name of the first music in the video? (Not the taliessen and evitel intro, the orchestral theme that I believe is from wow)
Thank you for sharing such amazing knowledge. Allows me to enjoy the lore I do know so much more ❤
"Stone Dwarves for the Horde" makes me feel like Horde was an after thought.
There's already two dwarf races and they are played by like 4% of the population.
Have been a loyal night elf enjoyer for 9 years now. And these trolls? they might convince me to play horde...
they are INSANELY cool and i wanna know more about their evolution and maybe their connection to the well of eternity, trolls and night elfs from today
I came here to comment the same thing!!
In present context, there is no way any new allied race is gonna join one facter rather than the other. ^^' (It has always felt weird anyway, even though neutral races never got much chance for the future of their lore...)
can someone please tell me what is the song in the background in the intro section of the video?
Beledar is probably the tip of Sargeras’ sword, Gorribal
I am actually pretty excited about Earthen. The models are taller than dwarves and they are higher def. The animations looks really smooth. That being said, I am never going to not be excited about the prospect of more! Please give us Broken!
If their hair were crystals i would be mildly excited
Yay, taller dwarves ! ... Just like Wildhammers. (not even pointing out the 100% of other stolen aspects, even being divided in three clans...)
Just need blue skin and human druid then my half troll/half human rp character will finally be complete after over a decade. Soooo close, yet so far.
Those elf/troll people look like an in-between form of trolls evolving into elves but with traits suited for living underground. If you think about it, when the landmass tore apart, it was bound to create cavern systems, ect and life from the surface trapped underground.
Even before the landmass got cataclysmed by the Great Sundering. The world was basically Trolls VS Aqirs all around the world. Many many things lays in the undergrounds...
Yet to see Qiraji, Mantids... and Troggs who is supposed to be an extremely strong and unkillable race !
I mean, we are getting the Arathi playable, confirmed. I mean, why do you think we are getting Humans with pointed ears and elves with rounded ears? That's definitely so we can play being Arathi, who seem to have mixed with elves. (Not that's what most people will be using those options to represent). But I don't think they'll be given full Allied Race treatment.
I am hyperventilating over how cool the harronir look. I will be switching my druid to that race if it is playable.
Lightforged undead eh. Hmmmmm. Might actually roll an undead now
do you guys know what soundtracks were used in the video? I follow the lore, but no longer play the game for years, and it's quite difficult to know which (awesome) soundtracks T&E used ✨ thank you!
As long as the half elf children of Vareesa still look like sleep paralysis demons, I'm on board.
Although I have always wanted an undead Forsaken Paladin, I did not want him to wield the light. Same as the Priest, using the light hurts and makes no sense. Now, a Paladin using Shadow, makes all the more sense. I want a Forsaken Shadow Paladin.
How in the world does a Paladin using shadow make more sense than a Forsaken using light? That’s like saying someone trying to light a forest on fire using water makes more sense than that someone simply using fire instead.
Good News Everyone! A "shadow" paladin is pretty much a dk
@@Twin512bass at the end of the day is just a plated warrior using some magic, while a Paladin wields the power of light
IMHO Sir Zeliek and Leonid Barthalomew should remain the only undead paladins.
As lore-wise Alonsus Faol is the only holy priest.
@@francescoporcari8597 I agree. An undead using the light SHOULD be a rarity. Which is why it should be reserved to named characters. Adding player characters diminish their uniqueness.
I'm okay with homogenizing everything, said no one ever....
I would like those light undead face options for the forsaken please.
I've said since wrath how cool an undead pally would be and now it might actually happen I'm screaming
I think the Earthen are much cooler for Horde players than they are for Alliance players.
I have no real reason but I just hate the whole idea forsaken paladins it just feels wrong
The people of lordaeron were the original paladins, they worshipped the light. Before tbc, many speculated that forsaken paladins were coming. Forsaken priests still use the light, it only makes sense that the undead paladins would still have their connection to the light
@@gabrielwest5361 like I said I have no real reason I don't like it, you could justify it but I think I like the idea that paladins have this like extra spirit or conviction or something that is what allows them to not just channel the light like a priest but wield it as a weapon and the idea that getting raised from the dead like that just breaks it or like the experience the forsaken had to go through just made them so jaded that they can't or don't want to anymore just feel right. They could justify it in game but I really hope they dont
Ooo with information like this I hope its not just the Earthen we get!
I just want forest trolls
