Please blizzard make them look like they did in classic wow, stone/ crystal beards
It will be the only thing that make them differ from basic dwarves when geared
and no one needs another race that looks exactly the same

Itās true.
I almost feel like āno allied race announcementā would be less disappointing than āyet another dwarf/elf subraceā.

Almost have to agree with thatā¦ though I guess some players on the Horde side will be glad to get the chance to play another classic fantasy race beside brutish orcs and ācuteā elves.

I am indeed confused why their hair isnāt crystal. I am not too fussed about them either way, I donāt generally play dwarves.
Its just a very lazy new race.
Its like them selling 4 new hair colors for a race as patch contentā¦.

I would be happier with a Wildhammer allied race with proper customization.
Nothing about āstone peopleā appeals to me in any way, shape or form.

Yeah, Blizzard have this really weird thing about giving us things nobody asked for, and denying us things we do actually ask for.

Considering they were ok giving us the Dracthyr, which have minimal armour t-mog options, I thought that would have been the start of other less humanoid looking races.
Personally, I would have enjoyed something along these lines:
āHey weāre not adding new races on this one, but have looked into deeper and more complete customization options for all existing races. Enjoy height, body types with muscle/fat ratios, posture options, class specific customization, voices, hairstyles, detailed face builders like separating jaw shape from brow shape and much moreā.
Oh well, at least weāre getting account wide tmog, been waiting for that since cata.

If I wanted to play a dwarf Iād play one. This second hand dwarf stuff, no thanks. Next to the cringe foxes, this is the second race Iām never gonna play.

Vulpera are awesome. Theyāre just lacking customization options.

Better yet remove this dwarf reskin and give dwarves these cosmetic options.
Then give us a unique race like Nerubians.

I get the feeling those might come later. I mean they turned humanoid so unless they want to make em playable I donāt see why they bothered to do that.
Which is what ALL of the Allied Races should have been, customizable skins, instead of Blizzard simply saying āYou get Night Elves!ā and āYou get Blood Elves!ā and writing what can only be assumed was hastily scribbled on a napkin during lunch break stories for them joining.

what nah souldefiler they clearly put a lot of though into it like when they gave the alliance discount bloodelves rather then the high elves they had been asking for for 10 years+ and was surprised that this did not stop the request 
that said i donāt think anyone wanted earthen at all youād be better of making ogres for the 000000.1 % of the horde players that would actually play them and something else for the alliance

I agree. They just look like the dwarves we have but with a different skin texture.
Honestly, there are existing allied races that are lacking in customization and would be much better to add more options to them.

So, the Horde will now have Dwarfs, classical Alliance race.
What will Alliance have? Should we expect some for example cave trolls joining both teams in later expansions?
You are planning do this Blizzard? For balance? Yes? )
