I don't know why I'm using Hot Topic or why Hobby Lobby even came up. I don't even like that place. Well, anyway, so that's my only thought on that. I otherwise have had nothing but positive experiences, and I have loved this expansion so far. I've loved the story. I've loved everything about it. I do think there is a missed opportunity I want to bring out on top here.

I haven't talked about this anywhere else. They missed an opportunity with the earthen. Every expansion, it's either like new race, new class, sometimes a combination of the two, pandarens and monks, for example. Most of the time, though, it's like, well, here's your demon hunter and good news, bad news, only night elves and blood elves can be that thing.

In the case of the last expansion, you got your dragon folks and they got to be a new class. That was a lot like pandaria. But it's usually every other, right? It's like new races, new class, new race, new class. But with sub races and everything else, I feel like they've gotten a little more fluid with it. Here's the missed opportunity. This game introduced the earthen.

So the horde finally have a version of dwarves. And for the most part, I think they're well received. I think Alliance people are just kind of like, oh, more dwarves, huh? Big deal. But for us, it's like, oh, no, man, freaking dwarf. This is great. We don't have these. But they missed an opportunity. The lore goes so deep and so awesome on how these are like, literally, they're called earthen.

They live mostly underground and they dig and mine and are constantly... Doing things that evoke earth and mud and stone and all that. Yeah, yeah. And you don't release this expansion with a Thurgis class, some kind of earth magic class. Now, I know all you shaman out there going... What about us? We have Earth things. I'm not saying you're one little aspect.

I'm saying something that is a focused Thurgist. It's like the earthquakes. And again, I know there's some of that with Shaman. But everything has to do with rock and stone. Yeah. What were they thinking? I mean, I know that you can only do so much for expansion. You got a lot of new systems this time. But I am literally bummed. that that wasn't a thing because I would be leveling one right now.

It would be amazing.

It would be amazing.

Yeah, even just a secondary, like two classes. Do like you did with Demon Hunters. We don't need maybe three. So give me a tank spec, which makes sense for a big earthy dude.

yeah or uh that or maybe dps but maybe even some kind of healing thing maybe it's more utilitarian like providing instead of heels or providing stone shields that well like i said the rune carving right you're like you put you plop runes on the ground that people can stand in and and do stuff and great idea it's a great idea what would they think you know what i bet if we could ask the right people they'd say oh well this was on the whiteboard we just didn't get to it or something

Yeah. I agree. All right, well, let's get down into the dirt where these guys would go if there was such a class, and that is the newest system in the game, the Delves. Overall, I think Delves are really great, but I did not have that impression at first. My first impression was, oh, well, these are going to get boring quick because I don't see a lot of variation in here.
