More than just the Death Knight?

Q u o t e:
I think its stupid blizzard is only releasing one class that everyone is going to play. They should maybe think about releasing shadow hunter or demon hunter in the game. NOW that would be cool and fun.

I thought this was going to be like a "yo mama" joke thread. Now, I'm just disappointed.

Here's the skinny, the lowdown, the 411 etc on the death knight choice.

First off, it fits in with Northrend extremely well for obvious reasons.

Second off, many people tend to have this strange belief that adding a new class is simple, easy as pie, and a cakewalk all on a Sunday afternoon, but it's not. There is a lot of work that goes into it and many considerations for how it will work, how it will work with other classes, how the lore ties in, how quests and npcs also can tie in to this new class, itemization, and a whole lot more. It takes a lot of forethought, testing, and care to add something this major to the game and for each new class that is added to the game, come the concerns about not maintaining the uniqueness of each class that already exists.

I'm not saying that the possibility of more classes being added in the future isn't a possibility. We had many ideas of what class we'd add in for Wrath of the Lich King prior to settling on the death knight. There are many more possibilities for classes we'd consider in the future as well, but we aren't going to rush to add them in and risk creating a situation where other classes lose their uniqueness and their value within the game.

You may think we're being stupid, but we don't.

Q u o t e:


My main concern is that, while the DK makes a nice centerpiece for the new expansion, I wonder if other classes will receive the same in depth treatment that the DK is going to get. I do NOT want to see the SUPER DEATHKNIGHT come out with massive mechanic changes, thoughtful talents, great abilities (bordering on the overpowered), massive support for the class through gear and quests- only to see EVERY OTHER CLASS get the "ten minute" treatment that I, personally, feel that Shaman got on TBC.

That would prove disasterous if you allowed it to happen, Blizzard.

Every class is getting looked at and the death knight is being created to fit in and balance in with all of the other classes as well. While the death knight is being created to be unique, it is not being created to be more powerful than any other class.

Q u o t e:


Neth why are you trying so hard to be cool. Not your style usually.

A couple things here:

1) Neth doesn't need to try and be cool, she is cool.
2) I hope you're joking.
3) How did Neth's reply come off as "trying to look cool"
4) I have a lever with many buttons and am able to use it to shrink Orc shoulder armor again, and have it affect only you.
5) I love you!
6) I love me!!!!
