A small treat for DKs

Community General Discussion
1

Just doing some old stuff and realized there’s several versions of some DK exclusive things never made available

Now I’m aware blizzard hates dks (removed our voice effect, never bothered making the skin options for allied races, gave our unique hair colors to everyone, never fixes the class issues that existed for years, entirely irrelevant in SL despite it being the origins of our power, etc etc)

So it would be pretty cool if we got a small little quest line where we all just sit around Archeus for a bit and be like “Man, stuff kinda sucks eh?” And one of the undead can be like “Hey I found this spare set of armor and a few weapons you can have” and bam we get stuff, it wouldn’t be super out of place considering even DHs got something special this patch

The stuff I mean is the brown versions of the starter gear that’s often seen on scourge allied DKs and Trainees during the starter zone and Naxrammas, and the Red and Purple version of the axe and sword we get at the end of the start zone

They already exist in game, plus you can add our voice effect back as a quest reward instead of just fixing the thing you removed/broke

Blood elf paladins got the blood knight set, red draenai, warlock green fire and demon customizations, hunters got the dark ranger set. Stuff is trickling in. Also we dont even have all the racial heritage armors. Almost done but not quite.

I hope you get what you want. I’m all for more transmog in the game.

But honestly, I disagree with your assessment that Blizzard hates DKs. The game has a lot of treats for DKs if you know where to look. For starters, they had an expansion all about them, and then a second expansion where they were the most important class. There are lots of DK exclusive mogs and mounts, and they have some cool exclusive interactions like when you meet a red Dragon in Kul Tiras and they are kinda mad that DKs tried to exterminate all red Dragons in Legion lol

Again, I hope you get your small treats and even some big treats as well :smiley:

Not all of them. Just the ones that were in our way, nearby or otherwise around to be murdered.

I can’t believe they removed the voice effect. It was supposed to be something you can turn on/off in audio options.

The best way to play WOW is to enjoy everything you can while it is live. After that and sometimes during, things will change, get removed, etc. We have to accept this.

Or you can play Welfare WOW aka classic realms, where its a museum that is static, but for some reason they are adding new things like SoD when these realms were created to not have anything new at all.

SL where the most DKs did was die as cannon fodder?

Assuming you don’t mean tier and class hall stuff since everyone has those, you mean the starter robes, the horse, and the gryphon?

Well, you could choose. You could either go straight to the objective, kill a few, get what you wanted and then leave to raise a red dead redragon into undeath, or you could kill them all.

And if you did kill them all, Bolvar would say something like “your heart is empty, just like me” lol

In no world would I say that them existing in shadowlands is a good thing man. Shadowlands was basically like “Oh those guys lol? They cannot even begin to grasp the powers of the necromancy and death.”

And the runeblades of different sizes and colors, and the color changing dragon.

Bruh

Everyone knows the people who got mounts that changes by specs were robbed, the other guys get to choose whatever version they want

I was hoping they’d give us this. It’s the Chinese client version of the Death Knight gryphon. It’s old pixels from around the BC era, but I like it anyway.

I honestly never looked much into the Chinese client models

But that is a pretty distinct griffon, be cool to get

I would love it if they had 2 eye customizations to fit with the themes of each spec, but you can choose which one you want. Replace the blue swirl power eyes with red swirl power, or green swirl power, for blood and unholy specializations.

I, among others, have been asking for the eye options since wrath lol

Sure would be nice to finally happen

I’m just saying, DKs have their perks and treats.

Remember when Blizzard added an arsenal item that gave you 15 DK-only weapon mogs?

That was a treat. A really nice treat. I don’t think any other class has ever gotten something like this. I mean, Paladins got one too, but theirs only had 7 weapons. Seems like Blizzard likes DKs twice as much as they like Paladins :smiley:

If Blizzard hated DKs, why would they give you this?

17

Ah yeah, legion when they did stuff for people

That was a nice time, shame about every other xpac minus wrath

Also you did remind me of another thing, they gave paladins back auras (and warrior stances) but we didn’t get our presences back

18

Now the big question is whether they will add one for Dracthyr/Pandarens.

19

Honestly, looking deep deep into dk in wow it really feels like they threw them away when demon hunter came out.

I have so so many issues with dk’s both from newer lore/story that came out in legion onward to just how they seem treated in general.

I’m gonna be 150% honest with you, I think the Class Blizz hates is Rogues, because the entire Class has half as many Glyphs as the Frost Mage’s Water Elemental spell. They have no Class Mounts outside of Legion’s, and their Legion Class Mount has a stink cloud on the backside. Also their Legion Class Hall was in the sewers. Finally, there has never been an expansion where Rogues were the main heroes.
