The gyrocopter is called a gnomish invention in the manual and in reforged they changed the portrait so that it’s a gnome operating it.

Welp, I stand corrected on both accounts. Thanks.

I like the Redesign, personally. Not something I can say about everything in reforged.

RIP, 2-5 years till we check back in.

It’s alright, patience is a virtue that I’m sure Tinkers will understand as most of their contraptions probably explode the first few times around. I’m just grateful we didn’t get the abomination that was leaked where Tinkers were going to be delegated to a single spec shudder

Welp… That sucks but I didn’t get necromancers in SLs so.

Same ole same ole.

I’m glad no tinkers this xpack. It would have made zero sense.

That said, we’re back on Azeroth, and a goblin/dwarf/gnome/Vulpera? themed story that brings in tinkers WOULD be the right time to bring them in for the next xpack.

looks at the Reliquery and Explorers League being forefront

Pretty sure Tinker would have worked out.

Huh? Dragons and the dragon isles are forefront. The announcement is on youtube if you missed it.

They go out of their way to say the Alliance and Horde send the Reliquery and Explorers League not militaries…

Tinkers or No, the Reliquary and Explorers League being pushed to the front (despite hostilities towards each other, and thus no different from militaries) is still a promising opportunity for an Archeology revamp! So something to cross fingers and hope for regardless.

An Archeology revamp will be something I will also make a forum post for soon enough given this opportunity, though it addresses professions at large, Archeology will be a chapter.

boy I’m glad I didn’t have to eat my words and hear a lot of “I told you so!” from the Tinker crowd. at the same time though I’m familiar with building hype and being bummed when it doesn’t happen.

Right?

Besides you should never stop asking for what you want to see if you’re really into it.

So long as your respectful, don’t poop on anyone elses trash pile and keep trucking on.

So I’mma keep asking for Tinkers, Necromancers, Bards and whatever else sounds fun for me.

I uh…

I guess I can cross Dragonsworn off the list though.

absolutely no reason it’d have to.
If they’re creative enough it can be it’s own thing without bothering either of those classes.

How did they gut the spec? Didn’t they just take an iconic demon hunter ability and put it back where it belonged? I mean they could have easily left it on warlocks as well, wouldn’t have bothered me.

Sure they could do the class skin thing, but there’s much more interesting ways to create a necromancer.

We’ve got classes that equate to priest and warrior priest so I don’t see why they couldn’t do similar with necromancer and death knight.

Have you read either of the fan concepts over on MMO-champ for necromancer? Think they were both by the same guy over a year apart. I’d have played either one, but I’ve also been suggesting ways they could do a necro and set it apart from both warlock and death knight.

I’d quite happily play a tinker class as well.
I think it could be a great addition and be pretty unique as well. There’s plenty of stuff already in game to draw inspiration from.

I’m a little bummed that we’re once again missing out on possible classes already established in WoW for one they’re basically just making up, and then highly restricting it as well.

At this point, I kinda wish they’d just make a tinker class and a necromancer class and allow us to purchase it independently from an expansion for like 15$ like they did on Diablo 3, just so we could FINALLY get them playable.

Tired of waiting year after year for things I’d like to see playable/added that already should have been done by now.

Let’s get a dev team dedicated to customization/races/classes/etc where they can be regularly added. It’s something that’d be very popular.

Years of waiting is getting old. Especially when the last two expansions were great opportunities to add both tinker and necromancer.

I don’t really care if it’s a main theme, they could easily do a side quest theme. Game could use more of them anyway. Mechagon would have been a great time, plus you have Mekkatorque as the raid boss and such.

Also something they’re not doing. Would have been a great opportunity to do so, but nope. So many missed opportunities.
