We’ll see when alpha/beta comes out. Until then, all you have now, is the word of a streamer who says he talked to the developers, who is working on an upcoming expansion that is still work in progress.
Claiming that is ‘definitely how things will happen’ is wild optimism at best.
I am willing to apologize if i turn out wrong. But what if you are wrong?
That’s how you think it works. Plans change all the time.
Do you assume the community manager is typing for fun while a lead dev will do exactly whatever he says?
For reference, the lead game designer says during WoD flying is definitely not coming back. And he end up wrong.
Except if you actually listen to maldiva’s stream, he did mentioned the developer says why a soul shard spender is needed.
So no, game design is not ‘literally that simple’. Else we won’t end up having stupid issues like the 1-button-spam-warlock in BC.
Let’s be honest to ourselves - We are simply armchair designers. We have ideas. We love our class. But we have no clue how much work needs to be done, or has been done, to the class. We might think something simple won’t take long, but in reality might take weeks to get it ‘right’.
