It’s so stupid they are forced to go back in time and quest in Outland for 10 levels.

DK gets 4x 12 slot bags, an exclusive boost to 55 WITH full blue gear ON TOP OF the normal wrath xp cut/nerfs. If this isn’t enough for you then go to retail. Stop acting like a spoiled brat.
“Being forced to go back in time for 10 levels is immersion breaking.”
-You’re not going back 10 levels. The DK is a new character. It goes forward 55 levels vs any other new character. You have it backwards.

They are not going back in time though. The level they start at is accurate to the levels champions were who were killed in first Naxx invasion before being converted to DKs.
It’s also the reason you start in the area you do. All part of first Naxx invasion.

No, that takes place between TBC and WotLK, not Vanilla. Remember the letter you find in the mailbox from one of the Scarlet Crusaders? It describes Naxxramas leaving the Plaguelands. Bad gameplay is the only reason we spend 10 levels in Outland as a DK.

Ok so your DK was a really noobish player first getting to EPL and dying right away, and was resurrected, make sense?

Nope. DKs should be on the first boat to Northrend, not screwing around in Outland.

If I had to guess; they’re probably gonna put DKs in the pre-patch.
The lvl 70 boost aside, you’re not even forced to roll a DK.

They literally said it in the announcement event… Good guess though
Didn’t watch. This is the first I heard this.
Go to EPL right now, speak to NPCs around LHC. You’ll find several talking about Horde/Alliance that fell during first Naxx invasion, bodies taken to Naxx, and reused to strengthen the armies of undead. That’s why DKs start out under level 60. They died pre 60. Northrend is a level 70+ zone, why would sub level 60s go to Northrend? Outlands still exists in lore alongside Northrend…DKs go there because that’s what is available for their level of skill.
With your reasoning we should not have any content before Northrend…
Starting DKs at Level 65 would make the 50-59 bracket much less stupid (although it will still probably be very very dead/nonexistent in LKClassic).
I mean, it’s a pretty quick and easy 10 levels, especially if you happen to have a pocket healer.
Would rather level 3 DKs to 70 than level a single Tauren Druid/Shaman through Mulgore.
Eh f it just let em start at 80 and use buzzwords like “keeps the game more community based and social” and “in the true spirit of classic” to a$pull it to make it happen.

Don’t forget they also get a free mount.
Back in 2008 I think it took me two days to get my dk through Outland. They’ll be available in the pre-patch. You’ll be on the first boat to Northrend anyway.
So many peasants will die that patch day.
And so many people interrogated for the latter bit.
I can see it now. You won’t be able to walk 5 feet in game not seeing someone beaten with pain sticks as they are questioned.

Level 55 to 65 is probly only a few hrs anyway; its a DK, they’re an insane class
clearly an exaggeration, but you know what i mean
Tbh 90% of DKs will be getting boosted in SPs and SLABs by gold sellers anyways. So won’t even have to play their character much until WotLK releases.
