Every race every class LIMITED

but it wouldn’t be the first system where you need to figure out how two things are related but not necessarily shouldn’t be

I haven’t always liked the idea of every race for every class. Then I realized how it is in D&D, and it seems like it should be in this game. I think Blizzard wanted to shoe-horn us into certain characters with certain backstories, but it sounds like they’re changing the starting area to be a little more general in SL?

If so, then allowing all races and classes will give players more agency of what they’re playing.

Everything except hero classes should be restricted. DHs and DKs should only be made more available when a lore justification can be made (like they just did with DK). Otherwise it just ruins the significance of the lore behind those classes.

I am arguing for restriction in that it’s one Character per account. I don’t like the idea of them being unlimited.

In terms of it being unintuitive I think it’s used in many other games. It makes achievement points matter. I think it’s a good system. I don’t like pathfinder either.

23

How do you justify to a new player why you can only make one of those characters though?

24

It’s a goal.

dreams of a Tauren Mage

The silent beef.

That’s not good of enough a justification for Blizzard to bind it to having ONLY one character, after getting 15k achievement points. You’d have to literally farm achieve points for something that has no relation to it.

It sounds worse than grinding rep to get ARs, which at least directly correlates to that race you’re going to be unlocking.

29

Well the idea is to make it possible to have these combos but not to have them everywhere.

Its a compromise for those that want to keep it the way it is and others who want to move forward.

Make it 10k achievements then? Just spit balling here.

It’s odd how no one ever has suggestions themselves and new ideas just get shot down here without much thought.

Honestly, I don’t think it’d happen either way with the way blizzard is running as of late. I’d rather just like, slowly open up one or two classes per race at a time, maybe have a different class be acceptable to all races (like warrior is). Maybe hunter…?

Nevertheless, I know it has to appeal to both parties, new players and old, so maybe start with a few before going ham, honestly. I wouldn’t touch dh though, given that it’s a hero class, it wouldn’t make sense lore-wise.

31

I did forget to say. No dh.

I have some ideas for that but I think their representation is too much atm to justify it (in addition to lore hurdles).

32

As much as a gnome is strong enough to be a warrior.

That said, this would allow for Troll Demon hunters…tempting, very tempting.
Wait, Pandas or gnomes DH as well…nevermind then.

33

I’m gonna have to edit DH out of the possibilities.

“Y’know, tauren are born hunters. You ever see a tauren catch a salmon out of a stream? It really is quite exciting. You ever see a tauren stalk a python? 'Course you haven’t. That’s because tauren are so adept at blending in with their surroundings.”
