I don’t expect you to. My opinions are my own. I just personally was dissapointed.
I expect them to. To clarify a little. We have almost every hero unit from WC3 in game now.
We’re missing one card and we’ll have a full deck, and it’s Tinker.
Also Gnomes and Goblins dont have a class that represents them. Ask yourself, What class Is Malfurion? What Class is Thrall? What Class is Lady Liadrin? Now as, what class is Gazlowe or Mekkatorque?
Also Blizzard LOVES to copy their own work, that’s how we got Demon Hunters.
You fool. We’re ALL WHINY WOW PLAYERS! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!
So its a whiny thread about a lame class idea lol.
Shamans existed in lore prior, druids too… death knights were a creation in like WC2. Paladins existed long before Liadrin and Demon Hunters in WC3. How is it copying, when they already existed, just need to be added as a playable character.
Well if it makes you feel any better, Shaman looks dope.
No Need to be Rude, some people Think Tinker is a cool idea.
What Class do you like?
Tinkers were in WarCraft 3, my guy.
They were a Hero Unit just like Paladin or Demon Hunter.
That’s what I’m talking about it. Until Evoker every single class was inspired by WarCraft 3. Tinkers would fit the bill just fine.
Not to mention, Mechs and Missiles are pretty cool.
“I’m too old for this ****”. Wahh, I’m 53, been playing since Gamefly sucked me into the Beta for 1.0. I’d never played a Warcraft game before. So far, this game has held my attention longer than anything else in my life other than my kids and grandkids.
That said, I’ve tried to like SL. I’ve been attempting to engage with the story. I’ve tried to work through the convoluted quest chains. I’ve failed.
DF looks interesting, in a great way. It’s like they are trying to make up for some of the most hideous mistakes of the past. I think those who have stuck around this long kind of owe it to ourselves to give it a chance.
Tinkers? So… you guys want to spin Engineering into its own Class? I don’t get it, sounds boring as hell, just like Engineering.
To each their own, I guess?
I, for one, am eternally glad they did not add something like Tinkers. The whole idea of Tinkers is just repulsive to me. I have no love for Evokers either but even this “derpy-looking new race” is infinitely better than Tinkers for me.
Edit: I should clarify the race/class equivalency I’m making here. Drac’thyr = Evokers and Evokers = Drac’thyr.
I find Death Knights Repulsive, So I don’t play one. Simple.
I’d reroll Tinker so fast it would make your head spin.
We’ve seen enough Characters in Mechs & Technology wielding enemies for it to have reasonable basis for a class. Id argue we’ve seen more Mech Pilots over the course of Azeroth’s history than we have demon hunters.
*before legion of course. That obviously had a LOT of demon hunters.
Everytime someone says something against the tinker idea, you respond the same way, over and over… “YOU MAY NOT, BUT I DO!!” How about this… how do you propose the mech suit for tinker? Since OP in a mindless coward with no opinions.
Never understood the love and want for tinker… maybe its the whole steampunk esthetic, not really sure… I wonder what it is that drive them for it.
First off. That is excessively rude. You don’t need to act like that on the forums.
Secondly, There’s a lot of ideas that I’ve seen for it posted on the Forums & Also From Blizzard itself.
A common Idea is for the Mech Suit to be the exclusive focus of the Tank spec.
(A lot of people suggest a 3 spec class, Tank, Healer, Ranged DPS. Because Goblins actually can’t be any of the classes that can be all 3 roles, Tinker would be a perfect fit!)
So, A shredder suit could work as a long cast time, call it… I dunno, 6 Seconds, like summoning a Warlock pet. After which time you would hop in the Shredder, and your abilities would be replaced with Shredder only abilities. Along with a passive increase to stamina and armor. Like a Druid’s bear form. But with a channel time.
From there you could go lots of unique ways for a Tank. You could keep it simple with armor stacking mitigation abilities like Paladin or Bear, or you could do something new, like focusing on Damage reflect or Energy shields. OR you could go full Reinhardt from Overwatch and deploy a shield in front of you.
When you have a creative concept like “Using Technology” the sky really is the limit!
Well of course I respond this way.
Someone saying “I don’t like this idea” can easily be countered by saying “I do like this idea”
I invite people who dislike the idea to explain why they dislike it.
Well, for me, It’s a matter of Fantasy and fitting with WoW.
You go to zones like Gnomeregan, The Mechangon, Steamvaults, Grimrail, They all have Technology! There’s technology themed races, There’s quests focused entirely around Mechs or Shredders.
It just feels weird to not have a Tinker Class, when we have Zones and quests, and races, and mounts all perfect for a class!
Like try and think of it for a different class. Imagine having Zones like Hyjal, and Characters like Malfurion, and Quests about Druids, but not having a druid class. Wouldn’t it feel weird?
I can act how I want and if you don’t like it… there is the ignore feature. I am not catering to the sensitive.
There is nothing to that idea outside of being in a mech with 3 specs… that’s about as hollow an idea as I’ve ever seen. You tell me very little about those 3 specs… what is the unique mechanic, because you ain’t staying in a mech the whole time. How does healing work through a tinker? Does the ranged DPS use rocketry and lasers? Who developed the tinker class? Is there a self destruct button that can be used lie DVA from Overwatch with her mech as a long big damage cooldown? I am okay with the Reinhardt comparison for tanks, a shield/utility tank. I like that, but tell me more… what are your ideas.
If I’m creating the Tinker class, its two specs… Tank and DPS. Healer makes less than no-sense for Tinker. DPS would include a new weapon classes, wrenches, wrenches come in two-handed and one handed; they work like maces. With a Shredder Mech as a big damage cooldown, increases your haste and crit by 15%. You can also talent the Mech to work on it’s own, as a companion for 20-30 seconds or setup a self destruct for big damage, have the ability to leave grease spot to slow enemies and have the ability to set it ablaze. I know that’s a rough outline, but that’s more what I’m lookin for… IDEAS. Something so few people have, I’m not sure if it’s lack of creativity or just people unwilling.
I’m just saying that OP Clearly hasn’t given you the time of day, It’s unecessary to be insulting.
I assure you, I’m not sensitive. I couldn’t care less what you think of me, but I can’t speak of OP, so it’s completely unecessary when they aren’t even a part of this conversation.
Did you want an entire design Doc? I can link you to one gladly. I tried to give a short answer about the mech suit specifcally.
I personally Imagine the focus of the Ranged DPS would be Turrets and Missiles. Considering that’s what Tinkers using in WarCraft 3.
Maybe If you’re uncreative, Blizzard already made Healer Tinkers! They’re on the Island Expedition team and they heal allies with shots and deploy med bots
Personally I like the Idea of A healer like Ana from Overwatch, Healing Allies with Biotic shots and grenades that repair using Nanites.
Maybe a special heal that increases overall healing recieved from all sources. Or a swarm of auto repair nanites that give a target massive amounts of Leech?
These are all Great ideas!
Personally I want the Ranged DPS spec to use Guns, and focus on Turrets. Perhaps having an Ammo System that uses Buffs that apply to auto attacks and abilities and Also your turret shots.
Think a Paladin Seal from Vanilla or BC, But it lasts a very short time and also applies to your turrets.
Just an Idea.
But since you seem invested in the idea You should have this
This concept was dreamt up by someone with a lot of passion! and you should check it out.
For me, The Tinker Class is all about Fantasy This is ultimately a role playing game, and the Role that I want to live out is the Tinker.
You wanna be a Shaman who communes with the Elements, wielding Fire, Air, Water, and Earth?
Well I want to be a Goblin with a Shredder and a lot of mechanical know how!
If you made it this far, Thank you for being respectful and listening to my side of things. I appreciate your time. I’m sorry but I’m very tired and need to get to bed. But thank you for your time!
