So it’s been a few weeks since alpha launch. Ive been sitting around checking daily for changes. I see mages got multiple reworks to the talent trees and hero specs. Warlocks got full rework for talent trees and interesting hero specs. Rogues, warriors, demon hunters, druids, priests, paladins, evokers, monks, all got changes to talents, damage profiles or new connections to smooth out the trees. Shamans got interesting hero specs… But what happened to hunters?
There has been numerocal changes to hero talents and a Meme change to survival. What is going on? Why has there not been a peep from the community manager or from anyone regarding hunters at all? A plethora of posts from the community with changes they’d love to see, things that need to be fixed and adjusted… And yet not a word back from the mountain of feedback?
If you are working on something, let people know. If your not, remove who ever is assigned to hunter development and put someone who is gonna have the passion to work on it. This is embarrassing on the company as a whole that during ALPHA nothing is being done to address issues.
And on that note, why was it prudent to post ONE change in alpha notes… About a nerf to a spec that has been placed in a dark crawl space after being hacked apart?
Just wondering.

Well, Alpha is officially over too. There wont be anymore alpha builds, next week (June 5th) we will be in Beta. Which means big class changes are over.
If we’re hoping for a Hunter build, it’ll likely be a 11.0.X or 11.X patch next year.

At this point, all I can think of is a MASSIVE, GIGANTIC TALENT REWORK coming to all three specs and base class. However, Blizzard’s lack of communication/ interest makes it hard to know what will happen in the future, especially since Alpha is around the corner. It feels bad, really bad.

If Hunter isn’t getting the most revolutionary awesome gameplay update the game has ever seen it won’t be enough with how much in the dirt we’ve been left at this point in time.
Leaving all the players of a hugely popular class to just sit wait and rot (just like we do in content) is screwed up. I want to be wrong and surprised when they announce some insane rework that makes non-hunter players jealous but based on what we saw from hero talents they’re clueless about what to do with hunter and it’s feeling pretty doomed.
Prove us wrong blizzard… but also tell us you’re working on SOMETHING, or that you have IDEAS at least.

They already fired your bow. Good luck getting in pug M+ or raids in TWW =P Your resume is going to look awful.

Firstly. Sir. That’s a spear. Notice the pointy end. Secondly. That’s also fired. Have you tried using a nice wand, perhaps?

Well I mean it IS a Hunter Weapon ™
Yes, but so are one handed axes. Good luck using those. We’ve been asking.
Now that they’ve removed the extra range that a spear would give from a fantasy perspective, they should give us dual wielding to at least make it believable.
