After watching Obi-Wan Kenobi (I loved it, warts and all, just dont go putting it down or I may cry) I have decided I want a Jedi class in WoW.
Melee class, wears cloth, uses variants of the lightsaber. Two specs - Light and Dark. Powered by a new energy form, the Force. Moves include leaping around like a DH but involving spins and tumbles, pulling and pushing things, chucking rocks (onya Obi!), etc.
(And yes, I know there are already lightsabery weapons ingame but I want TO BE one with the Force!). And no, I dont want to go play one of the SW games, I want my cake and to eat it also!
Microsoft, when you acquire Blizzard, just cut a deal with Disney and put the class ingame. I’ll hand over my credit card for a Gnome Jedi.
Jedi are hypocrites. At least the sith are honest about what they are and make no excuses for it. They’re not perfect by any means but they’re relatable.
And how I think it is actually a good sign for WoW going forward. People say a lot of “good” things changed/added to Shadowlands because of the lawsuit, but I think they could very well be because he stepped down and devs weren’t being (as) held back anymore.
I tried playing SWTOR but it was hard to look past what I considered stiff character movement, although the scripted dialogue for quests and dialogue options were amazing. I also had to pay money to unlock the character race I would have preferred so I didn’t pursue it further.
Seems a lot like the old school elven Mage-Knights of Quel’Thalas.
Honestly though, Death Knights seem like Dark-side users / Sith lords, they wear heavy plated helms - dark magics, force choke people and pull people towards them to cut them down - striving on fear, anguish and leaching life from their foes. They just also happened to study the ways of Darth Plagueis — “He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural …” — Although, the Death Knights simply replicated a twisted failure of it - it still proved to be useful to their own machinations …
