Yeah I have a class so why is my deathknight getting a temporary addon(not a subclass) that I didn’t choose 10 years ago? I hope you aren’t equating covenants to classes because that is outright silly sir. Oh no I’m not a deathknight anymore I’m a venthyr now just like I always wanted back in wrath when venthyr were totally a thing. I always wanted my death knight to be able to turn into a fox and have a sparkly death and decay this defines my gameplay!
I already picked my class for gameplay I shouldn’t need to do it again for some “meaningful choice” that will barely last two years anyhow.
Also oh please spare me with the random homogenization is bad because its bad argument. Players should have access to classes that are desirable, blizzard balance took away far more then anything else, also can I get a list of these copy pasted abilties? How is it any different from your golden age of mage cast blue bolt or red bolt and warlock cast purple bolt, and hunter press rotation button.
Gold was fine in Vanilla and yeah, you apparently sucked at making it. I’m not sure how gold, which can be earned in various ways and in various amounts relates to a time gated grind that hits everyone on an equal level.
so far, like, there’s a chance they add something, a " meaningful choice " doesn’t need to impact the game completely or change the way the story is told
a meaningful choice should be meaningful for you and your gameplay, not the entire story of the game
exactly my point? what do you have from wrath that you still use to this day that isn’t a mount or a pet?
but… this has happened all the time, idk why are people trying to tie this with " new design philosophy " this is an mmo and it’s constantly changing
I lost the ability to use " hysteria " and to dps as a blood death knight
and that was back when cata launched
and it isn’t just " reasons " either the dev team felt it didn’t fit the death knight theme anymore, or they decided it was impossible to balance it moving forward, and that people would stack death knights just to mark rogues and hunters with hysteria
even if it was fitting for the blood dk theme
sure it sucks but it’s the nature of the game
eeh but Ion says they are like classes >_>. Argue with people with opinions whatevers, but I would think that if the developer says they are “classes” then so be it. It’s like telling Eminem that rap isn’t a song and doesn’t belong in the “music” section.
Bah this guy went from working for us in the #pulltheripcord thread to us working for him in his thread. We should really take this back to the original, I want the power of my voice there…not working for him.
Do you read what you are going to type over in your head first? How is it incorrect when you just agreed with me? You know, the “left off” part. Kind of hard to have a left off part if you were never with a covenant to begin with.
Form and function don’t match. Rather where is your “homogenization is bad because its bad” in regards to covenants giving every class mobility and defensive cds? One button that can be a talent, another glorified character modifier like the netherlight crucible or artifact weapons, and a random utility button does not equate to a class. Thats like saying I’m a blood of the enemy dk and thats a subclass now.
All we can do at this point is pray that our chosen class/spec happens to have the stars align so that one covenant/soulbind is best for raiding, M+, and PvP.
It’ll suck for those that don’t like the aesthetics, but at least they’ll be able to play the game with the knowledge that they aren’t being an active detriment to their team.
