The Topic of Tinkers for 10.0

You can still do the classic death knight starting zone if you really want, you know.

Yes I know. You missed my point.

[Liianas-khaz-modan]

Your point being that Blizzard will simply make whatever change they deem is necessary to promote their new fun ideas?

I couldn’t possibly agree more.

In fact I think they’ll simply add new classes and make whatever changes are needed to get them to fit.

@Liianas-khaz-modan

You pretend that if they stopped adding classes, Class design would suddenly get better.
But BFA didn’t add a new class, and it’s class design was miserable.

I’d go a step further and say that the expansions that add classes have been the best received not only because getting a new class is fun, but because adding a new class forces development to place extra focus on class development. And when development starts with a focus on classes it tends to end in the game being more enjoyable.

Honestly? Yeah. Blizzard usually stops and thinks “Well we can’t just add a new class, we have to make sure other classes feel loved too”

And, to be honest, we got some messes out of that, The previous design of Shadow Priest came out of that design philosophy. But I wouldn’t put my nose up and pretend the game was worse as a whole.

Wrath, Legion, and MoP are heralded as the best expansions in the game.

Though I do have a soft spot for the Goblin and Gnome content in BFA. Some of my favorite so far.

No new classes or specs until Blizzard shows they can handle the ones they already have, please.

When have they ever? This has been an issue since Vanilla.

Vanilla should’ve never been made.
The Hero Units in Warcraft 3 aren’t balanced at all.
If Blizzard can’t balance the Units in Warcraft 3, How could they ever handle an MMO?

You pick a Human Archmage, and I’ll pick a Goblin Tinker. We’ll tower rush eachother.

So like Bfa, but better - with Tinkers.

I like it.

There are a LOT of complaints people had with BFA, but I don’t think anyone was upset that it was focused on places of Warcraft history. Zandalar, Kul’tiras, Nazjatar.

Also yes. The game only has 1 Physical ranged class, it could absolutely use another.
Plus more tanks and healers.
