is more, Since they mentioned JRPG games, the first thing that came to mind for a Tinker caster style is that but with someone from cast with guns or rocket punch weapons.
Let’s not forget the styling they did in some WoW Vanilla skins, and some of the TBC lore and better styling to the Belfs that the night elfs now envy.
And despite it having a Chinese MoP look, blizzard took a moment to do something that JRPG stories and some anime style (not like SAO) have epic that we still see all the time.
That is why WoW never differed far from the JRPG, and let’s not forget a large majority of Bosses in BfA with a KAME-KAME-HA like Jaina or Nya’lotha bosses or Vexiona Big adds or Gul’dan first phase in Legion.
and it’s also a good reason to see a better version of the Tinker in which it is much more op, and worse in time than the DH in this pre-patch is very nerfed.
And the common use of Technology in the Warcraft Universe is very Grungy and Rough.
Lots of Checkerboard paint, and over-the-top Guns and Shredders. If anything it remains closer to the Warhammer 40k Universe in terms of its Technology.
As such, putting an eastern swing on a western class seems out of touch. When it’s clearly closer to the Adeptus mechanicus or the Orks from Warhammer.
Putting a Distinctly Eastern spin on western fantasy seems more of Final Fantasies Gimmick. Not WoW.
in fact all of Warcraft and Starcraft has reference to Warhammer 40000, do not forget the gigantic shoulder pads of the paladins and Terrans marines like Warhammer Space marines That’s why WoW and Warcraft 3 added some JRPG or anime and it seemed good to me, as well as the tinker has a better look without being only gnomes and goblins…
What’s more, you want another name, I didn’t want to use it because in Spanish it’s funnier than here.
And it is Techpriest Enginseer, you see… it’s very funny, and that’s why a keep with Tinker first…
In my mind Tinker is crude, dangerous and over the top. Just look at Rocket Barrage, it looks like it hits everything but the target. Tinker tech looks so unreliable and may just as well kill the Tinker just as easily as their target. Look at the Goblin heritage armor (totally Tinker themed), it has a shoulder rocket launcher that in reality, would most likely melt the goblin’s face off, if he/she ever used it. Haha!
I can’t think of a class that I would enjoy and laugh at, as much as I would with Tinker. Especially if the Tinker content really focused on Gnome/Goblin rivalries, where every aspect was them trying to one up each other. Who can make the better looking and faster hot rod (Tinker mount) or the more powerful mech suit. I can even picture our death being hilarious, exploding out of our mechs, upon destruction.
Oh! New Mech ability
Eject
Hitting Eject (icon looks like a big red button) will launch the Tinker way up in the air then deploying a parachute while also causing the Mech to self-destruct, causing a powerful explosion.
Because majority of the WoW playerbase wants what they want, however miniscule it might be. I support tinker because it is at least something different.
Well quite a few folks don’t like the class idea cause they prefer dark edgy classes like dark rangers or necromancers . . . So in accordance with this theme we should call em something grimdark to win them over
Something liiiiiike . . . Edgeneers or Dark Tinkerers . . . Or the Adeptus Mechanicus
Should I link the monk beta thread? Lot of feedback there, and a lot of crickets from Blizzard.
I’m not asking for constant attention, I’m saying that they already have more than enough on their plate.
Stealth ‘burning’, interdasting. One spec doesn’t make a class. And only one to two tanks can be part of a group, depending on what content you’re going into. Nothing else to say to you, gave my piece.
Don’t even talk to me. I’m on that thread. I’ve been there since the Alpha for Shadowlands. I main monk.
I just don’t lie to myself. I don’t expect blizzard to change.
New classes don’t mean anything for balance. Balance is not blizzard’s priority and never will be.
It’s perfect.
I’ll do you one better. I’ll link YOU The monk thread.
4th post from the top.
I’m there.
