Because when other games release expansions, they aren't just a reskin of the same old thing.
Oh and, I'd rather not have another hero class that will dominate first 2 seasons of arena before it gets fixed, and gets reduced to a CC/interrupt bot after it gets fixed.
I was just trying to help the fanboys with their excuse of why no hero class with this one. In theory its not really an xpac just a reskinning, but have it your way. Yeah they lied about hero class just like houseing.
So I challenge you, go find a link where blizzard promises 1 hero class every expansion. Go on now, it shouldn't be hard to find should it?
Put your money where your mouth is, because your baseless bellyaching is getting real stale.

In that article it mentions nethera stating one per expansion. The link to the source is at the bottom of the article. When you follow that link however, the topic has been convienently deleted. I used to spend more time on the WoW forums than in game and remember this topic fairly vividly. Blizzard, DID state one per expansion. Honestly , I could care less as I will never log into WoW again, so what would I gain by lying?
Do you have a link to share with the group, or are you just talking out of your ass? I smell a troll...
umm...see 1 post before yours
Also , as a long time forum pvp'er over there at blizzland, I can assure you, this isn't the only topic where they mispoke, then erased the thread after the fact. Another example that pops to mind is when they unequivicably stated "THERE WILL BE NO HONOR WIPE WITH WOTLK"...........
there was, and that post disappeared too. I can think of more if you like.
Cat isn't a reskinning by any means. They're making it so you can level a new character 1-60 so that you don't have to do the same old boring quests. Well actually it's like 10ish-60 since the lowest changed zones are Barrens and Darkshore. I don't think they need a new class, however I would love to see one, since I've leveled every class available now to 80 hehe. I might make another character when Cat comes out just to go through the changed storyline. Another thing I heard (not from Blizzard) was that they're trying to do away with the whole "This is primarily an Alliance zone, this is primarily a Horde zone" concept. Making quests available to both factions in the redone zones. So you could be Horde and run upto Darkshore if you want. You could be Alliance and do quests in the Barrens other than Ratchet.

Ty severity.
Also, I didn't start this topic to troll. I'm just really dissapointed with the lack of NEW content cataclysm is bringing.
I think you fanbois need to stop with the "ignorance is bliss" crap tho. Blizzard said they were going to release a new hero class with each expansion following wrath.The reason they released the DK was due to lack of tank classes. The next expansion was supposidly going to introduce some type of healer heroic class, but instead we get "but gnomes can be priests now".
go get laid. Cataclysm IS just a re-skinning. OH except for 80-85
@ Daffi. There it is, google is your friend. So now you can explain how your boys at Blizz were misquoted or some such horseshit.
Another class would just cause them more hassle.
Better to stick to the same thing they already have and add some new volcanos and lava streams.... easy, and doesnt need balance math
I remember blizz stating that..
But when they asked why there isn't a hero class in the cataclysm exp, they answered that they would have too many balancing issues like they had with the dk, and it's still not balanced.
So they won't bring out another hero class until everything is nicely balanced.

Its a fuucking wiki. so where does blizzard say it then? Find me the link besides ur pathetic wiki. Oh yeah thats right u cant find it.

It sure is isn't it?

Even if Blizzard did say 1 hero class per expansion they have come to their senses and realised that it is a bad idea.
Constantly throwing new classes at an MMO is just plain stupid. It ruins class balance and segements the class pool further.
This is one of the bad things about Blizzard: they are too open with their plans. They say something, then the community either takes it as a set in stone promise or blows it way out of proportion. This is why the other companies never talk to the community.
Its a good thing when an MMO company understands when something wont work and would cause more harm to the game than good over the long term.
Also, since this topic is about half remembering something Blizzard said as some time lets throw another out there. Blizzard's original plan for Hero classes was an extension of the current existing classes. However, over time as the game progressed they implemented nearly all of the ideas they had for Hero classes through class mechanic changes, talent changes and TBC. Since their original plan for Hero classes was rendered obsolete they abandoned it.

Nethaera posted on the Wrath of the Lich King forums that the current plans are one new hero class per expansion pack. That post has conveniently been removed.
I play aDK as an alt and wtf is unblanced about it? i can tank as good as any other tank and dps as good as any other dps class? Ive tanked in Toc 25 man ulduar etc with him np, and dps with him. any other tank class is as good as him if not better and the same with dps, so wtf is unblanced about adk? Thats right there is nothing unlablanced. Except each whining bitch of theri class whining about how they are underpowered or OP. IF you knwo how to play ur class u arnt unblanced at all simple as that. But alot of peopel on this site fail at anything except whing like bitches, thats why they jump from mmo to mmo.
I'm sorry, have I missed something?
Is Cataclysm out yet? Who's to say they don't have more info/features about it left to reveal?
Come on guys.....you're crying about something that hasn't *not* happened yet. If it comes out and there isn't one, then fine. But anything can happen between now and then.
Good lord...
he says CURENT THINKING, and we would like to in 2007.. he didnt promise anything, or can u not comprehend what he said?
Its like me saying Id like to do that, but i have other things to do. As he mentions. Or cna u simply not comprehend what he is saying?
Blizzard is already incapable of balancing it's 9 10 classes that is has, why would you want to throw more into the fray? Blizzard shouldn't worry about adding new classes until they can learn to balance the ones they have, and I don't think they ever will.
Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.
I do agree that Blizzard is extremely bad at balancing classes.
But honestly now, what class would they ad? From where i see it the game already covers probably all play types
There was no hero class introduced in BC.

One man, a small pile of money, and the screwball idea of a DIY Indie MMORPG? Yep, that's him. ~sigh~

I was talking about PvP, Blizzard has said that there are still a lot of balancing issues.. I could find another link like I found this blue.mmo-champion.com/16/1778028862-1-hero-class-every-expansion.html
When the DK just came out they were overpowered, ask anyone who was playing then..
And they r still strong, icy chains -> dead grip and bye bye kiting ranged classes..
nom nom nom
Because they never said anything about hero classes until they announced WOTLK. kk?
nom nom nom
No it came with WOTLK and unlike some here i remember what was said when the xpac released. But then im not blinded by the smoke and mirrors.
Did the Original Poster mention anything about promising? Did I?
They said it back then, and now they changed their mind, you asked for a link I gave you one.
nom nom nom
Did you all forget that Blizzard said that every class would have a hero class at release then they did not make it in launch?
Sooner or Later
And where the hell are the NEW DANCES? I have a wotlk presentation video that promised me new dances....
I WANT MY NEW DANCES
Do you still not understand the difference of "We would like to" and , " WE promise a new class every expansion"?
or is it to hard for you?.
