Thanks alot Blizzard for ruining the game permanently. Why didn't they just go back to level 60 max and ad more content like they should have before the arena lying BS game where less than 1% like it?
Comments
Why, cuz it's true?
Let's see. I wonder which class will die out because of the Death Knight, a heavily armored 2-hand wielding tank who does awesome DPS and can summon freakin ghouls?
Bye bye warriors. We hardly had a use for you.
The game will not be full of DK's.
Many people in my guild have played the DK, and though I won't go into details about them, they are not the awe inspiring end be all of classes, and balance well within the game, that being said not a one of them are willing to give up their current class for the DK.
I will also not be playing a DK. I will make a DK and fool around with it for fun, but it will not be my main toon. Hell it wont even be my alt toon.
Sure there will be a lot of people make them to try them, but the odds that all of these drop their current main for a DK is naive.
Truth of the matter is, they just aren't that great of a class to have millions of them running around.
They are the polar opposite of a paladin. They have the armor of a paladin, but opposite skills. Paladins give life, DK's take it away. Toss in a small dabble in the warlock arts to summon a ghoul or 2 and there you have it a DK. They are not over powered and a Warrior will still whomp their ass.
Warriors are a rock, rogues are scissors, warlocks are a mushroom, everything else is paper.
DK still falls into that paper category along with paladins.
I will agree with your arena statement though.
But you do just seem like a troll sorry.
And Warriors get to weild 2-handed weapons in each hand....
I'd prefer a Warrior over a DK any time. Big two handed weapon in each hand, Mortal Strike cutting your ability to drain and heal down to nil. All the anti fear, anti stun, anti interrupts i get.
DK vs 2hand spec Warrior. Warrior is gonna win. DK is just free Honor.

Every time an MMORPG announces an upcoming new class with flashy features, you get the noobs posting that everyone will be playing that class, that another class will become obselete, that the game will be ruined blah blah blah. They're always wrong of course.
And with Blizzard?
Not
gonna
happen.
Seen it too many times, the sky will not collapse under the weight of DKism. Yes, they will be very popular at first, but tanking and even melee is a playstyle that only appeals to some gamers.
God I remember talk of how the Berserker class in EQ would be OP and make rogues obselete because they're a high DPS class.
Nothing to worry about, just another topic for trolls that rant about everything to rant about.
Still waiting for your Holy Grail MMORPG? Interesting...

I'd like to see you make a spec involving Titan Grip as well as Mortal Strike.

Its not possible? I don't play a warrior. My point was DK might be neat, but all the classes have new and old stuff to play around with thats as powerful and functional as the DK's abilities.
I personally think that on my server everyone has a max level Hunter Alt, so i fully expect to see areas flooded with BM hunters and their exotic pets.

What is the point of a elite hero class that you can only get if you get to lvl 50 on another char if its not better than the other classes? That is a pretty shitty hero lol.
That is like in wc3 a pion being as powerfull as arthus... come on bliz. if you are going to make hero classes weaker then the noob classes what is the point?
* Extremely sickened and saddened that the dreaded HERO classes that are for the hard working elite players that put months and years into the game sucks....
Right. Just like after BC released, there were a million and one Ally Shamans and Horde Paladins. Log onto a server today, take a look around and tell me if the server is overrun with these 2 class/race combos. No they aren't. The game will spike with DKs at first, and then level off. It always does.
Now take a deep breath and quit yer belly-achin.

i beg to differ.
There are freakin DEATH KNIGHT ONLY GUILDS FORMING ffs.
Of course everyone will roll a DK (because everyone has a lvl 50 to start one) and of course everyone wants to be a hero class. Other classes just become inferior. And everyone will want to have the best DK, which means that everyone will continue to play DK until they are epicced out. And since everyone will be playing DK, end game raiding is pretty much out of the question, so it will be a continuous cycle of DKs running around.

I am looking for DK only guild btw
If anyone knows any recruiting
Works for me since I plan on rolling DK straight away. Not all of us are freaky-deaky raiders tho. In pvp my war was sorely needed.
Time to pack your warriors bags and send him on a long holiday......

People have always been making "exclusive" guilds since the game came out. Gnome-only, Undead-only, BloodElf-only, etc etc. Why do you think all those people stopped playing their Draenei Shamans and BloodElf Paladins? People don't like being just like everyone else.
I know I, for one, won't be playing a Death Knight on any kind of regular basis. I might roll one to check it out, but my Druid will always be my "main", first and foremost.
You're wrong I think. Yeah I personally think they should have at least given us 2 classes, 1 dps, 1 healer maybe to balance things out ut here's why I think you're wrong:
I really want the fresh experience going into wrath by starting a DK and it looks fun but I'm not sure because do I really want to lag 15 levels behind all my friends who are starting expansion? They'll be end game long before me and starting to earn gear. I won't be viable to them when I turn 80, plus it is just another dps class. Of course I could be missing something since I don't know the class. What unique accomplishments will he contribute to the group? So yeah you'll get a mobbing of level 55's at first but who cares. The numbers will peeter off as people alternate back to their 70's and so on. By end game it'll probably be balanced out.
I don't claim to know for a fact how this will affect the game on a long-term basis, however, I do feel that for the first few months (at the least), until the sheen of the new toy dims out, things will be pretty hectic. I think it was irresponsible and another way of Blizzard showing us that we are just here to make them richer and fatter, to give us another lame expansion. One that does nothing to really expand the game that we have not already seen and done, even if you call it a Super Dire Undead Purple Bear.
For those of us that have been playing the game for the past 5 years, it is sickening that all we get for the $900 that we have each spent, is a single class and a single new profession...when other games offer 20 classes or more when they are released, it's sad that we don't even have close to that many after 2 expansions. Add in the facts that we all are cookie cut copies of each other because that is the best spec for X class to X, and that most of us have played every current class, as well as gotten a good bit of them to 70 and geared...we deserve much more.
I am going to try a Deathknight because...well, what else do I have available to me to try new in this "expansion"? Will it screw up the balance of the world? Who knows, but if it does, maybe it won't be a bad thing; maybe it should so that Blizzard can learn a valuable lesson about short-cut money schemes.

Well 1 new class is sure hell of a lot better upgrade than 2 new races with all the same classes. I mean what reason was there to roll a blood elf or draenai?
DK's are going to be everywhere... at least for a while. They will make their mark on the game and change the landscape.
Strong RAID-centric guilds will be impacted less. They will be strict about DK numbers in the guild and on RAID's. Even in these guilds though, DK will make them shift their RAID rosters up and someone will be the 'odd man out'.
Guilds that are less strict will be impacted more. Solo-players trying to find pug groups may be faced with some issues for a while, too.
PVP is where they will make their biggest impact, imho.
DK add's to the complexity of trying to balance the game for Blizzard. I realize they are good at what they do and they are number 1 in the industry... but that doesn't take away from the fact that they are intro'ing a new 'hybrid' and that's gonna bring a sh*tstorm of issues.
DK's will be made to own certain classes and be owned by certain classes... rock/paper/scissors. Who will scream the loudest? All this preliminary talk of 'warriors will trash DK's' or 'DK = free honor' will eventually turn into "I bought the expansion to play DK and they suck" and then DK's will get a bump. Otherwise, if DK's were trash... then one of the major selling points of WOLK would turn into vapor.
DK's are being called a 'Hero-Class'. I doubt Blizz will make them to suck.
...
Horde... the purists stayed away from Pally and Blood Elf. Look up Cannibal Corpse + WoW and listen to how he feels about what came with TBC. I know a lot of other pure-blood Horde players that hate BE's and Pally's. I don't think you'll see that happen with DK. Where BE was a 'pretty' race, DK gives players an opportunity to play whatever race they want in a new class. Orc's, Undead, whatever...
Horde/Alliance... others will view DK as the opportunity to be another 'un-ugly' class, as they can be BE or whatever race they want. DK will have their own end game armor kits, their own mount, questline, starting zone, etc.,.. I know, looks, mounts, etc.,.. sound cheesy, but they add up. Blizzard knows this. Blizzard knows how to market and sell. The concept of DK is geared to sell their product. They want tons of people to want to play DK. I'd say Blizz's track record speaks for itself on being right or wrong.
Well 1 new class is sure hell of a lot better upgrade than 2 new races with all the same classes. I mean what reason was there to roll a blood elf or draenai?
There was none, and that's the point. Blizzard is a master at the art of skating. They lucked upon a game that is easy to learn, play, put down and pick up whenever you are ready. And they have been skating along on that bandwagon, making money for the past 5 years. Yea, one class is a hell of a lot better than two useless races. But why in the world would you only offer 1 class? It's not like they can't figure out any other classes to implement. I mean, when you play Warcraft 3, there are quite a few different classes that we have never even heard of? Why not implement all of them and make it a real expansion? Or at the very least, why not implement 2 classes, so that at least, the on overkill will be split between two different archetypes instead of just one.

LOL... cannibal corpse. He talks about not being able to target mage gnomes because they're too small and jumping around. It's like ever heard of key-bindings? I guess you can still be a purist and suck but whatever.
