Alex Afrasiabi has sent out a Twitter image and post that seems to indicate that years of advocating for Gnome Hunters may have finally paid off. Check this out...and either celebrate or weep.

    Gnome Survival Hunter? Wing Clip renamed to Toe Clip?

    You know when you play too much MMO's when your partners pants have become a rare drop.

    I think you're confusing Blizzard with SE

    Why not? Since that Cataclysm debacle they have been handing out everything to everyone. Racial choices upon character creation are just racial character skins now, everyone else is just the same.

    Something something FANTASY something THEME something something CLASS FANTASY something MEANINGLESS BUZZWORDS. If they took any of that nonsense seriously this makes no sense. Then again, most of this expansion is just pandering to try to make up for WoD so whatever.

    One one hand, they will eventually add every class to every race. I personally dont like that because that will make the game feel more generic. On the other hand, i would totally play a Forsaken Paladin (they were humans after all). And before someone says that Forsaken cant be holy, the Argent Crusade and Scarlet Crusade beg to differ.

    Well the game is in it´s sunset so to speak. So why not give the people who stuck around what they want... Gnome Hunters being something that i have seen requested since i began playing the game back in the olden days. Look at it from the bright side... At least no gnome Demon Hunters.

    This have been a good conversation

    It makes no sense? What about goblin hunters? my class fantasy has been gnome hunter since vanilla released, I'm stoked. ^^

    Why not?  There is precedent for this in the Sword of Shanara series of books.  Gnome hunters were something to be feared.

    This continued every race can do everything is really annoying. If they are going about doing this shit how about they remove racials then? or give every racial to every race? idiots...

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    Oh... I was hoping it was a new class that hunted gnomes.

    If they do get released perhaps they can get Pistols since I know they are in the game and be nice to see em used by someone other than outlaw rogue as after thought.

    i heard the gnome hunters will have phasers ..... lol how Blizzard  has butchered there own lore over the years .. really used to like the Warcraft world .. but not so much anymore
  • tawesstawess Member EpicPosts: 4,227
    Oh Scorchy. you are such a cute little flamebait... But it would be cute to see a gnome hunter with a battlepet and a tauren sized pistol as a rifle...

    This have been a good conversation

  • RogoshRogosh Member UncommonPosts: 208
    I am just hoping for some other race as a demon hunter, elves suck.

    When choice has no impact it is no longer a choice but a mere whim. A meaningless meandering of fancy. MMORPGs? Nah, I'm playing dress up with my gnome avatar.

    Oh well. The cow was milked dry long ago, no use crying over the vapors.

    Damn you Blizz, you have me coming back again for the pre x pac stuff and the x pac.

    I'm waiting for the twitter announcement about cross-faction guilds... you know it's coming... if you can do a battleground as the opposing faction, you should be able to raid et al as one as well.

    Let BEs be Druids, then this will peak my interest... everyone can be a hunter.

    I always wanted to play as an Undead Paladin and Tauren Rogue. At this point they should just let every race be any class bcuz fun.

    I think this may be a joke. Did anyone notice what the Gnome Hunter's pet is?? I believe that's an...... attack chicken??? lol!!!!

    It is almost as if the value of each is smaller and smaller with each change.  Eventually leading to nothing.

    Aw damn it. They mean you can play a gnome of the hunter class, and not a new class where you get to hunt down those annoying little shits.

    Dwarf & Orc hunters were always fun for me but I never desired a Gnome Hunter. Also I haven't played in a while but I always believed each race of hunter needed a little bit of extra love to set them apart from the rest. I was thinking if only specific races could tame particular beasts in special areas & zones it would make that character more special & unique. This could be assigned by a racial specific quest giver once you've come of proper age to learn that lost art of "ultra" beast taming. All hunters have their favorite pet and I was a huge WoW player mainly due to the fact I really loved the class. Even grinding was more fun with a pet at my side so more variety works for me. Whatever Blizzard does usually inspires love or hate so if you soon become beseiged by a great many new gnomes in the world know that those players are extremely happy so just ask them to /dance and /lol along with them :)

    Although i agree with everything you posted you are really not understanding the direction wow is moving in and has moved in over the past 3 years or so. Its all about easy access and simplifying the game as much as possible
