Q u o t e:


Ok, FYI:

I've killed an active, non rez sick alliance 70 pally, who was VERY good with his class.

At 2 years old, i was playing the classics, like Zelda and Final fantasy. Sure, it took me time to get good at them, but i was new and learning then.

Also: i hate polititians.

Q u o t e:
OP,

I have to say I agree with you completely, especially the part about there being to many death knights running around, I don't see how that wont be an issue.

What I see as the solution is to instead have more than one hero class come out at once or change the idea of a hero class. For instance, have a hero class that comes directly from a class we already have. ie. mage turns to archmage.

Q u o t e:
On the "Players who can't play their class bit", i'll bet that many good players will be stumped when they roll a DK, and may want some easy quests so they can master their class before taking on bigger things, like raids and dungeons. You just don't see any easy "Learner" quests at high lvls.

Q u o t e:


No. You did not kill a level 70. It is utterly impossible unless he was AFK. That is one of the few claims that I will ever say "pics or it didn't happen" and honestly mean it. I refuse to believe that even a terrible player couldn't kill a level 53 of any class before they dropped it. At best you may have gotten a Hammer of Justice or Repentance to land, allowing you time to get away, but you could not have killed a level 70.

And you may have been pressing the buttons on the NES controller at age two, but you weren't playing them. The thought processes and awareness are not there in any two year old unless it's an alien.

Q u o t e:

We do hope a lot of people try out the class, it should be a lot of fun. But we also know that people have their preferred style of play so we don't expect everybody to drop their current character(s) and play the Death Knight exclusively.


Just leveling up to reach Northrend will take time and should provide players some great experience in learning the new class.


I'm a little confused here, but are you saying that it's a problem that you can't spend more hours at lower levels?


I'm not sure that other classes falling out of favor as alts is really a big deal, but I wanted to clarify that the starting level of the Death Knight has not been finalized, but they will start at a higher level as a level 1 Death Knight doesn't sound quite right.


While a lot of people may make Death Knight alts to try out the class, especially near the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, not everybody is going to level them to 80 or switch them to their main character. Also, both factions will be interested in playing the Death Knight, so any lack of heals will probably go both ways.


They will still need to level through Outland and Northrend which can take a fair amount of time.


We have not finalized way that the Death Knight will be unlocked yet, if that is what you are referring to.


We have wanted to make Hero Classes for a long time and we feel the Death Knight will be a fun one to start with while adding a great new element to the game for players to enjoy fighting with... and against.

Can you people just STFU about this already?!!?
And YES, i do have a pic of me and some nubs pwning the guy, lemme load it up...

Q u o t e:



But see this is where you are wrong. The death knight is NOT a hero class. Its just a new class that starts at 60. Why do you guys continue to feed this nonsense to people.

Q u o t e:
OK,i'm not one for idle chat in forums, so let me get down to buisiness: I don't like the idea of Hero classes, no class should start at lvl 60, no matter if you have do do a quest chain to get it. I feel Death Knights should start at lvl 1 like alll other classes because:

-Everyone will roll death knight alts because they startat lvl 60, so they have less work to do.
-It forces you to master a class in high-level areas where you need to know your class to suceed, and most new Death knights won't know how to play their class at all.
-You will get less hours out of your death knight alt.
-New players will have to wait months to try a class they may have wanted from the beginning.
-Other classes will fall out of favor for alts, because they start at lvl 1, wheras Death Knights start at 60.
-The massive flood of Death Knights will clog battlegrounds, making matches extremely uneven (No class variety, so less heals, druid bufs, etc.)
-The lack of levels to obtain takes away what makes WoW so fun: Leveling up and gaining new abilities.

Fell free to correct me if you think my judgement is flawed, but this is how i feel Hero classes will change WoW, and i smell something foul approaching.
