bump aswell,


im in the same boat, i picked up engineering as i loved the bombs and other little crazy little things you can make, but other then that the profession does nothing to help my class and to be honest most of the stuff is useless anymore,

so in short i would really like to know what there planning for engineering so i know if im wasting my time or not,

i mean can we get any friggin info here what so ever? i just dont see why the CM's cant give us just a little bit of info other then "frost grenade"

I would like a preview as well, but I don't expect one. Bad customer support seems to be an industry standard with MMORPGs. At least until the next great thing come along and then they all of a sudden start scrambling to implement everything everyone has been clammoring about.

Nothing is perfect, but leaving Engineering in such a crappy state for so long is ridiculous. The improvements for BC should have been produced long ago even if they weren't implemented.

Everyone relax,
I am 100% confident that not only will we have information shortly, but that the information we get will be HUGE!

Big news that will make everyone happy, lots of cool schematics and uber weapons, even something to sell for a bit of gold.

How do I know this?

I just dropped engineering, it is inevitable now. :-)

Q u o t e:
The improvements to Engineering had better be amazing, at this point, 'cause I'm *this* close to dropping it. I fully expect to drop it once we see what Blizz is going to do with the profession, 'cause I can't see them improving it enough to make it worth my while.

*huge laugh*

That is all sorts of awesome . . . . because it's true! I know the second I drop engineering there is going to a fantastic review and I'm going to have level it up all over again.

Not going to fool me Blizzard. Oh no. I'm keeping this profession no matter how useless it is now. HA! :P

Edit: <insert evil laugh> My first "first" and all by pure accident. I must go make cupcakes to celebrate.

We're working on getting one together for everyone. We want to remind everyone that what you see will only be the start of things and there will be more added in over a period of time. Everything new isn't going to be added in just one patch.

Thank you, I can't wait :)

What this means, of course, is that even after the "starting changes" are implemented, there still won't be a reason to take, or continue with Engineering, and that several months down the road, with more changes here or there, it might be worth it once more.

Sorry, that's how the pessimist in me reads that statement.

So we'll get something useful, in 4-5 months then ?

In other words:

"Soon™"

If I don't see something in this patch to at least hint that you're going in the right direction for the profession, I will most likely be dropping it. And frost grenades are not what I would consider showing you going in the right direction. I get the feeling those will be along the same lines of mats required as the arcane bombs were back when the cap was 60, i.e. not worth ever making.

it is possible to make money as an engineer. of course you have to be 375 and able to craft khorium or felsteel stabilized scope. It might also help that there are only 3 engineers on the entire server with skill over or near 300.

I'm gonna hold out for this review and pray it is godly, if its not... LW has some rather nice bop pieces for my hunter.

Q u o t e:
well i have to say that engineering isnt too well worth any time outside raiding and well... why make a profession if it only has one point?....
i mean;
tailoring makes gold, items, and bags.
alchemy makes gold, pots, and xmutes.
herbalisim makes gold, saves gold, and supplies alchemy.
blacksmithing makes items, gold, and stones.
mining supplies jewelcrafting, blacksmithing, engineering, and makes gold.
jewelcrafting makes rings trinkets and necklaces as well as cutting gems and making gold.
skinning supplies leatherworking and can make money.
leatherworking makes nice gear, kits and xmutes leather to higher grades as well as making gold.

whereas poor ol engineering sucks up gold, contribues nothing to the economy and has little value with what it can make overall.

---

I like how you split some things up, and leave things out for engineering to make it look worse. Herbalism saves gold and supplies alchemy?? That's the same thing. Items/bags same thing, items/stones same thing, jewelcrafting rings/trinkets/necklaces same thing.

Engineering makes items and helps with raids.

Not saying it doesn't need help but your "analysis" is horribly biased and inaccurate.
