    Unless you actually believe that GC doesnt know the answer, and was actually looking for an answer from the community.



    Yeah, GC didn't say that. You got the wrong guy.
    Regardless, Blizzard did. These guys are all higher ups, generally speaking a successful company like blizzard is going to have a plan around communications, and a strategy for things like Twitter.

    Absolutely, and its pretty clear from that communication that DHs have no available design space because Warriors, Warlocks, Hunters, and DKs are already in the game.

    The Tinker tweets on the other hand were far more positive.

    In your ridiculously bias opinion. Personally I think it is pretty meaningless either way for either proposed idea. Unlike you I know the difference between an opinion and a fact.

    Also, before you start re-quoting me all your "facts" for the millionth time, save everyone some time and realize you are taking basic facts and making unsupported leaps, to come to a phantom answer. We get it, you are a fan of an idea, you have opinions, and an inability to communicate things appropriately...not to mention a healthy dose of delusion mixed with a keg full of insecurity.

    Actually its not opinion, its simple logic. Since clearly that was a rhetorical question.

    As for everything else, keep in mind that those tweets from GC regarding the Tinker completely support the points I made here;

    Btw, if you don't wish to discuss the topic, don't respond to the topic.

    Report his posts every time he intentionally and maliciously claims that Ghostcrawler, or any other WoW dev for that matter, said something that they didn't actually say.

    For the record, here is Ghostcrawler's actual tweet (https://twitter.com/Ghostcrawler/sta...292543741952):

    Quote Originally Posted by Ghostcrawler

    Not "Demon Hunters will never happen ever" or "There is too much overlap for demon hunters to happen" or anything else that Teriz claims Ghostcrawler said. And as it has been shown to him MANY TIMES now that Ghostcrawler did not say what Teriz claims he said, it can only be that Teriz is deliberately and with malice aforethought putting words into Ghostcrawler's mouth, and he won't stop until somebody forces him to do so.

    Rhetorical questions can create options for discussion and/or discovery. You attempt to spin everything to support your opinion. Simple logic dictates it would be asinine to assume anything from Blizzard, since you have no more knowledge than the rest of us.

    Also how does your idea of a WC3 based WoW Tinker class benefit from the comments, he pretty much said that the WC3 implementation is too whimsical for a class, and that a wholly different flavor of a tech class would need to be designed. In essence nullifying your initial idea.

    But not in this case, because the answer is pretty obvious. Also we don't just have GCs tweet, we also have Blizzard's design decisions since TBC that back up exactly what that tweet says. Again, he mentioned the classes that overlapped with DHs. All we need to do is look at those classes, compare them to a DH class concept, and draw a conclusion.

    The conclusion is that there isn't design space for a DH class.

    My initial idea has always been a technology class in WoW. As long as its implemented, I really don't care what form it takes. I'm sure Blizzard will make it awesome regardless, just like the Monk class.

It seems to be the way it goes on the forums, a couple people get an idea, they throw their opinion as fact, then some people foolishly believe it and start spreading it, So I was curious is there any evidence this time around to what I keep seeing?
    Teriz does a great job of laying the evidence for why there could be a tinker class in the future.

    I see that Teriz has already made his way into the thread.

    Only if you have absolutely no regard for honesty or objectivity.

    How so? What can be construed as dishonesty in his one post?

    Let me rephrase this question. Can you refute his five points in his post? The only thing is I think he missed that tinker would be the only class that wouldn't fit the expansions themes.

    Actually he did. That's why no one has asked about Demon Hunters on twitter since. People took that tweet for exactly what it said; Not enough design space for a Demon Hunter class.

    LoL@ trying to get someone banned for reiterating what a tweet said. Pathetic.

    As for my dream class that I know will ever exist? ALCHEMIST! WOOOOOOOYEAAAAAAAAAH.
    Alchemist could be one of the specs for the tinker though probably not in the capacity that you were hoping for.

    But it doesn't SAY that they haven't. That's why I'm drawing the comparison with what they said about Pandaren. GC implied something...and he isn't bothering to correct YOUR assumptions. Just like the Pandaren - many players were utterly convinced Pandaren weren't coming, when Blizzard only implied they weren't working on in game Pandaren.

    I'm not saying Tinkers will be the next class....but I do put "Not sure" "Might be too whimsical" "Depends on how it is done" and "But maybe one of the designers will come up with a pitch perfect design that blows us away someday" in the same category of denial as (paraphrasing) "Usually when we do Pandaren, we do them in novels and comics".

    As I said before - what if "someday" was last year? What if "Depends on how it was done" means they've already designed a non-silly version?

    There's nothing specific there either for Tinkers or against. Either for a new class next Xpac or against.

    You are too obsessed with the class. Don't set yourself up to be disappointed if somehow the new class is not tinker or there's not even a new class next xpac.
    At this point in time, I don't think theres much call for a new class. Given the diminishing returns, Blizzard might have enough "oomph" for one more as a major feature. The problem is what what would replace it...since the DR problems also affect the idea of a new race.

    Its not just reiterating what a tweet said. Its passing his opinions as blizzards facts and portraying false ideas.

    I'm pretty sure he gets at least 10 tweets a day for them. He just doesn't answer.

    I don't get what more facts do you guys need? You think Blizzard is going to put out another DW Melee class after putting out two DW Melee classes back to back? Despite the details, Demon Hunters don't add much new or different to the game. Even part of their name is used by a different class.

    No surprise that tinkers won that forum poll. Its a better concept when you think about it.

    His original post isn't so bad, though it is all speculative and not based on concrete evidence that "Tinker will be the next class." It's what comes after where he betrays himself as a lying, irrational zealot.

    Its all your opinion. But im not talking about that right now. Only a fanboy such as yourself could deny that teriz is portraying false info.

    Maybe because he feels that he (and the game) already answered it?
