Incriptions make Tatoos

[Migerhorns]

I think inscriptions should be shown as tatoos on the hands, head and body of your character. It would mkae sense, were do you put them anyway? Is it just a presence over you? It would add some cutomization to your character and some higher level ones can glow.

[jpillz]

They're applied to your spellbook.

[Aldub]

Tattoo glyphs would be sweet. When I first heard about inscription way back when it was all still rumors, I imagined them being like tattoos.

[Bainz]

No.

Definately no.

[olicon]

But, but, I do like the idea!
Another customization to your character doesn't have to be bad. As long as they can be turned off like helm, etc, then it wouldn't bother anyone.
The problem though, would be that you won't see the tattoos through all your layers of armor. That'd be a little bit sad.
(Maybe they can craft a special class of armor that only appears as "tattoo"? Appearance-wise, it would only apply a new texture over your body, rather than big clunky plate.)

When I first heard Inscription I thought of the Guild guy in fable that saves your life as a Kid (I forget) And his face had a glowing tatoo on it, that is what I thought.

As much as i like RP and all, lore or no lore.... If i wanted to play a gang/rocker game id have bought that 3-4 years ago, this is a medieval themed game (with a funtwist at times but still...) - and your question of where you put them arent really in-sync with the fact that medieval includes magic so like another one say "They're applied to your spellbook", you dont quite need any physical place to indicate them as they are as they are...magical.

But on the other hand, technology side of things we currently got several races with each having two genders, ontop of that we got 3 minors and 2 major glyphs... the combinations possible is quite high, imagine Stormwind with 50 people each having diffient modelapperances...../bye latency - personally i think thats why we see "some" apperance diffiencies but all on a global scale such as thing, servers would go haywire on the input/output processor-load and traffic....despite how many billions of dollars Blizzard gets, there will always be hardware/software complications in a major MMO.

My apology if i come off offensive, not intended....just late as heck /tired zzz

Tattoos were and still are used as a means of spiritual worship, protection, or rite, and have been for at least the last 5 thousand year, including many medieval areas (dwarves), native peoples of Africa (trolls), North America (tauren), and East Asia (night elves). Just to clear up that horrible misinformation. Tattoos would be far, far more in line with Warcraft lore than, say, the whole of engineering.

[Leifmeister]

I think its a cool idea. I mean, if it stays under your armor anyways, it would just be a neat little thing if you took your armor off. And if they let you choose different designs and shit would be nice to make all those damn toons look different.

[Gyroslave]

see it as something your character has trained hard to achieve.
i as a martial artist have weaknesses ( i need a dictionairy) and strengths. f.e a friend from dojo and i have both red scarp in wushu ( 1st dan) but his punches arer far stronger then mine , therefore my foot work is a little better. so while we were training he kept punching bags and walls and stuff while a was training my kicks.

you could call it specializing in some kind of apsect

[fudgems]

Yeah, because we ALL want to look like nelf huntards with their faceglyphs don't we.....

oh wait, no i don't.

That's right. Instead you're fortunate enough to be a class getting nerfed "TO THE GROUND."

Congratulations.

If you really think that adding one or two unsigned shorts used for tattoo selection to the client-server transaction would make "servers go haywire on the input/output processor-load and traffic" you really have no clue about programming.

Then explain why we can craft helicopters, choppers, and hogs?

Something like tatoos on things exists in their lore.

[Migerhorns]

After reading about rune masters, I thought of "New Hero class", but that's just me...

[Icylobster]

I'm going to say id prefer that inscriptions had nothing to do with tatoos. If you want tatoos id rather have them make something completely different for that which also does not relate to any stats or skills. Just something people can do for fun if they want.

i agree with you

After reading about rune masters, I thought of "New Hero class", but that's just me...

i allways wondered how come the monk class wasn't yet created in wow(was a cool class in diablo), first time i played wow and i saw warrior can wear staff i thought "damn you can maybe play him in monk style", how foolish of me... anyway warriors still use staves and they dont do any shit with them so monk will soon knock on the expansions door. Probabily after the bard allready announced for the next expansion.

/on topic
glyphs empower your spell book and so this will affect some spells


/kinda off topic
tattoos will most likely be available in wow in one of the next expansions(maybe they will be visible or not), and most likely they will modify stats, resists and others. Lineage allready has some kind of invisible tattoos, so most likely blizzard will also make them available.
i also think blizzard will think more at the vanity pets(or create some other pets), since other games allready have pets that influence you(like mu has devils and angels to sit on your shoulder)

Got a blue post to prove this? Cause otherwise I'll just chalk it up as "pulling junk out of nether-regions" like the whole Pandaren thing.

I think some1 completely missed the joke? Ôo
