Did Ghostcrawler reveal the new class in expansion 5?

[Kaus]

Please no tinker. Let's go Timewarden!

Oh please that'd be so out of place in WoD, Demon Hunter all the way.

[zephid]

There won't be a new class next expansion.

Note: This is purely speculation.


So during GC's famous Tinker tweets this past summer, he made the following statements;

That line about Lucca from Chrono Trigger is an interesting one. For those who don't know, Chrono Trigger was an old Square game from the 1990s on the Super NES/Famicom that was based on time-travel. Lucca was an inventor who built the time machine that started the entire adventure. Its fascinating that out of all tech-class references, he chose one that had a time-travel slant.

Again, this could mean absolutely nothing. However IF the next Xpac is Warlords of Draenor, AND it deals with time travel, that's a very interesting tweet from GC that could be possibly a clue as to what to expect in the next expansion.

Thoughts?

Though Lucca is a scientist, a tinkerer if you will.

Yeah but like.. What "race" would they be?

Well, if they were able to time travel I'm guessing they could be any race.

Still not interested in a tinker class though.

I love it when people use time travel as an excuse to not make decisions.

"What race is it"

"It can travel through time so all races."

If Warlords of Draenor adds a class, which I'm doubting it does, it will be Demon Hunter or Timewalker.

Personally I'm leaning toward Demon Hunter for obvious reasons.

Sry but what parts are 'obvious' ?
MMo-champ posted front page a name that has been registered or whatever, there has been no official say in whats to come or whats going to be involved in the next expansion.
All we have had is a bunch of mindless posters on here speculating whats what trying to bring it off as fact because its in there head.
Obvious will not arrive untill next friday.

By the way its been a few hours now...shouldnt you be changing your sig again??

Oh god not this 80 pages of tinker crap again! At least it can only last a week this time. *facepalm*

I don't see a wrong with that. Wishes for Tinker!

[m777]

i think he just mumbling because i would not like boring overpowered tinker class

[Stonecloak]

12 classes seems like a sweet spot, and me thinks it will be another hero class.

[flambookey]

Would much rather see bards than tinker, but THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN and it upsets me.

[Teriz]

As I've always said, every WoW class comes from WC3. Goblin Tinkers and Goblin Alchemists are the only WC3 heroes whose abilities are not being used by existing WoW classes.

If there's going to be a new class, its pretty likely to be the Tinker.

However, if its Timewalkers, I'll be fine with that too.

[Wildmoon]

"Someday" could also strongly suggest the release date of the next expansion.

As for Demon Hunters, keep in mind that at the time of Draenor's destruction, Illidan was imprisoned by Maiv Shadowsong.

It was Illidan who brought Demon Hunters to Draenor/Outland.

If you believe it's time travel then all of that don't matter at all because time-travelling mess up everything.

Why are you taking that quote literally when Blizzard devs are notorious for purposeful misdirection?

Remember when Tom Chilton said that they only used Pandarens for "secondary products"?

Your whole thread is based on taking a quote seriously. At least I'm saying they should be taken literally.

If you don't think quotes should be taken seriously you're going to need to do more to prove your point yourself, or you're in the exact same position re proof as I am.

Nice double standard though.

I agree with this. Who's to say Lucca isn't "purposeful misdirection"?

Plus, time travel is firmly in the domain of magic in WoW. The only 'technology" implemented is through the use of magic hourglasses. I'm afraid you're grasping at straws here.

So you're saying that there's no way Azeroth technology could produce a time machine? Engineers have already created dimensional portals in the game.

Its pretty hard for "someday" to be taken literally when we don't know when "someday" is. It could be years from now, or it could be this upcoming expansion.

That's the flaw in your reasoning.

[Therougetitan]

Sounds like he still wants to hear a good pitch from the designers. So it could happen but not for expac 5.

[Yattz]

Chrono ---> Tinker ----> Lucca ----> Akira Toriyama

Akira Toriyama ----> Artist ----> WoD ----> Alien Races -----> Saiyans & Namekians confirmed as playable alien races native to Dreanor next expansion.

Yup, Saiyans confirmed.
