Mobilize the Troops - Send a post a day to Blizzard Twitters - Zandalari Paladins

[Deleted]

Need? NEED?
Zandalari don't need shit. However, lets admit it - A Zandalari Paladin charging around on their WarDino of choice would be !@#$ing awesome, no?

No. A Zandalari warrior charging around on their wardino would look cool. A Zandalari paladin wielding a magic completely out of troll style would look stupid.

For balance, just give the Dark Iron Shamans. Spending 300 years living with fire elementals must have given them SOME inclination to shamanism I would think.

Please dont bring the dwarves in this. Try to butcher your race if you want, but leave the master race out of this, and let them have classes that makes sense and not just for the sake of giving everything to everyone. No, being enslaved by fire elemental does not give you much inclination to shamanism. It gives you inclination to being angry and wanting to burn everything, which is more of a mage/pyromancer thing. Being close to nature and ALL elemental spirits, AND wanting to bring balance to them would make you choose shamanism.

And haters gonna hate, but having people send a daily reminder of a request for something is a valid way to make your statement known.

Having people sending me a daily reminder about stuff would a surefire way of earning solid blocks for all accounts involved. Spamming is rude and uncivilised. You want a valid way? Write a petition. Twitter spam is a drawn-out temper tantrum.

Out of Darkspear Troll style.

Not Zandalari Troll style.

They are still trolls. I mean, they are even the Original Trolls. Not sure where do you see connection and got that "elves of the trolls" part. All classes in BFA make sense to me.

What does this have to do with not being able to be Paladin?

Being a Paladin has very little to do with racial roots. Humans only fairly recently became Paladins, and they're the stunted offspring of Vrykul.

Yet everyone bases the idea of Paladins on this generic "omg holy knight human." notion.

[Dalheim]

No. Zandalari do not need paladins.

Yes, they do. Go away and play with birds, silly Disney Princess!

OT: Nah, not gonna do that. While I got disappointed that Zandalari didnt get paladins, I'm not gonna go annoy Blizzard over it. If they change their minds, great. Otherwise, life goes on and I'll still enjoy playing Zandalaris.

Eh, spamming them is a no, but I think a petition or some kind of forum thread would be good.

''Elves of the trolls'' is something humans considered the Zandalari because of their ''beauty'' compared to other trolls. So, like high elves were more perfect and beautiful compared to the humans, the Zandalari are more perfect and beautiful compared to other trolls. :>

[Phookah]

Apparently people here don't know anything about history if they think petitioning and organizing a movement is "childish".

Doesn't mean it always works, but it's a valid method of protesting.

Organizing a "movement" (lul) for a video game (key point here) is pretty much the definition of childish.

There's lots of dumb shit in the game, doesn't mean it all needs to be added in.

It isn't out of troll style so long as you've leveled past, say, 30.

It isn't the definition of childish. Why do you think companies like Blizzard spend millions on social media? It's called feedback curation, just so you know, and is the responsibility of at least a few teams at Blizz (and most big companies). SaaS-modeled businesses like Blizzard love customer feedback. They just ask that you say it in a way that is meaningful and this thread is the definition of meaningful feedback.

You may have had to work somewhere other than Burger King to understand some of these concepts. You'll get there, sweaty (;

Zandalari Prelates. Taunka. Yaungol. Corrupted Shaman. All in-game examples that completely counter what you claim.

Git gud plz.

[A Chozo]

I'll spam their social media about how it makes zero sense to have Zandalari Warlocks instead.

Fun for the family!

Sigh, instead of asking for something usefull like overlays and open the gates for "subclasses" based on different race, you will spam blizzard for a dumb thing like a paladin troll

"lait gaid u mon" wow amazing.

MY TROLL SPAMMING CRUSADER, rofl, CRUSADER STRIKE or TEMPLAR VERDICT.




If this is the player base, can't really blame Blizzard for making the game the way it is.

What is important to you is not important to someone else and vice versa.

Calm down and try not diminishing other people's views.

Don't bother. If you didn't make it known and BfA released without Zandalari Paladins, people here would be going "HURR WELL THEN YOU SHOULD'VE MADE YOUR VOICE HEARD DURING BETA."

Important subjectively =\= Important objectively


And Zandalari Troll are "subj" because it is just the whiny cry for people that want a class that has no sense, like sunwalker paladin, because those are not Paladin like the Vanilla TBC Wotlk etc Paladin but a sub-class of a Paladin, and that is fine and right to ask.



Ask for Prelate Zandalari not Paladin, ask them to make the Prelate as the "zandalari" paladin.



Asking for Overlays/Race-flavor Class "skin" not only will make the Zandalari "Paladin" more logical but even It would be even in game, and this would be show as "pre-existing" case of a Class-Race customization hence it will make other classes that people are asking since the dawn of time making into the game without touching the class balance.

[judgementofantonidas]

Let's remember that during Cata-prepatch, Dwarves did NOT have Mages, and Darkspear did NOT have warlocks until there was a big stink raised about them not getting new classes from the community. They were added last minute before the game went live. So if we make enough noise, we can change blizzard's mind.

Zandalari Paladin lore base exists in the game, moreso than rogue and warlocks if you look at Zandalari societ, previous NPCs, and Spells that exist in the game. This isn't a call to remove those, but rather a call to mobilize the troops for Zandalari Paladins.

Send Blizzard Twitter accounts a daily reminder every day from now until BFA reminding them about Paladin lore and Freethinkers and demand Zandalari Paladins.

Use the following tweet:

I know you want to go back to basics but Lore exists, make it happen
https://tinyurl.com/ycgj9kpz. Don't forget, warlocks were added to trolls in Cata. You've consistently showcased Zandalari Paladins since then as well - Freethinkers, Zandalari Prelates in ToT, Light of the Loa

A Reddit Thread with 100+ upvotes that also detail the exact same thing

You have my most sincere wishes that enough people do this that they all get banned and we don't have to deal with this form of childishness again.

Lmao, and you know what is objectively important.

Get out.

[Topornic]

No thanks. Go outside. Blizzard needs to stop listening to casuals who try to brute force their opinion into existence. If you don't like the game, don't play it. They are in charge of making it, not you.

I think you don't understand how market works at all.
Consumers decide. If they stop buying the game the developers might not know what caused it and it might lead to their downfall. Whereas if they keep lobbying for changes because they still want to play the game they might push developers in a certain direction with steady supply of means to deliver what they want.
Of these two options, the one proposed by OP is much better from everyone's PoV.
It's not a socialist state dude, they always make this game to cater for majority of consumers.

[Flame6]

I just want the horde to have another option for paladins. It's been 8 years and the horde only has 2 choices. I just want to play something new for my favorite class. Every damn xpac horde paladins get shafted.

Im not getting out whiny kiddo.


Objectively is for the game itself not for your kiddo wishes "me wanna play a troll paladin mommy" why not ask for a gnome shaman? a rogue tauren? there are in game durr.
People like you and the op are the ruin of this game that are moved only by their own desire instead of making a better game.

You're not even bothering to make a point. It's just "that which I care about is objectively important. Anything else isn't."

I'm gonna stop wasting my time with you.

And the Ally Druids? Shammy Ally? everybody want something but since vanilla some classes are polarized towards a different faction.

Already make my valid point, if you can't understand get out or stay in a corner reading nobody will miss you.
