Right, which means you have no worries about whether or not there is room for future classes.
LIke I said, everything else you bring up is nothing more than an excuse. And it's an excuse that you will contradict later on, because your intention is not to actually bring up something you're worried about, you're actually trying to catch me in a 'gotcha' moment of contradiction by throwing a bunch of lies and excuses at me. And frankly that doesn't work, because I'm not actually proposing anything or extending my argument beyond functionality and countering your excuses.
Every time you try and counter something I said, it ends up being something I never said at all. Like how you stated POTM wouldn't make a good Class Skin. And I agreed, because I never said it would either.
You sure about that? I've been arguing its possibility from the very beginning.
Again, I'm of the mindset that Blizzard can do anything they want with their IP and make anything possible. And it's not a matter of what we think is possible or not, it's a matter of whether the devs are willing to consider dedicating resources to creating it for the purpose of their design. Again, there's really nothing to counter here since that's how all features in WoW are presented to us - not by fan demand or by democracy, but by the will of the devs.
If the devs want to incorporate a newly introduced diminutive Fox-based race that no one was asking for instead of the Ogre race which many long-term fans have been expecting and demanding, then they could go ahead and do that. Yet if we were going to talk about what the possibilities are for an Ogre class to be added, it's still gonna rank fairly high on the list of races we know that could be added, because we know the demand for playable Ogres hasn't really waned over time. It's just less expected to happen because we know Blizzard has shown little interest towards making it happen.
Right, and so the problems associated with POTM being a bad class skin idea stems from you arguing against yourself.
So there's really no point in asking me what I think about the matter, when the problem is something that only you can answer for yourself. Kinda like if you were vegan and you asked me how I deal with an inability to eat meat. I'm not a vegan so I don't have that problem, and it's a question for you to figure out for yourself anyways.
Frankly there's no right or wrong answer. There's only different perspectives of what is possible.
- Sylvanas is not a Hunter, and her unique themes can be represented by new class(es)
- Sylvanas is only a Hunter, and everything she does should be funneled back into the Hunter class as additive themes and abilities
Associating Jailer magic to Dark Rangers is really just your interpretation, which is no different than someone else thinking Dark Rangers and Jailer Magic would all work fine in the Hunter class, or believing that Hunters, Dark Rangers and a 'Dominator' that uses Jailer magic could be three different classes. It's all up to how you choose to percieve the possibiliities, while my perspective is akin to Schrodingers Cat; they're both possible and we don't know which will happen until we get there.
I mean if you asked me if Blizzard would add another Elf race that branched off from Night Elves thousands of years ago and chose to retain Arcane magic as a core part of their society, I'd say we probably don't need it since we already have Thallasians represent that in game. But Blizzard chose to throw in Nightborne all the same. And they made Void Elves playable too.
I already think having 2-Spec Demon Hunters who aren't very well differentiated from Warlocks is already dumb. Doesn't mean I didn't expect Demon Hunters to be added to the game, I was always aware of the possibilities since Paladins exist alongside Priests, creating precedent for having multiple classes with overlapping themes and gameplay. So whether Blizzard would make a 'Dominator' class on top of Dark Rangers and Hunters is really based on what the devs are willing to do. Do I think it would happen? Not likely, since I don't think Dark Ranger is very likely to happen in the first place. It would depend on how influential the writers are to the creative process and whether the devs are willing to create (multiple?) new class based on Sylvanas.
