The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Jastall]

Honestly if blizzard didn’t want to do racial art assets they could very well get away with making all tinkers based on Gnome/Goblin tech given that’s what the engineering profession is split up into.

Yeah, but I feel it would be a missed opportunity when on top of that the class could have Draenei or Blood Elf-style crystal mechs, Dwarven style tech themed after Titans, Harvest Golem styled things for humans, Forsaken-themed heavy metal suits, Iron Horde style tech separate from mainstream goblin ones, and other stuff like that. Granted with all the races out there it would be a quite massive undertaking tho. And things like Darkspear Troll, Night Elf or Tauren mechs could end up looking a bit silly as well.

Anyway 11.0 isn't going to have Tinkers so it's a discussion more for a potential 12.0 thread anyway.

[keelr]

Ah I've seen we are in the "Tinker discussion phase". Every hype thread has cca. 200 pages of pointless Tinker discussion. At this point its ridiculous.

[Calfredd]

Never said they would be. You go Goblin, Gnome, MGnome, and Vulpera.

And orc and draenei (and their variants) and possibly even blood elf.

[Jaggler]

back in the good old days, every days, every discussion was just a ploy to make somebody click on the eye of azshara loading screen instead of ideological trench fights about what WoW wishlist is better

[Calfredd]

Vulpera can use mechs made of bone, tendon, muscle and sinew from all their scavenger ways.

Maybe mounted onto some kind of electricity conducting vegetable... A pickle maybe?

Oh that's kind of horrific. They pull on various tendons to make the meat-and-bone suit to move how they want like Remmy from Ratatouille.

[Hitei]

I wish an expansion would bring back multistrike. I miss the little mini-spells.

[Azalar]

That would be undead tinkers

[Teriz]

And orc and draenei (and their variants) and possibly even blood elf.

As Jastoll pointed out, if you can't provide the necessary art assets for them, there's no point bringing those races into the class. People aren't going to be excited to play a Draenei "artificer" in a Draenei warframe that is using Goblin tinker abilities.

[Calfredd]

That would be undead tinkers

I'm already hoping for undead animal forms for a potential undead druid.

[Eldryth]

If Tinkers ever actually do happen, they should just use a customizable mech like the new Moonkin options. Even if that means you don't see your character, also like Moonkin. Give options for all major racial styles, and either include glyphs or some other form of variant animations to fit that, or just have a wide variety of abilities like guns, lasers, rockets, crystals, etc. (maybe broken up by spec) and justify it by saying that player Tinkers studied various engineering styles from across Azeroth.

I played sub rogue a lot in WoD I enjoyed multristrike a lot. shame they got rid of that and kept the more boring versatility.

200 pages, those are rookie numbers. We've got to pump those numbers up

[Aucald]

It should go without saying this is not a Tinker thread, nor a thread about a lengthy comparison of probable future classes. Let's keep that discussion to any of the several threads already devoted to it, and keep this thread as on-topic as possible as it concerns future patches and expansions.

[Ersula]

Never said they would be. You go Goblin, Gnome, MGnome, and Vulpera.

Vulpera don't use technology any more than any other races. You seem to be predicated on them only making a mech animation for those two riggings, but why would they need to? A mech pilot is either going to be stationary or not visible.

[Well Done Steak]

It's the calm before the storm.... Can you feel it Mr Krabs?

For sure one of the features is gonna be open shammy, druid, paladin, and DH for all races.

DH just needs new starting intro like panda and AR dks.

[Valysar]

I want an xpac with a zone full of changes as you progress through the quests (like mount hyjal regrowth, but on a bigger scale)

[Worldshaper]

Today is probably the last boring day before BlizzCon. No one's at work etc.

Tomorrow, we'll be 4 days from the big event and real leaks will probably start trickling in.

[matijwow]

It's 100% revamp time, and all reasons given by Blizzard to not do a revamp are failures on their part, not excuses.

[Teriz]

I'd watch for Wednesday to be the day something legitimate leaks.

[Ferlion]

I would still be unsurprised if we see no leaks at all this year.

Again, people are likely nervous about the new guy.
