The more I see about the next expansion the less I like.

Class Halls initially sounded so cool, and we hear them say "classes are going back to their roots!".

But then taking a look at the class halls, aside from Paladin and MAYBE Hunter, it's clear that modern Blizzard has no idea what exactly the class roots are/were.

Whose idea was it to put the warrior class hall in Diablo 3 heaven? Did they really feel like they had to 'invent' lore just to fit it with the class? It's such a shame, because Fray Island or even Dire Maul arena/coliseum would have been so much more compelling.

The rest are all somewhat uninspired too. Rogues could have had a guild hall that looked like a normal house/manor as a front, but then had secret passages to enter the real place, just like hmmmm Ravenholdt. The modern devs have no idea for compelling class flavour....
>>
Going to buy it anyway, then unsub a 2-3 months later when it goes back to the trivial solo experience/fuckall to do outside of raid night.

We don't know shit about the class halls, what they do, or exactly how they'll look and feel, let alone the lore behind them. You've got a screenshot and heavily WIP visual assets.

Also Ravenholdt burnt down during the fucking ROGUE LEGENDARY WEAPON QUEST in Cataclysm, anyone who actually gives a shit about Rogues would know that.

They had an opportunity to create hubs for each class and they had to fuck it up from the get-go by making YOU the special snowflake leader of the entire class instead, which basically turns the whole feature into another garrison.
>>
>>319411831
They have no problems adding on sections that didn't exist. People who say Ravenholdt couldn't hold that many people forget, could Lights Hope? Oh wait, they can easily just slap in a secret underground chamber. If anyone had one of those it would be the Rogues instead of Paladins. A FIRE in the Warcraft universe is the least of a building's problems. Unless its a fire that destroys a park.

Could be an interesting introduction, bringing together the scattered members of ravenholdt, rebuilding your class hall, upgrading it, maybe having some references or bits of dialogue for people who have the legendary daggers?

Wait what? Sewers? Yeah that sounds better. Sewers.

>>319410803

> tfw been that way since cata.
>>
>>319412182

They made a point of destroying a place during one of the classes most lore significant event the entire games life span, bringing it back would be stupid.

>>319412372

If they built a new building where the old one was, it wouldn't be ravenholdt manor, it would just be "generic Rogue HQ" built near the ashes of Ravenholdt manor.

At least the sewers of Dalaran exist already, haven't been destroyed, and were a hangout spot for Rogues in the past.

Only reason anyone wants Ravenholdt Manor back is the same reason people want dumb shit like weapon skills or having to go to a class trainer every other level to learn skills again, amber tinted goggles strapped on so tight that blood flow to the brain is severely reduced.

You go there, set your not-followers out on their missions, then either go back to the grind or AFK in Dalaran.

What's really ass about this expansion is the second ability prune they're doing under the guise of "talent revamps." I'd honestly wager that at least a third of the "hundreds of new talents!" are old abilities/traits that used to be baseline.

Autists being worshipped by NPCs in their lil' safe space. That's literally what a class hall is, and that's the type of player Blizzard is forced to cater to in WoW. Why? Because nobody else plays the game anymore.

I resubbed for the Heroic Archie kill and already gave up, it's just not fun. Trying to clear normal HFC is like tearing hair out and it just makes me nostalgic for the progression raiding I did in vanilla.

Okay so lets fix DK mobility.

Blood Trail: For every enemy in combat with the Death Knight their speed is increased by X%. If the enemy is injured, speed is increased by Y%. Caps at 20-40% bonus movement.

Path of Frost: Now passively increases the movement speed of the Death Knight (Frost) by 20%. Increase party movement speed by 10%. Does not remove on hit. Does not stack with Windwalker speed bonus.

Dark Transformation (Unholy): During Dark Transformation your passive benefit of Death's Advance is doubled.

In an odd bit or irony, the warrior class hall fits paladins better, with its light motifs, god, and being a castle in the sky.

The paladin hall, if you get rid of the silver hand banners, fits warrior better, with its decapitated foes, map room, weapon racks, and training areas.

>>319411547
This is something people keep getting confused by.

From an aesthetics standpoint the hall is wonderful. It looks amazing.

From an immersion stand point, its a hall led by a demi-god who uses light based attacks, has bridges made of light that turn people into light, is peopled by golden angels and golden immortal golems, and all in all isnt that fitting to warrior.

Then, having placed a soul shard under the table, he was done. Or should have been done. But Arthas was something of an adrenaline junkie and enjoyed being where he was. That's why he checked the cupboards, located some cereal, and had breakfast before putting everything back exactly as it had been. It was his house now, meaning a place where everything that happened would be known to him, and to The Cult of the Damned. The thought pleased him and Arthas was still smiling as he left.

Its a shared zone. So basically you're surrounded by dozens of other Paladins with Ashbringers and all the NPCs say "Good to see you Highlord Naruto." "Good to see you Highlord Steve420."

Honestly they should have just made everyone class champions. Its too late to resolve the artifact issue, but Blizzard could still undo the writing of you being the leader of the class order.
>>
>>319414282
Old talent tree was shitty as fuck though. 2% increase to damage, fucking yey. 1% to hit with spells woooooooooooow. At least they do a bit more now and most of the "mandatory" points in the older trees are passives to the spec.

Both end up being "this build is the best" anyway so they're pretty pointless.
>>
>>319419710
>>319419581
As I understand itm it's a private zone shared by members of the same class
So as I understand it you're going to be in the order hall along with a couple of hundred other mooks at the same time
this was the only solution they could think sp we wouldnt get a repeat of the solo experience garrisons got us in WoD
yes blizzard is THAT braindead

Man that's really a shame. I played druid from day of vanilla to middle of MoP and I still remember way back in the day us druids had some sort of 'honor code', maybe because we shared Moonglade.
>>
>>319421330
Well if a owner migrated to a server with another owner there would be two but you could only ring the gong to open AQ once per server, hence why everytime a new server was open until WotLK a massive amount of people went there to do the quest and get a shot at the mount.

Weren't a lot of people there not blizzard fans? LIke you can spot some of the LoL folk in that crowd. The response at blizzcon was overwhelmingly positive, not a fair comparison either honestly, but you cant point at a crowd of people not interested and go "Look at how shit its going to be."

It wasn't exactly one per server, though. You could still complete the quest for 10 hours after the initial banging. But the quest was such a monumental task to complete that it very, VERY rarely ended in more than 1-3 scarab lords per server.

>>319422245
Players like the idea of having a somewhat customizable area. The farm in MoP for instance, despite being so minor, was incredibly popular.

Then they over did it in WoD.

Legion the class hall is mostly just a quest hub and hang out area. It wont be a requirement for professions, and it wont have the facebook missions.

Doomhammer artifact would be a lot better as elemental. Rather than making it enhance so your offhand will always be the same magma mace.
>>
>>319422602
Disc Priest
Holy Priest (fallback if Disc's damage+healing gimmick doesn't work well)
Whichever Rogue spec has the most interesting rotations at launch
>>
>>319422934
There ARE followers in the class hall.
>>
>>319422602
Survival Hunter
Marksman Hunter
Unholy DK
Outlaw Rogue
Shadow Priest
Balance Druid

Can't choose just 3 for now.
>>
>>319423050
We could kill thrall and take his Doomhammer as well...

oopps sorry thrall is immune. Only varian gets to die

Dont buy into the meme, everything is passive and its gonna be a braindead spec like Beast Mastery

>>319423221
there are followers but they don't do things for you, rather you quest with them. when you pick a daily zone with quests and shit they follow you into the fight.
>>
>>319423452
which means you still get to play autism simulator with your followers

furthermore, we dont know how involved the quests will actually be
>>
>>319421696

I'm a friend of a Blizzard game designer. I have some info on how the Class Order Halls will pan out. Basically, it's gonna be like this:

1.) You have 8 "Champions" total. You can take these Champions with you on missions (daily/weekly/story quests), up to 4 of them at a time. Champions like Lord Maxwell Tyrsosu, Darion Mograine, etc. You can also send some champions and units under them on Garrison-like quests as well, but they are less frequent than the Garrison missions in WoD.

2.) You have a bunch of quest NPCs there who you will interact with for your own classes' storyline that isn't tied to the artifact. It's not much but each class gets some unique quests, including dailies.

3.) Obviously this is also the place where you upgrade and customize your artifact. The artifact quests shown so far are only the first stage, there is another quest line for each class to upgrade the artifact at level 110. One example is Tyr blessing the Ashbringer after you kill a faceless general.

4.) Class Halls have their own class-specific chat. Some NPCs have flavor text and some other minor shit.

Old talent builds were at least more diverse than what we have now, TBC's being the most flexible. Should plebs using cookie-cutter builds mean the rest of us can't do what we want?
>>
>>319425505
and that effects gameplay how?
if I have a mage and warlock when I play them they're both completely different in how they play. in fact each of their 3 specs all play completely different from each other
if I played a mage and warlock in vanilla i would cast only frostbolt/fireball/shadowbolt no matter what.

>Old talent builds were at least more diverse than what we have now
you're kidding right?
old talent builds were sometimes 100% cookie cutter, at best you could choose between 2 or 3 meaningless talents they had no real impact
now most classes have multiple talent setups depending on the type of fight (aoe/st/cleave) for each spec

>>319425863
yea fire sure builds up a resource consistantly that is then used on a huge nuke spender and can cleave onto specific targets with single target or turn their st into hitting everything in an area
and destro sure does rely on crits to cast rolling big nukes and then turn a huge passive dot into an even more massive one with a cd

Maybe for like AQ40/Naxx when everyone became hyperspecialized, but there were a lot of viable builds for various purposes. Shaman for instance, although somewhat hamstrung in PvE content past 20 man, had total freedom when building for PvP because of how many roles the class could fulfil, some simultaneously.

PvE for Resto mostly varied in terms of what you wanted to invest in after 31 points, while enhance admittedly had to stick to a fairly rigid Enh/Resto (gotta have dat Nature's Guidance) with a leftover ~7 points to do with what they wanted (though they could opt for tank talents for 5-mans).
