>2024>gnomes can be priests>nelves can be warlocks>tauren can be ROGUES?????What the fuck is going on?
>>695167279>gnomes can be prieststhis is the case since like 2010 when they released cata.
>still cant play as an ogre. >never got our flying siege combat world pvp promised since wotlk.
>>695167279Yeah, it's bullshit that pandas can't be paladins.
Gnomes were able to be priests since 2010And tauren in-universe could be rogues (see the Grimtotem clan) since Vanilla
>>695167279you could seethe at a million things in modern wow and this is what you choose?
>>695167279Why not?
>>695170931Class/race combo limits are SOUL and show the devs give a fuck and actually play/know their own game. see: when belfs couldn't be warriors because NO MANAModern WoW is long past this point so desu there should be zero limits metaphorical of how the game's lore, setting, visuals, etc. does not matter anymore in the slightest, just like how once an elf was idenitifable by it's eye color, but now you can do literally anything and nothing has meaning
>>695171543>see: when belfs couldn't be warriors because NO MANAbut they could be rogues?
If WoW actually had soul, race/class combos would be extremely restrictive like this, also Pandaren and Dracthyr wouldn't exist. Also Allied Races wouldn't exist either.Alliance:Human:>Warrior>Paladin>Rogue>Priest>Warlock>Mage>Death KnightNight Elf:>Druid>Rogue>Hunter>Mage>Warlock>Demon HunterDwarf:>Warrior>Priest>Paladin>HunterGnome:>Mage>Warlock>RogueDraenei:>Paladin>Priest>ShamanWorgen:>Warrior>RogueHorde:Orc:>Warrior>Shaman>WarlockForsaken:>Priest>Rogue>Mage>Warlock>Death KnightTauren:>Warrior>Hunter>Druid>ShamanTroll:>Warrior>Hunter>Rogue>Druid>Shaman>WarlockBlood Elf:>Paladin>Priest>Rogue>Hunter>Mage>Warlock>Demon Hunter>Death KnightGoblin:>Rogue
>>695174032I forgot to add (Shadow only) beside Priest under Forsaken.
>>695167279The non-ending “quality of life” improvements that the consoooomers wish for (and then they wonder why the game sucks later)
>>695174032please explain why humans cannot be hunters
>>695174260it feels naturey so they don't get to be hunters
>>695167279>What the fuck is going on?that is just the nature of games that go on too long. squeezing out juice that no longer exists forces retardation. just look at gta online's degradation.
>>695167279At some point they stopped caring about the lore around the time they introduced niggers and chink humans and they just started adding nonsensical class / race combinations to placate what little community they have left.
>>695174307so then why are dwarves huntersthey have fuckin guns
>>695174032>Night Elf>One of the race's most iconic heroes is Priestess of the Moon>No priest>Another iconic hero is Warden, a melee warrior that wears heavy armor>No warrior>Orc>The race that had the original Death Knights>No Death Knightretard
Simpsons of video games
>>695174260humans were modeled after westerners who were developmentally past it.
>>695174542people still hunt in the real world dudethey also own animals
>>695174410its amusing that teron gorefiend wasn't an orc
>>695174410>>Night Elf>>One of the race's most iconic heroes is Priestess of the MoonThe Priest class in WoW is (used to be) themed around the Holy Light, which the Night Elves don't worship.>>Another iconic hero is Warden, a melee warrior that wears heavy armor>>No warriorNot the same thing as the theme of the Warrior as portrayed in WoW. Warriors in WoW are portrayed as raging fighters, not the composed Wardens of the Night Elves with a very unique fighting style.>>Orc>>The race that had the original Death Knights>>No Death KnightThe Death Knights from Wotlk were raised during Wotlk and from the population of the Eastern Plaguelands.>>695174395Exactly, they have guns. Why would a gnome try to be a warrior when a human will do it better? And if humans get their guns from the dwarves - and have no close connection to nature - why bother training to become proficient hunters if they can be good at another path in life?Sure, a gnome could be a warrior and a human could be a hunter - but could they do it as good as anothe race? Or does it come to them as naturally as it does to the other races?
>>695174687Teron Gorefiend and ALL of Gul'dan's original death knights were originally Orc Warlocks who had their spirits put into slain Stormwind Knights. So they were orcs possessing undead humans.
>>695174696a priestest isn't a necessarily a priest
>>695174696>humans have no close connection to natureelaborate on this because there are humans that exist in the real world that still hunt
>>695174032Why do worgens, a race known to be able to transform from human and werewolf, only have warrior and rogue instead of all the classes from Human. Does becoming a werewolf drain them of all magic or some shit? Likewise, they're literally wolves and are therefore "naturey", why aren't they able to be hunters like regular humans? Where is the "soul" in this list besides in a soulstone up your ass.
>>695174032humans best
>>695174839he doesnt know what he's talking about, all there is to it>worgen cant be hunter because they cant okay
>>695168389Come home, white manhttps://youtu.be/h4ver0jYwck?si=ZvGQJSS9AH3Tzosy
>>695174687Well technically the Death Knights from WC2 were humans, they were corpses of humans stuffed with orc souls and necromantic energy>>695174696>The Priest class in WoW is (used to be) themed around the Holy Light, which the Night Elves don't worship.Because it wasn't feasible to portray other religions. But the race specific spells from vanilla do portray that priests of different races actually embody different faiths.>The Death Knights from Wotlk were raised during Wotlk and from the population of the Eastern Plaguelands.Not just Eastern Plaguelands, but Lordaeron as a whole. Lordaeron housed quite a few Orcs, as seen in the WC3 Human campaign
>>695174838The Priest class in WoW is themed around the Holy Light, and recently also the Void.>>695174839We're talking about WoW.>>695174861Because their Worgen curse makes them unsuitable to specialize in anything that requires finesse, due to their raging nature. Conversely, they are probably good at sneaking, so they can still be Rogues. Probably should restrict them to the Combat spec though.>>695174903Yeah>>695174909Yeah they can't because they're angry all the time and can't focus.
>>695174973>Because it wasn't feasible to portray other religions. But the race specific spells from vanilla do portray that priests of different races actually embody different faiths.Sure, but the class is still themed around the Holy Light.>>695174973>Not just Eastern Plaguelands, but Lordaeron as a whole. Lordaeron housed quite a few Orcs, as seen in the WC3 Human campaignThis is like saying that 50% of everyone in Swedish commercials should be Blacks because there's some Blacks in ghettos.
>>695174861i half remember some fuckery about the worgen being an attempt to make people immune to demonic influence, thus, no magic.
>>695175068>Yeah they can't because they're angry all the time and can't focus.>so they can also be the class thats centered around stealth and being silent, undetected, and sneak attacks >a 7 ft tall stinky smell dog man who is constantly licking his chops
>>695175068>Yeah they can't because they're angry all the time and can't focus.but that's not accurate shitter
>>695175161>>Yeah they can't because they're angry all the time and can't focus.>>so they can also be the class thats centered around stealth and being silent, undetected, and sneak attacks>>a 7 ft tall stinky smell dog man who is constantly licking his chopsWell, as I said, they should be locked out of the Assassination and Subtlety specs, and only be allowed to be Combat Rogues.
>>695175068in what way are humans in wow different than humans in real life that would make it so they couldnt be hunters?
>>695175195Yes it is, they're Worgens. They're cursed. It's part of their lore that the Night Elves are trying to help them handle their curse.
>>695174032>No Worgen Warlock>Worgen NPC's that cast Shadow spells exist all the way back in Vanilla
>>695175278I don't see how that relates to it being reasonable to expect that the few surviving Gilnean humans cursed with lycanthropy would be able to be Warlocks. How would they study this? During what time? Where?
None of you retards are considering any context. All your arguments boil down to something like:>UHHHHH PRIESTESS OF THE MOON?!?!>DURRRRRRRRR WARDENS>UUUGGGHHH VANILLA NPC CAST SAHDOW BOLT
>>695174032This is your mind on absolute race obsession.
>>695175539I've just played WoW since Vanilla, and quit immediately when it got back and never looked back (1st week of MoP).
>>695175539>>695175617When it got bad***
>>695175423Where did the random worgen living in absolute backwater forest study shadow magic? You can say this about fucking anything. Where did Gnomes learn about it? They're just engineers in the loreThey clearly have an aptitude for it, I don't see how they couldn't be. Gilneas also exists close to Dalaran, it isn't at all far fetched to believe that some of its residents studied arcane arts there before moving back to Gilneas and getting cursed
>>695175130Being centered around the light doesn't matter because of the changes made to WoW's cosmology in the last 10+ years. The Holy Light is just a primal force, its not something that's morally "good" and beings of the light like the Naaru can easily become evil in their use of it without balance. Tauren can wiled the light through worship of the sun. Goblins are able to wield the light through sheer willpower through their extreme greed. Even Undead priests can wield holy light even though channeling it is painful for them. Theres a lot of examples. Of course they stopped bothering to even try to give explanations now so theres no tangible reason that mechagnomes, nightborne, or vulpera can use it, they jsut can so they playerbase doesnt whine about it.
>>695175506the only autist here arguing is being needlessly reductive>worgen can only be warriors and rogues because I think they are angry>humans cant be hunters because they cant
>>6951740320/10 for no orc hunters and still allowing Warlocks among Orcs and Trolls when Thrall should have kept that shit banned.
tfw no tauren rogue gf
>>695167279>night elf warlocksNot too long ago during Cataclysm, the couple shendralar night elf mages got treated with great suspicion and distrust when they rejoined their people and began teaching the arcane arts once more. Some advocated for keeping them out, or even outright killing them. Seema those guys were right in the end.
>>695175747>Where did the random worgen living in absolute backwater forest study shadow magic?Vanilla wasn't very well thought out.>You can say this about fucking anything. Where did Gnomes learn about it?They're really smart.>Gilneas also exists close to Dalaran, it isn't at all far fetched to believe that some of its residents studied arcane arts there before moving back to Gilneas and getting cursedDo you have any proof that Gilneans studied in Dalaran? Also, they didn't teach people to become Warlocks.>>695175798>Being centered around the light doesn't matter because of the changes made to WoW's cosmology in the last 10+ years. Then our argument is moot because I am making an assumption that we ignore MoP and anything that followed MoP.>>695175852>>worgen can only be warriors and rogues because I think they are angryThey are>>695175852>>humans cant be hunters because they cantYeah because Night Elves and Dwarves make much better Hunters than humans. Also there's so many other life paths available for humans to choose from anyways, so there's no significant number of them ever bothering.>>695175856>0/10 for no orc hunters and still allowing Warlocks among Orcs and Trolls when Thrall should have kept that shit banned.Should've, but didn't. There's also the legacy of Orc warlocks from history.
>>695176143MoP was 12 years ago man let it go, the game changed after that. If you don't care about anything after MoP why are you still bothering to argue with half a dozen anons 12 years later?
>>695176061fbmi dont even get a worgen rogue gf
You all know deep down inside that I'm right. There's just two autists, one who plays a human hunter and one who plays a worgen warlock, who are mad because i'm rightfully pointing out that their race/class combo shouldn't exist.Now I have to go to sleep, good night.>>695176250I didn't play the game after MoP. I entered the thread because it was fun.
>>695176143>Do you have any proof that Gilneans studied in Dalaran? Ever heard of this guy?>Also, they didn't teach people to become Warlocks.Warlocks are often portrayed as former Mages that turned to Shadow/Fel magic from a desire for more power
>>695167279Game died a loooong time ago dude.
>>695176143There are still human hunter npcs in the game. Theres also human farmers and ranchers so it makes even less sense.
>>695174903God, i wish Humans were real.
>>695171543It's retarded, some of the limitations in classic are the dumest shit I've ever seenYou're telling me being unable to be an undead hunter brings more soul to the game?Get the fuck outta hereDumb bitch
>What the fuck is going on?reddit complaining about the game being built around lore + having to actually play the game and blizzard being pushovers catering to those fags. its why they dont do faction war anymore too
>>695182314>its why they dont do faction war anymore tooBFA had enough faction war garbage to last me a lifetime
>>695174032Every race should have Warrior, Rogue, and Hunter. These are universal roles, regardless of race/society.
i completely forgot this game got an expansion recentlywhat the hell happened
>>695175798>Goblins are able to wield the light through sheer willpower through their extreme greed.This is so retarded. lmaoBut kinda awesome. In a retarded way.
>>695183989nothing good, which is most of the problem
>>695176143Scarlet Crusade was using the Light in Vanilla bro, long before MoP. They commit objectively evil acts like torture and genocide of people they only THINK are undead. Their Light powers are given to them through conviction of their faith making them zealots
>>695185710>crusade is le evilOf course they wrote that.
>>695167279What's wrong with night elves being warlocks?
>>695185883whether or not it's justified is personal opinion since they were being constantly infiltrated by undead terminators who wanted to subvert their organization, but they did end up torturing innocents. and their reward? the Light blessed them because they believed in what they were doing, which is the point here
>>695186189Point is, crusade was used as a le-evil term up until the 2020s.
>>695186021night elf warlocks destroyed the fucking world, for one
>>695186251Yeah, that's why it thematically fits. They were like the first warlocks. What's the problem?
>>695168389>hear they will give alliance draeni because they want ally to have an ugly race. > like draeni! those guys in swamp of sorrows are so cool>make them pretty with male draeni having a nickelodeon sized v shaped chest.what the fuck man
>>695175798>Tauren can wiled the light through worship of the sunThe sun is a star
>>695186228ill accept the concession then since you aren't refuting the point that you made.
>>695186736>concessionWhat's that got to do with anything?
>>695174903Made for troll dick mon
>>695185710lights just an element bro. even the dreadlord leader uses light before he shapeshifts
>>695174032What is wrong with the Pandaren?
>>695188017Garbage furry race made to pander to china. >but muh brewmaster!was a fucking joke. "Hey guys what if we had a hero that was a chinese panda who drank from a keg and did fire spitting with it and knew martial arts. That'd be cool right? Make one of his lines say he's from 'Pandaria', haha."
>>695167279Either a game makes races matter or it doesn't. Races barely mattered in vanilla and it only got worse from there. Remove all racials, remove all starting zones, remove all class restrictions. Whats the point no one cares about any of it anymore.
>>695174032I'm sorry but your ideas are fucking dogshit.What would be proper soul wouldn't be restrictions but proper justifications.For example Tauren paladins are not the same as the Silver Hand human paladins, they've got their own organization and traditions separate from them. Likewise, a night elf priest does not worship the Light, but is part of an entirely different organization dedicated to Elune.I know Blizzard no longer bothers doing what should be the bare minimum, but going to the other extreme is equally retarderd.Like why the fuck should goblins only be rogues?
>>695186251>>695186352I'm still waiting for the reply to this. What other race fits the warlock class more than nelfs besides maybe orcs? Creating demons is like their thing. Nelfs should always have been warlocks. Makes more sense than fucking gnomes.
>>695188462It'd be more work for them. That's it. Druid has the least amount of races because they have custom forms, shamans have totems, paladins have mounts, etc. They might do it EVENTUALLY if the game is still alive by then, but they'll do it in the laziest way possibleOh and they DID remove the starting zones, kind of. There's this dumb ass tutorial island you can choose to do, or go to your normal zoneWoW should have leaned more into race/class bullshit. Orc Warrior's turn into Raiders or Blademasters at level 10 or w/e, only male NEleves can be druids, Forsaken can only be shadow priests, etc
>>695168024It was actually Warlords of Draenor, but go off, senpai.
>>695190259It's from Cataclysm. Which also introduced Human and Undead hunters, Tauren paladins and Dwarf shamans/mages.
