Excellent article. While I was doing my first DK just for the heck of it I was VERY impressed and talking to a friend about everything I was doing, and she was so excited to get WotLK to try it out for herself.

Currently, I’m begging for a Demon Hunter/Warden mixed new class with Maeiv as the “leader”, the introduction quests would explain what she did after Illidan’s defeat, and how she mixed her Warden abilities with things she learned during her capture to take the best abilities of a demon hunter.

[...] will the new hero class be? World of Matticus has a good series of guest posts about it. As Lodir pointed out, the starting zone for DKs was awesome. Sure – not [...]

I really enjoy the Death Knight starting quests, though after running five or six Knights through it I’m starting to grow weary of the whole thing.

I think Blizzard is going to have a hard time topping that for their next Hero class, but we’ll see! I’m still interested in finding out what sorta plans they have for this aspect of the game.

I’m no lore junkie in WoW, but I have to say that the DK starting area is what made my DK become my first 80. It was so well done that I actually wanted to quest and play that character, which hasn’t happened before and has not happened since.

My hope is that the next expansion doesn’t make a single class or race have such a unique experience, but rather, the whole of questing and storytelling is revamped to make it this immersive.

I haven’t played the DK starting zone yet — I feel like I may be the last person NOT to do so — but I plan on it. I’m not a ‘lore junkie’ but I am a sucker for good storyline quests. I think they’ve done a great job in Wrath with creating many interesting storylines. I hope it’s something they continue with moving forward, not just with the next ‘hero class’, but throughout the game.

@ cozy , he’s the elected leader of the entire Alliance Forces. Makes perfect sense.

A small correction – you say that as a Death Knight, you’re sent to beg forgiveness from your faction leader.

Depends on how you read this, but as a dwarven DK, why was I going to talk to Varian Whine? I’d have much preferred to have gone and grovelled to Magni.

Just my 0.02p.

Thanks to you all for an interesting blog.

Crucial and hardest thing is to make the class innovative. Being powerful and or balanced is fine, but the only reason to add another class is if it is really different to play. It needs a new mechanic that is fun and works with other classes.

I’m sure Blizzard will come up with some hugely impressive stuff. Personally I’m hoping that they invent a few new hero classes too – I don’t see why they should be restricted to picking the ones they had in WC3. Plus, I’d love to see 2 new hero classes in the next expansion, maybe one for Alliance and one for Horde or one healing class and one DPS. Would be nice

@Wangari Agree, but that is a topic for another post =D
