Sadly the Deathknight class is probably never gonna happen since this expansion ruined the opportunity for that. I still have hope that Scholomance or Ebon hold will be an expansion that brings deathknights as a class. The Ebon hold could be like "The invasion of the Scarlet Crusade".
" magic the gathering needs another colour... HOW ABOUT PURPLE?!"
You'd rather they make all the Death Knight stuff focused into one class than have every class have something interesting and new like a Death Knight alternate? You have no taste in card diversity, do you? This expansion didn't ruin anything. The fact that you would even sully this expansion with thoughts of ruin just tells me you only want for yourself something that's better off split the way it is. This is not only better than an entirely "new" class, it's different, and the creation of a new class would take longer, I think.
You don't deserve anything new.
Keep in mind, this is the first expansion that hosts a full card set, a free adventure, AND a few other goodies. The theme is rich, pays homage to a much loved story in Warcraft history. Going back, you said this expansion has to be "insanely good because none of the following ones will have that hype bonus"? It's already brought enough with one presentation that most people are already fine with it and not affected by any hype.
It'll be fine, dude. There's really no reason to be bummed.
So... if you play the deathcard and your hero is either one of the alternate heroes Medivh/Khadgar/Aleria/Liandrin/Tyrande/Maiev/Magni/Morgl when you use that card they become an undead version of the basic hero. Which is a bummer cause I wanted to see the undead version of the alternates :/
I think this is the first time since they announced Old Gods that I've actually been excited for a new expansion in Hearthstone. I am hyped to see if the Hero card you get for completing the prologue is set in stone or if it will be random.
Would be alt-DK-heroes for all alt-hero-faces?
( probably not, but I hoping for this :c )
Exactly same thing we've been talking with a friend. It'll be great that you hero class card will adapt to the skin of your actual hero
now we need just to wait for hearthcards to update and we'll be making our own hero-cards :D
Wait, since each hero will have the opportunity to transform into an evil (DK) version of themselves... what will happen with Gul'Dan?
I mean, he was already evil enough in the first place, now will he become a good guy by double negation?
Or, on the contrary, he will become super-duper-evil?
He's Evil, but he's not dead. BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!
Looking at the artwork he grows wings. I'm not sure what use they are or whether it has any influence on his 'goodness', but its something I suppose
Wow, doube class legendaries again.
