Eyonix has been hard at work manning the General Forum today, offering up information as to the ideas and goals behind the big annoucement today. We took some time to compile them all into a nice little package for you that you can get to by clicking the link at the bottom of this news post. Here’s a snip to whet your appetite:
In terms of game design, one of the options it opens up is for specific classes in dungeon encounters. We already have several encounters that highlight the abilities of a single class or make use of a classes specific abilities. Shaman and Paladins in the previous design could not participate in such encounters. If killing a creature required a Shaman, the Alliance could never beat the encounter and vice versa. This change allows the two classes to bring their own abilities into a situation which may highlight their class as an integral part of the encounter.
As more information is posted, I will update this thread and bump it to the top of the news so keep checking back with us!
