New Hero Classes

[Jao]

will Wulven introduce new Hero classes in the future? They've already introduced new heroes, something Wulven previously said it wouldn't do (iirc).

i so much want Druids for Humans and Necromancers for Shadow (Gravebone can be reclassed as a Necromancer and they can create a new Shadow Mage)

make it happen Kyle!

This offer is very likely to get declined mostly because you want to reclass Gravebone...

They definitely wouldn't re-class any old heroes, but new classes would be cool for the future. Problem would be how to give them enough cards, as all existing classes would be at least three sets ahead.

Exactly. If there will be new classes, this changes a lot of balancing. Also these new classes need things what are special for them or better something like a theme like boosting allies, weapon based and so on. This might be hard to find a new class that will be different from the classes allready existing. Also making a class will probably result in a huge card pool only for these in one expansion...Like a expansion ONLY for the new classes.

So my prediction: Nope there won't be a new class, cause of balancing issues.

Disagree

IMO adding new hero class required less balancing effort compared to add more cards to existing hero class.

I will use Tribe as an analogy to explain this.
On SF we allready have some decent number of Twilight cards. Adding 20 more Twilight on the next expansion its harder to balance compared to make 20 Elves cards (new tribe).


To avoid power creep, DT can keep adding new tribe. But at some point, they would need to add a new Hero Class to avoid game stagnancy and players boredom.
example: a new expansion, 100 cards, introducing human Druid and shadow Necromancer with 2 different hero for each class (total 4 new hero). each got about 50 new hero class cards. they still can use old shadow/human/neutral cards from previous expansions.

If they decide to make it 200 cards expansion, there still 100 cards slot left for shadow, human, neutral, and old hero class card.

I like the idea of new classes. Adds more variety than simply adding new heroes to existing classes.

I'm not sure how I feel about them coming out with more and more and more and more heroes, though. Past a certain point, it'll become pretty unwieldy.

New classes for sure imo in the future!If the game want grow it needs to explore new classes for next sets

i dont really need new classes but i would like some dark priests and rogues... possibly even some reformed wulven and some elementals of the light.

What about a new faction? I'm not entirely how that could work or if it could, but seems interesting.

Would also be very interesting, but what would it even be I wonder, if such a thing were possible? We've got Human and Shadow, what third or further sides could there possibly be?
