Cut Warhammer Online Class Not Returning

15
Prior to Warhammer Online's recent launch, developer Mythic cut four classes and multiple capital cities out of the PC MMO. Two of those classes will be added back in December, but studio VP Mark Jacobs claims that one may be gone for good.

"One of [the remaining two] we hope to put back in," Jacobs told Eurogamer. "I can't tell you which yet, that's a surprise. We're probably going to be replacing one and putting in another class in its place. But we'll be talking about that in a few months."

With the Black Guard and Knight of the Blazing Sun classes due in a December patch, both the Dwarf Hammerer and Greenskin Choppa are still on the cutting room floor.

"There will still be four going back in, it just won't be necessarily the same four," Jacobs asserted. "We're not going to put it in just so we can go 'see guys, we put it back in.' If it's not great, it doesn't belong in the game."

    Doesn't sound like they aren't retuning as much as changing the line up. Seems like theres still going to be 4 class just one isnt going to be from beta.

      Headline is very misleading. On first glance, I thought it meant ALL cut classes.

        How is it misleading? It's one class (note the singular use of class), and that particular class will indeed not return.

          It's still a poor headline but for the most part that is typical here. Something along the lines of "Cut Warhammer Online Class Being Replaced" would have been better but it wouldn't have had the shock value I'm sure you were going for.
