Warden Hype= 2 months of 90% player base as wardens

Title says it all. ZOS is hyping up wardens with every bit of strength that they have. It is obvious they are going to be FOTM and OP when they come out. Get ready for 90%+ of the player base playing them when they are released.

    I'm hype alright, hype to hunt anyone down using this class and stomp on them. Each and every class has its weaknesses and if this class is OP I'll have fun exposing people who follow the meta route instead of leading :)

    Probably, but it'll die out after a month when...

    -Fotm pvp rerollers realize that it's not an op pvp class...at all.

    -PvE dps rerollers realize that Wardens aren't the best at dps

    -Solo'ers realize that Wardens are very support and group focused.

    -Templars realize that they're still better healers

    When the dust settles, it'll be me and the few other people who really want this class for what it is. Especially if you're like me and have been waiting for Wardens since release.

    Well it's their product and if they are going to spend money in marketing why wouldn't they promote Warden to their highest capabilities? Have any of you played for a long time? About time they made a new class, can't wait. As for newer players, you have more class options now; toss a coin. And lol @kevlarto_ESO

    Why wouldn't people try out the new class? The OP is just a desperate cry for attention.

    There is a high chance that I won't buy the Morrowind upgrade.
    ZOS is ignoring it's player base and continues to nerf all current classes.
    Also, many old bugs are not fixed.
    Base Game & DLCs may be enough for me :)
    Buying Morrowind is not a must.

    I'll make a khajiit and argonian warden (only two races I haven't used yet), park them by the stable and start using them once their mounts reach around 20 speed or so...or, until there's another 2xp event...

    Yes, I find it utterly shocking that

    1) an MMO company would drum up anticipation for a new class, and
    2) lots of players would likely try/play that new class when it's released.

    Shocking. Totally unprecedented in MMO history. Obviously a sign of conspiracy.

    that's the nature of new things in games

    it's literally the same for anything else that's new; 90% of people who buy morrowind will flock to the new zone and content, 90% of people checked out the changes in some way when one tamriel came out, 90% of people who bought wrothgar flocked there when it came out

    it's the same in any game. when the engineer update for TF2 came out, you'd see teams of engineers using the gunslinger and frontier justice, when overwatch added sombra, you'd literally have teams of sombras against each other

    big shocker, when something new and exciting gets added to a game, people want to enjoy it

    They were in beta. Plus, I knew a class using ice was the missing link. It was bound to happen and I remember making threads about it and getting told they'd never come and I was a fool for thinking so.

    Jokes on them.

    They aren't OP. If you play on the PTS, you will see Wardens are pretty darn balanced right now. No reasons to just stop playing other classes.

    last two games i remember besides Rift that added new classes that i also played was EQ and EQ2 (sorry cant comment on WoW, never played it).

    EQ and EQ2 both introduced beastlords and EQ2 introduced channeler's. And i still play those classes as my main. It's normal to hype up a new class, get people to consider it and if they dont like it. No big deal IMO.

    I was waiting on this since release it reminded me of a druid/beastlord from previous game. So can't wait.
