Probably not this week, but almost definitely next week. By sapience
We were promised some dev diaries, when are we getting them? Apologies if this is badly laid out, still trying to get the hang of my new iPhone.

Almost definitely does not mean promise. Just sayin'

The week isn't over yet;-)

Actually, the "almost definetly" is the scary part of that statement. I am sure that this past weekends issues have pushed a few things back a little bit, but like I said, the week isn't over yet. I figure we will see something by Thursday.

Dev Diaries tend to come out on Thursdays. Not always, but usually.
Tuesday isn't over yet. They still have until like 5 PM to release one today.

The week just started!

We usually publish developer diaries on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There will not be one today, however we'll make it up to you by publishing one tomorrow and another on Thursday.

I'll even throw you a bone and let you know they are both class update developer diaries.

Have fun with that.

I'm in a giving mood so I'll even let you know I currently have 5 developer diaries (The two I mentioned plus three more) and the first set of rough patch notes for our next update currently being edited. I see lots of player suggestions in both the class changes and the release notes.

Zomg! I hope that includes our mountains of suggestions pertaining to LIs. But can't wait to see the class updates. Crossing fingers for Champ!

If you were in a really giving mood you would tell us which classes the diaries are for. I'm willing to send bribes of pie...

Well now that would depend on what kind of pie? I mean, telling you that tomorrow you'll be getting the ________ Developer Dairy has to be worth Pumpkin pie!

What if we sent along some Cool Whip as well? We all know pie tastes better with cool whip!

I'd say Death Knight and Paladin. Or was it Jedi Knight and Imperial Marine?

If it's something I've said here then it's public, so yes.

Also, you guys dissapoint me, I thought you were all much quicker than that. You really should LOOK at what I said.

I highlighted the underline in your above post but didn't see anything there

Hmm, I'll buy an i (And luckily you've never done the whole dev diary with _._._/_._._......)

I'd like to but an e please Sapience.

I'm taking a wild guess one is Lore-master, purely based on this:

DevPostsInClassForums-2010.jpg

And I'm hoping the other is Burglar, but I'm not holding my breath.

Beleg, Lore-master was updated recently. And who knows, holding your breath sometimes pays off!

_i____e_

Two vowels for you.

They just revisited the Lore-master and Rune-keeper classes with the November update. The next update is too soon for any further mass changes.

Edit: Doh! Sapience beat me to it. Oh well...

(better then guessing a vowel can I guess the name? if so see below)
I guess that the first class is the minstrel. (your _I____E_ gave it away, minstrel is the only class that can possibly have those two letters in that combination)

second class now, please let one of the letters be an A

Minstrel!

Oh, wait...

Hmm...

What is Minstrel?

Thank you

So, I guess Wardens will be last again. Man, I shoulda never rolled one. Why did I have to fall in love with the class that never gets any love?

I dunno, Wardens are pretty buff as it is - remember that having a class looked at does not mean positive changes only.

What love does the class need? All wardens would like some sort of update... but when you try to actually lay out the changes you find its very difficult to buff, nerf, or even add anything to the class that's both needed and wouldn't completely break the class.

Also, how many Turbine Points does each letter cost? I am interested in purchasing some letters.

I just had this thought, If you LOOK at his post, that is a dev diary on a class. Now yes that really does mean a class diary, But here is my thought and thought process.

1. But he also mentions that there are 5 dev diaries so far.
2. We know that two classes will be updated, sapience never said that these two coming tomorrow and Thursday were the only class ones to be posted.
3. He also never clarified if these dev dairies were for the next update or for the expansion.
4. We also know that there is an expansion coming as well.
5. What if _I___E_ isn't the minstrel
6. If point 5 was correct then what is it?

so the thought is, (which also was inspired by Macfeast saying "what is minstrel" even if he was joking.) is: what if it is a new class that sapience is saying? or about to tell us, he did this game with the new volume name, why not with the new class? Now this thought could be wrong if sapience posts the answer that it is the minstrel while I was typing this, but if he says nope, think for a moment then. I might be right. right?

I'm guessing the next class is the __a__i_n?

Macfeast you might be right, but I think the next one is:

__r__a_

I agree with that.

Seems like the Mini, Burg, and maybe hunter/champ are the classes that have gone longest without a significant update.
