Zarhym: Death knight tier 13 coming «next week if we can»
Yo, death knights. Chill. [hide]Zarhym[/hide]’s got this.
It’s no secret that the artists at Blizzard put a lot of effort and creativity into creating unique tier pieces for every class. It’s a time-intensive process. But for death knights, it’s been an uncomfortably long wait. After all, [hide]each[/hide] [hide]and[/hide] [hide]every[/hide] [hide]other[/hide] [hide]class[/hide] [hide]had[/hide] [hide]an[/hide] [hide]official[/hide] [hide]preview[/hide] of their [hide]tier 13[/hide] set by the end of September.
Well, it turns out there was a good reason for that wait. Death knight tier 13 was completed «weeks ago,» but because the finished product wasn’t up to Blizzard’s standard of quality, the original idea was scrapped and a new concept was conceived — or so said Blizzard Community Manager [hide]Zarhym[/hide] last night via [hide]Twitter[/hide] and on the [hide]official Blizzard forums[/hide]:
DK tier 13 revealed at blizzcon?
I’ll give you a bit of the lowdown on why the death knight set hasn’t come out yet, even in the 4.3 PTR files third-party sites are looking through. As with all sets, a concept art piece was done for death knight tier 13. When that was translated to the actual in-game look, we felt it wasn’t up to par with the concept, and ultimately wasn’t nearly at the quality level of the other tier 13 sets. But, that death knight set was completed weeks ago.

Zarhym (who is totally welcome to come to next week’s [hide]WoW Insider Reader Meetup[/hide] and buy me a drink) says that Blizzard would «love» to post it next week, but with [hide]BlizzCon 2011[/hide] starting Friday, that may not be a possibility. I’m sure that few people will be happy having to wait another week (or longer) to get a look at death knight tier 13. But ultimately, I think they’ll be glad that Blizzard didn’t rush to implement a substandard product just to beat a nonexistent deadline.[hide]Continue reading Zarhym: Death knight tier 13 coming «next week if we can»[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Blizzard[/hide], [hide]News items[/hide], [hide]Death Knight[/hide], [hide](Death Knight) Lichborne[/hide][hide]Zarhym: Death knight tier 13 coming «next week if we can»[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:00:00 EST.
