Sad news for all WAR fans. Four classes and same number of racial capital cities have been removed from the game.
In an interview, Mark Jacobs, the VP and General Manager of Mythic Entertainment (formerly EA Mythic), announced why that happened and explained the situation to the public. He said that certain sacrifices had to be made for the game in time to come out at its fighting best at launch, and so the company chose to remove the things that weren't working well at present.
The classes being removed from the game are the Choppa (Greenskin), Blackguard (Dark Elf), Hammerer (Dwarf), and Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire), essentially two tanking classes and two melee DPS classes. Jacobs said that:
| Quote: | | Of all of the news in this interview, this is the worst. Having to cut these guys out, even though it’s the right decision, I am really sorry that we have to do it. I truly am. I don’t like going to the guys and telling them ‘hey sorry, we’ve got to cut these guys out. They’re just not good enough but that was what we had to do.' |

pretty sure he said only the cities are getting taken out not the classes themselves. The cities will be developed later for better quality and achieving the planned release date.

This actually feels much more noticeable in game than I think many realize. Especially since the epic pvp set can only be purchased in your races main city as it stands now.
The missing tank classes also get noticed early on when you dont have anyone to tank the bosses of public quests and have to resort to massive numbers to zerg them down. Greenskins missing the choppa class really strikes me as odd too since, lore-wise, its supposed to be the backbone of the orc army.
