Anyone else have a guess as to the unselectable class icon during BWE3? The icon had all sorts of weapons on it, so probably some sort of melee class.

Ya, i'd guess some sort of archer. You can't have a fantasy setting in a game w/o a dude with a bow.
I'm really just looking forward to all the ones they choose to release and wondering how many character slots and classes I'll be able to buy to fill up a nice roster.
Some time ago a screenshot was posted with a character holding a bow. A dev (h2orraty) confirmed that it was an Archer Ranger, albeit a companion, but that the player class was "in the works." That was before BW1 (back when you could count the forumites on your fingers and toes) - so it's safe to assume they've been working on it at least here and there since then.
I'm hoping the next to come is the Warlock, personally. But I think more people are probably looking forward to the Ranger.
That was my conclusion also. It was a little irksome though, I was playing a clothie so I wanted to wear those items!
"Coming soon" and kick you back to your mama's womb !
Or "Coming soon" and snore hard just after !

... sorry.
And yet Truth has already commented that the first ranger appearance will be a melee ranger.
You also know that Archer Ranger files have been datamined from the core files, right?
I haven't seen anything that suggests a melee ranger is being worked on, nor have I seen this comment you speak of.
Saw warlock spells, and what I assume are the other 2 cleric paragon powers (at-will/enc/daily) but I honestly don't remember seeing archer powers.
IKR? Seemed like I was getting more of those than stuff for my CW:D.

A great many people think "Ranger" and "Two-Handed Fighting" since the perk was a prominent feature of the build.
Even in 3.x Rangers had to choose between going the archery route, or the traditional two weapon style route. You're entire build revolved around that initial decision. The ranger retained proficiency with the other styles weapons, so they could use both, but mechanics wise it was bad move because your main style would be hampered pretty badly.
Even if you went archery style, in the 3.x systems you could make a better archer easier by rolling a dex fighter.
To the topic at hand, I'm still hoping for ranged based classes to be more controller/dot oriented rather than strikers. Most games mix up the control type abilities with the damage dealing abilities as it is, with melee still doing more damage (the whole risk vs reward thing). Range dps vs melee dps would then become a point of contention and balance would go back and forth for everyone. However now, if they're focused as a controller, then their abilities can be clearly purposed and it doesn't harm the mdps classes. Controllers still do good damage.
I would so drop $200 if I knew Warlock was confirmed to be a class at launch.
But, since 3.5 warlock can wear also medium armour (leather, even a chain shirt), so why so you think all the cloth items are for warlocks ?
