In the future chapter, as new profession for every new chapter will start over crowd the whole thing, it would seem feastible to have a chapter where player can play as a new race, with its own core profession. That means this new race will NOT be able to play as a warrior, instead have its own Warrior-like class (which the humans can not access to).
This keep the freshness of playing as new race and new profession, while keeping the human class cleaner. Also it make it easier for balancing (As it is new), and enable the racial difference with out making it cookie-cutting. (meaning you would not see all Warrior Orc, but just that Orc Warrior-type will be less tanker-ish and more attacker-ish)
Some possible "Alternative" core class might be:
- Warrior - Fencer - Berserker - Defender
- Elementalist - Maji - Astral Mage - Sage
- Ranger - Hawker - Stalker - Hunter
- Mesmer - Mimic - Jester - Psionic
- Necromancer - Warlock - Deathdealer - Witcher
- Monk - Priest - Healer - Druid
So, do you think a future chapter with such system will be feastible and popular?
