Adding new attributes instead of new classes?

Always.

I said they need to attract NEW players. Old ones that actually care about more skills, etc, will likely buy the chapter anyway. New players who don't even know the old classes won't care if they get an extra attribute or a couple more skills.

Based on what has been said its hard to know if they'll keep a core 6 as the core after NF being they said these 3 games were like a trilogy and end in NF*Please no more mehlo after NF*

We arnt talking elements as in what its composd of (again that would work better as a chemist class) We are talking nature elements.

As far as warriors, they are built to be big and make heavy strikes. Polearms need agility and precision, which dont match the warrior character in our game. Just like guns wont work with Rangers. Sure they are a ranged weapon, but it just doesnt fit the class. You wouldnt give hand to hand combat to monks just because they are called monks would you?


That doesnt even make sense

Er... Are you thinking of staffs rather than polearms? Because polearms (i.e. lances, halberds, pikes, etc) are not weapons that require agility and precision to weild. Their primary use is against cavalry, either by infantry troops (front rows set the butt of their polearms into the ground forming a spikey fence to impale the horses as they crash through the line, for example) or by horsemen who need the greater reach of the polearm from their mounted position.

It sounds like you're thinking of bo staffs and the like, which are not polearms.

Lady

Polearms were made to increase the momentum and striking power of Axes and hammers.

Warriors already have strong hitting axes and hammers, so the weapons not only would adding useless skill trees to weapon types they already have, it would make the class unbalanced. Which is why they weapon would be givin to another class that has less armor.


You really need to think what it will do to the game as a whole and not think "OMG IT WOULD B COOL IF IT HAD THIS!!!"

This would be directly in conflict with Guild Wars stated concept of no additional content in chapters that makes you uncompetitive in PVP.

Begins to make things too complex. It can be hard enough trying to set things up so that they're balanced and you've spread out your att's evenly, but if they do this instead of new professions then you end up at a disadvantage, as you can either be a jack of all trades, with only 4-6 in each attribute, or 12+ in 1 or 2, which could then render you vulnerable.

Only realy way in which this would work as a permanent thing for each new chapter is they gave more attribute points, and i don't see that happening, thus /not signed

Adding a new attribute line does not automatically make people without it less competitive in PvP. If by the same logic, people who only owns the first chapter will continually be at a further disadvantage as we get new skills with each new chapter anyways.

I hope they are doing something similar to my idea for campaign 4; maybe the "delay" is because of that

I think that this skill is more suitable for a Warlock than Necromancer. Demons aren't dead.
And you can have Leeloo as your hero .
Better suited for a Warlock.

I would like to have new proffesions and not new attributes.

Imbalance in guild wars, it is an ok idea but I wouldn't like it to be done

I don't think it could be done in the way the game currently is.
Ragnarok online has more than 30 classes, class number is not a problem, XD.

I would also like a little different thing: evolving classes.

You make a second ascension and:

- Your Warrior turns into a Knight, and can learn two handed swords and axes skills...
- Your Elementalist turns into a Wizard and can learn combined elements skills (like Lion's Comfort using Strength and Tactics, skillsusing Fire and Water, or Air and Water, etc...).
- Your Necromancer turns into a Dark Mage

Instead of altering the current classes, new classes would be added, but you don't create characters with those classes, you have to make the older ones, and then you evolve them.

The prerequisite to become one of those classes could be learning at least X non-elite and Y elite skills of its primary profession.

And the 'evolved class' skills could be only available for those with the 'second ascension' granted.

This could be made once there are too many normal classes, that is, about 15-16 of them.

Excuse me, but Guild Wars is not World of Warcraft, nor Ragnarok, nor Lineage.

And adding new attributes don't unbalance game, you can have a class with hundreds of attributes; doesn't matter when you can use only 2 o 3 because limited attribute points.

this definetely sounds like a good idea
