Sep. 24, pw2 will be released in CN (official news), updating

If the new race is Fire Element then they would benefit from genie spark skill like wiz, let's hope they don't have mdef debuff skill like wiz undine or cleric's/ms', if they have their own fire debuff then together with a wiz will make both op >_<

Saethos - Raging Tide

It was going on about how the new caster has control abilities...Are BMs gettting left behind from a new race again? First the tideborn to make people want the sins to stunlock, then the seeker making people want seekers to kill their targets before they need to be stunned, now this to make it have crowd control from a distance...Please tell me I'm misunderstanding something...

I really wanted to pick up whatever the melee class would be, but melee LA is so useless in TW b:cry

the casters seems good tho, move while channeling is very useful

hope for more details, I wanna play one of these classes but me no likey useless b:surrender

ikr.

Do sort of wonder what kind of passive defense this new class will get though since the reason sins can survive like they do in LA is tidal+deaden+stealth.

So this new race... OP dmg output (sin got it), quickly reach enemie (sin got it), more quickly (sin got it), instant moving (sin got it) avoid range attack skill (new race's Tidal?)

This new LA race seems like it will nerf archer's and posibly casters even more, fml... stupid game balance between classes completly broken and as usual, crushing archers QQ

attackerv ain't it like a lot of QQ on PWCN about archers being half useless on endgame pvp nowadays? Just curious as I don't understand a word in chinese

I don't like QQ. In pwcn, archer is a dominate class on endgame ( mean 2 awaken nuema set card). Many ppl QQ archer in pwcn just because gear gap.

yes, pwcn(same pwi) is nerfing archer. u can see primary skill nerf archer ( nerf auto att, which archer do most ), new resource pot nerf archer ( nerf criti att, which archer and sin do most).

im far from endgame cuz it needs huge gold for nuema set in pwi, unsaying 2 awaken them.

but im one of close to endgame archer in RT.

I don't pvp too much, but it seems fine to me in group pvp like NW/TW. Gear is always most important factor in pwi pvp. Number+gear >>>>> skill, class, et al

but 1 vs 1 , archer won't be on the good place if similar gear.

anyway, i don't care what they change, i just figure out how closer to endgame b:chuckle

So we're getting another sin-like class or something? GG

The whole reason people QQ about sins is aps/tidal/deaden/stealth.

Aps is available to almost all classes, deaden isn't that big of a deal and barbs have it too. Tidal and stealth are the only two main problems why sins are hard to kill. Have you read anywhere the new class is getting Tidal or Stealth too? Nope, just a focused mind-lookalike which doesn't affect melee skills, and the other descriptions tells the class won't get stealth either, but movement skills.

New LA + melee class doesn't mean new sin. Remember the posts about EG release and mystics vs clerics? "AA+heals = cleric v2, gg pwi", yet it became a whole unique class.

Thankfully the creativity at Wanmei is a lot better than the community hereb:shutupb:bye

your endgame is 2 awaken nuema sets.... how the hell does people pay/play in china? O.O in Pwi we roughly have 2 - 3 nuema sets that I'm aware Off O.O Wow

Happens same as Harshlands here I guess, many complete endgame archers causing people to QQ, when archer's are in the tail of power just because they heavily outgear xD

Interesting point of view, ty for the feedback ^^

I'll just asume we'll be more nerfed in the near future, QQ

Narcillatrix - Dreamweaver

I just hope these new classes can offer something different to the game. If they are just another copy/paste class everyone is going to start looking the same in terms of abilities, rendering the point of different classes moot and boring...

The fact that they are investing in PWI in America by hiring these people is great news actually. So long people have been complaining about lack of communication in the development between PWI in the US and China. Maybe by bringing some of that talent to PWI the team will help a lot with the issues associated with porting content updates and expansions from China to PWI North America. Perhaps better communication and better testing and maybe even conveying ideas from the player base with the devs as well. That's pretty optimistic but at least its something to consider for the time being.

He said in TW, which is true. Sins are pretty much the least desirable class in TW.

Deaden is hugely OP on barbs too. Actually, it's worse on barbs. The main reasons sins are hard to kill are tidal, stealth and endless chi/control. As an archer, I end up kiting and blowing resources hoping I don't get myself 1shot by a dex based class that got zerk because yolo.

New LA + melee would need def/control out the **** unless you want to see them getting halfshot by everything.

Also, lol @ Wanmei supposedly being creative. Have you taken even a cursory glance at Mystic/Psy skills?

FaceRolI - Sanctuary

sanctuary has a very small population of endgame sins. dont think we even have 1 thats +12 JOSD and up to date on cards.

Depends on the guilds fighting and the sins in question, tbh.

Lol @ overreading the essential parts. It was Wanmei being more creative than this community, not that Wanmei is the modern Van Gogh or something. But with what you said, you can imagine how low this community stoops b:victory

freygin

Are Tideborn and Earthguard the products from the developer before Archosaur Studio ? or they picked up what Archosaur Studio left off before leaving wanmei at that time ?

Sins are very much OP and dangerous even with aps gear, can pop out out of nowhere with IG and do the finishing kill once our genie/apoth are in cooldown/regen, or force us to use genie/apoth and be vulnerable for his gank, but then again that's why they're called Assassin or else it doesn't fit the class description, but it's very annoying.

Jadsia - Lost City wrote: »

If that's true I'll pick one as my second main, everyone made sin class before morai usually for doing a surprise payback after being killed, still useful in some situation even after morai skills , later it'll be the time for this new class to pay it in full for those sins. But if this class is a sin in steroid, I'll RQ b:chuckle

Any news yet on the battle system ? Arcade like, skillshots, what do they mean by that ? Is it like aiming with a mouse and no target lock, **** and slash like Dynasty Warriors or what ?

10) new version will increase def

And about new version will increase def, pdef or mdef or both ? passive buff already give quite a lot.

Narcillatrix - Dreamweaver

*Takes a stab in the dark* I think the Tideborn were a part of the original team's plan? At least the idea of them. I could be wrong but I feel like i heard that somewhere a long time ago. Not sure about the Earthgaurd.

Blaaaah I wanna know more about the new class's skills.

Guys, look! They changed the main page of their website and even added new classes' stats :0

Moon fairy's stats are almost same with Wizard :0

Looks like you guys can finally put the new game vs expansion speculation to rest. It's an expansion ...

The announcement made in China is essentially the expansion we should be getting sometime near the end of the year. (We'll get it, but it won't be ready until next year at the earliest)!

That's really interesting! I expected something entirely different, but this is not bad.

I'm not going to try out the new classes when they come out (especially if they have horns like in the artwork) but it'll be interesting to see them in action. b:chuckle

... So not what I expected the 'Moon Fairy' to hold her scythe like. o_o Looks like a Seeker, kind of.

I remember one of the Earthguard artworks depicted a Mystic with horns, and they didn't turn out like that at all in the end, did they?
So confusing, still, for a 'race' apparently shown everywhere with them.
