    I think the Tideborn will be a little less fish-like as you guys are all expecting, i mean, walking on water, water based attacks, fish mounts, etc. I think the psychics and assasians will be a little more like what their name implies, kind of like how a barbarian has to do with strong attacks and tanking. I think the assasians will be kind of like a melee archer, fast attacks, good crits and so on. I think they might use swords/fists/claws/new weps. Psychics could be more magic based then you guys are thinking. They could use magic weapons and do stuff like predict what the enemy is going to do next, and counter attack, or they could use Psychokinesis. Maybe as a passive ability for the race, water based mobs would do less damage to them, or something like that.

    I think it would be cool to be kind of atlantis-like, kind of like they once had a city but it got wiped out in pan gu's floods, and the remaining survivors adapted to the water, and they have a city underwater someplace, or, if you look at the map in game, you can see some places shaded, and at the bottom the a place that stretches out, maybe they will add new land, and the TB will be on land.

    As for aerogear, they dont neccesarily have to fly, they could ride some kind of land mount around, from a quest, but it would be awesome to ride one of these: http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk8/chetterbox1992/fantasy/bestiary/phoenixes/Water_Phoenix_by_ShadowDragon22.jpg. And maybe the undines around Plume would be like mutated TBs caused by something in the water.

    Maybe they could have an alternate form, like a mermaid/man thing that triggers when you go in the water as a TB. The alt. form could be faster than everyone else and do more dmg to water enemies.

    I think we're overlooking the obvious. there are elves and venomancer enemies, looks like we might already have our tideborn oin thewater and not realizing it.

    This is true, but aren't they all named "elf" and "venomancer"?

    Can someone give out a specific time that the expansion will be released? Like the month that we will get it or a time period other than just the future. I'm not a psychic but kind of interested in playing one.

    Aren't we all... ...okay, no, I'm more interested in Assassin instead of Psychic, but anyway--

    I think the GMs are contractually obligated to keep any information such as a release date under wraps. Either that, or the developers/higher-ups have yet to pass down the information on when the Tideborn are coming. All we've got now is a tease, and we only have that by the grace of The Almighty Upper Management.

    As much as I'm looking forward to figuring out what an Assassin class can do... we gotta wait. At least talking about them can be entertaining...?

    There have already been quotes on how they made the 3 original races. The gear and clothing is adaptable between the 3 & leaving very little necessity for re-modelling. There would be so much fashion (including unreleased) and gear needing new models if they arent simply similar to the original 3 races with just color/shading differences, or plopped on fins (a-la elf head feathers). Sorry, but i think anyone expecting a nice change in appearance will be sadly dissappointed.

    Here is some screenshots of the Tideborn area south of dreamweaver port. You need to have your distance set on max to be able to see it.

    if thats an assasin's weap, that would be a bit odd o.O would be cool, but odd... and if whips/staves are implemented, i certainly hope they make some TT versions of it, so far it seems that there are only normal ones, no legendaries either

    whips make sense for venos but odd for every other class.

    The last assasin type character i played on a game had a mix of melee and ranged attacks (which would rock). Was also the fastest character in the game with a self buff that incresed movement speed as well as attack (that would be a cool party buff). Did use claws and only claws. Had the ability to set AOE traps. Also was able to use a cloak skill to sneak up on enemies. Also used what was called charge up skills that you would use to build up specific energy type then release it with a different attack. I think anything even close to that would be an awsome character. As for the Physic never played anything like it. Want to try both of them out as soon as possible.

    These type of class come from the Western culture. Although there are similar concept in Eastern it is not the same. So I don't think it will fit in with the culture of the game.
