Perfect World: Genesis -- New Expansion announced!

Wow first slow musical score for the game I actually like featured on that site. If it's actually incorporated, I might turn music on in game.

Also, looks like an HA claymore/broadsword wielding class and an AA wand (maybe staff for those hopefulls) wielding class.

Obvious assumptions based on limited available information:

HA class=Seeker (they always mention the melee class of each race first)
Sword will of course be slower attack than current swords if that's the only sword-type he wields.
Paladin-type suggestions may be correct regarding this class, however if those are correct the non-class specific healing skills that have been mentioned may refer to a healing-melee class rather than a second healing type arcane class in which case Clerics may become obsolete for 5.0 farm groups as they're usually the member with lowest survivability.

AA class=Mystic
May return to the pre-psychic arcane mold of any magic weapon as in the image it's wielding a wand-like weapon and it would be kinda silly/redundant to incorporate two wand bases into game.
Multiple possibilities for this class's aspect of magic exist.
Several referenced official posts have made mention of healing skills, so, if those aren't all incorporated into the Seeker class they may also be connected to the Mystic.
Primary damage will of course be earth spells, as directly evidenced by the Wizard and the Psychic, earth spells are less directly affected by magic resistances, and if a piece of gear is missing a single resistance, over 50% of the time it's missing earth resistance.
Based on the lore that's been presented so far, if the Mystic is not a healer class, it will be a difference making booster class, either case may result in the replacement of clerics in 5aps squads, or if not replacement, a valid alternative.

Armors worn suggest new armoring instance within the game structure, though they may simply be the equivalent of the Tideborns noobie armor.

If both classes turn out to be healing/booster types, I'm absolutely clueless as to what one I'll be trying out, probably the HA/seeker based on the assumption of it's potential usefulness.

If however the Mystic turns out to be a similar-to-FW-Bard-aoe-party-booster, dependant upon the potential survivability of the class, I find that one tempting as well.

Too many choices! Too much uncertainty! PAAAANIIIIIICC! b:shocked

Sidenote: Can you bring back the nien event or make some new twice a day equivalent of it with transferable boxes to open so we can power through the first 60 or so levels of the new race? b:laugh

b:shocked I promise myself, I will not mess with Mystics. >.< Wand-Club over head.

O.O Imma be a seeker.

Ooooh, I love the big beefy armored knightish class. 'bout time there was another heavy class. Light armors are getting used by caster classes too, so it has been the rarest of the armor types.

I'll be happy if one of these classes has a stealth detection +30 buff.

go on this site and try click on 2nd button

Edit: you can preview all classes in 3D view.. INCLUDING the new classes.

o.O anybody notice the classes using tideborn hair? file hax!
wonder if this means that hair wont be class specific anymore b:dirty

Also a venomancer with a driad pet? interesting.. more pet options?

Edit: I also noticed how small the brilliant plumes seem to be on that archer... o.o

Edit again: I noticed the Venomancers weapon, could it be they are finally going to downsize patakas? or at least the way they hold them? i gotta say one of the reasons i do not use a patakas is because they look so funny.
I mean in any MMO have i seen an arcane class hold a magic staff weapon the way they do in PWI.
If this is in fact implemented i will be one happy camper.

Thanks for your detective work everyone.

Not sure I like how the classes are lookin so far. Look like, a bit more elegant Tideborn, which I hate.

With the upcoming update all of the classes look VERY similar to the tideborns (other than barbs ofc). Only difference being the TB fin ears, elf headwings and the venomancers tail/ears. Looks like this class will have a gem on their foreheads to differentiate them from humans aswell as seemingly pale skin. I also doubt their skin color options will be as extreme as the tideborns.

so dose eny one know when the expanion is coming out cos it is killing me just wating LoLb:angry ... ok that was a bit muchb:surrender

"An ancient Pan'Gu prophecy had foretold the destruction of Perfect World" lols
FW, the other not up to par yet

Do I see a likeness to a Summoner class there?

I hope the mystic will be something snazzy like a shapeshifter (Not like veno/barb, duh, but with multiple forms and with skills for each form)

mystic all the way
