Old classes need a little make-up

So, since QQing about the old classes being underpowered compared to the new ones has been already done, here's a little idea I think it's worth considering:

The new classes not only introduce new game mechanics (whether we like that or not), but also look better than the old ones. It's quite obvious: they were developed later, therefor they get better skill animations and graphics.

Compared to the mystics, sins and psychics, the old classes look kinda meh. I know it's quite superficial, but if we can't get to be balanced with the new classes (which I understand being impossible), can at least our graphics get a little upgrade? b:laugh

    Agreed :)

    Though I gues it would be hard to revamp the graphics of the chars, since they already exist.

    Also if they manage to do so the chars will probably look slightly off, this could cause massive QQ amongst players.. unless they give out free make-over scrolls (which imo isn't neccesary seeing it only costs 1k dragon points, and lower lvl players who can't farm dq-points will get a free make-over scroll at lvl 28 anyway)

    Tbh I like the fact that the old classes look so much more unique... There's a lot more customization options you have for them. More hairstyles, option for lipcolour, options for make-up. Almost all tideborn look the the same imo b:surrender

    I wouldn't mind if they didn't revamp the graphics of the old classes. Maybe make the hair a bit more detailed... but further I wouldn't mind.
    The skill animations however could use a massive upgrade. Staring at my venomancer casting different skills with different effects... all in the same pose, all skills look the same, just a different colour. The skills of my psy who is lvl 30 look more exiting already D:

    Anyway, hope they will give some love to the older enviroments, and skill animations of the old classes after the expansion :) ^-^

    A long time ago I had suggested a "multiclass system" where you can upgrade your class and get better skills (for example a cleric could become a Bishop or a Paladin or w/e), however at this point I know it's not going to happen...though it would still be cool >_>

    As for revamping the look of the current classes and their skills, I don't think it's necessary to make skills even more flashier just to be on "par" with the newer classes. However the look of the avatar itself could use an upgrade and perhaps the graphics be a bit "softer"? (couldn't think of another word)

    But it's only a dream, doubt it would happen b:surrender

    IF they pgraded the graphics thered be no issue for people who got fuglified by it.

    ?Theyd simply need to enable the edit funtion on char select for say a week. IF you dont use it then, sucks, go buy a scroll. Or grind DQ for it.
