As a fellow barb i feel like barbs are really under rated because we have the ability to choose to be a wolf/panda/tiger/lion but we can only go into tiger form... which i feel is dumb. I think pwi should focus on barbs for a sec to bring them back because the barb population is decreasing every year. Barb's should be able to change into the form of there class for example if there a wolf they turn into a wolf when they shape shift, I meen it only makes sense. And to add a little twist to it they can have it to where each diffrent type of barb has a diffrent effect in they shape shifting form. I feel like this is somthing PWI should really consider because barb's are really becoming hard to come by even venomancers.

    This has been suggested quiet a few times... And I doubt the barb population is decreasing because of the tiger only form which I don't mind.
    Mains:
    Doom_Panda- 102/101/102 R9 3rd cast Demon Barb 40k HP.
    Dawnx - 100/85 Demon Cleric.
    PsychicTuna- 101/100 Sage Psychic.
    DawnMyst- 96 Demon Mystic.

    PANDAS FTW. AND I b:heart ARMA! b:avoid

    As the panda above said, this has been suggested some times, the owners of this game just don't care about it, imo it's a easy task to make a wolf, a lion, and a panda for their respective species, and as we can see, the name of the skill is "true form" which sounds weird when a wolf turns into a tiger... they could simply copy and edit a few the mods, like they did with new weapons, they could get the lion mount, edit some things, resize, and TADA a lion true form!! but who will ever knows what the owners of this game are doing instead of work b:angry

    Barbs are not so many like before, but not that few too, 1 reason is the aps classes, most barbs (or future barbs player) change his mind when see a sin killing a boss in 10 seconds when a barb kill in 1 minute, what they do? cash for r9 and high refines or roll sin or bm...
    not saying all barbs are like those, just saying a lot do or did it...


    ps. at work, so sorry for any typo or sht i typed

    I do not find this to be so even if the population of barbs were diminishing because of all being in tiger form when transformed, pwi is lazy and will not make any other form for us. They do not see it as nessary. It is just like the venos all turn into Fox no matter what they are. So take heart all and do not worry over asthetics find better to worry about

    Meh, if they implemented all those forms (which they never will, btw), my barb would lose his identity! D: He's a lion that turns into a tiger. You can't call him Liger if he's a lion that turns into a lion! :P

    Yes, I'm still a stubborn holdout in favor of the old game. Haters gonna hate. ;]

    From what I know and from what I have been told this idea has been passed around for a long while, that part is true. And from a few friends who are in the computer gaming business, to make the barb true form change, the mods will have to change all of pw for something due to coding.

    I'm not a computer genius so I would never understand why it's so difficult :/


    But I think it was something like.....If they change the barbs they will have to change the venos into the bunny or cat form they choose and make it so the tideborns look their real self in medication instead of the blonde hair forms because they're all coded the same way(??).

    Its a lot of work to go into the coding that's deep in pw which is hard to change and after they do modify it they'll still be expecting to see 5456478 glitches first few maint. updates. They don't want to deal with that for not only will it take a long time but Frankie said over and over that they're really short staffed at the moment so they don't want to have the people to spend all that time and work on a modification like that.

    Sorry if I wasted your time reading this and you guys already know the story but thought I'd say it for those that didn't hear about it o.o And if anyone knows the mistakes I made in my explanation please do correct me <3 I actually do want to understand this situation more.

    Venomancers are pretty common on RT


    Also, I heard a rant from a barb at the Barb Strike on RT server a couple days ago, 'Give us tiger form fashion!'

    I'd be happier with head fashion that stays on when I go into tiger form. I'd run around all day in my tophat.

    Yeah we dissapear because now you solo instances with a 5 or 4 aps sin with nirvana daggs 10 or R9 + 10....

    When we are tired of barbs we role a bm, sin, seeker or anything to stay in game...

    But I missed my barb and came to play it again. Still love it and will continue to play it.
