So it's been a long long time now, and maybe this is just my server, but rumors of 1 new class to each existing race have been floating around for a long time now. These rumors still have not died down, but through looking through forums and update information, I haven't seen PWI announce anything like that. So, can we all drop the new class or do you have reason to believe there are new classes coming.

I realize this has probably been asked multiple times, but still. Any fresh thoughts?

Also, what would you LIKE to see in the update? Things that have not been announced? f:cute

    Pretty sure it's a no for the new classes rumor. There's been trailers about the updated skills and posts about new maps and areas. Nothing about new classes and I think it's already been confirmed there are no new classes, could be wrong on the actual confirmation if my memory serves me wrong on official posts, but as far as I or any of my fac mates and friends are aware of there are none (Thank Pan Gu). As for the farther future updates, who knows.

    As for what I would like to see?...Eh.. I don't know, the expansion itself seems kind of blah to me. Nothing about it really has me remotely excited.

    Yeah I'm not too excited either, nothing besides restarting a char from level 1. Lol.

    Well lets look at the pattern of big expansions PW has put us. First was the Genie, then Tide Born, EarthGuard, Sirens of war, and now next is New Horizons. Pretty much this is not going to be the last Big expansion.

    Just look at the map itself, any normal person can see all the areas still waiting to be opened up. And if anyone remember what the full map of PW looks like, what we see right now is only 40% of what it is to become.

    In saying that, mysterious weps like whips have been in the database from the start, as it had been pre planned from the original devs. Therefore most likely we will see new classes most beyond the horizons.

    I thin SylenThunder talked about the game only being set up to handle 10 classes in its current form if I remember rightly. Meaning I honestly do not believe an update to races is coming unless they basically rebuild the game.

    As far as this update is concerned, no new classes.

    I honestly don't think we need more classes. All basic roles have been filled and new classes would have the potential of replacing existing classes or just make existing classes look bad. If not, then the new classes would be crappier and unpopular.

    I much rather prefer them to keep pushing towards more skill balancing among the classes and give us more updates/upgrades to skills. These new updates we're getting on skills are nice but they still didn't address some skills that were in need of an update. For Venomancers, I could mention Frost Scarab.

    Bard = AOE buffing/debuffing, so long as he/she keeps playing their musical instruments (think BB or vortex, but instead of healing/damage, you get buffs/debuffs). It would also have some magical attacks, obviously.

    Lancer (couldn't think on a better name) = Both Seekers and Barbs took one of the weapon paths from bms and developed each other in an unique way, so why not a melee class that focuses on spears? it could have skills that pierces through physical defense or some unique traits like deflecting/parrying attacks like counter stances (every time somebody attacks you with a melee skill, there's a chance of you countering with a certain counter skill, dealing damage or crippling the enemy with a debuff).

    Just a few ideas of my own b:surrender

    Cap can be changed like how APS can be changed. I do not see it as a problem. However others may say so. Remember that the original devs are also now back working on game. We just have to wait and see.

    Doesn't seem very probable and I doubt a new class will bring people back to PWI (only way to do that is possibly the release of a sequel PWI) anyways back to the topic.
    I personally do not see why we would have new classes BUT I was told by a very credible source who is from China and plays PWCN that new classes would be coming. Shes always been right in the past. So....idk maybe they are in the future?

    Plus they plain out mention the possibility of a new race in this their thread:

    http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://w2i.178.com/201309/174252911838.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://w2i.178.com/201309/174252911838.html%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DtZY%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official

    2 of the things they mentioned there are already happening..so chances are the other 2 will happen at a later date? Unless someone as the ability to see into the future im pretty sure none of us know if a new race will come or not but the evidence are showing signs.

    This is correct.

    It's not like it's changing a couple of codes.

    We got the Tideborn and the Earthguard because their basic information was already coded into the core data. It's a hard-coded cap that will require much restructuring of the core data to expand. APS is just a soft cap set by a limiter.

    Now that the original dev's are back to working on the game, sure it's possible. Likely, no.
    The original dev's hadn't envisioned more characters. They had envisioned a much larger map, and had plans for a map so expansive, that it supported 6 cities of the same ranking in the game as Archosaur. They had also envisioned a level cap of 150 with quests and cultivation to go with it, which Wanmei broke by compressing the levels into 105. We're not likely to see an increase to the cap because of the way Wanmei broke the exp tables. Like adding new characters, it would require completely re-coding the system in order to do it without starting from scratch.

    The kind of differences were talking about is like comparing removing the speed limiter on your car (APS cap), to completely re-designing the engine in my SUV to boost it to over 1000bhp (new classes).

    they are NOT the original devs, it is only the former company. I highly doubt any member of that crew is still working for them.
