Shall I tell you something about hell?

I've already made up a few 'fan classes' for most of the races, to try and give each race equal numbers of HA, LA, and AA. The ones I came up with so far:


Human: Gunner - Gunners opt for light armor, making themselves quick and light. The growing numbers of the Humans have allowed them to expand their abilities, becoming a gun slinging master. Gunners use their bullets are debuffers, infusing the core of the bullet with a special property that may allow the enemy to be poisoned, burned, weaken them, or just let them bleed out. Quick, but not quiet, those who chose this class must be ready to run from a coming enemy, while being able to assist.

Winged Elf: Paladin - Paladins are heavy armor fighters who use shields and swords as their weapon. They are blessed by the light of Pangu, and are able to use spells along with striking with blade and shield. For a few seconds they can grant immunity to squad members within range. Not necessarily a tank, Paladins are there to cover their allies and protect those who stand besides them.


Untamed: Gonna make up a male and female class for this Noth will be Light Armored

Monks (Male) - Monks have evolved further than Barbarians, their minds growing while their body changes. These warriors now take a more human appearance, keeping only a few features of their past feral life. Monks use fist rings and their weapon, relying more on finding enemy's pressure points rather than dealing damage. With these pressure points they render the enemy to lose their armor for a short amount of time. Monks who are so in tune with their center will even my able to shut the Soulforce of one down for a period of time.

*Monks will be more humanoid, keeping only a tail, ears, animal eyes, and sharp claws as remnants of their past life. Along with the lion, tiger, panda, and wolf barb/monks will come new beasties, a snow leopard and grizzly bear*

Ringmasters (Female) - Female untamed who have taken a turn on the 'bad girl' side call themselves the Ringmasters. Unlike their sisters, the Venomancer, Ringmasters do not heal their pets. With a sharp crack of the whip, they send their ferocious beasts into battle. Do not be fooled by the pets though, Ringmasters are very offensive. With their whips they can deal decent damage at quick speeds. If a pet is to fall in battle, they have no worries, they have a parade of beasties behind them. Who knows, maybe they can even turn a very pet/summon against it's master?...

*Ringmasters will appear more animal than their sisters. They will have sharper horns, longer ears and tails with more fur. Their pupils will be slits and their claws long. An added Raccoon ini will be available.*



Tideborn: Dragoon - Dragoons are heavy armored warriors with lances as their weapon choice. They are not heavy hitters, but instead are the class to choose when wanting to throw the enemy back or keeping them in one place. With the mighty lances Dragoons throw at their enemies, they are able to control a single enemy. Once a master Dragoon has been raised, they will find themselves gaining a few abilities to keep crowds at bay with multiple lances.

Earthguard: Bards - Bards are musically inclined, wearing light weight armor to allow them to move freely while still maintaining defense. Bards use different instruments as 'weapons', although they would rather stand behind the front line, using their airy voices and nimble fingers to assist their allies, raising their valor and will power. However, if you find yourself on the bad side of a Bard, beware. They will use their music to ensnare you, trapping your very mind, enabling you yo use your attacks. If they so wish it, they could drain the very life out of you, or even your magical power.

This. A necromancer. Summons would be individually weak but damage could mount up with the amount summoned. Summons are time limited. Uses dark magic, I dunno. I just always wanted a necromancer class.

OR

something that uses the whips in the game files b:victory

Check here for time conversions: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...0314T07&p1=224

Arc

Arc is now fully integrated into PWI. Launching the game will now also launch Arc.

Localization

Venomancer
*The Demon version of Bramble Guard now lists the correct duration.
*The Fossilized Curse tooltip has been updated to specify that it only removed effects that increase Magic Defense.
*The Demon version of Grudge Strike now lists the correct increase in channeling time.

User Interface
*Misc. grammatical fixes.


Maintenance Question: If you could make your own custom class, what would it be and how would it function?

"Arc is now fully integrated into PWI. Launching the game will now also launch Arc."
Not really sure how I feel about this SparkieSpark. I've always had mixed feelings about Arc even when more than 50% of the Community has been bashing it. I've always thought of Arc as an attempt at a PWI "Steam" Account. But if I'm correct, you don't need Steam running to Launch games or something of that nature. Could you tell use how much stress this would be on an Average joes computer/Laptop. Like a HP Pav. G4-6. Something with 2-4GB of Ram. 250-500Memory. Intel Graphics Card (3500-4500). i2-4 Processor.

Maintenance Question: If you could make your own custom class, what would it be and how would it function?

Ether Blade – Humans
• Blade Master – HA
• Wizard – AA
• Amazon – LA (Uses Javelins. Giving the Humans a Range/Close class like the Seeker. Giving her the Ability to Throw and Jab a target. Skills would consist of heavy usage with Physical and Metal Damage).

City of the Lost – Untamed
• Barbarian – HA
• Venomancer – AA
• Druid – LA (Using single Sword in the form of a short sword. Giving the Untamed a, basically, Male Veno but with a twist. Summon “spirit” pets along with being able to call upon nature. Skills would be primary Wood based).

City of the Plume – Winged Elf
• Cleric – AA
• Archer – LA
• High Elf/Paladin/Valkyrie – HA (Using Sword and Shield. Giving the Winged Elf a close range class like a barb but having a slight change in group with abilities that give “Auras” of Defense or Offense. Skills would primary be Physical Damage).

City of Raging Tides – Tide Born
• Assassin – LA
• Psychic – AA
• Lancer – HA (Using Pikes/Spears. Giving Tide Borns’ a Midrange class. Damage would be Physical and Water based).

Tellus City – Earth Guards
• Seekers – HA
• Mystics – AA
• Necromancer – LA (Using Wands or single Dagger. Giving the Earth Guards a Midrange Caster/close up DD. Ability to summon (after taming) a monsters undead corpse/Skeleton. Using a Dagger to also cast midrange and close up Attacks (Cursing, “backstab”, Poison kills, ect.) only really using the Wand to Summon a pet or objects (Such as a Bone prison)).


I think many of us, during our spare time when not creating "Spot Squads", Trolling, or even possibly playing that other game Called Real Life, where there are no respond, have thought of different classes. I for one have not only thought of a way to "Balance" out the fact that there is only 3 Melee classes (No i do not count Seeker as 1 either. Their ability to be at a close/melee range is only a factor because of their HA armor set.) but have gone as far as thinking up skills for each class. I'll admit, with not Character Game designing background experience. Skill work is very difficult.

Question: To all the people that have posted up "Balance" questions for classes, or rather been crying that there is no balance between classes tho have only just brought this up because of Might Swing and other Skill vamps that the 3 Melee Classes of PWI have gotten even tho clearly there was never a balanced to beginning with (So in other words, you didn't get a shiny new toy to play with while others did).

Have you even thought that maybe the reason why PWI is having a hard time finding "Balance" in classes is because UNLIKE other games. This game has no PvP Payed Tournament where they can see what classes are either Under played, Over used, what skills need reworking, which skills have no use (I.E. Firestorm for Barbs.) and try and fix?

I've seen alot of game names being thrown around but most (if not all) have a PvP Tournament (which pays out in someway to the players) that allow the game devs/creators to revamp skill/characters in a more "Balanced" way. With out that kind of a system. This game, the more and more I play it, is a Community based game more than a Dev/GM interaction game. Its up to the community to make this game great. Community sucks, game sucks. (Thought what sucks is also a matter of opinion.)

If i was playing a new class that was a Symbiot .
Really simple only 2 skills. No weapons.

1 )you get in a mob like a parasit and myslead them to other mobs to make it die.

2) Player support rôle you integrate an other player who gain your stats as bonus to their stats for as long is he want and keep you amalgamate to this body and soul.

Pretty cool dont think.

b:chuckle I would make a beresker class part psyhic part seeker, i would call it, oh yeah BERSERKERb:chuckleb:chuckleb:chuckle

Answer to the question: I once said long ago, long before the 'Tidebourne' were ever introduced into the game (and I still hold too from back then btw.) is that The 'Modo' ~ from PWE's ~ Jade Dynasty would have been the perfect addition to the game as a playable >>'Wraith based'<< class race for the player base.....b:thanks

SweetieBot find manual patch please

Does this mean we are now officially unable to multiclient without using other tools such as sandbox?

Custom class? Here it goes

Assassin 2.0


-Tidal protection effect last 10 seconds. Cooldown 60s, change to avoid status is 33%. Demon version last 20 seconds, sage version increase changes to avoid status to 50%.

-Damage from all skills reduced by 30%

-Deaden Nerves activation causes the assassin to lose all buffs, even non purgeable ones.

-Shadow Escape costs 1 spark.

-Share the stealth cannot be used while holding the flag in nation wars, and doesn't work on anyone holding it. Chi cost increased to 2 sparks.

-The rest stays the same.

-Replaces the assassin 1.0 for balanced gameplay.


That's what i would do.
