Classes Layout

Alrighty, I finally had time to make a basic layout of the how the classes will generally look in the game. And here it is(I'll explain it under the pic)



Okedokey.... As you can see I simplified the classes. The "Advanced Classes were cut down, each "Starter Class" is going to be basically seperated into two parts, each having to do with one of the Advanced classes from before. Also, the Hybrid "Classes" won't be much of a class anymore, more like a few skills that the two original classes helped make.

So, as an example: Warrior. The Warrior has two sides: Knight, and Beserker. The Knight's side focuses on using Shields, and having a large chunk of health to take lots of damage(A tank essentially), while the Beserker is the side that uses Strength and heavy weapons to dish out as much damage as it can without much regard to its health. So basically when you pick a class you have two paths to take. And, of course, you can, eventually, take both paths as well as the paths of other classes when you unlock them. (Unlocking Hybrid Skills)

**Reason Behind the Class Cut: I noticed that most of the advanced classes were pretty similar or not very necessary. So I thought to myself "Which classes would be both easiest to make and have the most in common with the other advanced classes of its kind. Thus the choices.

I know I still have a lot of more explaining to do, so if there is something you don't get or disagree with than please feel free to speak up

Well...a few things I'm not happy about:



1. You're too smart
2. I don't have to worry about this problem anymore and I like to worry.
3. Lol
4. Nice job

Haha, JK, thats really nice and I like it...NICE JOB!
Don't really have any questions at all, that seems as straight forward as it could be and thats what I like about it most, theres not a whole bunch of unnecissary characters to complicate things yet there should be enough for everyone to chose something they like.

Oh wait, okay, one question comes to mind now that I think of it: What about archers? Is Archery going to be a skill learned (by one of the classes or all) or will it be something only like an assassin will have or something?

Thanks lol
I was looking over our old admin topics and forgot I was wanted to make this

Anyways, Beast Master will have the Archer skills since it'll be a kind of cover fire and support for your pet when it goes out to do that thing it does

Awesome, that makes perfect sense. I figured you had that worked out already .

The only thing I really need to/get help with, is making all the skills and perks for each class. As well as the skills the Hybrids are going to get

Yeah, we were all supposed to be working on that weren't we?
Are there any guidelines you can give us to get us started.

I mean like a certain number of things you want each character to have. Say...I dunno...5 skills each, three special skill each yadda yadda yadda and so on and so forth. Maybe it's just me but I think that would help us develop them and keep them sort of balanced.

I would have to say about 10-15 skills/perks in total for each class, and only like 3 or 4 for the Hybrids.

Just pick one and do half and half basically

Sweet. I hope to have my classes worked out then speedily. Heck, I got free time now, I can do it easily enough. I picked warrior, so yeah, I shall jump on it.

And another point, it cuts down on class specific weapons, skills and armour, making the game faster to produce.

Ohhh, nice job Span. I really like this. It makes a lot of sense and you've done a decent job of explaining it already. I expect we can get started on the classes then...

Yep, IF I did not have so much school

SPAN? What about rangers? No class for bows and crossbows?

i think that falls under the catagerory of rouge i may be mistaken though

Ya that's possible. Also, what about Tailors, Docters, and all the other classes that got cut. Will they be eliminated or...

Ineed. but more important what about Architect?

Architect is a type of Craftsmen skill, I think, and as is a Tailor. A Doctor is probably now included in the Magician's Class.

Okay, so we are wondering about Rangers/Archers, Doctors, Architects, and Doctors.

Rangers will be under Beast Master, Doctor is Healer, Architect will be Craftsman

Ranger under Beast Master? Not Warrior?

No, warrior is going to be a close quarter combat type class

Then why under beastmaster, wouldn't it fit better as a 3rd rouge class?

Because you'll be using your pet as your main offense, using the bow as assistance

Ahhhh. okay. Kind of kills things in my head, but ill live with it.

I love it, though I do have one problem with having only one class as a ranger, and it being secondary in said class. I think there should be a class with archery as your main offensive. But I do realize that it took lots of time to plan it out, and it looks good.

Ah, that clarifies things
