Re: Consternation surrounding the 8x8 Class system and how to move forward.
And we won't know until the game devs implement Steven's vision and we get a chance to test it.Ashes doesn't exist yet. Its an idea that is still being formulated. You don't know what Ashes plays like or feels like because you have never played it or felt it.
Go make a Kickstarter, like Steven did, if you want to play your vision instead of Steven's vision.But, Steven did. And it's his game that I backed. So, I want to be able to test his vision.You don't have a monopoly on what the game is or should be.
Then we can give meaningful feedback about what we would like to have tweaked.Yep. Everyone -including the very experienced Intrepid game devs want the game to be good.I want the game to be good. I want the class system (arguably the most important system of them all) to be the best class system we have ever had in an MMO. I don't want the developers to stop innovating and iterating. I want them to use every scrap of design space available to them. I want a class system SO GOOD that both you and I can get exactly what we want out of it.
If you think you've got more to offer, convince Steven to hire you as a game dev for Ashes and see if they will adopt your ideas.
I dunno why think the dev team will stop innovating and iterating if they don't embrace your ideas.They are already giving us both - as far as I know.You like augments? Cool so do I. Lets do that. But if they can do augments AND make each of the 64 sub-types feel unique and flavorful, WHY ON EARTH would you not want both?
Of course, that depends on what, exactly, you mean by "unique".
So basically you want everyone to shut up and wait until the game is so far into development that its too late to course correct and THEN give feedback?
He wants everyone to actually see or experience the system, and then give feedback on it to Intrepid.
Right now, we have nothing but speculation, and misinterpretation of what little info we have.
So the best option right now is to see how Intrepid want to implement the system, which means we need more information, and we need to see how it is going to work.
Then we can provide feedback, ask for it to be revamped, or whatever else in any case it's not good or you can let them know if you don't like it.

Druid is conspicuously missing, yeah. Maybe a future content opportunity.

Ill never understand people who want to censor forums so that they can only see posts from people they agree with.
