    The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace

    I dont know what i will Play.
    Normaly i realy likes assasins. But Tanks and heal are always nice too. And since its a game with dd/heal/Tank and Not this everyone can do everything shit i realy Think about playing heal or Tank.
    But i Think i will Test the classes and look how they Fell in alpha2-beta2 and decide then

    Not sure whether to go with Mage or Summoner. On one hand, Summoner appeals to me quite a bit through the overall theme (I want to summon Pokemon, alright?), but the "jack of all trades" seems a more mediocre approach in comparison to going full Tank, Healer, or DPS.

    On the other hand, Mage seems nice because magical DPS is always something that I enjoy, but it feels a bit more "standard" compared to the Summoner, though the Archetypes probably help with that.

    Of course, the Summoner seems to offer more versatility for solo/small group players since you can double as a back-up for a role, fill in the one missing role, etc. than the Mage would. Probably easier to get a group, too, since so many of the classes are DPS.

    Then, again, it depends a lot on how they plan to balance the Summoner's capabilities versus other classes because I can see a situation in which no one wants to party with a Base Class Summoner because getting a Base Class DPS/Tank/Healer would be far more effective.

    I'm thinking about running a Dwarf Battlemage as my first character. I like Dwarves, magic, and swords, so this seems like a perfect fit for me.
  • JazeriousJazerious Member, Warrior of Old, Kickstarter, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Summoner or bard!!! I played cleric in too many other games. Unless they make clerics fun to play or are just really back at making summoners and bards, i'm skipping cleric this time around.

    Well most likely I will make all 3, but main either summoner or bard XD!!!

    I can tell i'm going to have so many alts in this game ZZZZZZ...

    Most likely a stealther of some sort if augmented full stealth is available. if not then a Dual wield Fighter.

    Stealth will only be possible for main class rogues.

    well, Steven did give in example of a WR charge skill going stealth during the charge animation with a rogue augment.

    Ooooh, that's interesting. I missed that one, too. Would open up lots of possibilities.

    Yea, he mention is over a year ago. He could have changed him mind by then, but that's like saying teleport will only be given to mage primaries.

    Well, they talked about keeping specific abilities class bound. Like direct healing of other party members.

  • akabearakabear Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    any word on how many characters we are likely to be able to create?
    I would like to make a few, but first an assassin or ranger!
  • AshcraftAshcraft Member

  • CounselorMinCounselorMin Member, Alpha Two
    Human High Priest or Scryer.

    I'd like to be a hoplite hunter, but any fighter variant would suffice as long as it supports my hoplite fantasy.

  • VhaeyneVhaeyne Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    Empyrean 100%, going with something in the ranger family. I will have to feel it out first.

    This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
  • JaymaJayma Member, Alpha Two
    I want to play a light melee one hander/dual wield fighter so probably Bladedancer(Fighter/Bard).
    For the race, anything that is not a dwarf(i have usually hard time to play short characters) and which has a good look on creation screen.

    And maybe Falconer(Ranger/Summoner) or Battlemage(Mage/Figther) or any bard type for a reroll.
  • MowabyMowaby Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two

    I miss playing Bards, but I always like being beefy, so I assume I will try Tank>Bard first and see what happens.
  • Theplague4uTheplague4u Member, Alpha Two

    Curious to know what everyone is going to choose! I can't wait to play Alpha-2! My only regret is not finding out about this game earlier to buy the dark allegiances cosmetics. :'(

    To everyone else picking Assassin: I look forward to working with you, ganking you as you try to gank someone else, getting ganked by you, and/or completely leaving you alone as you carry out your business due to mutual respect.
