why not discuss a bit, using our wealth of knowledge :m00: what sort of skills and abilities we would like to see, or think would work - if ya know warra' mean.

You never know Requiel may even be able to compile a list of the best ones and send a nice email to mythic " from the pryd-excal cluster rvr community" !!

Few ideas ive come up with ( imagined spell names)

Cause Insanity - 1000 range, causes a player to run off in a random direction for 10 seconds. ( like priests in wow ability)

Hadrians Fumble - Weapon being used is "dropped" and is put into the chars backpack and cannot be re-equipped for 5 seconds.

Inflict Darkness - On screen vision is reduced, char can still move - last 10 secs

Steadfast Doppleganger - a copy of the char is made, and can be put on stick with another char, last 1 min.


get some good ideas down here peeps, lets try and make it a post that aint full of crap ( No like Id like to see a spell that kills warlocks with 1 button press - we all want this but nvm !)

well tbh i really dont think we need more classes, ofc some classes do need tweeking, alb support for instance. they should work on fixing existing classes, which they now seem to be doing up to a point. maybe with some class specific "epic" abilities, much like the RR5 abilities, though ofc this would be more pve which a lot of people dont like.

Change the Animist realm rank 5 ability into two different abilities.

First ability when alone in no group (solo), they have the same ability.

When animist has 8 players in his/her group, the ability is turned into a group shape form, which is a mushroom :p.

Wouldnt want to see new classes tbh :< mythic have proved they are incapable of balancing new classes time and again and for that reason I hope they dont do it :p



....but I'd really like to see a third stealth class for mid and hib but cant really think of anything that would fit in with being a stealther but I guess since mincers have stealth mythic dont care about that anyway :s

pet spam for midgard would be nice... or even nicer if they redid the warlock to a pet spammer class (my wet dream, unfortunately never gonna happen :( )

Alb class: Monk: A mellee fighter that doesn't use weapons but his feet, and hands. has awesom evade and parry, can actually trow people over etc, can turn into frenzy monk = moves <mellee speed> 3 times faster, u see some kind of bullet time withh his arms (ie u see 3 arms but is 1), has 90% chance of parry and evade, lasts 6 seconds)

Mid class: yeti: a melle clas that wields 2 shields, and can trow those away, has YETI mode, wich turns him into a yeti, and roots every1 with ice root (and cold debuff) in his area, he can still move, mode stays on for 10 seconds

he does get shield styles. and some extra (such as vampiir has, more shield hits is more abilitys to use with other shield (such as range body guard etc)

Hib class:Fairy, elfs and luwis only: a caster that has heals (same as warden gets with rejuv spec), gets dots, aoe dots etc, baseline dd, baseline root. can turn into Fairy mode: = spells dont cost power, but takes 3 times longer to cast, lasts 30 sec.
Can also cast grey shrooms. (cap of 8)

way to gimp mids Angel.

Seriously, mid gets left behind, so they made some shitty op class, then it gets nerfed to hell and mids do crap, then in the next expansion mids get somit else OP then it gets nerfed, because they are behind.

They only reason it gets nerfed is because people WHINE and WHINE about it, you all whine about WL's so they got changed, you whined about svg's so they got changed. etc etc

They have a web site for ure ideas , i got one "!" how about gifv palla more RVR luving ? <sent it already btw>
Hello,

Here at GOA we publish the game in Europe countries as well as provide servers and support for it, but we cannot make any game balancing changes. The development of the game, new patches, expansions, class balancing and similar all lies entirely with Mythic Entertainment, the creators and developers of the game.

I think you should send Mythic your thoughts on this topic, either through the Team Leader program ( http://www.camelotherald.com/teamleads/ ) for class balance suggestions, or to the feedback forum on the Camelot Herald (http://www.camelotherald.com/feedback.php) if you have feedback on other aspects of the game.

Yours sincerely,

The current classes will need to be balanced more before even considering new imo...

IF they plan on doing new classes, i really hope mids get a melee instead of a caster... The way they made BD's and Warcocks... jesus, the next thing could be trolls farting nukes all around

problem is new classes dont tend to be made to be fun... they tend to be made with really overpowered stuff...

This causes imbalance for like 6 months then they slowly start putting the nerf bat in a few times till the class is like just the same as the others.

Basically i think they try to encourage peeps to roll a new class in the worst way possible. (ie at the expense of overall gameplay)
