I think its funny people are bashing the game based off wow like graphics, which obviously have no relevance in the games we play. We are playing on p99....

Gameplay is what will matter. The harsh penalties, the fear of making a bad choice, and having to deal with the consequences. Also the social interaction and the need for it to be the absolute foundation to the immersion of this game.

All of which have not been revealed. So if you are going to speculate on anything, it should be those things.

the most awful thing about multiclassing is someone is going to figure out the optimal class combinations and if you don't play that you basically suck at the game

swap classes on demand? no more bottlenecks on getting content done, making it more accessible to all

commie bullshit

I too would like a good reason as to why multiclassing is such a horrendous thing.


It's in D&D and people love it there.

This game looks amazing... I watched the twitch announcement.

It detracts from the meaning and role of a class, especially if you can just change it whenever you want to. It also tends to make everyone blandly similar in a variety of ways that harms gameplay and immersion.

I know that was a pre-alpha sneak peak...but it looks awful if thats how combat is gonna be.

It still is the best system. You can't max out everything, expect a skill based model similar to Uo/SWG. Both of which everyone in the community has been crying about having again for years

Similar? Sounded to me like it was offering some crazy amounts of customization. Better than having the exact same skillset as every player of your class, in that regard.

I'm hoping its like what they mentioned about you can choose to be classes not available to your race, but it will involve questlines and finding out of the way trainers/etc to learn it, and doing so will ruin your faction/ties to your previous class.
