TFTW - Thought For the Week - 01/01/2007Follow

This is what they MIGHT do with the classes:

Take the existing tier and add a new branch to each class; such as this:
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
------------------Swashbuckler
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
Scout- Rouge
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
------------------Brigand
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>


-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
------------------Dirge
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
Scout- Bard
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
------------------Troubadour
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>


-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
------------------Ranger
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
Scout- Predator
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>
------------------Assassin
-----------------<Insert Specialty Here>

So you go from archetype, to type, to class, to subclass with AA options. As for new dungeons and instances, I really Like Tutan-Briar paws Idea for the steam work dungeon, albeit, I just got my character to level 15 and am just speculating. I also have a question, with enter the fae, did they release crushbone? Id really like to visit memory lane and kill emperor crush.

When I think evil I think more towards Kunark over Odus.

I would like to see kunark as the next expansion with an nuetral/evil city.

Also velious would be great if they did it like EOF with the all of the factions from EQ1; giants, dwarfs, and dragons.

I agree that Odus/Paineel should be the next logical step of an expansion. It lacks a lot of content, so maybe just an expansion pack. But it gives us "The Hole", a possible new raiding zone.

The next large expansion would of course be Kunark in my opinion. It will be interesting to see if they release the entire continent in one expansion, or several. Keep in mind that kunark will about double the amount of content that the game currently has and also intorduce the possibilty of Epic weapons that SoE had mentioned hey didnt want in EQ2.

I'd like to see something different. It's a new game, in a new time...give us something never seen before. It doesn't have to be restricted by the old world at all. That aquatic idea above is pretty interesting actually, with some previous undiscovered islands possibly. Just swimming down to the instance in Mystic Lake was a treat I found, instances and cities could be set up similarly..linked by Islands or Boat Rides.

As long as they do a better job than DoF and KoS. They were just... blah.

It certainly would keep ME on, especially if they brought Crusty armor back, man...I remember when that stuff was amazing.

Of course, EoF kept me on with the addition of crushbone and Dvinn.

Orc or even a variant of a mob in game, perhaps something that isn't ugly as hell for the bad guys :P. I would HATE to see undead, but I could see Goblin or even Gnoll, but highly doubt either arrival.

I don't want alot of people playing, it will

A. bog servers down
B. introduce stupid gullible people to the game
C. Destroy the rp

About botters and plat buyers, well, they are not that bad in this game. For a messed up economy, please play FFXI.

as for the glitches, welcome to MMO, they are everywhere in every game, some are just more apparent.

I don't think they were bad, I had fun in DoF and KoS, but they're just average. They have a lot of recycled textures, MoBs cut and paste content (armor, weapons, new crafting tiers). Especially compared to EoF which is brilliantly awesome and feels more "new".

I like the more traditional fantasy environments of EoF compared to the desert or outer space feel of the other expansions but that's just my opinion.

Just a quick thought... I could see SoE do some nice damage with a remade and enlarged OOT (Ocean of Tears). That would give you water zone wanters a definate shot. And since Kedge Keep didn't make its way back it could be a nice alternative.

I can see Odus with paineel and all..but I can't see an Evil race for it really...unless ofcourse the kobolds took over. Maybe Erudin could be a high level dungeon too....

To be truthful I would rather see Kunark brought back..just so they can name the expansion "The ruined ruins of kunark" and maybe the new race could be sarnak!*crosses fingers*

Maybe the whole of Kunark is to big, but they really don't need to release all of it at once. They could start with The Overthere and the Outpost, Warslilk Wood and a couple other zones including Cabilis.

Then later explorers could "find" islands nearby like Sebilis and Firiona Vie.

They stuffed level 1 - 70 into five outdoor zones in EoF. If a new race isn't in the offing then you really don't need a 1 - 20 zone like G Fay.

I'd like to see Cabilis as a dungeon city, maybe taken over by Sarnak or <hopefully> the Shissar.

I know alot of people would like to see gnolls as a playable race. I hear this all the time. They could alway give Firiona Vie to the Drolvargs <sp>.

I guess as long as I'm having fun and the content is there I wouldn't mind seeing an "installment system" for Kunark. I've always figured The Estate of Unrest was going to be an extra cost adventure pack, so it goes the same for Kunark.

just my 2cp worth.
