New Class

Borran

So we're looking forward to a new class. They're not giving us spoilers. Anyone care to discuss theories or hopes of what the new class will be, desired abilities, or just rant about the lack of spoilers? 

New class trailer please!

Atalkez

Time bender.

Borran

I wish! I would love a class that is like "Remember 10 sec ago when I almost locked you and you tree tattood.. let's go back then and let me finish the job."

Antonius

Don't we already have this exact thread?

Krypton

Thanks a lot for making me think the new class was already announced.

Do we? I didn't see one.

Marketing ploy to get people talking. 

Szanthax

Confirmed... coming out after I see Les Mis in NYC in august.

Borran

Oh, yeah. It was brought up during the Q&A. The new class is coming out between August 2016 and December 2016

Ok, we've decided on a change of policy. The new class is going to be a factional class for Cyrene. There'll be a twist in that it'll have nine skills, because they need three sets of the standard three. This'll mean that you have to trans each skill three times to get access to all the abilities, but we figure that's a small price to pay (sorry Antonius, you're probably going to need a new mortgage if you join Cyrene and have it in your next multiclass slot).

Anyway. We're definitely sold on paperwork with a death of a thousand cuts finisher so far for the first skill. Because that's probably kind of edgy for the cyrene playerbase, we're tempering it with the second skill which will be called neutrality. Its basically an entirely defensive skill, similar to healing in some regards in that it let's you eliminate many effects. The trans skill let's you become unenemied to any organisation once a year for free, but we figure that'll be fine if people use it in moderation and strictly for rp purposes.

We're still discussing the third skill, so I'll let that be a surprise. We're pondering something historically themed like zergamancy or dragonbaiting, but I'd rather wait so we can give you accurate information and not get your hopes up unnecessarily.

Melodie

I do not appreciate your salacious attempts to convert me back to Cyrene, Makarios. It's not only tempting, but rude!

Borran

So the change in policy is instead of no spoilers, only sarcastic spoilers are allowed?

@Makarios

Borran

Is the new class kunai-flinging ninjas with taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu?

Asmodron

All we know is it's magical

Borran

New Hashan factional class? Shadowmancer?

Makarios

In all seriousness, it won't be a factional class. We'd not do that to you all.

Borran

So Shadowmancer is faction neutral! Awesome!

Borran

Actually, part of me hates trying to guess the new class because I am assuming it will be so much better than anything I can hope for. 

Asmodron

If I recall correctly, the exact statment given at the time is that it will not be coded in to be faction but if factions should decide to 'not allow' it, that is on them. Quite intriguing.

BM rework?

Just rework BM into the Shinigami from Bleach. Trans skill becomes their Bankai. GG

Borran

Soulmancer!

Morthif

Thought we settled on Magiknight 

Borran

I hope the new class brings some new dynamic to group combat.

I think you misheard. It's "Night Magi"

Trey

Musketeers or bust.

Farrah

The new class is Amazon. Female characters only. It'll be really pwn too.

Gibbi

Luchador

Aerek

Err, that's how the lore for a lot of Chaos magic is already explained. The Eschaton Experiment was all about fusing timelines. Ague, Truename, and violet(?) Chaos Ray abilities all warp time around the target. The rest of Occultism--Warp, Tentacles, Transmogrification, etc--uses mana or Karma energy to alter reality in harmful or beneficial ways. Cool ideas and all, but they kinda already exist.

Kinilan

Pirate class.


But none of Blupikachu's crap because.

Occultism came straight to mind when I read that too. All of Eris's time travel stuff too.

But obviously we still need a Good class to counter that all. The Time Police!
