NOTE: This thread doesn't make much sense by itself. It is part of a bigger thread that was split into several pieces to keep discussions on a single subject per thread, otherwise things would get too messy. See the full thread HERE.
- Multiclass System: This is one of the best aspects of this game.
- Being able to switch between many different class combos at will was very unique and provided a variety of classes for one to play. Different class combos were better at different jobs. Even with the same gear one character could do different roles (Warrior/Scout = Very High Burst, Low Sustain vs Warrior/Warden = Medium Burst, High Sustain -> Gear could also be used on other chain wearing classes such as Warden, and in the current meta, even to tank bosses as a Knight or Champion).
- Some class combos were viable for endgame although the fact that it was so easy to simply switch your secondary and do double your damage caused the deterrence of players to playing certain class combos. Certain classes need to be more balanced so that there are more options for endgame class combinations. N.E.R.F B.L.O.O.D A.R.R.O.W (Also who thought it would be a good idea to put a 3000% DPS AoE skill into the game, c’mon guys)
- Also certain classes were not played as a whole due to their inability to provide something or be the best at their job.
- For example, Warden was not the best dps or tank therefore was only used as a Warden/Scout buffer. Knight/Warrior’s Authoritative Deterrence is essential in almost every instance therefore caused having a Warden/Warrior tank to be inefficient (wasting a spot because you would have to bring a knight/warrior anyway in turn preventing you from bringing something more useful in that one wasted slot). Warden/Warrior and Warden/Scout could also do amazing damage, in moderate burst but more so high sustain, although due to the majority of fights being burn or die, its viability died out.
- Also certain classes were not played as a whole due to their inability to provide something or be the best at their job.
- Intricate combat system
- Many different skills and classes that were designed in order for people to have a clear skill rotation, with a variety of skills that have clear uses for PvP as well as PvE. That being said, many skills were also used in very specific circumstances or against very specific targets, requiring one to know their class and be able to recognize these situations in order to have maximum effectiveness.
- The ability to switch gear (or whole sets) while in combat. This greatly enhanced PvP strategizing. Min-maxing stats for situations at will.
- Wardrobe system
- The cosmetic system in this game is one of the most amazing of MMORPGs that we’ve experienced. All your outfits are very customizable as well as most of the outfits can be farmed (and not look ugly) rather than in most games where the nice cosmetics are usually cash shop items. Also, the festival in which you can exchange silks for cosmetics displayed by models in Varanas is a great way to allow seasonal/item shop cosmetics (that are not currently available) to be available to players at different times of the year.
- Also all the customization is free! Yay Magic Wardrobe!
- Guild castles in relation to PvP/General Gameplay
- It was nice to see that guild castles were actually worth upgrading and gave an edge in PvE and PvP. It was also not that difficult to upgrade to a moderate level, preventing it from being unattainable for lower end players. This provided a goal for guilds to attempt to work towards collectively, as the advantage was significant enough to be worth working for.
In this thread you can discuss about adding positives and/or negatives regarding general game mechanics.
