@gothix The system is flexible. For sure hard core players will be forced to pick certain/specific race to maximize a role. For example If I have to play as tank I must pick up a Bear by maximizing Cons and Str. But for all those that want play as flex the best choice is human that got +20 attr points over other races and they can balance all attributes. This way they can be some how effective in all school or maybe all combo. It's too early anyway I need numbers to say this XD. I need to test. For sure maximize something specific will be the most powerfull thing but limited on that school. the knowledge system allow us to mix the school to build what's suits better for the situation.
-
I will rather have alts for playing different roles, then single character to play all, but gimped.
For now I plan to main an archer.
Shadow demon, with DEX and perception maxed (if possible), all stats to 10 so no penalties, and what remains probably to INT and CON.
-
@gothix try to think a Moba where you can have an hero skill less and you can put the skills you want by selecting them from the list. I look at the knowledge system this way. Once you unlock everything you will be able to mix up the abilities to use. I think mix up could generate good combo/ good builds. Otherwise the option the option to have alts it's like the common mmo where you create alts to have all classes aviable.
-
You can ofc. go like that, but that will be (imho) like hybrid classes in MMO, can do many things, but aren't the best in anything. They are just more versatile.
I prefer min max a single char for specific class/role, and then have an alt to min max another role.
-
@gothix We are limited to 3 Characters that's why I'm also considering a Flexible Char. On WoW for example I had maximized every calss for example to be more suitable. Here will be hard with only 3 slot. I think I'll go for an hybrid/flex plus a focused tank and a focused healer.
-
Oh, I didn't know we will be capped at 3 characters.
Then perhaps, I will also go with 2 focused characters, and 1 flex.
One focused archer for sure, because I like playing archers in MMOs (shadow demon)
One focused tank likely (perhaps bear if that fits)
And will see about a flex char, I might go for support / off heal flex, some bard / healer mix (human could fit for this)
-
@gothix Yeah but I hope that DS will extend the slots I could consider also the idea to shop char slot from the store if sold for a fair price. I usually like to create a character for each race/class.
I'm gonna roll a tanky Bear, a flex Human for sure and an Angel somehow but I would like to know the basic attributes XD.
-
@Finland The number of characters a player can have hasn't been decided yet. You asked that question 3 months ago.
-
@specter I remeber that but I were sure that someone told me that were restriced to 3. It's been three months since that question. I may be wrong then so.. @Gothix forget it.
-
@phaethonas i see now

Somehow i doubt you'll have that much liberty in this regard. After all, if you can just easily pop into another character it might unbalance the ongoing fight pvpwise (if it comes to that). Personally i wouldn't mind more character slots for the same RACE in the same SERVER, but if you wanna go for a different race, than go in another server to make it "fair" =P
-
@luccheno There's only one server. (Unless latency gets too bad for players from other regions. In that case the devs might launch another server).
-
@specter Right.... so... that might make it hard to balance in some way
-
@luccheno espionage and spies no way to balance that except by implementing few penalities.
-
@finland Or you could have a delay. Like if you wanna change between characters that have a different "race" you need to wait X minutes before logging off one and in the other
-
Implementing delay could be a reasonable choice, so people aren't able to just quickly spam relog button to spy on other race PvP movements.
-
@luccheno well the restriction/delay should be influenced by the alignment/karma and not the race. The guild will be mixed but restricted under one alignment so the best choice would be a long queue if you try to change from evil to neutral or to good.
-
Thank You for magnific work

There will be many factors and many circumstances. To be safe that any circumstances aren't abused, there should just be CD on re logging of ANY different character, regardless of race or alignment.
Either put CD on any re log, or don't put CD at all anywhere.

good news guys
