What would the new class be???Follow

/agree Tarv.

Actually, there are (were?) rafts you could take control of and sail around. However, passengers were usually problematic. Too much lag either with the "captain" or the "passengers" and someone's swimming.

I'm farily sure there were some in Lake Rathe.

Somehow ships and EverQuest never really mixed well since the NPC vessels were rather problematic, too. I recall going from Butcherblock to Kunark and getting dumped off the raft into water and the big ship to Kunark leaving. I was playing a 16 mage, my friend a 16 enchanter. We invised ourselves. We asked if there was any way we could make it on our own. Answer we got was no, but we should just gate, which we did. If we didn't have gate, the answer basically was ask a GM for help. /shudder.

I think the velius gate potion was available then, but I'm pretty sure shamans didn't brew up gate potions, so if I had been a melee, it would have been rough.

In terms of what the game needs, I have no idea at this time. Probably when I played I would have agreed that no more classes were needed, and that SOE couldn't balance those which existed.

Now that I've stepped back and haven't touched the game for like a year, being a pirate sounds like fun...but I played a rogue so...quests for eyepatches and hats and general pirate-looking gear ending with a custom title "Dread Pirate" or something that *any* class could do would just be fun. Or perhaps an illusion item?

But yet another damage dealer (and a new exciting class everyone was trying to level up) would send the others all LFG for even longer /shurg. Maybe you could have three modes: tank, DPS, crowed control (single or duo where you keep the mobs focused on you). None of these modes would be as good as the real things, but it would make a group of a bunch of pirates plus, say, a healer, functional at the lower end.

Oh ya, and you should quest to get a summon parrot item. The parrot should sit on your shoulder and say stuff. It wouldn't have to do anything else. It could just have a 1/20 chance of repeating what you say with a few flourishes added.

Again, without implementing the class this could be added as some kind of be a pirate long term quest.

So you'd be pulling and saying:

"Incoming! A ****** Wombat"

and everyonce in a while, the parrot would say (right after you)

"SQUAK! Incoming! A ****** Wombat! SQUAK!"

They could even lisence an english to pirate conversion tool such as http://www.talklikeapirate.com/translator.html to do it in realtime...although I'm sure the servers are busy enough :)

Well it does make sense to make the kedge a playable race. They were one of the original elder races. Course ol Phinny got um all killed but what if some escaped???? Since theyr so smart obviously theyd be good at being casters. Make the city ent in dagnors and make dc more lowbie friendly. Its possible i mean if the shissar can avoid being erradicated i think the kedge can to.

I would like to see SoE fix all the classes before adding another class into the game

Oh man this will take a while(I have like a whole list of stuff I'd like to see fixed)

Pirates eh?

Im gonna have to find a Puffy Shirt Pattern then...I would make a Killing! Everyone knows oyu cant be a pirate without a Puffy Shirt!!!

Perhaps a new class isn't such a good idea, but what about a new tradeskill or such. I always thought it would be neat if players/guilds could have a farm and have farming as a tradeskill (or a skill). Could have farms set up similar to everquest 2 inn rooms. Say there is a fenced off area in west karana that goes off into the hillside (basically near the zone edge somewhere). When you rightclick the fence you could end your(or your guilds) farm. Have various sized farms for various prices. The items grown could start of as simple stuff like say the carrots and such you can buy from the stores. HAve the seeds merchant bought, then stick some rare seeds on boss mobs, high end mobs, etc. If your skillin farming is too low you would fail to raise the seed (each seed could have its own level like tradeskill combines). At the higher end there could be vegetables and such that are used for some high end stat food, or perhaps for recipes that make some of those heal potions etc.

I doubt that would ever happen, but it would be a nice part time activity for people to do, especially when your sitting there LFG, or those times when you only have a few minutes to log on.

I love the undead idea :) Some kinda vampire creature or somthing.. it would even be cool to be forced to either play indoors or take a small damage DOT in outdoor zones during the day and a small HOT or MANA regen during the night $$ .. there could be a more powerful control undead line of spells for the creature. You could even requre that the class would have to kill it's prey before taking control of it as a pet. I think it would be fun as hell to play "IF" it was done right.

Well lets start off with casters....

I don't want to see more spells or AAs spells wont help out casters much unless SoE decides to make some pretty badass spells....which i highly doubt they will do.......

I want to see Effects!!! I don't mean focus effects I mean like a caster equivilent to ATK....or strike through and I'd like to see a crit effect(like +X% to crits on some items). It only makes since.

That is just one thing I want to ***** about tonight(I have a more trust me =p)

Oh ya before I forget I'd like to see more Chanter foci they get screwed royaly on foci

damnit no not gnolls orcs or anything like that.........the only option is SHISSAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zerkers can tank halfway decently (knight hp, ranger mitigation), stun for aggro + interrupting gaters, snare (many times my zerker is snarer for groups), plus now MGB warcry - 5% overhaste (+atk but that doesnt matter as much) for 2 mins to the whole raid ain't half bad.

Anyway, I want a race from GoD or OoW to be playable; too bad that story arc's over... We have playable races from all the continents from original through Luclin (ok, using dwarves for Velious is stretching things a bit but I stand behind that statement all the same). It's been what, 4 years since we got a new race?

omg what the hell is wrong with you shissar's running around?? that'd be insane. i'd have an irresitable erge to kill them all in some kind of newbie rapage type of train where i tell them it's ok to do one thing when clearly it's not.. and jsut be evil to them...

i hate all shissar's they must ALL DIE!!!

wtf is wrong with you snakes rock
