i don't care if people would make uber spec, i don't care if people would make guardians who can heal and use Fusion. I don't care about "it will be hard to balance against raids". screw all that I want choice I want games to move away from the damn holy trinity bullshit.

They had a nice skill base system for Ultima Online. Too bad it sucked for PvE. Made PvP a lot of fun.

I'd support this. Overall, I prefer skill-based rather than class-based games. This doesn't mean a class-based game cannot be fun or well-made, but I prefer the freedom offered by skill-based character progression.

On the other hand, such systems tend to be much harder to pull off well. too often, you end up with obvious uber and gimp builds, or rigidly defined advancement paths, or you create a system where it's too easy to learn everything, like in Fallout or Elder Scrolls. For a single-player game, that's not much of an issue, but can be bad for a multi-player game (unless you move away from the idea that specialization is needed, and reward redundancy, but that's another topic...),

But i want beastlords. or something similar.

I understand due to the way the class system works SoE can NOT just add 1 class. They would either have to make a new tree, or add 2 class's to each tree. But I would like a melee pet class.

Maybe if i get enough people to agree with me SoE will think about it

lol, discuss

Sure, and fuck up the game more than what it already is? They have issues balancing the classes we have NOW. Why the hell would we want to throw two more with an archtype into the mix??

As much as I loved my Beastlord in EQ1, my answer is NO.

Kalidon · 12-20-2007, 05:58 PM

yeah id have to go with no on this to sorry dude but this game needs as was said fixes to existing classes and content(read mechanics) before you venture off into new classes lol

For someone who hasn't played any other MMORPG except for EQ2 (and I often wish I'd never bought this one - life sapping bastard of a game) could someone explain to me WTF is a 'Beastlord'?

EQ Circle : Beastlord

I played a Bst in eq1 for god knows how many years becoming a full-time EQ2'er... at first I was disappointed that there was no Beastlord or equivilant class in eq2, but someone asking this question now.. even I would have to say "No".

I will not, however.. flame the OP (dispite the fact that there really is a retarded amount of these posts) I FUCKING LOVED my Beastlord, and hell.. (Station Access) I still log him in now and then and kill a few mobs, muse at how much I miss him.. but then log back onto the more polished Eq2 and happily play in it's Bst-less universe. I do not blame people/OP for having some desire for this.. but it just would not work- dispite peoples' bitching, the game as-is is ~amazingly~ balanced for the most part.. you just throw on another class and you take 3+ years of development/tuning and kicked it in the balls.

For anyone wondering- a beastlord was/is a Shaman/Monk hybrid that was a very powerful pet class. Had minor player heals, fairly large pet heals, and shaman spells/debuffs (approx 30 levels below the Bst's current level-- READ: level 75 beastlord had level ~50 shaman spells) Beastlords did not get FD, but were primarily hand-to-hand combat based and wore leather armor

Aye, no. Beastlords were refreshing in EQ1, but they would have troubles implementing it here. Hell, I don't want any more races, either. I'd rather see them fix the shit they have at the moment.

GTFO

Beastlords have been consigned to the midden heap of history. Get over it already.
