Any plans for adding other classes in the future?

Eshelmen

Tons of customizations with the 4 we have. But at some point they will probably add more classes right?

Was there ever talk of a specific class they would add in the future?

Tryxus

There was one class that didn't make the final cut

The Warden Class

I hope that gets added one day

UltimaJoe777

Take your pick on which one you prefer to believe:




Either way the former is more accurate until they say otherwise.

P.S. I cannot begin to count how many threads about new classes have been made over the time I've been part of ESO and even then many more were likely made before that.

Should fix the game they have before adding to it don't you think ?

Eshelmen

Plenty of people on this forum with the same questions and interests. By now I expect to see a few threads being the same.

That's not my question though. My question is specifically about plans for adding new classes. We all know about the issues at hand in this game. And quite frankly,it gets exhausting talking about the issues over and over and over again with no signs of progression.

Nope, there was never any official talk about adding classes.
But... there were many, many threads about the matter!

Even if they don't add new classes, maybe we can still hope for some new weapon types like spears, fist weapons, etc...

redspecter23

Why do we need more classes when the exact same thing can be accomplished just by adding more skill trees to the classes we already have. Many classes are already starved for abilities and the devs can't keep up. You want to add more classes for them to balance and neglect for months at a time?

Zorrashi

As I have said in multiple threads of a similar nature.....

No to more classes.
Yes to more skill lines.

You mean, like: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/259011/additional-weapon-skill-ideas

Yeah, more options would be a great thing in any regard, to give us more ways to diversify our characters, more skill lines to explore, which will take more game time, more alts, more effort spent on ESO, which in turn is likely to lead to more crown store purchases... and more profit for ZOS! Come on ZOS... I said it... profit?
-dangles a dollar sign on a hook tied to the class morph and weapon skill idea threads-

Please, no more classes, ZOS.
Maybe 4th skill-line or just 1 more skill in each skill line, but no new classes.

In fact, remove them all and/or make a respec for gold

Oompuh

Whatever class it shall be, I shall make it a tank

Gidorick

LOL. @TheShadowScout is starting to be as bad as I am. LOVE IT!

Van_0S

Copcat class.
That takes active and passive of your pervious characters class and can add to this class but the slots are limited.

ajwest927

New classes mean I to start a new character and I don't have time for that, it would be much easier if they just add more skill lines to our existing classes

No COD mechanics. Just on principle.

Digiman

They can't balance the 60 class abilities in total. Another 15 will make it more problematic.

If they do that then we never see any new content for a long time, then we people would complain about that.

Xarc

Zos make the game with 4 classes :
- a tanking class
- a heal class
- a mage class
- a night / blade class

In the end, the perfect group of 4 for everything. What could we need else ? I don't see. Tell me i'm curious.

SkoomaAddict420

Ice Bringer class coming soon...

TheMachineKiller

They're too busy re-designing everything they've made to make new things.

CaptainBeerDude

Ice magic. Needs its own class though. Otherwise Nords will be OP.

Eshelmen

@Xarcus

Yeah... you guys are right.

Having only 4 classes for an mmo with a 5 + year goal , speaks of having insane depth. What was I thinking? Oh the horror from just a simple question!

Let's not forget that for each class and specific playstyle (PVP or PVE) only a handful of their skills are viable to use. Which makes each class and their skills seem repetitive.
So yes, I think IMHO asking a question about possible future plans for implementing new classes, is quite appropriate.

As well, there are a handful of shared skills between those classes too, making the depth of those classes a bit lacking and actually kind of (like I said before) repetitive.
Got a resto staff? Well, I know what you're doing with that.
Got duel wield on your main bar,and you're a magicka user? Well, I know what you're doing there too.
Oh, you've got wrecking blow or poison arrow? Of course. Oh you've got shields? Wow, never seen that before either....

Don't get me wrong, I love this game. But I would like to see more classes down the road.

Another class that can shield stack(or a summoner similar to a sorx), or another stealthy type of player(Like a NB) but with a twist(different approach)or another class with heals in their skill lines.
There are hundreds of class possibilities that could be added, yet there only needs to be a few added here, to make a significant difference between having limited choices and a having decent selection.

Race wise, there is plenty. But classes? Only four? eh

Drakoleon

Its been 2.5 years zeni's masterminds haven't manage to balance the existing ones ! You need more(bugs,exploits etc...)?

juhasman

Spellcrafting seems to be more reasonable solution to add something fresh. Adding new class means You would need to make new character level it up and other staff like this but spellcrafting allows You to create something new on Your already existing characters.
