Will you play the new class, the Arcanist

They need to make changing class part of the lore, I know tokens seem like a good solution, but we gotta get away from the crown store. Make it so we can class change in the game naturally!

You mean like how it’s done in one of their mmo competitors? That would be awesome. Then we could all just have 1 character that can change class to what’s needed rather than having 18 separate characters. I bet it would clean up a bunch of clutter on the character maintenance side of things too.

I’ve often wondered if they counted each new character creation as a “new player” when coming up with their end of year growth calculations. Lol

Depends on feedback from the PTS. I wasn't a fan of warden and ignored necro for that reason. This combat team has not impressed. Old classes are the best. Aesthetically it looks like another class with green translucent animations. So far, so warden.

Does it come with a carbuncle too?

I only got that job to level 11 lol. Capped WHM, SGE, RPR, GNB, DNC and current working on BLM. I might switch back though, I like Carbuncle.

A bit glad the ESO version doesn’t seem have a carbuncle though. We already have enough issues over sorc pets. Lol

disintegr8

Yes, but only if they allow class change tokens.

Not deleting any of my 18 characters for it, so extra character slots would need to be provided, or maybe class change tokens (if they aren't too expensive).

depend of skill tree and gameplay.
if it's look cool on pts i'm ready to invest in an arcanist healer.
but as is see the portal system of the class look chaotic for me.

Depends. Does it come with a character slot?

Araneae6537

Yes, looking forward to it.

Wow, why would you need to do that? You wouldn’t need the skill points… Most don’t wish to grind guild lines or skill points in general. Everyone plays the game differently, of course, but personally, I can’t see doing these on any character. On my main story character I’ll do the main and their alliance questline and then areas as I get to them… But why would they work for another alliance? Other characters do other stories, inlcuding alliance, and between those and dungeons and skyshards, I get enough skill points.

Faulgor

No, I have a main and/or alt. No more for me.

Unless they introduce class change tokens, no.

I haven't even fully brought my Necromancers up to speed.

Khenarthi

Yes, looking forward to it.

I'm an alcoholic and cannot resist new character slots, I'm also excited about trying new abilities

RaddlemanNumber7

Yes, looking forward to it.

For the sake of exploration. Maybe I'll find something interesting.

Yes, I like to have characters in all specs, and I have slots available, so I will absolutely make an arcanist, and try the class out. It's early to say because the PTS is not out yet, but from the preview, I doubt it will replace my main characters, as I wasn't a fan of the visuals and animations (they seemed poorly designed and mobile game-like), and the skills looked a bit clanky.

Jammy420

No, to much hassle.

Most likely not. I didnt see the class change token option, but yeah, without a class change token, I simply cannot rationalise spending HUNDREDS of hours exploring everything again , simply because the devs are too obstinate to put in a class change token.

Jammy420

No, to much hassle.

I have 0 desire to plod at turtle speeds while I do daily mount training which generally means I park the alt at a stablemaster and just log in once a day for half a year.
I have 0 desire to train crafting on a new character

I still have 2-3 characters that I've barely touched they're just both at level 50 because of how stale repeating the same quest lines and delves is.. after having them just camp a stablemaster for half a year before I used them at all as it is.

New class requiring new character was one of the last things I could have desired from a new chapter.
I don't even have a necromancer because of these things.

Same. I have emotional attachment to my 3 characters. I have spent years playing this game through ad nauseum, and refuse to play through ALL the content, like I did on them, for a new class. No way. The only way I would even consider it, is if I got a class change token.

No because I won't buy the chapter.

LukosCreyden

Yes, but only if they allow class change tokens.

Would've rather had new skill lines that everyone can use, or at least the ability to change class. That is just me though, my friend is super excited for the new class. To be fair, it does look really cool.

DarcyMardin

Yes, looking forward to it.

Absolutely. A new class is exactly what I was hoping for. Bring it on!

Vrienda

Maybe, but not looking forward to the grind.

If I get the expansion I'll have a throwaway Arcanist alt, just like with the necromancer.

But I have a main I'm married to more or less. Doesn't matter what class they introduce, for me to be satisfied playing another char they'd need to have done every quest in the game like she has. Every dungeon, every dlc and chapter etc.

Of course I will create an arcanist when the new chapter comes out.

Then I'll park him at the stable master and login regulary to level mount speed and crafting professions. When the character has finished all riding lessons and is max level in all crafting professions I'll powerlevel him. No need to play through all the quests again.

After all that I think ZOS has done some inevitable adjustments and I can play the class as it's meant to be played by ZOS.

FuBi0

Yes, but only if they allow class change tokens.

This is more along the lines of the class I wanted in the beginnning but without a class change token, it's a no go. I simply don't have the time to regrind all the content. I don't see them enabling class changes though. I'll live without it.

It would be nice to have a 'maybe' option that doesn't make assumptions about the reason.

I will definitely try it out, but I want to see how it actually works and if it's a class I want to play before I make a decision, rather than going purely off the marketing.

Although I've got at least 1 of each class so far, so I might make one just to complete the set, but that doesn't mean I'll actually play them much.

SeaGtGruff

Yes, looking forward to it.

I seriously doubt it. But they probably count new accounts purchased by existing players as "new players."

I'm guessing you meant to type "altaholic"!

If it isn't super egregiously Hermaeous Mora themed (for ex. if it's viable to avoid using the tentacle skills), then yes.

Lugaldu

Yes, looking forward to it.

I can not wait! But I also hope that you can change your class and that my main character, who already has an affinity for Hermaeus Mora, can follow this path.

With a extra character slot then yes, i shall not buy a extra slot.

HertoginJanneke

I need class change tokens or (three) extra character slots to play the Arcanist. I've put too much time and effort in my characters in mount training (all 18 are maxed out) and crafting (17 are 8-trait crafters, 1 is a 9-trait crafter) and all know too much mofits, recipes and furnishing pages to delete one. In other words "One does not simply delete characters"

Taggund

Other: Flesh this out in your comments.

Yes, just to try it. Not looking forward to grinding out mount training and Antiquities skill lines, so doubt it will replace my main.

SpacemanSpiff1

Yes, looking forward to it.

yes! it's been the most request feature for years now.

Lumenn

Yes, looking forward to it.

I'll give it a shot. I really don't mind leveling and doing the quests again(should I choose to) the ONLY part that I'll have an issue with is furniture/crafting plans, recipes etc having to make sure my main knows them, but I do that with alts already. Well, that and the fact that they DIDN'T GIVE US A MONK! But, I'll survive. I'll endure. "Sniff" I'll make it. /Wipes away tear. I'll be fine......

phantasmalD

No, I have a main and/or alt. No more for me.

Because otherwise they will get stuck in your quest journal forever, since they can't be abandoned. If you can get past the psychological need to tick everything off a to-do list, then I guess it's not a big deal. But some people definitely feel it's essential to have a clean log.

Onomog

Maybe, but not looking forward to the grind.

The grind is daunting, especially mount training. Maybe it would be less so if I were more excited about the new stuff, or the game in general.
