Why there is no new class?

wsxdrfv · August 2020

I am interest more in class and skills, magics than story or others.

This game needs more enhanced, additional battle mechanics, class.

Why greymoore don't have new class?

volkeswagon · August 2020

cause they couldn't come up with anything interesting. They don't bring out a new class every year. Previously it's been every two years.

RPGplayer13579 · August 2020

Is there something specific that you are looking for? Something that the current 6 available classes don't provide?

That seems a bit harsh and disingenuous. They seem to follow a pattern with chapters, alternating between classes and new non-class skill lines. So Morrowind had the warden class, Summerset had jewelrycrafting and Psijic, Elsweyr had the necromancer class, and this one had antiquities. So maybe next chapter, if the pattern holds?

Infinite possibility is best for gamer. So 6 classes is way more short.

it was a joke. What I said aftewards was pretty much what you said. Maybe next year they will have one unless they can't think of something worth bringing out. I don't see many ideas on the forums for possible new classes. Perhaps a crafting class that offers refining and farming buffs but little combat abilities

Clearly I’ve lost my ability to tell if someone’s joking or not. I blame lack of sleep. Yeah...that’s it. 😳

sleep is good

Syldras · August 2020

It's the internet. You'll read every kind of opinion somewhere, no matter how grotesque. So you can never know for sure if someone is serious or not

NotaDaedraWorshipper · August 2020

Well, it is possible that we get battle-mage class in next year's chapter. Which was a class along with wardens that was planned from the start.

JamieAubrey · August 2020

They can't fix the ones we have now

Banana · August 2020

This is the year of pretend performance fixes. Maybe next year

deleted221106-002999 · August 2020

They're still in the process of destroying re-imagining the ones we currently have.

That way when they introduce a new class in a future dlc chapter it will appear to be comparatively amazing.

My money's on the next new class being able to use skills more frequently than every 3 seconds. Or just to actually be able to use skills/core abilities consistently.

wsxdrfv · August 2020

In battle, need more Intenseness, timing, need more powerful.

You should refer from japan games, MHW, Nioh2 for example.

More action detailed needed. You already have good ingredient those games don't get, you get fantasy, magic, its good theme. But battle system is way more primitive for now....

BlueRaven · August 2020

They seem to come out with one every other chapter.

Morrowind - Warden

Summerset - None

Elsweyr - Necromancer

Greymoor - None

Considering the classes in ESO do not have the artificial limitations many other MMORPGs implement there is far greater possibilities than most games in this genre provide. I prefer what we have to the controlling, and limiting nature of class designs in other games.

Further, it makes sense to have a cadence of bringing in new classes and alternate years with bringing in other new aspects to the game.

UntilValhalla13 · August 2020

I mean, the last class they released STILL doesn't work right.

Dracofyre · August 2020

we could get Bards as solo/buff group support.

Troubators, pure melee dual weapon experts, when in group speed buffs, mix light/mid armors, plays violin while buffing the speed buffs.
Skalds, enchanter, battlesinger, heavy/Mid armor, sword and dagger, or battle intraments, flute, harp, cast bravery buffs to group, DPS buffs.
Dirge, mix light and heavy armors, use bagpipes to debuffs and cast fear with death songs, used 2-handeds weapons. use slow or stuns.

let work on some ideas on bard tree skills.

i would like to see Monks (chakra master, shaolin, and drunk master) and Druids (as shapshifters, nature healer, and summoner).

Mortiis13 · August 2020

I think it's time for additional weapons and weapons skill lines.
Melee magicka and an midrange, spear?, stamina weapon atleast.

But I think this will never happen, they have to create new weapons for every motif, and we all know they like to copy/paste only in the last time.
I mean we are swinging daggers like maces and it's only 2 animations to change to not look dumb when using daggers.
And looking at vampire... Oh boy!

YstradClud · August 2020

They seem to like adding skill lines more then creating more classes. I am quietly sitting back waiting for a class I would like to re-roll though. I was tempted to roll a warden but it looks like it still needs some work.

richo262 · August 2020

The pattern so far is

Morrowind - Class Warden
Summerset - Skill line Psijic / Jewelry
Els - Class Necro
Greymoor - Skill line Mobile game / Shovel

If there is to be a new class (I hope there isn't) it will be in the next chapter, if the pattern remains.

Eifleber · August 2020

I also want more options - but not by means of another class.
The only result will be even more unbalance because in some circumstances some classes will always be better.

I'd rather have more diverse existing clsases:
1. Add a 4th skill line to all classes
2. Add a 3rd morph to existing skills
3. Orther class specific stuff, like weapons or gear (cosmetic or not)

Canned_Apples · August 2020

They can't even balance the classes they currently have and you want them to add more?

They need to stop yo-yoing and drastically shifting the "meta" every three months before they even consider adding a new class.

It wouldn't be in such a bad place if they actually listened to player feedback.

6 classes x 4 roles = 24 possible options.

On top of that, Stamina characters can also choose between bows and 1- or 2-handed weapons, and within the latter there's a sub-set of 4 weapon types to choose from (and mix, if dual wielding).

Then you've got non-class skill-lines, and all the different armour sets. There's lots of opportunity for customisation already.

You're severely limiting yourself if you're only thinking in terms of class alone.

If anything, what we need is another weapon option for Magicka characters.

bmnoble · August 2020

I don't recall them saying they were adding one with Greymore why would you expect something they did not say they were adding at any point during the lead up to the chapter release?

As it is they usually release one every second chapter, probably to give them a chance to attempt to balance each new class they add.

notyuu · August 2020

Because a new class doesn't add anything for existing players at the character limit and/or not alt compatible.
on top of that it adds on even more challenge to the balance nightmare for the devs
AND a pile of work to create animations and effects..not to mention the idea for the powers/class to begin with and the bug testing

so you can imagine trying to all that from home due to the plague and best case scenario it ends up upsetting a chunk of the player base...nah, instead easier, safer and "longer lasting" to add in a system that adds content to every zone..even the older ones.

Thats not nightmare, at least it is paid job. Then it must be sweet dream. If they don't, then just quit.

Literally a impossible request to fulfil. We'll get a new class every now and again, as other have pointed out IF the pattern holds we will get a new one next year.

Nobody 'just quits' their job in the US. Most people don't have the luxury of 'just quitting' regardless of where they live.

So, now it's crystal clear you have no idea how game development actually works.

DarkPicture · August 2020

New class will not change your gameplay at all. They should release new guilds, weapons, world skill lines. Rework soul magic skill line and make standardisation for all skill lines where we missing 5th skill or ultimate.
