Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little bit of a deviation in class from the regular melee or ranged, brute strength or strategic caster characters concepts? …I mean something that would totally revolutionize the game strategy and separate GW from its competitors...such as WOW.

With nightfall on our heels 2 new classes are coming and personally I’m excited about the paragon but the dervish…eeeehh not so much.

So I ask you this...

What would your reaction be as a GW player to c an Engineer class come into play.

Think about it... one who changes battlefield navigational strategies instead of just casting and build combos.

Imagine this if u will a class that works on the trapping ranger principle building temporary things such as siege weapons...barricades...defense structures, ?turrets? and ?walls?.

Seriously u cant say that wouldn’t b cool. For weapons he could have rifles (yeah I know like WOW) or some sort of grenades.

Of course there are some problems...a full group of these guys would b kind of annoying in something like HOH or Alliance battles. There would probably have to b a limit to 1 engineer per 4 people in a party...but with things like the 5 hour dreaded elite missions I wouldn’t mind 3 siege turrets to take out the enemy.

I guess I’m a dreamer but tell me what u thing and any other character concepts u guys dreamt about.

Cheers 4 now

They have to keep it atleast reasonably lifelike, even with spells flying about all over the place, I don't think 1 man could build siege towers alone.

The topic is in the wrong place. Not to mention what you mentioned above already exists - it's the Ritualist, who's able to build "turrets" (the spirits). One of the Arena Net designers made this comparison himself, in the CGW article that had a Factions preview.

*heart attack*

oh god, I thought one of the Anet staff we're considering one of the classes made by someone from GwG...

EDIT: wait a minute... who moved this here... this was moved from Sardelac to here???

i dont ever want to see another topic about the dumb idea: "engineer"

yeah lets have everyone base their builds about making their own defense towers out of no where, and walls?... brick wall, stone wall? o magic wall, wait, their engineers... who says they can do magic stuff? .. its already got a pigeon hole, SO FALL IN ALREADY....

Moved from Game and Dev Tracker forum to Riverside Inn.

EDIT: 20/20 hindsight tells me Sardelac Sanitarium might have been a better choice >.<

I saw the title and posted just to say "No."

Vermilion · Aug 10, 2006, 09:55 PM // 21:55

Im finding it hard to believe this is a serious idea. Of course when people say engineer I keep thinking either the class from Battlefield 2 or those things in Halo. >.<
