I mean, first of all, warriors and monks are not even near original to start with, so why the complains over assassins, druids and such.

Its IMPOSSIBLE to get new class that does not share similarity with either the existing GW classes or in other games. Theres so many games out there that ideas may already being used up. Only room left for creativity is variation.

Besides, whether the new classes are original or not, its entirely depends on personal preferences.

Does other games having a particular class means GW has no right to use it? Maybe we should do away with warriors (e.g. barbarians/fighters in other games) or elementalists (e.g. mages in other games). It would be near impossible if Anet has to make designs that do not share similarity to so many other games out there.

I just do not see the point in comparing with other games when implementing new classes. The important thing is whether there is redundancy in the role of the new classes with the existing classes and skill balancing (which Anet has being doing dedicately).

A) Me thinks this belongs in riverside or sardelac.
B) I think people are just looking for something new and creative. This assasin may be completely different and original from other assasins(i.e. diablo) but people will still complain just because its called an assasin. I may be wrong on that, thats just what i think is happeneing. But I wonder how people can complain before its even out. thats what gets me.

I don't know, or give a shit.

I do think you should've stuck this in one of the OTHER threads about it, though, instead of wasting forum space with an entire new thread. I want to give this a lock!

I can't, though. But you just wait...!

TheEPIC · Nov 20, 2005, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Um, yeah, why exactly is this here? I'm confused. Savio please put this one in a forum that actually talks about this kind of ON topic stuff.

Monseir · Nov 20, 2005, 06:44 PM // 18:44

Err....some people don't like assassin. Thats it. Period.

[insert topic title here]

answer:

Because they can and will complain.

I liked the pirate idea more...I wish they'd make a pirate MMO

the only thing i would complain about the assasin class is that it doesnt seem to fit in a fantasy type of game.....druids fit.....what other stuf is there......we could have another evil class like the necro like a undead dude.

benmanhaha · Nov 21, 2005, 12:41 AM // 00:41

Aracos79 · Nov 21, 2005, 01:42 AM // 01:42

I would SO play a MMO if it was something like Pirates!

Lou · Nov 21, 2005, 01:45 AM // 01:45

well, this IS GUILD wars. people might want to hire assasins to kill enemy guild lords.

and undead peoples would be smelly.

Aracos79 · Nov 21, 2005, 04:15 AM // 04:15

Druids would fit into the current lore nicely though. You hear about them a lot in Maguuma

heist23 · Nov 21, 2005, 04:16 AM // 04:16

yeah, but....we have rangers for that.

pyrohex · Nov 21, 2005, 04:18 AM // 04:18

Wish they'd come up with something original of their own, rather than whine...

Hahaha, yeah. And if you asked them to come up with a better name they would suggest something like "I Stabz p30ples."

Assasins are kinda like ninjas, so I'll bet the whiners are the ones that think Pirates come out on top on the Pirates vs. Ninjas Increasingly Pointless Argument.

Sore losers. Sam Fisher pwns Ninjas AND Pirates. At the SAME TIME!
