Dear AGS, release 1 new class per month is useless

So they’d round up the dps by adding Destroyer, when Warrior has 2 DPS already and the top Support.

i support this message and the previous…

As i said for people who expect to play one of missing class as main there will be a choice :

  1. Or they play without it, to do content, and will have hundreds hour of gametime to spend just for the “new main” to become the main. Including to freeze the “previous” main in its own progression. With a nice feeling of “time lost” which will be a nice frustration
  2. just stick at 1325/1340/1370 ilvl for different character, letting other people enjoy the game, and gathering honing stuff to rush the new main => frustration to not enjoy the game

Neither choices are good

@Inuro oh 100% and if you are someone pushing the hardmodes of Legion Commanders or Brelshaza… better be ready to swipe if you want to reroll because there’s no grinding that will catch you up in a reasonable amount of time with all the timegates/rng involved

And to @Aerlana and @Zaee. The third option for people who want to play a missing class will be (as Zaee already mentioned) to swipe a lot. Which is exactly what AGS and Smilegate want. That sweet, sweet profit.

People defending this either already found a main to play, or don’t yet realize they won’t be rerolling. Or they are whales.

I am just waiting for the updated roadmap and probably taking a break until my main is released.

It is worse… because for some people, their choice could be 1 or 2, the temptation to swipe a lot to make it faster will be real. Because getting over 1400, even with 12 reroll ready and many component waiting…

And this is what zaee exactly says ^^’

@Inuro mhm and even Saintone who notoriously stockpiled a TON of mats to immediately reroll to Sorc when it came out, still had to swipe a bit iirc. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure he said he still didn’t have enough mats at first. But i mean he’s a self-professed whale anyway. My guild is pretty hardcore so this is potentially my future depending on where they decide to shaft Summoner next but at this point i’m just expecting a December release.

Imagine being a regular f2p player. If your class comes in December, if you didn’t quit already due to disappointment and lack of connecting with your forced main then you’re looking at quite the uphill battle to swap mains or risk not running with friends/guildmates/statics until you catch up

And before someone mentions the Punika Powerpass and the catchup that KR has to 1435 ilvl - there’s no timeline nor guarantee that we’ll even get a Punika Powerpass and let’s be honest, the West historically does not take to boosts like this very well because they feel it invalidates all their hard work and selling this would get the same backlash FFXIV gets for their boosts.

As for the catchup, well we can’t even get that until we at least have Kouku Saton since he’s part of it lol

Then you still have to bridge the gap from 1435-1490 which is very expensive in materials and resources. Plus you’ll need to farm optimal tripods in your gear, level 7+ gems (sure you can stockpile and reroll them but rip silver?), assuming you’re a whale you’ll be in plus 20-25 Argos gear so at least you won’t need your Legion Commander set. If you played the class before at endgame, jumping into Legion raids shouldn’t be too hard but if you only played it in like beta like Summoner - you may die a bit. Fun fun

Don’t worry though. Just play a class you don’t enjoy and reroll in 7 months. That’s what people on this forum are saying

About the “papunika pass” mentionned as “non real help” by zaee.
For people still in t2, your are slowed by 40% base honing to go +14=>+15 right ? my weapon is stuck +7 now because of the base 30% to go 7=>8
And while in t1/t2 each honing gives 20 ilvl on the item, 3,333 on the whole stuff… in t3 it is 5 ilvl on the item, 0,83 on the whole stuff…

Understand that getting instant 1302 ilvl is just offering the easy part of the work…

1 classes per week would be nice

@Jheon read this and then kindly stop talking please. Even Roxx has responded that the amount of backlash is staggering so clearly you are the minority here

man I’m waiting for destroyer and I personally want to play destroyer before it gets reworked to see what they actually plan to change… also I agree 1 class per month is just awful specially when the game is brand new it makes more sense to release more classes at least at the early stages.

Yes because the destroyer isnt really a dps and has a very impressive tank focused build but hey research is hard…

Gunlancer has a tank build and a literal taunt, still considered a DPS.

Indeed, research is VERY hard for you.

“Releasing one class per month is useless”

Amazon: We heard the feed back and will be releasing them one every 2 to 3 months instead.

They should release all characters and skins that are already in the game elsewhere in the world… except for the new contentanything that has been around for a while should already be in-game.

AGS are grossly mistaken in their thinking that dribbling content in will keep the game alive… On the contrary… dribbling content in, will do the complete opposite, it will kill the game. People will leave out of frustration.

I am already frustrated at the lack of skins…
My main toon’s (1) skin is not what I want her to wear.

There will not be a lack of future content as the game is still going strong in Korea… So there is no need for AGS to hold content back as there will be more content to come for a very long time.

So AGS, stop holding content back that is already in the game… You are/will drive players away with frustration and yes… impatience…
This will KILL an already very good game

AGS… listen to your players…

I AGREE 100%

Also like someone else said.

If they dont want to release all classes at once…they should give us the option to UNLOCK one class once a month. So everybody gets their favorite class.

either way its fine for me

WRONG

The korean director said amazon made many decisions that he did not agree with.

He also blamed amazon for delay.

so amazon does have some power.

I DISAGREE COMPLETELY

Lost Ark has remained popular in korea for a long time and all their content was released fast.
If its still relevant there then it will be relevant in the west too.

Releasing all content at once does not hurt a game. It will help the game because of variety.

People seem to think classes are real content. Like “oh hey a new class is out, let’s go play that class for the next month until a new class comes out.”

Yeah no, nobody actually plays like that.

Here, here! Well said. Open the Gates ASG and Smilegate. Open them wide…and let the classes flow freely.
