Archanist Question(s)

[EinSoFZ]

For Arcanist I expected *something* other just being able to use it right away willy nilly. Like a short quest explaining the origins of the role or anything kind of along those lines. I suppose all the other classes are available from the start and new players would maybe wonder why they need to do something to unlock one and not the others but still.....

That what you looking for is the class quests. Remember those that were avaiable every five levels or something in 1.0?
I hear they're expanding on those, ought to be amazing. There's no need to require an unlock on a base class to learn about it's story.

Classes like musketeer are already in place at cities, but if they do this to the katana wielding class I'm going to call a huge BS retcon flag.

Nah, that's called coherency. None of the base classes needed unlocks, why would a new base class need an unlock?
There are many things that could be done, the guild staff could move into one of the cities, the guild could be set in a completely new city too, but the seventy-seven caravans would see that the weapons are sold wherever it's needed.

There are ways of gracefully handling adding a new class, putting it behind some bs quest is not one of them given how no other class was hidden behind a quest.

It doesnt have to be a quest - but it has to be shown / done. Your caravan samurais are coming in idea would be cool. But if I just installed the expansion and boom all the cities are stocked with Samurai weapons I will call bs lol

+1 for using caravans I feel SE should make a trade network.. moar caravan usage!

Out of curiosity, if you had a curved blade class, a sword-and-shield class, and a rapier class all among Swordsman, what would you call them, and how do you think that would go for the Japanese titles?

Fencer and Gladiator are already set for us... "Ronin" could go by the way of Ninja or Samurai, or maybe Ninja will stem from Thief or Scout, etc. Either way it's hard to get that 'perfect fit' for the curved blade class title.

Thats what the Arcanist guild quests are for, just like every other class/job. or so i thought. maybe i'm just not at negative about their choices...
