Enhanced Character Creation and lvl 60 Tryout's

[BlueBrolly]

Enhanced Character Creation

-Use Emotes
-Allow to sheath weapon
-Show walk, running, and jump animations

Level 60 Tryouts

-Login to a demo map to test level 60 skills and actions.

Committing to grind all the way to 60 to try all the skills and realize I wasted my time because tanking with X class or healing with X class just didn't feel "right". GW has the login to max level and the idea for trying out a class is really good.


-side note, it would be cool to pvp your friends using a duel system. (This probably has already been asked)

No.

Just no.

Ok going to assume your serious here.. hopefully I am not wrong in that assumption.

Trying out any class at 60 your most likely not going to enjoy it, get a feel for what it can or be any good with it. Why? The experience of leveling through dungeons/fates/quests lets you slowly get introduced to your new skills and abilities, allows you to learn when and how to use them properly. A try out system would be counter productive and would likely push more people away then bring in simply because jumping into any class right at 60 would feel confusing for most people, they would have no idea what to do.. if they did a try out dungeon and got grouped with people who also didn't know what they were doing, they would likely encounter wipes, frustration, and most likely trolling.

What I can say is this.. don't play a class hoping that it will get better if you just don't like it within the first 30 levels. Getting your job abilities will mostly(not always but mostly) add cooldowns to buff/improve skills you already have. So if your not enjoying it by then, try something else out until you find something you really enjoy.

As far as a duel system goes, I don't see any downsides but I don't PvP very often so I guess someone with more experience with that would have a better answer.

Edited because I forgot to include the advanced character creation part, but I can agree that being able to see more emotes when creating your character would be nice.

While it's hard to judge a class at say, level 20, I think you can have a good idea if you would like that class or not... "committing to the grind" is part of the game.

Though the first part of your idea (emotes etc), yeah that'd be cool.

[Obysuca]

>_> The use emotes is the only actual decent idea tbh. Or it should at least use more of the emotes where you hear the character's voice, because /chuckle is not /laugh lol The what, 3? 4? emotes it does use for voices can make some sound nice, but then you get in game and when attacking, falling or doing other emotes, it can sound horrible.

No.

Just no.

Why wouldn't you want this?

Being a level 60 class means the game assumes you went through the long learning process to get there and know how to play it. Trying to jump into a level 60 class without having touched it ever or only being a few levels into it will probably not warm you up to the idea of playing it because it'll feel too difficult and/or overwhelming. The learning curve would be too steep especially with some of the more complicated roles.

You can try out level 60. Level the class~

Trying out a class in a training zone sounds great, because think of the people who are already 60 on that class and want the ability to practice their mechanics in dungeon play solo.

Also, it would be great to build hype, drop in a mostly finished class a patch before unveiling, let the players run the numbers and do the theory crafting for the devs to tweak before it hits live.

Also, despite what people want to believe it really truly doesn't take that long to learn a class if you do a little research. Which is something you should be doing once you hit 60 anyways. If you make a point to read all the tooltips, figure out possibilities of how skills pertain to each other then it shouldn't take more than a couple hours to to be able to at least play the class with some efficiency. Give it a couple of days and there's no reason you shouldn't be playing at the top of your game.

Using more emotes during character creation is a good idea


But "trying out" level 60 is not. Just level the damn class. You will never know how to use all your skills if you don't build your knowledge through leveling.
