Crossbreeds, the question is... TO BE, OR NOT TO BE!

[Vigilant]

No, I didn't make this thread to ask if I should be a 1337 ninja Archer with a wand.

I made this thread for discussion, but I really want a answer from the Devs.

Will you stop crossbreeding by making bows for only archers? Staffs and wands for only Enchantresses? Swords and 2H's for only Bears?

If you patch this, you realize there will be a lot of hate.

Do you guys ever plan to stop this at all?

*cough* Crossbreds *cough*

And I think that people should do whatever they feel like doing in terms of equipment usage so long as it doesn't turn into an insta-overpowered character that could break PvP.

[Vigilant]

I know rofl, I fixed it.

[Hurs]

Haha :P

10char

Haha :P

10char

So yeah,,, umm lets discuss eh.

[Hurs]

I added some discussion material to my first post XD

But just to reiterate... don't change it unless some combination is too powerful (hence breaking PvP).

[haroldiv]

i would really like to know this too. i realize this is an ipad/iphone game but most MMO's have 5-10 races to choose from and those generally have 3-4 class choices. with the limited ammount chars i think it is integral to let this practice continue. Even if you guys release 3 more classes it still wont be enough if they are locked to a race. it would be bland and this game is anything but bland.

We very much encourage people to come up with new and crazy ways to play the game.

Nice, 'tis good to hear ^_^

I like the crazy way to play the game, but please consider keeping it all in the confines of the class. Like for instance make archers wear only archer gear, ya know!! However, there can be a lot of loot out there so that the chances of players obtaining the exact same loot will not be possible, and also like in a post I submitted earlier that no DEV's replied to (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...ill-Suggestion). If steps like this are taken, your game will then be able to attract all types of players because it will offer a good sense of stability while still allowing players to be diverse and in this day in age everyone wants to be UNIQUE. So for those far out players one can still be oneself.

What i think should be done is just make the uber strong bows and all have the requirement ARCHER ONLY and vice versa with axes swords and staffs and wands !! but allow any class to use greens and oranges but keep purps and pinks to that class only !! PLEASE DEVS PLEASE WE NEED BALANCE ! BETWEEN CLASSES

Why do that? It's actually a great way to keep players (Specially me, and others with a simillar enjoyment of games) find fun in playing through in non-traditional ways. You'll get bored eventually, so why not be unique to keep yourself happy?

Also adds a better sense of community, as two characters built in the same quirky way= Instant-Friend. (From my experience. xD)

I completely disagree, the only reason you should be bored is if the DEV's do not bring out good and lasting content, the game needs to get much more technical so that there will not be a chance even if gear is stuck to your respective class there will be no chance of getting boring or feeling like you are complete. This will make the game an ever ending process, what MMO's are supposed to be PVP will alleviate much of the issues, but will compound their rudimentary skill and armor set. The game however, is moving in the right direction, it just has a very very long way to go.

Well, following a cookie-cutter style like everyone else appeals to me not. There's not a single game where I don't restrict myself for fun. xD

Sorry if I come off as rude, but this subject is questioning my enjoyment of this game in general (If it were to be removed), the whole crossbreeding thing doesn't really harm anyone, it just adds some flare. Now, what COULD be done, is that like suggested before in another thread, give each class a 10% bonus to their respective weapons so they're the dominant ones of their species' weapons of choice.

Then I can be left in my little corner alone to play quirky characters. And when guilds are added, I could create "Quirky", the guild of quirky characters. I think that sounds fun. xD

[Flamin]

This might solve the problem.

I'm all for crossbreeds but why not give archers a 10% bonus with bows, a mage a 10% bonus with staffs, and warriors a 10% bonus with swords?

[Plainodd]

This might solve the problem.

Which I mentioned in my post, as well.

To be honest, it's the solution to all the problems with "Crossbreeding".

And then we can all be happy and you guys can have a buff out of it, and I can go through and be happy because it wont be an issue.

Edit: Though, it's not really an issue to ME right now. The crossbreeding I do would be considered more of a self-nerf, so the affect on me isn't a problem, as long as weapons don't become specialized.

If that ever does happen, I'll be the first punching mage.

I think bow bears are going to be PVP breaking >_>

Except that their only awesome burst is when Rage is up x.x

If you quickly take out one of the other teams members while rage is up, then you stand a decent chance to win. Not to mention you can throw up evade and ironblood and hope rage comes back soon to take out another. If you have a warrior at you just stomp, ping pong, and then there is beckon for the runners who want to heal, ping pong.

[Hurs]

Except that with a 5 man team, taking out one person doesn't insta-flip the tables. Enchantresses still have Resurrect and all those fun spells ^^

A good Warrior would just beckon the Bow-Bear to him and then follow it with a SMS, HS and then Stomp.
