You will be able to change your class to any other class your race is capable of right up to level 10 when it becomes final.

Well then I hope even if the class isn't out they let us know what races they plan for our class to be.

I'd prefer that they put in the class anyways and then make improvements as they go along. That way, for the people who wanted to play this class aren't stuck with having to dink around on a secondary character while they wait for their real class to be implemented.

Even if they were gimped, they could still level and progress the character while they waited for the fixes.

Agreed, since we still aren't sure if we even want to play these classes. By the time they get implemented, raids will be happening and Inquisitors might just get left behind in the dust storm of powerlevelers. Adding new classes to a game usually has one of two effects:

1) Flavor of the Month
2) No one cares for it

Neither is good. You either have tons of maxed out Paladins, Warriors, and Dread Knights switching to Inquisitor just to try it, inflating numbers to the point people hate grouping with them, or no one cares about the class and are cautious to even invite them since they'd rather rely on the dependable Warrior they've been grouping with for ages.

Although this news is definitely a blow for those planning to play Inquisitors, it's not the end of the world.

I was playing EQ and was in a fairly high end raid guild with a max level character when the Vah Shir was released. I was so enamored with the race that I made a new toon and declared my intention to the guild to switch mains to that character. I continued making our scheduled raids with my old main and leveled the Vah Shir warrior in my off time. After a month or two my cat met the minimum requirements to apply to my guild and I officially switched main characters and started to raid with him. About 6 months later he was completely up to speed and I never looked back.

If the Inquisitor doesn't make it in by launch, people who want to play it will be behind their friends if they switch... but leveling is always faster the second time around, and I'm sure they will be able to catch back up.

Its not the ideal solution, but it can be done.

Personally, I'm going to continue hoping that the Inquisitor makes it in for release as I was pretty much torn between Dread knight and Inquisitor as my class of choice. If its not in, I'll play a Dread knight at release and then decide if i want to switch once they put it in.

im torn between ... an offesnive fighter, or a defensive fighter .... i love playing both and they all sound so cool O.O

Fingers crossed that with the change of publishers and the now new extended Beta that we will be worked in

radhazg · 05-30-2006, 12:28 PM

indeed, heres hoping our "inquisitive" friends get to join us upon release! Since the publisher switch I'm betting the release date that was in mind (or rather, M$'s mind) has been pushed back at least a bit. So its more likely they will make it.

I am not at all suprised that this class is going to be late to enter the game.

Making this class will be like walking a mine field. The 3 Tank class's we have now, cover a pretty decent area.

To add this tank in the mix will take some pretty bright thinkers to make it so that it does not step on any other tanks toes to much or make it so that it doesnt out shine the other tanks to much. Sure its easy to come up with more types of tanks, but to come up with a tank that doesnt cross to many toes and totally different stands out in its own right.

Well thats a pretty tall order.

So to hear that they are taking their time on it, while it sucks that it wont be out for release, speaks well of their intention to make it right the first time around.
