You mean the grossly overpowered/imbalanced played-by-a-dev class that will be inevitably nerfed into the ground before or when that dev leaves the company? The one that can ignore/bypass the limited action set, mez four mobs, and DPS better than any other class, currently? The one that's multi-class/multi-role, and unlike all other classes, gets both in combat and out of combat content placed in the world by content designers?
Not so much. I've read this book before, I know how it ends. Their class 'design' is as bad as their world 'design' and it shows.
They're reluctant to open alpha for a lot of reasons, but one of them is because they know it will mean Class Envy with an audience of thousands instead of hundreds. And in this case, it's a valid complaint, objectively.

No... I meant the not boring as shit, actually might be fun to juggle different responsibilities class that still needs to be refined further because the game in pre-alpha.

'Different responsibilities' translates to multi-class/multi-role. For example, the Rogue filling multiple roles of several other classes. And possibly better, easier, more efficiently, or faster.
If that's the path they're going down, this isn't the game the whales paid for. On the other hand, they've changed pretty much everything else about the game since 2014, so why not that? It's not like they have to give the money back.

You are taking a game that may or may not ever come out wayyyyy too seriously. Who cares how other people are spending their money? Star Citizen is shitting directly into peoples mouths and laughing all the way to the bank. Also, a thousand dollars is not a "whale" in the slightest. Who cares that a game that is in its development infancy is changing design principles and not disclosing information that could hamstring the project in more ways than one if they set ideas in stone?'Different responsibilities' translates to multi-class/multi-role.

Most people are firmly in the "wait and see" camp. Meanwhile, you appear to be holding a pitchfork and torch ready to burn the thing down because these vaporware devs decided to go with brown instead of dark brown.

This game is never going live. 2,422 pages, 8 years, and still in pre, pre-alpha. Meanwhile, a group of 5 people made Valheim, and has sold over 5 million copies...

I mean... EQ, strictly speaking, only had a handful of 'useful' classes in its prime. Enchanters, Clerics, Warriors, Shaman, Bards, Monks and Mages are pretty much all you needed to 'clear' content until GoD. Everything else was for shits and giggles outside of those classes.'Different responsibilities' translates to multi-class/multi-role.

That's hardly a requirement to clear raid content. Especially given after Luclin, in PoP your corpse goes to a graveyard or poofs outside a zone you're clearing in.

Good point, let's make wizards subpar dps for 9 out of 10 expansions to make up for this.
