class variety

Recently Rhun Warlord class has been released, and I am a little disappointed. It looks and feels the exact same as royal guard, and I was hoping for more variety
(Rhun Warlord has 8 attack dmg, a spear, and gold armor with protection 1)
a hallmark of EW is the variety to pvp. You go to a server like conwy or any other and its just basic pvp, nerfed and buffed soldier. on EW u have stuff like town guard, axthrower, mage, etc that change it and add a new spin. even troll and bonebreaker are cool because of this.

what I'm saying is and the point of this thread is just to propose more ideas for pvp (not full classes, just stuff like a flailer class or throwing blades)
 
I agree. We are trying our best to bring some new interesting classes in the comming update.
 
Also, Riku and I were looking through classes earlier and some were OP (like rhun warlord). Or just had dumb potion effects.
 
There are only so many different mechanics you can have on a server.
We are still a pvp server, and although we like variety in our classes, that does not mean we will make weird classes just so there's more variety.

There was no point orc class even remotely like Royal Guard. The class also has a different weapon (even though same damage) and a custom modelled helmet, so it definitely does not look the same.

And 4.80% more damage reduction than Royal Guard right now, meaning its armor will get nerfed.[/quote]

ah. in that case nerf it.

as for cool new class ideas lets get back on topic.. ideas anyone?
ill start: what if we implemented a class that doesn't heal but right clicks teammates to restock their equipment? it would need better melee than medic so like stone sword but ye
 
I suggested that a while back, got denied since it didn't seem impactfull enough and nobody would want to play that.

Dont nerf it, its not like on edoras where all the classes are kinda weak. Dwarves have hammerer and most players buy this class first which means most players have this class beside the fact that edoras has no crossbow class. The dwarves has strong class and so should the orcs.

I would recommend re-add mercenary and also consider dol gurder along with ruhn warlord. honestly, rhun is the most useless of erebor. its a good class with cool disguises but doesn't counter xbow, the problem class, and is only ok vs hammerer (since the hammer dmg buff). Mercenary is a high skill high maneuverability class that requires skill to play but can somewhat answer to hammerer and sorta against xbow. Dol gudur from v1 (I completely forget the spelling) would do just eh vs hammerer but be good vs xbow and good for pushing as it would be tanky and be able to fire back lower dmg arrows than archer. But don't make it so that xbow does 3 hearts to it

also if u nerf rhun it wont be too bad, I don't see it as op right now
 
Im afraid you are wrong, crossbow can beat the shit out of merc with a single shot. Hammerer simply smash it and spearman beat the shit out of it. It has the weaknesses of berserker which means any projectile that hits it simply destroy it. This class is bad for pushing because he cant hold the ground and must run away as soon as he take damage. Rhun is a great class and fits many areas in erebor, he cant defeat hammerer if you got the skill and is great to force crossbowers to hide after spearing them once (after one spear archer can 1 shot crossbow).
 
see that's where the skill comes into play, m8. Merc can dodge like American politicians dodge questions. aka it dodges well (jump over, walk erratically). Merc's strongest tool is not being hit. merc is bad for pushing I never said it was.. in fact that's why I said yall should add dol gundur.
don't forget merc's jumpboost and speed make it easy to build hunger to eat and regen.

and xbow does good dmg to rhun and rhun doesn't have the maneuverability advantage of mercenary.. just spear regen. I do think dol gondor should be added as dore gudur can tank arrows and help push.
 
Mercenary is meant for climbing on roofs and bypassing enemy lines. Also for knocking people off. This isn’t viable in Erebor and that’s why it got replaced.
 
honestly I did prefer mercenary on erebor though, because it was more fun to play than rhun. any chance you can re add it and have both?

No, then we'd also have to add an extra class to Dwarves. Also, mercenary just doesn't fit Erebor. You might like it, but it's not made for the map, so you'll have to manage with this. Mercenary is a class on the upcoming Dale map though.

as of now, erebor orcs have 1 point class whilst dwarf have 2... does this mean we are getting another Rhun class?
 
The attackers might get another point class, Tim hasn't decided yet.
