This game used to be great. I've been playing since 2003 and enjoyed it so much. After GoD launched I started playing on Shilen and had a decent amount of fun until level 86. After that everything went wrong... All classes merged in a single class with the same skill except a few racial ones which don't make a big difference anyway, all the diversity was destroyed. The gap between pre-awakened chars and awakened chars is so big, it's not even funny. Nobody pvps without a party or a clan anymore because they are afraid of losing xp. I've seen some people PK and try to get rid of karma, but nothing compared to the good old days. Everyone is restricted to do anything except farm and sieges. I've seen some clan vs clan action, but very little compared to what I've witnessed in the past.
I've been rolling a destroyer since C3. I fell in love with this class since the first time I played it. It had such great skills, such great gameplay. Frenzy was an insane and risky skill, but it was simply amazing. After I got my awakened skills I lost my frenzy and instead got a sh*tty copy of it, that is pretty useless most of the time. Not to mention that every other fighter has the same skills I do. It's insulting to the Titan, it's insulting to every other class. This game used to be so diverse and unique, what the hell happened guys? Am I the only one who feels this way?
You just ventured here and posted everything that came to your mind huh? Cuz if you searched literally more then 1second you woulda found that almost EVERYONE hates the merge into 8 classes, at atleast dislikes the majority of the changes done in GoD update leaving you not the one upset.
Good news, they are going back to 34 classes again, but in who knows how long =/
Yeah I admit I didn't know the majority of players hated this. But I hope what you say is true, I hope they go back to the old class system. I hope
Yeah, some people like the fact that they can just get an ISS instead of sws/bd but most those people i see say things like that already quit, so I dont care about there opinion. I would say the vast majority of players (Gotta remember not everyone posts here) dislike the changes.
Theres a post around here somewhere showing what they will be doing with classes, to lazy to find it for u, going to zzz!
I agree it's boring and you are required certain class in a party (tank,healer,buffer) that doesn't leave much in the sense of grabbing random clannies to go xp. I hate how the game forced constant parties. It makes grabbing random people impossible otherwise your party won't function right.
What happened is that it's no longer impossible to make 3 or 4 party's of 9 people, needing a healer, doomcryer, bladedancer, swordsinger, tank with usable 83 tank buf, so no et alowed, to just get the buf's the 4 remaining nukers needed to plow the **** out of every other party that diddent get the perfect party together, or was short either a bd, sws, or healer..
Screw every other clas there were out there. They was **** out of luck, and you guys wanne go back to that.. When we do, be man enough to rerole one of the classes not mensiont in the perfect party setup above.

Yes I DO want to go back to "that". Why? because you do a lot of different classes in place ones you didn't have and still manage to do what you wanted. No healer? A good SE can manage it unless they really suck. No phoenix knight? An SK was a good back up. Now it's just a tank that's it, there's nothing else that can substitute that. An iss is the buffer that's it. There's nothing special about my Iss from the next one. We have all the same skills. There's nothing that makes my buffer special from someone else's as in a wanted buff or group buff. A DC can summon, but after awakening a wynn can only do that. So yeah I'd like some variety added. Nukers are great I have no problem with them ever.
Forget about the healer, a good healer could heal a party efficiently even if it wasnt a bishop back in the day.
What wasnt good was the need to have bd, sws AND doomcryer for every party. Now that is just one class. And that is fine. And to not make the parties too strong, they cut the party size down by 2, since you no longer would need 2 of the 3 classes.
I really dont see what the bad part about the 8 classes is. For once the game is balanced, and now ppl are still crying. Ridiculous.

Just remember, you cant please everyone.
I honestly don't honestly care what they do really. I'll play still anyways. Too legit to quit :P

I'd advice you to dont get your dreams too high. They are still studying how to to make it, and by the samples they provided (check rochands forum), I dont think they will allow certains classes to take back their olds OP skills and combos (your old frenzy+zealot included).
But we cant deny that this update brought balance, yeah. If you cant stand a chance against certains classes by now, its just a piece of time to you can. Gear, level gap and items count more to the "win" of someone than any superpowered skill we could have back in the days.
I hate how the game forced constant parties. It makes grabbing random people impossible otherwise your party won't function right.
I, very very sadly, have to agree with this thought. And this such feeling just get higher and higher as you improve in levels, and the whole game community turns out being only yours six constant partners. No slots for others, whoever they are. :(
I really love reading how "wonderful and diverse" the game was before awakening. Right. That is why half or more of the support were boxed in every raid or siege? That is why some classes were serioulsy underplayed? Get a grip on reality. Before awakening the game had some elite classes and the rest. Diversity meant that the first pawned the second. GG.
