The upcoming Class system is a bad idea

The current system without classes is a mjor reason why the game is so fun.

The current system has the classes are: strength, dexterity, faith and intelligence (and the 50/50 combinations).

The attribute system is a soft class system.

The new system is also a soft class system.

After you have unlocked the traits and class runes you can use them as and where you want without limitations.

So the new system gives you more freedom in this sense not less.

@a_user

As somebody already said, if the point is to remove the random part, well just remove the random part. Classes only add annoyance and lmiitations with no benefit at all.

I agree with this but it’s another discussion I talked about it here: The RNG Problem, Enchantment System & Gem System “TOGETHER” (Update)

The advantages can easily be had without a trade-off: Some part of class XP could go towards a common pool from which one can buy off-class perks.

@Konrad

If this ‘generic’ XP accrues more slowly than experience inside of the native class, players are still encouraged to experiment without being forced into an undesired playstyle.

I thought about it too, it’s a nice solution because this way you don’t have to change weapons but you’re still encouraged.

@Konrad

This would only be the case if certain classes have mandatory (or grossly overpowered) perks.

No, it’s just that they are different, and maybe you’re interested in them because they seem to be fun, the traits should all be equally strong.

The current class system reminds me of Dragon’s Dogma

The system is directly inspired by FF tactics.
