Unlock classes

  • Hello everyone,


    As the title suggests, I'd like to talk about the possibility of unlocking classes that are still unavailable for male characters/ non-elin characters.


    I understand that the game was born in Korea, and Koreans aren't lovers of serious looking characters, but rather they prefer cute characters; that being said, EU isn't KR, and here many more players would prefer playing with characters that had cooler and more combat-ready outfits and appearance.

    The fact that GF is expanding even in Russia makes me think that they intend to keep investing on the game, so they could ask Krafton to add male versions for the currently locked classes, in order to allow the EU community to expand, which would ultimately benefit even Krafton, since they get a percentage of GF's earnings, and if GF's earnings rise, so does their percentage.


    Now I know, many people would start arguing with reasons like " valkyrie is a name for females, and reapers are bound by lore", but those aren't enough to justify saying that adding male versions for those classes wouldn't be possible.

    An example of an easy solution, that would actually help expanding the lore in future Patches, could be something like : "a new threat has appeared in Arborea...the new menace is so great, that the Valkyon federation had to expand its ranks as much as possible..in order to do that, all races and casts gathered and shared their knowledge and traditions. The ninja clan teaching how to face enemies from the shadows, the valkyries teaching how to tap into the power of the gods, the scientists of the Mysterium letting their elite corp turn into even bigger squadrons of gunners, to help tame the enemy from afar with mighty artillery, the reapers from pora elinu would focus on teaching to veterans of the federations who had lost families, comrades or loved ones to tap into their hate and desire vengeance, to harness the darkness in their hearts and redirect it against their foes…..Thanks to this great common effort, the Valkyon federation is now preparing to turn its new armies against this terrible threat."


    This way suddendly ninjas, gunners, valkyries, and reapers could be made available at least for 1 new race and/or a male version of the already existing ones...the choices would depend on a huge community poll, so that we could make sure most players get what they want.


    Sure, they would have to spend time and money to make these changes, but as I said, giving players the chance to go for a more serious and combat-ready character would be good in the EU environment , so it would eventually pay off.

    Let me know if you would like to have these classed available for male characters, and if you would be up to participate to the poll.

  • I totally agree to unlock classes and also like your idea of continuing the lore the way you described.


    I always liked the idea of a castanic Male ninja.. :ninja:

    so, I would participate in the poll for sure :thumbsup:

  • I'm all for any ideas that'll help unlock classes for everyone.


    I don't know how true this is, but the reason I heard as to why the Elins get catered to is because they "saved" the game from going under back when it was sub-only. Since Japan loves "cute" characters, all the e-shop items made for them made the developer enough money to stay them afloat...and the rest is history.


    I understand the decision based on that, but it shouldn't have meant exclusivity. Could have very well made content available to everyone.


    As far as classes go, I've thrown all "lore" reasons out the window when they made the Valkyrie available to Elins when it was lore-locked to Castanics. No excuse not to unlock the reapers for anyone else now.


    Poor Amani and Baraka - they don't have anything...
