If I were to actually purchase a 4th Class, how am I going to level a fourth class from 50+ Without Quests? I am not buying a million resets and doing dailies until my eyes bleed. So I am going to have to pass on your less than awesome deal, my wallet cant take anymore. I could be angry but I need to save my money anyhow.
My thoughts exactly. A 4th class is pointless in my opinion, just another time waster. To master the game inside and out you'll need alts to get all the crafting skills and play different races anyway, why complicate your life even more by giving yourself more of a headache in a 4th or even 5th class to worry about when you're running out of quests for your third anyway?
Ok just to give another perspective on this viewpoint about how hard it would be to just level a 4th plus class. The perspective is that you never have to actually max level any 2ndry plus class....how many of you actually are 85/85/85? or just 85/85 on two classes?
To me this allows me to play what ever combo I want from my primary.....say primary is Warden...now if I have every class opened I can spend a little time getting all the elites done and getting to 50 is just simple, dailies alone from CoO and Xav will take you two weeks or less to go from 1 to 50, Powerleveling, Honor Parties....just so many ways to go from 1 to 50 in very short time, xp orbs alone form SW can take you from 1 to 30 in just a few secs.
Sorry rambled a bit too much there.
So the point to make was if you have Warden Primary and every class open available to elf you can now try or be what ever warden combo you feel like, no real neccessity to regear or level, outside of what maybe two combinations ( Wd/D possible if you want magic build, May have to get a Bow or Xbow for Wd/S combo, and possibly a Plate set for tanking as Wd/W ). So the plus side is that you can be whatever Primary Class combo you want and have access to all the skills.
Yes it can be considered a big waste of money cause you can just do alts with all quests available, the downside you have to raise another pet, and RUN all those quests again on top of all the cards you have to recollect...just way too much to me to do an alt if I can now have all combos I do not have to worry about getting titles, feeding a pet, or any of the other leveling stuff that tweeks out your toon to be strong, now I have available any combo I want with all my Work previously still in tact.
I do feel for you Fann, you spent a boatload but you had to know that Item ( Class Expansion Ticket ) was gonna be available again for a fixed cost at some point.
I do agree with you Bleedingblak I think they do need to re-work those Power Up Pills to Level 60 and 70 but hey maybe they will consider it now that it has been suggested.
The problem with your idea of getting extra classes to 50 is that some do not become viable until they have 60 or even 70 elites, that forces you to level those classes to those levels, and that takes a huge amount of time or resets. I understand your thought on being able to try out all the different combos for a race, but really, how much $$$ do you really want to sink into "trying out" a combo.
Expansion ticket -- 499 dias (per class you want to try)
DRT -- (39 dias per drt*66 = 2574 dias) depending on the combo and level to make it viable and really get a feel for it, lets say level 60. From 50 to 60 requires 173.779.000 xp. Doing butterflies which pays 266k per daily, you're looking at 66 resets. I know some of you will say powerlevel to 60, but don't forget, exploiting the honor party system is a bannable offense if you're caught. Is it worth risking your account?
Gear -- The cost of statting, plussing, drilling any gear that can't be swapped around. We'll round off and say 500 dias, could be much higher or lower I know.
Just using that basic concept most people are looking at around 3,500-4,000 dias JUST to TRY a combo. Now take that and multiply by every additional class you want to try. You're looking at several hundred dollars just to experiment with different combos on the same toon.
I know people will say you can find a dia seller to cut costs, but on Govinda there are not many dia sellers willing to part with potentially 10's of thousands of diamonds. It is far easier and cheaper to roll an alt, quest on it and see if you indeed do like it or not.
The class expansion tickets should be available in game like the housemaids are. Start the 4th class at 10 mil and make it double each time after. Or start it higher, this would take a huge amount of gold out of the game.
Right now it is FAR to expensive to experiment with combos.
