Just a quick question for the Devs - Since the two class/race combos in the title were not actually part of an expansion but released after a poll will they be available once the class goes lives with the correct class/race release expansion (ie Luclin for BST and LoY for Frogloks?) Been asking around in game and no one seems to really know, and I think the only person who would truly know would be one of the Devs. (Roshen, come tell meeee)
It's likely, considering halflings can currently be paladins even though they couldn't be paladins in classic.
That's what I'm hoping! If not, my main will be a berserker. But if they are going to be in, it'll be a tough choice between Froglok Monk or a woodie BST
They wont be. Makes no sense at all, but yeah: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/gnome-shadowknight.220009/ But considering that they got the timeframe wrong on froglok monks (they said when VoA is unlocked, but they did the vote/unlock during RoF), and left other non-classic combos in, who knows if they changed their mind or what.
well at the very least if the class and race combination is available then they probably will allow it. currently in classic we have wood elves... but no beast lords. we do not have frogloks but we do have monks... again once what ever is not there becomes available you will probably be able to play that combination. they have said some changes as time went on was meant to "back fill" which means that if it was thought to have been needed in the original classic, they kept it. if not it will come around when it happens... it is also possible they will wait till that combination was truly intrduced... I though believe the former, for example: the beastlord class was introduced in luclin, and thus wood elves will be able to be beastlords. (just a guess)
It's pretty unlikely they won't allow all combinations that are currently on live. Once the race is unlocked, it's safe to assume all classes will be unlocked with them. I doubt DBG cares enough about something so minor to change the coding for 1 server.
Is Froglok Monk somehow delayed because the trainer/questgivers are in a zone other than the Froglok starter city?
Good catch. This was an error. We'll change the data so that Froglok Monks and Wood Elf Beastlords are available when CotF opens and not VoA.
Any chance we could get this changed to release when the class/race does? Cause really what is the point? We got halfling paladins/rangers at launch.
That's so far in the future as to be likely post-merge or post-apocalyptic player dropoff for these servers. I think policy has really compromised fun for classicity, for not allowing beastlord and berserker on the server day one. Can't we leave the extreme classicity to P99 where it belongs?
While you are changing that data would it be possible to add the proper starting cities to those class and race combos? as it is now Wood Elf Beastlords cannot pick Kelethin and Froglok Monks cannot pick Mountains of Rathe as starting cities.
Please make the class/race combo open when the class opens, like wood elf beastlord when luclin opens, even as tempting as that racechange potion sale might be in the future
That's right. It also makes sense why the combos wouldn't be unlocked when the race/class becomes available then. No Crescent Reach, no wood elf beasts or froglok monks.
