Class suggestion list [Master Thread]

[Leaf_It]

So I made this account with the purpose of asking the devs if they planned to add any more classes to Hammer watch. In the process of Writing "Hipshot" a Private message on the matter, I started a list of possible classes that could be added. I accidentally created a list of so large that it was taller than my 1080p monitor, and I realize that it might be better if I just made a thread about this.

I've seen several other threads suggesting Classes that could be added, and the abilities they could have, so I decided to make a master thread for all class suggestions. The idea is that I'll post my massive list of class ideas, with a drop down spoiler tab for each one. As suggestions are made by others for abilities that could given to these classes, I'll edit this main post to have the added information for each class suggestion. This will make it easier for everyone who wants to suggest a class, and for the Devs to look and see what suggestions have been made.

A Quote from the original message I never sent to Hipshot:

Do you plan to add any more playable classes?
I came here after looking at the new Gauntlet, and the the classes in "Dark Legacy" specifically to find out if this was going to happen.

Honestly, if this game had 50 classes I wouldn't mind in the slightest. MOBAs already have the same camera angle as this game, and LoL, and DotA both have over 100 unique characters/classes/Champions/Heros each.

I have put some basic ideas with each class name just to get everyone thinking.
Any of these ideas can be changed if someone makes a better/more interesting suggestion for the class.

Things to keep in mind:
 - Every class should be unique and have their own abilities and gameplay.
 - Classes can be similar and still be interesting and unique.
 - Some Ranged attacks have very short range, but still qualify as Ranged.
 - Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean that everyone else dislikes it too.
 - Provide constructive criticism for things you don't like. DO NOT START A FLAME WAR.
 - Just because you had the same idea, doesn't mean that someone else stole it
 - Somethings are very hard to implement into the game. Try not to over complicate abilities or anything else.
 - Try to be open minded, and look for the flaws in your own ideas. Just because it's your idea, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Here's a brief thing about what stuff means:
 - "Melee?/Ranged?" Means that it hasn't decided if they are melee or ranged yet.
 - "Melee/Ranged" Without question marks, means that their basic attack is ranged unless there is an enemy within melee range.
 - "Melee" Means that their basic attack is always Melee (but upgrades from the shop *could* potentially change this in some cases.)
 - "Ranged" Means that their basic attack is always going to be ranged.
 - Italicized text is a brief description of what the character, and what they can do.
 - "Long-Melee" means that its a melee based attack, but that the character is using a long spear or lance, so they have a greater range that most Melee attacks.
 - If the spoiler says "Spoiler for:" There's nothing there yet. If it says "Spoiler for More Info" I have put more information there.
 - If Attack Speed is doubled for something, they will attack 2 times for each press of the attack button. (just like the Thief)

So without further ado, here's the massive list of 101 100+, and counting, Class ideas:
This list is still under construction. This message will be removed when I am done putting all of the descriptions on every class.

Spoiler for More Info:

RŌNIN

A samurai without a lord, the Ronin is a middle-ground melee class. While not as strong as the Paladin or Theif in terms of offense, the Ronin's greatest ability is using the enemy's numbers against them. He can gain mana with every enemy killed, and unleash very powerful skills. Counter to this, however, his mana will constantly reduce over time.

Appearance

The Ronin prefers no hat or helmet, and wears his messed grey hair in a short pony-tail behind his head. He is equipped with a long katana, and wears a red Japanese surcoat, with a white shirt underneath. Light blue Hakama. White Tabi with beige sandals.

Gameplay & Strategy

While playing as the Ronin, you have to constantly throw yourself at the enemy to keep your mana up, both as a recovery tactic and to prevent losing it. After killing enough enemies, he can unleash his stronger abilities to decimate more enemies, and this in turn provides a nice cycle of fast-paced gameplay.

Might be difficult to use in multiplayer parties due to other players 'stealing' kills.

The recovery potion becomes incredibly valuable as a mana booster, and can help set up Gekido on a whim. If used at the right time, you can keep the Battle Lust going, and stay in Bloodlust mode for a very long time.

I... may have gotten carried away... And taken 4 hours to alphabetize the list...

There's probably no way they would implement this many characters... but if they did I would love them so much. I would also help in anyway that I could. I used to do pixel art a few years ago. I was considering making a custom campaign with some of my own sprites.

Anyway, I hope everyone likes the (10 hours] [I lost count] of) work I put into this post. Don't worry, I had fun doing it. I tried to look up every possible class name that could be used without using ones that didn't fit into the theme of the game. (such as 'Gunner' or 'Sniper')

If you have a class name and/or ideas for them that I didn't include up here, please make a post letting me know. All ideas will be credited to the ones who post them, with a link to the post where they first suggested them.

There should be a way to do this without using as many characters...

Today (10/25/2014) I exceeded the 50,000 character limit for posts.
And now I wish I had reserved about 5 more posts...

[ZarroTsu]

My "Ronin" topic.

Because 'Samurai' is SO passé.


Would one expect us to keep making new topics for them, or should we start posting ideas in this topic now, or would that get too messy?

[Leaf_It]

The idea was that I would put everyone's ideas into the main post. They would receive Credit of course, and the post where they made the suggestion would be linked with there suggestion.

I'll add your "Ronin" Suggestion as it's own class, separate from Samurai, if that's alright.

Edit: To Clarify, People would post their ideas here, in this thread. Of course they could also make their own thread for it, if they wanted to, And I'll still add that information here if they want me to.

[Dai Tou Zai]

Jester def has to throw bombs as a range attack

[Leaf_It]

Bombs suggestion added to the Jester's More Info spoiler tab.

Hey ZarroTsu, Looking over your Ronin Class, The mana degeneration seems a little too harsh, simply because at the start of the game you would loose all mana in about 20 seconds. The game has large areas where many players may want to back track, and if they've already killed all the enemies then they're stuck with no mana.... Obviously this isn't as much of an issue once you upgrade the mana loss, the mana gain, and focus.

It seems like the idea behind it was that they can only use there skills in battle, because that's the only time they would have any mana. This is an interesting idea, and I like it, but at the same time I think it might be better with a lower mana loss. Maybe a way to slow, or stop the de-gen when moving large distances where there aren't any enemies? Or maybe the mana gain from killing enemies could be raised to 2, 4, 6, and 8. The more often a player is able to use an ability the more fun it is for them. but then again, I could be wrong about this.

It's a shame we can't test it out in game to see how it really plays.

Edit: After thinking it over taking 20 seconds isn't actually that bad, but being able to gain it back more quickly would be nice, so maybe just increase the mana gained on kill? The sooner they can use their abilities in battle, the more relevant they'll be later in the game, where killing enemies is more difficult without the use of abilities. I don't want to change anything about them in my post without you giving approval because they are your character.

[ZarroTsu]

The idea is your main melee is going to do a lot of damage and kill a lot of enemies, then you mix in the skills as the mana becomes available, or if you feel like chugging a restore potion.

Even then, all the skills rely on more enemies making them more effective. They'd start to kick in in Act 2, and you'd be a killing machine by Act 4.

Regardless, it's an idea that would need hands-on testing to really 'balance' at all, but I feel like it would be fun. You'd push yourself to find more enemies to kill as quickly as possible to pull off the skills, and end up racing against the mana degen as the main mode of play. All in all, that sounds like a lot of fun to me.
