Also the announcement stream got to almost 50k viewers on twitch, the only other MMO that could get that high is WoW and maybe FFXIV.

I don't have a problem with HoT being a separate thing, they never promised to bundle it, you don't NEED it, and the base game is free.

29.99 for the base

54.99 for base plus goodies

79.99 for previous package + 4000 gems.

According to WP, Weaver has over 40 new skills including new skills for all the old weapons.

I believe the standard edition was like $30, not 100% sure though.

:eyepop:

So, okay, assuming the order of the elements doesn't matter (like, fire + air is the same as air + fire), that gives us, what, 6 mixed-element skills per weapon, right? Fire + water, fire + air, fire + earth, water + air, water + earth, air + earth. Even if we only count main-hand weapons (assuming that off-hands don't change what your mixed-element skill is), that's 24 new skills already. Then all the new sword skills (either 8 or 12, depending on if there are pure fire, water, air, and earth skills for the mixed slot or if it's always mixed) and a healing skill, probably 4 utility skills, and an elite skill, so yeah. A bit over 40 sounds about right.

So necro gives up death shroud and gains support skill stuff. Ranger loses the pet but only when in BEAST MODE, which replaced celestial avatar and is temporary as such.

Mesmer dodge doesn't move you for max dps uptime.

The Engi holo weapon effects look bad rear end, and thief crouches in stealth.

the streamer Peachy was given access and made a video of the gameplay from the classes if you want to see more:

I really doubt they're planning to ever add entirely new classes. We've got 3 of each armor type, and the elite specializations are adding so many new options that it doesn't really feel like we'd need more classes.

Edit: Mounts are usable in old maps as well!

There's more than enough classes, I'm not disappointed at all. 3 heavy, 3 medium, 3 light for armour classes and adding specializations to each is not only how they said they're moving forward, it's also the best idea.

Hopefully next up is adding more weapons, like loving spears!

I had the same thought. A solid chunk of core traitline skills involve life force, and the majority of them are only good because of the LF effect.

gently caress, I only have a month and a half to make Shining Blade for my future weaver. Gotta get to choppin.

Holosmith looks so much more fun to play than scrapper. Seems like it'll be a big mashup of engine, ele, and necro fightinf styles. My fingers are ready.

Iboga pets! Also lol at finally getting rid of ranger's reliance on AI. But seriously soulbeast sounds rad.

I don't care how deadeye works. They had me at thief rifle.

While not very flashy, spellbreaker is an interesting direction to go with warrior. Finally, heavy armor and daggers, together at last. Do they get them for both hands?

Not too crazy about scourge, but maybe once the details come out it'll look more attractive. If the summons are good, it could bring back the classic minion master necro. At least torch gives a good chance of getting reliable burn!

Renegade's shortbow skills look awesome, but the spec seems out of place thematically. Wish they could've tied it to Elona somehow. Smh at the erasure of Elonian culture.

Mirage. Not looking forward to playing against these if I ever do PvP again.

Firebrand. Ehhh? It's AoE heavy I guess.

If you want both, you'll need to buy both. That said, I think you'll probably only need to buy Heart of Thorns if you actually want to play Heart of Thorns, since there's no expansion-to-expansion progression.

I reserve the right to be wrong if it turns out you need gliding from HoT or something and they don't also give it to you pin Path of Fire, but I kinda doubt they'd do that.
