Rumors from the Fan Faire

[Nairn Niteraven]

Na, gotta be a Beetle class with octal-wield.

[KyrosKrane]

Octal wield?! Good lord, could you imagine the balancing issues with melee in that? eight proccing weapons = better aggro control than all other classes combined!

[Kilauea Bacchus]

Well originally I thought a centaur would be cool, but that would just be wayyyy too much trouble to figure out for the programmers. How do you figure out the armor slots? Do they get more for barding? Magic horseshoes? Special hair extensions for the tail that gives an extra slot? /shiver A programmer's nightmare! LOL

[Eleena Transient]

Heh, if the same sandles I fish out of the river can fit on a webbed foot of a guktan, the paw of a vah shir, the claw of a iksar, the mammoth foot of an ogre, and the wee foot of a gnome, I think it'd fit a centaur just dandy.

If they wanted to be tech about it, just remove the ability to wear greaves and add a barding replacement, but thats a Lot of db stuff. Easiest just to let'm wear normal stuff.

Um... what do they stand on?

[Twistagain]

Um... what do they stand on?

They fight on their backs like Royce Gracie, of course.

[Kilauea Bacchus]

Wow no ladders, that would be rough!

[Aethn]

Minotaurs ... that would be a SWEET new class.

They should have added Minotaurs when they made Berserkers, perfect fit.

[Nolrog]

Um... what do they stand on?

They all levitate.

The rumor when GoD was in production was that the new race was going to be a gnoll, or dog-like. Lame, yes, but those were the rumors, and they released a skeleton for this type as well...so it is not too far of a stretch to assume we could see a lot of Gnolls chasing the Vah Shir in the not so distant future. (Side note: would be badass if they took over blackburrow =D )

[Kilauea Bacchus]

Well, I suppose that wouldn't be too bad. I hope they're BIG and not all puny like gnolls are.

[BuzWeaver]

Crap! And I just bought a 9800 Pro.

Such is technology. They seem to come out with new cards about ever 6 to 8 months.

[Ursawraith]

in all honesty if there is a new race it would likely be the Ratonga (Chetari)

No, the takeover of Blackburrow would be a major pain in the butt. They'll probably either have to put a city deeper into the continent of Taelosia, since the globe in Skyfire shows a continent about the same size as Antonica, or they'll need to put a city of some sort on one of the three large islands that are between Odus and Taelosia.

If it were on the islands, I'd say aviaks or humanoid avians of some sort with a natural levitate ability at 20 or so, scaling up to Flight of Eagles at 55ish or so.

Considering that there's a city of Zebuxoruk somewhere on Taelosia, I would figure that's where we'd see a new race appear. The question would be, what they'd look like, but they would honor Zebuxoruk, rather than worship him. Based on what the game lore says about him, I'd expect that they'll be neutral.

BIXIES!
