The more I hear about them, the less like Beastlords they sound. The original beastlord was a fighter/priest hybrid. This one's a scout. The original wore leather, this one wears chain. The original was a symbiote, the new one is a guy with some pets.<br /><br />What with that and the supposed "action oriented" gameplay that differs from all other EQ2 classes, I'm not expecting to like the new one anything like as much as the old one. Probably just as well, for the reasons I gave above, which are why they never wanted to add BLs to EQ2 in the first place.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-32690610892591465082011-11-08T00:44:24.257+00:002011-11-08T00:44:24.257+00:00I don't have your history with this class, and...I don't have your history with this class, and that makes it hard to share your enthusiasm. I have invested nearly three years in my Dirge, through 90 levels, 90 crafter levels, over 260 AA's, multiple zones, etc. My identity in EQ2 is tied to that specific character, much as yours is to your EQ1 Beastlord, and the odds that I will ever re-roll are virtually nil. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I look at WoW's new expansion plan, and they're also adding a new pet taming mechanic, only their's is a pet battling system that will be open to existing characters. I can only speculate whether SOE has more customers like you who are happy about Beastlords or more customers like me who are disappointed that such a large portion of such a thin expansion box is going to a class we have no interest in playing.Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.com
