    I would love to know if this may happen and why this class was not in game at launch.

    There are NO PLANS AT ALL to include beast lords at this point in time, nor anytime in the relativly near future (say 1+ years). As to why they weren't in from the begining, I can't say, but if you use search I'm sure there was atleast 5billion posts on this subject and I'm sure one of them has atleast A reason.

    You speak as if you have inside information. If you do please tell us. If you don't please preface posts like this with something like "this is your opinion" since there are new folks here that might not realize that you can't know for sure this is the case unless you are a red name.

    To the OP...SOE has a history of reconizing the desires of it's players. If you can garner enough support on the boards and through /feedback for the returns of the Beastlord then you have a chance that SOE may consider your request. It's as simple as the squeaky wheel gets the grease. As this game ages SOE needs suggestions like this and should consider them in order to keep the game fresh. I am sure there are developers at SOE who could create a Beastlord class and balanec it along with the other classes. I have been keeping one open toon slot open just in case SOE does release a new class. it's time for something new and exciting. I personally think Beastlord has a shot at becoming a reality. Yes I know SOE has said in teh past that they have no plans on creating such a class any time soon, BUT they only release a full expansion once a year...ANY TIME SOON is relative...it could mean in the next few years or next few months or never but I could also happen sooner than you think...I think a lot of players are viewing EQ2 as a little stale right now...hence the new surveys....

    Hahahaha balance a class. The Devs just recently acknowledged and began fixing the blunder that is tank "balance" after 4 years.
    I am sure that if i pick 6 random numbers I will win the lotto.

    Yes no beastlords unless something drastically changes. What would a beastlord do anyway that we do not already have a class for, we have 24 classes there is not really an individual role to be had and I don't think people would like thier toes stepped on. Plus theres the issue of itemization, going back and making beastlord gear or even just adding the beastlord tag on all the old stuff would be a crazy task. Also a whole new epic line? And what class would be the other side of the beastlord achetype...or would you have a good and evil beastlord. Adding a class with the setup we have now would be a nightmare but all this has been said before with all the other beastlord threads.
    Maybe they'll give us an AA line with some beastlord stuff but otherwise I just see it as more of a hassle than its worth.

    Does a red named post sound real enough for you? seriously just search on this subject and you will find what I said to be true, Beast lords or more specifically any NEW classes aren't going to be added to the game till well post the point in time that the current classes are balanced. As it is now I feel there are too many classes, but that's me not neccessarly the dev's on that matter. So there will be no new classes for a long time, atleast 1+ years, and frankly I don't think even that is realstic of a timeframe maybe 10+years at the current rate.

    This thread is a joke, right?
  9. ARCHIVED-chrisarnold Guest

    Don't some of the current classes already come close to this category with their charmed animals?

    Agreed. I hope we never see this class.

    Ever.

    Everytime a person asks for Beast Lords, another kitten dies.
    The possibility of Beast Lords were promised in several threads over the past 2 years under one condition. Every single class is absolutely and completely balanced. What was also mentioned is that every single player has a different idea of what "balanced" should be.
    Therefore, the odds of adding of Beast Lords is just slightly better than never.

    IMHO:
    Won't happen unless the subscription rate of EQ2 drop so low that it also drastically affects LoN revenue (i.e. nobody left hunting loot cards). At which point SoE might do a NGE (and therefore a revamp of the class list) in order to try and kick start subscriptions again.
    In reality you stand far more chance of seeing Beastlords in some sort of future 'EQ3' type project than ever ever seeing them in EQ2.

    Every time SOE tries to balance something one ends up in the floor and the other through the roof.

    Then post a link to the red name thread, but try not to sound like an authority on something you aren't please. Most of the information posted here by players is opinion and it's good sound advice, but certainly not fact.

    As for Beastlords...I remember back in EQ1 the devs said there would never be an ability like Endless Quiver (for those who never played, put one arrow in your quiver and you never run out of ammo) but they did do it. There were many other examples of SOE contradicting themselves because it felt right at the time to say NO....So never say NEVER when SOE is involved...
  17. ARCHIVED-firza Guest

    lol @ BL's
    I hope EQ2 never ever ever introduces a new class.
  18. ARCHIVED-Kitsune286 Guest

    I would post the link to the red-name who stated it , but it would take me a couple of days to find it with all the other messages they post.
  19. ARCHIVED-lstead Guest

    They should add them and make them the most pathetic weak things that are totally unable to solo

    You are asking an awful lot of this person, when in fact they gave you a truthful answer. In one of the HUNDRED posts brought up over the years on this topic, a red once stated something along the lines of Beastlords being a possibility only if all of the existing classes could be properly balanced. It was pointed out by this dev that this was probably an impossible task so the answer was effectively NO.
    Why don't you go searching through these hundreds of posts to find where this was said, since several people in this thread have told you about it and you refuse to believe it? Why does someone else have to spend their time dragging up the biggest dead horse topic on these forums for your satisfaction when you are perfectly capable of doing it yourself?
