Sneak peek of the new Thief and Pirate

No. I had my objections to the Paladin changes because I played with it first hand on Tespia and the Live server.
They made some changes that aren't the greatest, but I'll live with it.

I don't need to play when the entire philosophy has changed when it didn't need to. The entire time the community has said they need buffs and improvements, not an entirely different class. Paladins didn't lose their survivability, like we did. Paladins didn't lose their party support, like we did. Paladins didn't get another strong mobbing skill that's redundant, like we did.

You'll live with it because they made some changes. First generation pirates won't live with the changes, because we didn't get changes. We got a true revamp. A revamp none of us asked for.

nor has every skill been showcased OR finalized for that matter.

Didn't say they weren't. For things i've said throughout the day to change they need to do literally everything over, and that's not going to happen.

The fact that you've pretty much stated that you've been waiting to complain about it just means that you wouldn't have been pleased with ANYTHING they could have done.

No. It means i was expecting them to do this kind of job from the start. Re-read my old "changes we should get" threads. I predicted kamehameha. I predicted hurricane fists. There were a lot of things i and others suggested that would have satisfied every single person who enjoys buccaneers, but Nexon didn't see the real value in the skills they had made originally, because the majority of the community didn't either. I'm not sad they're gone. I'm sad they weren't appreciated enough to have stayed. Instead the stupid masses is now 100% what matters. All we're good for now is how much %str we have.
