Class System

[wisnoskij]

As Jpillz mentioned in his last developer blog, we plan on using a hierarchical class structure in Zed. This is a change on the strict 5 class system from Blank101s previous post. We want to ease the player into Zed, and the class tree allows players to start playing without first having to pick through any settings.

All players would start out as a Citizen, and as they level up and gain class points they would be be able to use them to expand into other subclasses.

The tree is made up of 5 tiers and 4 main branches. 5 tiers meaning it will take 4 class points to get to the outer leaves of the tree. The 4 main branches are Student, Mechanic, Criminal, and Militia.

What we are currently working on:
Blank101 - AI
JPillz - City Graphics
wisnoskij - Skills

** Note: These ideas are preliminary. We cannot guaranty that everything said here will make it into the final product.

Also, if I were to go up in 1 class, would I go down in another class.
Or is it similar to RuneScape, where you can get 'lvl 99' in all skills

[AvRack]

Can't wait for Zed :rolleyes:

[Sk8er4Life]

w00t 8th post

That's sick

[AlfaCharger]

Super exciting. I like these advancements, and I hope that when it is released the name is "Dynasty Adventure"

[DeathX69]

wow. cool!!!! cant wait for zed

[Eiliosdraye]

Is this going to be DND-ish?

EG:

You can multiclass as much as you want, BUT the more you multiclass the less precise you are(the abilities get exponentially better as you level up), or is it different?

[DEADPK]

woot im the criminal

[UniteD]

Whats the thing that Blank is working on..AI?
Well, ill probably be a student or a militia.

[Trix]

I like the drawing. o:

[Bonk]

Eilios, the way I see it, you can't multiclass.


You have to choose one class then move on to another one class.

[d4rklord]

yay .

[cavallarosniper]

Nice i would probably use milita and criminal the most awesome

[ChangE]

Will you get to know if your heading towards a certain class or will you use your points and then find out later.

[Killerrrrrr]

MilitiaOwnzYou

[theunimportant]

[SkYScorn]

This is cool bro.

[Xenocide]

Nice a class system.I'd try the milita

[Marine22]

So, in a way it's sorta like fallout 3's level system?
Anyways sounds good.

[theunimportant]

[Damixnarai]

Wow, this seems nice. As long as I can use a sniper rifle or something then I'm fine with this.

[Snoopy]

Awesome.
Just Awesome.

[vAero]

How nice. Criminal class lulz.

[Dax]

Whats the thing that Blank is working on..AI?
Well, ill probably be a student or a militia.
Artificial Intelligence.


This looks very solid to me. I'm interested to see exactly how the system works ie can you switch up classes, can you eventually be the best in everything or do you have to make multiple characters in order to utilize all the classes.

[Metaldragon]

Looks sweet! By the way, if you need any help with skills and/or skill sets let me know. The only thing I can't do is write programs...Other than that I can help you out with the rest :)

[J5646]

[lildude783]

also.. it aint too hard that once u have the skill thing..

also again.. maybe it will be like rs? but that'd make like half the players quit and go to RS or something like that?

[asaulterguy]

[epiccesc]

[xXFuzionXx]

NICE :D, i can't wait for zed.

[TopHatMan]

Militia should be Military
Mechanical is fine
Student? I don't see where that is going to go.
I bet that criminals will become the most hated classes in the entire game in the future. I don't know why, somethings telling me they will be.

[R3V3NG3]

im looking foward to miltia or criminal good job guys keep it uP :P

[XxOnlySniperxX]

I would love Zed :) its just like DF a bit i would like the soldier class :) dealing with HMGs and stuff should turn out fun

[UreOnMyHitList]

Basically like PT where everyone is asking if they can join a clan.

But what ever.

[XxOnlySniperxX]

[Jessica]

Does this mean, if you change the path you do down (Eg, Mechanic to Student) You have to start from the start of that class?
