Announcement from the devs:

️Hey @everyone,

We saw the excitement for the Class System Sneak Peek and guess what, we have more to show you from behind the scenes as we inch closer to our Wicked Inside!

Our art team has dressed every class to the nines. Here are just a select few class armors coming with 1.0.

Shocked steel, walking fortresses, plague harnessing, frozen majesty and gilded skulkers...

Which armor will you don and who will you become as you fight your way across Isola Sacra?

Learn more about our Class System in our upcoming Wicked Inside!
🤟 ️

If you haven’t already, I suggest reading through this forum post to get an idea on the Class system and how it’ll work. One of the devs shared a ton of information on four classes: Guardian, Assassin, Fencer, and Dragoon. They’re looking for feedback before they do any kind of PTR. Definitely look through all of them and give any feedback you have. Quote from the devs:

“We've been setting up hundreds of traits for the classes and we're making final selections for everything. I'd love to know what you folks think about some of these.

This stuff is quite insane and it's obviously gonna be a bit difficult to judge without having played it, but even internally we're running polls that are just 'hey, if you see this trait and read its description, how would you feel about it on a scale from 1-5?'

Again, you only have a limited amount of slots for traits and they're kinda playstyle-defining.
They basically open up playing in certain ways or rewarding you for doing certain actions, etc.

Please keep in mind that this is still very much Work in progress and some of these are pretty overtuned atm just to show internally how these could pay off, etc.

The whole point of these traits is that they'd reward you for playing into the class fantasy.
So guardian is the sword & board class where you're being rewarded for blocking, using shields, etc. Assassin therefore has traits that make you more efficient sneaking around, etc. etc.”

NOTE: Insight is just the currency you acquire traits with. You gain that from combat - So this just rewards you for killing off enemies in specific ways
