HoT will have sub-classes, not profession changing (That is a major feature so it would be already announced). Rytlock also could wield a pistol when he was a warrior.

Why can Rytlock change classes? Because he’s a special hero. If new classes come out, I’m sure someone will come along having it, perhaps as a change.

Will a character ever change base classes? Unlikely. For one thing, the progression from 1-80 is all about learning how to use that class. If we’re allowed to change classes, not only is there a chance we’d be equipped with the wrong armor or weapons, we’d have to adapt to completely different mechanics. Specialization is different, as I don’t think everything will change, but add a bit more like new weapons and skills.

Keiran Thackeray did it in Guild Wars 1. I don’t see how just because NPCs can do certain things means the players should be able to. Many NPCs in Guild Wars 1 carried two or more elites skills, but we the players were limited to one.

Yes, I was wondering if someone else would pick up on this. If Rytlock could change profession completely, does that mean that profession switching is a new feature in HoT?

I’m also guessing that Dragoon/Musketeer or something similar is going to be the Warrior specialisation, who specialises in Rifles/Pistols and other firearms while still wearing heavy armor.

This happened in GW1 too. Keiran Thackeray started out as a Ranger and became a Paragon through story events. It was never offered as an option for PCs even so.

I think it’s an example of gameplay/story segregation and doesn’t indicate a new mechanic for player characters.

You can change profession too! And in almost exactly same way as Rytlock did!

Tutorial:

  1. Enter the Heart of the Mists (yea mysts are mandatory for Rytlock as well as you)
  2. Band with other heroes and fight for your destiny against others like you to earn 80 Tomes of Knowledge
  3. Leave mysts and store Tomes in your bank
  4. Commit ingame suicide… for example jump from the statue of Dwayna in Divinity’s Reach
  5. Log out
  6. Delete your undesired character and make the exact visual copy of it with same nickname but different profession
  7. Log in with your new-old heroe and find nearest bank
  8. Take all 80 Tomes of knowledge and click on them like a mad man for a while
  9. :) enjoy

Yeah, Rytlock is a Rytlock, he has whatever abilities they want him to have. If they want him to dual wield canoes while dressed in only a “kiss the cook” apron then he can dual wield canoes while dressed in only a “kiss the cook” apron, doesn’t mean player characters can.

Well the closest in game comparison is warrior :P

Technically you’re correct, but a PC could equip up to 3 Elites at once while Capping, until it was fixed at some point down the line…I think it was fixed, but that’s GW1 and this is GW2. Rytlock’s a member of DE, they’re unique.

we are not getting a feature like that, i’m saying this just like when my friend tells me i’m imagining stuff in my head again when i tell him i suspect him for messing with another woman…
so, no.

and no again it’s not unfair… look each one of us is already a special little snowflake just enough
yes each one of us never get enough attention this is true.
but we are special by what life has given/taken (mostly given in-factz) for/from us so far.
there are no dublicates…
let’s be happy with that, and ponder the actually relevant things. like, how to avoid hunger spreading (population rising = restricting this, and in theory this can be done moderately peacefully if only explanation precise enough is given in public – nobody likes lies and secrecy, really.) and how to avoid wars… wich is kind of hard because you know these conspiracy theories how war makes money – yet it’s true so it can’t be ignored.

no wait – why some inviduals actually need 10 villas of wich they use about 2-3, collection of cars or whatever else you really don’t need?
they do this to feel special?
do they feel special then? in their hearts… no. maybe some do though. but i dont really think so. and they make war. hmm. what’s their problem seriously???

also, we need more serious and emphatic psychologists in our world.

so…
nobody really needs to slam a goal to be “special”. or something like that…
“hey this guy gets that. unfair. i deserve it as well.”
okay. why do you deserve this?

you make your own living so painful by assuring that other people are someway better than you. just like… rytlock. i’m just jealous to him for being a game character that doesn’t really exist.
look.
nobody knows this, but you also have something other people don’t. it’s your nature that has been in you since birth. the way you act, and understand, plus many other ways of measuring it. everyone has it different.

so just chill as long as you have a roof above your head, a computer to play gw2, food to eat and in best cases work to do… but even roof and food is really good.

i want that hamburger meal with bbq sauce, french fries and coke. surprise, it’s not a superspecial disgusting half-raw steak from 100 dollar restaurant made by “top-cook”… cause hamburger meal is good enough. thing is, nearest hamburger restaurant is like 40 kilometres away and it’s closed for night. heh. also i’m not very rich to buy that meal every day.
so that meal isn’t special, but i know really the moment i eat it, that moment is very special to me. drools yet it isn’t necessary unless you’ve got nothing else to eat for hunger.

good night (hey mod, i guess youre gonna delete this so just in case i hope you had good time reading. ive never been very good at forums… it’s because i’m so wild. ive been banned from another forum 2 times as well for misbehaviour. but i would say some people dont want to read pieces of truth. and i always somehow manage to connect one subject to another, while other people see it as completely different matter because i haven’t explained it precisely enough. i just dont know, is there such a forum where without a care you can write anything you get ideas about… but still a place without spam. anyway good night)

but im lucky, i have a very good friend… expect that he lives few hours away… but next time i visit him we are going to sauna. and i will drink, after such a long time. its good to drink sometimes. i will drink hot crogs. he wont drink because he knows it will make him waste money, and he really cant afford many extras.
he usually makes me happy.
but its stupid that he repeats how old he is that he cant do something. like fix his posture. he looks like a snail when he sits.
that aside, never a boring person. when we are together, its like two kids.
