Iconics and the Future

[MistaMagic]

I believe one of the constraints that I have read about Iconics is that they have to be a base class that is FTP.

Happy gaming!

Totaly wrong as there are only 4 classes that are FTP being Dwarf, Elf, Halfling and Human

Maybe they are thinking of Pen and Paper D&D Basic where your race was your class (usually a mix of two predefined classes) except for Human (later Half-Elf) where you were able to pick a class

The next Iconic we will see will be a shifter barbarian.

I think ThomasHunter is referring to the fact that the Iconic character is forced into a class at level 1, so it needs to be a class that you own (i.e. F2P) or it will cause problems. I don't even know what MistaMagic is referring to.

((Edited for clarity))

only barb and sorc remain, one will be covered with next expansion and the last one i have the feeling it will be a dragonborn iconic.

also have a feeling that then fvs will become f2p and we will get another iconic if needed, or maybe we won't, some new system lvl 30-40 will keep us busy.

Well FvS and Arti would be the two to be test-cases for a system where you have to own the base class to be able to play the iconic, since they're both unlockable in-game...

Thats how I foresee it working once they run through the F2P classes. Not bundled together, but just prerequisite - like how you cant buy Shared Storage spaces until you buy Shared Storage. That'd keep value in the unlocks, or the existing bundles like getting Druid with MotU.

Or just .. this iconic is able to access the specific pay class, since you got the iconic. It's not difficult. Take as many levels in whatever it starts as paid class, during the iconic life. If you reincarnate into *not this iconic* then you are back to the normal requirement for class access ... pay or don't play.
