			As the title says, has there been any word on the class / race combos opening up? They said they plan on all races being all classes, but so far no word on it! I'd love to play a Warrior and Medic if only I could be Aurin! That butt-waving that humans do is just a bit repulsive. xD (For me, anyway, some people like it)

After we get Chua warriors and Granok stalkers
 
Also I like my booty! Don't hate humans cause you can't handle the booty	
----
			
my guess would be not for a long long time
if ever	
----
			
Oh I know it won't be around for a while, but it will happen; the dev's said they wanted to for release, but didn't have time to do all the animations. So, ha! I win. ^^
 
I was just hoping they'd said something about it. :P Guess not though.

			Class/Race restrictions are lore-based. It's pretty obvious.

			Can't say why Aurins can't be engineers as I see plenty of Aurin scientist already.

			I wish we could have aurin medic at least ;(. Or Mordesh esper!

			If they allow Aurin to be warriors/medics/engineers, they would need to move them to their own faction to balance out everything..

It is odd that the boss in the first Dominion adventure is a Mordesh Esper, but they are not playable yet. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
And a significant historical Mordesh figure was an esper...

			If it's 'lore-based' then the lore has some fairly serious gaps.     Aurin are technologically advanced enough to use nano-fields for stalkers, but not enough to bother using emitters for healing? Is it somehow against their code of tree-hugging nature loving?  And what about swords?  Let's see....again, stalkers cutting the crap out of things with powered claws, and yet somehow a sword never occured ot them.  Riiiiight.  Chua...chua shouldn't be limited by ANYTHING.  The sheer nature of their willingness to do ANYTHING for science means they shouldn't be restricted in what classes are available. If anything it's a little surprising Chua haven't figured out a way to break the 4th wall and steal random abilities from ALL the classes and mix them together into an explosive!   No, the only reason there aren't all race/class combos available is because the art/animation team have been tasked to something else. Like making berets that nobody asked for.  :/

And a sig
 
I certainly hope it doesn't take a year or more to get race/class updates, but... well.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
First Carbine has to get the game to being basically successful and functional. Judging by the apparent server populations in game, and all the bugs and issues yet to be resolved, we're not there yet by a long shot.
----
			
I was wondering how many pages this thread would go before someone pulled a variation of the "First they have to deal with the REAL stuff, guys!"
 
With that said, animating all of the races to work properly with all the class skills and combat stances is something that takes quite some effort. I don't think we'll ever see this until Carbine decides to make an expansion pack or a really, really big update. My guess would be a year from now at best. If they follow the WoW route, and considering how long it took to -that- game to add new classes to existing races, we'll have to wait for even longer.
 
It would be really nice and I'm still reserving an empty character slot in case this happens sooner rather than later (and because I don't trust Carbine to give us more character slots if they do). But don't hold your breaths!

Might as well level your Medic now. By the time Carbine adds new combos there will probably be a paid race change option! Then you'll be sad because you'll see my awesome Draken Medic running around at lv 50, irradiating all ur mobz, while you are forced to plink at boars in the woods. And I'll post an irritating picture, and giggle like a child.
 
Actually that sounds like a lot of fun.
----
			Holding on to a name until they release Mechari Esper...in many months I would assume <.<	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Draken or go home!!!! :D
<3
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Nah I quite like my Warrior I'm leveling (and I said Esper not medic. :P), though if they add faction changes my Exile Medic will be a Draken at that point.
----
			IIRC it has nothing to do with lore or them wanting specific classes to be specific race only, and has everything to do with running over budget on animations for certain combos so they cut out  the most obvious ones like Mechari Esper, Chua Warrior, Grannok Stalker, etc etc.	
----
			I can see a Granok becoming a spellslinger as I already seen a cowboy Granok who is also a judge, but a stalker.............	
----
			The stealth of Stalkers isn't "real" stealth: it's a nanite infused gizmo that makes them invisible. Doesn't really matter how big the user is. 	
----
			
Found some Alpha ingame pictures of Aurin Medics, before they were taken out.
 
 
 
 	
----
			I saw the thread in future drops, it looks like we will get 3 more classes in the future.	
----
			
I've never understood why there are class/race restrictions.
 
Lore reasons are unjust. GW2 just passed lore reasons off as "practising the arts of the Elements was frowned upon by the Charr. Most Charr found performing the arts were abandoned by their warband" instead of stopping Charr from being Elementalist. Why can't more games justify reasons like that?

Well I did this as reference for myself, because I planned to just mod Wildstar in my free time to have Chua warriors.
However I shelved the idea since, knowing my luck I'd be the one guy banned for a visual mod XD

Love it. Nice work!
 
 
 
Although it makes me think Chua should just grab a Mechari/Draken sized blade, attach a hover platform to it, and ride it like a hoverboard into their enemies.
----
			
Thanks and those would be neat ideas as well. Way I pictured it is that I didn't want to tax myself doing it too much and just went with the idea of using the existing "fit" barrel chested chua body type as a baseline and the idea that Chua are capable of manipulating muscular structure in  a way to overcome size limitations giving them ability to lift large swords.
 
I did some references for Chua stalkers too, I'll put them up later when I get them off my work computer.	
----
			If I could magically obtain a new feature in this game, more class/race combinations would  be the last one I would pick, this seems completely pointless.

Aurin are like cats / monkeys, both of which are FAR stronger than they appear. A chimp is ~5x as strong as a man. Jaguars are stronger than people. So on.
 
So... Invalid opinion, Madda!

No, the only reason there aren't all race/class combos available is because the art/animation team have been tasked to something else. Like making berets that nobody asked for.  :/
----
			
There are Aurin using rifles, Aurin using swords, Mordesh Espers, and so on. There is no lore preventing anything. If anything, Aurin would be the best Medics, given their personality and all that. The only reason they aren't able to be Medics is because they couldn't finish all the animations in time for release.
 
The onnnnlllly lore thing that might prevent anything is a Draken Medic. According to the Draken, healing is a sign of weakness, so they wouldn't agree with Medics too much, being doctors and all.

{| class="blockquote"
Don't forget, in lore, Arwick, Queen Everstar's First Consort is a skilled swordsman. 
----
			I think he's pretty badass and have met quite a few Aurin players that do as well. 	
----
			
Arwick is a total jackass. I love how he's always so: *sigh* You kept me waiting! blah blah! I could do better! Blah blah!
 
I've even said to my screen before: Well, maybe if you could climb down off your plush pillow pile. and stop making everyone else do *your* job, maybe the help would increase a bit of productivity. 
 
But no; dear Arwick prefers to stand in one place and bark orders and belittle your character.
 
Yeah... such a badass, he is.  :rolleyes:
 
Not having a go at you, he's just a character I don't really care for. No one, in either guild I play with can stand him. lol

Let's be honest. Carabine is swamped and probably does not have time to work on new animations for the classes.
Problem is that the list of things Not working is bigger than the list of things Actually working.
 
(Still getting DC everytime I exit my house. Gotta use recall.)

Arwick was my first crush when leaving cryo.  I thought he was a bit abrasive over the comm with his exasperated sighs and impatient prompting, but then I figured out 1- he works for a ... "queen", and 2- he has to deal with every single noobie that rolls out of cryo.  Both of which would make even the nicest person into Roz from Monsters Inc.
 
Off-duty, Arwick is a sweetie.
 
On-topic.. if Medic were initially an option, I would have been one because of my desire to heal and not knowing any better.  Having grown up Esper, I wouldn't want to now.  That said, I'd like to see Warrior as an option for my peeps.

I like my idea better...
 
Reason i did it this way is because Chua are a little comical. Youtube search the WS flick 'dirty little secrets' where they introduce the Chua.  They had a part in there where the Chua burrowing vehicle pops out of the ground and a bunch of hatches opened up and all the little gadgets and rocket launchers came out.  Only thing that would suck about my idea is that they would have to come up with a completely new animation for the Chua sword...but imo it would be totally worth it lol.

Pretty sure they're animation not being done based hoss.
----
			Wtf does wow have to do with this? I am saying that they didn't have animations for all race/class combos finished yet and that's more likely the cause of ace/class restrictions than lore.

still waiting on a Draken Esper race change :)
 
race/class restrictions have nothing to do w/lore, like crafting & pvp, it was just rushed for release.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You're correct that Warcraft has nothing to do with this and the resource limitation is the reason as opposed to lore. Carbine themselves have stated this before...
----
			
I too would like an update on how far along they are with new class/race animations :)
 
I am sure many people will be happy with their new Aurin and Chuas
 
Personally I want all the Draken.. Yessssss all the Draken.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm aware and would love to do all kinds of things, but have to remain more practical as the Chua utilize a similar set of "bones" already  to what exists and there are to varying degrees existing animations of Chua warriors already. The other issue is that unless it's a toggle It takes away from consistency of great sword designs of Wildstar in that as you said they'd have to redesign all of the blades to accommodate telescoping,  it'd be strange to have great swords drop from Nexus that just magically change their design, and quite a few people like to have the entire weapon visible when sheathed(heck look at stalkers asking for their blades to be shown).
 
For cupcakes n giggles I started on the animations for personal practice. I got a lot of messages asking me about it so figured why not...(Doesn't mean I will mod the game though, but just do animation and modeling outside of game) and building a new body type too...
