New class is in development (assasin/rogue). I think this class don´t fit to this situations and for me isn´t this class any good

 

4 classes are enough for this game.

 

...said no one ever about this sort of game.

Every other game in DSO's genera has way more options for race/class combos. I remember watching a review from two years ago that commented on this point and saying that it makes the game feel like it is stagnating. They weren't wrong. We can use at least one more this year and another next year and then wed be closer to a decent amount of variation.

 

Back in July 2015 Haruki talked about the new class:

about the new class... If we had already a clear prototype about it, don´t you think we would have already started teasing about it? The new class is something that is coming to Drakensang well after the content expansion. Of course we already have some ideas about it but we still need to make the final decision. And, no, it's not the Plague Doctor.

That was right after she talked about guild wars:

Guild battles: they are coming after Lor'Tac and we know how important this is for all of you, guys. So do not worry because we will announce them loud and clear and across languages so everyone gets all the cool info in their mother-tongue (exclude the Twitch sessions, of course...)

Let's not forget, they were also addressing pvp matchmaking back then also:

PVP matchmaking fixing: yes, this is still on the works and it's also a long process because it entails a lot of thinking, designing and investigation from the side of the game developers and designers. It is not in the roadmap because we do not have a concrete date for its implementation yet. Rest assured that it will be directly addressed after Lor'tac.

 

They forgot about all of that, they were implementing important stuff like bad events and creatress tears

 

I think a new class would be a great thing. but i do not think another full combat class is a good idea. we need a priest class someone who can group heal, supply buffs for party, resurrect fallen party members ect. i think a full support class would support and enhance more group play and encourage higher teir runs

 

More's the pity. The idea of the Plague Doctor was rather interesting; a Melee DoT archetype would be fun to play, and it would fit really well with the trend of naming my characters "Doctor..." or "Dr..."
