Hey everyone, long time no see. So like many of you I am hyper stoked for the open beta test in just 2 days. However, unlike some I don't know what class I want to play. So I thought what would help me decide , and maybe help others too, is to know what kind of class everyone else is going to play. That way I'll know what's popular and good and also what class there is less of so that maybe I could contribute to a team in a more uncommon way.
Ramar - Most of the previous projections are actually suggesting an even distribution among all classes. So go with your gut and pick the one you think you'd like best. If that doesn't work, flip a coin. It's how I operate :)
Hunter in the open beta, and in the release version I'll buy a 2nd character slot for a Force. Eventually I'll either buy a 3rd character slot for a Ranger, or if the english servers are separate from the japanese servers (with separate update schedules), I'll possibly have a Ranger in the english servers (I'll still play mostly in the japanese servers though, I bet SEGA of America is going to screw something up with the english version of PSO2).
well on pso i was always a hucast, on psu i was a "hucast" and then i created a newman fortetecher and kinda enjoyed the role reversal, on psujp i created a cast acrotecher and simply loved it. so ill be going force because i get more gratification over healing and supporting "with some melee to boot"
hunter seems fun too, but ill stick to my techs/gunblade ^^
i hope this helps you :)
I always been a Humar and will keep being Humar forever and ever.
Whoa, that is HEAVILY skewed in favor of the hunters. Wow.
Not that that will get me to change my choice any. My mind is made!
Humar, because I like to swing around a melee object and hit things with it. Haha but each class seems more unique in PSO2, if you tried all three classes for enough time and still don't know then that coin idea is just for you.
HUcast all the way for me.
Proud to be a RAcast :D
I'm a Hucast at the start but since we can change classes i will eventually play them all. Acrotecher was my favorite in PSU.
FOnewearl. :)
its funny to see the most underpowered class gets the most votes :P
ill go with a racast first, then a fonewman
both female because these combinations end up with the most bonus stat points (offensive atleast)
HUCast all the way.
HUmar is always my first choice!
I'm also having a hard time deciding on what class to be. One of my friends is a Ra. So I'm really leaning towards FO, but HU's are so fun to play.
Probably going to go RAnewearl, and then switch between it and Force when I get bored.
RAcast or RAmar. Too many hunters as it is.
Im gonna be a force as always even though I truly prefer the newman hunters play style. Forces are like the magical support with their support spells and rangers support the party by having the accuracy to inflict statud inflictions and the flinch will allow your hunter time to swing its slow weapon or charge that pa. Hope this helps :3
I will for sure be a force but if I see that the rangers need more in their ranks I will consider joining the few the proud, the rangers
RA :)
I agree, not many rangers, i might be a RAcast eventuallyQuote:

There's nowhere near enough forces. Good thing I'll be buying extra character slots just to have a dedicated Force. My main, however, will be a ranger.
I voted Hunter, but I'm also going to have a Force, not sure which one of them will be my main character though. ^^Quote:

Fonewm. Fonewms and Fonewearls are definitely my favorite classes. I'll probably run one of each class eventually, but I gotta start with my classic.
FOnewm! i enjoyed being a Force in the Pre open beta when i played. so im gonna go force all the way!
Hunter, HUmar to be technical, but eventually he'll be all three, I might eventually buy other characters but even if I do, all of my characters will be all of the classes... There's no point in limiting yourself to one... plus you have a huge arsenal of techs and PAs built up for other classes by the time you switch classes. ^^
i've been a RAcast for years, but the updates to Forces are making me seriously consider FOcast.
I'll be starting out as a HUnewm since I need time to get used to the interface once I actually play the game. When I'm comfortable with everything, I'll change him over to a FOnewm and I'll derp around as a Ranger on the side. I almost always start out as a Hunter in MMOs since in my opinion they're very beginner friendly. Thank god for class changing is all I can say.
I've only ever played Forces in PSO and PSU, usually in a nuking capacity, but I'm up for something different now. Having tried some other first and third person shooters recently, Ranger seems like the way to go. Pew pew!
People dont wanna be forces cause they lack the mental and spiritual capability to master the magical arts and the shear awesomeness of being a forceQuote:

Starting out as a Force!
Rangers. Guns are the way to go.
Thanks everyone for the great response so far. I think I would be moved by this information to make a force. What will be interesting is growing the force. Based upon the skill chart it would seem that there is a lot of benefit to making a force dedicated to one element type: Speed(fire); Power(ice); Longevity(lightning). Play style will also determine how I develop the character and which element(s) i choose to invest in. Thanks to Gardios and his skill simulator ( http://www.pso-world.com/forums/show...ar#post2764456) its easy to map out different character builds.
I cant wait to see how this pole turns out by Thursday. It will be a lot of fun playing with you all when the servers finally open!
Force, always liked the "mage" style classes in games.
I've always been more of a melee on games
love swords, and to take the battle heat up front =w=
so yeah, I'm going for the good old HUmar
im a bit biased if ill turn my human into a newman... not sure how defense will be afected by this.
RAcaseal all the way.
Ranger then Force. Been a ranged class user for many years and will not stop.
Played Ranger and Force at CB but going to be Hunter and Ranger at OB.
I find it curious that even with PSO-W's smaller sample size, the poll closely mirrors the ratios from the CBT's results.
You'll be a hair squishier - the race differences are pretty small.Quote:

RAmar. I was going to be a RAcast, but since each character can switch between the classes in the lobby, I will be going with a human character for more balanced stats for when I switch to Force, or maybe even Hunter.
HUmar.
i've always made a HUmar first.
RAcast second.
Glorious HUcast master race.
Also, some FOcast fun when I'm bored. I've always longed to play as a FOcast.
You sir are a smart cookie Cast is without a doubt the master when it came to hunter , ranger and NOW they'll be the master race for force and make laughing stocks outta melee fomar and fomarl :DQuote:

I like your observation. I actually started writing down the numbers from this poll. I wish I had thought to do so sooner, I'm starting with the sample population at 83. It will be fun to see some graphs and projections.Quote:

Ofc hunter i love the weapon selections for them.... alot
My signature will tell you what I'm starting with.
I were a Racast in the Pre-open.
So i go with either a Hucaseal or Hunewearl this time.
I'm beginning to think I'll just make my Force instead.
I did enjoy her quite a bit during the CBT...
Female ranger cast all the way! I don't want to be anything else. -_-
RAmarl. I was a RAmarl in PSO, and I shall continue to be as such in PSO 2.
RAcast. With a cowboy hat, because nothing is more awesome than riding on my launcher with my lasso and cowboy hat, wranglin' up some Rappy's.
Force! Because unlike PSU series, Newman Hunter is fairly common... And the spells are quite nice...
male Human ranger but got a female newman force too :P
