They better show some new Advanced classes cause the recent one we got was released around August iirc. Its already more than a year since Hero was released so they better hype us all to death with some new class goodies.

They said they're doing one per episode, so we're not going to hear about another one until episode 6 is around the corner at best. And that's assuming the shift in plans didn't push it back.

Saw this in the last few years as a bad idea to do. Should at least be 2 new classes per episode and the next one scould feature a new weapon class for that class on its own (Bitball, Bard, etc.) Having only 1 per episode means everybody and their mother is gonna run to that class for the next 3+ months.

People are voting for advanced class but their defining trait is using older weapons in a new way, if you want new weapons, you need a normal class...but apparently according to SEGA"s poll nobody wants normal class, so new weapon is more than unlikely to happen.

One class per episode is enough in my book, first because regardless of how often you get new classes, people will always bandwagon like mad on whatever is the most recent. Whatever new advanced will be played like mad for 6 months until next one happens, and it will then fail into oblivion for the next newest thing unless it's not to their taste. Also let's be real, sinking more budget into designing new classes from scratch would mean less new content, and we all know what happens whenever SEGA doesn't deliver enough content... Let's not forget people playing one class to death and then claiming it's boring outright refusing to play any of the 9 other very unique classes the game has for more than 5 minutes is kind of a contradiction.

TGS Stream will most likely be detail the collab with Monster Hunter and Double DB update while teasing whatever final boss (most likely Omega PD but we never know) EP5 will throw at us, so new advanced teaser won't happen until the station after that if we're VERY optimistic

Makes sense. I'm just waiting on my Rifle/Rod/Partisan(Katana) class that has some cool class-only tricks or a protranser-lite class that can use every weapon (PSU-memories).

Hoping SONY announces a Switch competitor at TGS2018.

A class desiged around the Gunslash is long overdue.
Sega's stubborness of making the Gunslash equally useless on all classes is also somewhat misplaced because there are class combo's who are objectively better for a Gunslash build than others.

We already had a S/R hybrid Class with the BRaver and a S/T hybrid Class with the BOuncer. The logical consequence would have been to get the long-awaited R/T hybrid Class (with Diskas and Whips for example). But we got HEro instead with three old weapons used a different way and players got really mad at that. But the same players voted to get more advanced Classes. Totally sensible. As Zephyrion says, a new weapon is unlikely to happen (we'll probably never have one anymore).
