Master classes Poll

Here is the link for the weapon allowances tables

It's a bit small but you can see the progression from hunter to figunner to this "master class"

Also note it is not the story mission hunter class, since other than melee weapons this "master class" can only use pistols at A.

To Niered's earlier point, this would actually be a very limiting class as it will not be able to use range or force weapons, this would be a more specialist class than anything else. Also addressing PSU Pedia's suggestion of level 20 advance classes, it is just the speculation of who ever added that entry and should be taken at that.

Again at this early point in game development I am sure that most of what is to come is still in flux. However I for one believe that ADDITIONAL classes will come with the expansion, why else would we need so many MPs from S2 runs. Whether these ADDITIONAL classes will be "Master" or not I don't know, and won't know until the beta begins.

even if that picture were true, I wouldn't do it because I love my twin handguns, crossbow, and mechgun as a fighgunner. That looks more like a super fortefighter than anything to do with fighgunner... plus I could easily make that picture too

We need so many MP so that we can get these expert classes to level 20 in the future, and so you can play multiple classes if you'd like to.

I couldn't really care less I'd be very much excited by a level 20 fortegunner, but anything else is unimportant to me as I like my guns & thats where I'm staying

Doesn't matter since at the rate we're going we'll only have rank 10, maybe 11 S rank weapons by the end of the year. Unless there's some hugely steep entrace requirement I'd also wager that there'd be some reason to not use them (no PP recharge bonus, no PA efficiency, no traps, etc)

Unless they're just a fancy third-tier that you get from capping forte classes. Well, whatever.

There are screen shots of a weapon grind where every melee weapon is list as "S"

This would point to the possiblity of some kind of expert / master class

I believe we established the image in question to be a beta/prototype Fortefighter. It was likely adjusted before it was actually released, though.

I don't know why you guys are so against this ever happening, maybe there will be SS weapons, SSS weapons, etc.

Maybe this was some sort of fighter/transer that could use all melee weapons but "only" S (assuming there will be higher than S)

Also, maybe it's just more specialized, IE, maybe this "master fotrefighter" class has extreme ATP, HP, DP, but terrible ATA, MST, EVA

I don't see why this couldn't happen, and i don't understand why someone has to be so against it. I'm sure sega won't come out with a class that can use all the highest rank weapons and get a stat boost in everything; that part is not even worth entering an argument about.

[Niered]

So your ASKING sega to artificially make the game feel bigger by adding more classes of weapons so that you need to add more "Master classes" instead of taking a good system they already have and just expanding it?

[Golto]

A2K appears to be correct. It does look like the Japanese for Fortefighter in the 3rd pic. Can't be 100% sure since it is a jpeg and rather small. So maybe the master types thing in the expansion is false.

[Ravennittes]

From what I understand, there won't be any master classes until the expansion, if ever. As well, in the expansion, the classes will be modified to incorperate the new weapons, and the weapons who's star level exceeds 12. (They will go to 15).

[Soukosa]

The picture of the supposed "master class" is from a dev's blog and was posted back when the game first came out. It's likely not to exist anymore and would likely be considered broken anyways.

As for the SS rank weapons, that seems very feasable since they are gonna release weapons up to 15* in the expansion and there's proof of 13*~15* ores and the boards to upgrade lower ores to them.

IMHO, if they release any sort of master class(es) they'll just be extended versions of the expert classes we have now. Not only for the above mentioned possibility but also to aid in further difficulty added to the game. Granted they could just make all of the "SS rank" weapons to be S rank and just expand upon the class type levels, which would likely be easier.
