I think (hope) they're busy with a larger character class balance update.

Don’t think so

Hope is a big word , but let's all hope for this. Although I think the next update will most probably bring more new achievements like Complete 100k Jobs , Complete 500k jobs , Complete 1M jobs etc

Found this GEM in the French forum...it seems that is really happening, my question is though why is this not published in all local servers and beta? For better and faster results you need to discuss with all the markets together at once not just 1 every time..

Good question.

Here at Beta, we receive a lot of feedback regarding all kinds of game elements, and we are thankful for that. We received a lot of your suggestions regarding character class changes in recent months, almost all of the game aspects. Everyone knows that they can go here freely and publish their thoughts to be heard out by us, as this is part of our vocation, and we do it with a lot of passion. We always forward all of them without leaving anyone out. We are doing our part as Beta staff and players like you.

Perhaps this topic hasn't been discussed in that market for a long time, so there may be a lack of starting feedback. You can freely open a new topic regarding that question or ask us to open one, and we will happily open one for you. We are once thankful for everyone who is part of our community, and we will look forward to more fruitful talks and discussions to make The West once again the greatest game of all time.

quick question on feedback on character classes.. dont make it directly a fourm feedback thing.
make it like a ad when you join your world the first thing you see is ..
lets get your feedback on how would you like to see your character classes updated etc..
more chances of people seeing it and getting many more feedbacks then through just the forum!!

Sadly 90% of people that play this game do not understand how the game works and forum feedback can be pretty wild sometimes so I hope that you and your fellow staff members can discern useful feedback / ideas thats productive to the class changes when showing da big bosses. Otherwise you might find yourselves with so much random feedback it cannot used to make an informed decision and precious "dev" time is wasted.

I REALLY hope we dont get lukewarm adjustments & flat nerfs. The game has progressed after these 15 years and rather than nerfing whats OP and slightly adjusting these massively outdated bonuses they should be expanded & improved, so that each class is similarly OP in their own unique way. Making interesting interactions between each class, and their own individual uses. That should be the focus for this IMO.

Agreed. Can you, please, elaborate?
How would you try to achieve that?

Character class: Dueller
Duellers live for the moment. They love to duel. They challenge other players for a handful of dollars, out of revenge or even just for fun. Duellers rarely stay close to their town, they move from town to town looking for good opponents. Duellers are ideal for very active players that like the conflict.

The speed on the map is increased by 10%. - Buff 20%

The motivation for duelling raises faster. It is increased 40% faster. - buff 25%

You receive 10% more money in a duel. - buff 20%

In fort battles, you have the chance of 10% to score a critical hit. Critical hits deduct an additional 10% from the maximum health points. - buff deduct 15% from max hp

You can perform duels within a radius of 15 minutes without traveling there. - buff 20mins

Your battle hardened instincts allow you to see the bonus skill points of your opponents' equipment and weapon wield in the duel menu.

not crazy increase/decrease what yal think?
add on to dueler class can be made too .. just not thought off yet if possible

 

[WhyN0t]

If anything, duelist class should be nerfed, but buffed )

You can perform duels within a radius of 15 minutes without traveling there. - buff 20mins

With a speed buff, you can already duel all over the map with the duel set equiped without moving, it's not necessary.

In fort battles, you have the chance of 10% to score a critical hit. Critical hits deduct an additional 10% from the maximum health points. - buff deduct 15% from max hp

Now that the level is increased and all tanks have higher hp, I think the crits should deduct less hp. 7.5% instead of 10%.
If this happens, I agree with the other buffs you suggested

 

[Uchiha Madara]

I made a thread about the Character class changes , better gives your feedbacks here (https://forum.beta.the-west.net/index.php?threads/character-classes-update-re-balancing.4483/) so all this doesnt get lost here.
