From March 9 to March 16, Magelo ran a Class Question Q&A Contest. Users entered to win one of five VoA CD Keys or 1000SC codes.

Below, we have posted the winners and the finalized questions we submitted to Sony as found on the Original Contest Thread!

Blue denotes a first prize recipient.
Red denotes a second prize recipient
Green denotes a special prize given at the discretion of Magelo, enjoy!

Bard

oblib: Are there any plans to review the functionality of instruments? As it is, we lose DPS by equipping one and gain zero benefit overall, since most of us are high above the mod cap implemented in PoP.

Beastlord

HieroDesteen: I have always wondered why the Beastlord class cannot track? It seems that a person that has an affinity for beasts would have some ability to track them!

Druid

ValinEndac: Can we look forward to seeing the Druid class become a more damage focused hybrid again since the lack of healers was fixed with the addition of cleric mercenaries?

Magician

jman2890: How do you intend to nullify pet tanking in the raid game, without destroying how a group magician functions day to day?

Monk

Rten: What do you consider to be our unique defining class characteristic? EQ has many hybrid classes, and I love the concept of a monk. Since DPS is shared by many classes and several are superior to ours, FD/Fade is now shared by many classes, our ability to tank is limited, and so on; I am no longer clear what ours is.

Paladin

hazimil: Throughout roleplaying history, the main focus of a Paladin was against Undead. However, their powers against Undead appear to diminish with each expansion (compared to other classes). Also, their ability as tanks has been substantially reduced with VoA (to the point where it’s very hard to get a group). Are there any plans to improve this class as an Undead Specialist and/or improve their ability to tank in VoA?

afai: What would you consider to be the best main role for a Paladin based upon gear solely attainable from grouping? Should our primary concern be a Secondary Tank, Heal and Cure support or focus as Main Tank and concentrate on our defensive AA? I would really like to know how to address new players who do not have access to raid gear and will more likely be playing in the F2P scenario thus limiting their AA count. Which role would be best suited given these factors?

Warrior

makavien: Are there plans to implement a charge ability which engages an NPC?

Class Systems/Itemization Questions:

Menehune1: It's always been a pain to do epic quests since they aren't usable in higher content. Are there plans to review this, or to consider ornamentation post-2.0? I think it would be cool to have pallies with their flaming swords, warriors with their light sabers, and casters with their staves and that it might encourage players to pursue their epic quests.

bamjammer: Will there be new epic weapon/item quests introduced (3.0) in future updates/expansions, and are there plans to streamline the current epic quests for incoming new players to make it easier for them to get started on them?

Off the beaten path


Oxgoad
Class: Enchanter
Q: If you disguise yourself as the illusion of a tree falling in a forest, and no NPC is around to hear, do you make a sound?

Jerad
Class: Bard
Q: How long on average does it a take a new dev to realize that they wish bards never existed?


Congratulations to those who won! We will post the answers as soon as we receive the answers from Sony, so stay tuned!
