Forsaken World: Vampire Class Revealed

Perfect World Entertainment has finally revealed one of the most anticipated classes in its upcoming MMO, Forsaken World. The Vampire Class is, according to developers, hard to pin down in any singular role. Vampires can heal themselves and others as well as deal damage through sacrificial spells. The class will feature seventy spells across three skill trees.
The Vampire class is hard to pin down as being designed to fill a specific roll. They can heal themselves as well as party members, sacrifice health to deal extra damage, become a back-line spellcaster, and even transform into a bat that can breathe fire (the bat is on fire as well, naturally).

Anyone else think this is going to be a rehash of what happened with SWG and Jedi?
Meaning, are we going to see a million Vampires running around and only a handful of the other classes?
I'm mildly interested in the game to the point i'll try out the closed beta when it activates but i've yet to be able to enjoy a PWI game thus far.
I ll try to be at least the "Aucard12" or maybe "DarkEvilHellAlucard"
Fire breathing bat though?
Yeah vampires with huge crosses!!!!!
What else?
So what they're essentially saying is:
"We're coping DAOC's Vampiir almost word for word in terms of viability, cool factor, overpoweredness, popularity, an mechanics."
Anyone else....?
The Theory of Conservative Conservation of Ignorant Stupidity:
Having a different opinion must mean you're a troll.
Yes because it's a known fact that Mythic invented Vampires and "vampiric" abilities.
Ahh another DAOC fan. The game that everyone loves but no one ever played.
disclaimer: yes I know it's still afloat so it HAD to have had some subs, but anytime I bring it up in conversations with gamers and non gamers alike, I get this dazed look and a bunch of "huh?"s
I'm SO excited for this game! Not to play it, mind you, just to look at it. I already played it when it was called Perfect World, and Ether Saga, and Jade Dynasty, and all the other PWI games that play EXACTLY THE SAME.
But it's pretty! I will be entertained by high level people posting videos of all their flashy skills. And then I will go play something more fun.
"Forums aren't for intelligent discussion; they're for blow-hards with unwavering opinions."
PWI is still trying huh? they're cloning their own games. (see battle of the immortals)
Yuppers clone after clone, wich is sad really these free to pay games are beating pay to pay games in the graphics department but they lack all development and originality to stand out from themselves.
I was interested til I found out that the beta key I got from mmorpg in march/april doesnt necessarily get me a spot in the cb on the 27th,that someone who just received a key a week ago has as much of a chance to, which makes me think all those keys they gave to mmorpg and other 3rd party sites were more to build up hype and bolster the amount of registered accounts for pwe.
meh, I'm still making a bard, a priest, and eventually a mage.
Agreeed. I am VERY interested in bard myself, due to the uniqueness of the gameplay of that class. I bet a lot of people will be frustrated with that class, just because you can't just pew pew everything and because casting and using skills is entirelly different from usual stufff
Actually you WILL get into beta.
Everyone who has a beta key will get into a closed beta. Its just that closed beta is split up into separate focus tests. You might not be in the group that gets to it in 27th, but you might get in in the group that gets into it a week or two later and etc.
Ever since PWE announced the shift to western audience this year, evne in china, all of their newer betas are getting this focus beta treatment, to ensure that game is actually tested in controlled group of people instead of usual "lets try the game" stuff.
I'm really interested in what PWE is currently doin as there are some serious stuff going on, from re-designign some of their games (like boI getting restarted with actual diablo-like gameplay), to them even announcing the development of sandbox mmorpg, with bioware like alignment systems.

I never said I wouldnt get into cb maybe read posts before trying to correct them so my point still stands.
