imageTERA: First Look at the Valkyrie Class - TERA Videos - MMORPG.com

Let me start by saying yes – I’d love for there to be a non-gender locked class or possibly at least a male class with all the new ones being released over the past couple of years. But that complaint aside, the Valkyrie is awesome. Only Castanic women can be a Valkyrie – a massive polearm wielding melee fighter.

    True. But they originally called the class the... what was it? Paragon? Valkyrie was the voted name after.

    Looks cool, but at the same time it seems strange seeing a Valk using a polearm. Would have been better if they made the class as a shield-maiden imo.

    well... so there we go, got a male version for the class now, gotcha :)

    i am curious, did they decide to go "female only" after, or before that vote?

    Long before. In fact, I think every new class added since launch has been female only. :(

    kk, well, boobies sell better i guess, thx for the answer :)

    was just curious if it was planned, or just a troll move due to the voted name (something i actually might have done if that would be my release *G*).

    how about a polearm AND a shield...BDO the Valk awakening is a big !#$*# lance and she still has a shield - it's pretty sweet. Too bad Tera already has a Lancer class, lol.

    :( Still waiting for the Jonbenet class for Elin... oh well guess they have their priorities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Pretty near all my chars are female Castanic anyhow, so Valks being locked to them has no real impact on me.

    The name Valkyrie was chosen in a poll by the playerbase, not by the developers.

    Its really dumb making any class gender specific. MMOrpg should be all about customization. 
  • RemyVorenderRemyVorender Member RarePosts: 4,005
    I would have come back if they had made a male version of this polearm class. Oh well.

    nobody is interested in grinding through the crap content to get to top level before the game gets good!

    I have always liked this game and I'm not big on eastern style mmos. I think I have come back to it about 4 times and never lasted more than a month each time before I leave again. Like the game, but can't stand the community.

    I'm not an IT Specialist, Game Developer, or Clairvoyant in real life, but like others on here, I play one on the internet.

    Would play it to try it out but April 12th is exp boost week in PSO2. Need dat expz due to level cap increase.

    This is the third female class in a row is it ? No wonder people are getting miffed.

  • nimander99nimander99 Member UncommonPosts: 288
    BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

    Another female class. I'm gonna start tossing rocks at En Masse HQ, they work pretty close to where I live...
  • itchmonitchmon Member RarePosts: 1,999
    I do hope their next class is non locked, or maybe popori/Baraka only (male only races).

    I play male and female characters and I'd like some new class hype and look forward to making a dude. And baraka/ popori are both cool looking in their own ways (ALL tera models are pretty cool to me, tho)

    What TIME on the 11th?
  • TineaTinea Member UncommonPosts: 86
    I might be way off since I'm not a programmer or designer, but I don't think it's just about gender locking. It's about model-locking, meaning they only have to design the new class to one model. Saves time and money. Throw some weak lore in to justify, and they've got the next class.
  • centkincentkin Member RarePosts: 1,527
    Actually it could also be to clamp down on the racial powers of a specific class.  Potentially some racial powers are too good when combined with a prospective class.
