    As a fan of the game I agree. I already have zero interest in playing this class, this trailer doesn't even try to sway me.

    There's a single line in one of the books, something along the lines of 'he smite him a heavy blow with his fist'.   

    In one of the early discussions a dev identified the line.

    SWG (pre-cu) - AoC (pre-f2p) - PotBS (pre-boarder) - DDO - LotRO (pre-f2p) - STO (pre-f2p) - GnH (beta tester) - SWTOR - Neverwinter

    It is loosely based on Helm Hammerhand a king of Rohan who in desperation slew many enemies with his fist

    Dwarfish man attacks enemies with fists.
    Dwarfish man using kind of beam-weapon attack.
    Dwarfish man activates ray shield
    And finally, dwarfish man in front of some allies.
    That's what they call "trailer". Dear SSG, do offer 1 month VIP for those who could make real trailer, not this mockery.
    I think they told Brawler was based on some Tucas, who liked to punch enemies. And Mr. Hammerhand too.

    Terrible trailer for a terrible looking class. The Brawler has no place in Lord of the Rings. Looks totally out of place and hilariously stupid.
    I like to complain about games.

    Is this the Dragon Ball Z collaboration they were talking about?

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Dumbest class choice ever, how does that even fit into LOTR lore.
  • NeblessNebless Member RarePosts: 1,878
    Instead of this as a new class, I would have rather seen them just lift the race restrictions on the current classes.

    SWG (pre-cu) - AoC (pre-f2p) - PotBS (pre-boarder) - DDO - LotRO (pre-f2p) - STO (pre-f2p) - GnH (beta tester) - SWTOR - Neverwinter

    That's because there isn't much of a real team left sadly. No artists, animators, etc.

    So it's most likely reused assets from other classes cobled together with some basic animations bought off the shelf.

    The previous expac was horrifically bad. You could just see it was just slapped together from old assets, with some recoloring here and there in MS Paint. /shrug

    So I am holding my breath for the upcoming expac. It's hard for it to be any worse than the previous one. lol.

    And if they going to push through the current iteration of the LI revamp and piss off most of their old time loyal players, it will be the final nail in the coffin for this game sadly. /sigh
