The special class synergies could instead just buff the classes to add new or changed abilities, but the core should be available to everyone. Like, I have two godlikes, not counting the crystal synergizer. I don't like collecting guns I won't use. (I have a "heroic with bleed" collection but that's because I love the gun and the trait and I want one of each gun because that's just useful).
But all of the classes look super cool and thought out and would make the game way more fun.
I typed up this long response on mobile, but its mobile and when i posted it nothing was there.
Soooo, essentially what i said was:
Your point is definitely valid, and I dont mean to disregard that point.
It's just that I believe that the base classes should exist in a separate sort of idea as specialized classes.
Each class has its own trade-off as well, so if you can't afford a lot of the expensive stuff that makes a class as great as it could be to buy, you can still use it and enjoy it.
For example, the Assassin:
You realistically only need a ninjato, rebounding crystal, and orb of acrophobia to be able to get this class perk. And while it might not work the best, you're given the availability of still being able to use whatever primary and secondary you want as trade-off.
The Brute:
If you dont have the 15k to buy a cheap vit crystal, it's just a legbiter, any shotgun, any deagle, and an orb of curing that's 200 coins on the market.
You get the idea.
Some of these are meant to be accessible only with some certain things, but then again that's because... it's not something everyone should have access to.
That's something that I'm sure will lose flair for the classes. If, as I said before, as new classes get added it's just always a chance to become something new, that spark exponentially becomes less bright each time it happens, and eventually it just doesnt work because the items you have dont support the class you got. (even now with just 3 classes this is apparent)
It gives people some control over what class they are, still gives the option to not be a class just by using weapons they like by making the requirements somewhat strict, and makes it a little bit more personal.
I, for one, love the idea of just thinking about innocents/dets calling out that a traitor is an assassin, so you need to look at walls to see if they're invis on one or just hanging out. Or if someone's an Ancient, you know they could have a /lot/ of HP and are a dangerous target.
Like I said before, when classes were first released I was excited, but this gets me going.
(...and again, I'm not saying everything should be a special class. That is
not what I want, that would rather defeat the purpose. I just want there to be a mix of base classes and special classes, with a good distinction between the two.)
