Foxes, Elementals, and Other Things. (New Racial Archetypes Discussion)

[Hi. 958]

We have like.. Eight Archetypes which are basically just Humans in various outfits. We have.. Anthro Deer dudes. Centaurs (Male and Female!). Minotaurs (Male only? Probably.) Guenicians (Probably Male only, again. (what)).

 

How about the next Archetype is of a race other than the standard human? Maybe a Fox Person, or an Elemental, or a Djinni or something.

 

This thread is for cool Archetype ideas.

Elephant people sentent creatures so they use trees with slabs of iron attached to it as a battle ax

How about cricket bards?

Oh yeah good one. Good insectoid races are supremely rare. It's mostly because a lot of people don't like insects...but I don't care I love them.

 

I'm all in for more monster races! I love variety and the way they're going about that to allow such variety, it's very exciting what the future might bring. I'm not sure we'll be getting more archetypes before launch. But it's a great way to keep the game fresh after launch. 

 

And something a bit weaker would add some nice variation, there's a lot of powerful stronk, archetypes already.

Some more squishy ones like:

-kobolds

-crickets/ants/centipede(because, screw you animation team)

-catfolk (household kind)

-fairy/pixie/nymph/sprite

-hobbits/pygmies/leprechauns/gnomes

-goblin/gremlin

-monkey

 

All would add some different options to the mix.

while I love the concept art of all archetypes a lot,I agree that we have about enough humans at this point

[zinnie 2,399]

Just dont do the usual mmo tropes pls.

 

No furry cat ladies, orcs, goblins,  tiny dwars etc.

Scout Archetype Confirmed

I would love to see some more variety from the normal MMO tropes as well.

 

I hope some species along the line of the Aracoix from SB will find their way into Crowfall. <3 

 

We need more love for the Birds!

 

EDIT:

 

Kobold Bards remind me so much on Deekin from Neverwinter Nights.

 

Loved that little guy, he was very well written character! ^-^

Oh no, no cat ladies. If they go cat, they must go all cat, not just cat ears.

 

Scout Archetype Confirmed

 

I see what you did there. God I loved that movie.

We need a dedicated firehose healer archetype.

 

I nominate a flying squid like creature, blue in color named Healie.

 

[bahamutkaiser 2,377]

I'd rather they reimagine existing Archetypes to reduce some of the aesthetic redundancy and increase role diversity.

 

Beside that, shouldn't this be in suggestions?

[oberon 2,473]

something necromancer

[teekey 1,075]

Most every game just has different humanoids. Having a Centaur alone is a HUGE improvement over just about any other MMO.

I guess it got moved. Someone up high clearly thinks this idea needs more visibility.

 

Post your favorite Kobolds

Dragon Quest! I love those squid things. 

 

It should do nothing but heal buff and CC. And be super annoying because it can fly. People would hate you because you'd keep getting away and smiling down at them from the sky while you buffed your friends.

It reminds me of this

[suckingdoge 204]

A kobold bard. My dear God that would be pretty damn awesome!

 

Perhaps something along the likes of snake like creatures would be pretty nice.

I always liked watching them slither into battle

That or Metal King Slimes.... Can't hit them while they do little to no damage.

 

In all seriousness though I'd love to see a dedicated crafter archetype, I would immediately rush to name him Taloon... I may or may not have a DQ/DW addiction.
