Engineer - as the class presents themselves - feels very Karaten-y and that's where all their stuff originates, pretty much. How did all the robots and turrets come to Korvara? Magic may come from many sorts of places, but you don't suddenly progress to having all of that cool stuff out of nowhere. And Korvara lives in a - for the lack of a better word - different 'world'. It's very hard to have a picture of floating medical bots tending to your needs when you came from a place that has no concept of these things. Invocation and all of that Evoker stuff, maybe - but robots?
It wouldn't come out of nowhere. It would come from years of works and studying the focus to make progress on technology.
Eventually they would have **made up** those robots.
That's what Karaten did. They had no one previous of them having such technology. They had to made it up. To create it. It didn't came out of nowhere for Karaten as well, it came from their work.
Korvara doesn't know anything about the great six but that doesn't stop them to progress as well. Espcially when the website for Korvara state that they barely have anything late on their knowledge and development
Quote:On the matter of Kensei, yes. It's a class about mastering the art of swordfighting, except with an emphasis on katana - it's literally the theme. I don't think rapiers, sabres, and what have you - needs you to have a promotion class or anything to use them. There's a reason that despite many swords sharing similarities with katana, you're hard-pressed to find them used the way that those guys in Oniga do. Sword fighting is a very diverse thing and people are going to fight with swords their own way.
While i do agree it is mainly thought for Katana lore wise.
We need to realize that there aren't much class going for the sake of other swordfighting style.
Demon hunter being more of a crazy dante wannabe style
And black knight being large weapon, hit hard, take hard.
(other option would be ghost, but that's arguable)
as for the rest, it is the same as engineer.
Oniga eventually had to came out with this. Creating it themselves with no priors civilisation having such style.
Korvara don't know the great six, but they don't have to wait for any people coming from a land they don't know about to come out with style close to the kensei.
Then it comes to the same for boxer, black knight, monk, etc...
The origins of such style had to be created and discovered at some point without priors civilisation to knew about it before.
If people in the great six were able to come up with those and make it a thing, then the chance of happening in Korvana are equal.
IT'S JUST LIKE THE RACES AND SO ONE POINT I CAN AGREE WITH
Quote:Korvara lives in a - for the lack of a better word - different 'world'.
It's totally true.
Korvara has no idea of the great six.
They don't belives in the same gods.
But the rule of the world stay the same.
Souls goes to Lazarus, either they believe or not of Lazarus.
Focus energy is still around and emitted by living forms.
There's still lava unfer the grounds
There's still water forming the oceans.
They eventually live on the same "laws" of the world of the great six.
Now, i know that isn't what you meant.
But, here the thing.
People dying, lava, ocean, focus.
Those are all matters which has a lore attached to them discovered by research and beliefs made by the people of the great six.
Those lore attached to those concept. Are going to be different in Korvana.
There's NO WAY that Korvana, discovering lava, will say "Ah yes it's from Nayrif."
They don't know who Nayrif is.
They going to be more likely make a more scientific approach on explaining presence of lava if they don't believe in any gods. (we don't know that yet tho'. We just know they don't know of the great six gods and certainly not the gods grave.)
When there will be a redtail walking on Korvana.
They won't be saying "It's a race deity of the golden thief". Just as Nairyf, they don't know who is that golden thief.
They will have an another approach and beliefs on why redtails is a thing.
and so it comes to the same for classes.
Every lore you have learn so far. Would be the gods, the classes, the races and different aspect of the world.
Needs to be discarded. Cause Korvana has no idea of all of this.
But that doesn't stop them to come up with class similar to those of the great six.
The only thing changing, is the lore behind
In the great six context. Black knight use the black wind to help themself fight. Using those power to protect their people. They are seen as chevalresque and with honor. Even if they can be scary.
In Korvana context. It will be different.
(Of course am not dev. And i don't participate to the progress of the update. So i'm mostly theorizing.)
The black wind may be seen as CURSED. Rare people use it cause it is hated by Korvana's people. Making it illegal to use it. And so the only people using are people who wished to be stronger even if it would be using taboo art.
It is scary and forbidden, not neccesseraly because it is life threattening for yourself but simply because it is too strong and powerfull to be reasonably used.
All this, without having any idea what the black knight are.
Quote: maybe they'll have a different name for Ki
And yeah. They could totally have a different name for Ki.
Because in Korvana, Monk class wouldn't be linked to the great six lore anymore.
It would be link to Korvana lore.
Engineer should have its own Korvana lore.
Kensei should have its own Koravana lore.
Runemage should have their own Korvana lore.
etc... etc...
