As far as pushing specialization I like one of two paths: 1) Sub-classing exactly as stated by Soma. A designed experience requiring more initial dev time and vision. (S&B fighter gang would love this I'm sure) 2) Do a strong balance pass on the existing perks, add 1-2 per class, and give players the ability to transform one of their perk slots into a 'mastery' perk slot. Whatever perk you slot here gains a bonus effect or simply stronger than usual. This is more the "pick your own adventure" choice, less dev time needed to implement, but likely more ongoing work needed to balance 2 versions of each perk. I'd be equally happy with both but really just want something in this direction that isn't multi-classing.

Blue crypts best crypts. Gimme Nightmare Crypts random variant spawn. Crypts spawns with blue crypts, only nightmare variant mobs on the map and increased loot drop rates when it's on that map. Also the game woulda been exactly the same on the yellow map with the fog back then with vision being limited. They removed all fog on the game pretty much anyways. Blue crypts was way more menacing feeling of a map, but blue light is bad for the eyes so make it a random thing that shows up occasionally would be cool af

~47:00 I also think subclasses add a lot of fantasy to the game, and flavour One Cleric can be a "healer" and the other a "paladin" subclass One Warlock can be a "demonologist" an other a "torture master" One fighter can be a "slayer" and the other a "master at arms" or "champi A rouge could be a "marauder" with combat perks and another a "duelist" and ofcourse "pickpocket" It goes on, there could be several subclass features, AND perks unlocked only for a certain subclass! I see so much potential in this, and frankly it'd make class balance EASIER imo, since now not every perk introduced to the game would have to balance around interacting with every other perk in a class, since they wouldn't appear in the same subclass if they weren't meant to be used together at all

Those 2 indent slots would be perfect for the Quiver and a consumables pouch that would hold potions/bandages and maybe even campfires/surg kits/utility. You can see for yourself that every high tier player will have half if not more of the inventory be dedicated to heals/utility and when they do get a kill or god forbid 2 they have to drop the majority of the heals/utility that they brought. I think that would be a good qol change. For classes that don't carry arrows you could add something like a gem/coin/plants pouch for smaller treasures while also giving that choice to the classes with arrows to make them pick if they want more loot or more utility

I think some sort of reset on a kill would help with 3rd parties a ton. For example, maybe you can interact with the soul heart of an enemy you killed and get like 60% health and a certain amount of spells back. Or a similar system that makes reseting after a team wipe a bit quicker. They could also make it so the entire team has to be dead to get this bonus, that way, you cant reset mid fight.

I honestly think it's a good idea for Multi-Classing to push people to use their gear sooner like it's not any big news everybody holds on to everything that's juiced up towards the end and I think people shouldn't do that. I think that should change in my opinion. Events could possibly or just Multi-Classing at the end to kind of make people use their gear because holding on to really good gear, especially if you're a team and a bunch of other teams are bossing and then you have a wide range of people who don't care to do that. You're taking items away from the whole transition of loot that's recycled among a bunch of players like you have a named weapon you die. The person who picks it up takes it out, uses it. He dies. The next person picks it up Rinse repeat until somebody doesn't pick it up but it gets put into the market into people's hands and the people who boss if they don't use that gear it doesn't get put into the flow of all the items being recycled and people can miss out on ever obtaining a boss weapon

They talked a bit about quest lines and why would you finish them relating to tarkov. How could merchants affinity play a more core role? Like with weapon smith for example, you would need him to have a 25 affinity to be able to use green weapons, 50 for blue weapons and so on. I think this could really bring some stronger attention to completing quest lines instead of just getting the crafts.

Damn real. I too saw the onepeg video back then when playing tarkov. Pt1 was a bunch of tarkov players finding it. Also I too felt bard was not a good addition to the game and still to this day has completely changed the pacing of the game and continues to do so. Extremely strong class even after the extensive nerfs. Crazy that even a dev finds that additions to the game aren't the best direction. And the third partying is an issue due to the greatly increased sustain leading to a long ttk, which doesn't work in this game. Increasing heals, on top of the insane cleric heals and literal reset button with santuary and overheals. You just have a lot of fights that can last too long before more people just show up. The map and spawns being close and so easily traversed also contributes. Reducing the amount of players is just a bandaid that makes the raid feel emptier. The longer sustain (and nerfs to utilites) also makes it much harder to carry and potentially 1v3. Last, vendors are worthless for the most part. Buying and selling to them doesn't progress them like it does in tarkov. No reason to buy gear from them since why bother when you can't see the rolls when you can just go to the flea. They removed seeing the rolls bc people could just buy them and sell to the flea. When IM could have just made it so you can't sell bought items from the merchants, same with not being able to resell items bought off the flea. RMT is also still an issue due to this other selling lobby still existing.
