The Thief Class is missing

Class and Rank

I mean, really.
And i’m not talking about “it was in RO so it must be added to that game”. It’s just in EVERY RPG.
This is in that kind of game spirit. It’s the essence, you need the archetype of guys with mainly 2 weapons, that deal insane damages whereas they are weak as a baby bunny.

It seems really incomplete without that. We have tons of classes, a lot of them have no charmisma, so you might think they can almost build up something to fit some holes sometimes.
But there is a huge hole that no one seems to care, where are the rogues?

Because no, i won’t play an archer for hundred levels to have a fake copycat with the name of “rogue”. Becase it’s not.
A true “rogue” can use a bow instead of his melee weapons if he has to. But definitely not the other way around, that’s an insult.

And there are so many things we can imagine to build this archetype, so many classes.
We already have the Corsair and this “rogue” who belong to that. That’s what we are.

I’m a rogue players since almost 2 decades in various RPG. It’s, for me, a shame that ToS just say “lol, nope.”

Anyway, i’m really sad.
I can forgive the moutain of bugs, lack of features, bad gameplay, non balanced classes and all…
But, no thief? Nah, it’s a shame.
To me, it’s almost as stupid as a game without one of the other “great” archetype.
No one would play an RPG without warriors or mages. That’d be silly right? Same for the rogues.

didn’t corsairs have a steal ability at one point?
also i’m confused, you titled thief but you’re going on about rogues ???

you could always try rolling a rogue and playing with the skill sim to try to get something similar to whatever it is you are looking for, remember it is beta and not a complete product so you shouldn’t treat it like this is what we’re getting.
you should also elaborate on what sort of things a rogue should do with your 2 decades of experience and shed light on what imc may have missed out upon, maybe they’ll do something that will suprise you

I always disliked and hated the rogue class type in MMOs and found it to be the favorite of immature kids and naruto fans so I’m happy that it’s not in the game.

Sucks to be you I guess.

I can’t have my electricity-based class (no, Elementalist does not count), but I’m not complaining about it and going about how I’ve played it for decades or anything. Not all games have all classes, so you find something you like in the list of classes they DO provide you with. I bet you’d love Fencer/Corsair for example.

Thief/Rogue is nowhere on the same level as the holy trinity (Warrior, Mage, Cleric). The 4th class after those three is almost always Archer. And a lot of games, just like ToS, incorporate Thief/Rogue into an Archer subclass.

I’m basically on the same boat, i love playing thief archetypes, so i tried to go for rogue, but playing archer for that long just to get to the class i want is just something i’m not motivated to do. I’m trying to go for corsair now as i find melee classes more enjoyable in general, hopefully I get there. I would love a dedicated tree for thiefs, I feel i would enjoy the game more. I still love the game in general, so if we don’t get a thief tree I think I’ll be able to live without it.

Theres still a chance we get similiar things like a thief,for example fencer,also theres the shinobi on the way.
Maybe we get a samurai class or something like that in the near future.
But well i got the same problem,it sucks that there is no real “thief” class ingame.

#9

The game already has bots. So, you guys want to see the “Rogue + Bot = Profit” combo again that bad…?

(WHY HUMANITY KEEP ASKING TO BE DUMB.)

#10

If shinobi falls under swordsman then I don’t know what to say…

#11

Lets cry for everyclass missing guys.:sob:
First option Second option Third option Quarter option

#12

we have no naruto, but we have 50,000 kirito

#13

I don’t see how this is relevant at all, bots will exist no matter the class lol

#14

In the end, it’s everything about numbers.

#15

You people know that there will be quite a lot of new classes right?

#16

Ro already represents a basis for where theif/rogue/assasin path can go even a pirate could fit in the tree, also if you dont like the class prove yourself against it you should be motivated upon challenge :fist:

#17

There should be one kind of melee dps early game, since it is one of those archetypes. And it was kinda loved back in the day in some old game. It may draw more people in :smile:
And daggers should be more common weapons that could be used as main weaps.

#18

Logically, thief class shouldn’t even exist because thief can be basically anything… heck you can even call those market scammers and politicians as a thief if you want.

#19

If it was in every RPG, doesn’t mean that it has to be in this game. Like what, just because they have rogue improves the popularity point? To be honest, if thief were implemented here, you can probably see most of the population be thieves, or better yet, assassin. Glad that you are disappointed in this game but I’m pretty sure the game doesn’t gives a damn what you think. Then again, you may as well play the ‘Every RPG’ if this one doesn’t suits to your liking instead of bringing your ideology here. But hey, this is a ‘stupid’ game right. Why bother?

Thief class is kind of hidden inside archer class.
