I feel like a kid wondering what day Christmas will be this week.

I try not to keep a time clock show New Zealand / Australia day and time on my desktop. It’s almost Monday morning!

Will one be able to browse all the classes before we decide which to pick?

Probably not, but that shouldn’t matter too much. Whenever a new one is unlocked the timer for choosing one is reset. There will also likely be someone within the first 24 hours who will make a guide on it then add the info to the wiki.

if you dont unlock them, you will be able to browse them… at least since it is additional story line stuff.

If Part 1 is about Hero Class, I wonder what Part 2 will discuss? Guild Chat?  
I thought guild buff won’t be coming until 2.0?

My guess is that it will be about the guild chat and the new task system for masteries.

> As to the idea of having to reset your deck every time you switch, that’s why there are so many team slots. You have your 3 favorite warlord ones, then a few sorcerer ones etc.

Don’t forget that it’s not just picking the class, it’s also picking the perk. That’s 21 different ways to set up a team containing a hero. 20 slots suddenly don’t sound like that much any longer.

Maybe there should be 20 additional class-bound slot for each class. They always contain the hero. You only get to see those slots belonging to the currently selected class. So if you change your class the 20 slots for that class get swapped in, if you change back the previously maintained slots are back. Doesn’t help for perk picking though.

I seem to recall the preview claiming that the hero is supposed to become even more powerful than Legendary troops. I might be mistaken though, I’d have to watch it again. But even if it’s just a small advantage, why settle for an inferior team composition? If I wanted to play with a weaker than possible hero I could just equip those common weapons you get a low levels. 😉

Or just unlock the class for switching purposes once you master it. Maybe after obtaining the Mythic class weapon, takes 500 fights.

something like this is what I think you mean.

> Yes - should have clarified that in the video actually. A maxed out hero will be in line with (or slightly better than) a maxed out Legendary in 109. Actually that statement needs some context, because Legendary stats ALSO are getting a buff to make sure they’re better than commons, rares, ultras. epics at 20… we’ve generally redistributed points so that base-rarity means something now.

Assuming they wait a full week, part 2 will be tomorrow morning. About 21 hours from the time of this post.

But who’s counting…
