First of all: Excuse for my bad english, im not a native english speaker so i will do my best to let you understand what i want to say
Edit: Saw it now:
LANGES MESSER is "GROSS MESSER" in English
But at all: I love this game, also the MMO experience, but I also think there is something ‘going wrong’ or the Idea how the system would work could be also a little bit wrong.
So I know, in the Melee System in YO you have a dominance of the 2 handed players the scale armor players. In the MMO you have a dominance of Cavalry-Archer – which are not even possible to destroy with combined-arms.
And the last thing is: the attributes just focus on Strength, agility and constitution and Willpower and Intellect is… how I could say.. mostly useless. You just need 1-3 Guys with a bit in besieging and Intellect to shoot the walls and 1-2 guys for transporting the Stuff with willpower. But I think that’s something that’s wrong.
So… I want to ask if you think this “Idea” is nice or if this Idea is “stupid” – First of all I want to show you the ‘basic concept’ of the Idea:
As you can see, I used it that you have “2 main classes” – first the worker class, which bases on willpower, intellect and constituation. And on the other hand you have the ‘warrior class’, which is based on strength, agility and constitution.
But why?
Its really simple:
Worker – simply your “main force” of your people in your claim should be able to defend themselves and don’t need to focus on the PVP-Skill tree, but they should not be superior to a ‘main PVP-Guy’ with a “PVP-Spec”. But they need the ability to defend themselves. So I focus this tree on Willpower, Intellect and Constitution and on weapons which are normally “easy to learn”. To shoot good with a bow needs a high skill and long training, but shooting with an crossbow just need to know how to put an bolt in it, aim at a target an shoot. The same with Spears, Pikes and Stuff like maces or axes.
To fight with a two handed weapon is much more harder and to specialize in it, took very long to get ‘good’.
So lets start!
Worker Class
0 – same as militia
30 – Your Working-Equpment does 0,5% more Damage for each Point in WIllpower
60 – Hitting your Enemy can stun them for a short time
90 – to disarm – Chance to disarm your enemy when blocking with worker-Items
100 – Showing-Off
Crossbowmen
0 – You can use the Light-Crossbow
30 – You can wear light-padded armor
60 – You can use “Langes Messer”
90 – You can throw Naphta-Grenades
100 – Showing-Off
Arbalestmen
0 – You can use the Arbalest
30 – You can wear normal-padded-armor
60 – You can wear and plant the Pavise and use the “Men-Stop” Ability

100 – Showing - Off
Siege-Crossbowmen
0 – You can use the Heavy Crossbow
30 – You can use heavy-padded armor
60 – You can use two-handed maces
90 – You can build Siege-Equipment [New-Items] and use the “piercing Bolt” Ability
100 – You can wear noble-padded armor
Pikemen
The Pikemen normally was a guy who fight in a formation. But in this game they should be able to get ‘Better defense’ and also formation bonuses, which at the moment, makes them totally useless. So I want to fix this
0 – You can use Pikes
30 – You can wear Light-Infantry Plate [NEW ITEM] and use Medium-Pike
60 – You can use Long-Pikes and make a “Pikewall” with every Pike
90 – You can move slowly when you are in a pikewall (Like wearing a shield) and ignore Parrys with your Pikes
100 – Showing Off
Halberdier
0 – You can use Halberds (No Mordaxt)
30 – You can use Medium-Infantry Plate [NEW ITEM]
60 – Hitting an Enemy with your halberd, gives you a chance to hit them out of the saddle
90 – Your Stabs with the Halberd ignore Parrys
100 – Showing-Off
Captain
As I alrady said, the Pikemen is a “Group fighter” – So it will make sense to gave them abilitys to fight as a group and force them to fight in a group, also it will be the “Group-Champion” to deal with the professional-PVP Guys
0 – You can use the Bihander, Flamberge and
30 – You can wear the “Heavy-Infantry-Plate”
60 – You can use “Infantry Formations”
90 – Your Intellect gives you a 0,50% Chance for a critical strike with an halberd, your willpower gives you 1% more dmg for each point in willpower
100 – You can wear the “Noble-Infantry Plate”[NEW ITEM]
Infantry Plate? Whats this?
Its simply a new armor, based on the “playstyle” you need for the Class. But it wont give you the same bonusses and resitences like the “normal plate armor” that you know.
Example would be:
The normal Armor gives you 70% of slash resistence, the infantry plate armor only 55-60%.
Armor examples:

Infantry-Chainmail? Whats this?!
The Infantry Chainmail is like the same as the ‘normal Chainmail’ you know. But its focused on Infantry fighting. Also you will use an other Helmet and on some Places there will be metal-plates
Armor Examples:
Light Infantry-Chainmail

Just expect that the “resistences” are lower than from the normal Armor you get from “Knight” Skilltree in the standard Game
NEW CLASS
Handgunners
So, the game starts around 800 and then get straight up. Also you get Armors which are build in 1380 till 1600, also the mongols used them. So, why not adding Cannon Classes? Would be nice if well played.

Weapons:
Handcannon
The Handcannon is the primitive of all of it. You can normally run with it on your back, but when you want to use it, you first have to build it up and then you shoot. Reloading Time is about 25 Seconds.
It needs 3 Iron bars and 2 wood billets to build by the weaponsmith, also it weights 6 stones. But when you press the “Fire button” it takes about 3 seconds till the weapon shoot.
Arquebuse
The Arkebuse is some kind of the same like the Handcannon, but it gave you a faster reloading Speed. Reloading should be about 20 Seconds and its not so heavy. It just weights 5 stones
You need 2 Iron Bars and 2 Wood Billets to build it. It shot 2 seconds after you press the shoot button
Hakenbüchse
The Hakenbüchse is a german kind of Arkebuse, but its very light and you can shoot it without a needing to build it up. But to shoot you have to stand still, like in the pike formation. It took about 2 Iron bars and 1 wood billet to built it. It weiht about 3,5 stones and its reloading time is 15 seconds
Musket
The Musket is a more ‘modern’ form. You should be able to move with it while targeting something but you cant reloading it while moving. Also it does lower damage than the Hakenbüchse. It cost about 2 Iron bars, 2 wood Billet, it weight about 3 Stones and has a reloading Time of 18 Seconds.
Ammunition:
It will be build out of 1 Explosive and 100 Iron lumps which gives you 100 bullets with gunpowder
Basics about Gunpowder Weapons:
If you don’t have the full strength for the weapons, your stamina will INSTANTLY go to 0 when shooting with it, also there is a chance of 50% that your character will be falling down like being hit. Every Gunpowder Weapon has a chance of 5% that the shot will do ‘damage on yourself’ and in the 5% there should be a chance of 10% that the weapon will be destroyed. Also each Gunpowder weapon will be...bad with accuracy
Now we come to the “Warrior Class” – I have done it that way, because every ‘professional warrior’ needs to be well trained to perform. So – I took all the abilitys from the normal PVP-Skill Tree and packed them into a combination which ‘makes Sense’ and let you play different kind of specializations.
Warrior Class
The Warrior Class gives you the basics about fighting. Just like when you get disarmed you can punch them in the face! I also liked the One-Punch Man concept
0 – You can parry and punch with your fists!
30 – You can punch and parry twice as fast with you fists!
60 – Riding – You can ride a normal Horse
90 – Punch in your face! – Chance to knock the enemy down when hitting his head
100 – Disarm – Chance to disarm your enemy when blocking with your fists!
Raider
The Raider is something that will allow you to raid enemy villages and for that I write it. It’s the beginning of a ‘Class Tree’ which is for fast attacking and making much dmg on enemy players with.

Yea... thats a 'small Idea' were i was working on now for some hours. Because i think the actual gameplay got strong benefits in PVP and focus you to just "go into 1 playstyle" - which i find is sad
