Re: Difficulty/frustration with playing some classes, specifically the Mez classes.Obviously, some classes are going to be more difficult to play effectively than others. However, a true newbie to MMOs might not notice this, especially since so much of the EQ2 hype/marketting talks about the equality of the classes, casual-friendly, etc.On Anarchy Online, when you go through character creation, the various classes have a brief description of what they do, followed by an idication of how hard they are to play effectively. Your standard meatshield tank is Easy, and ranges up to the Difficult mez classes.I think it would be a good idea to have something like this in EQ2 as well. Let them know that if they are wanting to play a caster, but are new to the game or the genre, that a Wizard is likely going to be a bit easier to figure out then a Coercer.I'd hate to see some new player show up, try a Coercer, get frustrated, switch to an Illusionist, get frustrated, then just say hell with it, and stop playing.--Tusk
