Greetings, brave explorers of Nanraas!
Around a week ago we released the first large content patch that featured continuation of the main story and concluded Act I for all three possible classes of the main character. Thus, time has come to turn the next page of Azaries epic adventures and start working on the Act II!
However, life is never a bowl of cherries, and despite were trying to do our best to speed up the development process and bring you the top-notch exciting content as soon as possible, we clearly realize that we, unfortunately, cant compete with larger studious. After carefully analyzing the situation, weve come to the conclusion that due to limited resources, psychological and physical pressure in the conditions of the warfare, and other certain real-life issues (for example, long-lasting blackouts and air raid alerts), simultaneous development of equally interesting, exciting and engaging class-exclusive stories will be utterly difficult and outmost hard-to-realize endeavor. We dont want to make empty promises and then constantly apologize for every single delay and relatively small portions of content that took too long to develop and deliver.
Thus, were offering you a different approach: instead of adding small bits of the main story and corresponding quests/encounters every 4-6 month for all three classes simultaneously, were planning on focusing our efforts on developing one class-exclusive route at a time. It will allow us to bring you a whole Act II portion of the game for a single class at a time with completed main story, corresponding side stories, exclusive encounters and much more! Moreover, its up to you to decide on which class is going to get the next major update! Once the Act II is concluded for the chosen class, the next poll will be rolled out to choose the next development priority and so on.
Worry not! Despite having similar core of the main story, all three classes will get their exclusive content based on Azaries decisions, karma, relationships with her companions and characters met, worldview and the playstyle of the gamer behind the curtains.
You can participate in the poll by vising the corresponding pages of our social media, and on Discord!
Before you make your decision
Most of our players are aware of the differences between Azaries classes, but wed like to remind you of some of them, including exclusive events, side storylines and certain unique characters/setups.
Sarantales
After the event of the Prologue, Azaries decided to develop the strength of her body as well as obtain some new knowledge essential to her future profession. The Way of Balance requires significant physical and mental resilience and efforts to achieve harmony, which is considered the true mastery of the sarantales. Master Nandaar had some doubts regarding the true motives, purity and capabilities of the young neophyte, but he appreciated the strength of her spirit and will, thus he gave her a chance to prove herself. Azaries managed to complete the trial and departed to the Sarantales HQ to become a full-fledged member of the organization. Azaries is about to face many challenges on the way to her dream, and one of them is the current condition of the sarantales itself. You will help Azaries to face and deal with the crisis and corruption within the organization she considered a true paragon. She will have to prove that she is worthy to become one of the glorious defenders of peace and prosperity of Nanraas, or even become their leader! This balanced class is known for its resilience and large amount of HP. Sarantaleses usually show great patience and dedication on the battlefield, exploit weakness of their enemies and use mid-power forces of nature type AoE attacks.
Aegisologist (Aegis Scholar)
Thanks to her unmatched intelligence and unquenchable thirst for knowledge, Azaries bested all her classmates and even teachers in no time and quickly became one of the smartest and most promising students in High Circles. Scientific approach and zeal for endless research of the world around greatly impacted her personality and shaped the dream of her life to enter the university of Malaander the best residence of knowledge and power of the city of Ahret. However, her mentor Ahnelle and her secrets might ruin Azaries plans and even endanger her life. Since its next to impossible to enter the university without a recommendation signed by a vivid scholar, Azaries must unveil the mysteries of the past and solve a dangerous puzzle of intrigues and vanity Or leave it as it is, for her own sake You will help Azaries to find out more about Ahnelles past and clear her good name, as well as to investigate the mysteries of the Mortenian Incident and find the mastermind behind it! This support class rarely engages enemies directly due to lack of physical strength and resilience, but it exploits the miraculous abilities granted by the Emderat an ancient artifact given to Azaries by her mentor Ahnelle that helps the Aegis scholar not only boost the attacks of her allies and apply effects that help her control the battlefield, but also use powerful psio-abilities.
Nental
The events of Azaries childhood taught her one important thing: might makes right, and if not than you are not strong enough. Due to constantly being bullied, she learned to protect herself. Since teenling cant fight older omveri on equal terms, she created her own combat style based on her agility, dexterity and exploiting the objects of the world around. When she met an old nental agent Antran Ilmerid, he perfected her combat abilities by opening the secrets of the rilsa attacks, which were designed specifically for fighting omveri foes. Her training and endless brawls with local goons, thugs and bullies made her realize that she was capable of becoming a full-fledged nental agent. Once she gained some valuable experience, Azaries joined the city guards of her native town. However, due to the legendary mask of Urmon Dars has been stolen by an unidentified thief, new recruits are temporary not allowed to join the nental. Azaries must find the artifact that belonged to the founder of the nental and unveil the mysteries behind the theft. This aggressive damage dealer class features relatively low HP but extremely powerful offensive skills and abilities. Azaries-nental deals multiple precise attacks that form combos and debuff her foes*. -------
Each class has its own pros and cons, as well as an exclusive exciting story to tell, so were looking forward to seeing the results of the poll! Its up to you to choose and decide! Poll will be opened for 5 days (from 16.09.24 to 20.09.24). On Saturday, 21.09.24, we will publish the roadmap of future updates based on the results of the poll. Discord server Twitter [url=https://t.me/heralds_of_the_avirentes_ukraine]Telegram Thank you very much! See you in Nanraas! *This mechanic has been partially implemented into the game, but it still requires testing and feedback. New combos and debuffs will be added at a later date.
