Here is the statment released by the dev team :

It has come to our attention that a video we made for internal purposes was leaked and is being spread around. Again, this video was for internal use only and we didn’t intend to release it publically.
We’d like to request that news sites please not post this video

Yeah right. Sounds like BS to me.

I can understand them being angry that the footage was leaked, but I also think they should be happy, because the response has been mostly positive. I hope they still show a video from the newest build.

It just sounds like some PR stunt to me.

Player Classes

All of the characters in our game share the same core combat mechanic but each has been specialized into well known fantasy genre classes such as Warriors, Wizards, and Assassins. These classes not only differentiate a character’s play style, keeping the single player fresh, but they also create key battlefield roles that player’s can assume in multiplayer matches; encouraging teamwork and cooperation.

The Wheel of Power:

Every class has a Boon and a Bane. For instance, Wizards are vulnerable to stealth and backstabs, Engineers can see those in stealth with their goggles giving the Engineer the advantage. This balancing act helps to solidify a team-oriented system designed to promote cooperation when facing multiple opponents - no one hero is superior to every opponent on the battlefield. The following diagram further illustrates the power offsets defined by classes

Warriors charge to the front lines of battle wielding powerful, two-handed axes or swords while donning protective armor capable of sustaining immense punishment. The Warrior's battle-cries fuel his rage where lesser soldiers would have been overcome by fatigue and injury. His mighty strength enables him to tear through shields and slam into enemies with concussive effects.

Races: Human, Satyrii
Weapon Set: Repeating Crossbow & Two Handed Sword

Skills

• Cry of Deadly Rage
• Shield-Breaking Blow
• Boomerang
• Shoulder Slam

Engineers supply invaluable support to their allies with additional ammunition, the repairing and construction of key objectives on the battlefield and the ability to deploy traps. The goggles these soldiers wear also enable them to see through the dark magic of Wizards and the stealth of hiding Assassins.

Races: Dwarf, Goblin
Weapon Set: Blunderbuss & Two Handed Axe

Skills

• Create Ammunition
• Place Trap
• Goggles
• Naphtha Grenade

Paladins revive fallen comrades and heal injuries while relying upon their protective shields to defend them from projectiles. Their massive flails and heavy hammers have been blessed to purify the corruption of Darkness and their ability to manage groups of enemies makes them invaluable in large encounters.

Races: Human, Satyrii
Weapon Set: Flail & Heavy Crossbow

Skills

• Light of Truth
• Heal
• Holy Armor
• Mezmerize

Assassins may vanish into their surroundings and perform swift kills from behind. Their trusty grappling hook enables them to reach vantages perfect for their long-range sniping attacks. Coating their blades with a Mana-draining toxin, even the most powerful of Wizards have reason to fear Assassins.

Races: Dark Elf, Wood Elf
Weapon Set: Long Bow & Twin Daggers

Skills

• Grappling Hook
• Poison Gas Bomb
• Stealth
• Spellbane Thistle Poison

Wizards wield the awesome powers of the arcane to channel deadly spells that may deluge an open field with piercing shards of ice, immolate foes in torrents of flames, enshroud their surroundings in an unnatural darkness or shock enemies in an array of surging energies. The Wizard's powerful staves focus elemental rage upon large groups but require the expenditure of precious Mana with every spell cast.

Races: Human
Weapon Set: Fire Staff, Ice Staff, or Dark Staff

Skills

• Deflection Sphere
• Gust of Wind
• Veil of Darkness
• Enchant Weapon

Mounts

Bestial Mounts in our game will be utilized as vehicles, serving both transport and combat roles. We seek to create a dynamic between mounted and infantry players in a way similar to the Battlefield™ games but we will expand on this interaction by treating the mounts as intelligent creatures, giving them allegiance to their controlling faction and allowing them to emote pain, fear, and rage in combat.

Siege Troll

Siege Trolls will be the "tanks" in our game. Thick-skinned and largely resistant to infantry attacks, Siege Trolls will dominate infantry engagements, destroy villages, and tear down castle gates.

Razorback

The Boar mount can be thought of as an Armored Personel Carrier (APC). It is a four passenger, medium speed gunning platform with a powerful trample attack and at least half cover for all of its occupants. The driver will primarily be responsible for driving the beast, executing it's trample/goring attacks, and providing a stable platform for his gunners. Two of the passengers will have gunning positions with repeating heavy crossbows and a third passenger will occupy the upper basket, utilizing their ranged weapons and class abilities.

Battle Lizard

The Battle Lizard will be a fast attack beast and will provide a more traditional, single person mount for our players. It will be nimble and allow riders to use their ranged and melee weapons, class abilities, and the Lizard’s powerful bite attack while mounted.
