It would be pretty sick if there were charms that morphed your character into a different class. For example: If you love the look of Amazons but are tired of playing the same amazon builds over and over again, you could farm for an Amazon morph cycle/charm and put it on a barb or something. I'm aware that some sprites wouldn't work but I'm sure most people wouldn't care very much. I just hate the way most classes look and want versatility to go along with the aesthetic.

But why would you want your barb to look like an amazon? Kinda takes away from the class's lore

Not to take any sides at all, since I wouldn't care either way;

I would definitely replace the Druid sprite with another class sprite> I think Druid looks kinda terrible.

I'm pretty sure Median XL in general takes away from most classes' lore. I just think it would be cool to switch it up. There are already sorceress morphs from rune words, etc..

I mean, going by the lore meant an entire passive skill tree for barb and paladin being an aura bot with combat skills crammed all into one tree

My point is that the skill trees generally fit the class that uses them. Some items give morphs, which is a neat addition, but that's different than just saying, "hey, I want my assassin to be beefy as shit like a barb just because"

It doesn't make sense. A giant barbarian being a stealthy silent killer, ya know? Shrug.

Yeah, don't really see the point of character morphs just to change looks. A Barb can shave his legs, dye his ponytail, and stuff a couple cantaloupes in his tunic, but it still won't make him an Amazon.

I'd much rather see some Uber mechanics get revamped (J-Day, Arihan, Uldy--in fact, all Purify Ubers), depending on the capabilities of the Sigma core and the dev team's inclination, ofc. Not really a fan of the whole "stand around a wait 5 minutes before you can do something" concept. I mean, I get it, but it doesn't make these fights any less boring. When I first started, I thought Purify was a debuff, like a D&D/NWN-style Spell Breach, that stripped an enemy of it's invulnerability shield for a short time so you could attack it. Personally, I'd prefer that to the way Purify is now.

tbh, I couldn't care less about characters morphing into others. The Creep staff has that sorc morph for a reason: Sorcs have a casting speed due to the lower framrate when casting with staffs. Hence this staff equals the casting speed out for every class (if you can afford it).

Other character models have different breakpoints and having the opportunity to give every character the possibility to get the character model with the lowest framrate would greatly deny the diversity of characters.

I don't like that idea. If you want to have an amazon, just level one up.

Would be nice is Flayer Dungeon lvl3 was set to a single room. Don't understand why it's a secluded windy path with a bunch of dead ends, or the random and pointless frozen orb slowing you down for 5 seconds while walking there.

I myself am a grinder. I love farming a lot and continously improving in speed, time and items more and more to reach a full potential on a char. As far as I noticed while grinding for certain items in the last months is that rarity of certain items is a bit faulty. To be more precise, those emblems which are considered to be a global very rare drop are actually droping more often then other SUs, for example naginatas, amulets, rings and jewels. Maybe am increased rarity would be ok. After all the upgraded version of the glorious book of median shouldn't be very easy :D. Regarding the old reverted places (flayer dungeon, pit of acheron etc.) they would probably consist of new ubers or uber dungeons in the future patches...
