The comment says "batllepass" instead of "battlepass"
Ipsos is literally known for refusing to pay out. They’re just as much 2-bit scammers as every other survey app.
First y’all do an undisclosed sponsored puff piece for OW2 (which is illegal in US and AU) and Blizzard, now you’re promoting scammers. Really gutted to see you guys stoop to this level, I put a not insignificant amount of money into making sure that you guys could afford to continue doing news and you repay the community by assisting in scamming them and taking under-the-table money to do puff pieces for predatory games.
@@PoshBeard How do you know they got money from Blizzard?
@@zockertwins it’s pretty bloody obvious when you think about it
Ive given up on speccing into anything im speccing into NEET subclass.
Lowering the INT for journalists was a terrible move, thankfully Sir Swag still practices the pre-patch meta
lol
What's int
Intelligence.@@drtrollguy
I'd argue that high INT Journalist builds are falling out of favor because they tend to interfere with the corruption quest line of politicians and the endgame strats of criminals, leading them to get killed
Low INT Journos go for safer quests since they don't have their Guts stat high enough to do real journalism
@@Flamme-Sanabi very telling
it should be noted that the end game military class requires a completely opposite stat distribution then late early game military class.
Hell there are so many military subclasses that there are plenty of entry-level subclasses with a very different starting stat distribution. If they actually want recommendations for classes to delve into, the military subclasses would be a great choice because there would be a lot of unique spreads and builds most people probably don't realize even exist.
@@ZeStreD buff LDO'S
Very true!
Also should be noted that a lot of military classes are just reskinned versions of other classes. Such as the officer class being basically a hybrid between the politics and business class, the military pilot class is also just the logistics pilot with slightly higher skill requirements.
Also note that end game military classes tend to veer towards the politics classes.
The part about how the tech class and the business class pair well together because each thinks that they're ripping the other off is so accurate it hurts
ah, equilibrium
But really they are both ripping off the hyper specialised builds.
Tech class is heading into mid to late game for a lot of people now (since it’s one of the newer classes), and they are adopting the business sub-class; which effectively removes the need for early game business classes - essentially I feel like in the future the business class will become sub-class to every other class
Maining high-tier stats for the business class might lose you the often underrated Dignity perk
And the No Regrets achievement
That is what min-maxing gets you
All good, just subscribe to a religion and pretend you have it again.
At least you can make crime class actually viable in the endgame.
The dignity perk is a red herring coveted by low tier player. Anyone worth their salt knows the benefits far exceed the risk
It's worth noting if you spec into Tech class hard enough, you gain a passive aura called "It only stops working when you leave the room, I swear!" because even the technology understands and respects your prowess at that level. At this point I just use the necromancy of walking around the building and making eye contact with everything that has an electrical pulse, and nothing breaks down, best part is I'm being paid to just walk around and just have my passive aura do all the work, very rarely I am asked questions because they know my affairs are not worldly mortal affairs.
I shall aim to acquire it and succeed beyond the meta.
the soul of the machine god surrounds thee
Specialized classes for tech includes. Cyber security, Help Desk, Networking, Electronics, Server manager, programmer. Each with their own spells and play style. I really recommend this class as it's good pay after you complete each subclass tutorials.
Weakest adept of the Omnissiah be like:
You should spec into “dummy proofing”
I miss the pirate class pre nerfs but atleast now it’s been turned into a optional set of abilities any class can spec into
The pirate class is still available on the Somalia server because they haven't yet caught up with the latest patch releases if you're looking to give that playstyle a go
@@rootintootinputin5898 no they dont exist anymore becouse of international efforts to stop them but no the problem that coused them in the first plaace.
there are still ships coming from other countries stealing fish and dumping toxic waste at the shores of somalia :(
@@rootintootinputin5898the U.S. players are still around there hunting the pirates, it makes a difficult time to be a pirate
As i heard that class is very popular on Somalian servers
@@user-et1cg7dv8rNah that news is sadly out of date, but there's still a few pirate mains on the Indonesian servers.
The engineer class is a high risk high reward class to spec into. Not the most fun playstyle I must admit, but it's worth it
It's only high risk if you specialize into a subclass outside of Mechanical or Electrical Engineering. As they have their own ability trees that often overlaps with other engineering subclass buffs, though as jack of all trades builds it does give you a lower ceiling than the other subclasses.
Trust me i'm an engineer!
Really surprised Swag didn’t mention the Engineer class, cause I swear there are heaps of engineers in his fanbase.
Look buddy, I'm an engineer.
I put all of my time into the Mechatronic Engineering subclass (Semi- Jack of all Trades) and now I am a successful Control Engineer
No regrets
1: watch the other players descend into depression and anxiety over the past couple of patches
2: spec into clinical psychologist subclass
3: win
I'm actually doing that😂
Me lowkey, think about how in recent patches, theyve been buffing the player bases self awareness passive. Going into some sort of therapy based subclass will not only be beneficial with the new passive updates but needed since the passive takes away from your mental health points
I’m spending some time grinding the Paramedic class to eventually transfer some points into the Medical skilltree. Hopefully this fulfils the alternate prerequisites to unlock the the Doctor class.
Psychologists were already covered on 12:14 tho
@@victordeluca7360 lol, true. I do my best to psychologically fuck up people in my day to day, so I or one of my cronies can treat them later
the education class could really use some buffs and maybe a small rework
yes, but it isn't going to happening in a hot fix, as the devs are planning to rework it significantly in the planned AI awakening patch
This would indirectly buff every other class
Really needs a rework, currently designed to create factory workers but we’re well beyond that
Eh, it’s a starter class, who cares
A huge revamp is needed.
it should be added that the military class playstyle is highly dependent on you spawn location, this can aslo effect some of the abilities like not paying tax since some locations require it even from people serving under the local leadership
important patch notes here
Also it may limit your acess to certain items. Do remember however that enemies may drop items and any player with the "arms dealer" perk can supply weapons you may otherwise not have acess to.
And not just spawn location, much like trades there are many subclasses that offsets your base stats.
This class is amazing early game build that makes attaining any other class much easier. Builds up your core foundation
Military class is heavily RNG reliant. Using it for a short stint at the beginning of your play through for the early game benefits typically yields the best risk/reward ratio.
This is why i stay up all night playing Starfield, so I can watch the IRL patch notes before falling asleep as the sun rises.
Almost made it. Pissed my wife off at 2am and had to go to bed XD🎉
@@jakewebb7995 Found a bug that lets me own and sell a fucking Space Station
Started out as a tech build, took ranks in education and poltics for some reason, ended up with a weird multiclass build minmaxed for a bunch of specialized taks
"Right To Repair Litigator."
Trades class might be up your alley, allows you to build on all your stats and get a work out. Feels fulfilling by the end of the day if you’re the type to hate doing the same thing over and over
Min-maxing Military-Tech builds is highly viable, especially when playing on European servers.
I also heard about leaked weapons, gear, and vehicles for the Military tech tree, via the leaked WWIII world event. the M7 might be the new rifle meta, for its ability to penetrate body armor compared to the M4A1, and so is the MG-338.
Ironically I’m thinking about wanting the military tech build. As I have a degree and masters in CS and cyber security I hope my proficiency’s and passives gained from my certificates help propel me into this role I am looking to apply for later this year 😊
@@makeytgreatagain6256its a great time to get in the US Server because of the recruiting crisis, however the politician Mains have put some regulation and agendas in place which force some members to debuff or change playstyles entirely
good luck player!@@makeytgreatagain6256
I went into the mechanic sub class early, I got lucky because my grandfather was able to get me into that sub class by dropping his old gear. I technically didn't go through the mechanic class tutorial, but so far, it's good
Nepotism buff do be real.
You gotta thank your grandfather for spending points unlocking his nepotism perk
Spent plenty of gold on education tutorials for the trade class, paid off I think since I'm raking in quite a bit of gold these days. Mechanic subclass is held back by how much you have to grind for gear.
@@tomasgoes Good ol' referral codes will get you places
New Game ++
As a creative main speccing into the writer subclass, I highly suggest putting points into a different class- such as logistics or business- as the ability to succeed in the creative class is highly centered around the hidden "luck" mechanic.
The Entertainment class as a whole has been very RNG-dependent since the very start of the Game.
@@somethingforsenro not to mention the nepotism perk instantly makes the entire class feel even more luck based rather than skill based.
I’m ready to reset my character if the game keeps rejecting my mechanic-electrical subclass after completing the tutorials.
@@somethingforsenrothat's what the failed ones say. It's actually completely skillbased, however you are competing for limited player slots and dealing with the nepotism bug
There isn't a nepotism perk for writers, I think you're actually referring to the screen writer class as most players in the theatrical field have "access" to the nepotism perk based on rng.
There's also the most broken mechanic in the game, especially on the North American server: High tier players switching between the 2 most powerful classes - Business and Politics Class, and maximising the use of the lobbying perk. So broken it's literally destroying the whole game.
FYI I think there's a couple of weird obscure and absolutely horribly balanced paths on the biotech and AI skill trees that are going to completely ruin the meta soon unless they get patched
the AI skill tree has the potential to be OP
yeah, they seem like a hard counter to the creative arts classes
Could potentially really good for budding art mains who forgot to max out creativity
@@ironCondor623 I hear some of those biotech guys are trying to give the main server a huge rollback too
@@ironCondor623
it's debatable as of yet, I think it's just new patch jitters. we're discovering some pretty heavy softcaps on the new content, and there's been at least one incident over it already from a major American server Actor faction.
I'm glad I took the electrician apprenticeship quest at level 18, trade type jobs are massively going up in income due to the massive amount of trade players that moved on to the endgame during the COVID event.
I am considering to invest skill points into the trade class, is this meta viable only in the North American servers or is the buff active across all servers?
I’m currently building a competitive swimmer build but I’m not sure if it’s viable. Should I reset and pick the the Trade class?
@@variantgamer9885 You can likely walk into your local electrician's guild(actual real life term, not a gane joke) and walk out with at least 6 offers for a paid apprenticeship with zero prerequisites to take the quest. After that it'll be a bit of work, getting dirty, and only getting paid okay as opposed to amazing. I was able to buy a small house at level 22 during the COVID event by being smart with my money, but it might not be for you. City zones require an absurd income stat to accomplish that, so you might want to move to a different zone if you happen to live in one.
@@ajtalkitive4884 In the Perma-death hardcore Australian servers, the trades classes are basically endgame by default. Just need to be careful regarding the permanent "vices" de-buffs that can be incurred by stress as that will massively decrease the profitability of the classes
@@isaacchapman7628 Thx for the advice. Couldn’t see it because CZcams decided to shadow ban your reply. Weird
This funny video is building my confidence to get back into the workspace and for that I am truly thankful as depression almost took me this month.
You'll get there! The depression storyline is a difficult one to complete but the completion reward of a major increase in the fortitude stat is worth not giving up on
On the plus side, the depression debuff allows lower level players to use the neet exploit on their generous tutorial benefactors
If you struggle with the depression debuff, I recommend doing the Bible side quest to level up your spirituality skill tree.
I’m a tech main so I would much rather not debuff my intelligence by going down the religion quest
@@KillerXtremeRoblox I see your point, though throughout the gameplay of the human class, players who specced into the religion class made the science class meta. You should definitely look into it, pretty neat lore.
This is a good overview but it's mostly relevant to the U.S.A server. I know that in various European servers the business class has much fewer abilities built in to adjust the market compared to their American counterparts. Additionally, I have heard of certain areas of the U.S.A server that are removing the intelligence requirement for the teacher class thereby nerfing the tutorial experience for newer players.
Tell me you haven't played on american servers without telling me
We can say the same about the Indian servers. As businesses main directly control the politics class here and the special Crime skill tree requirement for politics class also makes it impossible for other classes to compete unless they've the immoral and violence buff. Religion and Caste starting perks also dominates the server here.
Video on the mercenary subclass of the military would be cool and how the play style has changed since the Soviet Collapse Update.
That would be an interesting retrospective video of the patches since patch_v.1991.
I'll never forget during the "special raiding operation of the Ukraine server" when Xx_Yevgot_Pringles_xX asked for an "ammo" drop from the moderators of his server.
the mercenary subclass, or as it's called in-game, contractor, is the modern version of the mercenary subclass. While similar in some respects, sharing perks and skills, Contractor's gameplay loop is substantially different.
Before season 18, and even a little while after, the Mercenary class was much more combat focused. Entire groups of Mercenary mains would operate their own factions and in some cases dipped into Politics as they became more institutional.
Contractors on the other hand can be anything have their biggest subclass in Private Security. This subclass varies heavily depending on what faction you join and how deep you are.
At the end of the tech tree you see a lot of overlap with the Infantry class, such as Advanced Training - Firearms and Advanced Access - Armor, alongside it's pvp focus, but it also tends to overlap with the Police Officer subclass.
You seem to have forgotten the Academician subclass, which just like the Teacher subclass, is a pure intelligence build, but requires a longer wait time and gives some very intriguing perks. Truly one of my favourite end-game builds.
He lumps it in with education, which is fair
Courtesy of ChatGPT: Academician Class
The Academician Class, much like the Business Class, has been steadily evolving and adapting in recent patches. It attracts a diverse player base looking to maximize their knowledge and intellectual prowess. This class boasts lower entry requirements compared to some other advanced classes, making it an attractive choice for those who value the pursuit of wisdom over monetary gain. To spec into the Academician Class, players need moderate stats in Intelligence and Curiosity, coupled with a strong Fortitude to withstand the rigorous academic challenges.
As players progress through the Academician Class, the accumulation of knowledge often outpaces other high-skill classes, offering an unparalleled intellectual satisfaction. Furthermore, this class offers access to a range of powerful late-game perks, such as Research Grants, which provide additional resources for exploring new fields, and Tenure, which offers job security and reduced penalties for academic blunders.
The Academician Class is currently positioned in the highest tier, and it shows no signs of losing its prestige anytime soon. Players who embark on this scholarly path can expect to embark on a lifelong journey of intellectual discovery and innovation.
Arts and Humanities
Within the Academician Class, the Arts and Humanities subcategories have experienced significant shifts in popularity and specialization in recent updates. Traditional academic pursuits, such as Literature and Philosophy, continue to attract devoted players. However, newer subcategories, like Digital Humanities and Cultural Studies, have gained momentum as the game world evolves.
One noteworthy change is the recent inclusion of the Creative Writing subclass under the Arts and Humanities category. This move was accompanied by a substantial reduction in stat requirements across the board, making it more accessible to aspiring writers. Success in the Arts and Humanities typically demands high levels of Creativity and Critical Thinking. However, players can offset these demands by networking and building connections, which provides a Networking Buff that aids in career progression.
Despite the allure of the Arts and Humanities, players should be aware of limited opportunities for high-tier positions. This often leads to lower than average income stats for those who pursue these paths. In response to player feedback, the Developers introduced the Public Intellectual subclass, which eliminates the need for high Creativity and Critical Thinking stats, offering an alternative path for players seeking to contribute to the intellectual landscape.
Science and Technology
Next up, we delve into the Science and Technology specialization within the Academician Class. This category has witnessed remarkable growth in popularity, akin to the Tech Class in the business world. High Intelligence builds have become meta, and all Science and Technology subclasses require substantial investment in this stat.
The Developer's vision for these new builds, such as Data Scientists, Genetic Researchers, and Quantum Physicists, mirrors the ethos of old wizard builds. Players in these roles often find themselves grappling with enigmatic challenges and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Collaboration with players from the Business Class is common, as both groups tend to believe they are mutually benefiting from their partnerships.
While players should prioritize Intelligence, a dash of Creativity never goes amiss in the Science and Technology Class. It aids in solving intricate problems that often make up a significant portion of the gameplay loop. The allure of exploring uncharted territories and solving complex conundrums keeps Tech Mains engaged in a perpetual quest for understanding.
Social Sciences and Policy
Another prominent branch within the Academician Class is the Social Sciences and Policy category. This class appeals to those who aspire to understand and influence the social dynamics and policies that shape the game world. Players interested in this class typically need a blend of Empathy, Analytical Thinking, and Diplomacy.
The Social Sciences and Policy Class offers a unique set of perks, including Research Grants for conducting impactful studies and Lobbying, which allows players to advocate for changes in the in-game rules and regulations. Additionally, the class includes the Public Intellectual subclass, which significantly reduces the requirements for entry, catering to a wider range of players.
Currently, the Academician Class remains one of the most prestigious and intellectually rewarding paths in the game. Players who choose this class can anticipate a lifetime of discovery, innovation, and a meaningful contribution to the virtual world's knowledge and understanding.
Academician has low prestige gain. It also doesn't seem to be favorable recently with the rise of the Anti-science faction. However, crisis presents opportunity and if an academician is talented and lucky enough, they might become the next Einstein (the lvl76 scientist who influenced the development of Time and Space update by discovering archives of general and special relativity, which considerably buffed the money generation of all the subclasses of academician and science-related classes) and earn prestige that's enough to reach no.1 in the Prestige Leaderboard.
However, that is to say that Einstein is a special case and there has not been one like him since release. One who was comparable was Newton, or could have even exceeded him. The data is limited since the leaderboards only appeared during the 1st Industrial Revolution update where it introduced leaderboards.
A subclass of nepotism, truly a remarkable end game build
he called Academician subclass the data miner
As an Engineer main under the Mechanical subclass, all I'll say is that much like the Tech subclasses we only know that our designs work and not how they actually work. Any engineer that says otherwise is lying to you solely to gain prestige with classes outside of the Engineering tree.
I once heard a great entertainer player say “It just works!”. He then proceeded to sing and dance like a Disney villain.
A fellow tech class player (web dev subclass) left a comment in his code: "I know this line doesn't make sense but if you delete it everything stops working."
The line didn't make any sense, so I deleted it. Everything stopped working 🤷
But sure, we understand how it works!
Fellow Engineer here. I will 1v1 you for claiming engineers don't really know how their designs work. 😤
The mathematical proofs assuming ideal conditions are infallible. How dare you undermine the arcane arts of multi-variate calculus, and buggy, proprietary design software with hidden algorithms that do all of the work for you 😱.
@Prodigious147 You should invest a bit more on the linguistics tree, maybe grab a point or two on concision (It avoids the TLDR debuff)
@Prodigious147 czcams.com/video/5GgflscOmW8/video.html
While the entertainer classes are often shown to be weak compared to other classes like business or military, it should be remembered that min-maxed entertainer subclasses all have a passive buff which increases their charisma stat's effect on other players by how many players are already influenced.
Scientist mains are low key masochistic: you grind the education skill tree the entire game to have only like .001% chance to get the "Nobel Laureate" achievement and an even smaller chance to get "Changed the World"(either 'for the better' or 'for the worse' variants) AFTER you stop playing the character.
The physicist subclass has an interesting perk in the skill tree called “Dreadful Understanding”.
As the nature of the universe reveals itself to you this increases perception by 5 points but also decreases sanity by 5 points.
All scientists look crazy to the general population. Not saying they are. Their viewpoints and motivations are alien to eachother.
I'm currently finishing the tutorial for the Animator sub-class and I have to say I'm quite scared of the future. Not only has this sub-class historically been known for it's low generation of money, but now there's a chance it will go out of favor due to the newest feature in the game: the AI tools which can do almost anything an entertainer can in a fraction of time and without any cost.
Tech classes sure do love changing the meta
I will say that the new AI companions are over hyped
they're good for niche item crafting but the costs are extravagant if you want a lot of items, which is what animation basically is
Animator's core ability, Frame by Frame, is a lot cheaper than welding together whatever the NPC spits out
there's also rumblings of hidden softcaps left by the devs for the new AI companions that actually limit how much they can get out of the Recursive Training task, and one of the biggest Tech factions has admitted as such
You just answered your worry, just become the expert that uses the new toolkit for animating. Change is inevitable everywhere, be the first mover and rack in stupid profits
About to have the negative money stat.
tbh i think we need a new balance patch
@@RegularRhombicDodecahedron 100% that shit needs to get nerfed
The income for lower level Tech mains was nerfed quite a lot in recent patches, but Tech builds still remain popular, which makes me think that additional nerfs will come in the future. So I would love to see a guide for Mechanic builds. Players specing into skills involving hands are speculated to be buffed in income. Certain subclasses of the Logistics class have also been in demand during The Pandemic event, so I think it's worth looking into.
Mid game+ the income for tech mains is still pretty good in most server regions, even with the current Inflation world event. I'd stick with it if you can.
A lot of newer tech mains are worried about the upcoming AI incremental patch releases - but in my experience this is likely to go the same way as the Internet and Mobile Device patch sets - highly disruptive, but ultimately beneficial for those who embrace the new content.
Best of luck!
As someone undergoing the Univeristy tutorial quest for the Computer Science Class, i'm kinda worried about the AI PBE currently brewing, hopefully the devs update the tutorial quest before it releases
Exactly, this class is going to keep getting nerfed as the youth’s anxieties to do Trades causes that class to get buffed
Tech has a shitty early game when compared to the trades for example, wich can earn you nice money very very early. But an endgame tech player with high intelligence, some charisma and fortitude can get shit tons of currency after unlocking the manager specialization
Trades falls off in the mid game and generally doesn't even have an endgame build, unless you're opening a shop or something and having other lower level trades players working for you
@@recolinotyuTrades is a solid build, but it applies physical debuffs in the late game AND THEY STACK
I absolutely love these kinds of videos you guys make. Would love to see a more specific guide on any of the classes tbg
Tribal build: Pros: very fit, no need of money, have family, have many friends. Cons: no money, need to work everyday, RNG in different area.
Sometimes you spawn with your neighbors agroed too
As someone running a low level logistics build; I agree the current meta isn't great, but I've found most early level builds can spec well into other classes.
honestly season 120 is looking pretty ok for logi classing
but there's rumblings of some big changes in update 2024
who knows?
An important addition to the Education Class is that one of the traditional prestige sub-classes "Tenured Professor" is pretty quickly dying out and getting replaced in the meta with the significantly nerfed "Adjunct Professor" and "Postdoctoral Researcher" subclasses. Both of the new classes have worse gold generation and lose the "tenure-track" buff, which means you end up having to multiclass just to keep playing a lot of the time.
It sucks because to even get to those you have to invest a massive amount of gold and xp into the "graduate student" subclass to complete the PhD questline. The graduate student subclass has some of the worst fortitude debuffs in the game, comparable to the medical class, but both gold and xp generation are pretty much entirely RNG from the "Grant Application" and "Publish Academic Paper" sidequests. A lot of people say this meta-change is the result of the Neolibral patch they released in version 19.80, which switched "University Administrator" from a late-game Education prestige class to a Business class.
Hoping to spec into pilot subclass for logistics. Surprisingly versatile
Good luck. Don't end up like those certain pilot players who neglected their athletics stat which resulted with military/politics/crime class players commiting a little bit of griefing on this day 20 patches (years) ago
Influencer having one of the lowest points in all the stats is probably the most accurate thing in this entire video
As a restaurant worker, the stacking customer bullshit debuff is freaking hilarious and true!
I would like specific guides on all these classes
and maybe a look into other class niches if possible
Sounds like you may be suited to Trades class with that indecision I’m smelling 😅
The business class can also unlock additional perks or subclasses, such as "sales" or "client retention" by increasing their charisma stats. This can help increase their earnings in the early and middle game.
retail main here. Our class has the ability to heavily debuff other classes by using the inconvenience skill.
This skills allows us to waste other players time, money, or life force by doing things wrong or to spite the players that used the speak to your manager skill on us.
The effects of this skill ranges from taking away fuel for transportation, decreasing the amount of time you have for side missions, and in rare cases inflicting the food poisoning status effect
Data Analyst Main here, pls make a tutorial on how to minimize the depression debuff whilst looking at massive tables all day long. Thanks
The Large Monitor item might help - or at least counter the Eyestrain debuff
Started in the retail class really young with the under the table perk. Then moved into the military class, with a tech subclass. I chose the reservist perk when leveling up however so now I’m about to enter the trades class subclassing electrician. Its easy to multi class these cause my skills are the same for both classes.
in depth walkthrough on the trades class and related subclasses would be nice considering its recent reward patches and dwindling player numbers
Im glad the Logistics class has been receiving so many updates lately. Its looking to become one of the best classes to play in the near future when the skill tree keeps expanding. Im speccing into the Supply Chain branch under the Business class, which will have a ton of synergy once I prestige into Logistician after i finish grinding Education.
as they say, logistics win wars
Welcome to the Supply Chain multiclass. A highly paid specialist field with little competition, due to high demand.
Military subclass... lol! I'm a tech main now, but early game was spent in the military class, your right the perks unlocked there last a lifetime
Maybe make a video about the current Tech Meta? Front end, back end, app dev, database administrator and others.
This is actually surprisingly helpful. Thank you Sir Swag, this was actually easier to digest than other career information.
this was a super fun video homie
I have family in the military tree, and I myself was interested in that specialization. An important thing about it is that at least in my server, it's more like a guild. Once you're in, there are buffs and rebuffs that are applied to all, but otherwise, you can spec into pretty much any subclass within the military guild itself. After your self-determined agreement is expired, smart players will already have every upgrade they need and more to make an easy transition back outside the guild. Except for maybe some fortitude.
I myself am early in the paramedic/firefighter combined subclass in the American server, and one upside is that even though you aren't making as much as a nurse or a politician, you still get the prestige of a nurse, but the benefits of being part of a government labeled subclass. And all of that is at the cost of a slightly higher spec'd tradesman. Essentially, this is probably the most stable sub-classes that stack over time. Would love to hear from higher lvl emergency builds, or any other mid-late game players.
Honestly the billionaire class makes the game very unbalanced and extremely unfair for newer players
Ots not a sub class it player abusing glitches like tax evasion
Definitely in need of a server wipe or major rebalance patch, the exploits that billionaires can access is ruining the game for everyone
I am against a server wipe - while it would certainly fix the balance problems I feel like too much progress would be lost 😅
It's the endgame build of the best class, business. It is not overpowered but just as high power as it should be.
In reality anyone can achieve it
@@SQERDOMOONLIGHT You must be playing a different game than the rest of us.
The paramedic subclass earning as much as its other Emergency counterparts is actually from a patch that hasn't hit the US servers. Players foolish enough (me) to spec into this class frequently make mid to late game cross class builds with other healthcare builds or with the firefighter subclass, primarily for the pension buff towards end game progression
Watching your videos is always worth the time!
Describing life as just “a play through” is giving me a weird sense of ephemeral
Logistics is the most underrated class. When paired with the business class it becomes very OP.
Wouldn’t mind some attention given to the educator class. The mechanic of joining the tutorial missions as a guide character is interesting, but not sure about the incentives. New players are always hard to work with, sometimes it feels like they don’t even know what game they’re playing :/
Guides need to create a guild to demand fair pay from the administration class
@@Lucas-po6mn Politician and administration class players tend to counter education players quite well. The guild could be easily disbanded by a high lvl politician or administration or even business player. Still worth the education players trying to form the guild though. Maybe if enough players join the guild quickly enough they can improve their class.
Logistics class (trucker) here. In the mid game now and I'm starting to throw most of my gold into the auction house (stock market) to try and get some passive buffs (dividend income)
As someone who is part of the logistics class one thing that isn't mentioned for small scale logistics is the draining of resources due to "Insane operations" debuff. Specing a little in the mechanics tech tree helps a lot to mitigate this downside
I don't think this is fair - large scale logistics inevitably have the "Insane Operations" debuff too!!
@@ndazza they do but unlike when you do it yourself they tend to be prepared and have invested into "Heavy Maintenance"
Entertainment/engineer subclass is pretty tough so far but im hoping it scales up
I'm currently an influencer/tech main but I'm having a struggle getting out of the early game.
@@c0ya1the influencer class has the competition debuff as many people try to play that influencer class which then took out most of the audience/gold source.
@@nssupremacy_4281 But I've also heard that the sponsorship buff could help people get out of early game, or at least reach the end of early game quickrr.
Fingers crossed 🤞 Each class has it’s good metas and shit metas
@@nssupremacy_4281 Really hard to farm with the entertainment class after the internet update patch, high level entertainment players are abusing the infinite AOE of their skills to farm. Tough to enter a server where high level players can farm anywhere on the map without even having to travel
the farmer subclass is underrated, its intelligence stat is a hidden high requirement to function properly, especially these days. You can even cross it with the mechanic subclass and tech if you invest into it.
My favorite thing about the military build is you also get assigned another subclass based on a skill spec before you join. I got the Public Affairs subclass so my creativity stats are supposed to be nutty.
The trades is a pretty good class to spec into but definitely takes more athleticism than shown. It does have high benefits in the mid to late game but at the cost of the body aches debuff and poor temper debuff. Most also tend to get the sailors mouth status effect.
It should be noted that the fortitude requirement for the medicine class is higher when you start on the SEA server.
Why is that?
As someone speced into the Bartender Subclass I have to say that you absolutely nailed it
Engineering build here, currently multiclassed into tech and education.
Currently stuck in the Education Class until I build up enough EXP to spec into Medicine. It definitely requires a lot more points in the Studying skill tree than previous levels in the class, but I think I can respec in time.
We need a IRL class tier list!
as medicine class main, you are on point on the fortitude points requirement, i've seen a lot of high int players with low fortitude switch class mid game 😢
A note about the scammers stat distribution - it’s actually a lot more beneficial to have a high charisma as a scammer
Unless there are some major balance patches soon, I’m seriously thinking about uninstalling.
I’d love to see an in depth review of Engineering subclasses
This
A in depth video on logistics class would be interesting tbh!
I find the tutorial for the fame quite cool in the way it works, i would love a video on tutorial strategies because it is not linear like in most games, rather in this game the tutorial already includes a class choice in multiple stages of specificity (ranging from 3 to even around 10 stages of specifying your class depending on the tutorial path you choose and server you play in.) like the first choice after the parenting tutorial (if you are unlucky you might not get the parenting tutorial) of whether to attend primary school, the later middle school, then high school in which there is already a variation, but after that you can choose apprenticeship or university or exploration as your options. It would be cool to see a deep dive video on all the tutorial mechanics of the game.
What a masterclass in self depreciating humor. This is the kind of meme flex i love from this channel.
Audiovisual producers are an underrated build imo
Literally any other class can benefit from our skillsets and support capabilities
And the smarter ones always include at least some in their teams
this was so good pls do more like it pls
This video is an absolute masterpiece & goldmine of beautiful lines.
Ahhh nostalgia for old Sir Swag robot voice.
The Administration class is an often overlooked class that is controversial due to some players arguing it is more of a genra of sub-class than a class unto itself.
It is usually very similar to many business sub-classes in stat and skill requirements, as well as in its core gameplay loop. However, instead of being in the business hierarchy, you are placed in the Polotics hierarchy (and sometimes other hierarchies as well, depending on the sub-class).
This usually results in a lower money generation as compared to an equivalent business main, however, Administration mains tend to have much higher quality of life perks, and their runs are much less likely to be upended due to bad RNG. Making it a low risk, low-reward alternative often preferred by more casual players, at least for low to mid level runs.
The other main advantage of the Administration class as compared to business only applies at its highest levels which only the most dedicated and skilled of Administration mains can reach. At these levels, you get many of the perks of the Polotics class, but without as strong of competition from the notoriously sweaty tryhard Polotics mains, or the potentially run ending election questline that automatically fires every few patches on most servers.
The Administration class is generally seen as less viable than Buisness overall due to its generally lower money generation, and is certainly less popular than Buisness outside of a few outlier servers where the Buisness class playerbase has been nearly entirely game ended by the economic collapse server event. However, very high level Administration mains have been known to arguably weild more power in the game than even the highest level Polotics players.
Lastly, and perhaps most strangely, the highest levels of both the Military class, and some Emergancy sub-classes, find themselves forced to multi-class into Administration to continue to advance in their playthrough, if not fully switch classes all together.
Great video
If you're a newer player but close to the "College Degree" Quest line, I highly recommend the Marketing subclass from the business class, unlike in other classes, you may find yourself boosting some stats for free from older players that do not understand the "Tik Tok strat", the issue is that if you cannot rank up fast enough, or do not carry the nepotism perk, you are highly replaceable, even by players that do not have the College Quest completed or who have ouright skipped it.
Sad to see the science/biology/chemistry class was not included. Sure they might not be meta but they are responsible for some of the community made content like pasteurized milk and vaccines
To be fair, they also created the COVID-19 world event…
The pasturized milke item tasts like s@#t
That aoe dot build is all som of us have. Sorry it's boring but it works
Before speckin into the crim class, be sure to try out the firefightin or militari classes to earn early stat boost and exp.
currently started the university quest line for the space engineer sub class. i gotta say, there is a lot of potential in space, plus you get a lot of perks that can be used on earth too. with some min maxing and optimization it can be quite powerful. cant wait to see where this gets me.
i guess psychologist would be a medicine subclass, still definitely need to grind my fortitude xp for it
i started by speccing into the trade class but i'm hoping to eventually build up an main a tech build
I'm at level 18 and in the tech class tutorial. Thinking of completing the tech tutorial and then starting the trades class tutorial since a lot of players from the trades class disconnected from the servers or just got the elderly debuff (which has resulted in the trades build buff in the recent patch). I do have some trades class exp since I have been helping a family member who is lvl 60 since I was lvl 14. My stats are pretty well rounded now and I have a good idea of what its like to play both tech and trades builds.
Good luck on your tech build if you decide to get into it
I'm a relatively new player hoping to spec into the tech class, would you say the grind is worth it?@@BAGUETTEBOYyt
Increasing intelligence stat in the culinary sub class can unlock business perks, which can significantly increase gold gains. Charisma would help as well
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CONTENT
Hey new player here, I finished the tutorial not long ago and I tried to promote to the tech class tree which had a good money generation but I didn't like the gameplay loop.
My build right now is like:
Stats: mainly invested in intelligence, creativity and a bit in athletics.
Skills: Even though not high level I still have all the starter skills that the tech tree gives like Math, Programming, Group work buff, etc...
I'm looking for a class with a fun gameplay loop even though it doesn't have a good money generation rate.
Open for suggestions!
I know a fellow Tech player who also didn't like the gameplay loop. He subclassed into Game Developer and never looked back
I think the Education coass should really be fully reworked, it has some problems with teaching newer players on how to decide on a job and the amount of sessions on different topics that players are given regardless of whether they like it or didn't choose it
Nice vid kings
Currently at the Manual Labor Blue Collar Class.
Hoping the meta is favorable.
Ah the human meta? I didnt know humans had so many subclasses to spec into
I'm going for a low faith build 🙏
Ayoooo same! Hail satan 🤘
Faith is an unusual stat, most people seem to treat it as a dump stat or take very little, but at high levels you get interesting perks like Feel No Fear, Feel No Pain and bonuses to disciplne, and once you take Martyrdom, death becomes an advantage, not a problem. It also doesn't have geographic restrictions, you can always up sticks, hike somewhere and evangelise. On the other hand, you end up in a pretty restricted playstyle, you can move anywhere, but your options for depth are reduced. IMO its a great build if you're willing to make sacrifices.
@EcclesiastesLiker-py5ts naturally, you also get debuffs to the skills of intellect and perception, despite the fact that most players encorperate some points into faith you're right in the aspect that most don't build too much into it, main reason why most do put a couple points in is just so they can get rid of the existential insecurity debuff in the early game, it was actually the warlord class that really brought faith builds into the closed beta, once the game went live the new update which everyone was expecting to come with a basic faith build nerf ended up coming out, and it started causing certain builds to fail at nullifying the existential insecurity debuff, certain famous trailblazing players started trying to abandon faith builds in the late game instead going for high intellect builds that managed to cut oit that drasted debuff, if only the devs were more clear with how they conveyed the lore maybe we wouldn't have a need for the existential insecurity debuff. Or even faith builds in the first place. Instead, we could focus those points on more beneficial areas in the early game. Other than that, though, you can still feel pain and fear with high faith builds after all the advanced torture methods that were updated in update 2.002 added the ability to skip around the faith immunity skill which dominated the combat meta back during the crusades. Faith builds are still overpowered, and players who utilise them still often cause harm to those who use more eccentric builds. ever since they formed a guild after the release of patch 0.3 towards the middle of the closed beta, they have remained one of the most toxic and belligerent guilds in the game, they treat those within the guil like family but those outside who don't vibe with some of the rules of the guild are looked down upon with almost genocidal distain, it's been the catalyst for several pvp updates during the closed beta and even several confrontations after the game went live with patch 1.963. Faith builds have an extensive history with countless buffs and nerfs dating back to its inception. However, in more recent updates, it seems to be losing its placement within the meta. This is, of course, a wonderful thing as there are numerous other builds that are way more fun without any investment into faith holding them back.
6:47 you forgot to mention that high creativity and some intelligence unlocks the "grunts & crafts" skill, which allows the user to freely modify an item in their inventory, some servers force you out of the class if the admins see you using the skill though
You forgot about the Law & Order with defense attorneys and prosecutors being natural enemies and both having the ability to control the police in different ways and in the endgame for the prosecutors to become judge
Finally another robot voice video. I somehow like this alot more
Same
Military class here. Food ain’t free and I don’t get tax breaks.
Being able to force other military class players to emote. 😂😂😂 I lost it
This is amazing
As someone finishing up the hydrologist subclass tutorial, the money generation and QoF are decent but overall too low to draw players away from the Business class. Alarmingly low comparative prestige too. :/
