If you wish to nominate yourself, please use the following form:

 

Character name:

Play style: (Example: PvE Raids, PvP Colosseum, Crafting, etc. List any and all that apply)

Top 3 reasons I should be VCR:

What future do you want for your class:

[Harkoa]

Character Name: Yllavyre

Play Style: All, but mostly PvE & Crafting

 

 

Top 3 reasons I should be VCR:

 

1) I'll keep an assertive but open mind, without bias. In other words, I'll listen to, and utilize, community feedback.

 

2) I'll take this position seriously. I prefer to be straightforward and get to the point. I personally have been waiting since May to see Monks get a revamp or some work done. I want to see this happen, whether it be by me or a better person for the position.

 

3) Multiple class experience and veteran player. I've been playing this game since May, and have multiple class experience to back up opinions and whatever's written in my reports.

 

 

What future do you want for your class:

 

I want Monks to have a defined role; not this in limbo nonsense. They were intended to be tanks, and yet they're at the bottom of all of them. They're seen as a 1v1 tanks only, which leaves them undesired or useless in most situations. We either fix the tank skills and aspects so they're on par with other tanks, add true versatility, or find a different role (dps).

 

Aside from the defined role, I want to see more monks around, in general. They're a dying class, which is awful (we shouldn't have ANY dying classes). It'd be nice to see them fit a role and be more enjoyable to play.

 

Those are my two personal goals. I understand the community will have their own, and I'll do my best to relay and represent them appropriately.

 

[Meconopsis]

Character name: Vestria
Play style: I did them all. Except WoE. Like, monks wouldn't breathe a second there.
Top 3 reasons I should be VCR:
1) Reasons... Well, HELL, I've been playing "VCR" for a huge while, no fancy titles, just straight topic and debate. I knew almost all the vocal monk players around, and I argued and agreed with their statements. So, making this official just now is pretty funny, in my opinion.
2) Because: I like monks. Actually, well, I'm very serious at getting straight to the point. If I see things as it is, I'm going to speak up obviously, make my point, even if it irritates the CM's or other players (without making it personal offensive, nobody got time for that).
3) For those who know/knew me, I won't say I'm a veteran or I play for billions of hours. No, seriously, I don't play much at all now, nor am I master level 20 monk or have Osiris gears or even paid a single cent into 3-slot costumes or bothered with anything P2W, like those potions or stuff. I play the game whenever I'm bored beyond bored, I would PvP more if it was good, but you know what? I'm bored, and I want this game to stop being boring.

What future do you want for your class:
Oh boy, future? Well, I have opinions... Radical stuff. Things that might shake up the foundation of monk. Might need that second monk player to keep me in line. I'll probably just try to make the class too good, but then again, I'm not here to fix the class, I want to make the developers see what potential they can get out of this entire plan.
-Make them more than Tank or DPS. Make them unique, make them a hybrid-based class.
-Give them more options. Monks are the only "tank" class with only a single "stance" move. Like what the fist?
-This means more monk skills. Seriously, monk is a one track path, no wonder nobody bothers to play it.
-Design-wise, monk is boring from pre-AoV and to an extent today is also boring. I think it's going to take more than band-aids and wrappings to make this class "fun."
-I want my class to be taken seriously. Our class is a joke, and our numbers prove it. Our weapon design proves it. And the only monk that was taken seriously was the Grandmaster Jehoon. YOU KNOW WHAT? ALL MONKS SHOULD BE REMODELED TO BE AS SWOLLEN AS GM JEHOON. MUSCLES MAKES MIGHT.

What I don't want for monk
-Forced into a role.
-Having less tools because other classes have them. Like what logic is that?
-Being better or weaker than other classes.

[KaintheOmega]

Was going to nominate myself as this thread was empty last I saw. Then I saw Meconopsis.   I know where my vote is going.

[Imhorny]

Was gonna nominate Zechrem, but he uninstalled the game. Then I saw Meconopsis and KaintheOmega   They seem legit.

[KaintheOmega]

@ImHorny: From what I've heard, you'd make a good nomination yourself. I'll go ahead & throw mine in though.

Character name: KainTheLast

Play style: PvE Quests/Dungeons/Raids, Crafting, etc.

Top 3 reasons I should be VCR:
Well, I haven't been here since Beta; in fact, I've only been here since early January 2014. I feel aside from PvP (as my experience is little & outside of Colosseum or WoE; although I'd like to try more to broaden my experience) I've got accustomed mostly to this class' ins & outs. I'm one of few actual Monks in this game (or at least of the few I've noticed). One of fewer who mains it as I have no other alts. Very big on finishing what I start.

1. I'm very passionate about this class & have been learning the ins-and-outs of the Monk since playing this, as previously stated. Always more to learn so I'll admit I don't know everything, which can also be where having more than one VCR can be helpful.

2. You can find many a reason others put in their VCR Nominations here; being helpful, a good listener, unbiased, the best at his/her class, etc. To be honest I can be many of these as well, but am afraid that putting this would be a bit too cliche. I'll go with it anyway, as well as to say that I'm very serious on the subject & won't be afraid to give my opinion if it differs. As well as to say retract statements I've made if say a point is made & proven in difference to mine.

3. I intend to help this class as best I can in order to let it contend with others again as detailed below.

What future do you want for your class:
A unique direction to take them for one. Monk right now feels hardly unique as too many of their skills are just the same "utility" copy-pasted from other Tanks. Sometimes even made worse or to the same effect spread out thin in our tree to fill space. This being while only they enjoy the unique utility that they still possess & we do not. More so that a Main Tank is all we're seen as & a role we're forced into; which compared to other Tanks at the moment now makes us more detrimental to party play. I'd like for Monk to do more than just that. I'd like to avoid it being just another Flavor of the Month class as well too. Instead to give it some unique that allows it to contend or excel in it's own right (rather than agin, just being straight out better than others). I'm more for the idea of a hybrid as well. I like filling one of two roles when necessary rather than just the one. I do recognize too that Monk has one unique skill to fill in a fight. As RNG as it is the Heavy Tackle effect Internal Wound affects everything when it goes off, even the thing we're intended to beat down normally unaffected by Stuns. It still shouldn't be our only though & perhaps it can be built on.

Looking forward to when Monk becomes a more desired, & less boring class.

[Meconopsis]

Haha regardless who gets the role lets make this class go wild!

You might as well throw down Dad. Got nothing to lose. We'll blow up the monk forums like my monk balance topic long ago. Not like there are enough monk players around.

Vessy <3
Yo can my level 50 acolyte be here? I'll yell Asura Strike every time I Holy Light something to death...

[Meconopsis]

No Arby go back to being our guild mascot  jk jk~

[Imhorny]

From what I have been hearing, VCR isn't what you think it is. Most likely you will just report bugs.

[Meconopsis]

It's a glorified bug reporter, yeah. But maybe the devs might take it seriously. Ah, what am I saying, the chance of that happening is like impossible.

 

[Vaiki]

Character name: Vaiki

Play style: PvP, PvE, and WoE. I'd like to be able to make input upon all aspects of the character as a whole within all areas.

 

Top 3 reasons I should be VCR: 

1. As a max master level 20 monk (20/20 100/100), I would be able to make accurate observations of the class as it reaches end-game content. Be able to challenge the future content that the game would have to offer.

 

2. With the state of the game right now and its large concentration for PvP and WoE, a consideration for balance should be noted for this class not only touching upon the strengths of the character but the weaknesses as well. I am moderately geared with items I purchased with money I made ingame. As a non-KP user, moderation to this character class' stats and gear would be made with consideration of the boundaries of a normal casual player.

 

3. Most important of all, I won't be ignoring all the other monks out there with suggestions, I plan to listen to all bugs, complaints and problems that any monk has and relay the information to the best of my ability.

 

What future do you want for your class:

Not only defining a role for our class but give diversity to the class itself. Make it more than a 1-shot wonder. A tank with the option to build DPS. With the ability to build differently, reaching for the outer limits that this character class is lacking as well as improvement in the areas that it is already adept. The class should be reincarnated and we have the creativity of the community to make it happen.
