It's finally here! ...and the feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive. AdventureQuest 3D is going to have a very large number of playable classes that you can obtain and change between at any time (60+). Which is why it is so important that our four base classes (Warrior, Mage, Rogue, and Guardian) are unique, interesting, and fun. Test out the new classes on our Public Test Realm (STEAM ONLY) and help us make them the best they can be. You will discover combat has become faster, smoother, and the THE NEW ULTIMATES ARE AWESOME!
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
Each class now has an ULTIMATE
Classes are more unique from each other
Attacks are faster (Classes attack at different speeds)
The motion trails of special attacks and their damage #'s are now a different color
Death respawn timer is now shorter-- but you do not spawn at full health.
You can walk backwards faster
Auto attacks can now accumulate points, fire off specials, etc
We are still tweaking and improving things-- so please give us lots of feedback!

The current backwards running animation is intentionally funny (*looks at Korin*)
Yes, you are all a little more powerful than you were previously
