New Scythe Class Coming. Not a Joke

http://i.imgur.com/ESgk3.jpg

Well from what I'm seeing here, it would seem that Automata is not an actual class. It's yet ANOTHER new race, similar to Nova.

All speculation. Could be a new boss, but I do not believe that. The closest they've gone to designing a boss similar to a player character portrait, is Cygnus, Hilla, and Magnus. All of which actually looked like bosses.

Of course this has a tie in with Xenon somehow, which makes it harder to tell what it really is. And seeing as they already teased "Unlimited" it makes it seem as if it could actually be something other than a class.

[quote=Darksigner22]It fits the description of Automata great though, considering that she looks like a cyborg character. It is confirmed that Auotomata uses Scythes as well[/quote]

It's called Xenon now and that's not Xenon. This is.

maybe she's the boss for automata or w/e, like Arkarium being the boss for DS

10 bucks says it's a reprogrammed Cyborg that was created by the Black Wings in the mine. Yeah, we Terminator now.

I will personally fly Nexon a basket of puppies (cargo, dog food not included) if this is a real class. Though this could be just another case of [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/show/screen/221127/2/Upcoming_nova_mage.html]Idea[/url], in which everyone thought she was a new class.
Seeing as we just got information for a new class that doesn't use a Scythe, this could potentially just be an NPC or a Boss.

Or it could be a new enemy, just like Magnus. Who knows....

[quote=xidamex]speculation but look at the scythe it has a gear on it which is a resistance symbol. might be a split patch of xenon. off course it could just be a boss. nexon likes us to guess.[/quote]

After reading the subtext upon the image, this woman sounds more appropriate as an NPC or maybe a boss monster.

It's a class with a scythe.
A robot class with a scythe...

I will hump Nexons leg and give them all my money if this is a class.

[quote=omghobo]lolwut? i think its just a role in automata's storyline, it has been said that automata will be the last RESISTANCE character.. enough with these stupid speculations- if youre going overboard with it, call it a new boss. i just think its a character for the storyline.. or it could actually be automata's job advancer![/quote]

Naw bro. Go nuts with speculation all day. I'd rather think it's a new class than a new boss anyway. It's clear that it ties in with Automata, but check this out.

They said it'd be the last Resistance class right? What the hell is Demon Avenger then? I mean, Demon Slayer is clearly Resistance and Demon Avenger is just another path you can take with him, why not with Xenon/whatever this is?

It's all speculation, so everything is fair to assume. I will disagree though, it all lies within the design elements.

Firstly, when they design new bosses, they don't usually give us a portrait as a teaser. For Magnus, it was illustrations, for Cygnus it was her in-game sprite. For Von Leon, it was a poster with a lot of stuff around him.

Secondly, the weapon. One thing they've done recently with all of the new classes, is show the weapon they use in the portrait. The new bosses they've given us have never had a big emphasis on the weapon they use, but this focuses quite heavily on it.

Finally, the way it looks. All bosses in this game are either creatures, or humans that are 'obviously' bosses. Hilla/Magnus is about as close to a human boss as we've gotten, and they both are obvious giveaways in the fact that they're bosses. Even though Magnus was a bit ambiguous, we got a class that looks about 90% the same as him anyway. We'll see in any case.

You forgot to write down the text that came with this picture.

If we had met somewhere else,
could it have been different now?

That doesn't sound like its going to be a new class, she is probably going to tie together with Xenon, I mean you can clearly she some of the robots from the Black Wings HQ in her background, maybe Xenon choose to be good while she choose to be bad.

Which is why EVERYONE thought Magnus was a new job.

No proof. All speculation. It very well could be a new boss. But if you ask me, they've never designed a boss to look like a player character.

What I mean is, the closest they've gone to making a boss look at all like we do in the game, is probably Magnus, or Cygnus. Both of which actually looked like bosses.

Where's your proof that it's even a new class at all?

Doesn't have to be a new class. My speculation would be that it will be a boss or npc somehow related to Xenon's/Automata's storyline.
