Hmm well the lack of a resounding no from Steven on that question that one class can be everything worries me.
I dont wanna see each class being able to excel at every role, by lacking a grounded NO on that im afraid its deviating towards that.

It was more about a person able to do everything not a class, and in EC we should be able to change our class very often... IMO that question applies more to the traditional MMORPGs than to EC.

Actually no if you listened closely you would hear that class roles where the issue on the persons mind (tanking, healing etc are class roles).

In the trinity it is. If you think there is going to be a "Tank" class in EC then I got some bad news for you.

I think you can be pretty sure noone is expecting a trinity in EC, yet roles will exist. Even the devs called the 4th basic class a "support" class.
The argument that the threads on this forum sparked are people being able to be good in melee and range at the same time, some agree some dont. I think you can deduce on which side i stand.

That's really up to how good the player is.

Thats actually really more up to what tools which class is allowed to field, which is again something still up in the the air and debated greatly in threads around the place.
Bottom line, not the thread to debate it. Just wanted to say its a nod for one side of the argument in those debates.

So anything else new besides class news that they talked about at Pax?

They talked about F2P, microtransactions etc but i came in late to hear Stevens comment.

So nothing on the founder's program or anything concerning a beta release?
