Geomancer and Rune Fencer Jobemotes??

[Kjara]

As the lover of silly things as I am, I can't help but wonder about this. Will we see new jobemote quests soon? I'm fine with GEO and RUN getting no empyrean or relic of whatsoever kind, but PLEEEEASE tell me we're getting the jobemotes!!

Also, disappointment on the update.. we got one whole new continent and not even a single new furniture? Hoping to see some new ones soon!

And last but not least, some new low-level costume gear would be cool! Any news on the matter? Any thoughts?

[Alhanelem]

oh no, a whole new continent with a new city, new quests and new content, and two new jobs, what a shiatty update... /sarcasm

There will be more version updates, don't panic.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said the update was bad, just that I was disappointed to not see furniture.

And I wouldn't say asking questions about things that I personally haven't seen being brought up yet is 'panic', either.

Each player is free to prefer certain aspects of the game over others, and inquire about it. Unless there's a rule somewhere saying that one must not ask about stuff right after an update, that I'm not aware of.

@above: no offense, but I think you need to revise your priorities if the thing you were most excitied for was new furniture and job emotes. I want them too, but it's not ruining my experience not to have them yet.

[Kjara]

it's not ruining mine either, but I think I'm free to care about other things than stats or achievements.

this is a free forum where players are allowed to discuss anything related to the game. I see many other threads complaining, demanding, attacking SE with aggressive tones or threats of quitting or whatsoever kind of insult. I'm doing none of this, so why bash me for asking about something I like?

I missed where he said the thing he was most excited for was new furnishings and job emotes. Pretty sure he just said he was disappointed on the update lacking furnishing and was hoping there would be some in the future, and looking for a confirmation on when we might expect some job emotes.

And he didn't say that it was ruining his experience either. So I don't know, troll/lie/make stuff up less?

[JouriStarz]

Either way so what if he was most excited about those things? They're his priorities to have not yours, you got your own.

I am disappointed too with this new expansion. I don't understand their reasoning for not including a lot of stuffs being this is EXPANSION not a measly update. They did great with many small things, but seems they did the bare minimum. On top of this, they are not doing a very good job with the bigger things, seeing other people have posted their not so great experience in playing them.

Every expansion didn't release all content immediately. For one, it would take much, much longer to release if they waited for every single bit of expansion content to be developed before releasing it. No MMORPG in existence does this.
Second, Content is released in doses in order to gate the content, so we can't all beat it all within a few days of launching and get instantly bored.
Third, there is a crap ton of content in the initial release, so I don't see any valid reason for complaint on the content front.
If a whole bunch of new areas with new battle content and mechanics, two new jobs, a new city, new quests etc. doesn't qualify as an expansion or isn't sufficient for its initial release, I don't know what is.

Nobody acted like this when the other expanisons came out, and they all had a similar amount of content available at their launches. Other than the usual expansion release congestion sh1tstorm (which is a legitimate complaint, and I totally agree with the complainers on that) this release wasn't functionally better or worse off than the ones before it.

WotG and ToAU both had only a few missions initially avialable. Each added a fairly similar number of new areas. Each had no AF/merits/etc for the new jobs in the initial update. This was done intentionally. They knew there would be a bunch of 99 players in the first 2 days. This is about the only way they have to slow things down a bit .

I haven't met anyone who can tell me they've leveled both jobs to 99 and completely explored all new areas and experienced all new content to the fullest extent possible yet. Until that happens, arguments about too little content have no leg to stand on.

I'm doing none of this, so why bash me for asking about something I like? I'm not bashing you for liking these things- you're free to like whatever you want, and that's cool with me. however, that doesn't make me any less astounded that somebody could be "disappointed" about the update *in general as a whole* because of these things by themselves. You're not enjoying the new jobs? you don't like the new areas? don't like the battle content? There has to be more to it than the job emotes not being released yet.

I'm finding the new jobs quite fun to play (difficult to say how wanted they will be in general, but that's another matter). The new areas are well done, and frankly I'm overwhelemed at the apparent complexity of some of the new features. I'm having a hard time finding things to complain about, at least that arent technical in nature.


And he didn't say that it was ruining his experience either. So I don't know, troll/lie/make stuff up less? I'm not trolling/lying/making stuff up. That's what his post read to me as. My post was based on the impression I got from it (specifically from the statement: "Disappointment with the update."). As I stated earlier in this post, I find it hard to believe someone could be disappointed based on t hose two things named alone- especially when I'm sure both will come in future updates.

The job emotes are already sorta in there. If you type "/jobemote RUN" or "/jobemote GEO", you get the message stating that you cannot use that job emote. If you did something like "/jobemote RTY", you get a message saying that a command error occurred or something like that.

Let's not forget that this is just the beginning and features will be added. BLU, COR, and PUP didn't even have AF when TOAU came out. Now they have all 3 sets of AF.

[Alhanelem]

like I said, the trickle-in of content is intentional. It prevents us from running out of it too fast.

[wildsprite]

that and if you remember with the other expansions and add-ons they were tweaking things with each update to make sure the content played the way they wanted it too,

they will do that with this too,

and if they released it all at once it would give them so much more to fix we would likely see a lot of glitches with quests that don't get fixed for months or maybe never

[Vivivivi]

Necro-bump!

Just curious if this is planned any time soon :D

WHATWHATWHAT!?
...
It's probably just a text command placeholder.............

And indeed. Getting the AFs and then jobemotes happens much later than getting the job.
(though with resources now, and the fact that AF1 is 109 and 119 gear... I wonder why someone doesn't take 5min to make the lv30 torque augments and then a weekend to animate the jobemote... I feel that it's a quick and easy thing to do... and seeing as how relic and empy sets are no longer the "high-end" AFs... don't see why this can't be done in an update's time.)

[Sapphire]

Job emotes or neither job is ever getting leveled past 12 :p

[Kjara]

Welp, my turn to necro-bump this, I guess. It's been quite some time now, and still I haven't seen Adoulin furniture nor new job emotes. I hope the kind developers will give a reply sooner or later^^;

[Raydeus]

If they ever address this they could use the opportunity to also have Job Emotes working with the "motion" command (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/41580-Job-Emotes-working-with-the-motion-command).

I want to be able to use all those cool emotes without spamming everyone's chatlog in the process. orz

They actually did reply to this question before. They said that since some job emotes target other players (SMN, RNG, DRK, WHM...), it would be all too easy to be targeted for harassment by players spamming those emotes on you. If "motion" subcommand was available, people could spam you with those emotes and harass you without you being able to report them because you would be unable to see their name (and in crowded places, it can be hard to see someone doing the motion).

Someone said the same in the thread I made, but while the restriction makes some (not much) sense for targetable Emotes it doesn't make any sense whatsoever for non-targetable ones.

At the very least they should allow those non-targetable emotes to work with the motion command.

[Lithera]

I think it's how the emotes are coded that they can't make it so that only the targeted get this change only.
