He legit watched the job action trailer only for Dark Knight and got all flustered when the first job shown was Gunbreaker. He skipped around the video trying to only find the "big sword guy" instead of just watching it. So yeah, he is probably setting himself up for disappointment.

He'd probably enjoy tanking as a Marauder/Warrior initially. When I joined the game I had a similar mind set to him. Picked Marauder initially because it was the class with the big axe and looked cool.

Ended up still using Warrior as my main tank class today.

The disappointment is going to come from him needing to throw fifty hours at the game before he can touch the job he wants to play. ARR getting in the way of players enjoying the game, again.

Ah yes, how dare he be drawn in by one aspect of the game and wanting to learn more about it instead of automatically loving and consuming all content instantly. These WoW players are legit toxic, yes, them.

I honestly feel like the bigger issue is going to be having to level DRK up to 50 from 30 to continue using it in the MSQ. It's jarring if you plan on running any of the HW jobs.

A toxic individual and his fawning moonies,god help FFXIV

Leveling isn't too bad nowadays, but yeah it's probably jarring for a new player, considering every new job after HW starts at 50, 60 and soon to be 70 and are easily accessible. Unfortunately, unless they do a complete revamp of the job quests for DRK, MCH and AST things will probably stay as they are now. Thankfully, they remembered this misstep and didn't repeat it, but still...that doesn't fix the issue.

Being easy and wanting to do it are two separate issues, though. I don't know enough about the guy to comment whether or not it'd be an issue for him.

I hope that he does enjoy the game, the more the merrier. My response was referring to his own expectations. He's made it clear on many occasions that he dislikes most of FFXIV's aesthetics and wishes that everything in the game was more "badass" (big bulky heroes, big weapons, etc). He specifically singled out Dark Knight as an interest, disregarding the rest in the trailer because they weren't in-line with the aesthetic he likes. If he goes in with that mentality, he is setting himself for disappointment because you can't start as a Dark Knight.

I really do hope he joins the game with an open mind and genuinely gives it a chance. If he likes it, great. If not, that's fair. I don't think most people have a direct issue with Asmon, it's more the crowd that follows him and their raging negativity.

This is a slow news day. If he plays, kool, if not kool. Lets talk about the important issues. Like hats and fantas to change hair :V I kid. But yeah, let me pose a question here. Is it REALLY that big of a deal he MIGHT play? I still don't think he will if you ask me my opinion as I think he's too invested /in love with WoW to move on. And if he does it'll only be until 9.1 anyway. So what does him coming here for the short time it'll be do for our game? Would we be up in arms if Mr. Happy played WoW or something else? D:
