Farewell Eorzea you lost another one.

All I could recommend is to force them to join the "Hall of Intermediate" if its ever happen to be implented. They would need to solve some trials and read through their skill descriptions, check up rotations and guides via google or simply ask their FRIENDS.. So they would take like 30min to understand basic things in exchange for a whole month or even more of MSQ content.

The Intermediate Hall needs to cover things like:

• dots are always ticking even when you are not on the boss, thus they are important
• dots tick always stronger than a buff is up (renewing before dots go off helps alot too)
• learning which combo and rotation to start with
• how to use an opener
• how to manage your CD's (buffs, etc)
• to learn about the aggro bar
• etc

though I have to admit a jump potion comes handy... people surely want to reach the new "jobs" (also HW ones) and start to learn/play them immediatly. And the new jobs will be pretty sure in the next new maps, which makes them unaccessable for every ARR or HW MSQ player.

Even as a "old player" I would not mind going into this hall for the CD management and opener^^"

You are leaving because of things that might, possibly, happen in the future? Idk, that seems kind of stupid. You expect a bad outcome, but you have no way of knowing it WILL actually be bad. How about just seeing how things will turn out before you ragequit pointlessly? There have been lots of things that looked horrible in the past and then it turned out they weren't so bad after all^^

Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% against jump potions too and fear how they will influence both the playerbase and further "service" decisions SE makes, but we LITERALLY have no way of knowing how big that effect will actually be. Equally, we also know next to nothing about Stormblood yet, so judging if it will feel fresh or burn you out is not yet possible either.
Your argument sounds like someone who never enters a relationship his entire life because there is a chance it might end in a break-up. Just enjoy it while it lasts, and maybe it will last until death (MMO shutdown). If it doesn't, well, at least you had a good time before it went bad ;)
But just running away before anything actually happens...

Very well said, Sera.

I don't and will never understand the point of this threads. They scream "attention seeking" to me rather than a heart felt feeling.

If you wanna go , go. you already gave your opinion on the matter why is it ok to create ANOTHER thread on the subject that is being discussed on another thread?

I like how people complain about jump potions crippling people's ability to play their class properly when many of us pick up a class in palace of the dead, start at level 60, and generally understand the rotation within 10 floors.

And yet I seen as many people not get it, including outside the palace.

That's the thing though, if people want to learn, they learn. If people do not want to learn, they don't learn. People could level to 10 or 50 or 60 or 1000 and it still will not make a bit of damn difference.

That's just because there's a lot of bad players. That'll be present regardless of the jump potions, or palace, or whatever's out there. haha

1st thing that came to mind.

I'm not quite ready to write everything off and quit but the game is in a very precarious position right now and they need to hit a homerun with Stormblood - if it's a reskin of ARR/HW there are going to be many fewer who stick around for the same patterns.

They desperately need some more endgame diversity and less <3 month planned obsolescence.

Personally I understand that they have to do something to help new players get into the expansion without the many hours it would take to play through basically 2 full campaigns - the game just isn't set up like XI where you could have multiple starting points for chunks of MSQ. The pro is that we get a long engaging story, the con is that being behind is a huge hurdle.

Personally if the options are: SE spends a good chunk of money to rebuild/streamline 2.xx (the biggest offender here probably - HW is much more streamlined already) or allows jump potions - then as an end game player you really benefit more from them doing jump potions because then they don't take away development time/money for something you've already experienced and are unlikely to benefit from in anyway.

Jump potion is one of many ways but it's a very good money grabbing way. Square enix is greedy as hell, nothing more. OP is probably right. In the end Mogstation was supposed to include optional glamour only and now it gets Jump Potions? That's definitely not the end.

You have a point, but then again, people kept demanding to enable skipping, so here we are

is that the natural selection ppl where talking about with jump potion ?:rolleyes:

Who cares about jump potions? The story has SO much filler that would turn off new players who have to play the ENTIRE story that we have had broken up. Its redundant. Port to X talk to 1 NPC to port right back to Z where you just were. Over and over and over. As for players who don't understand how to play their class/job? There's people who have played since 2.0 and don't play optimal. If you have friends and people to run content with, I don't see how any of this effects you. I rather SE have money to maintain a beautiful game that has content released regularly. Go play a F2P and you'll see what I mean.

look there still hope to argue Yoshi P. out of it. it not set in stone mind you
