Heavensward Predictions

I thought it may be fun to throw together a prediction thread, but thought it better to collect them in a form so they could be graphed and saved. So I built this:

There have been a few responses so far, and they can be seen in graph form here:

Expansion predictions?

Quick, someone throw up a graphic of the server crashes and 9000 notifications that plagued at launch.

Nice work on that.

Not so much another prediction from me, but it'd be nice if Alphinaud and Alisaie got slightly older character models. They've been 13-14 too long and I'm concerned they'll never go through puberty at this rate.

I don't know where people are getting 2-3 new job skills from since Yoshi stated in interviews leveling form 50-60 will take the same amount of time as leveling form 1-60.

i tell you what will happen on the 19th june :

THIS WORLD IS ALREADY FULL. please wait 2 hours:D

So you think we'll get a new job skill every single level from 51-60? When previously, we got a new "job skill" every 5 levels via the quests. Based on that, one at 55 and one at 60 is reasonable, with perhaps a base class skill tossed in for some randomness.

Yup. That's it.

It will turn out that the Alexander raid is actually inside Ishgard, its very palace.
Midgartsormr actually removed your Blessing of the Light as guardian of Hydaelyns body.
And we will have to ally ourselves with the Dravanians in the course of the MSQ.

...Or something like that.

You don't even know that I've already won.

I predict chocobo racing and TT will be combined. Yes Cardgames on Chocobos.

Basically this.

i just hope the story's better.

I predict that someone on a flying mount will try to dismount in mid air, And go splat on the ground if they can do it.

That's because they are going the WoW route with expansions which mean they are going to add as much if not more abilities than they had in 2.0

I predict that we'll be forced to do menial task (as always) while being berated as a traitor, so that we can somehow prove our virtue and innocence and regain their trust

Ok so as an example: pugilist (not monk) had 17 abilities not including traits. You really think that in the next 10 levels, pugilist will get 17 OR MORE abilities? It's unlikely.

The question was asking about job abilities, not class abilities. Now they're of course free to do whatever they want, but currently you get job abilities every 5 levels. So between 50 and 60 we'd get 2 new ones (one at 55 and the other at 60).

Also WoW NEVER EVER added as many abilities in an expansion as a class started with. Usually you'd get like 2 new spells. One at max level and another sometime before that.

Personally I'm expecting 2 job abilities, 2 class abilities, and 2 or 3 traits per class to be added.

Summoner alone will have 3 new summon spells with Leviathan, Ramuh and Shiva and 3 more job abilities which makes 6 job abilities since Summoners get job related spells. I think it will be a class ability every other level starting at 51 and ending at 60 and a job ability every other level starting at 52 and ending at 60.

According to the lore panel, Elezen have much longer age spans than we do. That means that when in their teens they might still look like children, and might look like teens when they're in their 20s, maybe even 30s. Their physical childhood, boyhood and adulthood last a lot longer than the other races'.

Anything's possible, but in your example remember that SMN got 3 summons in 2.x as well, but only one of them was a new spell (Summon III). Also where are you getting 3 more job abilities for SMN? Was that in a panel?

That my beloved Haurchefant will die. /cry

Yoshi already stated that Summoner's are getting all elemental primals in Egi form in 3.0. Since every time someone ask if Summoners are getting x egi every time a new primal is released during Q&A the answer is always when the level cap is raised its safe to assume that Summoner's will be getting three new summon abilities.

wow, the summary is pretty interesting. I would think that some of the answers would be more spread out. It seems like almost everyone agrees that the new jobs will likely come from Ishgard, and that the new jobs will likely start @ 30.

What I find interesting is the iLvl section. There is a pretty big disparity from people's opinions. I will be interested to see where the iLvl goes.

seeing the stats are really nice, although are the names listed depending on the number of answers ?

With how mechanic heavy and flexible the new classes are, i predict the old school classes to be useless until patch 3.1

I predict...

That there will be dragons.

And people on their new mounts singing "I believe I can fly" at ungodly hours in the morning when the expansion goes live.

I predict/hope we will get the last two Junior Officer ranks in the GCs (First Lieutenant and Captain). And also that we will get the JR Officer combat gear.
