thumbs up for Summoner and Viera

meh 0 comments about the appareance at e3 ... neither for interview... :mad:

woot! I liked seeing the results of the poll ^^ would be awesome to have Viera~~
Can't wait for E3 tmrw!! ~~~~~ YAY~~~~~~~~~~~

No tails no care.

Im glad that majority of players still have common sense about class restriction on repair and materia mend

Very interesting results.

Aww man i was hoping Ninja would be first, but 3rd, pssh, though glad Summoner is up there!

Go Summoner!

Beastmaster pet class, check

And bunny boys. Don't forget the bunny boys~

Also: lawl at double question 1 for the Lodestone Blogs.

I was kind of disappointed with the way the new classes question was put. Love PUP so voted for the pet class, hated SMN and that's what were likely to get. I'm sure quite a lot of people who loved BST voted in this category too.
Rabbits are food, rabbits are not people.

I'm really surprised that the gathering abilities didn't come higher, how are they acceptable when you can go over 3hrs without one procing, and when it does they mostly proc on the last one or 2 strikes

But Yay for Viera and What about unique classes :(

They're gonna regret dropping the Viera name for mammalian beastman, now they better deliver bunny girls or there'll be blood when they were "just using them as a guideline". Bunny girls are serious business.

That's what I really don't like about this poll when it comes to the most important questions; there is a very vague "Would you like something to the approximation of _____?" sentiment attached. Makes you suspect they won't actually put in what everyone wants, but some kind of korean black market knockoff.

I knew Musketeer would win a high spot because I personally know a lot of people who've been waiting for Musketeer since day 1 and that Limsa cutscene, but pet job winning by a landslide was unexpected. I was sure Red Mage was a shoe-in.

Anyhow, with the sheer volume of people wanting more classes and the fairly close poll results of the class question itself, they would be wise to bump up the number of classes/jobs they're going to implement in 2.0's early days. If they double that with a level cap increase, that'd be plenty of content for every kind of player.

It's too bad people don't use the community stuff more, the lodestone blogs are a really neat way of enhancing server relations.

Dark Knight scored that low.....really.....below Thief and Musketeer. Geez.....no matter, we will see it regardless. The only reason for the poll was to see player response, all of the jobs will be implemented sooner or later.

LOL at only 3% of players post often at official forum, i am really glad we don't make the majority because of the retardness going on everyday.

I was actually surprised by this, perhaps most of the community aren't die hard trolls after all.

You act like everyone who posts in the forums are trolls, 90% generally have something to say.

Yes, they do and they acts like they represent the communities as a whole with their ideas.

Easy mistake to make, the mass of troll posts around is misleading.

Whereas that might be true, 87% of that don't say anything worth hearing.

(numbers taken out of my magical number stash, but represent my feelings about it)

Synthesis Q3 and Q4 = WIN!

I'm a happy lala now :)

And in regards to combos

We also received many comments that character positioning is bothersome and difficult. Such comments often go on to add that server delay and UI issues also have a big impact. We’ll be sure to keep these points in mind when making adjustments in the future!

Cos FF did it before Tera (and I know alot did it before FF but shhhhh)

Arethimatician... how can that class even exist in this game. I would love it personally, but if it's skill are based of Final Fantasy tatics where the more magic you know the more you can have to use instantly on Arethimatician (Calculator) how can it work with only two Disciples of magic?

Just saying this should be the final caster added to the game.

Summoner better be before beastmaster, or puppetmaster... Disciples of magics before disciples of war.

The poll for classes should have been more descriptive on what we pick.

It would be lame that I picked the answer with summoner in it or Calculator only to find out that the two melee classes from the choice are released.

I would think it would work a little like SCH in FFXI, then its job would be SCH.

To be fair, the poll was taken before the crafting revisions, if I recall correctly. Back then crafting was definitely hard.

Im laughing at these results right now

as i read that people are fine with repairs and materia being class specific

remember how many people were going balls out saying that it was gonna be changed cuz thats what everyone wanted? LOL

Never was really "hard", just the levelprocess was slow to begin with. But hard? No.. i liked it, but i also like how it is now.

Yeah, I should amend my wording. The crafting itself wasn't hard, just the process of leveling crafts was far more time consuming.

Yeah.. by that i wonder if we get new Infos about Synth's from 2.0! I.e. what Yoshi mentioned about beeing able to just "cap" one crafting Class as soon as the levelcap will go up.
