remember, let people have fun!

heads up forum people, its true most of us are researching patch notes and the job guide to prepare for this expansion like were going to war, some of you are already mentally optimizing your rotations, ready to streamline things as much as possible and thats all well and good, but remember...

The average player is just gonna login and start playing,

they've read no patch notes or at most just skimmed them to learn where to go, and probably didnt take one peek at the job guide, they'll learn on the fly.

dont pop your top in the first dungeons because players are cranking out janky attacks,

its a game, lets all have fun most of all, the journey is the best part.

Agreed~ Hope you have a good Dawntrail experience!

no job really changed enough that people should become unable to play it in the first dungeon though

unless it's a viper or picto but i hope people would practice the job for a few minutes at least before joining groups with folks

but it will be down for 48 hours there isnt much excuse for not atleast skimming over the notes to take away key points from w/e your maining, have fun i agree but lets not excuse not reading or atleast skimming over things

I'm going to blacklist anyone who hasn't watched a guide for all content by 3 AM, that's more than enough time for the guide videos to be up.

i've kept myself in the dark when it comes to dawntrail so i know very little of what is being added i want to go into dawntrail with no expectations

i truly dont know whats waiting for me when the servers come back up except a graphics update 2 new jobs and changes to blackmage that everyone seems to hate

i will be eating crayons with one hand while i play with my other, you have been warned.

As long as I can eat the Legos

i sware though if I see a warrior sucking in anything I'm auto leaving with how over powered they are and them refusing to nerf them when they need it

What? Are you guys playing video games for fun? I am here to compensate all the sins our ancestors did in the past.

Some people avoid patch notes because they don't want ANY spoilers. So accept that there will be people who don't know what they are doing just like ALWAYS.

I can say as a novice tank that looking over warrior and dark knight just confuse me since most of it is just changes in potencies and stuff that isn't fully relevant yet to my level, could have been written by an alien :D and before 56 warriors aren't that unkillable if one is still learning good mitigation management and pull too much.
So i'll be having fun as what likely is considered an average player that over prepare.

Job changes ? Where ? All I see is one extra button press every 2min, and some more dumbing down (hey blm)...

Same procedure as any expansion:

Say hello at the beginning of the dungeon.
Ask if i need to pull everything or go slowly to enjoy the ride and see the beauty of the instance.
And make stupid jokes while telling people it's not a problem if/when they die and to just have fun.

you make a hard bargain, but its a deal!

Thanks for your public service announcement

Don't worry, jobs play on their own without much failure state those days anyway.

Oh so yes, at lvl 51. Dusk Vigil will rock you if you're not ready for it. It's very healer dependent at some parts.

looking at the job guide I'm honestly pissed now I planned and i still want to main viper and all that, got all the gear rdy etc but now looking at Pico job abilitys being so elementalish I am pissed didnt have any knowledge of that before servers went down or i woulda planned for pico instend...


and honestly why the hell is poetics still at 2k when we now have Arr-hw-stormblood-shb -ew gear in it lol poetics cap needs to be uped to 5k min


They raised the fate currency but poetics been needing an increase for years now...


honestly wish they would have told us the new job ability names last week

I am going to love and enjoy every second of viper so the only thing it changes is what order i do them in, but still If i knew picto was getting water/thunder/fire/air/stone AND blizzard + holy and black mage metor i would have prepared for that

I'm hype..my 1st experience On expansion release in this game,

I dont fuss over other players in most cases unless they're actively refusing advice and repeatedly making the same mistakes (i'm talking basic function rather than optimization, which is thankfully a rare occurrence, since most folks encountered ingame are chill or open about that sorta stuff), and it's always good to see others along for the ride on story.

I started playing during 6.3 so this is going to be my first time playing during a new expac's launch. I'm honestly very excited to have a msq experience where I've not been spoiled to anything for the first time! And I'm interested in Solution 9 and whatever's going on with that for potential wol backstory ideas lol.
