    The moment I hit White mage I had no choice, there are a few skills I can pick and done.
    All the fun abilities where gone.

    White mage is in every way superior in healing over a conjurer.
    They might as well have given WHM swift cast and virus and there would be no difference.
    classes are supposed to be used while questing/leveling hence the utility.
    jobs are for all the group content, that's why they lack utility but gain strength in their domain.


    ]- Not enough cross job skills to toy around with
    not yet

    No quests to do on the second job, also less gil.
    well...maxing out all classes in two months would just be silly, wouldn't it...


    I hope it will receive some polish myself since it feels more like jobs got tagged on than well thought out.
    don't worry about that. look at any MMO in it's first month and then look at it a couple of months/years later...

    FATE leveling alt classes is very fast, since you get a bonus. Way faster than leveling your main through quests. It's just not fun and comes off as bad game design to build the leveling system around it.

    true, and hopefully an oversight by the dev team. i can't really imagen that fate grinding in it's current state was intended. especially in comparison to the other avaible level content.
    what i meant however was leveling by the same quests you did with your first class, which is already way too fast for my taste..

    Pretty much this, doing anything else besides fates slows you down.
    If the quests would reset I would be questing and ignoring most fates, it's a lot slower but more fun.


    I also think fates should be porting you to an instance and group people up.
    That way some might be actually fun, perhaps up the difficulty as well.
    Some of those fate bosses are really fun and deserve a bit more.

    It's just becoming boring when you got 50 to 100 people zerging the hell out of anything that moves.
    Not uncommon to see like 10 to 15 holy balls going up every few seconds during a fate.
    It's just a spamfest and not even nice for your eyes.

    I suppose an alt would be fun, but I just can't believe that farming fates for all your jobs is how they intended it.
    Let alone consider this to be remotely fun.
