Players connot join the party while you are engaged in combat

I think changing skill/role while in combat allow many strategy into game. Just like FF13 role changing, which is good in my opinion.

the only time i really feel you should be allowed to change skill/role in combat is if the party engages and you are a dol or doh you should be able to change once to a dom or dow.

Don't see why you would want to impose this pointless limitation, other than the need to address small exploits (like popping defender on MRD then switching class) I see no game-breaking justification for reducing flexibility.

i personally don't have a problem with it, but i see it caused multiple issues on other games(mainly people are talking about xi). i just felt by adding that exception someone could actually be able to engage in battle instead of standing around for a 20 minute nm battle and not even be able to cast a heal to help cause dol/doh cannot even heal just because they forgot they were repairing someone's armor before porting out.

I would be hesitant on changing classes during the fight. Fighting a mob tank dies => dd changes to tank => tank unweakens gets hate back => dd changes back to dd.

sorta would make things really easy if you could just cover for who died, I sorta like the cannot change class while engaged. Ability's you can change as long as you are not engaged so I see nothing wrong there. It would be a nice thing with armory system, but there would have to be a horrible penalty to stats after a switch for it not to be abused, like all dmg delt halved, cures halved, and dmg taken doubled for 3mins.

I sorta hate the cannot disband or join when engaged I know why it is there but it is still annoying. The instances where people forget to save the node on a nm fight or someone dcs in a big fight has happened to my linkshell multiple times.

actually you can change abilities even while engaged to a mob. just go into passive mode in the middle of battle and you can do that just like normal.

i was not talking about going from pug to gla because the gladiator died. i was referring to going to any battle class from crafting or gathering class. it would be a one time change from a non battle to a battle class, but not change between battle classes. it would be helpful if someone forgot to change main hand tools while setting abilities or doing repairs when someone engaged.
