[Dev1058] General Job Petetions and Discussion

[SilvertearRen]

Job Petition: Soldier

Because all Disciples of War are technically "warriors", and the name "Fighter" is just too generic a thing to call a Job that's supposed to be a specialization, I'd like to see the Soldier job return as the non-mystical, non-rogueish, purely physical-skills based Job that takes the place of Warrior/Fighter in FFXIV. Considering the coming conflict in Eorzea, there would be a need for them.

That's GLADIATOR, dipstick.

Seriously guys, stop this retarded garbage. It's cluttering up the forums. The devs already have plans for jobs, and it's pointless to be making suggestions right now. Just be quiet and wait.

Remember the DAT leaks on the jobs like Arcanist, Fencer, Musketeer, etc?

THOSE ARE THE JOBS. DEAL WITH IT.

*quietly stares in annoyance*

Seriously? Mystic = Summoner. Arcanist = Bard. This is just one big troll clusterf*ck. Cut it out, guys.

You guys are not game developers. And your suggestions are patently absurd at this point in time. They didn't ask for job suggestions, so don't pile it on. All you're doing is creating annoyances.

No offense, but the only annoyance here is you. People would really like to see these jobs added and we have no guarantee that they will add them all, so people are merely suggesting the ones they would like to see.

Chill out.

No those are Weapon Classes.

Arcanist is an unknown.

Fencer uses fencing swords (Right now Gladiator only uses short swords and daggers)

Musketeer uses guns.

Weapon Class =/= job

/sigh i know this will be sarcastic but the self-proclaimed hall monitors are in effect.

i started the original one only because i KNOW that someones request for an obscure job will be lost on page 11. sucks for them i guess...

since this is the 'socially approved' manner.. so be it.. i +1 on sam /sadface

they will still be lost actually, because unless someone keeps bumping these threads they will disapear, honestly i dont have a good solution for this, probably an offsite poll, but people wouldnt bother.

Maybe you don't have the ability to put yourself in the developers' shoes. Can you imagine trying to overhaul a combat system, while having the community naggering away in your ear with all sorts of redundant-ish suggestions that they didn't ask for?

My point is this: If they aren't asking us for suggestions, don't give them suggestions that are pointless, redundant and a waste of oxygen.

Here are the jobs that are OBVIOUSLY going to come to the game: Fencer, Musketeer, Mystic (Summoner?), Arcanist (Bard?), Samurai, and Dragoon. Those are the combat jobs that are clearly going to be planned for the game at some point in the future. It's collaborated by DAT leaks and pre-existing NPCs (there are NPCs called Dragoons around the game, and they are Ishgardian in origin).

So that said, just save us the headaches and just not clutter up the forums with job suggestions. Just because Matsui announced that there will be a job system, doesn't mean he has no ideas on what jobs to implement. He already has a plan, and it's pretty much well along in development - if we're going to be making suggestions, make them with the mental note that they will NOT be implemented in this dev cycle unless it's already been planned by the dev team.

That is to say, Matsui has already decided on what jobs will be implemented in this first dev cycle. Any new suggestions will be ignored. The only chance a viable suggestion would get implemented, would be in the form of an expansion. So if you're going to make a suggestion, make it with the exception that you will never see it implemented for at least a year.

This will help prevent unnecessarily raised expectations that will lead to a massive disappointment when the new jobs are announced. Seriously, you people are like 13-year olds...

the irony is.. i AM a developer. feedback like this is as valuable as gold.

and yes... devs will read this... they (we) love to know what's in the mind of those whom are 'noisy'.

also... a dev would then have the ability to search for [1058] Job Petition

a bard plays instuments and mystics have time moves if i remember right...
