Jobs start @50?

[Sorel]

He said the system is 1-1, class/job. Meaning GLD>PLD..etc.

Bayohne never said that, nor implied that.

Spoke to the dev. team to try and wrangle some more details regarding the upcoming job system. The current thinking is to have one job for one class. So for example, if you are a gladiator, the job you could unlock would be paladin, etc. Right now, we can't give any further details about the possibility of having multiple jobs per class.

To try and stave off the coming flood of "So if gladiator becomes paladin, then what will xyz class unlock?" You'll have to stay tuned for more details in the future!

Jobs won't have levels and as such won't need to be leveled up. Jobs are an advanced form of the class that unlocks them. So for example purposes, a level 50 Gladiator would be a level 50 Paladin. (Example only!)

Also we can confirm that we'll be changing the term "ranks" (as in rank 50 Pugilist) to "levels" (as in level 50 Pugilist) along with the removal of the physical level. We'll also be changing skill points to experience points.

In summation:
Rank > Level
Skill points > Experience points

Please also keep in mind that there are still many unannounced details regarding the job system and I was only speaking to a specific question that was being asked/was a point of confusion. I suggest waiting for further announcements for more intricate details.

He saying we'll have to wait to see if a Class will be able to have more than one Job. So let's wait before we throw ourselves over cliffs like Thelma & Louise, OK?

. . . Selective reading, much? Look two sentences before the first one you bolded.

Here, I'll help:

Lol and that's why i said [B]right now[B] as in, for the time being.. Meaning as you can read in the original post "The current thinking is to have one job for one class. So for example, if you are a gladiator, the job you could unlock would be paladin, etc." Sure there is high likely hood in the future more jobs will be tied to perspective classes.

Touché, Pussy Cat!

But it looks like selective reading is working both ways.

The current thinking is to have one job for one class.

Right now, we can't give any further details about the possibility of having multiple jobs per class.

These two statements seem to counter to each other. We would need the Mighty Bayohne himself to square this up, it seems. Which I believe he will ... at the later date he promises.

I wouldn't say they do. One says that the current plan is such, the other says that they can't give any more details about the future.

I think the dev wants us to think the current (and most likely at release) is the 1-1 system. However, branching out is highly possible and "cannot be discussed". Give or take.

Basically, Bayohne should have never said that 50 GLA is a 50 PLD. But he did say that basically, Jobs do not have levels. So what Bayohne should have said was that your Job is emphasized on your Rank than it being its own separate class.

Jobs will not be a grind, but there will be ways to obtain skills and become familiar with them as you are working towards earning your other skills (via questing, etc.).

You will never see in-game:
GLA Level:50
PLD Level:50

Most likely will be
GLA Level:50
Job: Paladin

As Paladin (for example) won't be a grind, you will probably have to find a group to help you earn your Paladin Skills, or at least the more advanced skills. Who knows at this point, but what people need to realize is that Jobs WILL NOT have levels.

Its been said plenty of times before. Its pretty much like a Title that locks you into your class and job for enhanced party play. Its not that hard to understand.

I wouldn't say they do. One says that the current plan is such, the other says that they can't give any more details about the future.

But think about what you believe to be the current plan. Then think about the Disciples Of Magic. Do you think they are going to make Conjurers only be able to use the White Mage Job and not the Black Mage Job? Or vice versa?

When it comes to the mages, a single Job for a single Class doesn't make any sense. Unless they move approximately 17 abilities between the two Classes AND completely change the lore for both of them.

I don't think their doing that, but I could always be mistaken. It wouldn't be the first time.

Like I said in another thread, just because it's true doesn't mean it's a good idea.

One thing is for sure for me anyways... whatever Job I'll be I'll still be wearing my subligar... take my subligar away and I'm going after the devs.
