Jobs start @50?

[Zenaku]

Technically you've already leveled the basic class, the job only entails the appearance and some extra abilities. You'd really want to level up fist weapons all over again be my guest. :P

I level it 2times and level it up again due to rerolling so yes it not a issue.

1: First Char elvaan 37pug 20lancer 20mrd few level 15 craft
2: Hume 44 pug level 25 ARM 20mrd 15lancer 15conj 15 black smith 10 black smith
3: Elvaan : 19pug 10blacksmith and few other craft "Last reroll"

So ya i think jobs and class should be by itself not together pretty much you can level all the class to 50 and have all the jobs to 50 o.o but w/e i can care less at this point i just want them to fix the dam game.

They didn't say anything about level cap increase and new classes, and we probably won't have it till expansion, which maybe be fall or winter. If you have nothing to do for 6 months, may as well put the game down til then.

Or they actually make people grind those jobs up to 50, then it will be something to do.

my point is, the job system is to make unique playstyles for party play, not to add new leveling syncs. Just because a few rare people have leveled all classes doesnt mean they should make normal people regrind the exact same job with slight tweaks.

pld is going to be almost identical to a glad who uses mostly shield skills, sub cures, heavy armor and a few damage skills. why would someone want to have to do the exact same thing for 50 levels, just use 4 new skills. It makes no sense.

Yes it sucks for people who want to level stuff that their is no cap increase or new jobs in 12 months, but that is the only real solution for those people anyhow. But dont worry, cap raise is basically already prepared. they have had the content for a cap increase since this game came out. they have the mobs, they have the leves, they have the behests, they have the gears, so basically they just have to flip a switch. likely it wont come till ps3 release though, a long with other content they are saving to repitch the game.

you just like leveling stuff, thats fine, but the whole world should not be built around someone who wants to level a job 2x for like 3 new skills, and some stat adjustments

In the world of time sinks, maybe you should.

They're obviously not going to give you content in place of time sinks.

They could even allow you to call your Companion to fight at your side while solo to fill a needed role like cures or tank.

I'd like to see the path companion become more useful overall. Of course, there's the issue with you already choosing your companion's class, but I guess that can be worked around. More choices for appearance would be nice too...

[Serio]

I see what you are saying in the solo vs. party situation but honestly if SE made some decent content like for solo players to group up in easy then this wouldn't even be an issue. If they did something like campaign or redid the Leve system then solo would be viable. They could even allow you to call your Companion to fight at your side while solo to fill a needed role like cures or tank.

This is somewhat true to the extent that the game would then become FFXI-2. However, the content designed for solo players is the class system itself. Aside from the fact that Campaign would be cool (which let me lvl RDM to 75 w/o being a refresh/haste whore), leves are already soloable, behest allows you to hop right into a group, and a Companion isn't really needed to fill any role because you can tank/cure/DD by yourself on any class.

I say that the class system is designed for solo players because if you take away the overlapping party member bonus, the light/max party buffs, and leve linking (especially under Guardian's Aspect), soloing and partying levels out in reward. (Remember back in the day when none of these existed?) The Jobs system is essentially another party bonus to add to the big book of party bonuses, but yet it's somehow an "issue" that classes are optional.

Because that's what's really happening. They're scrapping the classes and recreating them as jobs. Just like a lot of people wanted. Except that classes are optional. And I really think that doing some quick quest (cause everything in this game is quick) to unlock the jobs and abilities isn't asking too much considering how ridiculously easy this game is if you're always in a party.

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.

what happens to my EXP from physical level?

they should do quest like this long as hell, like in EQ1 cuz there more to it than just killing 10 mobs.
