The game is way to Easy until you get to End Game

I figure that post-expansion there will be additional methods/places to level up. They can't make us take Dark Knight back through old 2.0 content, right?

At the fan Fest they mentioned something about players Entering a Code and you could start the game right away as a LV50 DRK.

I believe Yoshida was just toying with the idea, not that he was going to actually do it (probably a response to WoW with its instant LV90 button)

I sincerely hope he doesn't. People need to learn how to play their classes, not bumrush their way to endgame and have no clue how to play them.

This wont really help too many people leveling the new DPS classes either now will it? >__>

What, you think people learn a lot about how to play by doing FATE grinding? It's pretty trivial to get to level 50 without knowing anything. Also, leveling up doesn't teach you how to play. How you play at level 5, 15, 30, 45, etc. has little to do with how you play at level 50. Stuff pre-50 doesn't really prepare you for the mechanics-laden madness of endgame.

Most critically, an intelligent individual will learn how to play correctly even if you give them a max level character right from the get. Less intelligent people won't, no matter how much you handhold them, so I don't even know what your argument is here.

1. Limit the amount of participants on a FATE to 8 players (everyone after the 8th player joined have to wait or to search another FATE)
2. Balance the FATEs around a Full Party
3. Put more dungeon boss mechanics into the FATEs
4. problem solved

By playing the class with all their 20+ skills at endgame, and to fail, to learn, until you get it right, is more productive than to try to master 3 skills..

And like everyone that unlocked all jobs to the cap, doing the same stuff over and over, I might be tempted to click that button if it was offered.

I didn't understand it that way. From what I remember he said you'd register the game and be able to be a Dark Knight right from the start but he never said you'd instantly be level 50. They meant it more as an explanation that you do not start as a class and then unlock the job at lvl 30 for this job.

He said you'd unlock the class when you enter the key for the expansion. Not that it'd be level 50 right away.

Thats not even what I took away from it. What i remember was you will have access to the Jobs in 3.0 when you register. This is just my impression on what happens, you wont get access to 3.0 areas and story until you have caught up on the 2.0 story and completed it. Then you will have access to the zones and their content. you wont automatically have the new jobs but you will have access to the quest that unlocks the jobs but you would still have to unlock them. once unlocked they start at level 1 just without a starting class. (i'm positive they said jobs will start at 1 not 50) now will this mean there are level 1 zones in 3.0 areas or will you need to go back to 2.0 areas to level up?



Basically its speculation at this point so I dont see the need to theorize ourselves into a frenzy without more information. The forums already did this over the ROG/NIN implementation and it turned out fine (except for the fact there was only one class released but thats something completely different.) Oh and there was never a mention of "Classes" in 3.0 only Jobs
