Jump Potion...again

[AureliusDraconium]

I think they should just add the potion to the cash shop. I would like to buy all my jobs and even crafting classes. I have several hundred bucks saved up for this. :P **whale alert**

If they think jump potions are going to bring more people into the game they are sadly mistaken....at least in WoW if you use a jump potion you can steamroll old raids for mounts. You can participate in its current PvP content if that's your thing. You don't have to work to get bag space or pay tons for all the riding skills for mounts. It's very beneficial. What do you get for jumping in FFXIV? Nothing much but a level 60 and a chocobo. I just feel FFXIV has a dedicated niche group of players even for a mmo and not that many people will go crazy for the potion to play anyway...since the aspect of grinding and story appeals to many players of this game

OP,

[TaranTatsuuchi]

I said why in the OP. It was in an RECENT interview with Yoshi and they are still monitoring public opinion. Why would they dig up a months old post to find out what the community thinks NOW?

Well, I do believe the Japanese forums keep all discussion on a topic in the same thread, no matter the age.

Keeps it all in one nice easy to look up place.

No jump potions. Not at this juncture. Eventually it will become necessary, but as it is now, it is not.

MSQ helps people learn their jobs through dungeons and instances where mechanics are repeated over and over not through fetch quest. But the leveling potion would skip both

They could, and bear with me here, give jump potions to subs who have already gotten a healer, tank and dps to 60. Only these people. Not new people, just people who have already actively shown they've at least bothered to do the MSQ and levelled their three major classes to 60.

Make two different jump potions. One for battle classes and one for crafting classes. Get a gatherer and crafter to 60 to unlock the other one. Not that you even need a levelling potion for crafting when you have 100 leves and two beast tribes to help get you to 60....

Treat it like mentoring.

"I really want to play Final Fantasy XIV but I also want to skip 90% of the content"
To each their own I guess, me when I started playing XI last year was like "look at all this content I get to do!" but I guess people aren't into that these days...
I wonder how many of these people who said they wont play until they can skip to end game will stick around if Stormblood ends up being the same grind as ARR and HW?

XIV should survive of its own niche audience of people who know what they're getting into. Please don't ruin this game ;c

I dont know man, im playing like a couple of months now and i was in duty finder recently with people twice as much geared then myself (im gimping at 145 now, leveling all my DoH and DoL since weeks, almost there ) and it happned twice that i pull aggro from offtank/tank and similiar things. I learned my class through the how to dps thread here and couple of videos

well from how wow has done it as well as figure out ways to teach new players, jump pots could work. they recently put up a class trials where you can try out the class 10 lvls below the max level, at 100. it teaches you the basic rotation as well as give you the feel of the class. if you like the class you use the boost and bam you are lvl100 and on to the legion. FF could due the same where the have new players enter the halls of novice and be taught the basic rotation of the class/job they are trying out. if they like the class/job, they start at lvl 50 and work their way up to 70 with stormblood. plus the cost to the said lvl boost that wow has is actually expensive. Last i checked each boost cost $60 each. So don't worry if you thought the jump pots will be like $15 or $30. If the devs were to put jump pots they should provide a free 1 to everyone who buys stormblood. if u want more, $60 please

MSQ teaches people almost nothing. Even less, if you do not count the Hall of Beginners, which was implemented not that long ago. I mean, why did even implement this almost 2 years after release, if the MSQ already "teaches" people how to Play? It's because MSQ is very, very bad at this.

They throw even worthless element materia at you and want you to find out that they're are utterly worthless on your own.
Although every damn single healer MSQ or class quests teaches you that you should do dps... still we got hundreds of hundreds people arguing and denying that this is the meta since the beginning.

We still got ice mages, so I heard. And Bards not playing their songs (why should they, they're completly worthless in every single player MSQ or class quest [maybe refreshing TP in AoE Situation is ok]). Healers/Caster only using their biggest spell, because they think "Oh, lololol, that's what I did in every other FF game, only casting my biggest Fire-Spell in chain, if enemies are vulnerable to this element.".. Does anything in the game (beside tooltips) teach you that this FF is different?

Rotation? Read the tooltips and figure out yourself that Lancer until lvl 20-so-and-so only does his buff and then instead of a rotation only this one skill.

Yeah, but a jump potion would ruin player skill... seems you're playing a different game or read different forums.
You'll still have a learning progression from easy->hard dungeons and you will still repeat them over and over again. This is FF14.
