Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[Onidemon]

For the love of feral's continuing sanity..for the love of all lance lovers out there...don't vote for a pet....PLEASE.

See? This is why WOW's talents system is so great. Because it gives you the option of doing what YOU want. Play the way YOU want. SE tried to do something similar with Jobs as they become a specialization but you can still stay on a regular class and mismatch abilities but it is not as advanced as WOW's talent system.

WOW's version of a Dragoon would go something like this...

1st tree would be pet focused.... you can summon a Wyvern to fight by your side and you get passive and active abilities that enhance your pet's power.

2nd tree would be a lancer build where you have no pet but have very powerful attacks and jumps

3rd tree would probably be a tanking tree, with decent damage and heavy defense.

You can chose to play a Dragoon if that is what interest you most and with a talent tree you can chose to play the way you want. You don't need to be a Paladin to tank, you can tank with other classes using such a system since it enables different classes to fit different roles. You can even make hybrids.

I know i'll get hated by all the FFXI for making this post but i can't help to think that such a system or something similar would give us so much more freedom and individuality. My Dragoon doesn't need to be an exact copy of yours, i can do my own thing!

You can disagree all you want, ppl want Dragoon as it is like now.

I do disagree and hope that us wyvern lovers are able to have them again. This time not so useless/cute looking. If its just going to be old xi's wyvern then no I agree I don't want that at all. Give us our new wyvrens with intimidating looks, fun combos, and control over the scaley beasts.

well that's just the NA forums, id like to see the JP forums. Personally i would like to see a pet, especially because of how it could set WAR from DRG other then one jumps and the other doesn't. Also still too many people who only think of FFXI as an example and dont think out of the box. I love the idea that it could grow and become a DRG mount....i would kill for that...my partner in crime and my ride...hell yah.

have you not looked at past Dragoons? if FFXIV's version does not have a pet, it would then have some of the other classic Dragoon abilites, breaths, lancet, dragon magic, all those would set it apart from Warrior

Zanfire is one of those people who has the "FFXI Tunnel Vision". No point in trying to reason with him.

As of this post...

61 against the implementation of a pet for Dragoon.

17 supporting the implementation of a pet for Dragoon.

I think we have a sufficient poll sample to call it: The majority of players do not want Dragoon altered this late in development to have a pet. On top of that, doing a 180 in the middle of development of the jobs is going to delay patch 1.21.

I'm sure Yoshi-P doesn't want the entire player base mad at him; the same should go to the lot of you who continue to advocate for dragoon pets. Do you want to be ostracized as the "lolDRG" because you convinced Yoshi-P to change the job to something that has a negative social connotation to it simply because your demands delayed the f*cking patch?

I would rather have Dragoon without the Wyvern. I loved FFXIs version but I want the classic Dragoon back.

Right, we don't need a repeat of FFXI's class/jobs here, I'd rather see a fresh take on the second MMO of Final Fantasy.

And that means getting to play a new version of Dragoon that doesn't feel like a copy-paste of XI's Dragoon.

I want to see a Dragoon that does this, not the pet/wyvern.

[Volsung]

I simply want to be a Kain Highwind, Freya Crescent, and FFTA drg baby.

Thats it, no pet, just pure awesomeness and dragon themed abilities.

Those who do not want Wyverns as a class pet for Dragoon, should plug this into their sig, if they have room.
