Why not abolish the Class system entirely in favor of Jobs? [@ Devs]

[Shougun]

Hmmm... Perhaps some new lore can be introduced into ARR that tes things together... I don't know. If it was ever to be done, Yoshi would find a way to do it. It would take quite a lot of work tooling it in, though.

For classes you pretty much wouldnt do anything to the lore. However for (adv. jobs) BLM you'd have to build up a beginning lore and abilities/skills.

It wouldn't be something you (dev team) could finish quickly. But it would allow jobs shine better/differently.

I suggested this idea in another thread before - but also said it might be too late for such a change (not enough time).

I understand what you mean, but the change you suggest simply doesn't fit the lore, as the blm story is deeply ingrained within the Thaumaturge story.

Also, you're suggesting a *massive* increase to the grind involved in the game, and the sole idea is honestly staggeringly bad.

I dont see why you think there are lore breaks. Yes BLM relates to THM and it can continue to do so in lore, just like child relates to parent but doesnt have to be the same (real life).

Rates of leveling would be determined on the system used not everything is plug and play - its a big change I know that.
