Job Dungeons

[Gramul]

I don't. That will be content a lot people will not experience because it's too restrictive. Plus you have to leave behind your friends that don't have a certain job leveled.

Well it's a good thing I can level any job I want with 1 character.

True, but not everyone wants to level every class. I wouldn't want class specific dungeons, but achievments for doing it with a single class would be nice. Or a step further, have a check at the end of a certain dungeon, if all jobs are the same, a special boss of that job spawns with rare drops for that job.

I'd love melee/magic only chambers with jobs locked in dungeons, but only if there are 1-2 things for the left out jobs to do...Something like the traps in AC from GW2, that way the magic users don't just sit around doing nothing or whacking a mob for tiny amounts of damage in melee chambers and vice versa.

Then they shouldn't feel bad about not participating in a dungeon that would require and reward a job they don't use or have no interest in.

I don't quite see the dilemma here. The system would only be as restrictive as the players restrict themselves. I mean, you're already missing out on ARC quests, gear, and game play if you just play as a PLD. What's the harm of a dungeon that cam change "enemy layout/boss weaknesses/rewards/pathways"?

Oh right, because everyone will level all the classes and jobs--oh wait...

Why would they have to? If you don't want to level a job, why do you want to participate in a dungeon made specifically for it?

because thats wasted resources?

Resource police! :P

Its hardly wasted resources when the resources are 90% complete (recycling). If they designed one time content that was highly exclusive I could see this argument moving further, though honestly where did the resource counting birth from? Yoshida can tell us what resources he has available, for all we know (.0001% likely) Yoshida has a whole team sitting on their thumbs waiting for someones idea. That and I'm sure he has a list of rainy-day ideas.

Well, you can recycle those resources and use the same assets to make different fights for each job. But a party consisting of a single job sounds kinda silly. I'd rather be seeing a solo fight that's challenging and is tailored to that job's strengths and weaknesses. XI did have a handful of solo boss battles, most of which varied depending on the job you used.
