Any update on Musketeer.

[nankura]

I see talk here from legacy player's saying that they need more leveling content, and certainly i agree that they need more content to play through and i understand the amount of work that has been put in over the past 2-3 year's into the game itself.

adding more story, more dungeon's, and new classes would be plenty appropriate for you legacy player's

But at the same time i do NOT think a level cap raise right now is smart, you cant just "raise" level cap's and not have new content at the same time.

You cant just raise the level cap without content. you need to add content for the level cap to be justified and appeal to player's, giving them a reason to level and play the new content

Raising the cap now or even in the next phew month's would be a huge slap in the face

But at the same time the general population and a large majority of the population are new, still leveling, still getting geared, still doing dungeons and working on all the level 50 content.

sorry for the double post, damn post length limit

There are plenty of server's with only 1-2 guilds that have actually got mythology sets and have cleared coils

So i agree new classes are a must, but level cap raising is something that need's to be heavily considered before an addition like that

Means they may or may not raise it (High Probability that it will happen). But vague is vague ( SE finest trait!) Besides, to some people this game is 3 years old and should get a cap raise sometime soon 2.1 or 2.2.

Besides Yoshi said it himself:



Because of all the legacy players having level 50 jobs. Which makes me believe, he wants to give Legacy players "leveling content" and not wait to expansions when they normally happen. ( Probably get more Jobs anyhow come expansion time)

Musketeer is already in the game prepared and all, just needs the NPC and quests that revolve around Musketeer.

I'm pretty sure they've stated they'll raise the level cap in an expansion and we're not going to see an expansion until 3.0

And I do agree with you, that it should and probably will come in an expansion. It's just the thought he mentions in the interview that he will probably have classes/job and level cap raise come at the same time, and he said they will be coming out through patches. That's what kinda throws what I am saying out on the table and discuss about it.

If they were planning on releasing another class and level cap increase... don't you think they would have brought that up? I mean people are leaving the game every day because there isn't anything to do. A level cap increase and new job would be something to keep people interested... also releasing CT with a level cap increase is more of a joke than people doing it with all i90 gear... Not to mention they brought up stuff that is going to be in 2.2-2.3 in the last live letter...

So much is wrong with even bringing up the fact that it could be in 2.1. "Patches" yes, but obviously not this one.

Musketeer like arcanist was planned back in 1.0. So they probably have much of the this already worked out. I would say balancing the class is probably the big thing.

1.0 was a very long time ago.

Considering the changes that were made to several of the current classes pre-ARR, its very likely that whatever plans they had for Musketeer back in 1.0 are not relevant anymore. Arcanists themselves had their class weapon changed.

[Alberel]

2.1 has kinda become the 'should have been in at release' patch so I strongly doubt any new classes/jobs will be coming in that one.

2.2, however, is going to focus on Shiva and the Gigas which makes it likely to also contain the other regions of Coerthas... if they plan to up the cap by 5-10 levels so soon after release they'd have to do it alongside new regions and 2.2 would be a prime candidate for that imo.

Correct, The guild is in place already. The guild itself has been around since 1.0 days. (3 years ago). Summoner/Scholar still came before Musketeer XD. I think The "class/Job" thing he was referring to is what is already in the game currently. ( which is again Musketeer.)

They don't even have to raise the cap to put in Musketeer. If not in 2.1 then most likely 2.2.

I think things are complicated by the fact that Musketeer guild was in the game when it was only a class. The fact that putting Musketeer in the game requires one or more jobs to go with it, makes it a bigger deal -- and in my opinion less likely to come in 2.1 :/

I was more commenting on a level cap raise before an expansion. My point was level cap won't be happening in 2.1 or 2.2. Also we kind of know what will be in 2.1 if there's a new class anytime soon it'd definitely be in 2.2. Again, that's if it's happening anytime soon. :P

Waiting on news for this too. I'm dying for Musketeer, and have waited (im)patiently for three years now.

Us 1.0 players who started in Limsa got teased the worst. That storyline quest cutscene where they actually give you a gun for all of 15 seconds before taking it back? Ugh.

Give me my gun back!
