Please let me play multiple classes.

One of the ends to which Crystal Tower is going to exist is to help support gearing up secondary classes. You'll be dungeoneering for gear that's better than darklight.

You just keep on helping my point, thank you.

You can't play more than 1 class, simple and you're just re-enforcing that. You can get your Relic and Full DL and that's it. That isn't going to change for months.

So basically you're crying because you can't max out multiple jobs all at once... do you have any idea how stupid of a business model it would be to allow your customers to finish everything all at once? That's what leads to "I'm bored" and quitting till the next expansion.

I'm even fine with the myth cap... but at least give us job specific coil lockouts!

I would love to tank for group 2 in my FC and be a backup DPS for Group 1 (for example). As it is now, there is little reason to play a second class after you have your DL gear and its a bummer. This game really lacks on content but allow us to experience it multiple times each week will really help with the boredom issue.

Its still 4 months to deck out in full i90, theres no reason we cant have split lockouts.

Sorry OP, I can not believe how many people are not getting the point. Seriously, there needs to be an IQ check to use the internet =\

Once you deck out ALL classes in darklight/2 star crafted gear, you can only level ONE of them with mythology gear - and it takes 2-3 weeks for a single piece. While you are gearing up ONE class, your others are sitting, unused because they already have the best possible gear besides mythology.

EVERY other MMO gets around this issue by letting you play multiple characters, letting you gear up all classes in the best gear at THE SAME TIME. This game, which the MAIN feature is that you DON'T have to make alternate characters do play different classes - but there's a catch! That's actually the only way to be able to play them to their full extent! And this game has two subscription models - one for the standard one character per server, and one for 8 characters per server. Essentially forcing you to pay more if you want to gear up multiple classes. *Don't* take that last sentence out of context, please. I know some people will.

So you have to pay more to do something you can do in any other MMO? 'kay.

FFXIV is one of the few MMOs that allows you to be multiple classes on the same character. In the majority of MMOs, your character is stuck on one class from start to finish, so I don't really understand what you mean when you say "something you can do in any other MMO." That's simply not true.

I can't do content with them like Coil because it's locked on all classes, I can't gear them because there is nothing to gear them with. They are stuck in limbo until Square lets me do something with them.

Do CT with them in the coming 2.1 update

Ok... I'm extremely confused by what this thread is talking about. I know it's some endgame stuff, and while I am quite enjoying my tradeskills, I'd like to know what's coming in my future since I intend to 50/max level everything I possibly can - I love dat grind!

Basically...
If you have One Character - that character can level 50 every job. The best set of gear in the game is the Mythology gear, and from what it looks like you are only able to obtain it as a ONE TIME deal. (I'm assuming that it's a one time quest chain and you have to do it on just one job?)

If you would like to do this "Coil" dungeon, it has a 1 week lockout/cool down per character - regardless of which job you decide to use that week?

Did I get this right?

....and the OP is mad because they can't switch jobs on one character to a job specific cooldown timer, or get the mythology gear on another job?

Hmmm... that sounds like standard rules for MMO as it's felt for the one's I've played ((Aion, EQ, WoW)) It would be nice tho, if they added an additional quest line to get another set of mythology gear -I'd certainly invest the grind time for it if that was an option.

[DenzelTaru]

oh nice.. for a second there i thought this was a serious thread.. then i clicked it and found it was another myth complaint thread..

i bought AF2 feet and hands for my SCH and now i have not bought anything since while i wait for enough to get relic+1 i have no difficulty getting in coil.. so why you think you need full 90 for coil i dont know.. full DL is an okay starter.. and if that isnt enough get HQ crafted gear and deck it out with materia..

or play another game til 2.1 and then gear yourself in crystal tower gear which i believe is gonna be I80?

[Garmasi]

While I've thought of this myself as I consider buying myth gear (should I *really* buy the PLD gear or will I like DRG more once I've leveled it?), I then think, well what the heck will I DO with that gear anyway, just stand around looking cool? Speedrunning more dungeons to the point of bland oblivion?

I think more important than gearing up multiple classes is offering far more challenging, satisfying content for level 50. Fights that insist on excellent mechanics and are more forgiving to gear, so you would be fine with your AK gear and any old weapon. I for one stopped even trying to get AF2 because it requires hours and hours of extremely boring and unchallenging gameplay.
