Job System Timeframe

[kukurumei]

and gear. and weapons. and balancing. and new skills. and new animations. and new balancing.

i did include balancing twice for a reason. they will not get it right the first time and will take multiple attempts. all of the things i listed are new stuff to be hard coded in not just selecting things. that being said i still do not believe they will have the new jobs out in this patch. they may have them out by the end of summer, but i feel so much new stuff added will lead to major balancing issues i do not think they are capable of handling at one time.

animation, gear, and weapons, etc....are all part of battle systems.

The job system itself is just plain old stats and skills you group together.

Sure you want to have animations...but then even without the job we want new animations (oooh spinning circle works for everything right?)

And more or less the skills are already there.

Nothing really hardcoded is directly associated with a job system. It's simply a tree diagram in all simplicity. A really complex puzzle in details. That's where all the problems are.

This one is one thing they can't code their way out of. It is good old fashion brain power.
