Jobs start @50?

[popdai]

Another rage raiser post from our lovely software house: SE! Do you think with a post like this you will make people happier???

The new job system as you described it, is BULLSHIT!
We can make new players start from rank.... ehm.... level 50 from the very beginning, so you can delete all low levels contents....
I'm tired of waiting weeks for a damn news and then read these posts which can only raise rage more and more!

Transparency is a word you probably never ever seen....
The only thing that keeps people here is that the game is free to play atm....

My 2 cents.

So if your 50 GLA, you can be a 50 PLD. Well, what happens if they let u have access to PLD before 50? If I'm 30 GLA and become a 30 PLD, does both the GLA and PLD lvl raise together if I play one? And if not at 30, 50+. Does playing the PLD job raise the main GLA class? Also goes to future jobs if they add more branching from the GLA, or will we not be able to lvl under a job, just the class itself?

your job is equipped to your class
you dont level your job, PERIOD
itl always be the level of your class

also note, you dont have to equip a job, so you can still be just a gladiator too

PLD doesn't have lvls. It's just a "tag" you slap onto your GLA. So whatever lvl your GLA is, the PLD is the same. The only thing it is is that with your PLD "tag" equipped, you get adjustments to your skillset, possibly gear, attributes, etc.

Matsui's blueprint indicated that jobs would have abilities gained from quests.

There is job progression, but it's apparently not based on experience grinding.

I am sure SE knows about all these problems people are bringing up. They would have to be completely ignorant if they didn't catch the idea that the system felt like...
(a.)so now that I already have 50 GLD, I can just do the quest and I instantly have PLD at level 50?!
(b.)Now that I have a free 50 PLD I don't feel a since of accomplishment...

I say, NAY. SE has already stated there will be alternative ways of progressing Jobs. Including questing for specific ability's. For all we know the legendary Scroll quests we had in FFXI might make it's return in ffxiv. No one knows, but that's exactly why we should take this info with a grain of salt, and take only what was given in terms of information.

Now we know that, jobs are in direct correspondence with classes, and that at the moment there is only a 1-1 class/job ratio. However, it's very possible this could open up for further introduction of classes.

I like the idea, and I am excited to see the further more detailed implementations. ^^ Great job SE!

Some sort of merit system would be a good addition for capped jobs.

[Peregrine]

Eh, the cap raise will come soon enough. First fifty levels were more of a game tutorial anyway, not so much LEARN YOUR JOB NUB.

Eh, the cap raise will come soon enough.

I hope so too but how can you know <_<?

[popdai]

If SE have plans for job system, why don't they explain them instead of giving us these damn little and unclear news?????

Don't they understand these things make people more angry?
