NEW JOBS!.....WHEN?

[Shikyo]

Okay I dont know if i am the only one worried about this or not, but I wanted to know has there been any straight forward talks about when there will be new jobs added. I googled and nothing.... I know that others are fine with the limited choice we have nown but come on 2 tanks is getting old fast. It seems SE doesnt consider this to be priority, but I do, am I alone?

All I ever see is talk about new hard modes and hairstyles. Okay housing was big, but seriously the prices make them a life time achievement, not something that adds to the value of your experience daily. Personally I want to see 1.Samurai 2.Ninja and 3.Rdm/Drk/Thf. I know everyone has their favorites, but atm I have yet to see a straight answer about jobs at all! What do you guys think do they need to start talkin jobs or am I alone here. Look at the server numbers dropping look at your fc losing ppl.

Musketeer can i have it?

When have you heard of an MMO releasing new classes in the first year? None that I know of at least. While there isnt any proof that i know of, there has been speculation of the Musketeer class. There is even a Musketeer guild somewhere apparently. Just be patient they are working on it. Im sure they are just having issues on balancing and figuring out how to add certain classes due to lore restrictions.

Sunah I understand that. I played ffxi for 6+ years. New jobs take time, but I have not heard anything at all except the smalllllll comments about musketeer, really musketeer. I am not demanding Jobs now, but to not at least have a mention of it is a bit crazy. Please show me if you have seen any significant conversation about jobs at all.

I don't know if it is the same for all servers but on this legacy server I have seen a enormous drop in players lately. People rush through content and quit, I think jobs would change that a little bit something bigger then new rehashes of primals and super modes of dungeons. Content is good doing the content with a new job would be great! I don't need anyone to defend the game, because I love it. I am a legacy player that could not wait for 2.0 after I spent all that cash on a disappointing 1.0. For me its just that I love the game, but I am dealing with the jobs. I was Samurai main in XI. I just can't fall in love with any of the current jobs.

This isn't in its first year! Tons of people were 50s off the jump!!!

A Realm Reborn was the relaunch of a failed MMO... why do you think they fired so many people... shutdown the servers and redid everything. It's the same world and all but thats about it.

I'd say that the people find the game boring because there really isn't much to do once you cap out for the week. Crystal Tower was fun the first few times but its way to forgiving of a raid. BC on the other hand can only be attempted once a week. So after that, there isn't much out there. Even if there were 20 more jobs.. you would just have 20 more jobs to do nothing with.

My guess would be that they would release new jobs around the first expansion.. which usually is around the year mark.

Personally I'm just messing around until Drk comes out

I can't find a source so I'm sorry. But Yoshi said the following things: Balance issues aside he would want to add Red Mage. Also he said that this game lacks a scout class (thief most likely). Thief will most likely be added first. I say this because there would be 3 melee and 3 ranged dps. Red Mage will most likely be a hybrid class that they talked about.

I for one can't wait for the eventual inclusion of Thief. Positional damage, extremely mobile and stealing items (perhaps with a very rare chance for good loot steals!) would be awesome.

Would make Thief much better than any other melee class because they can get a distinct economic advantage on other classes.

The Muskateer Guild is in Limsa Lominsa...you can see the Marquee for it...cannot remember where it is off the top of my head though...it is right next to one of the other guilds just on the other side of the room if I am remembering right...so that would probably be the next job introduced at year 1 expansion. If we got one sooner I would be totally shocked. I would like to see a RANGER version of Archer with higher DPS and lose all support abilities.
