Thread: Dagger AND Gun Jobs confirmed for Soon after 2.3 - don't fret!

I have every right to expect the class, as does every single player who's been waiting on it since 1.0.

You can expect whatever you want, but how is he making excuses when he never promised anything.

I think a lot of people are just annoyed that there are hints of a gun class in the game, but we haven't heard anything about it but really vague information. I'm sure if you've looked around limsa you've seen the banners with dual pistols on them, and that many NPCs carry a gun in a holster. Merlwyb uses guns as a weapon. It's teasing the players to the point that it's frustrating. Yoshi hasn't "promised" them, but people can't help it if they jump to the conclusion that we are getting a gun class at some point.

Get annoyed all you want, but don't be calling the man a lier and that he is making excuses for not adding the class or job. So childish.

Well then maybe he should take the guild out of limsa if he isn't going to add it.. >_>

Why should he remove it? He's still going to add it, he just didn't say when. He has never said it will be at the same time or before rogue, that's the community's own fault for making assumptions. It could still be before the expansion but after 2.4, at latest probably the expansion which should be soon ish.

He's been saying for much longer that a unique stealth class would be a higher priority than a gun class considering there's already a bow class and two other ranged DPS. I'm sure a gun class is coming soon, and you insulting him is not gonna make it happen any faster.

But saying for much longer stealth has been a priority I'm not so sure on I know he mentioned scout a few times but he also mentioned guns, dark knights and red mages as examples in other interviews. Unless of course you can link me to such an interview in which case my bad I just don't remember it being said.

I agree with it being a bit in the slap in face for people who have been waiting for a gun class since 1.0 like myself. I would not mind it not being released ( Ninja looked good btw! not hating on ninja) if you just gave us some sort of hint even a clue as to what direction you are taking it in just something, anything its been 4 years for some of us.

He did mention those yes. But he specifically mentioned a stealth class as being the priority class he wanted to implement first. Then a gun class after only cause the guild is already in game.

He's also already told us the gun class wouldn't be how we thought it was going to be. And given his most recent interview sawing it would be too similar to a Mage class playstyle it seems a given that it won't be a ranged physical Dps. Hence your counter falls apart.
