The game is way to Easy until you get to End Game

[KingOfAbyss]

I sincerely hope he doesn't. People need to learn how to play their classes, not bumrush their way to endgame and have no clue how to play them.

By playing the class with all their 20+ skills at endgame, and to fail, to learn, until you get it right, is more productive than to try to master 3 skills..

And like everyone that unlocked all jobs to the cap, doing the same stuff over and over, I might be tempted to click that button if it was offered.

At the fan Fest they mentioned something about players Entering a Code and you could start the game right away as a LV50 DRK.

I didn't understand it that way. From what I remember he said you'd register the game and be able to be a Dark Knight right from the start but he never said you'd instantly be level 50. They meant it more as an explanation that you do not start as a class and then unlock the job at lvl 30 for this job.

He said you'd unlock the class when you enter the key for the expansion. Not that it'd be level 50 right away.

Thats not even what I took away from it. What i remember was you will have access to the Jobs in 3.0 when you register. This is just my impression on what happens, you wont get access to 3.0 areas and story until you have caught up on the 2.0 story and completed it. Then you will have access to the zones and their content. you wont automatically have the new jobs but you will have access to the quest that unlocks the jobs but you would still have to unlock them. once unlocked they start at level 1 just without a starting class. (i'm positive they said jobs will start at 1 not 50) now will this mean there are level 1 zones in 3.0 areas or will you need to go back to 2.0 areas to level up?



Basically its speculation at this point so I dont see the need to theorize ourselves into a frenzy without more information. The forums already did this over the ROG/NIN implementation and it turned out fine (except for the fact there was only one class released but thats something completely different.) Oh and there was never a mention of "Classes" in 3.0 only Jobs

:/ That is not what he said at all. He just said that MAYBE you will be able to be Dark Knight right away. Dark Knight will not have a class, but they never said anything about being level 50 right off the bat.

Some of us have lives, unlike some entitled hardcore elitists. Thanks SE for making the dungeons accessible for the majority, and not just the 1%.

It's a safe bet for now that he won't do it. If he said back then that he WAS going to, the forums would have exploded back then.

The dungeons are suppose to slowly scale and let you learn, but maybe the learning process is a bit too slow on the way to 50? Would it be very difficult to slightly adjust the dungeons? Give out more environmental challenges \ the mobs have a bit nastier abilities. Or would that be too much stuff to re-do just for low level..heck even in 50 dungeons it would be nice to see something more and a few nasty abilities to mobs.

What I would love also, and i'm sure it's a bit out of topic is low level roulette you can party up in. Since we're getting a few more jobs in 3.0. I would love to level a job with a few friends, or when you're at 50 and they want some help..get your roulette bonus..or maybe that's asking too much.

Game was easier to level in 1.0 actually (See Levequests.)

Make that WAR pt's haha.

Anyway, I honestly think the curve is fairly good for increasing difficulty. The first 2-3 dungeons have very minor mechanics, then Brayflox hits you and you have to know to kill adds quickly, avoid frontal cone AoE, break out of gaols, and keep a boss out of it's own AoE. That's just one example.

Also, a lot of mechanics in BC are actually similar to ones you encounter from earlier dungeons. They may hit harder/be less forgiving, plus they have ones that are new, but you can still use what you learned before to progress.

I'm not sure how the devs will handle new progression, as leveling is already pretty easy/fast (still not as easy as FFXI now, or 1.0, but still). Maybe there will be changes to the loot system or something to motivate players to do them.

Also, on the point of "not wanting more lvl50 dungeons", you have to understand that getting all DoW/DoM to 50 can be done quite quickly, but then what? Adding more dungeons for lvl50 progression keeps it fresh for the majority of players. If you go into High Level Roulette right now, not Expert, you can get a lot of different dungeons.
