[Reminder] Classes Are Not Jobs [dev1033]

Jobs > Weapon Specialists.

Sorry, but at this point everyone's specced into a red mage regardless of class, and it's pretty lame. i want a unique character who follows a specific path.

As of right now there is absolutely no tactic in group mechanics, everyone just beats on mobs till they die. No tanking, occasional group healing, no support tactics, it goes on and on.

In FFXI I loved the idea of building up a classical FF job. I think they've tried way too hard to make the game really different and obscure. Go with what's worked well in the past and improve on it. Rather than improving on the basic format, they just went off the deep end with obscure ideas on how the game will be played. Also guild leves are the most half ass thing I've ever seen in an MMO. It seems like they just didn't have time to implement actual unique quest givers, and threw in 3 or 4 leves to do over and over. We shouldn't be getting charged yet. The lead developer stated the game would be free until it met their standards... your standards must be pretty damn low.

You can, you just have to self impose those limits currently.


Some of us like the open unlocked nature of the game as is and don't mind added on specialization but not at the expense of the freedoms we already have.
