Suggestion: unlimit the cross class system.

[Taliph]

I gave a reason why I would think it would be godly. Me, being a BLM, using the cross class abilities that I can't use, being IR and B4B, to bait a HUGE crit flare. Are you kidding me? I'm done with your trolling. Don't respond unless you want to further the discussion, not troll it.

Deep breaths...

The op didn't say "open jobs to all cross class skills" the op said "make it so we can use all of the cross class skills that a job can currently use, instead of only 5 of the 10"

Following the actual suggestion would not grant blm access to blood for blood or internal release.

That said, you either have some issues with reading comprehension, or you are in fact the one trolling.

Seriously look at the contrast between when I pointed out that what you suggested had nothing to do with what was being discussed and your reaction which was to insult the intelligence of other posters with something a non-adult would say, then deny that you completely misunderstood the topic. You have serious issues saying the simple words "my mistake" and instigated whatever started.

Don't hide your errors. My post was with his original un-edited comment, not as it is now. I facepalmed because you didn't read. Stop hiding it :P

how can someone read something that have been edited?

My original quote:

"Black mage opening with Raging strikes, Internal release and Blood for Blood would like, it'd be godly."

BLACK MAGE OPENING. Like, are you kidding me? THE BLACK MAGE is opening his rotation with the cross class skills RS, IR and B4B. That comment was sound with his original comment. You're telling me Flare isn't a BLM ability now?

he never said that flare wasn't a BLM abilty. You jumped to conclusion with your unedited OP memories.


you admitted that OP was edited but keep acting like it wasn't call him a troll and

facepalm

Looks like another soon-to-be locked thread. Gold Saucer needs to go live soon, the villagers are getting restless!

On topic: I don't see why they couldn't do this. As it is, I only need 3 of my 5 cross-skills anyway, with 4 and 5 being meh. Easy to do and wouldn't break anything, I say: go for it.

.. or just rework the whole thing for an expansion. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ob-Customizing

Yea give Dragoon's Berserk, Please. They already take skills from Maurader.

I'd rather the Jobs themselves be more unique and interested.

Suggestion: Nuke the old class system to the ground.

I think from now on, if it suits the overall story ingame, as well as can be explained sufficiently as to why there isn't a base Class for a new Job, then I hope the development team choose to omit classes in the future.

That said though, I don't think they can (or should) remove the current classes from the game, as (A) it's too much of a hassle to to re-organise the story, coding, skill balance, etc., and (B) removing classes already ingame would be like another 1.0 to 2.0 kind of a change, which would seem antithetical to the whole "A Realm Reborn" idea.

Also, one reason for not having any more classes introduced into the game would be because it diminishes the possible pool of potential jobs that could be added to the game, making those classes that did get added, just forms more superfluous placeholders with possible cross-class abilities, which would no doubt cause balancing issues.

We're either missing something or you are, because this is some serious misunderstandings here lol.
I dunno what it is, but people have explained to you like 5 times
and you're still getting edgy.
Oh well, keep responding so I may feast this morning on XIV forum posts.

I don't tend to have high expectations of forums anymore nowadays, but this thread is one prime example of people not reading properly, or failing to understand what they do read.

You're right that most people hopping into this thread seem to have trouble understanding what the OP is saying for some reason, but I don't think it really matters, because what the OP suggests is not really something that should happen. It would be better to have a "shared skill" system than a "cross class" system. For example, GLA and MRD should both unlock Provoke, BLM, SMN, WHM, and SCH should all unlock Swiftcast, etc.

While I personally have no issue leveling every job to max (and have, before 2.0 even started), it isn't super intuitive for newbies. I see healers with poetics gear and no Swiftcast. I've had a WAR in Ultima with no Provoke. It's pretty frustrating. Sure, most of those people will probably be bad no matter what, but probably not all. Why make it harder on them for no reason? Maybe they don't want to play BLM? It's not really a "difficulty" hurdle, it's a "why do I have to level X when I want to play Y" arbitrary limitation.

Wow, I totally misread this thread. First line's a bit confusing, that's what I get for reading at 1 AM. Anyways I guess support? I mean, it's not like it's going to do any harm, as stands there's only like, two, maybe three good cross-class skills for each class anyways, no harm in letting you take 10.
