Save the Armory system

[Alise]

good idea, but until now, there is no turning back for SE

I was just joking. I can't find my old threads even using google's 'cache' operator so I am assuming they are lost to cyberspace. So for all intents and purposes I never posted this.

You Couldn't remember a post you made the 4 days before?

I find it interesting he / she initially claimed to have never posted it, but one or two pages back makes note of it in an argument with another poster.

This remind me.. do you remember the japanese guy come'd in this section, asking you to not flood the forum with your topics ? Because you cross-posted your topics in the japanese section too, and they were'nt too happy :|| now you just repeating that attitude, other than be a stick on the back.
You don't read the future, nor will be. Stop pretending you know everything, you just look dumb

No I don't remember that thing you just made up right now. Funnily enough.

Two points to make here. Gonna give you the dessert first, since you'll cry less, but sooner or later, those veggies are gonna need to be eaten.

I agree with: Jobs should used as a defined role within party play.
Solo: Who cares, Set yourself up with Second Wind II, Cure/Sac3, Siphon MP, Siphon TP... etc, etc. (Kinda sounds like the clones bit in your 'Bad:' link, everyone using the same skills >_> yay for cross-classing.) Be that uber-Do-Everything-BAMF when you solo.

Party: Pick a job. Tank huh? okay, here's your DEF boosts, ya hey-look-at-me hate-grabbers, a little damage output. NEXT! Got a Healer Friend? K they get the heals. Oh, someone who wants to play non-healing support, k Buff-Bonanza. Oh. Here's the guy who wants to crush/shoot/stab the opposition, here ya go buddy, have some attack boosts/damage modifiers. Go nuts.

Everyone doing what they want, just like now, with the classes system but... they're going to get specialist abilities to help them out. Who needs MRDs {Intimidation} on GLA if you pick your job to be Paladin, and they give you {Intimidation II}? CONs has Cure 3, let's give White Mages Cure 4. Hey, that guy is trying to play a bit like an old school Thief. Have Blindside 3, Collusion 2, have fun dude. (FOR EXAMPLE, BEFORE ANYONE JUMPS DOWN MY THROAT.)

I also agree with: Jobs okay, we know they'll be unlocked via a one-to-one ratio with classes, hopefully this will change in the future, but, will we be able to use them on other classes? Sure, GLA -> PLD, but maybe I wanna use a Lance and Tank AT THE SAME TIME. Life Surge would help for this, why can't I? I'd like to be a DRK with a sword. Last Resort + Souleater Riot Blade? Hell yes, let's do it. DD GLA finally.

What I dont agree with: This feeling of you needing to be able to cross-class on a job. Why? It's sacrificing flexibility for increased ability. The transitioning between class and job should, and probably will be as seamless as swapping from any class to a different class. (Albeit, setting skills is a pain.) Once you get the job, nothing's forcing you to stay locked in as it.
Dungeon run: Hmm, we'll need you as your class to help kill everything in sight, boss coming up? You guys stay classes to be able to cross-class some stuff (stuns/additional heals, etc). We're gonna swtch to our jobs... (PLD for high DEF, WHM for better heals, you can see where I'm taking this, right?)

If you think everyone is going to be a clone when jobs come out, just look now. Nearly everyone can raging strike/ferocity/bloodbath their weaponskills, cure/sac/second wind for self-healing, and buff with protect/stoneskin/shock spikes. The only thing thats different is the weapons in their hands.

[SIZE="5"]TL;DR? I'm super-excited for jobs, I'm gonna wait to see what SE do with 'em before Q_Q'ing[/SIZE]

But if YOU could implement jobs, how would YOU implement them? The same way SE intends to implement them?

Funnily is not a word.

[User201109011315]

Funnily is not a word.

Neither is "derp" or "pwned" etc., but that never stopped the translators from using these in the Letters from the Producer.

"Funnily enough" is a commonplace phrase, anyhow. Many people use it. So even if "funnily" is not a word, the meaning is conveyed regardless.

If you didn't understand what I was trying to say, I guess I could try and translate it into technical english for you. Sometime.

I just hear "Funny enough." never funnily enough unless of course they are talking about funnel's :O

People don't acknowledge pwned or derp as words in the dictionary, you used it casually without the intent of using it in a slang meaning.

So anyyyyway, should they undermine the armory system or not? What's your opinion?
