    Heavensward jobs DRK, MCH, and AST don't display job name in chat when leveling up

    The three new Heavensward jobs do not display the job name in the related chat message upon leveling up. Other classes display a message like "John Doe attains gladiator level 30!" in chat to nearby players upon a level up, but DRK, MCH, and AST only display "John Doe attains level 30!".

    Example picture:


    Frequency: Whenever a player nearby levels up one of the new Heavensward jobs with no base classes
    Steps:
    1. Have two or more people stand close to each other
    2. Have one of these people level up as DRK, MCH, or AST
    3. The other people near them will see a message in the chat box, but the message does not contain the job of the player that leveled up.

    If you're on the job that dings, it doesn't say the job in the message.

    That's because unlike the Heavensward 'extra Jobs', the 'original' Jobs... are actually still their base classes with a Job crystal attached. Although the Job icon might be shown in the party list, it's base class is the real power behind the throne and is really the one that is still gaining exp and not the Job attached to it (so, for instance, if you're a PLD, you're still officially getting GLA exp, because you're not a 'true' PLD, you're still just a GLA with a PLD Job crystal attached to it.). Version 1.0 (specifically, between patches circa 1.20 and the end of the game's service with patch 1.23) made this much clearer showing both the Job's name and it's base class listed on the exp bar (with the class in brackets).

    Because the Heavensward Jobs do not have base classes, they don't mention the class in the chat log when gaining exp, because they have none. So definitely 'working as intended' here I'm afraid.

    Hopefully that hasn't been too confusing.
