13 Jobs & 1 weekly lock out Fix Suggestion

[Animarelic]

I personally find that the only incentive to level multiple jobs to 60 is to test them out or play with them in a casual setting. This is because of the current raid lockout system. Currently, we are allowed to try out other jobs without creating an alt and repeating the MSQ but we are forced to choose a single job for endgame raiding. The way the current system works is that we farm the content on our main jobs first then we go in on alt jobs. As more jobs are added not everyone will want to stick with a single job.

I feel like we're trying too hard to separate the community through raiding when we should be trying to bring it together. I have an idea on how to help both sides of the community Raiders & Casuals who want to try.

Allow us an extra manifesto per role*Not Job for people who can't distinguish the two* helping at least 4 members who haven't cleared for the week. An example would be if I cleared as ANY Tank Job I no longer get a manifesto clearing as that role BUT if I switch to A Healer, Caster DPS, Melee DPS or Ranged DPS and help 4 others who haven't cleared I get another Manifesto. This gives the extra jobs we leveled an immediate purpose. Restrict the allowance to 2 or 3 roles per week.

Even with the new Raid PF the lockout still doesn't give more players incentive to help beyond a single clear. Some people still won't help and others still won't want only 1 chest especially if the aren't new to clearing it. At least with an additional manifesto players who aren't overly concerned with the chests can still benefit & the people that help can as well.

The current system is punishing to players (new players or players coming back from inactivity) that start raiding late or players who have trouble finding a group. With RNG and a single manifesto, some players won't get the gear they desire depending on how close they clear to the next patch. This gives us more chances at loot and newer players a better chance getting into the content and clearing. One thing I forgot to add: If raids were set up this way there would be no need for 'catch up patches' and the time could be spent creating more content like extra raiding tiers.

*It seems like people are mistaking Jobs & Roles or are just disagreeing based on how I typed it or other reasons, so I will bold the Original statement that was never edited* TLDR; Give us 2-3 Maifestos per week instead of one if we play different roles& help @ least 4 ppl who haven't cleared

It wouldnt work since you can get all the manifestos for all thirteen jobs in one week then spend them all on one jobs gear.

EDIT: Raid finder is there more for those who are having difficulty finding a static or dont raid with a static. Or for raiders alts.

They want the content to last a long amount of time. This lockout is to ensure that it takes awhile to get items. Your going to have to live with this.

I wasn't finished editing "Restrict the allowance to 2 or 3 roles per week." Is what I was adding. NOWHERE DID I EVER INSIST WE HAVE 13 MANIFESTOS I clearly typed Allow us an extra manifesto per role Not Job. Also there is only 5 roles if you look at how they break down PvP Que and divide the Roles into Caste, Range and Melee so using that system there wouldn't be 13 manifestos only 5 per week at the most.

Beside with the new crafted stuff for DoM and DoW you can still be competitive and run savage content

I have all 3 hea and 2 caster ready for any savage with mostly crafted melded stuff and a shit ton of lore i don't even know what to do with...

Well your edit makes no difference (and should have been in from the start when you posted the OP, and not put in once someone pointed out the huge flaw). People will still gear up 3 times faster than otherwise (there are only 3 roles in the game acknowledged by the devs: tanks healers and dps).

Also nothing in the system is punishing anyone. There is nothing stopping these players you are describing setting up their own raid group of people in similar situations.

Yeah each savage raid needs to last 6+ months until the next savage raid is released. Maybe people are already progressing too fast lol.

You didn't point out the flaw because it still stood that there are ONLY 5 types of roles. just like they do for Feast PvP where they break the roles down Caster, Range and Melee. You should check into things before you type. It was a Copy Paste and got clipped because I pre type my longer posts. Also even if they added a second manifesto no one would complain about getting the max item in 1 month versus two.

If the raids were set up the way I was suggesting they could use the odd patch to add more content on instead or add more raiding tiers.

Not exactly true, they could simply make the manifesto for the class you play similar to the way gear is. I.E. Manifesto of Fending, Manifesto of Healing, Manifesto of Striking, etc. It still forces people to clear the content on the class they want to gear (rather than using one class to gear up another) but also allows the extra gearing like the OP wants. I personally am for the idea despite not being a raider (in this game), in other games alt raiding is a pretty popular thing but it's kind of irritating that the loot lockout prevents a similar thing in this game due to the whole one item per character thing as the Armory system makes having an alt pointless in my opinion.

I wonder why we did not leave 1.x then if thats the condition to have content long live...
I like to believe content live long because its fun to play and not because you are chained to it and forced to play!
