Possible level/story jumps....really?

[bass9020]

I really hope that the story isn't going to become scattered now if they do decide to stop the continuity. This is why I like enjoy XIV because its not like every other MMO. People always say they want a different MMO but when is actually different people just cry and whine, so much logic there! I don't even care about the story skips anymore as long as they keep the story continuous where it needs to be. If people need to skip the story/cutscenes press that little esc button all day long until they put a story skip on the mog station. And yes I hope it cost real money so people have to buy it, if they want to skip things so badly.

The dev team has already talked about how locking so much behind the story wasn't such a good idea and have taken that into account for the next expansion, why are people still complaining? Im all for classes/jobs and zones to be opened from the start and I think it would be better for the game if they were.

I will not nor will I ever agree with a level skip potion because there is no need for one in this game.

Part of what makes a community is a shared experience. Everyone experiences the same roads they must travel, same things they must do, and gives a group something to bond with, reminisce about, or lament over, together.

When some are able to just skip things because they can just pay to pass through, it will hurt even more the community that's already divided by casual vs hardcore.

Then how about having the potion boost your level to 30 instead?

I can't really argue against that since the 3 new jobs already start at lvl 30 which imo I'm not a fan of. But I wouldn't rule that out I guess.

To be fair, if those three Jobs did start at level 1, then they would have needed to be available outside of Ishgard/before finishing 2.55.

Yea I agree, they could have started once you reached Coerthas Central Highlands for the first time. Majority of there beginning stories start in that area anyway and I'm sure a lot more people would have been happier. This also would lead to less people complaining about story and leveling other things. Heres to hoping 4.0 changes this!

Oh boy this topic is back.

To which I repeat. The potion, if a newbie uses it, changes ALL filler plot (only there for exp. Quests leading to Garuda are the perfect example of this) to become side-quests. You'll still need to follow the linear path the story has you following (and skip cutscenes if you truly don't care about it*), but you'll finish it slightly faster now that you no longer need to deal with filler. The Potion will also force Class/Job quests (of what you're currently playing as) into the MSQ, just in case you haven't done them after using the potion.

For players who are already finished with 3.3, the potion changes nothing. It just boosts a Class you couldn't be bothered levelling up for the cross-class skill (Swiftcast, Provoke, Quelling Strikes, Blood for Blood, etc) to whatever it caps at.

*Include an option for players who do not care about story to automatically skip cutscenes.

Man this topic and tc are completely hilarious.

The level of entitlement with gamers these days never ceases to amaze me.
