Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[Reliquia]

i think almost the same.

the problem is more... the people want to have the choice to stick to their playstyle of the original class..
having for now just one job option (in the future there are planned at least 2 job choices for each class)

is the most problem. so its too early to implement hybrids like dragoon + wyvern pet... like its too early for the barde.
people who played the lancer want to stick to the pure wielding polearm class, not having a pet.


and archers for example want to stick to their (just shooting with bow "damage dealer role") playstyle, not having the supporter role as a barde.



Thats the really most problem i think... they should have first added jobs for thos classes for example "lancemaster" for lancer (which only wields poles thats it) and for archer for example thief (specified in bows/daggers/ and critical attack).


AND THEN later on with 2.0. implementing second jobs like dragoon+wyvern and barde for archer.
that would have been the better choice.

I agree with everything that you've said. But the problem is however not that it's too early for hybrid classes, the problem is that the current job for for LNC is dragoon. If it was something like a lance knight it would be fine, because a lance knight can still wield a lance and be a full DD without a pet. However if you take away the wyvern from drg then we lose what we learned to love about the FFXI drg. Even by releasing a job in the future with a pet wyvern won't be the same without the drg look and abilities.

When it comes to bard it's pretty obvious. The class role system was very unbalanced, there is way too many DDs, and sadly ARC took the fall for it because someone had to. It is still unclear what the bard will be doing, but I guess it's going to work as a buf/debuf light DD. At the same time it is very unfair to make those who wanted a ARC/RNG class/job to play bard without offering a RNG for it first/simultaneously.


In the end the issues regarding both jobs are a result of class identity conflicts
