Red mage coming

What would be nice is if they gave us a choice of what level we want to start the jobs at once they become unlocked...That way those of us who want to start at level 1 can do so...Those who want 30 can and those who want 50 can ..This way everyone is happy.

I don't really see how it is a "goal" to go back to ARR zones just to level up the new job from level 1 again. I don't want to keep having to do years old content in next few expansion packs.

You're mixing up two completely opposed arguments, at least I think you are referencing the "goal" that THunda_cat was talking about.

Regardless, leveling up a job from scratch is kind of how things work, particularly in MMOs... If anything, wanting it to start at 50 feels like "coddling" (to borrow Thunda_cat's word).

I could understand that if we had this situation in Heavensward, but can most of the players really tolerate having to go back to the start in every single expansion that has a new job? Heck, if I was more cynical, I could say that the devs could put new jobs at level 1 just to tempt people to use the job boost potion.

Considering that's standard practice for just about any other MMO... yeah, I think we could deal with starting at a lower level.

you could say its an advanced job since its a mix between black and white magic, so you would need to be stronger to equip the jobcrystal, i can even see SE adding something like you need to have black and whitemage atleast at lvl 50 to get access to that job

That would be really, really bad. >_<

The cynic in me thinks they might make it require White Mage, Black Mage, Summoner/Scholar (shared class Arcanist), and Astrologian at 70 to get... Just drive people back in. And for those newer players, that's 4 jump potions bought! $200 in SE's backpocket.

That is insanely cynical. I'm impressed.

Hahaha. Thumbs up. But watch what you type! Don't want to put ideas in their head. >_>; Now that they're implementing jump potions, there are all sorts of annoying ways they could design the game to push people toward feeling the need to buy them.

That already happens now anyway with the cross class system, it wouldn't really change much.

Not nearly as bad. Cross class abilities only require leveling to 30 or so, max. Most are much lower.

Technically, highest cross class is 42 Pugilist for Mantra.

it can be a new kind of restriction , if you wanted to play the 3.0 jobs , you needed to be in hw , people complained that the story is taking to long and it takes to much time to get the new jobs, with this you would only need to level certain jobs, or buy jumppotions but yeah aggreeing with you that that would be a bad idea, to get pressured into playing / leveling jobs you may not like so that you can play the job you want
