Job Potions on Mog Station, When?

[Galen_Malchome]

Anyone seen a date for these in NA? I ended up hating leveling in HW, and just want to buy the story potion and get to the hopefully better new content in Stormblood.

I believe they were scheduled to be released either with early access or SB launch.

There are 2 types of potions, 1 that boosts you to 60(only 1 is allowed to be purchased on the account). The other is the story boost potion which comes with 2 types, skip ARR and skip ARR+HW. All will be available when early access hits I'm pretty sure.

I dont mean to attack anyone, but I'm always a bit curious why people want to skip the story (I guess I can understand it with parts of ARR) when they know that there will just be MORE story with the next expansion. I mean... you want topay money to skip something you dont like, to get to play more content you dont like...?
Can someone explain this to me somehow? I'm sorry, I just cant wrap my head around this >.< I guess everyone enjoys different things about the game in the end and thats fine, but I just dont get this...

In OPs case for example: was it the setting you didnt like and you hope you'll like the SB one better? Or the characters?

Main point, I started Paladin, and did not like how low DPS was to grind through the quests. They took forever. I then switched to Warrior at around 53 in Paladin, there were very little quests to actually get anything done to catch up other than tanking Daily Roulette on my Warrior slightly better DPS. Since then I have grown tired of tanking everything if want to get story or a dungeon done and there is no good way to level as DPS.

Well the most obvious reason is that people want to catch up to their friends. That is reasonable to do ONCE, unless they completely hate the job they selected.

The other argument which was pretty heated at the beginning of HW was that there are RP people who do not want to play the story. They see it as an obstacle. That is another kind of heated debate that I don't want to bring to this thread.

Suffice it to say, if they set the price of these job pots at a level that is essentially the same as buying a new subscription, then I don't see why not. Feels like the players are only cheating themselves. As long as it can only be done to a combat class that is fine. If they allow it to be done to a crafting class, then it's just an extreme P2W, and nobody will bother with crafting any low-level items, ever.

its not for crafting classes. So lets not even discuss what we know it isn't.

I have 4 characters done with msq (plus another currently working through 3.0), and after so many playthroughs I have the current story pretty much memorized. Come SB, my newer rp chararcters can hit the ground running - I never have to slog through 2.X's 7,483,478 fetchquests to get to Ishgard again ;w;

Thats a reason I can understand - when you've seen the story, maybe even multiple times, skipping it doesnt seem to "harmful". I mean, using my logic you wouldnt skip something you dont like in that case...

(not that I really understand the need for multiple alts either, but I'm not a RPer after all xD)

Well, if you've already done the MSQ once, most people are not inclined to do it again but also want to enjoy playing on Alt characters. So, could be along the same with the job quests. Apart from those, it'll be for the people who are too lazy/don't want to actually read anything who will want to do those. But they will miss a lot of stuff. I wonder if it'll force you to do the dungeons though.
