The necessary evil of ffxiv

[Savagelf]

give what I seen of 4.0 the devs need a new way introduce new jobs after stormblood.

for example one couldn't introduce job after red mage and samuria with out tweak the armory system. it look promising give there is general fear of new things including new game machines.

system like trinity system also necessary i play many mmos and they seem return to the trinity because they system of tried run for it doesn't work.

You do realize we're getting 10 slots in the armory chest on all tabs initially and supposedly another 10 sometime after once they check to make sure servers are stable and all?

Other than that, I'm not quite sure what the problem you're trying to say is exactly. More jobs? Yeah, I'd love more. New kinds of jobs (support/enhance/debuff)? Unlikely, but I would be for it.

What did I just read?

The problem with new jobs is the amount of Dev time involved (currently.) Consider this, they decide to introduce BLU (Blue Mage). They would have to ensure all of the content both past and present work for inserting this job, and making the gameplay interesting and unique at the same time. The last time they inserted a job was Ninja, and from what I have gathered that was the last time they wanted to do something like that mid-patch cycle.

[Savagelf]

my view point on inserted mid-patch cycle is this one must pre planned it. for example say they going add blu red mage and samuria for start of ffxiv stormblood they could content done for blu mage at very start of patch cycle this way it could be add in more smoothly. my view is the armory system has almost impossible to add such job in future expansion like stormblood as pre 4.0 it hard time for the dev to balance all the jobs out by switch how jobs role are it easy to decide for example if a dev decide to add beast master what role it would be in

would be a ranger dps, melee dps or anything else for example

The issue with more jobs comes into play only in the comparative raid scene. There we are talking FCs wanting world firsts, etc. They are only going to bring certain jobs because they want to have that 1% extra umph to their run. For us regular folks it shouldn't matter, so long as the job is fun and can do the content. We should not worry about one job under performing so long as it isn't glaringly so.
