Tutorials for people using Job Jump potions?

[loreleidiangelo]

I didn't even notice the difference in DF. I honestly they forgot they added the jump potion. My experience in DF has still been the same... majority of people being terrible like people said.

Same here. I think the AST in my Susano normal was boosted because they went Diurnal Sect but never kept A.Bene on the tank, or used Collective/Earthly Star/Dignity...I think I did something like double their healing numbers - in Noct Sect lol.

Honestly, the only thing that made me think they were a booster was the total absence of any Aspected Bene whatsoever. Not using any of the other abilities is pretty par for the course in my dealing with other DF ASTs.

I had a healer with a newbie plant next to her name in the last story trial of SB...I looked at her profile and saw that this was the only true job to 70 so I knew that she must have bought a jump potion. She was terrible at healing and I believe that she did not even have swiftcast..we stood no chance.

I am not saying that those people are wrong to buy this but I still hope that I get better healers next time and I really hope that those healers and other jumpers are training a lot otherwise they will have a hard time in this game.

For the love of the twelve, yes. Or at least read a guide about what you're boosting. Both the ASTs I had in my Zurvan normal just now were level boosted. They let the MT die somehow which made Zurvan turn his sights on my squishy BLM self. Thankfully Lucid Dreaming and Diversion saved me. I ended up dying though to unavoidable damage from the DoT he throws on you to break the seals because they threw zero heals on me despite me being right next to one of them.

Pretty much my experience with boosted players has been terrible. However, I don't think it's even because of the boost because I'm sure they'd still be terrible otherwise. I'm just getting them in my groups in later content because of it.

There should definitely be something. I jumped a job myself, and wouldn't mind going through a trial as part of it regardless of my knowledge of the job. A lot of players who are jumping as brand new players are probably expecting something more like WoW where you can be at least passable with only a few buttons on many classes, then they log in and look at their bars like O_O uh...

...I'll just spam this one ability and hope nobody notices. >_>

A tutorial about each attack or combo would be nice. I mean when I unlocked samurai and red mage I was really overwhelmed with all the skills that I suddenly had and I dont want to know how this would feel with a instant lvl60 job. And if they are new to the game they also have to learn about all the different AOEs and other game mechanics too so I think a forced tutorial would be the best for all.

Does the job potion unlock the dungeons as well? Because if not, no optional dungeons would be available and the first dungeon they would enter would be satasha as normal and they would progress through the dungeons normally so I don't see an issue there.

Now if they did msq and job jump potion then yes I see issues and the value of a required tutorial.

Hall of Novice literally pops up when you use it. Though, it doesn't really help with situations that you learn when doing dungeons. So forcing people to actually do it, may not really help. New or old alike. Either they will learn while in the dungeons, or they won't. The best thing to do is to help if they're willing to accept the help, then at least they'll know what to do for the next run they happen to queue into.

People will still not care even with a tutorial.

Honestly, the jump potions and MSQ jump have bigger functional issues than being the assumed cause of player skill dips. I did experiment with trying it out on a new character over on Couerl to see what kind of benefits the service would provide to someone who is starting out in the game, and I think they didn't quite hit all the right spots with the system. If someone uses the level jump they should get all the optional services unlocked as a part of it, such as the ability to glamour, dye armor, and have access to the aesthetician. I was honestly surprised that even the MSQ jump didn't include these features.

Because they are not required for the MSQ, the players still have the ability to find them with the "new feature quest" icon.
