Are classes needed? POLL

[Raistlin]

Ok, i saw a lot of posts asking why they add class only weapons or stuff.

So lets make a poll about our class system:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Vote this post if you think Class and Jobs are a wrong system and you want only jobs to exist and Square-Enix focus more in create new jobs instead lose time balancing classes and jobs, creating first a new class to add then a new job.

[Raistlin]

Vote this post if you think Class and Jobs are a good system to implement variations inside a single class, like adding more roles per class (something like a DD job for gladiator or invoker job to conjurer.)

[Wolfie]

Classes and Jobs should be fine if the variation between class and job is explored better. Jobs can easily act as 'talent trees' or whatever from other games, where changing to a new job can completely change your role in a fight (i.e. gladiator DD).

[RolandDebreton]

When in doubt, never cast off variety. The more option you can have the better. I'm curious to see how with just a few abilities they will be able to get say DRK from GLD. However, as I stated before more variety for players to choose from more options etc is good!

Not this shit again.

Classes aren't going anywhere anytime soon. If they were, it would've already happened months ago. They're working as advertised and don't need to be outed, just expanded upon.

Not this shit again.

others opinions are not shit.

well it does not really work the system we have now..

i mean for each job you have to invent a new class name.


or what do you think can be the main class of thief? its impossible because the class has the same weapon like the job. for thief you need a dagger, which no class has.
and if you make thief a job of ranger or gladiator you almost have the same skills like a pld (gladiator skills) except just 5 skills which make the difference between pld and thief then..

which sound really bad.

do you get me what i mean?
the system doesnt work... even more if you think how about implementing new jobs like summoner ... if conjurer is the mainclass of summoner, then you have your healing skills and just 5 summoner skills? wont work..
maybe not the best example, but i hope you understand what i mean.


maybe it works for puppetmaster which has then the same skills like puglist, and then 5 skills for his puppets... which i also think are really really less, to make a puppetmaster out of a puglist.. no?!

This poll is worthless

both are staying regardless, theyve already more then shown that

[Firon]

Classes are fine, only idiots think jobs perform better solo/small parties than classes.

its not only about that being better.. i questioned myself...
how do you think the system will work for future jobs? just 5 skills to "make" the job?


for example puppetmaster, summoner, thief, time mage etc.? 5 skills to make a time mage out of a thaumaturge??
