February Mini Update

woop, time to cap parry.

Why do people feel like burning a job makes you forever a gimp? At 75, most players in the game were HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. That hasn't and will never change.

I'm not saying it causes retardation, I'm just saying it isn't fun. Achieving all of that in such a short time frame, what used to entail many great adventures and great times to be had, the satisfaction of the work it entailed.

I recently abyssea burned my WHM and RDM from 49 to 90, it took about 9 hours for each of them. I didn't feel accomplished, I didn't feel like I had done anything at all. There was no adventure, I wasn't banded with 5 others to fend of fiends for a few hours to achieve a few levels, instead I mindlessly used cure macros and chest key macros for hours, often afking from boredom and because I really wasn't needed, not even 75+.

Say what you want, grind is grind, but I enjoyed EXPing traditionally over this. Abyssea was fun the fist few times, and I would have looked at it in a more positive light if it had a steeper level for EXP. Look around, EXP parties are dead everywhere, in most cases you're soloing a job to 30 then leeching in abyssea these days. There's no fun in that, at least for me.

Don't get me wrong, its not hard to pick up a job and play it, but having exp levels to give you skills and traits in small intervals, eases learning how parts of the job work. Allowing you to become a more skilled player.

lol, while this true. I believe burning a job doesn't allow you to experience the job how you were supposed too. Leveling Skills, Learning how to use Job Abilities and Learning how to play your roles is all part of exping. It allows you time to be a nub, and grow out of it, something things like level sync and Abyssea have changed.

Just because you have a skill, doesn't mean its good enough to hit the mob.

Just because you have a description on how a JA works, doesn't mean you know how to use it.

Just because people tell you your jobs a tank, doesn't mean you will know how to tank with it.

I have a static that just finished leveling all our subjobs to 45 in East Ronfaure [ S]. Don't just say something is dead because the majority are not doing it. Go set a trend. Be an individual (or a group of 6) that does what they want not what the mob says is the way to do things. Do things in a manner that is completely ridiculous. Laugh when you or your party members die. Wear subligar as a group and take a picture. Have fun people.

oh, and if other people make fun of your or say you are wasting time. Remember the photo and the time you enjoyed. It isn't for them to say that YOU are wasting YOUR time. Play the game the way that gets you the most enjoyment.

Remind me, when did PLD /NIN in an EXP pt pre-level sync?

Levelling rarely gave you any unbelievable measure of "skill" or "knowledge" behind the job. All that comes "behind-the-scenes", when you're supposed to be learning your job better.

At least they didn't fix the Primal brew trick

Nope, they only made it easier to do in Heroes zones...

when you hit 90 you should be able to use the job, not spend days skilling up. therefore burning a job up is moot to begin with. because you have to waste time skilling afterwords.

2 days skilling VS 2+ months levelling. Yeah, I totally see your point.

When you hit 30 I expect you to know your job, my point was that you make it sound like you learn so many valuable skills from grinding 1-90, when in fact you learn far more at the end of it.

With your handy dandy portable NPC!

Portable NPC?

Magian Spectacles say hi!

1-13 FOV solo 2 hours
13-30 SMN burn 2 hours
30-90 Abyssea burn 6-8 hours.

Recipe for failga.

Id normally call BS on this, but we ll see how it goes after the update .Only possible way you can be fully skilled is if you had other jobs with the same skill already leveled. Also depends on what job you are.

You forgot to add in the countless days it will take to bring your gimp *** 30 level skill up to 90.

i feel bad for anyone who burns a job like PUP. getting all those skills up? yea... also, BLU could be annoying, can't get skills until you skill up your blu magic..
