Current Goals -> New Update Goals..what should we rethink?

[Sepukku]

Does anyone feel daunted by the significance of a 99 cap? I suspect thats where the "only 1 job past 75" suggestion came from. I was in my mog house and just considering the magnitude of how much XPing it will take to first just level a half dozen subs from 37-49 but then to also level 3 jobs from 75-99, which will suredly require a massive amount of XP. On top of that, almost everything will become obsolete and your 99 jobs will need completely regeared. I know personally even if they raised the cap today to 99, I wouldn't have all of that completed til Christmas.

Maybe they'll do it Burning Crusades style. i.e., Abyssea will allow for a large increase in experience points gained although you'll need to be at least 75 to take advantage of this. 75 > 80 Visions of Abyssea, 80 > 90 Scars of Abyssea, 90 - 99 Heroes of Abyssea?

Merits could end up becoming much easier to obtain although I don't think people would have a problem with that.

I wanna see what the next Tachi: Worsethenthelast they come out with. Maybe We'll get a decent multi hit so we won't have to switch back and fourth with polearm as often. Or a new Single hit that counts as 2 hit's so just SC's with itself lol.

As far as the goals, I def. think I'm going to start getting up to date on wotg missions, their gonna end up with a neck or waist piece at some point, they've already done a bunch of rings and earrings. Going to get subs to probably 42ish, atleast the important ones.

Im expecting this.

SE will up the EXP gain in Visions so everyone zergrushes them for the content coupled with new merit/exp camps and basically you have what ToAU did to CoP camps all over again.

Im pretty sure they know the first line of bitching will be "damn, the TNLs are too high" so why not resolve that after they make you pay 10 bucks for it?

Starting from 0 -> 99 and getting through all the old AND new content would take you 7 more years. Just play FF14 lol..

1st lvl cap is june update, can easy get @least one lvl75 before that

Great topic OP. I was pondering the same thing last night when I heard the news.

I think your typical response will be to level subjobs from 37-> 49

Its 99/49.

I think the other next goal would be to start leveling new subjobs that you didn't consider, but now with 37+ skills and abilities, it'll be a create new subjob to consider.

For example, I neglected leveling RDM but seeing the possibilities of having a 99WHM/49RDM is just pure AWESOMENESS. Currently, that is my goal. Level my subs to 49 and then RDM to 50

[nitsuj]

Its 99/49.

That just sounds weird o.O

[seiji]

caping my 75xp, getting some sub49 before 11, then play FFXIV alpha, and only log on XI for week end's salvage

I'll be still on aion but Ill be finishing COR then moving up the other SJs before the summer. I just HOPE when they begin level cap rises that they make sure its fun to level and also that they cut all 50-75 tnls down alot so people arent burnt out. They should also look at revising all OLD merits too so you can gain merits at the same time or those tier 2 abilities are integrated into yhe new levels instead. In anycase after many years of grinding Id say people will be tired of grinding and slow exp so unless many mobs are readjusted to be at least burn friendly or give ALOT more exp than current rates the new levels mightnt help, expecially for people like myself that have multiple 75s and dont have the time/patience to mindlessly burn exp camps multiple times over and over.

hey mnk/war will keep accuracy ja fulltime:focus(2min)=>agressor(3min)=>focus up!
(war mnk already can but no war sub mnk)

[Enedin]

Let's see. I'll take up one main job. Currently I have RDM THF PLD DRK COR BLM.

Subs I'll have to level for ANY main job: NIN, DNC.
Subs I'll have to level for my melee jobs: SAM, WAR.
Subs I'll have to level for my mage jobs: SCH, WHM.

Taking up RDM would require me to level SCH, WHM and NIN.
Taking up THF would require me to level NIN and WAR.
Taking up PLD would require me to level NIN and DNC.
Taking up DRK would require me to level NIN and SAM.
Taking up COR would require me to level RNG, NIN and DNC.
Taking up BLM would require me to level WHM and SCH.

/sigh levelling subjobs.

Oversight

[Cairthenn]

Currently I have RDM

No you didn't.

[Rampagesama]

No you didn't.

Touche

[ZhiGaruda]

Meh, sub jobs aren't as issue. Two flows is enough to go from 37-48, so you can either do one more flow to go way over cap, or FoV like 4-5 times to finish off the job.

/Sch would more-or-less make SCH main worthless because lets face it, SCH is 'overpowered' because of Accension and Manifestation, something any mage job can do Lv80 onwards. Rdm/Sch could Stoneskinga, Phalanxga II, Enspellga II, Curaga IV, Graviga, Poisonaga, Paralynaga, Stonaga even... I think that's the most worrying aspect for me and my career SCH mentality of this potential update. Anyone with /Rdm could refresh themselves(probably reduce it to 1mp/tick if that happened), /Cor gets Evokers roll... Hell, Blm/Sch would have Stunga, lol.

[Aemora]

Oh, and Hastega, lets not forget that...

Well, this is all assuming these abilities are not restricted to main job only. Perhaps a massively dumbed down version of the same ability/spell, etc. While it's unheard of for a spell to be main only, it's usually handled by having the spell a certain level, for abilities it is used on jobs already.

Call Wyvern, for DRG, for instance, is DRG only. Hasso is (while still very useful) lowered down for /SAM. These measures would certainly be possible should the dev's put their minds to it.

I have a feeling this update isn't going to break the game nearly as much as people think.

you mad? you know they are going to add more stuff to jobs when you level them up right?

[Aemora]

Stuff other jobs already have!!!!! Also calling Raise IV, No exp loss, lol.
