1. Leveling is pretty fast so far. I'll let you know how long it takes me to get to 50 just filthy casualing it. People are already soloing POSky, so that's a good sign.

2.Only 1/3 of your class choices are locked in to start with. That leaves 2 that can be anything at all you want at any time. Worst case scenario is you don't start on a meta build. You can still pick up the most important 2/3 of it and get to 50 and unlock one of the 3 to be your primary and there you go.

3. Given how leveling works you are going back to level 1 no matter what in this scenario since you never leveled those other classes. That might be a good excuse to start over if you want to do all 3. Everyone is different in that regards.

4. They might sell unlocks for people who just really can't be bothered to get to POSky and do them that way. That's fine too. FFXIV sells MSQ skips. WOW sells xp skips. Everyone is free to pay for convenience if they want.

5. In a similar vein, you might want to have a second account to fuck around with FOTM builds. This is a one toon per server per account game. That has already been announced. I get wanting the option for alts, but it's not going to be there. I don't know if there is going to be a limit on aliases like there is for personas. They already explained the technical issue on alts. Could be bullshit. Could be incompetence. Could be both. But the limit is there.

6. This gives another end game goal besides farming everything to 50 and getting all AAs. As long as there is an in game method of doing it, I am fine with it. Obviously you are not. That's OK. By all means send feedback in if you are/will be in the beta or after it goes live. It may end up being a nothingburger that is super easy to do.
Are you intentionally being ignorant?

WHY NOT JUST LET ME MAKE A FUCKING ALT?

You say Oh well FF14 and WoW sells skips

You also know what they allow at no fucking cost MAKING ANOTHER FUCKING CHARACTER

Why should I have to get to fucking end game to change my fucking primary class?! I should be able to go. You know what? This character is screwed but I have plat and stuff so I'll just send it to a new one and start again. WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I DO THAT!

WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR ANOTHER FUCKING ACCOUNT?

No alts are because they said no alts. That is literally something they announced. I wish they were competent enough to introduce a new system without breaking alts, but it is what it is. Delete and reroll. Get to 50 and do the unlock. Maybe pay for an unlock if that's something they end up offering. Send them feedback if you want. Otherwise all this sound and fury will signify nothing.

The game's systems are what they are. This is one aspect of the game so far, and I don't know whether there will be other ways to open other primary classes or not. You get something for getting to 50, I forget whether it's a class or race unlock.

Still not sure how POSky stuff will work out. I know getting to 50 will be pretty simple. See mob. Kill mob. Rinse and repeat. If they get personal instances worked out and don't have retarded lockout timers it should be pretty quick to just clean house and unlock all the things. It's literally just check lists of things to collect on each island and turn in. I think BST and BER are also unlocked for free for now since no Luclin or GoD.

I ain't reading all that shit but are you all really considering playing a game where you can't roll an alt? You're locked into one character?


What the fuck is this stupid shit?

If you're trying something only discover a bug is fucking up your plans do you delete and start over or do you wait for the bug to get fixed?

The truly old school EQ experience.

Reminds me of my buddy when I got him to try EQ when it first came out. He rolled a ranger, "I get dual wield this level, I bet things will get better finally" as my mage solos a few blue cons at once. Good times.

(It did not get better for him)

How is it down? People killing max difficulty gods in 2-3 minutes. Sounds like power is up.

personally, I’d prefer if it isn’t that simple to win.
THJ people were pulling the entire zone and wiping it out, not saying its bad, but this is THJ only by the fact that its 3 classes, someone going in to this thinking its THJ is going to be disappointed.

Good, IMO. Without some challenge it’ll get really boring.

I understand. I had simply assumed even with a full eight, the highest difficulty would be tougher.

So, maybe it’s easier in Beta to allow people to test faster?

Raid-balanced instances are not yet in the game, the current solo instances at diff 4 (vox/nag only) are taking people 20-30 minutes to kill - and I don't think I've seen anyone do it without CLR in their set.
