So the new jobs start at 30? I'm already seeing tanks not tanking and healers not healing when you need them the most *shudders* I mean, sure, you need to reach 50 and complete the MSQ to get the new jobs but if you never played a tank or a healer before, chances are you'll suck at it, and this time you don't have ~15-20 levels to learn how to do it.
RE: Live Letter XX - Aldotsk - 04-11-2015
Whelp. I was hoping they'd explain about old contents too about how they'll make everyone revisit still.

And tanking at 30 is hardly a challenge so shouldnt be that hard to pick up.

It doesn't require a base class to receive the job; 30. So it's doubtful you will have to unlock anything prior-to considering it has been explained to be a baseless-job. You will receive the job quest which will start at level 30. However, Ishgard is believed to be locked until you finish 2.55 story- it is believed that the classes are in Ishgard.
RE: Live Letter XX - Steel Wolf - 04-12-2015
Such intense hype. INTENSE HYPE YOU GAIZ.
No, but seriously, everything sounds amazing. I genuinely can't wait to see how the new zones look with all those flying mounts and eventually airships humming around...like, just being in Ishgard with everyone else. That's what I'm really the most eager for.
RE: Live Letter XX - allgivenover - 04-12-2015
Looks like the jobs are unlocked in Ishgard.
Quote:Y: So there will be some updates to the battle system. Three new jobs: dark knight, astrologian, machinist. They will all be leveled starting at 30. When you enter Ishgard there’s a place where you can receive the first job quests. But, feel free to do some of the story before zerg leveling the new jobs. You have plenty of time.
This means you'll need to be level 50 and have all of the ARR plot done to play the new jobs.
If you plan for your alts to take up these jobs it's best to get started now.

Yeah... That's what I personally plan on doing. I'm running an alt for the DRK and likely a character for Machinist. My WHM is 41 so getting her to where I need to be won't be a problem for Astrologian.

Yep, definitely excited for this! Just need to finish all the MSQ stuff so I can enjoy it when it releases
Live Letter XX - Warren Castille - 04-24-2015
Official translation of the Live Letter is up!
It's a lot of information we already knew, but there's some interesting stuff we only speculated one, too. To wit:
Flying isn't on the table for 2.x Eorzea, might be revisited in the future
Only new combat actions will come from the class quests
New Disciple of the Hand actions granted through quests
Doing current trials with less than 8 will be possible
New level sync parameters will set you to minimum ilvl for Challenge Modes
Alexander loot doubleconfirmed to be on the WoD lockout system - Run as much as you want, loot only once
Lootmaster system incoming, ability to pass after lotting, all-greed only
Token system similar to 1.0 for trials: Every kill gives a token, 10 tokens buys an item
SE considers Midlander to be the main character
There was some discussion on what armor to show off for the Heavensward trailer
The ARR End of an Era trailer was in production BEFORE Louisoix's name was even finalized - He's referred to as "Grandpa" internally
Flames of Truth was given the working name "Grandpa's Stands His Ground"
Yoshida revealed that Ishgard was planned to be opened in the 1.0 arc
RE: Live Letter XX - Cynel1 - 04-24-2015
Well its good to know that the Ahriman and the Bomb Palanquin
will be retconned as Flying Mounts later.

I kind of took that as a "we might consider it, but it's mostly us joking around" sort of statement on Yoshi's part. XD

English translation makes it sound like it's coming.
Quote:Q: Do you have plans to make the ahriman, bomb palanquin, and other existing mounts into flying mounts?
A: While it won’t be at the launch of Heavensward, we do plan on addressing this. We’ll need to create the takeoff and landing animations for each one. It will be a gradual process, but you’ll be able to fly with them eventually.
To my eyes, anyway.
