Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

I mean, people keep asking for Chemist even though we literally have a class called Alchemist that makes potions. It's just a crafting class instead of a combat class.

What's wrong with giving people things they want?

I mean, if we finally do get a Chemist class, it'll have some other Olde Arkhaic Nayme to further differentiate it from Alchemy. It'll be like "War Chymist", and be abbreviated WRC, or something.

While my understanding of Balmung (I've never been able to get into it) is that it's relatively tame in public, note that you can log in to Mateus, walk into the Quicksand to complete the first quest, and immediately find yourself surrounded by people openly ERPing. Choose your starting server wisely :v:
It was never this bad when I was on Mateus, but most of the people on there are terrible and lazy so why would you RP with them?

"Functionally haste" is not "Haste, the iconic FF spell." I mean, does wearing skill speed gear count as Haste too? There's room for some mechanical overlap, but we don't have the Time Mage kit.

Yes, it does. There is literally a status bonus called Haste for gear which has the same effect as increasing your skill speed.

There are! Once you hit rank 8 with all tribes, you even unlock a special sidequest to get them all to 9.

Time mage is such a niche class it doesn't work except as part of another class. AST is the closest you were ever going to get to it.

like, what is the time mage "kit"? Because from what I can remember of FFT, it was haste, slow, stop, a couple of status effects that would be way too powerful to put in this game in any meaningful manner, and then comet. So what're they gonna be, a caster dps with the best support spells in the game? A healer with the best support spells in the game? Both of those would become mandatory almost immediately.

Oh it had float too. lol.

I'm just imagining a healer whose dps spell was giving someone else their GCD so that you could double your skill speed and now I think time mage is a great idea

Actual Haste is a spell cast by enemy mobs/NPCs and is attainable by PCs as a stat through some very rare Eureka gear.

Before it was changed, Spear was also a sort of Haste since it would reduce ogcds.

This is the first time I've left mid-duty in probably close to 3 years. Healer kept falling asleep at the wheel on Magna Roader and our DRG took the cannon and managed to fire three blanks while getting run over. I just needed one more run to get to 70! C'mon!

If they add another melee DPS I hope it's Foebreaker, I'd love a second Maiming equipment melee class and they could get hammers as their weapon and hand-bomb AOEs.

I'd be glad for most of these being gone but I'd miss Synastry, it's a really unique and useful tool for managing healing output.

Public space RP is universally terrible on any MMO, to be honest, though the ERP gets overstated.

Most people who are serious about it on Mateus (and there's a pretty good community here, honest!) are in dedicated FCs, you aren't going to find them in the Quicksand.
