Opinions on 3rd jobs

[Levenn]

As a server admin, i would like to know what your opinions are on 3rd jobs, and why they should be in or out of private servers.

Personally i think there good to have, once they all work that is. They bring a new reason on why you should level. not to mention it would help
in the new world maps.

[Makenshi]

yea, once they work; I think that's the biggest catch. They are designed with the Renewal changes in mind. I'd be perfectly willing to test them, but I don't want a half assed thing if I were to play on a server that I actually want to stay in.

All in all, I suppose no, not at this point in time.

[Levenn]

i agree. I'm sure once there all stable and eAthena switches over to renewal SVNs there going to be a huge hit with private servers.

[Sarin]

Well, I think that race for first really working Renewal server is already on. I don't believe that many servers will be waiting for eA to make the things work.

[Levenn]

i suppose that is true too. i have seen some servers attempting to finish the updates them selves.

[Eradicate]

I was wondering about this too so I'm glad you've made a topic about it. I personally do not like having 3rd Classes - yet anyways. My opinion might change once they are fully working, though, it'd be hard to tell when that would be. The other reason why I do not like these classes is that they are a bit overpowered and don't really work with High Rate environments.

But... It seems like a lot of players are looking for a server with 3rd classes implemented, of course with very little bugs attached. Less than 5 of the top 10 servers have 3rd classes.. and most of them have high population or is growing quickly.

So.. in the end, I think a lot of server owners will end up adding 3rd classes.

I would like 3rd jobs, but not some private server owner's doing. If I was a server owner, I would wait until eAthena is done with them. Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, you're bound to screw something up somewhere trying to put them in yourself. Not to mention that the Renewal isn't even fully supported by eAthena yet from what I've seen(there are still quite a few bugs to be worked out, from what I can see on their forums.) Oh well, you can't build Rome in a day. I foresee many server owners switching to 3rd classes and MANY 99/70 servers popping up(heck, they already started to...)

Personally I'm afraid to play on most 3rd job enabled servers mainly due to the fact
that their jobs seem to complicated and take alot practice with and exploiting the
negatives of them.

[yawnzz]

Not untill renewal mechanics are implemented, they just seem horribly overpowered otherwise.

[!Ffx!]

Well, currently I don't approve of 3rd Jobs in private RO servers yet for the fact they're hard to complete balance out in aspects of pvp, for high and mid rates at least from what I've seen. Not to mention 3-2 is ugly as crap except for like 4 of them. I'll admit I love their concepts though, and just sitting around in some of them is okay.

I guess it depends on your opinion of them, and the opinion of your community. Although in the end it comes down to, Stalker > Shadow Chaser! They don't call them "Chasers" for no reason.

[Roane]

Chaser? I have a more politically correct term for it: Drag Queen. >.>

[chenli]

Yeah, best to have once they work. Don't see the point in having an unfinished class unless you're just a test server.

I'm looking forward to their implementation once they're all done.

i think 3rd job is good...
it must in privat server because we can learn how to play as that 3rd job... what it's skill and other..
