@kitpaii Bard is one of those jobs that's easy to pick up but a bit hard to master. It has a ton of skills to utilize and people do typically judge if you're not using your full toolkit to help the party (granted, every class is pretty much like that, but with Bard as support, your job is much more about helping others do THEIR best instead of topping your own DPS alone). I picked it up and levelled through potd, and I'm not confident in managing so many skills (as a whm main that uses what.... 5 moves? Lol not even a rotation so); I quickly dropped it and picked up Dragoon. But of course if you enjoy the class, play it how you're comfortable- learning any role just takes time and practice, so go for it! And ignore the people who will definitely yell at you for not playing songs if you'd forgotten to..;;
In any case, here's a level 60 guide for bard at the bottom of all these other job guides, so check them out! https://www.mooglemedia.com/category/guides/
melliex Yeah so far, only Party Finder makes it available for you to group up with players of different worlds as long as they're in the same data center (Primal, Aether, etc). Y'all could always just make a password-protected party to run sastasha unsynced (or anything) if you just wanna hang out and chat a bit LOLOL. And yeah, the high-pop servers in NA are already getting filled fast with new players, so you have to watch the updates to see when they're open. (Luckily if you just transfer over then you don't have to worry about it, though.)
EDIT WHY DO I TYPE SO MUCH EW SORRY
