Preferred Roles Character Preference
Not to be confused with the current occupation preferences as you know them, this will not affect rolling a job at all.
We have 3 character slots, the idea is you can give each character slot a list of jobs they are qualified for. Once your job is assigned, if you have a character that has that job selected as preferred and your currently selected character doesn't, you will instead spawn as the character that has the preference selected.
e.g. w/o Engrish
1. Set character slot 1 to prefer jobs A, C, and E
2. Set character slot 2 to prefer jobs B, D, and F
3. Select occupation preference as normal
4. Choose character slot 1
5. Game starts
6. You roll job D
7. You are automatically changed to character slot 2 before you spawn
-- OR --
6. You roll job G
7. You spawn as character slot 1

Or in actual english:
"you pick the job you want not the character you want"

Re: Preferred Roles Character Preference
If you have a character you only want to play as an engineer you can set it so if you roll engineer you'll play as them, but if you roll a different job you'll play as a different character.ExcessiveCobblestone wrote:What's the draw to having this

Re: Preferred Roles Character Preference
i like it but i think there's probably some metagame potential if not done correctly

How so, I dont see how it can be used to metagame.ExcessiveCobblestone wrote:i like it but i think there's probably some metagame potential if not done correctly
the roleplaying QoL this would add would be wonderful, it would mean that certain low education jobs, like janitor, wouldnt go to a character that typically plays scientist or medical doctor.

Not anymore than there already is. The only change is that it would be more likely for players to create the metaknowledge in the first place.ExcessiveCobblestone wrote:i like it but i think there's probably some metagame potential if not done correctly
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

This would be nice, I had the same idea years ago.
