What I mean by basic battle mechanics are things like attack vs defense, magic, PDT / MDT and gear swaps. Removing gear swaps nerfs the magic based users, hence the melee jobs spiking up to the top. People talk about strategy but honestly when we only have ~1600 HP it would be trivial for any DD to whack that down. That forces everyone to wear PDT and it just kinda snowballs from there.

Currently the top three for one on one are RDM, PLD and BLU. It's due to their survivability and vast array for cheap moves (RDM and BLU). In order to "balance" against that you'd have to reduce the effectiveness of those moves, yet if you do that those jobs suddenly become crap compared to the melee's. I mentioned the above melees for group play, they would just gang up on one opponent and immediately kill them, then move on to another, while the enemy team does the same to them. Bringing a healer wouldn't work as they would be the first person to immediately die and would leave one team with 3 melee's vs 4 melees.

It just gets stupid as each scenario is played out, players will always seek the fastest and most "efficient" way to win not the "way it was meant to be played". FFXI just has too many holes in it.

---

---------------------
I hear ya and again, I agree, but apparently they are in fact investing in the Play as Monster system so they could be fixing a few things about the system in order to make that system work. I was saying earlier that I was wondering if they're going to lock gear swapping for the players that are the fighting the monster player for the same reason they locked it for our other current PvP systems. If they do in fact allow gear swaps for those players, the problem will be no different on the players playing the monsters, and they'll quickly lose their target lock on whichever target does so.

The strange thing is, that new "/display head off" command can make a helmet invisible on a player character yet still maintain the stats system side. Why cant the Devs create an invisible target that can be locked onto within our floating name text that can be invisible player side and remain regardless if we gear swap or not? Yes even if we've have "/names" toggled off, it would resemble the new /display head functionality in that the information is of course "still there" but just invisible. Seems like an easy solution since our names remain even during gear swapping.

In regards to the battle mechanics, players would indeed need HP in the upwards 6k+ range and the -PDT/-MDT to take the spike damage from Damage Dealers and Mages down a bit to allow players a chance to even survive long enough to make any battle contributions. The "gang up on the important guy" strategy would however be apart of the game no matter what I'm afraid. It's apart of most war/battle strategies in the real world in fact; "Taking out the most integral part of your combatants army to cripple their ability to fight smoothly". Every team would have to devise an opposing strategy to this logic before entering into battle.

To address the "effectiveness of certain spells", like the bump to -PDT/-MDT that would help to ease the spike damage from Damage dealers in the official mode of play, I suggested this in the OP:

"Curbing The Effect of Certain Magic Spells
All magic spells and TP moves during PvP matches that inflict Stun, Petrification, Bind, Silence, Gravity, or Sleep will have a maximum duration of up to 5 seconds. Players will rapidly build resistance after being effected by these types of status effects multiple times until finally becoming immune.

The problem with FFXI's current system is that the relative offense, defense, and support capabilities against targets with player level stats is completely disproportionate. It isn't just a matter of adjusting X ability by 4.5% or increasing the recast on Y ability by 50%. When it comes to a PvP setting, some classes are always going to bring far, far more to the table than others. "Working together" doesn't fix all the problems.

Not a lot of people want to see content implemented that inherently is only going to allow specific jobs to be competitive. Most people would rather see content designed to keep as many jobs as possible at least vaguely competitive. This is also an almost exclusively PvE game that has been out for ten years. No PvP content is going to attract that many players and most PvP focused players never bothered with this game in the first place.

-------------------------
Unfortunate, but true. Thanks for the feedback /

The 1st point in bold, however, is based on if players are unable to gear swap and are fighting based on their native ffxi battle parameters which I've agreed would need to be altered greatly to make PvP viable and fair. If players were allowed the same flexibility to gear swap and plan accordingly should they find themselves facing one of those job classes that are built to last along with some added help to HP, -PDT/-MDT, curbing certain spells/TP moves and refresh/regen, there could be a chance they could fairly contend with enough skill.

The 2nd point is completely based on the Devs ability to create a "fair system" that players can enjoy. That, and what Sparthos posted earlier--

The "Fun factor" of most competitive PvP games comes down to having either equal footing, or having the chance to plan ahead to create that equal footing should the players want to increase the difficulty by choosing to play with a character that is slower or unable to cast magic vs a faster character or a mage.

No, they aren't you are trying to put words in my mouth. No amount of preparation can change the core aspects and abilities of how the classes work. Play a Bard then play a Red Mage, then try to say with a straight face that sufficient preparation and equipment selection is going to prevent the Bard from becoming a greasy smear if a semi-competent Red Mage decides they are a threat. Red Mages have multiple ways of stopping them from getting songs off and huge windows to do it. Red Mages also have vastly superior defenses against Bard debuffs.

Again, it's not a matter of adjusting some minor effects to abilities. Many abilities are simply useless or irrelevant against players. Certain things that don't matter against AI opponents are crippling against a human opponent. Hate control abilities are completely irrelevant. Removing out core abilities, which is required to make an even vaguely balanced PvP environment, just upsets anyone that wants to play the class.

Not putting words in your mouth, just driving home the point that with preparation (AND battle system enhancements) that BRD could possibly have a fighting chance to survive a RDMs onslaught.

Unfortunately, I can't speak with an educated tone on either job's full potential to overcome the other if a die hard player was at the helm controlling each in a heated PvP match that allowed them the full array of battle variety as if they were fighting under normal circumstances. I just know that if nothing else, over the years, ffxi players have continued to push the parameters of what certain jobs designed for one thing can do outside of that design.

Again, that doesn't mean that a WHM can MATCH the exact Damage Dealing prowess of that of a WAR, but with enough skill (and planning/balanced system help), that WHM can not only survive a WAR's barrage but also dish out a nice amount of damage if equipped properly to do so. Would it mean they're designed to do so based on their "core aspects" of the current ffxi battle system? No, not really, but it is possible. (I have played WHM extensively enough to speak on that jobs potential ^^)

Personally I'd just like to see some sort of competitive element in FFXI, it feels that once players reach the end game it's all about the best gear or merit combinations, a leaderboard for something would be nice, aside from BCNM time records. It doesn't necessarily have to be direct PVP either, just some way to distinguish the top player(s) per job, linkshell(s) per job, player(s) per server and linkshell(s) per server would be nice.

Years ago SE stated they support the idea of pvp but with the requirement that it offer something more than simply playing whack a mole with one another, that's where we got Ballista and Brenner. Schedules, island reservations, these things ruined pvp for FFXI. The spirit of competition and want to stab your fellow adventurers until they stop moving should be more than enough to do that without so many variables thrown in to convolute the situation. OP's idea is simple, and awesome.

Sorry but this kind of response is arrogance at its best, I did the limited PVP on this game before. Unless you sub nin at the time you weren't gonna get anywhere. Too many jobs are highly overpowered that it would be a pissing match more then an actual fight that has anything close to strategy. I remember someone using brd with hoards lullaby to sleep the other party then a sam came up with full tp and killed our whm with 1 shot. I know about using poison to prevent this but for people with stone skin that didn't work.

Summoner wouldn't do anywhere close to good in this, you'd just ignor our avatar use movement speed bonus gear and chase us down.

But on a side note isn't there that Colosseum in whitegate that never got used?

I've always found players' collective reaction to PVP to be rather interesting.

This game attracts in droves players that profess to loathe PVP... but have readily competed with each other in the past over timed spawns and battlefields. I'm sure it would make for an amusing study from both sociological and psychological standpoints.

Saevel raised the most important point in devs willingness to commit to quality PVP content, which has been sporadic at best. Adjustments to Ballista and Brenner, since their inception, have been half-hearted, and they utterly failed to follow through with the PVP arena that was rumoured to debut in Aht Urgan. They seem more interested in making players compete indirectly, rather than allowing direct competition simply in the spirit thereof.

A secondary concern is class balance. Simply put, some jobs are more ideal for PVP than others; hybrids like RDM, BLU, and even DNC would dominate duel-type PVP, where more specialized classes like WAR or WHM could best place their hopes in team fights where they could take out those better-equipped classes with help. The exclusionary phenomena we experience in events would carry over, except that without PVP offering rewards such as treasure the likes of that found in Voidwatch or Legion, the PVP content would be left to languish.

i play the job very well thank you, but if you have a war chasing you with full tp lets see how long you'll survive when they use a emp/relic/myth weaponskill on you, unless you have earthern armor on with its limited duration your dead.

FFXI needs some real PvP not the gimmicky crap we have been stuck with for years, and def not some play as a monster if you want to PvP nonsense. Put it in a central location. Make it accessible to everyone, and it will be popular.

Nuke hard nuke fast no mercy for the -300 fire resistance wearing war....... adapt or death will be your fate.

each job got a weak point and strong point, learn how to use it well. who ever was saying about the war chasing smn etc, learn what smn can do to shutdown/slowdown his movement speed, check his gear, and know what he got,

let see if i was the smn and fighting war/dnc? /sam /nin? i would try spaming sleepga on him if he not playing by the item rules, or diabolos him down, with the gravity spam move, i may /rdm and full buffed on pdt or /nin him. it a few possible ways of winning but i dont feel like going over them. but ya you get the idea. all about trial and error

Simply not possible without retooling the entire game.

Basic game mechanics are balanced for PC's vs ridiculously strong yet stupid monsters. Players are much more capable of exploiting game mechanics like WS distance and CC's then monsters are. What would start out as "fun" would quickly deteriorate into rabid hate as those without the pimped "chosen" jobs would be pissed at their disadvantage. Pet jobs are a prime example, PvE the player can control and manipulate monster enmity to force their pet to tank, no such method exists and their pets mind as well not even be there. Pure melee's are also at an extreme disadvantage as mages / hybrids can use CC to keep the pure DD at a distance or enfeeble them so as to make them easy to kill. In that same regard pure mages lose traction to the hybrids like BLU and RDM. If SE allowed for PvP then you'd see nothing but a swarm of BLU's and a few crafty RDM's killing everyone, this would be followed by great wailing and gnashing of teeth.

If SE were to nerf enfeebling effects / magic damage then it would make the mages / hybrids nigh useless and every fight would be who can spam the most high damage WS's, MS WAR, SAM and MNK domination. You get the exact same gnashing of teeth.

There is no way for SE to win, no matter what they do one segment of the player base will hate them and claim whatever system they implemented was unfair. That is why they had the idea of Player vs Player Monster (PvPM) as a compromise. It allows them to maintain the core PvE mechanics (accuracy / evasion / LCF / pDiff / MA / ME / ect..) of the game and still allow players to combat each other. One player simply isn't a "player" anymore and instead becomes the NM with 20K or more HP, the super moves and all the resistances native to that NM but without the players equipment swaps and abilities.

and if bind doesn't work? Last i checked summoner didn't have a way to bind that wasn't a rage ability so when do i nuke?? 45 seconds later and hope for the best? In that time my avatar could be dead or even health fodder for someone with drain samba.

Also since its PVP would my avatar auto-protect me or just sit there waiting for a command. Like many others said this game was made for PVE so PVP doens't work to well.

If you really want PVP go play a game based on it, Or is it that it was to much for most people and they have to make a PVE game with severely unbalanced jobs into one so they can feel better about themselves.

As i said before i know my job and knowing the job i know the limitations to it. Outside of abyssea our avatars can only survive a short time against any mob with power. Yes i can come /nin and have shadows but then when would i get a chance to heal myself? stop attacking to use carby on myself or garuda? I know most ppl would poison themselves so diablos can't sleep them, and as for ramuh i can have shock squall last for 1min easily and other times its over before i even had a chance to cast it.

My smn magic is 4lvls from cap i have been sought out for tips how to play. Stop living in the state of grandeur that i don't know this job and you do when you can't even admit there is limitations to it. If SE would finally give our abilities the boost they need then we can talk but coming for a bst who gets new pets every month you can't talk.

have you ever seen them buffed up to god mages with pdt? rdm whm sch blm blu even brd etc? the ones most DDs just cant kill with physical dmg alone and ignore them in the OM battles and can be only killed by magic mostly?

smn also got that kinda pdt. just have to learn what and how to use it:)

I remember seeing a clip on the ffxi youtube page were ppl were doing pvp in what looked like a football feild then I remember WG has a small part that is not out yet and no one has no idea what that is for

Sub SCH, use Addendum: Black and gear yourself halfway right and your bind won't miss.Then you're free to ram pointy objects into the gooch of your enemy. While my job does get new pets on a semi-regular basis, most of them have zero utility, nearly all of the Ready moves are the same thing (physical TP moves) with different names. There are obvious exceptions like Fantod and Harden Shell, but those are very few. Most of our variety comes in the form of getting ourselves killed in new and interesting ways, PVP content is the same. I've lost as many fights as I've won, and often it comes down to who has better timing and/or dancing in and out of WS range.

I'm not sure why you're trying to use the "play another game" argument for this, it's not like you're getting your arm twisted to try it out, but why be negative about it before even giving it a chance? I can tell from what you posted about the "what if..." scenario involving bind that you don't do this sort of thing on a regular basis, so why bash others for wanting to enjoy a piece of content that you won't use yourself? You don't hate fun, do you?

But what your are saying is hypocritical, from my original post you have done nothing but try to belittle me for my own personal opinion on this matter. I don't care in the slightest for PVP, i've played many games with the feature and it and i never understood the fun behind it. That was the main reason i join this game, no PVP except for sanctioned spots and i liked that, no one to harass me into fighting them right there and then cause i outclamed them or stepped on there foot.

Personally i don't know sch so well and using it as a sub with summoner i'm not sure how well any enfeebling magic would work.

I have fun in this game working with others to achieve a goal which sometimes players forget about, I just love at times you can be shouting for some old content and people who have already done it join just to help. To me that is fun.

I also said in previous posts that i think they should open the stadium in WG and allow people to go at it. Hell even have spectator seats so we can throw flowers and gil at them at the end. Hell even randomly throw in a joker and have some NPC contender jump in.

The only native enfeebling spells SCH has are Sleep, Sleep II, and Dispel. And only Sleep and Dispel are available from SCH as a support job.

If you feel I've insulted you and have done nothing but belittle you, then that's your problem.

Also, I'm terribly sorry for being inaccurate about Bind, I am such a bad kitty. I should have suggested subbing BitterMage rather than Scholar.

Well really /BLM isn't to great as SMN being that your Enfeebling Magic skill would be low, /SCH has the advantage of giving you high level skills. Either way the point was that your idea on what to do was actually inaccurate, and unable to be used or worthwhile as a SMN. I wont say SMN is worthless in PvP though, thats still not entirely true.

I don't PvP much myself but I have done it a few times for fun. I would think a SMN/RDM with some Enhancing gear, casting Phalanx at the start, then using a good amount of PDT gear would make themselves fairly well defended. After that the SMN would still have their Avatar to fight, and so long as Phalanx isn't Dispelled, it should be a good defense for the SMN. Since I have never played a Pet job in PvP I'm not sure how it works in relation to other jobs, but it may even be possible to change back to enhancing magic so you can recast Phalanx as needed, so long as the Avatar is not effected by the penalty.

There are truly a number of ways to fight an enemy in PvP, and I have no doubt that a SMN, or any other job, can be a powerful opponent given the right plan of attack, gear, and skill.

I was inaccurate on the use of a single spell, which is easily replaced by one of several other spells that achieve the same effect of rooting an opponent in place, which is standard mage pvp strategy in any game. Like I said, I'm a bad kitty, but that doesn't make my entire post inaccurate. I then suggested BitterMage (Red hats yo), as it's probably a better sub anyway. Phalanx, Gravity, Bind etc. is more than enough to shut down any melee and allow the Summoner to get to work with BPs.

You could also try screwing around with the stratagem that widens the effect of single target black magic to hit multiple foes, those are always fun to use on unsuspecting groups of tightly clustered mouth breathers.

Not to mention it removed the potential problem of Blink or Shadows, as it becomes AoE and wipes them. Also never heard RDM refered to as something as stupid as "Bittermage" so I figured you meant BLM. In either case, /Anything will still have a much lower chance to stick due to the problems you would have with lacking skill level, which I would think would make a difference.

By the way, kingfury, you should start making comics out of your illustrations, I know I'd read it. ^^

You would think it would make a difference, but all the times I've tried it there's been no problem. I could be wrong, but in my experience with it I've only ever seen enfeebles get blocked by shadows, never resisted. I have no idea if I and my opponents were just getting lucky though.

Well I know its possible to resist, I have fought someone with alot of resist gear on and my Sleep/Break never landed while I was on RDM with capped skills, so its possible to resist. Not sure how much skill would effect it in PvP without resist gear though, sounds like skill wouldn't make to big of an impact so /RDM may work, but not sure.

Dearest KingFury,

Please would you make me a sig.
My request is on page 1 :)
Please make my posts look more awesome in future :)

Thanks.

+1 For artwork alone!

I didn't read the whole thread, but I think what you're waiting for is the 'play as a monster' event they're working on.

Any chance a community rep could give us an update on that?

Needs more mithra nut shot.

Good ideas.

The less they molest character stats inside specific battle systems the better.

You make great art, but many of your recommendations, such as the 5 second max to enfeebles is very misguided.

Keep all the neat match-making/whatever, but keep specific equipment that works only in certain areas/modes (lol legion gear is an example) as far away from the game as possible, and leave the character stats alone.

You enter with what your armor/gear gives you and that's it.
Keep the current enhanced resistance enfeebling/diminishing returns.


Again neat concept art, your ideas however are not very good.
