[byr1001] Uncapping the Merit Point Categories

[Demon6324236]

Read where I said "Forsaken". Technically, PLD should be on that one, too. RDM isn't a nuker, nor a healer, it's an enfeebler.

Yes I saw Forsaken, and Ultima, however these still have little to do with Impact. You said it yourself, RDM is an enfeebler, Impact is a Nuke & an Enfeeble in 1, BLM & RDM should both be on it for this reason.

Edit:Actualy look at what you said even...

WHM/RDM/SCH
Forsaken - A Light based Dia/Bio hybrid.
BLM/RDM/SCH
Ultima - Non-elemental magic damage (Unaffected by Manifestation)
BLM/DRK
Impact - Just make Impact unlockable via merits.

You gave a pure nuke, Ultima, to RDM, however refuse Impact for the reason its a Nuke+Enfeeble?

I disgree. Why, you may ask? Balance.

Honestly, Take my suggestion as you want, hope for what you want. I was talking out of my ass on that suggestion, the rest of the WS merit category is what I put actual thought into.

Personally, I doubt that any of those would be approved, as interesting as Forsaken and Ultima would be, if we ever did get spells of that caliber, they'd likely have some different mechanic, like Meteor doing more dmg with multiple casts at once, or any of the Unbridled Learning spells only available under said effect.

Then why are you mad? Like I said, talking out of my ass.

Not mad, pointing out adjustments I think should be made to your ideas, giving my own opinion. Me being mad does not happen often, and when I am mad, I am stupid, take the time I was fighting with Fupa in the NNI thread over in Battle Content, that is me being mad, this is just me trying to give better ideas so on the 0.0001% chance SE looks into ideas we have here, they will potentially be better ideas in the end.

Oh, my bad. Go on then.

In light of this:

Good morning everyone!

Hello everyone.

Thanks for all of the "likes" and messages in response to the post I made the other day!

As I wrote in the Message from the Producer, there is a ton to catch up on from the past two years and I've been doing my best each day to do just that. However, even if I do my best I don’t think this gap is something that I can completely fill by myself, so I would really appreciate everyone's help.

Now then, I'd like you all to tell me what you would like me to focus on. Anything is fine.

However, I would like you to keep in mind and agree to the following:

Do not attack or flame others, including myself.
Be specific and concrete. We won't be able to accomplish anything if posts are unclear or full of attacks.
Instead of saying what you "don’t want," tell me what you "want."
Tell me what it is that YOU prefer. Not what your friends or linkshell members say, I want to hear from you specifically.


Please make your posts as a reply to this thread (I will also be taking into consideration the amount of "likes" each post receives). As a general rule, feedback should be posted in the appropriate thread, so once we collected enough post in this thread and after an appropriate amount of time, we'll close the thread. Also please limit replies to your opinions only and if you would like to discuss specific points, please utilize appropriate threads for each topic.

I will be doing my best to look over each and every post made. (Though, I am sure it will take some time…) Your opinions will definitely play a part in helping me fill in the gap from these past two years as well as for thinking about the future of FINAL FANTASY XI.

In addition to the work for currently scheduled version updates, there is also a lot of work to be done for the new expansion, "Seeker of Adoulin," so I don’t think there will be very many things we can do immediately and I’d like to apologize for that.

Also, I don’t believe it will be possible to have every single thing come to fruition, due to the fact that there may be content that is contradictory or things that no matter how hard we try it is just not feasible.

I will first be making sure that I accurately understand what you would like and then will determine if it is possible or not, and assign a priority level to it. I will be sharing this with you all and making it so together we can see the picture of how FINAL FANTASY XI will change going forward. I feel this is something the community needs and though it might not be quite so easy, it is a method I would like to adopt.

Thank you very much!

I’d like to share a message from Producer Akihiko Matsui:

I declare bump!

[Zhronne]

I think Matsui wants us to put all these ideas into the thread he opened though. Byrth why don't you sum up your initial post and post it there on that thread? Also putting a link to this thread for further and more detailed explanation.

i think there should be a quest after everything has been merited which allows you to merit the character stats after a LOT of merits have been gained and would have a relic/mythic/empyrean type feel to it, for example: each 5000 merits will gain you an extra merit into say 10HP, 10MP, 1 STR, 1 DEX, 1 VIT etc so there would be almost no end to how much you can power up your character over a very long time

maybe one day will have some dragon ball z fan saying "HIS HP.... ITS OVER 9000 !!!"

think a galka mnk or pld/mnk with HP atmas can break 9k <.<

Galka + MNK + HP% Gear + HP Atma = Win
