Elements to be Implemented in the March 27th Version Update

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Ever notice the community reps always drop stuff like this on the players on a Friday afternoon? Or is it just me?

[Prophett]

Personally for me I take the "if it's not broke, don't fix it standpoint." Twilight Scythe not broke leave it be, 2hd vs. 1hd Not broke leave it be, Embrava not broke leave it be, PD not broke leave it be. What is the point in changing everything around now after 10 years, SE designed these as they are now, players use these in the way they were originally designed, simply put leave it alone.

I think SE needs to work on COSTS and DROP Rates over stats, abilities, weapons etc.... Make things less time consuming for a BUSY world where there are a lot less extreme player and a whole lot more casual players. Make gear that will last not get phased out every update.

And please fix the damn Inventory issue <---- this should be #1 on the list lol :P

The game changed during those 10 years, and none of those things you said have been around 10 years. One handed and two handed DDs had a balance change before during these 10 years, even though it has been around a while it is not 10 years, and is not ok how it is. If it were ok, you would not see WAR, DRK, and SAM as the best primary DDs in most content, with MNK coming in on any content where it being counted as a one handed job does not screw it. Twilight Scythe I agree, was not and is not broken, what they are doing will make the weapon 100% worthless, taking away one of the few moderatly decent situational weapons that are not a pain to get.

PD and Embrava not broken though? Thats funny, because Embrava alone is the best buff in the game for offense by far, there is no comparison, its double marches from a BRD and an 11 on tactics roll in one with a nice Regen V on top. PD makes you god, immune to everything and take next to no damage so you can do whatever you want to throw out as much damage as fast as possible. Together they are very overpowered and a nerf is needed, one can argue they are going to far in their nerfing as they often do, I argue that myself, but to say they are fine as they are is a long shot.

Costs are effected by the player market unless you are referring to the NPC prices in which case they have been higher recently due to the high inflation caused by Cruor-->Gil trades via Chocobo Blinkers. If the prices were lower then it could cause some problems, for instance if it were 10k for a Voidcluster, no one would care to throw 50k at a NM who they need to kill for a piece of gear, they would solo it or do it with as many as 6 people to cover some procs. That would create problems in a few ways, potentially fewer VW parties to name the most important. So far as drop rates go I whole heartedly agree, drops are so one sided its not funny, some drops are nearly dropped every fight while others are one in a thousand, which needs drastically changed.

Making gear that is not phased out every update has already been done, people use a lot of gear from Abyssea still, people use a lot of gear from VW still, people use a lot of gear from NNI, Salvage II, Odin II, Meeble Burrows, and even Neo-Limbus for some jobs. Is all of the gear still used? No, there are better pieces with each update as there should be, to give interest to the hardcore players, were there no better pieces of gear than there would be no reason to do the content for the hardcore players and as such there would be complaints, just look at Salvage, it didn't beat all of the NNI gear or most of it, there was a lot of complaints after its release.

I agree inventory should be high priority, highest on the list? Maybe, maybe not, it is quite a problem for many people and stop people from doing more events due to inventory constraints however more content should be the highest priority to a point. If there is no content to do then people get bored and quit, if there is no inventory space then people do not do the events because they have no room for the rewards they get from the content. So really they need to balance the two, it does need to be high priority though, and if necessary, they need to make a work around for the PS2, I myself would gladly cut off my ability to ever play the game on that console if it made my characters tied to my account gain +120 inventory space in all areas, totaling at 1200.
