Down with Gear Swapping!

[Dale]

Gear Swapping shouldn't be allowed in the game, I full time my AF3+2 and off hand my Relic with my Mythic, I can't bring myself to do an Empyrean after all the work I did and all the people I used to get my Relic and Mythic

Please SE add a penalty for Gear Swapping(Like in Brenner and Ballista), do you really think an NM is going to sit and watch you get undressed, then re-dress in front of them just so you can cast Ni 3 seconds faster? If I was Alfard I would stomp on the player in the middle of their gear change, I don't have all day to watch a Mithra get undressed to put on a bunch of Evasion Gear, or watch a Galka get undressed to put on a bunch of other gear to use Tachi: Jinpu

An interesting post, and I do feel there a problems with the way this game handles gear-swapping. The system deffinitely needs an overhual, i'll give you that. In fact if there is one thing on this game I wish SE would pay attention it's this.

Rather it's the annoying "blink" effect that occurs, wiping the current target of your entire party or your combat log being flooded with this useless and irritating equipment changed messages, it can drive me nuts.

I'm not against gear swapping as an added form of game play. But I do feel if they are going to make it part of the gameplay, they need to make it less clunky and more user-friendly - else I agree with you, they should just scrap it and not allow players to change gear during battle.

I doubt they are going to do this though, especially since there are so many annoying moves monsters do that remove equipment and such, as those would obviously have to be re-worked.
