The forgotten Step child: Throwing Weapon

[Shinron-PUP]

I don't think it takes THAT much time and man hours and if it does then maybe they really should upgrade the old system for something better. Remember they are still trying to get new people into the game, how you going to do that if some of the weapons they can have right off and others they can only have at 99?

Nono... I'm not saying they should absolutely make Whips start at 99 or other weapons, but it is an option if they're not creating new weapons because it takes too many man hours. I, on the other hand, don't think it's too unreasonable to create a weapon that starts at 99. You would still have the option to use the old content weapons to get to 99, so it's not necessarily like you won't have a way to get to 99, but once you hit 99 then you can have access to even greater items like a whip or a chakram weapon. I mean these ideas are not too far off from how unlocking a main class works. You can't unlock Summoner or the other advanced jobs until you're lvl. 30, same thing might work for whips... You can't use a Whip until you're Lv. 99 and have played with some of the older weapons. But I would absolutely take lv. 1-119 whips any day lol.

And remember they do have chakrams and boomerangs at like level 15 and stuff so...what would you propose they do with them? Just chuck them all?

Also they wouldn't throw them away. For Chakrams, I meant that they would just create weapon skills that started at lv. 99 rather than Lv. 1, so that they wouldn't need to go so far back and create 10+ different weapon skills that are going to end up being useless anyway in comparison to the 119 version. Again, I would take 1~119 weapon skills any day over 99~119, but this is just another way for Square Enix to conserve man hours on unnecessary things. (Of course it would be kinda boring not getting a weapon skill for chakram until like 350+ skill).

But if they did it that way people might say (once again) SE is only making a half-hearted attempt. So if they are going to do it they should go "all in" to make sure people know they are really trying.

I'm sure they would say something like that, but you can't please everybody... It's just the way things work... I bet you 100 Million gil that if some person had created a forum post suggesting the same exact idea of adding "Trust Innitiatives" that would allow players to summon old NPCs from missions and quests to fight along side you, everyone and their momma would be like "Absolutely not". However, people using trust NPCs now think it's one of the best things Square Enix has implemented in a long time. It's just the bitter irony of FFXI... People love to hate something until it's implemented then they actually like it.

Well I'll give you that, you can't so we'll just have to see if they think it's worth it to start at level 1 or not.

Throwing should be the solution to helping NINs DD.
