[dev1244] Accessory Reform, discussion

I fear for the Goldsmithing industry who now have less demand for earrings. We may need a bailout ...

I agree with the reform. Less to deal with, and more focus. Oh, and, more inventory space, :D!. When you're holding accessories for 4 different jobs, this kind of reform is a godsend.

Depends on the new stats honestly.

from this changes we can feel, original FF14 gave players from freedom to make own decision, but players dont like it, dumb ppl dont like complicated stuffs, they just want less combination, less brain work.
i really hate those ff11-lization trend. but no choice, ff14 proved not workable on low IQ market.

No.

Smart people knows balancing 12 accs instead of 5 accs means longer patch delays.
Balancing team can spend time on better time than stupid issues like this.

so what is your point?
btw can you count? right now how many accessories you can wear? 12?

well, you logic is hard to balance the complicated stuffs, so make it simple and dumb.

that is just what i said.

I am saying more your preference on more accessories doesnt make you smarter.

A 50% cut in usage of earrings is going to hit demand hard, no matter the stats. If a law was passed tomorrow saying that each household can only own 1 car, the automobile industry would take a nasty hit ... no matter how awesome or poor the mileage of that one new car may be.

just wondering in the 1.21 would I be able to wear str ring, dex ring, and piety ring of my choice.... or can I meld str materia to dex ring? if i can't have that many slots.

You can't wear 12 accessories right now but the combinations exist. The developers would have to account for any and all combination of current accessories when creating and balancing new content. With the new system they only have to account for the 5 accessories, not to mention no variance on spots the accessories are used in. People will use all 5 slots.
