New DOH/DOL sets....

Are we really going back to the multiple sets and insane armory clutter just for individualized looks? Not to mention the insanity of melding? Artisan was such a nice step in the right direction, now we back pedal.

I love everything about the Heavensward update we've seen so far, but this just makes me want to vomit. I'm really hoping there is some kinda auto glamour system for a single set based on job/class equipped, but that is likely wishful thinking.

I personally would also want to see them as shared sets between the DoH and DoL... that way I could even use them for glamouring the battle classes...

But pretty much they will be individual sets all over again... sigh... and the armory was finally breathing some space in... hopefully they will increase the inventory/armory space first?

Considering we are getting new Battle classes, I hope they increase our armory size.

Exactly how I felt about it. I mean, it's great to have individualized looks and everything but melding all that gear quite frankly sucks. Even if it just has the stats right on it and doesn't require melding I don't really want to go back to not having any room in my armory chest, especially with 3 new classes releasing. :|

I like the new looks, but I'm also concerned with Armoury space. But I'm a lot more worried about the "Specialization" ting they mentioned.

they said they are adding some kind of specialization thing for level 50->60 so maybe that's why its individual sets now.

They said they will have a specialization tier which probably means you won't need the new crafter gear for your non specialized crafts.

Chances are they will thankfully be allowing people to specialize in a craft. Step in the right direction if you ask me.

they also kinda HAVE to increase the armoury space since we'll only have a leeway of TWO item slots if we have all classes unlocked

About the specialized thing... didnt they say in the stream that it was something they were talking about?
Thats more like a hearsay at this point, even if the one who commented about it was Yoshi P himself.

Still worrying about space :/

Yeah, I was just starting to like crafting because I didnt have to go through the insanity that was pentamelding every single class. Now I will probably level up my crafters for gear repair and shove them back in the closet.... D:

I like being self-sufficient. ;_; I don't want to have to grind gil in the markets whenever I want something from another class.

Specialization. That's my take on the gear sets at least one part of the whole "specialization" concept they have in mind.

:( I understand that feel. However I think Yoshi-P is against Omni-crafting.

Yoshi-P doesn't care about crafting, that's why the top iLVL gear comes from raids and almost entirely ignores crafting. They're getting rid of Omni-crafting because of people whining about having competition when they want to sell stuff.

Like I said before, I'd really like to see the percentage of the playerbase that crafts now compared to the percentage before they started ****ing up crafting.

I hope the armorer's top can be shared to other DoH classes. It's so smexy!

Ok then let's make it so people have to specialize in a DoW/M class!

This would be a step in the opposite direction and a slap in the face to crafters. desynth limits are bad enough.

Demand equal treatment for ALL CLASSES!

pls no excessive overmelding ;_;

I'm already sad. All the overmelding! /sigh

I agree, maybe we can only specialize in one gatherer and one crafter ... I kinda think this is a step back in this multi-job game, depends on what they mean though :) If it works out for the best and improves the econonmy and social stuff somehow then I'm all for it :)

Actually, crafted gear is extremely powerful and very important if you're a cutting-edge raiding team. It outperforms everything up until the very best gear and allows you quite a bit of customization through melding.

Specialisation should encourage trading. It's nice to be a "jack of all trades" but it gets boring after a while.
