Draw Points

Like in FF8 where you draw magic instead you draw buffs that last you 1~5 hours or until you die. Can only draw out 2 random buffs outta the 9 group sections. Can only have 1 buff from each group section. Can only draw buffs from it every 7 hours.
Draw Points can only be drawn up to 10 times and after that it despawns and appears in another spot.
(Once total of 150 draws have been taken on a sever all the draw points will shutdown and respawn at next hamlet reset. There will only be 5 draw points up alwas until their 150 draws have been used) (There is total of 30-40 draw points. One in each area.)
Can likely get the buffs you want by changing classes before talking to the draw points.(Resets like Hamlet) Draw Points can only be found outside or caves.

This is like Mog Tablets in FFXI. Semi-Rare to find one and obtain exp/gift after finding one. Instead of exp ring have it be like a food buff with EXP bonus that only lasts for period of time.

Trying to think what could FF8 could bring to ARR. Everyone hated drawing magic from enemies and equiping it to slots.
I did like FF8 idea about draw points in the earth though. Something like.. Drawing Aethright steam outta the planet. XD

I could never find a Mog Tablet in FFXI. Be nice if these draw points were much easyer to obatin. Something like 5-8 draw points up at a time after reset. Would let 500 players be able to draw 2 random buffs that found a draw point.

You might want to change "anima" to something so it wouldn't cause more people breaking "NDA."

Anyways, I think it would be a good idea for solo players without a healer or buffer. You know, it's very hard to say right now until we try BETA. xP

I don't wanna see it as a game-breaker but still... Good Think! I support this thread. :o

why not. i'm all for that best-of-final-fantasy-online thing.

Sure, but the entire FF8 Draw system certainly is not part of the "best-of-final-fantasy".

what's in the eye of the beholder.
and we're not talking about the disputable junction system - only the draw points.

i think they were cool.
as an appeal for exploration they could also place some HQ draw points with sweet enhancements at places that are hard to find / hard to get to.

is there a thread for secret doors yet? Oo

An interesting concept, but one that I can foresee being given to a lot of abuse sadly - inevitably someone would discover an exploit for using a buff draw repeatedly, and then in an attempt to stop the exploit SE would just end up nerfing the whole system with a patch, virtually ruining it for everyone else.

1.0 had something vaguely similar when you started levequests at an aetheryte where you could invoke your guardian from the Twelve to confer a 'Guardian's Blessing' buff for a short while, but that ability was removed on a patch (apparently replaced with the /pray command for the 7th Umbral Era storyline as I understand it).

Maybe it could be reinstated for ARR, or make it that when you touch an aetheryte you can select a short term status buff like the draw point idea, but have it so that doing so would use anima, hence reducing the tendency for people to abuse it. Either way, I like this idea. :)

Meanwhile, the RMTs are all camping the Flare draw point spawns....

If only it werent so DoM specific.... I can see running a dungeon and the whm runs out of cure spells or blm runs out of nukes..
I like the unique-ness of this idea, but I don't think it plays well on a mmo level.

Gunblades are coming to ARR (they were already in 1.0 as Imperial weapons). I would like some concept like Gardens. Maybe Free Companies will be like Gardens, mobile mercenary bases (IE Huge flying fortresses that house our personal airships or something I dunno).

In term of "boost" functionality, how is this draw point system different then the existing food and GC items?

If no much, then the related question is, do we need another "boost" system in addition to the existing food / GC item system?

jc

I like the idea but i think it can be changed a little like if you draw from a point that is fire based it give the person fire defense if not thm/blm or if a draw point for DoL could give half the exp gain to non DoL class/jobs so people can still use but with different effects the one time use per day I like it helps keep people from over using points and points can be placed in spots that go with the power of the point like a fire point can be in a fire or water point in a river or pond.. stuff like that

I like this idea. Keep the buffs simple and extend duration a little i think, say 3 hrs each. Making these rare buffs obviously better then food.

Guarding aspect was replaced with rested bonus. I think just for style. As far as I know there was no abuse of the former

Good ideas but let the dev team finish the game, release it, and go from there. Seems to me that a lot of threads are requests of so many different things people want in the game too soon. The game can't have ten years of content in its third year or for new new people the first year.

Redid the rules of the draw point a bit.

Can only draw 10 times at 1 draw point then it despawns and reappears somewhere else.
Once 150 draws have been taken place all the draw points despawn and then reappear at next hamlet reset.

Edit it to 10x a draw point & 150 every 24hrs.

Increased the duration of alot of them. Mainly cus players need to travel places to do stuff or players will just stand around and wait without using the buffs. Also added caps/limits to how much you can use the buff. Such as exp limits.

Kind of hacked together with some super weird numbers... There may be some ballance issues. I feel like this isnt related to draw.

Read the OP^^, he talks about drawing buffs from points, not spells ;)

I think this idea is pretty cool; FF8 was my favorite FF so far so if we ever get any FF8 elements in the game I'm going to squeal with delight lol.

why not just buy potions for the same stats it will help the economy.

Shouldn't be too much unbalancing. If anything should give your a small boost in any fight/craft/gather. And when you die you lose it and gotta wait 7 hours.

Some Draw's are really rare & random so its very unlikely many players would stack and use it.
Mainly its for crafters,noobies exping and coming across them,gatherers and restoring some anima.

Odds of each group is listed so players often get same buffs and very few get the rare buffs.
