XIV:ARR what SE could change to make the XI Playerbase more Happy

[Arkune]

Is beyond my reasoning because a game should become another game to appeal players of a different game. Is too much asking FFXIV to be his own game ?

Is it his own game? or just a clone from another common MMORPG to make Moneyfor a short period of time? Think about it.

This is not a WoW clone, just like every game it's not a clone because they have a hotbar and tiered progression. also, if you say this is a clone, isn't a contraddiction asking to clone instead a different game ? Because you feel FFXI it's better, a cloning is a cloning, period. And you have no guarantee nor the right to say it would sell better.

edit: say "i dont say it has to be XI-HD" don't change the fact it's what you asked.Also, "but it should more unique" following that sentence it's another contraddiction.

I will admit I miss the way some AF enhanced class abilities and as a BLM I definitely miss magic bursts(especially with ancient magic), but I don't really want to see a return of the stats that went behind making spells more effective. It was a real pain in the behind squeezing every last point out of enfeebling that you could just so enemies wouldn't resist sleep/silence/whatever.

Just give me Nyzul Isle and we'll call it a draw.

Lets see.....


Battlesystem:
.) Back to the 1.2x Battlesystem, Building up TP with Auto-Attack, using Combos or Weapon Skills with your TP.
No...... it worked in FFXI, not in FFXIV.....

.) Let us have Gearswitch System like XI
NO, hell no....... keep that horrible idea away from FFXIV

.) Give us more extra stats like: Haste, Store TP, Sometimes Hits Twice, sometimes Deals Double Damage, Additional Effect: Paralyze/Death/Silence/Slow, Enfeebling Magic, Dark Magic, Elemental Magic, Enhancing Magic, Healing Magic etc,........
Stuff like this is nice, and most likly will be added in at some point.

.) Limit Break for every one in the Party and a unique T3 LB for every Job to start a „Skill Chain“
current limit break is fine, allowing for idevidual LBs would be to over powering in this battle system

End/Content:
.) Open World Content
could use some, might show up later

.) Gear which is worth to farm and not beeing useless after a half year
wont happen, does not in any MMORPG

.) Trigger Spawn HNMs to kill as a Alliance (optional: Scaling down or up by number of PT/Alliance Members)
this would be cool

.) Dungeons "YES" but only as Party to Level UP and Endgame as big Event like Dynamis, Einherjar, Salvage, Limbus.
Dungeons are fine, and there will be more later

.) Fate Events like Bahamut/Odin they working correct but with Rewards they making it worth to hunt em (endgame equip)
already there......

.) Add Unique Abilitys to the Relic Weapons, and put in some more Gil sink/Farm[Rare/Exe] parts that let you work alot longer on that weapon.
Weapons do not need to be game breaking

Jobs & Others:
.) Delete the Ilevel System
this a can agree with

.) More Weapon Choices
more weapons would be nice, but there will always be "that weapon"

.) Supporter Roles like the BRD we had in XI (i heard some PPL Enjoyed this class in XI)
There are support Roles BRD and SCH, even though they are hybrid

We go arround Circles.

Tell me what makes this game different to WoW without Mention the....

Fates
One Character and all Jobs
We have FF Classes/Jobs

Lets see.....

.) Fate Events like Bahamut/Odin they working correct but with Rewards they making it worth to hunt em (endgame equip)
already there......

Could you explain it a bit more? since the Oding and Behemoth gear is "ilevel 50" there is no use for it in the endgame part.

Have you even ever played WoW?

To be honest, if they want to bring in things from XI, it needs to be small and not overly game-changing. Changes to the combat/battle system would be too much at this point. Gear switching should NOT come back. As economically friendly as that is to crafters, it seriously took away from the aesthetics of combat. Every fight and action you took was essentially a contest of who could do the best vanishing act. An LB for everyone would be interesting, but at this point, it'd be too drastic of a change... combat mechanics and all that.

The small things would be open world content, but with some limitations. For example, when it comes to NMs, it would have to be only decent rewards. NMs for lower levels, ones that drop gear around that level. And by gear, I just mean similar to FFXI, in that they drop specific goods, which often pertain to the NM itself (for flavor). Ideally non-trade gear, to avoid RMT manipulation. Just something simple at first. Introduce the concept of camping, but for reasons that pertain to use rather than sale (avoid overcrowding and RMT).

seems he hasn't as this isn't close to being like wow. Though I cannot say for certain as I stopped playing after about mid cataclysm.

....Do you even play ARR? It's far from becoming its own game lol.
