[Suggestion] Trial of the Magians

[CrAZYVIC]

We have two problems with this awesome Suggestion.

1.- The stats in this game are REALLY BORING, BAD CALCULATED and MEANINGLESS. The Haste or Skill speed in this game is wortless, the critical hit rate dont work as intented is just second tier forgotten stat and the main stats function in a Horrible way even adding 30 points of STR can equal 1 - 3% more DPS in some Classes.

When you make a game with Stats so insipid. Is hard find inspiration for "work" in boost them with passion like in FFXI.

In FFXI build your Haste Set up, your WS set your, Attack/Acu Set up was thrilling. In ARR probably will be only wasted time. Until they change the way Skill Speed operate, Critical Hit and STR/DEX etc, for give those stats a strong meaning "Trial Magians will never work in ARR".

2.- You can see for the amount of Likes in your post. How the people in ARR misprice the "Hard work".

ARR deserve this. Because is Heavely inspired in FFXIII-1 a Total Linear game, with a Horrible Storyline. The JP players are already punishing with the Sales Square enix. A game dont deserve to be punished. FFXIII - 2 , because this game are x100 times better than the garbage square enix did with FFXIII - 1. Even FFX Remastered, outsold Lighting Returns in japan.

Having masterpieces like. FF6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Take inspiration in the worse FF game for ARR is Shameful. Yes im one those hermit who think FFXIV Ver 1.0, haved more soul and was more interesing than ARR.

Returning to the topic. After of expose my impotence and bitterness.

A Trial Magian System Removing NMS Hunts, WS on certain Targets and another Tedious trials. Could Be really Fun for give us a way "Pick Strictly what stats we want in our gear". So I hope in the future SE add a System like Trial magians, Settling to the actual Playerbase. Kill x10 Monsters for earn a mythic weapon No???, is the way Arr work.

Imo and I'm sure a lot of other peoples opinions, FFXI started to go downhill when Abyssea and ToTM was released. I really don't think this is the content we should be asking for from XI.

I'm of the opinion that the idea behind the Magians was right but the execution was flawed, severely.
TotM and the raise of the level cap did bring some new life to the game which had at that point become completely stagnant.
It gave people new goals to work towards and it did close a gap between the casual and more hardcore players without putting the hardcore players out of the picture completely. (Later changes to the game did that.)

However this game does not need this, because a similar system is already there.
The relic weapons work on the exact same principal, just not on a system as bloated as the magian trials were.

Progressive updates to gear is perfectly fine as long as the execution isn't painfully tedious.
E.g. I certainly don't mind things like "Go hunt X monster to get Rare/Ex material 1" (repeat 7x for different mats), and then craft it myself. Something like Primal HM series or EM series perhaps. Challenging but not tedious.

Like the Maat fight? good god no!...omg i still hate that old man to this day!...i had never cursed so much at a computer screen until i had to do that trial.

Red Mage? sure sounds like Red Mage.

I love the 'No' answers here when they failed to realize many quests in XIV ARR as of today are basically what ToTM did ^^

[File2ish]

ONLY IF we don't need to collect 1k+ rare drop items that we'd likely have to "wait in line" for to upgrade something.

I did enjoy getting my lvl 99 evasion thokcha for DNC and magic acc/mp shikargar for RDM (the kill X amount of enemies in Y weather or day), despite the fact it was a painful grind since weather was sometimes hard to come by (leveled my adventuring fellow at least lol). People invested so much time in aby trying to farm glavoid shells for their ukons and whatnot, or 1500+ heavy metal plates and 3000 riftdross or w/e from voidwatch NMs. Was insane.

Absolutely NOT.

Suggestion: something not based on another FF game for once

Dear god no. To quote the fresh prince of bel air....

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!

XI can do diaf. Wish people would just go play that instead if they love it so much

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

Can we go through with putting out ideas that are actually thoughtful and cool instead of exact rip offs from other games that you want just because you want to feel nostalgic? It adds nothing, but grind. The only people who put up with it were rabid FFXI lovers. You ate up everything XI even the stuff that made you look like a masochist. Great for you. This game already has enough of stolen MMO systems. It's time for them to take some risks now that it seems their game is doing better than anticipated.

That is something I want to see in the future. Risk.
