Still patiently waiting for the Chocobo reset

[ruskie]

I'm happy with my choice of going with a split choco... what I would love to see are other companions I can level up for exclusive roles.

I think a one time reset option should be made available, as it was not well explained that you could only choose one tree. In fact, it was encouraged in all the official hype prior to release to pick and choose abilities from all three trees. I think a lot of people felt that mixing abilities was the right thing to do. I know I got stuck with a melee chocobo I didn't really want, because by the time this information was made public it was too late to change my mind. Since I already spent my first point on a melee ability, I was locked into a melee chocobo or give up the barding reward. Most of my friends weren't so lucky though and now are barred from their reward.

I'm not sure that allowing you to start over with a brand new chocobo at rank 1 via husbandry is the right solution. Most the people whom made the mistake of making a combination chocobo are already frustrated with gaining experience points for it. I think telling that crowd you must start over from scratch will just further anger and upset many and drive them away from this content forever.

Should implement it to where the more u need re-spec'ed the cost goes up exponentially. Would allow people that made the mistake of activating multiple trees not knowing the lmitations to repair their trees fairly painlessly, but if someone wanted to respec a full tree to another full tree would be painful. Pretty much solves the problem right there. Big problem was the beta companion where u had everything and the live letter where by using dev tools could swap around at-will; then not putting the information out on the actual limitations once the client went live.

I am sorry but this needs to happen. Some time soon too. It is getting beyond ridiculous how long a simple fix has gone without even the slightest hint.

Its not actually that simple, nothing is that simple on a MMO, a single code can screw up everything....

However the problem here is actually is the word priority

Just check what we got on 2.16 and will get on 2.2
More late game stuff...PS4 and Steam releases....Improve on Craft, Gathering and Market...Vanity Slots and Haircuts...Gear dying preview...new rewards (incluing one for rank 10 Chocobo)...etc etc

And now thinks about things confirmed for 2.3-on
Player's Housing...Gold Saucer...more Fantasia Potions....bring back some 1.0 items (like Chocobo Mask)....Bard rebalance...Chocobo Farm...new classes/jobs and new cap...

I dun think Chocobo's reset is a priority

Would like 1, but right now eh not such a big deal, what I would like is an easier way to level a chocobo, since being legacy and had everything 50 except arc and it was not explained that chocobos level faster/scale with your level so it is easier to level a chocobo with a class you are getting up to 50. Not a big deal, same with fantasia, it will happen but just is not a priority.

That is an excellent point. Perhaps, just like Fantasia, they should sell that recustomize option as well as the Chocobo reset ability on the store for real money. I know a lot of people who would gladly pay $5-10 for either of those.

Well if not a spec reset, at least make the Job Barding available for purchase. Be it gil, or Tomes, now that my Chocobo is Rank 10 I mainly want the JOB Bardings.

Why we don't have spec reset:

All people WILL reset until get all bardings them reset again to a more useful stat than only one tree.

Solution 1: Lose barding at any reset (hard way)
Solution 2: Make a way to dismiss a chocobo to get another one to get a hard leveling way again ( better than to create another char )
Solution 3 and most easy way: give the barding according to the highest tree( like posted early by ChaozK,

Bardindg is a reward for your effort not a right.

If I missing something then enlighten me please.

PS: Sorry about my English, I do not mean to be rude
PS2: I want to reset too.

I'm for the solution 2, if you want all barding AND mixed spec on your Chocobo, you have to do it the hard way :
- spec class 1 (melee), get barding,
- reset to lvl 0 (keep melee barding)
- level up again to 10 and get bard tank (for exemple),
- reset again to get heal,
- reset again to have "mixed optimal spec"...

Realy long and grind-intensive, but "doable".

I really don't think it would be THAT hard nor time consumming to implement in the current state of the game. Make the "reset" potion available for 10k-50k GC seals.

What we want is a way to AT LEAST respec a fail choice on chocobo, not "easy way to have all bard" (everything is already kind of easy to have, I don't even see why it couldn't be easy though ^^)

PS : My Chocobo is a lvl 4 (nearly 5) full tank spec, and right now I will keep tank to have the barde.
But really, the tank Chocobo is useless, even in "defend" mode, he won't use enough "inimity" attack.... With my ERU i can get Aggro easily and when i'm in black mage it's like having him on melee, I tank and heal, he do the dammage (kind of stupid IMO)

Coming as a housing feature later

Solution 1: Lose barding at any reset (hard way)

Can be possible. Like with the GC bardings, you would need a role at level 10 to use the barding, even if you already earned it (it would be greyed out if the specific role is not level 10)

Solution 2: Make a way to dismiss a chocobo to get another one to get a hard leveling way again ( better than to create another char )

already confirmed in an interview that we can also train our self-raised Chocobos coming with the Chocobo raising feature (need a house with a garden for it)
