[ Dev's ] Gear Swaps Can I have It?

[Amage]

Well it seems this Topic hurts ppl right where it hurts . As it turns out if FFXI would have not had gear swaps as one of its elements of its game it would have lasted 1/4 time it did . People would have done kings for the duration of the expansion and move on never really having the best gear at all only best at the time

Yes this game change gear system is slow and at this point in time gear swaps aren't needed but if this is going to be a game were i can beat every content release in 2 weeks and gear is gotten and dropped with every update then this for sure isnt where im going to spend my money for SE to waste my time i play .

Take a look at retainer system vs. Auction house , retainers are a great idea and everything but hurts the economy with showing the prices of items which are sold so now everyone can undercut everyone else buy 1000s -1000000s of gil just to make quick sales . also the fact wards right now are full and for those whos retainers arent logged into wards cant get them on because its full is BS now instead of camping Tiamat or Fafnir im camping to get a mule in correct wards or any ward for that matter.sorry about this rant but yeah

gear swaps would make game best in my eyes

lul /ragequit gogogo!

no no no rage quit . in order to rage quit there would have to be an element of ridiculous stupidity in this game and to be honest this game is on retarded easy mode .. and i cheer for you troll of these forums .

To put this to bed. If this game survives DO YOU REALLY THINK that the Endgame shells from 11 wont be holding and keeping HNM or NM and selling its mats for gear either way , Gear swapping or no gear swapping its the truth

You mean like how all the games that don't have gear swaps lasted just fine? Everquest is still around, you know.

ok ok here something you should have learned in FFXI so it seems u joined after abyssea you can make cure macro's to a player

/ma "Cure IV" <p1> and so on and in alliance <a1> <a2> etc etc ... so blinking wouldnt effect in any way because the code would find player either blinking or not hehhehehehe nice try go back get brady games handbook LMAO

It's funny, for someone whose name is "a mage" you've obviously never played a mage job. Nobody is going to make 6-18x the number of macros just to handle people blinking. That's the stupidest suggestion I have ever heard (and believe me, as a judge at the Northwest Annual Stupid Suggestion Contest from 2008 to 2010 (and soon at the 2011 meet in July), I've heard some pretty stupid suggestions).

As much as I loved SpellCast (which I of course never used because that's a third-party plugin) and having intricate macros setting optimal gear for every spell, every ability, every situation... That is one part of FFXI that I hope FFXIV never emulates.

Switching weapons in combat I accept and am all for. Biggest reason I dislike the Armory system: you can't switch to a knife without becoming an entirely different person.

Changing your pants several times throughout a fight is ridiculous.

I just want to add to this:

If my character is somehow fast enough and dexterous enough to change clothes in under a second all while warding off attacks from hostile foes, casting spells, and running, then why on earth is his attack speed so slow?

Even Bruce Lee couldn't change his pants twice a second so, until S-E makes my level 1 thaumaturge faster than the greatest martial artist of all time, keep your gear swaps where they belong: not here.
