Gear swapping in middle of battle was completely stupid and I hated that in FFXI. It made no sense, here let me take off my shirt and put on another one while fighting this monster so it can help me boost my stats alittle to help me kill you. Just doesn't make sense, I don't mind carrying multiple gearsets around and switching out when need be but switching in the middle of battle was dumb. I kudos this post with all the things they are bringing to the table, some stuff is also getting removed that I liked but nothing game breaking and it doesn't hurt the game immersion at all.


I think I understand a reason why they cant add gear swap option and it mainly comes down to the data sent back and forth to comfirm those actions.
Its not that they cant add the option its because they dont have it going outta hand down on there end with the data comfirms.



Personal opinion. There's no "one gear to rule them all" in MMOs and XI was one of the few that actually allowed you to micromanage gear for certain situations. In other MMOs, it all came down to if you had the latest raid armor set which is why most MMOs tend to have horrible economies, especially if they have a crafting aspect.


I understand what it did, but it's an aweful concept. The fact that it was in the game at all pointed more to poor choices for stats on gear than anything else. I'm glad the devs have confirmed they are not going to allow gear swap mid-battle in this game.Personal opinion.

I'm not really a fan of gear swapping, but how did you all do it? Cause i used macros... and last i checked FFXIV has macros.. they are slow as hell, but they work..



Macros was the only way I did lol.
