Battle Reform: Enmity (07/06/2011)

[Anty]

It'll allow you to ride the line as close as possible, so you can go all out as a DPS character and execute your various -enmity skills when they will do the most good.

that's the point. There is no challenge if you just watch the bar... the game is not going into a casual direction it's going into a "every retard can play it" direction. It already is one of the easiest mmos out there. Can it become even easier?
It seems it can....

I just skipped to the bottom, noticed there was nothing about the patch date, then stopped caring.

^This ladies and gentlemen is why SE doesn't release information all the time because people will stop wanting to know what's IN the patch to WHEN the patch is going to be released.

As for the enmity meter, I feel most people will adjust like they did when the Devs implemented the AggroIcon.

I'd really like to know if it's possible for mobs to be targeting different players with different attacks.

For example, a Dragon type that has a tail attack and a bite attack, can target a player in front and in rear simultaneously.

Or if there's a hydra of sorts that each head can mark an individual target. I feel mobs like this could offer a lot of variety in the combat system for special fights.

[Raze]

I'm all in favor of the icon! When mobs are attacking me I get flustered and need to be reminded they are attacking me.

[yukikaze_yanagi]

Bah. Any mmorpg with thread indicator didn't make tanking easier. I don't see the point.
If you are a sucky tank, you suck even with indicator.If you're a sucky dd or mage, you'll still suck.Maybe spammers would have an easier life:
>"The OMFGNM uses Sonorus Blast"
>"FFFFFFF..."

[Holy_Dragoon]

Spells like Sonorous Blast are still going to affect parties. They were designed to create a frantic situation in a battle. This is exactly what it does. =)

I hate to hate, kind of.

But a blinking red light seriously? lol That would be so annoying and distracting I think. Its like when light comes up on your car dashboard, or your dvd player is broken and time keeps flashing and you're trying to watch tv and its just impossible to do that!

hahah see how it is whenever this patch comes.

Wont be so much bad on fluxating hate or short battles, but like 10-15 min NM and tank holds hate, gunna be BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK

[Zanfire]

seems like a bunch of people dont want this...sucks they are going to do it anyways...bleh.

It might be unnecessary like aggro icon, but it doesn't harm anyone by implementing it, maybe it might hurt ego of those people that have illusion that they are so good at a game by their ability to guess their hate level in a fight.

Enmity icon? I'm not playing anymore, but i guess it's time for me to cancel my subscription definitely.

Yeah right. They are just removing every little sense of uncertainty or surprise this game had. I played FFXI for years and i have never seen anyone boast about how well they can predict enmity levels. Simply because you could never be 100% certain what they were.
