o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[Kailea_Nagisa]

the main flaw in many people reasoning with this being a bad idea, is that this update is it...... period......


but it is not, this is step one (how the battle system was done) in a multi step process to fix crafting.


why do you think we are still not paying? this game is going to be flipped over a few times, and inside out some as well before it is released for PS3, consider us all in beta again, untill the PS3/payment starts.

I can Imagen some people are, just as some have assumed the Materia system will be complex or really simple.
I try'd personally to stay focused purely on what we do know, and what will be lost/gained.
And I still after reading all the comments feel that the update is 80% good 20% a lost potential for the game.

Edit : And yes i agree its beta again,
If i thought this would fall on totally def ears id just play till they broke it.
Or till they star charge (unless I'm still happy enough with it then id keep playing obviously)

I'm going to keep trying to make them make a great game with depth and enough challenge, not to turn it into just another generic mmo.

I actually thinks this particular announcement is only half bad. I keep getting sucked into arguments about Parts which I'm glad to see go. But it will have a very severe impact on leveling. I think the Dye thing is a great change and the material revisions are a long needed adjustment. But gutting basic systems without telling us how they a being replaced only leads to them forcing terrible things down our throats. If they don't tell us what they intend to do with facilities and treatises I think we can safely kiss them good bye. And the secondary skill removal was just asinine, it only needed balancing.

Can you point us to where they actually said crafting was going to be done in steps because I seem to have missed that producer letter. Seriously, maybe I missed it.

So true Kailea. And personally, if they had of gone through all the FFXIAH.com post being made when it was announced they were "doing" another MMO, (had actually been in development for YEARS prior) They could possibly avoided all this mess. They had a solid system that just needed to be tweaked and refined and of course better graphics. they got the graphics ,,,LOL but looks like their idea to redifine the MMORPG genre went very awry. Now, they're doing what they should have, listening to the players themselves but now, some are so hapy with the original and dislike the change and others like the change and want more. This coupled with a lack of community = RAGE! /shrugs

i think the problem is not that there proposing to change it, cos although i don't agree with this dramatic change, i do agree atm it's not working as intended and things need to change.

there are other thing they can do like:

Make food stack higher (and show ppl the benifits of food so it actually sells).

Allow ppl to sell more things at once, i have lot armour peices i can't sell due to lack of space this will make more parts avalible for ppl that don't want to make them.

have a Wanted search counter may help with ppl putting out offers rather then ppl paying the prices ppl are currenty asking for.

and it a few basic things like that, if that don't work change it least then they can say they tried to save it
