Please DON'T remove the Armoury system

[Lienn]

I logged in the other day to check out 1.20 and promptly logged out. Thanks for destroying my favorite part of the game, I guess my fears came true after all. What a shame, this is such a beautiful game but the new direction has broken my heart. I was really looking forwards to the class changes, I thought it would improve on what we had and instead I found my conjurer stripped bare and restricted.

So long FF I'll check with you again next year, but in my humble opinion what you've done to the classes is a throw back to what is safe and a waste of what the game could have been.

Well, IMO we should start asking the original FFXIV to make a return as spin-off game. This would give Yoshida freedom to get rid of every single renmant from the original game, including not only the armoury system but also the classes themselves, and give those who liked the original FFXIV and didn't like the current changes a place to go.

I'm not asking to change back this FF to other one...i mean a spin-off game...a different game so they both would stay, with each MMO following its own path. The original FFXIV is already "ready" to resume a beta test anyway...it would be awesome having not only the 2.0 but also the original FFXIV being relaunched at same time next year! ^^

The more people support this idea the better the chances of this happening! ^^ IMO it would be a win-win deal since the target population is different so, those who support the current FFXIV (2.0) would be able to stay here and have fun while those who prefered the original FFXIV could just move to it and have fun. ^^

...and SE would have another MMO that would eventually start receiving subscription. =P Everyone would end happy! ^^

If the game was perfect or even extremely inviting than, than s.e wouldn't have sunk a good million in salary, on techs, equipment etc. They are going iin the right direction imo

My MRD is no longer a hurricane in armor, I am disappoint.

I think my favorite bit in this thread was when someone said they dislike the movement of going from open world dungeons to instances, and then they cited Shposhae as an example of a working (yet dated) idea.

If anyone really thinks a level 15 public area is an example of content that can be extended into today's mmo market, I pity you.

Note: I was in Shposhae last night killing NMs for the achievement. I was the only person in the entire zone. Lolz

I agree with the OP, couldn't word it any better!

With the way things are now, I don't even feel like the Armoury system exists, it is pretty much less customization than XI's job/subjob system lol.

I would like the old system back, a lot of these skill changes or additions could of been added to Jobs.

Yup I agree. Do what you can and use Customer SUPPORT like I have always done for the pass 8-9 years.

Armoury system is the biggest failure option of this game imo.
it kills role play simply.
nobody can become Swordsman , Puglist , Mages.
Yes you can "play" it , but you can't "become" it.
(if someone has 50 GRA and ARC , and he says "I'm swordsman" , but how do you call him as swordsman while he can change it in 5 seconds?
he is actually just picking swords skill currently.
the truth of Armoury system is nobody can belong any classes since they can play everything..
only choosing 1 skill thats what we do, not being some profession.)
this is massively multiplayer online role-playing game buddy.
even i'm not hardcore role player , but..just sad to see zero role playing atmosphere in this game..
so i say Yes to no-armory system
and No to the armory system..

You fail! (like this if you don't know WTF this quote means).

This text is an abomination and should be deleted before it makes people dumber than the dumbest person to ever play this MMO. You have no argument and completely make no sense! You can't back up your statements and define your opinions so it's plainly bias. Get back on you level 2 class, get on the fail boat and go back to fails-ville.

I'd rather they do away with it.

We can all do away with you and be happy. You fail too, go to "fails-ville" and merry christmas =P

[Zemeckis]

I agree we should do away with it and just have single classes

Be clear, what you refer to with "single classes"? Is it better than armory, better than jobs, what? o.o;;

Your a game, designer, please give more exposition!

What I can't stand about the current job system is your required to level other classes to get basic abilities. For example I am leveling Gladiator I no longer have a taunt because they moved provoke to another job. I am suppose to level that when I mainly playing Gladiator just to have a taunt? If you ask me this is pretty broken and annoying. A job which you are leveling should be able to stand on its own without having to level a bunch of other jobs which I really didn't have much interest in playing.

I agree. I support having multiples classes learning similar actions, just like WHM, BLM and RDM share the same spells, so you could pick which one to use based on what class you have leveled and based on affinity traits. But this no longer matters here since classes no longer share actions or spells and affinity traits no longer exist.

You do realize that Flash is, at the level you acquire it, more or less the exact same thing as Provoke right? And that they're both learned at level 14 on the respective classes?
