[dev1244] Accessory Reform, discussion

[Dinh]

I find it strange that they have have a system in place to differentiate between the graphical representation of what ring you have equipped in which slot (same with earrings and bracelets) and they are trashing it because they are too worried about balance issues.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the improvement to the game as I am finding that slot costs is unnecessarily aggravating. But to just duplicate the same mesh over the other fingers/ears/wrists when they could instead better balance the stats on the rings and remove the slot cost altogether without removing any equip slots seems like the most logical thing to do to keep players happy.

Still, this seems pretty insignificant and I personally feel they should be working on something more important and implement this change later on when the game is more.... fixed.

They did it in FFXI, they are doing it now, the new materia system is doing the same, heck even the emnity earring is a reference back to FFXI. It's not so hard to follow SE's trends.

This game is not FFXI.
They are changing what is being done now into something different. Same faulty argument.
The materia system is something else, and offers much more variety and customization than the current accessory system.
They showed an enmity ring, not an enmity earring.

You're just grasping for straws at this point. It's one thing to be worried. It's a whole 'nother thing to blindly presume you know exactly what they're going to do, and then complain about it.

Should you turn out to be right, nobody's gonna care they'll just complain then if it sucks. If you turn out to be wrong though, please oblige us with that reaction headshot

You're right it was not an earring, it was a bracelet! Guess you were wrong too

[Momita]

Yes I want 4 rings for my PLD, 4 rings for my MNK, 4 rings for my WHM, 4 rings for my BRD, 4 rings for my WAR, 4 rings for my DRG.... oh yes.. 4 rings for my BLM...

/sarcasm off

Welcome 5 slots! (and welcome new stats accessories :Q___ )

All I want to know is whether or not we will be able to socket materia onto our accessories or not.

I would prefer that the accessory slots NOT be consolidated.
I like customization and do not care about inventory space.

*Notice: Just chiming in my two cents so that it is heard. I am not trying to argue with anyone and I have not fully read the thread.

i am going to go off on a limb and say im 99% sure the answer to that is no

lol... that 's not the point. The point is it's not some reference to XI's enmity earring...

There have been discussions within the development team about whether or not there should be a /display on/off feature for accessories; however, it would require a lot of work to implement and as there are other things that need to be prioritized first, they decided to put this on hold for now.

If there continue to be requests for this in the future, we'll let the dev. team know and they can look into it again.

wonder if we can add materia on jewel as well ._.

There are no plans currently to make it possible to add materia to accessories.

I don't see a difference between a /display on off for a helm, main hand or an accessory. Just use the same code.

I know you're only the messenger, but sometimes the reasons why something can not be implemented sound a bit ridiculous ;x
I don't know if the devs are willing to release some more (technical/coding) details about why it's too much work, but that'd surely help.

Knew it. Thank you for the confirmation.
