Wishlist For 2.0 :) as it draws Near

[Onidemon]

Hello folks Amage here wanting to see what everyone wants from 2.0 and maybe a dev or even yoshida has some comments . Here goes


Things i wish for in 2.0
1. Linkshell Message
2. For the game to Activate my crossfire
3. Gear Swaps (I know some people hate this but i hate staying stuck in one spot for 3min because i switched a ring)
4. HNM's (epic dragons etc)
5. Sky/Sea Type content (no more Instance)
6. Be able to trade more then 4 items
7. Real Airships (Not a CS)
8. More weapon Variety (not to be locked to a job or class by your weapon)
9. Crafters Signature plates for armor (So crafters can be admired like on XI)
10. Skillchains (Make People have more fun with weapon skills)

This is a wishlist thread where maybe we can give ideas to dev team or maybe see if the comunity has the same feelings as i do for 2.0

Please keep it friendly

1. Linkshell Message - Will be in 2.0
2. For the game to Activate my crossfire - the new engine will support this... i hope
3. Gear Swaps (I know some people hate this but i hate staying stuck in one spot for 3min because i switched a ring) Will never happen, SE said no and that it will never change their mind. One of the reasons for this Is that your weapon controls your job and SE also plans to prevent you from changing jobs in some future dungeons/raids. Will never ever happen pple get over it and stop asking.
4. HNM's (epic dragons etc) Odin in 2.0 sounds like HNM. Don't think we will ever have HNM but we will have something smiliar
5. Sky/Sea Type content (no more Instance) Yoshi-P said he wanted this for a future expansion, after 2.0
6. Be able to trade more then 4 items - Maybe 2.0... new UI
7. Real Airships (Not a CS) - Will never happen thank god for the skippable CS. Pple who ask for 10 min airship rides dont play much. Now if they put airships that travel you between crystals and not just cities as an alternative then yes i am all for seeing you travel there for the whole time.
8. More weapon Variety (not to be locked to a job or class by your weapon) - Won't happen the whole class/job system depends on weapons. They would have to re-do the scratch system from scratch which means re-doing battle and a whole bunch of systems from scratch which wont happen.
9. Crafters Signature plates for armor (So crafters can be admired like on XI) - Coming in 2.0
10. Skillchains (Make People have more fun with weapon skills) - Not sure what you mean by that. Aren't combos already skill chains? You mean more combos?

You have some proof this wont happen? And why cant we have both? A skip one, and a travel one with + content.

You're completely wrong here, you've be blinded by the fact that weapon = class is set in stone, dont you remember the lovely Arcanist guy who popped up, what was he wearing? WEATHERED gear, with WEATHERED sword lol, you can make Any weapon data set look like anything else, that was a freaking staff too not a sword on your side.

If you have played with the weapon files you'd know anything is possible, hell you can duel weild as monk with swords if you swap the weapon and animation, so weapon variety can happen.

Not to mention, we already have classes using two types such as both mages being able to use Wand and Staff, and Gladiator can use Swords or Daggers.

Some people asked for it when Airships got introduced. Go check the rep replies.

Didn't know we had Arcanist as a playable class in the game. As for the other weapons im only quoting the dev team again. All she asked for had been mentioned in the past and was already answered by the community reps.

The reps said it was not possible in the current version, they did not say it would never be coming, i am pretty sure about this.

And we dont have Arcanist, that is the point, the person was Gladiator, dressed as Arcanist, even doing Arcanist skills, proving Weapon means jack all dandy.

Onidemon is just pissed that he'd have to buy more gear than wearing just AF his entire career. SE themselves said there were no current plans but are willing to introduce it if the game calls for it, which means if they create a system where gear swaping would be a worthwhile addition, they'll do it.

The ONLY thing they said flatout no to was haste spell.

Looking at XI, SE never made gear swapping a worthwhile addition. They never specifically added anything to help gear swapping in a 10 year period.

As a player that switches the gear needed before going into a fight, your stab/comment at another player wearing AF fulltime is irrelevant. XI and other MMO devs limit gear swapping while engaged/hate in general as its not a worthwhile mechanic.

Half of you "never going to happen" lines are your speculation and could easily be incorrect. I know yoshida said the cs airships are only until 2.0 when they will have real airships rides. Skill chains are weapon skill combos between two or three people. Jobs/classes being limited to one weapon type is just that, limiting, and could very well be changed if they plan to have multiple jobs from one class like they've said. An HNM is basically just a really strong, open world monster fight, anything similar to that is an HNM.

And if people stop asking for things they want, they'd have to depend on someone else to guess as to what they want. Voicing your opinion is how things change and telling them to stop is just wrong.

Can you point me where they said no? Also I believe the gear swamps we (we as me and the OP maybe) want is for all gear except main hand and off hand while staying mid-fight. With all the different gear we can get is something that i really want

Not sure how to find it. Someone made a thread about gear swap and the official answer from SE was that they had no plans gear swapping nor do they have any plans on changing that in the future. Which to means sounds like a polite way of saying it will never happen get over it.
