Will there be progression in 2.0?

That's 50/50. O.o how is that skewed.[/QUOTE]

Because i believe there should be an even distribution.

EG: 20 Crafted / 20 Questing / 20 Dungeon Chest / 20 Primal Fight / 20 Other

My opinion on it as I enjoying focusing on as many aspects of the game as possible, as opposed to spending vast time in town.

I don't use any primal gear because I'm a Garuda loser. XD

But I have good gear because I'm good at everything else. Your idea doesn't give primal losers like me any recourse but to have sucky gear. No one should have to do ALL the content to have gear. Your way forces YOUR progression desires on other players. Yoshi's way of progression allows us to CHOOSE what content we WANT to do.

Theres a balance of slots for sure, but to get the BEST gear in the game, you are forced to go crafted most of the way.

Crafters are and will continue to be needed. That's how it should be. Get over it.

Hirr you should pretty much stop responding to him. He is counting Rings and shit into 1 class gear set <.<.

Thats your opinion and i'm entitled to mine just the same. No need for petty slamming.

Get over it is a pretty weak argument. And it still doesn't address the fact that there's no sense of progression in the game. Which you can have with crafters, like I previously mentioned, by having bosses drop rare mats. The argument here is that the best gear in the game is available through easily harvested and crafted mats. You don't NEED to do lighter content to be able to do more difficult content. That's a problem.

Exactly. But its a problem for some reason that myopic people tend to ignore.

Yoshi has addressed your concerns with this, too. I'll see if I can find the quote, but he's changing the stats ratio so 3-5x melded gear won't be nearly as game breaking in the new system.

So your allocated stats will have more weight and non melded gear isn't worthless.

Found it.

Snurble here in your thread~!

I wanted to give you some details on what's being planned for stats in A Realm Reborn.

In regards to battle-related stats, it is currently possible to receive large boosts from stats on equipment, while character stats do not have as much of an effect. For example, equipping items with multiple materia melded to it will allow players to become quite powerful. In A Realm Reborn, we are planning to make adjustments so that the ratio of influence from character stats and from gear stats is 1:1. With this, having 5 materia melded onto a single item won’t elicit as large of a difference like it does currently.

Similarly in the current version, even when players add large amounts of INT and STR via equipment with multiple materia and such, it may feel like damage is not increasing and this is due to a damage range that has been set. Fundamentally, battle related stats fluctuate based on the level difference between enemies, and this is also why we are not planning to display evasion rates and other things.

For crafting, the stats in A Realm Reborn will have a greater influence than now, and for gathering, the requirements to obtain HQ items will be visible!

This is good news for me personally. Thank you.
