New NMs and Class Specific Gear

[Nahaara]

No point discussing this again, SE have made there mind up, restrictions are on the way, deal with it.

Now I can go into Ul'dah and laugh at all the level 10 noobs running around in there underwear as they blew all there gil on rank 50 armor and can no longer wear it

I think what SE said is that they're gonna be adding gear with restrictions, not editing existing gear to give them restrictions.

I think what SE said is that they're gonna be adding gear with restrictions, not editing existing gear to give them restrictions.

There's not much point in only doing that is there? That means that rank 50 gear is still wearable, whereas the rank 30 gear you just picked has a requirement of that rank. Still leaves players open to wear gear that probably has way better stats.

Clearly Yoshida agrees that there needs to be requirements on gear so the debate is pretty much done with in general, but while this is a role playing game, it's also about striving for goals, and I'm not going to artificially handicap myself from gear.

Well I more or less just wanted to understand the reasoning behind it. And I already got that from others. But I'm going to play a little devil's advocate for funsies, and also because my experience seems different from yours.

I used Ash Macuahuitl until rank 29 glad when I picked up Iron Dagger. Now why did I do this when there were much stronger weapons available and for cheap too? Cause my attack penalty was as high as -14 attack for iron dagger at rank 25, and it was still -4 attack at rank 28. To me that's not artificially handicapping myself. Is that enough of a penalty? Well it was for me, but I suppose others don't really look at the numbers that closely. I always thought it'd just be better to increase the penalty.

As far as striving for goals, yeah I understand some people need the requirements to feel like they are working towards a goal, I get it. I just never felt that way. Maybe I'm just the odd-man out on this. I still feel like rank requirements as goals are probably more artificial than creating goals for yourself. You've just got someone making the decision for you in that case. And I suppose that's fine if that's what's needed. And I realize I'm in the minority here. I just would've liked to see an alternate solution to this.

I really like they added minor NMs.
Only one little complain.. some of these seems not to have changed colors or real differences, in their skin, from the normal ones. :P

[GabbaGabba]

i can't wait for that feeling of running around somewhere, maybe to do a guildleve, and all of a sudden i run across one of these new NMs, then claiming it, fighting it, and killing it. no greater satisfaction....that is unless i get the drop of course heh

[Alcide]

Wow I hope those NM are gonna drop the materials and not the finished items *-* can't wait to craft those things.

By the way, there are tons of awesome staves and shields in game that can be seen only on NPC, can't we have them instead of those two? >.> they're aweful
