Battle Reform Blueprint

[Zenaku]

Sometimes I wonder if you think before you speak (or rather type). Somehow, I doubt they "made it that way" for the purpose of failing for the same good ones over and over again. What would be the point of making so many leves if you just try to save the same ones over and over again? Whats the purpose of doing leves in other cities then? What even have adventurer guilds in Grid and LL? Your short-sightedness in breathtaking.

Fantastic, you can level up twice as fast by doing the same leves over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Thats a fantastic recipe for a great game and again really makes the other cities have a lot of purpose behind them. Oh wait, 99% of every servers populace stays in ul Dah - never mind.

Oh wow, you lose gil? I never realized that! And items too?! Oh wait, its so easy to make money in the game and their is so much floating around that it means NOTHING to my tens of millions if I was to lose 20k here or there. Again, gimlet-eyed insight on your part!

Leveling faster? They worked out well for the game didn't? I mean, you can skip the 30s now and level through the 40s in a week if you go crazy. So, when all those people reached 50 - what did they do? Many quickly realized there was nothing to do in the game and buggered off. Great formula again for longevity in the game. Do the same handful of leves daily, level twice as fast and have nothing to do while making sure most of the populace stays in ul Dah cause thats where the bets leves are.

Brilliant analyses, Zen.

Look am not going to be a rude jack*** like you but SE been knowing this for months. We had a topic about this month ago did SE change it no? FFXIV is easy to make gil guess on what? Guildleves show me other way to make the same amount of gil that leves give you. If you want to do the leves over and over and over again to get max level then fine let them they wont get merks,gil,item for any of it.

This is my opinion there no need for you to be a rude person i do think before typing if we want to fail the leve we can. How else would you deal with it? i do my leves in LL i don't even go to Ul'dah only to get gear and so on. Leves are not the only reason players are in Ul'dah all day it also the main city for selling item if they had AH that can be used in all 3city and make all the leves the same type of level/exp it would fix the problem but still players would try and find the best one get them and fail you can never stop or fix that issue.

Players would alway find the best and fast way of getting something no matter what SE does.

So if you got a issue with my opinion there a nice block list on here you could use i never attack you and i never was rude to you.... Maybe if we had less rude players this game would be better and wont have the issue but i guess that wont happen would it.

So no am not talking up my A$$

You are - stop bankrupting yourself and run along with your nonsense.

I am still holding out that they change the leve problem. I'm sick of seeing everyone abandon the leves and re-doing them. Granted, it doesn't directly affect me, but it kinda doesn't feel heroic.

IMO, the leve should disappear from the journal when it is completed/failed/abandoned/etc. If the local leves operate as such, then there's no reason they can't get away with it for regional. Random D/C's are not common enough during a leve set run to really make this much of an issue.

I really like everything that was in the battle reform blueprint, no complaints at all.

Hopefully the jobs won’t be pigeonholed into using one specific weapon like the classes.

they are advanced forms of the classes soo.... they prib will be.

[Cairdeas]

No they are not. The blueprints specifically says they are NOT advanced classes, they are Role Specializations. IE Paladin is Tank, White Mage is Healer.

Rather than being advanced versions of classes, we would like players to think of jobs as specialized playing styles optimized for partying.

Yeah but as an extension I doubt they will be able to use anything other than the class that it branches from weapon. Unless they make specific gear for the new jobs as well. Who knows! Maybe they will use the class's equipment + new job specific junk.

Lets say Marauder becomes.

Dark-knight
Or
Warior

Both jobs can use the Great axes, but Dark knights can also use Scyths, and Wariors can use Great swords.

To be honest that would be dumb, especially if at that point Scyths and Great Swords were not implemented into the Armoury System as Weapon Classes which they should be.

Just two? what about the thrid one? xD

He said two types of dungeons, not two dungeons.

So positioning will positioning no longer matter in combat? Auto attack in a game with no editive layer for animations means that we will be stuck in place the whole battle.

Your concern with the animations is being addressed:

For the first stage, we will implement the core mechanics of auto-attack and perform provisional adjustments to the accompanying damage algorithm. The next stage, planned to take place after the aforementioned crowd control and action/skill revisions, will involve a fine-tuning of the auto-attack algorithm. Other algorithms will also undergo revisions, which will be explained further below. In so doing, we hope to further draw out the unique flavor of each weapon. At this same time, we will also carry out motion and other graphical revisions to accommodate auto-attack.
