Battle Reform Blueprint

[Nuru]

personal strategy is lowered because with stamina, each choice you made mattered, you could choose to be defensive, you could choose to be mobile, you could choose to be offensive, your playstyle and what you were doing was the dynamic results of what you actually chose to do with your pool of stamina.
without stamina, what reason would you have for not provoking? what reason would you have for not having every buff up possible as soon as its available? What is invigorates cost to you now? before you were giving up some attacks for tp over time, now, its just tp over time.

choosing when not to attack and when to burst was itself a huge strategy element, its now gone.

people WERE spamming attack most of the time, they never got a chance to shine, same thing for the enemies people fought, thats because they made it so that you were best off fighting easy crap, because i guess they thought thats what people wanted.

Alright, but dude, really, how do you know that personal strategy will be more limited in the new battle system, if it hasn't been implemented yet? That's the main point i am trying to get across. If you know how the battle system is going to work, please share with the rest of us.

If not, then you can't say for sure that the new battle system is going to limit anything. In fact, it "may" influence more personal strategy and open more opportunities. Point Allotment is an important concept of the battle system, and you are allowed to allot your points to whichever stat you like on any class. Cant say that there isn't any personal strategy in that.

Choosing when to attack and to not attack did have its strategy, but again, who else is going to notice that when they are spamming attacks and taking the hate off of you anyways? If the hate isn't on you, what good is "not attacking" the mob? besides wasting time. It was a strategy, but if you wanted to get through a battle alive, you'd be thinking more about what ability you needed to use next, and not when you were going to stop attacking.

I know there are some mobs like the crabs that hide into their shells for defense. Auto Attack wont really hurt it, but you still have to time your weapon skills if you want to do maximum damage.

Not crazy about the auto-attack... that's what made me fall asleep in XI lol Oh well. I'm still excited for all the new changes in the future!

We're working on getting the juicy details for you guys translated and posted. As you can see, it's a lot of content, so please hang tight while we work on it!

I hope you don't forget the raid dungeon post made by Mocchi, that one sounds important as well!

Apparently it was something saying that the dungeon experience wouldnt be the same every time (multiple ways to complete it).

こんにちは。

昨日に続き、レイドダンジョンの情報をください！！と吉田Pにオートアタックしてみたところ、じゃあちょっとだけね。と前置きをしつつ、「マップは固定で自動生 成ではない。」と言うことと「攻略ルートは1本ではない。」とのコメントをもらうことができました。

いずれにしても一日で状況が大きく変化することはありませんので、より細かい情報をお伝えするためにもう少しだけ時間をください。わくわくしながら待っていただ けるように私たちも頑張ります。

Reading that giant list that Mocchi posted, the best thing I've read so far is that they're removing the action gauge (stamina bar).

Probably wouldnt work that great with the auto attack, and since its a brand new battle system, its probably best that they start from scratch instead of adapting old functions.

I'm assuming they'll have to adjust all enemy behaviors/difficulty as well, so it seems like a big undertaking when you think about it...kind of a remake of how the entire game works.

Yep from what I read it's basically all for the good of the new system.

Good! I'm glad they're getting rid of the stamina bar. While it's another thing to help with Strategy, it also seems a bit pointless to have both recast timers and a stamina bar
