Battle Reform Blueprint

[Onidemon]

my biggest concern is.... Have they even started work on all that? Is it almost finished? Will we see it in patch 1.18? or 1.18a or even 1.19? ... Or have they spent all these months coming up with that plan and the work is only starting now? It does say blueprint as in not even started yet.....

I'm not being negative here... these changes are awsome and meet all my expectations but don't tell me i'll only see them in 2012...

alot of the battle changes are supposed to coincide with the new dungeon
thats what we were originaly told

we know they are working on them and maybe this is why the big patch is next month instead of this month

I just read it myself, I like the fact they plan to let us lone wolves continue to solo, and that they are designing a system that'll let us retain a preset action bar, but I still have one major concern:

Auto Attack. I was hoping that it would be elaborated on how it would affect Archer, Musketeer, or any other planned ranged combat class. Would ranged attacks remain manual, be fully automatic, or have the option to toggle? Would it be a system like in FFXI, where you would have an AA for melee, with a manual ranged attack? As far as I could tell, this issue has not been addressed, and since it can make or break the class, it should have been.

They really said a whole lot of nothing about auto attack, other than, it will be there and it will take multiple patches.

what??? ahha what did i say i post this 100 times class would be the base then you unlock jobs if you like to solo and hybrid you have to use the class system if you want to party and dungeon you most use the job system or something around there

So like i said they pick this system

Pug unlock Monk at 30 you can now become a monk and get AF gear.

So everyone who told me that not how they going to do it i can say this to you "Told you so"

Actually It is more specialised versions of what we got with class spesific skills. And Used more for high end content. Where as the current class systen can be for soloing and casual (aka non end game) stuff. But honestly if players start requiring "jobs" in leveling parties it just gonna kill ffxiv for alot of ppl. I can just see it now. PPl require the new "jobs" and soon we will have "jobs" of the mnth again and long wait for grouping. Even for leves.... If that happens WoW would look pretty good

I like the changes as long as it makes the game more fun, and populate the game a bit. Just guys lets not try to be Elitist jerks in this game also Lets not have silly rules on petty requirements are do the loljob stuff. Lets make the game and our communities as fun as we can make them.
One pet peeve from ffxi was the silly rules like smn being a healer, or the loldrg or lolpup days.

@ gift the reason for auto attack is to ease the players due to the new changes of the jobs and class systems. Also the changes to hate and CC. having to manually attack (as much as i want them to keep it) will be too hard to do with the changes. We will have to much to do by the sound of it.

Wow dude... your post count is getting close to over 9000. Sooo you actually have a problem with them finally giving the game what it needed at start? They made that decision for a reason, because it will make them money when the time comes.

everything sounds good, can't wait for the upcoming patches ^^.

Didn't go into much detail, but it's a good read. I'm glad to know how the class/job system is going to work finally. Now I'm just curious if the battle system is going to feel different in terms of playstyle.
