Battle Reform Blueprint

[Demacia]

Actions will undergo major revisions, along with both the underlying mechanics and conditions.

By major revisions, not only do we mean the tweaking of effects and potency of existing actions - we will work from the ground up to redesign and reassign actions based on clearly identified class roles.

Fuck yes. This is what I wanted the most.

Solo Play

Solo play is the preferred choice of those short on time, and we intend to preserve the balance wherein adventurers can take on foes of the same rank unaided. Even as we work to further accentuate the uniqueness of each class, we will make it so that all classes are capable of ranking up via solo play.

exactly, right now, i can take on mobs 10 levels higher than me solo. But in the new world, people will be looking to fight stuff thier level, soooo yeah we re going to be weaker if thats the case. i hope they buff exp then, because fighting mobs your level is like what, 60-80 skill points? We ll see how that turns out

Character Development

* Battle Attribute Allotment

When it comes to battle, class rank should, by logic, be more important than physical level. The reality of the situation, however, is that attribute point allotment is dependent upon physical level, something that is causing complications in our endeavor to improve the battle system.

In the recent battle poll (thanks to all who participated), we learned that a considerable number of players would be willing to forgo physical levels, but wanted to retain the ability to customize characters through attribute allotment. Armed with this knowledge, we proceeded to formulate the optimal solution.

The decision: attribute point allotment will no longer accompany gains in physical level, and will instead occur when characters rise in class rank. Although the amount in frequency of points awarded will be lower than previously, players will find that each point will have a more profound effect.

; ; I love you! This made my night!

I dunno, this seems like XIV + XI as it doesn't look like they're getting rid of the original class system.

And I'm all for it.

It'll be a good opportunity to get all your battle classes to R30 in preparation for unlocking the new jobs. ^_^

I'm really happy with this announcement for the players. I like his tone and the way he talks to us. Friendly, understanding and full of passion. (/cheer)
And I'm especially glad that he made it clear that the game is as dear to them as it is to us.

The last sentence sounded somewhat like Anna from V:
"We are of peace. Always." (^-^)

Anyways. Super happy and excited and once again reassured on my notion that this game is going to be very great.

Love y'all, Square Enix.
