[Dev1072] Abolition of Physical levels.

[Teknoman]

I'm actually torn over this, on the one hand it'd be cool to totally control it (ditch HP and become the ultimate black mage glass cannon!!!), but it might be better for them to guide people at least a bit.

That, or they could have an option to auto-assign points on level up. Might be a bit too clever for them though.

Thats actually in the letter.

Shift to automated character development based on class rank, with optional attribute point allotment

And so it begins. Goodbye character control, hello to increasingly dumbed-down gameplay slope (careful, it's slippery).

This. So much.
The beauty is being able to control your stats is to make your own character.
If anything, noobs should be taught what each stat means, so as to make their own decision.

"Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey hey Goodbye" Goodbye Physical Level!

[DeadlySwordz]

Well now that I looked at it again, there really is no way to see it besides it being confirmed that physical levels will be gone. "Abolish physical levels and experience points and shift character development to class rank" is under Current tasks and will be implemented along with the physical bonus revision. So it seems they will be gone for sure.

it's not going to bother me much at all if it will be taken out. i really didn't see the point in a ranklvl and a pyshical lvl. and Hito, i think i remember you from beta!! We used to talk in a chat with a few others Murdock and Cruxis i think? i don't remember the rest. unless i'm thinking of someone else, lol

I think having a generalized set of stats as a foundation is a good thing. You're still free to adjust your stats, saying it's dumbed down is silly as eventually everyone will modify their own stats. No reason to make it absolutely necessary for beginners to master right off the bat, especially if combat becomes more challenging.

Hi Dreamer,

As Yoshida-san said, and the majority voted for, there will still be "with optional attribute point allotment."

So it's only partial movement of Attribute Points with some customization.

This is a good thing.

The current system is horrible. Being able to Reassign 200+ Points has ruined any meaningful Stat Bonuses on our Weapons and Armor. You can move HUNDREDS of points around right now, do you think the +5 STR Ring is really going to make a difference? (it doesn't)

The current system has marginalized all equipment bonuses, and wastes players' precious time. Does anyone enjoy hitting "Reassign Points" waiting 2 - 3 hours, "Reassign Points" waiting 2 - 3 more hours, "Reassign Points" again, to finally reclaim enough points to shift from a Rank 50 Gladiator to Rank 50 Conjurer?

Or wait, sorry, you want to grind Alchemist for a bit, oops, you need to max your INT for your Main Hand Tool, OK, back to Reassign Points... 1 day later (after Reassigning forever), click "+" button hundreds of times to reassign whatever you need to, etc.

Good riddance.

They are going to have less attribute points that you can assign by ranking up, and increase the attribute points on all exsisting gear, so that R45 chest piece you have will have maybe 15 dex instead of 6.

That about sums up my experience. Grind Archer, re-allocate points, grind Conjurer, re-allocate points, grind Weaver. Get's kind of old.

I cant wait for them to be gone.
