Materia + catalysts! Keep them Disciple of the Land only!

[Jynx]

Indeed I understand this. The question in the OP was "Please let Materia + Catalysts be gathering only" and I responded to that question. The simple answer was both will not be gathering exclusive.

Thankfully the community rep came in and cleared the issue up as to wether catalysts would be exclusivley gathered or not. I'm still curious as to how we will obtain catalysts, hopefully some new form of gathering because otherwise we are going to see a massive flood of raw materials into the market.

ok so i reread what i wrote

it wasnt meant to be Materia AND catalysts gathering only

but the materia system: catalysts(if that makes more sense)

i know the materia will be available elsewhere, i was mainly talking about catalysts

[twinkles]

I will just toss my two cents in. I really dig the materia system concept, and especially the fact that each of the class types play an active part in the creation of materia. As a crafter and a battle class I have no problems with various components of the overall process being specific to say DOL vs DOW/DOW vs DOH.

I do enjoy reading all the points of view on what parts to keep specific to what types of classes, but it seems almost trivial since WE can all be these types of classes. ...Okay so DOH might have a leg up if the system isn't changed. I really don't see the problem since anyone and i mean anyone can be a crafter. Just like anyone can go buy an axe/pickaxe /fishing rod and be a gatherer.

Yes for this. Gatherers can be even more useful. .)

I'm thinking since it's been said elsewhere that there will be restrictions on what materia can be used in what weapons (possibly based on rank or stats) that Catalysts might be no different. There may be catalysts used for specific rank ranges (1-10, 11-20, etc...). This would make sense as where do you draw the line to start obtaining them otherwise? If it's just a single item that's the same for all, would you make it an Rank 5 node specific item? What about newer gatherers? They can't participate in the market otherwise.

now you want to force everyone to play DoL?

I didn't pay the monthly fee (in future) for playing a high definition Harvest Moon


Do people on this forum even know what fun IS?

[Felis]

You don't need to play a DoL class, it's your free choice.
You can buy the catalyst, too

You're responding to Evangela...lol. It's well known you won't be forced into anything but he seems to believe otherwise.

promoting more painful gameplay = a good way to lower your customer base

just an automatic common sense

anyways, one thing i pointed out in peregrines materia system whinefest thatl go here


yes itl be gathering only

no you dont have to gather to get them

BUT

you will pay for the convenience to not have to gather


in the end thats all MMO economies really are, you pay for the convenience of not having to do something yourself


and guess what, gatherers cant make stuff on their own either! they will need a crafter to inlay them(and i bet eva doesnt like that either)

and somehow i bet combat classes will be the main ones "making" the materia.

so it comes full circle, everyone is involved
