Thread: Glaring issues that were NOT addressed in 2.1

Nothing makes me care less than min/maxing, which seems to be what the endgame stats work towards.

I think on some level the devs are against obvious caps and such because it does create several glass ceilings gear wise while forcing the devs to balance around those glass ceilings. Granted, I LOVE the glass ceilings because it gives me exact values to aim for and removes a lot of the guesswork that I've grown to hate in MMO gearing.

At the same time, WoW eventually had to start removing stats as a whole because of this. First it was unifying healing spellpower and spell damage spellpower, then was the removal of defense rating as a stat. Now they're removing hit rating (imagine if the FFXIV devs decided to remove accuracy from gear) because it is not "interesting". My guess is they don't want to follow WoW's footsteps in that regard.

Be sure you're all also putting this stuff in game. System > Support Desk > Contact Us > Leave a suggestion. Might as well try that avenue; it might be harder to avoid compared to forums.

welcome to yoshi trolling with everyone, i feel sorry for all those people that believe in yosh.i what he had created is a terrible game then it used to be...

If you're shocked with this answer about keeping stats hidden, you probably haven't seen what Yoshida said about endgame content and normal latency.

Oooo crit goes up as we get more crit! So a higher number is better?

I thought my level 10 gear gave me insane damage but i was wrong : D thanks SE!

P.S seeing the numbers on my HP bar is too confusing, please give us green - orange - red HP bars, i cba doing the math when i get a 5 vit boost.

In regards to showing the chance for critical hits, the team remarked that there are currently no plans to display this in the UI. Players can assume simply that as the stats that affect this grow larger, the effect will become greater.

The team is currently looking into an option to "skip all" cutscenes. The team has also been looking into a better incorporation of Chocobo Companions including allowing you to register for Duty Finder while having your companion out, as well as riding your companion while he's called. While the timing for these hasn't been decided we'll keep you aware when we hear more.

I don't care about the crit stuff, doesn't matter to me, and your explanation is pretty much what I go by anyway.

However, that Companion info, about darn time. I hope this makes it into the next update, because it should seriously have been that way at launch. Seriously. But I am glad you guys are at least looking at fixing it to the way it should be.
