[ Dev's ] Gear Swaps Can I have It?

[viion]

I liked it because it ment I had variety, atm I have the best gear for mage and it cant get better unless I go +3 everything, but getting +3 would just be elitism and that is what gear swapping is, its elitism, so most of you here are most likely hypocrites.

Instead of "do you have XYZ?" it will be "You dont have any +3 gtfo".

And due to the armour system it will be "do you have xyz spell? gtfo", i do it, if you dont have cure/sac 2 i dont wanna play with you, you suck.

So you're all glad you dont have to have 100 pieces of armour, but now you need 100 skills from levelling all the different classes up.

Just replacing 1 thing with another

Although I like that its not in because it did make some thing stough, you are all well over exaggerating it, take a SAM, all you needed was a Haste set and a STR set and you'd be fine for 99.9% of things.

Or... play with friends who wont be picky about xyz stats.

And once again, because of a number of people that said they do not want this idea back, this topic has turned into FFXI vs FFXIV.

(Thanks Captain Obvious)

No thanks. Peoples inventory are full as it is. Also I dont like to see people blink for every god damn attack they do

As much as I loved SpellCast (which I of course never used because that's a third-party plugin) and having intricate macros setting optimal gear for every spell, every ability, every situation... That is one part of FFXI that I hope FFXIV never emulates.

Switching weapons in combat I accept and am all for. Biggest reason I dislike the Armory system: you can't switch to a knife without becoming an entirely different person.

Changing your pants several times throughout a fight is ridiculous.

.
Unless you soiled yourself because you are lactose intolerant and drank a whole jar of Aldgoat milk... I hate when that happens

[Alastar]

also gear swapping is... just ridiculous... They have already made the effort to not implement it in the game. So =P

i loved gear swapping in ffxi, i really was disapointed when it wasn't in this game. biggest reason is i like collecting the gears for it all. u turn the 22spaces of gear into way more. now instead of 22 u have gear swaps witch are equivelent to more slots that u need to collect gear for. i loved this and wish it back. also i hate gear sets and having to decide witch ones to put on for when instead of switching them out threw marco's then and there.

i'm thinking this game will have best job gears and best class gears at some point along with best for situation gears but i hate the idea of having to put my sheath down to do it. or having to be geared prior. macro's and gear swaps is the way to go.

people who don't like to macro well the problem is that no games are changing how macro's work ...they keep making them complex crap with text lines when it can be something simple for people like drap and drops or something that takes seconds to do.

but yeah, gear swapping was awsome in ffxi, change sets for everything, full sets of mp heal and rest, for nukes, for ws, for landing spells, everything. was great. and surely beats being stuck with like 2sets of gear or soemthing like that witch then u have to replace instead. if no switchings means how many peices of gear u will really have? i'm thinking without gear swaps it will be like other mmo's where new gear replaces the old, and i say this is horrible idea.

[Andrien]

No thanks. I disagree with swapping. Its unrealistic, and it is a hassle clinging onto old out dated gears.

[Warm]

its not fun and its stupid
I have to agree that gear swap is one thing I hate about ff xi

[weeble]

it's not realistic? i forget i'm shooting fireballs from my *** all day at home and freezing my friends with a touch. hey check out this for real i got a peice of clothing your poor *** can't afford. woot reality but they take that out too. meh anyway i'ma go jump on my chocobo and hit the mall theres a 2 for 1 sale on gold rings that make lightning bolts fly out my fingers.

[Roll]

Oh god... hell no. I hated when people blinked away for a second for every action they do. I couldn't target them with cures when they blinked away either(Before blinkmenot came out). DO NOT bring back gear swapping!
