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

[Rinsui]

Yes. That's one of the veeeeery few things from 11 I am actually happy they did not copy.

[Shikaree]

I never want to see gear swapping in another MMO game ever.

It's just ridiculous that you need at least 2+ different gear pieces per slot just to maximize your usefulness, add more and also put in day/weather conditions for any caster classes.

Keep it simple, SE. You can combine gear to tailor to what you want to put your strengths to, but keep away from the damn situational need to swap everything in battle on the go.

[Sine]

So you want to have to swap gear for certain WS or spells to be most effective?

Yes, I do.

[Rydin]

Yes, I do.

Id rather not have that... just one man's opinion though

[SilvertearRen]

This is not Final Fantasy 11.

If you want gear swaps, go back to that game.

This is Final Fantasy 14.

God, I hate these FF11 fans trying to turn FF14 into another FF11.

Get out, you idiots. Just get out.

Don't turn this into a FFXI vs FFXIV flamewar. FFXI did a lot of things right and FFXIV stands to profit from what S-E can learn from it. Debate the feature on its own merit.

Spare us the vitriol.

you don't change your weapon for ws in ffxi ( changing weapon = 0% tp )
only mage change their weapon for spell

in ffxi you have full dex/haste armor ( more hit = more tp )
than use macro to change your armor to full str for ws ( more powerful )

( yeah it was pain for the first time )

gear swapping was necessary but i didnt like that part of ffxi tbh. I think its better the way it is and so far... gear swap in party? with this slow system and lag? you will have the proper gear equipped 1 min AFTER the mob is dead....

They need to improve the system a lot to make the normal gear swap/class FAST not just faster.

They need to save the abilities on the action bar for each class the way people set it up. So we don't have to use macros for it. (only if we feel like so we have perhaps different macros for other camps, mobs or situations - but should be an option only)
Also the stats need to be saved to really feel the freedom of a job system. Resetting the stats slowly isnt fun at all.
Its a stupid timesink.

so far every change, if gear or ability takes ages and is no fun and unnecessary. Its so sad that its not fixed by now.
The game encourages (if not even forces) people to play many different jobs/classe BUT at the same time changing them is so slow, with a lot of useless interactions...

more of these slow actions? <<no thanks>>

This is now a FF11 vs FF14 thread... again.
