[dev1073] Automatic point distribution

[Coombah]

I think you should be able to put the points for each job the way you want them .

[Physic]

the way i understood it, they would do an automatic allocation, which you could then alter, as in for people who have no idea they can just follow the reccomended path, for people who want to specialize they can follow a different path. I dont think the game needs static allocations, probably because different classes have some very different skill sets. like con could have any mix of piety int and mind and vit depending on playstyle, thaum is similar, pug going heavy vit or dex depending on your chosen focus. I wont even mention more exotic possibilities like making a a drk like build or a rdm like build

one static allocation per class at this point wouldnt make too much sense, i hope my initial read was correct, and it doesnt head that path.

The point of stat allocation isn't for cookie cutter builds, but for different situations. If you know you're going to be doing something easy as a tank and don't need that much vit, you can allocate it to str and dex etc. If you're a caster and you're out soloing, you might want to put a bit more into vit vs. int to take more of a beating. It's things like that where stat allocation is useful.

Just want to re-post something that we stated a few weeks ago regarding the allocation of points.

Hey everyone, I know you're all excited to see how allocating stats will change in the future! While we can't give away too many specific details, we did confirm with the team that on class rank up the process of allocating points will still be controlled by the player.

Reading is hard for some

To be fair, as Bay said that post was a couple weeks ago, and not everyone reads the forums every day.

It's not the reading... it's the inevitable kneejerk reaction before (and if ever) comprehension sets in :P

Can't wait for the next thread about this in a couple days ^-^

Maybe so, but the dev tracker doesnt really fill up that fast, so older mod posts stay there for a few days. Wasnt really hard to miss.

Most of the folks that troll the forums assume that every piece of XIV info on the internet is beamed directly to your skull in real time. Because thats a totally reasonable expectation.
