Reset - Prestige system (Suggestion/Idea)

[Adrian74]

This is an idea I just came with... That could get many forms until liking the people or not, who knows...

Actually it is some kind of reset-prestige system... For example, I thought about this, once all my classes reach level 50... I'll make another character just for starting from zero, that way I don't get bored never... (Does it work? Uh, well, depending of the person, I restarted a lot of matches and saved datas in FFXII and FFX just for starting again and get fun again... Why wouldn't it be the same or even better in online game where you can travel around with more people, etc?)

Ideas could be... When your character reaches level 50 with all the classes you can reset them all and obtain some kind of present while having the fun of levelling up again that class (Some people likes grind level and so, again it is opinion-based and I don't expect everyone to like it, because it is imposible to design something that everyone would like)

Of course this could be made in different ways.... For example... That you wouldn't need to level all the classes, just the classes of one type. (Example you level all your disciples of war and then reset them, or discipls of hand, land, magic...) Or even reset only one class...

As for rewards it could also be different, since giving you some number aside the name or different symbol or something whenever you use a restarted class, showing how many times you restarted (Is it useful for anything? No, but... If you are bored, why not reset?) Or giving something that would make resetting worth of it, such as stats bonuses, new skills, or allow you to obtain some crosskills for that class that you wouldn't be able to obtain otherwise (Also making you the hard decission of choose which skill whenever you reset....)

Think on the most important thing... It would enhance the life of the game for certain people. Now what I wonder if that would be worth of Square Enix's attention or not... Since I can't value already how many people would like this... Maybe we should have a poll?...

So this is the idea of a noob, and probably bad explained because my English is not really good, negative and positive comments are welcome, of course, but if you don't like it try to be constructive and not based in opinions such as "It would be boring because I don't like level-grinding or resetting" and such...

Thanks everyone for reading! ^^

I just read from ffxi info, that they make 'job point', so example you already cap at lvl. You still can play and accumulate the xp into job point (like 30k xp per 1 point from ff11 perspective) and that job point can be spend to get more better on your cap class

They are still planning doing that, can be seen on this idea from ff11 website http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...957#post496957

That's an awesome new for me, Archi!... It's also a good idea that, for example, you could select to upgrade more your stats, by selecting them, not just having a "bonus" when resetting a job...

Thanks for commenting and giving hopes!

I don't play FFXI anymore. How is the job point thing different than merit points?

We would know later after they show more information, but from what i can capture merit point you can earn by using any job and u can spend on any job. But with job point you only can earn job point by using that job for xp. Example i want get job point for warrior then i must use war to do that

Please keep your CoD play time FAR AWAY from you FF14 playtime, because clearly your CoD mind set is starting to leak into your FF mind set.


Anyone that puts forth the effort to hit 50 on ever job and class, isn't going to just toss all of that away for a special item unless that item is godly in power. Not to mention the fact that there is no point in such a system considering 50 is only the current level cap. If you really have the desire to relevel to 50 on everything again, there are 7/8 other character slots you can fill on your server/other servers.

I would much rather see something similar to the merit system in ffxi or planar attunement in rift where you can obtain exp at max level that gives you a point every time you get a "level" and then you can spend that point on things such as stat boosts, ability boosts, etc. some points you spend would effect your entire character regardless of job and some would be job specific. Personally I am not a fan of grinding so I would not use what you're suggesting at all, I'm more interested in level cap increases or other systems that will allow me to continue advancing my character without having to basically redo the same things over again.

"*Psst*, Yoshi-san... I just hear, that player will be content with trinket or something just by rerolling the toon! This means we don't have to make no more content, just make already available content over and over! for mediocre prize! Like Samurai Warriors or Dynasty whatever, this is great, let's make this 2.4 announcement."

Really though, In Chrono Trigger you replay the game like 10 times for different endings, and you get a star next to your name and unlock stuff for doing so. Worked well back then, played that game like 50 times

No thanks this are no call of duty.

Sadly... Because forum limitations I couldn't write this when I wanted to... But this (with all respect) meaningful comments where the one I wanted to avoid and I asked people to refuse write...

Geez... I guess I should have avoided use a word such as "prestige" because people seems to necessarily need to link it to CoD series or something, and we are in a FFXIV forum, I didn't even make any mention to CoD here...I already said I wouldn't even care for put this suggestion here because as Slatervorjager-san said I could easily make any other characters, but that's not the idea here for resetting, I'm giving an idea of something that could be implemented or we could do, not wondering about what I actually can do (Make another character when this reach all-50)

There's people that wouldn't mind in rewatch-live again the content, especially if you give them a little reward for it, of course not so big so other players that doesn't like that wouldn't feel 'forced' to also reset because of the bonus-reward...

"*Psst*, Yoshi-san... I just hear, that player will be content with trinket or something just by rerolling the toon!

And you are right! It's a win for they and for this kind of players that like such things, isn't it?!.... Not a big deal to just addapt it for rerolling everything! :P

PS: Btw, I respect all the comments here, of course, like more those who have a little more of sense and meaning in their words than others, thanks for your time ^^
