How would you improve ARR

[Codek]

Re-work Tier 3 LB into a group effort to execute. Every 2.5 seconds an individual player must throw their LB into the mix building up the attack and unleashing an effect based on the last person to add to the chain. It should be a 20 second process to complete or have dimished effect for every second it did not take to complete. None of the LB actions will have an animation lock (but will use GCD).

Remove auto-attack (seriously it does nothing to gameplay) and add in some single target skill shot based attacks.

Add the following stats:
- Movement speed (melee only)
- Luck (alters drop rates for items (i.e. atma's/minions/crafting mats)
- on attack hit procs (nothing drastic)
- increased range (range only)

Create a melee healing class (because beating someone with a stick to get them back up is the only way it should be done!).

Create a ranged tank and or kite tank.

Finish the alliance system!!!

Give summons actually attacks they use in instances. I want to stomp or Mountain Buster someone

Give summons their true appearance. No Egi's

Fix the very bad clipping. Somethings are acceptable but not all.

A dangerous world. True level 50 monster roaming around that have a massive aggro area.

More vanity. one patch they should introduce more then 4 sets of new vanity.

More fights like Titan extreme/hard mode that would make people give up hope

I'd introduce more classes/jobs at a time than it seems SE is doing. Specifically, I'd introduce a tank, healer, and a DPS role at the same time to (hopefully) maintain a balance of the roles being played. Once Rogue/Ninja comes out, everyone and their dog will be leveling Rogue (this is assuming musketeer isn't coming out at the same time).

That said, we'd probably get Rogue/Ninja later that way since balancing them takes a lot of effort.

Also, I'd have Red Mage and Dancer in the works to be implemented at some point in the expansion. They would be great additions to the jobs in the game. Please SE? :3

Give summons actually attacks they use in instances. I want to stomp or Mountain Buster someone

Give summons their true appearance. No Egi's

For the first: Who knows, maybe the egi's will get some of those moves in the future as the level cap gets increased.

And the second... While I think it would be really cool to have the summons have the appearance of the primals they're based on... Having Titan, Ifrit, Garuda, or any other summon (even if it's not full size) following you around wouldn't make much sense given the lore of the game.

-Let us queue CT/ST as a full FC alliance

-Be able to hide jewelry, or introduce some better designed necklaces/earrings not all collars/chokers.

-Reassess Limit Break system so that everybody is involved in someway.

-Add purchasable gardens/room extensions to private rooms, let solo players have the ability to purchase their own private room via the innkeeper at their home city. (it seems unfair to exclude these players)

-Add fishtanks /aquariums to furniture

-Make adjustments to scholars in frontlines or buff other jobs.

1. Fates that target the player. I.e. Bandits wants to rob you. Monsters want to eat you.
2. Reduce RNG extremes.

[Solonuke]

Gear that's interesting.

[Reokudo]

Oh, I got a good deal of things I'd change.

1) Complete overhaul of combat system/Enemy/Boss AI. Less alt tab auto attack garbage, more action. Removal of GCD. Enemy AI changed to compensate for change in combat system, making them more reactive to player abilities causing them to evade/defend themselves better.

2) Reactive tanking. As part of the change with the combat system, no longer will you rely upon RNG to determine whether you block with your shield, or parry with your axe. It's all reactive to the press of a button. This of course will use up a different resource unique to tanks to use these.

3) Removal of excessive grind, near pointless RNG and instead making gear rewarded from raids/dungeons etc unique to each player. Gear is tradeable with all people in your alliance for a set amount of time.(Only gear tradeable, no gil or anything from outside the dungeon.) Atma changed to fragments you acquire per each fate in the zone. Approx 15-20 fates guarantees an Atma. 9 book grind instead becomes a choice of 9 books to put what stats you want on your relic.

4) Skill ranking: As ilvl is no indication to skill level... When queuing for DF you will have a set skill ranking that is increased or decreased determined by how well you perform. Are you great at avoiding damage, dealing damage? Expert at keeping your party safe from enemy blows? Do you make sure nobody drops below a certain % of their health and that nobody really dies under your watchful eye? You get a personal grade. If you're terrible, die a great deal etc, Your rank will be low, and you will be queued in with other people of low rank. This lets the more skilled players play with people their own league, get things done at more quicker pace. While it forces the lesser skilled people to git gud or forever be stuck where they are. If a high skilled player is in a group with a low skilled player and they queue for DF, it will go by the lower skilled person's rank, disallowing total carrying.

5)Reactive encounters: No more aoe circles and ability indicators for boss encounters. Study the enemy's movements, learn their attacks from trial and error. Enemy Ai becomes more intelligent and may prioritize certain abilities when the need arises making the encounter vary per attempt.

6) Materia system overhaul: I recall in 1.0 that certain equipment yielded higher chances of specific materia types. Return of this and increased overall spiritbond gain.

7)Change to crafting/gathering experience point values. No longer will they be the same or anywhere close to a combat classes'. Adds special perks for crafting, maximum of two specialized crafts. Perks could include no failures melding equipment that is repaired/crafted by said class, additional materia slots etc(Items enhanced by these perks cannot be sold or traded)

8)Overhaul of Hunt system. Open world dungeons make a return and Hunt NM's appear within them. Hunt NM's are phased for people the same way leve mobs are. You will still need a group for the higher ranked ones. In the process, they still have the same spawning system as they do now(Minus these weird spawning reqs S ranks seem to have.). Killed a NM in this area? Come back in an hour or two for another shot, or go to another dungeon.

9) HNM's, which work the same way Hunts do now. They only drop vanity equipment. There's your competition to be fabulous.

10) That Favor system that was in that april fools page. Who doesn't want their favorite NPC as a waifu?

11)Return of better meshes and textures the 1.0 version had for PC users. Hell, make the textures even better! Bring back the women's butts!

12) Make jiggly bits jigglier.(But not excessive)

13)Return of the NPC Fellows from 1.0. Only now they do their jobs better.

14) Better chocobo system, makes them use their abilities more often instead of waving their useless wings around with their mouth agape as if someone is waving greens in their face.

15) Skill chain system, certain actions can be chained together to create a more powerful effect. But has a heavy drawback upon being used. (Increased TP/MP consumption for it)

16) No more party Limit Break, each player has their own gauge. Each Limit Break varies per job, it can miss and be wasted if your target happens to move. Certain Limit Breaks can be combined with other players to create a more powerful effect. MORE METEORS!? MORE LIKE ASTEROID.

Have materia system that actually useful with have crafter being able to open slot's for end game gear with a varity of ability/traits materia or if they get creative and come up with other materia I feel the current materia system is being hold back bc of Rmt se to fearful of them causing crafters and materia system to be a side show that keep playing catch up.
