Make our Lvl 11+ Chocobos Stronger!

[KingOfAbyss]

In the future when both players and monsters become stronger we will look into increasing companion stats as well.

We started lvl 1, and now we are lvl110. When we will be strong enough for you, lvl200?

Hopefully SE will consider Horizontal progression. As it is now, it's ridiculous.

Back in the game to get that Onion >.<

For Companion Chocobo’s Rank 11 and onward the system was designed so that your companion's stats do not increase, but instead that you increase them by adding skill points and we don’t have any plans at the moment to enhance them. This is because we'd like to keep this as content that is for players that enjoy the companion system instead of making it critical to get a companion to rank 20.

In the future when both players and monsters become stronger we will look into increasing companion stats as well.

In regards to tank-type companions maintaining enmity, it becomes more difficult as players become stronger through higher item levels, so we will look into balancing this separately.

You could, I dunno, make barding actually be useful. Make special bardings, even make them craftable (please for the love of God make some that aren't 50***, you know, so they can be crafted as you're leveling the choco and your craft skills), give the head and feet attack stats and the armor defense stats. Perhaps even make special "class" bardings like you already have, but give them stats as well.

I'd love stats on barding. I've long been hoping they'd do something like that. Could even add stats to current barding. And let them be glamoured.

[Laeore]

I don't see anything wrong with the state of healing/DPS Chocos. As far as tank Choco enmity... wouldn't the easiest thing be to add a 100% enmity modifier when in tank stance? Boom... tank choco's are useful again.

I like barding being just vanity, not everything needs to have stats, they can use other ways to boost the stats of the bird.

[Estellios]

Yea barding boosting stats just ruins the whole point of it which is to let you choose how your chocobo looks.

Please can you also tweak Topaz Carbuncle/Titan-Egi too.

[Felis]

Barding should be vanity, not with stats.
For stats we have already foods.

[Adrian74]

Perhaps give chocobo stats based on player's item level, or at least bonus enmity for tank skills based on ilvl.

THIS.... It would also be a good incentive for we chocobo lovers to level up the gear....And it is very logical the chocobo should be adjusted to the real force of the user, meaning... The real force right now, because this all, (Sadly) is gear progression style, is not that the user is level 50, is the level of the gear....

+1, Yes to Chocobo stats adjusted in base of the ilvl!

When barding was introduced in 1.xx they made a big deal about how it was armour and they had a newspaper article about how it would protect the bird and stuff like that. That always seemed to me like we'd eventually get stats for them. The heaviest most expensive armour seemed like it would be really effective in particular. The fact that they didn't go ahead with that seems odd but maybe the just changed their mind.
