BR vs SC.... missing the point

[Benjaman]

The point is why making another BR vs SC thread?

I won't even bother reading, i already know the summary is "BR sucks, SC wins, blah blah blah"

You know what? You can't use BR, you're dumb, that's it.

Congratulations! You missed the point entirely! It probably has something to do with that not even bothering to read thing. Let me see if I can spell it out even further for you and the other special people out there.

People (including myself) can use BR. Used properly, it is a viable tool for battle in terms of getting the job done. My argument is that it is very, very boring to use, watch, and otherwise experience.

boring = not fun

I play mmorpgs to have fun.

Do you understand? This is very important.

If you aren't going to read the post, then please don't bother to reply.

Uhm actually that was one of the few part I read and me and everyone I know in game totally disagree.
We find BR the funniest thing of the whole battle system, coz it's easy to do but open to tons of possibilities, we spent a lot of hour experimenting with it, we found out amazing things, we had great times testing and we are having great times doing them during fights.

The sum is the same, you're complaining about something you didn't bother to test and understand.

That's a convient excuse for "you're wrong I'm right" problem that plagues a lot of FF14's system.

If people aren't liking it, they're not liking it.

"Go play something else" is something SE absolutely doesn't want to hear.

I think is should be a combo of both... as in ffxi cs only allow 3 people (two melee's and a mage) at the most basic, BR deals with many folks trying to get into the action.. melee's would create the chain then mage's would give a extra burst, then would have to wait for 100+ tp and start over.. But BR allows everyone to jump in but you have to stand around waiting till your turn happens without attacking and such..

now think about CSing with two melee's and a burst happens, now a mage or two hits the burst with magic, now another melee tap's another /ws and a burst happens, mages nail it with magic, etc, etc, etc. this could continue happening till someone screwed up using the wrong the /ws and magic to kill the chain off..

this way skill combo's would flow together like FFxi but at the same time others could extend the chain with more people making it like BR attacks with out the delay of sitting around not attacking. the effect could work quite the opposite as as it worked in FFXI...

Start with light(fire, wind, lightning). now the most basic form of the cs and many melee's at the beginning many people would be able to jump in and continue the SC, but at higher levels(have more abilities or /ws from other classes) one would focus to the mob's weaker element, such as fire.

just a thought, I just like FFxi style of cs flowed together and i like the BR how everyone can join in.
