Melding

[Eibon]

Can you please fix and or speed up the animation of failed melds? Quite annoying to sit there for literally 5 seconds while my character hangs his/her head in shame at a failed meld 50 times in a row... Quite, literally, annoying.

5x50 = 250

250/60 = 4.16666666666

4 minutes of my life, hanging my head in shame. This is just a typical example. I'm sure people hang their head in shame for less/more time. But seriously... that 5 second animation, please fix it.

I think the neck strain of my characters head shaking in disappoint has transitioned over to my own disappointment irl. I've been having neck pains since playing this.

I agree, please fix this animation. It's ridiculous. It took me 52 materia to get the last meld on an offhand yesterday, huge waste of my time shaking my head.

Also, it could be improved upon futher if the materia you had selected doesn't get deselected every time you go back to the melding menu...

Ouch, my record was 32 times with 13%- 4th slot (artisan's offhand)

The entire melding process needs to be streamlined. FAR too many menus to navigate just to meld, whereas if you wanted to meld something for someone else, just 1 window. Why can't we have that?

Agreed.....

I personally find it very hard to justify any melding on my gear just because I know will be outdated fairly quickly like within couple months. Kudos to the people willing to put in time, effort and money to do such but I just cant bring myself to do it unless the success rate was to be drastically increased. I would of thought the animation time was the least of the worries though behind success rate and cost of the materia for example.

If you want to craft or gather at end game you actually need to hit specific Craftsmanship, control, gathering, perception caps that require melding. Also if you're at that stage of the game chances are you're selling the highest level crafted gear penta-melded.
