[dev1072]Player Opinion on abolishing of Physical levels

[Evangela]

playing the game with 100+ clone characters for 2 months is more than horrible!

[AsterBarnivere]

They're not really gone, seeing as "Rank" became "Level" - the "Physical" aspect to it..

[Kirith]

I'm not angry physical levels are going, but i'm very angry physical levels were in to start with. Worst example of game development EVER, put in some fancy feature that has no sense or purpose other than marketing.

[Forbin]

happy about the removal of physical levels.

[Solfleur]

I just think it sucks that I have worked all these months making myself extremely well-rounded--have leveled every job to at least 25, thereby earning high physical level though my highest ranked job is less than 40.

Now all that work will be null and void.

ALL those hours of actual, non-bot-assisted, grinding will be rendered absolutely meaningless, as all the points I've earned are cut, neutered in the worst meaning of the word, leaving me reduced to the rank, I'm sorry..."level" of each job I play.

First my CON was nerfed and I was given a choice between going healer or changing to another job. I changed jobs and began again with minimal fuss after the first shock of the situation.

Of course in another brilliant change mats I had painstakingly gathered were made worthless with ZERO compensation, but that was minor. It's just gil. I still had my skills and I like...... never mind. I won't say what I like. That will be the next thing taken away.

And now this. Months of play, of doing what the game was ORIGINALLY DESIGNED for...making myself a jack of all trades and making that work to my advantage rather than focusing on just one thing. That WAS the kind of player the game ORIGINALLY rewarded, but now it's just become the same old, same old, SAME OLD THING. Had I known that I'd have just stuck with FFXI and saved myself the heart ache. I put years of work into that game, but was lured by the promise of something new and special here, and all these giant leaps BACKWARD from a beautifully original idea are just heart breaking.

My loyalty is being sorely, sorely tested. I begin to understand why bots are the norm in this game rather than the exception. I don't even bother to report them any longer. My server crawls with them, and I totally and completely understand why. What possible reason exists to be honorable (other than one's own personal code of ethics) when we are jerked around by the developers in this way?

I have never in my life (and I am a very adult player) cheated in any game, but even *I* can understand how one could be tempted with all the nonsense that has gone on in this one. We barely find our balance after one fall before another foot sweep comes along.. It's like the developers are taking some sadistic delight in seeing how much punishment we will masochistically take before they deliver the final coup de grace and inform us they have decided not to go forward with the game at all.

Maybe that would be a relief.

ok first off why is all that time wasted? you leveled all these jiobs to get ur physical up so you still have all those jobs leveled? Wheres the waste in still having that? 2 im tired of people throwing around how since they have a 50 thm or w/e their level 1 gladiator should be better then anothers. Why? what does your knowledge of the magic arts automatically give u the know it all attitude of being able to swing a sword? A veteran carpenter isn't better at knitting a sweater then a novice knitter so whats your point?

No time has truely been wasted, a convoluted system was removed and each person will soon be able ti customize each class exactly how they want to without having to be a jack of all trades. some people dont like being middle of the road and this decision helps in everyone being able to play exactly how they want... and also you still get that advantage from your 50 jobs, just in skills u earned not in attributes you shouldnt actually hve when switching classes. Trust me, this game isnt hard you will still be able to solo to 50 whenevr you want...

I'm glad that physical levels are going, now I won't have to look at my attributes and wonder if I'm doing the right thing.

Only problem I see with it though is if the points automatically change to the best possible ones for each class, why would you ever want an alt, since one character would be excellent at everything?

Atleast with an alt it will enable you to do twice as many leves. Learned this from watching bots.

This is true, in my case Konata does all the conjury and crafting leves, then once all that's done and I'm in the mood to do some more, I get Ren to do Pugilist leves

Hours or fun and enjoyment.

Let's see...

If you level up your Physical Level to 50, you could possibly be more effective with other classes.
Making this step is kind of going to let us customize our classes better, so we can customize one class in a different way than another with the points based on our ranks. I find this more equilibrating than having a Physical Level that might be higher and break the balance.
I think this will promote personalization even more.
