[dev1032] Current Affinity System

[Evovenom]

So I'm a "Hardcore Player" and I want to be the best of the best. Let us put the XI system to use.

1. Level Ninja to 37 for Utsusemi 2 then TRASH it.
2. Level Red Mage to 41 for Convert and Refresh then TRASH it.
3. Level Samurai to 45 for all those abilities then TRASH it.
4. Level Warrior to 45 for Warcry, Provoke, etc. then TRASH it.

Now I have the most over powered melee class in the game (at the moment) combined with every single ability that makes every other class unique, thus making all other classes pointless to level up any further. Now I can heal myself for 400-600HP along with Raise, and never miss (Zanshin) while spamming weapon skills as much as my stamina will let me; combined with every single class attack buff and accuracy buff further enhancing my OVERPOWERED SLUG SHOT damage per arrow on the initial burst in which I can Store TP ASAP thus giving me around 1.5-3k TP allowing me to toss out 2-6 weapon skills in a row. Rinse and Repeat in a matter of seconds.

Did you ever play XI? That not how it works, you can't really do any of that. You can only sub one class, you can't keep anything from other jobs and even subbing one class you were still weak on the other side. Even if they were to add XI style and jobs it isn't going to be how you pictured it. Sub in XI only powers up your main job.

That little quote you made is just a call out... pointing out an obvious that should have been fixed from the start. Then they fix.. atm I don't see any fixes. They say they will but let us see what they do. In the mean time every body has every right to complain... considering they have my $80 and crushed my hopes for having another great FF MMO

Oh poor Spuffin, your hopes have been CRUSHED... Seriously, you have all my sympathy. Should we start a relief fund?

Overdramatization much?

"should have been fixed from the start" is easy to say with hindsight. I can't remember anyone, in the beta forums, proposing anything to the effect of rebalancing class affinity.

You can complain all you want, but demanding the basic foundation of the game to be SCRAPPED (instead of balanced, which should be the first thing to try) just because, with the current settings, it has a potential for abuse doesn't give you much credibility, and for sure displays the fact that you aren't anywhere aware of what such a radical change would entail (redesigning and retesting the whole game, which would take years).

LOL that would be amazing if Final Fantasy 11 worked like that and you are right and yes.. I am right every class would be over powered and the game would be broken if FF11 used FF14's afinity system. Which is my exact point...

lol you just tossed a burn on yourself.

And your point is?

1. You suffer from psychosis because I never said that. What I said was, if you are not having fun playing a game meant to be fun, don't play it.....we call that sanity.

2. If those things happen, they happen, fear of them is no reason to play a game and NOT have fun. If it's not fun, don't play it. They'll get the idea.

If you read you will notice that maybe all comments aren't directed at you. But whatever floats your boat. Abriael is the "If you don't like it play something else" guy. But i guess you only read every other post.

And paying for a product does give you an opinion... and if you haven't noticed by the polls and everything else. People aren't happy. Your beloved system is going to change one way or another. You trolling isn't helping in any way shape of form. You have 350+ posts.... and i bet at least a third of them say "If you don't like it play something else"

Then go play another game, since the armory system is the very basic foundation of this game, it's selling point and most advertised feature. It's not going to go away because you hate it.

It's not a bad thing really. Different games are for different targets. This one, quite obviously, is not for you, since you hate it's whole premise.

It's not basic, don't be ignorant. In XI you only need to take warrior to 37, or mage job to 37. Now it's 45 but remember XI is old and has been doing it's thing for quite sometime. And that's it you don't ever need to touch that job again.
In XIV you need to level more then 2 class, say each 25 Lv x3 is a level 75. Then you can finally go back to your main and add more levels to 75 mix. You need to view their points aswell not just what you think is basic foundation.

Change is perfectly fine. Mind you, I probably proposed more constructive changes to this game in this very forum than you did. Including changes to this system, mind you.

There's a radical difference between change and "SCRAP IT! ARRRRRRRR!"

I believe my many constructive proposals on how to change, rebalance and fix the mechanics of the game are quite more useful than all the "SCRAP YOUR SYSTEMS SE!" threads around here.

The armoury system is what the whole implementation of the rest of the game is based on, besides being the main selling point and the most publicized feature of this game. Yes. I would say that's pretty much the very definition of "basic foundation".
