[dev1032] Current Affinity System

[Akumu]

I rather enjoy the armory system for it holds great potential. I see no need to complain about anything especially a CLASS right now until we get JOBS. Jobs will get rid of our classes by making them more like a sub in my opinion from the way its explained. As said by another thread....
Class = Weapon specialist
Job = Role specialist

Whether some of us are wrong or right we just can't say much about the armory system until it is completed.

Nah, you know, it needs to be SCRAPPED! Because scrapping a system is much better than fixing and expanding it, no?

But according to you, this game is basic and has this foundation. Selling point, it's so amazing this game is free to play. this forums is here for a reason, obviously big changes are coming. You said your not "mad" but you sound very childish right now.

lol nah I'll pass on that notion. This new type of armory system will be a good thing to brag about when this game succeeds among a lot of other future content. It sets the game apart from other MMOs and their cloned system.

Dude. Give me a good reason why I should level lancer to 50 when all of its best abilities are 1-20. You will have not much room for you abilities because apparently you can fit as many as you need at 50.

It also takes away the class unuiqness in which this game allows you to use lancer weapon skills and archer weapon skills and so on and so forth on every class. That's boring and not fun I am given no intensive to take any class to 50 let alone use Wide Valley on my Pugilist...

Now why would I want to take Archer to 40+ to use Wide Valley II on my Pugilist...

A good reason to rank lancer past 20....um..
1 - Skewer II (Incapacitation)
2 - Ferocity II(Dmg boost)
3 - For tanks, maybe collusion/diversion
4 - Twisting Vice(Incapacitation / Wipe enemy TP)
5 - Invigorate II(TP+)
6 - Comrade in Arms II

If those are not enough reasons..I don't know what you're looking for..

I hope it does turn out successfully one way or other.

It would have been much easier to just say that the current armory system is broken and unbalanced, which I believe the development team already knows. The system needs to be scrapped in my opinion, but at the very least the skills you can transfer to other classes needs to be restricted, longer cool-downs, less damage/healing baseline, etc. Most Archer skills need a nerf as well, as I am sure they are aware.

I'm all for big changes, but they have to be realistic. Most posts that feature "scrap this, scap that, rebuild the game from the ground up, turn this into FFXI-2!" and such, simply lack realism and suffocate realistic proposals that can actually help.

As for being childish, I think you have the wrong person

While I don't agree with the first part of your post, I fully agree with the second. As stated here:

Which seems to be what, for same reason, stemmed this thread.

It does not have to be literally scrap, I never said that. If you were Square Enix what exactly would you do better?

Hate to link it again, since I don't wanna spam. The link is just above your post. It's the easiest fix that comes to mind. Doesn't need to be the *only* one mind you. But I believe it's a good start.
