[dev1134] Guildleve Revisions

[Arcell]

Sucks for those who like to do 8 local and 8 field leves every cycle. Field leves are by far the best way to rank up DoL so you're in effect losing 4 awesome leves per cycle. I took both MIN and BTN to 50 while spamming local leves for BSM and ARM. Had this change been in place I'd probably not be anywhere near 50 in one of those. Though I wouldn't have missed the 5 or so leve cycles I have in the past couple of months so I'd have made back a bit ground. Still less over all.

I'd like to take fishing to 50 but with this new system it's not going to happen now until all my crafts are 50 since I will prioritise crafting over fishing. I'd love to sit and spam as many fishing leves as possible before 1.19 but it's probably not worth it until rank 25.

Over all the new system is great, but they should have made it 5 leves per 12 hours to try keep almost the same number.

You lose 4 total leves per 36 hours however you can do whatever you want with the 8 you get per day. If you want to focus on gathering then you can take all the gathering leves you can handle each reset. It's not split so you have more freedom of what you do with your leves.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the other hand I'm glad that they're removing part of this artificial gameplay restriction but then again I thought they wanted to make this game be about something other than just leves.

Maybe next year when they've done the major revisions to broken gameplay systems the future direction of XIV will be more clear when they can focus on new content and we'll see what kind of content that will be.

how can improvements be viewed as bad? its sad very sad. You should leave and come back next year...

because this specific improvement, is only an improvement in the eyes of the beholder
not everyone will like the loss of 4 leves every 36 hours in order to "stock up" on them

[Felis]

yeah, I see now what you mean
I have a little logic error in my math /swt

because what you consider as an improvement others that are leveling multiple classes can look at it as 4 less chances every 36 hours for additional chances at getting leves or guild marks.

・ Players will receive an allowance of four leves every 12 hours (Earth time), up to maximum of 99.
・ The allowance will be shared amongst regional, local, and faction leves.

Correction:
Current system is 5.3 leves per 12 hours... so the reduction to 4 is nowhere near as drastic as my initial miscalculation. ^^;

Original post:

4 leves every 12 earth hours ... that's 1/3 of what we have now.

Currently we have 8 regional battle/gathering/faction leves + 8 local crafting leves every 16 hours... Scaling that down to the new 12 hour period for comparison, that's 12 leves every 12 hours.

That's a pretty big reduction!

um currently we have 8+8 every 36hours, next patch we'll have 12 every 36hours. Only lose 4 leves, but in exchange you can get more SP/36hour if you are focused into one class.

Oh boy. Major numbers boo-boo by me. ^^;

I'll edit my post but leave the original mistake for shame purposes. ><

no you wont you will still only be able to do 8 within a 36 hour period, and now you will no longer be able to do 8 local leves on top of that.
