Morale

[IceWing]

Please remove it from the game if you are not going to make use of it, don't add more content that makes the pvp gear completely useless. In my opinion the new frontlines should scale like wolves den (except keep the ilvl sync, while allowing pvp gear to go over it). Allowing pvp gear and materia useful, it's entirely pointless to add more pvp gear when it can't be used in pvp.

I wish they'd just change Morale to a Sphere effect like Final Fantasy XI had...

For those that don't know, gear with a Sphere effect in Final Fantasy XI granted stats boosts to party members in proximity to you, rather than benefiting the wearer. For example you could have "Sphere: Critical Hit Rate +3%", which would grant nearby party members "Critical Hit Rate +3%".

I think it would be a fairly nice way to balance things out... PvP veterans don't get more powerful, instead they boost their team slightly, they offer the team morale. Nothing too powerful of course, but it would be a hell of a lot better than the current do-nothing Morale IMO. I'd like to get the gear and feel like its offering something to the game, even if it's only "Nearby party members get an extra 2VIT" per piece of Morale gear...

That sounds fun and I missed that from when I played FFXI.

Morale does function in ilvl sync. It is giving you small amounts of a gear slot's uncapped secondary.

I swear PvP gear is such a joke, aside for the looks I don't really see any point in getting them, they are as bad as someone wearing a poetic gear (sarcasm of course). Yeah I agree with the OP, Either make Morale useful or get rid of it and put an actual working stats. I know someone will post later in here "but it works in non-sync wolves den (blah blah blah)". Let's face it no one queues on that game mode, if SE can pulled a statistic of players who entered that mode, I'd be surprise if it even goes to two digit. Heck I bet that selection in the finder doesn't even work and is just a place holder to say they made "this non-sync mode".

I don't know who decides these PvP decisions but I feel like he/she is the biggest Goobbue developer to ever set foot in the gaming industry. PvP gear is really nothing more than a symbol and even that has been taken away from us pvpers (ilvl 110 no rank req). The PvP gear is as relevant as playing runescape in my 20 year old AMD2k6 computer.
