Element system needs changes?

[iambanana]

yeah, why make this game harder and more complex, its just add more work for no reason, maybe better if they just delete elemental, status and physical resistance altogether. and for next just delete the bonus attribute feature, because allocating bonus stats in this game is make everything complicated for no reason too, what the point to have a customizeable bonus status, if one status>>>>>other status

after that apply linear BiS, with only 1 set per 10 ilvl so every player have a chance to get best equip in game. delete crafting system, they already in the right path when they make crafting is obsolete for battle class, next just make NPC sell raid food and potion because buying HQ food and potion from other player is too expensive and not accessible for everyone and just delete crafting and gathering class next. and delete the gil, because stopping gil seller and spammer is too much work. sell every equip food and potion in game for untradeable token.

simple game is fun isnt it?

Why not? Then I could go farm my stuff faster and waste less time.

I really, really, really hate elemental resists and the like. There's zero fun in having to build up fifteen million different gear sets all for specific fights. >_>

[Suggestion]

This also effects the crafted gear in the game in order to make it work.
--Stat caps are removed(Or put on a large the global cap, compounding all equipment bonus stats) for all stats besides primary (Str, Vit, ect).
--Allow players to carry multiple sets of the same high-end craft equipment for switching elemental loadouts on the fly.

I thought this change would put crafted sets on the map by giving them the ability to be highly customized to fit the situations. Raid Loot gear would be more neutral and powerful overall but crafted could be adjusted to be optimized for specific bosses and situations, without over-powering them and causing Raid gear to be garbage. This could also create all kinds of new party combinations, synergies, and strategies

What do you guys think? Does the element system need big changes?

this is just to help you if you didn't know about it cause there are some people who don't and i just read a thread where someone didn't know about it. Well even i was told about it a year ago. I was astonished as well, but i felt exhilaration as well as an emptiness fill inside me.

You can copy what you cant fit into the thousand character limit and then use the edit function and paste it into your original post. The character restriction is well... well i don't know why its there really. Maybe i do. Ya i don't know.

They'll never do this. They would have to completely reworked the whole battle system. Yoshida and team think that the general player base can't comprehend "complicated" aspects like elemental affinity. Even defense is useless cause in most cases, survivability for certain fights are determined by the amount of HP you have. Example would be titan hm with 3600 HP. BLM would be completely useless in a lot of content with it's Super Mario flower fireballs. Speaking of which, is probably on of the most disappointing things in this game.
