The "Types of Threads" Thread

Why would anyone want this game to be like Blade and Soul?
Besides the graphics, the actual combat is so boring and there is no Trinity,
the gear/loot system is awful, and features nothing new into the MMO world.

Now.. I love FFXIV as much as the next guy but "BnS combat is boring" is a first. Have you ever played it? It's by far he most intuitive, complex and satisfying combat i've ever played in an MMO. From the countering system to the combos, its definitely top notch.

No need to bash another game due to your distaste for it. But let me tell you this: FFXIV combat is slow.. Like SLOW. A monk with 670 skill speed, all 3 GL stacks and a fiber optic LAN connection couldn't help the pace of the combat in this game. Just telling it like it is. u_u

And you're going to have a bias against it due to you disliking any MMO's that lack the trinity.. You see where i'm getting at here?
*But I do agree, FFXIV and BnS are worlds apart. One does NOT need to be like the other.

I'm sure he meant no offense dude. We all have our own opinions afterall. Personal preferences is also something to take in mind. I may not like XIV's combat system, but it is well balanced and provides exactly what we expect from it, not too much but not too less, and I often participate in discussion threads about combat systems that would just be cool in XIV.

Anyways, yeah Blade and Souls combat was awesome, but you know what combat system might be even more awesome? DMC4s. Can you imagine that in an MMO? I'd lose my friggen mind if that happened. One game was kinda going for that named Rusty Hearts but sadly it closed down, bummer
