Race Differences

[Ryans]

just that bold line is enough for a no vote, you cant get ppl out of that mind set

also FYI the stats in this game is not all about Kill mobs, it effect craft also, if there is a different like you said, then that mean I who play Miqote of the moon can only be effective in WVR GSM because my highest stat is dex ?

I never said that the stat difference should be like it was in FFXI, in fact I hinted to quite the contrary. I want there to be some difference in stats; something like 5-10% taken out from one or two stats and added to another. The lore of game suggests that certain races are better at certain things, but in practice it is the opposite. A Roedagyn CNJ should not have the exact same base stats as a Lalafell CNJ.

As for the issue with crafting, if you think that having a little less of a stat makes you completely incompetent in any given class, crafting or otherwise, you are mistaken. And if I am wrong about the minimal stat difference affecting crafting so much that it makes a race unable to partake in the said craft, SE could balance DoH and DoL classes to all have the same stats but have DoW and DoM classes have variation between races.

then isn't it better to not touch the stat at all for both DoW, DoM, DoH and DoL. There is no reason to fix the DoW and DoM and then balanced out the DoH and DoL, after go around and around you re back to where you start.

FYI: stat in craft doesn't do much but increase quality to the craft item, mean it only effect HQ of craft item. I think you should play the game more before make a suggest like this.

this ll be my last reply to this thread:

imo the stat is fine as it is, ppl can be all and can custom their char with materia and this the current stat system prevent the nightmare from the last mmorpg of those year where ppl have to be picky about race because of their class.

ninja edit: and prevent ppl to be lock out as well, atm we are being lock out enough already, dont need more

I'm confused at to what your point is, particularly where you say that balancing stats for DoW and DoM will force them to rebalance DoH and DoL stats. I'm really confused how we would be "back to where (we) start" after the initial changes I'm suggesting. It would be a very simple fix, mathematically speaking not programming wise as I have little knowledge of the coding necessary, to counter the racial stat difference for crafting classes by negating the racial difference when you switch to a DoH.

Are you saying that DoW and DoM classes should not have variation in stats between races because it will affect DoH and DoL chances for HQ? If you are, I don't see how my previous post is not a fix to the problem. Your race will affect your DoW and DoM classes but not your DoH/DoL.
