Thread: We're getting stat allocation back in 1.20, right?

I don't think for balance reasons they will let us allocate 100% freely.

For instance leveling Mar 1-50 we won't be given the option to pool all stats into STR, and forego PIE.

Why? That leads to imbalance.

I think we'll see like some others are speculating where upon level up all stats are increased automatic, save a few points which we can choose freely. But levels will have to have stat hard caps in order to keep balance.

Anyways Materia pretty much allows you to stat the way you want.

Honestly, I could do without point allocation. Automatic is just fine for me

honestly i dont know if they will really bring it back, that may have been like, lets not cause an uproar, lets tell em well bring it back later.

It also is amazing how perception changes based on almost no info, people right now have almost no idea how the stat formulas work now, or how effective they are, and they claim that now stats matter. you do realize that we now have waaaay more total stat points than we did before? if the reason they sucked is because we had too much, how much bonus stats do you think you have to have to make a difference now?

I just find it funny that people think stats matter so much more now, based on nothing but the fact that they think it does.

Anyhow back to the op, i dont think its coming in 1.20, i dont remember them ever giving a date on its return, though its possible. They also never made it clear whether you would have full allocation opptions or a limited one. With how big our pools are now, i somehow doubt we will get full allocation back though

I'm almost certain they confirmed half of this stuff somewhere, I'll find it when I have some time. If I recall correctly it was confirmed that stat allocation would be both automatic and manual with the bonus points. There would be fewer bonus points than previously but they would matter more and that it would be coming back in 1.20 but again I'll have to find the source in a few hours.

Found it!

Implementation of automated character development based on class level.

We will implement a system whereby players can voluntarily allocate attribute points to each class in patch 1.20. This will take place alongside class balance adjustments.

As long as its optional. I prefer automatic, but I'm always open to more options, including the option of setting stats myself.

Toss me in the 'leave it automatic' column. There's enough spreadsheet browsing to figure out the rest of the game, lets not add another reason to go check a website or plug numbers into an excel formula to figure out what to click.
