Thread: Do you want a character stamina system ? (2.0)

So.. after we pay with our wallets to play FFXIV, then we pay in game with our gil to play FFXIV.

No.

Calling it a gil sink doesn't justify a horrid idea. FFXIV needs gil sinks. Yes. FFXIV does not need horrible ideas.

Let me spoil the end of this thread for you. It's gonna die out and no one on the dev team is gonna care.

Short answer No. Long answer, add a google of o's to the short answer.

another fatigue system. I disagree with this idea.

i may have agreed with you about the exp reduction due to the speed it is given, but this idea is a sure 10000000000000% hell no.

This as a gil sink would be ok if it didn't essentially unbalance things in the long run.

Gil sinks would be things like Dynamis from XI (used to cost 1 million per glass, multiple groups could end up buying a glass = hundreds of millions gone just like that) or Limbus -- Basically content that cost you a decent amount of gil to participate in.

It's not exactly like Fatigue, it's more like how MMOs award bonus XP for not playing their game -- Eventually you'll normalize back to your usual levels if not lower in some cases, however being reduced to no damage is like the fatigue system that people ironically complained about (given the push for catering this game to people who can only play 5 hours a week) so yeah, I'd vote no as well.

thank you for understand the system, and thank you for point out the flaw

It would have to reduce fast for 50k to affect anyone. Thats 20 CS fixes per 1m. If its to ofast, 4-5/day thats punting out 200-250k/day, a lot of people will be angry. if its 1/day then it will be pointless.

A better gil sink would be 50k to get 20% more stats, because its win win, everyone will buy it, who doesnt want 20%?, everyone will want everyone else who is playing with them to buy it, who doesnt want their team mates with 20%, and people lose gil fast because they keep buying it. But in the end its optional.

What I just described is how the Food System should work (and kind of does in XI).

as I said at the early post, the gil can be adjust as well as the stamina gauge reduce because it is the Dev who code those thing, I am only suggest the rough idea.

The idea is not optional like your, it force ppl to always carry the CS, because with CS they can always have their gauge at 120% until they are out of CS or the supply to increase the CS duration, then they need to re-buy new one

*there is no set amount of how many CS or supply you can carry so you can assume you can carry a stack*

you completely miss understand the system like the most in here

as others have stated i would not be opposed for the optional price to get a temporary boost to stats. my porblem with the idea as a whole is the idea you will go down to 0 damage eventually. for me, i have over 100 mil so i could afford to pay it for a while, but you must also think of the new players. 50k per hour is crazy when they do not have that kind of gil laying around to throw out hundreds of thousands of gil a day.

if it was just a temporary boost that would just go back to your normal stats they everyone would have a choice. the ones that have the gil to afford it could choose to use it, but not force others to pay it even if they do not have it to play the game. i'm all about giving choices, but do not agree with forcing the choice on people that cannot afford it.
