RIP Customization

[Alkimi]

They should have just changed it to secondary stats instead. At least then there wouldn't be a completely terrible choice (there would still be a "correct" one though) and it would be a small amount of customisation.

Maybe give 2 points per level or something.

So are these attribute points just being taken away, and now we're all essentially that much weaker? Or will they just be weaved into our main stat automatically, during leveling?

You'll essentially be weaker at 60 when you log in, but you'll level and get new gear that will more than compensate.

Wow that's disappointing. :<

Why? You'll hit for probably less than you'd actually notice if you didn't know this tidbit and will get stronger as you go.

From 60 and up I expected the new content and gear would be balanced to expect that. But I was more thinking about the leveling experience from 1-60, where those points will make more of an impact.

I believe they increased the amount of stats your class traits give you to even out. I think with the numbers you actually end up with 36 instead of 35 extra points from traits now, so you're actually ahead 1.

Nevermind that materia with a stat already present in your gear = +0% when melded.

[Ametrine]

Ahh, I doubt we'd really notice the difference while leveling.

As stated, the only players that benefitted were the bleeding edge world first teams, and now that we're about to rapidly outgrow and outgear the content that was tailored to include the addition of attribute points, we won't feel any sort of nerf at all.

It was also stated in the notes that exp in being boosted in general, and that the starting city-states will start selling level 50 gear and Ishgard level 60 gear to help push newer players forward.

If I read the patch notes correctly the bonus Attribute Points have been removed, meaning we all will have the exact same stats as certain jobs. Sure it was a small thing but I liked my additional max HP Saved me from wiping on more than one occasion in fact.

Meld vit on accessories and get the same effect as putting stats into vit.
