Devs: Has Merrits Been Talked about?

[Coglin]

im not comparing fps to mmo *****, im comparing the change from game to game in any franchise. What is liked is always carried over. Everytime 14 mentions something similar to 11, people cry like little babies.

Actually, you were. You were using a FPS franchise game to game change carry over to justify one in a MMORPG.

Secondly, before you start calling names, perhaps you should get a clue. I never made a issue about anything to do with it having been in XI, not one word about was mentioned by me. All I said was that you were full of it when you claimed it was in most MMOs. You spoke out of ignorance about other MMOs and got called on it.

I asked you a very specific question about your idea, with specifics, for a merit system. Which you chose not to answer, only to apply name calling and claim. falsly I might add, that it was justified to name call over peoples issues with ideas from XI being applied to XIV. If you actually cared to be constructive about it, you would have just answered the question. Instead you took the option of further lowering any credibility you had left, to fly off the handle at me over something I never even came close to saying in my post.

All that being said. I ask you, what type of "merit" system do you want in XIV?

Because.......

New EQ's never take things from previous EQ's
New Halo's never use anything from previous Halo's.
New Call of Duty's dont use things from previous CoD's
New Guild Wars wont use things from previous GW's

Grow up kid, all new games use things from the past. Its what we are used to and it wont be something that changes the game completely around.

New EQs rofl? there has only been 2 and the second is practically a hanging by a thread failure.
Halo wouldnt be halo if it didnt use the same everything which is does.
All call of dutys serve the same purpose the setting is nill.
Wouldnt be GuildWars if it didnt have some previous Guild Wars Mechanics.

there are not 2 in the EQ franchise, there are 3. EQ, EQII, and the prequel EQOA. Just mentioning this for accuracy purposes. EQOA was the EQ MMO for PS2 that preceded FFXI as the first MMO on the Ps2.

Another topic requesting XIV to be more like XI. Nothing to see here, move along.

Another comment bashing anything related to XI, Nothing to see here.

People like this make me chuckle. I hope they make XIV exactly like XI just for you. Hell they have in a lot of ways, why are you still here again?

On topic; I wouldn't mind seeing a Merit system when the "real" cap is it. But for now, just wouldn't fit. As long as it didn't deal with quest, which knowing SE it wont.

merits for what? there nothing in the game yet. there already giving us stat adjustments and merits sucks i dont wanna grind when im already at the lv cap forget that.

[DNO]

yes please! i loved added brand new abilites that only capped rank people can have. Makes you feel more like a master of the class.

Also for all the people saying "wait for cap" ff11 had mertis at 75... cap is 99. Did we all forget that? Sure lvl 50 is prolly too early but in another 30 or so lvls merits couuld be VERY cool

Iirc, ff11 was initially intended to stay at the 75-cap. Yes the cap is 99 now, but most of the content there can be bulldozed @ 80+.

thanks. Meaning the devs made the merit system work flawlessly while raising the cap. You made the point i was saying so thanks.

FF14 can add merits no matter the current cap is.

I would rather see a system added where the choices you make allow for more customization of your job rather than mandatory improvements like "increase dagger skill by 1 level per point". Since they are working on large scale content, it would be cool to see a system that gives you a wide variety of additional abilities - allowing for example one bard to gain abilities specializing them in caster buffs and another bard to specialize in melee buffs. Allowing players to change the options they picked would be key, of course.
