[POLL] Combo System

[TheAnswer]

The combo system is a solid base for what can become a great tool - for both solo and party play. Giving solo combo ability obviously helps solo players to keep damage up without the tp and mp cost. The situation is similar for party play as well; tanks can use WSs to increase enmity and dps can increase damage to keep chains alive etc. Also, though, intuition points to a clear development of cross class combos that will most likely be accompanied with "magic burst" type bonuses - the same idea in place for FFXI. This will most likely be introd with 1.21; seeing as those new classes are to be more defined party roles.

The positioning aspects of certain combos is important as well. Think about when mobs become harder to kill and fights become longer. Combos will be used to attack certain physical features of mobs - necessary to win the fight or get specific drops (speculation at best but this is SE). So the long and the short of it is that the combo system is primitive at the moment; but, looks to be very promising.

ITT OP makes a one sided poll so he can get thumbed.

The combo system is a great introduction, however, it needs a ton of refinement.

Umm, how is it one sided? He simply asked if you like it or not. Thats 2 opposing choices, and he offerse nothing in an attempt to push your opinion one way or the other.

This.

I like the combo system and I don't want them to abolish it, but allow us more combo flexibility. Get rid of the position requirements (but keep the position bonuses). Give us more combos to choose from - I don't like doing the same 2 or 3 combos over and over again. Give us an incentive to use combos, but also give us an incentive to use singular skills - more options, more things we can combo into and out of, etc.

I would like it if you could complete other player's combos how fun would that be? First thm casts thunder....second casts thundara...second casts thunder...and first casts thundara for massive damage quickly. The possibilities would be endless. Also visual effects on the mobs would be nice too like how it used to be when you incap a dodo's legs and it couldnt chase you very fast like it was permanently affected with heavy.

Great idea, too bad anything but an NM or Ifrit level mob dies before a combo is done. Kind of reminds me of a SAM 2hring a mob in Dynamis for light, only to have the BLM blow it up after Yuki.

Thread really needs polls turned on for users...Seriously it's in the code you guys are using just get your "Forum guy" to flip the switch.

We allready seen you could do polls when you asked us what Yoshi's avatar was.

POLLS please, I'm tired of "Like this" for poll threads...

Oh I liked this post brah!

Solo combos in a mmo, great.
IMO they should have focused on battle regiments first, then introduce this combo system with way more flexibility.

I don't see what the issue is here, battle regiments were a horrible mechanic that required damn near perfect timing and ruined otherwise perfectly good teams because they couldn't pull that extra timing out of nowhere and resulted in a lot less people wanting to do parties without that much of an added benefit, Giving people solo combos in an mmo makes more sense than making strangers have perfect teamwork and timing on the spot.

I was talking about a new battle regiment system which would be a bit more easy to work with. Though the old one wasn't that hard as long as everyone knew what they were doing.
Anyway, I think it is extremely sad if some teamwork with strangers is too much to ask.
