Signet <Can I have it?>

[Griss]

Seals for killing mobs? na.. Seals for participating in a wide variety of fun activitys up to but not limited to kicking in the teeth of members of other companys? Sing me up twice.

[Seif]

This is why we can't have nice things.
Everything fun is banned because obviously the handful of paying customers prefers a bad game that is pretty universally thought of as shallow and badly designed mess.

If SE would take your word on everything they could just quit working and keep leeching your blind fanboy visa accounts.

I have said it before I will say it again: some players dont want anything from FFXI in FFXIV, I dont see why though. Personally I would welcome this very much. As I see it now to get grand company seals/marks you either have to grind the leves for 120 seals for anywhere from 5-15 mins, or do the choco escort. Now I dont mind grinding but I dont like how many seals you get for doing a leve. The choco escort ya ok if you want try to get players to do the lvl 45 escort is not even worth the time.

Signet or whatever version, could be used to gain GC seals/marks faster and you wouldnt have to do those boring leves or wait till you had enough players to do the choco escorts. It is bad enough that there is nothing to do in this game now, other than crafting and or DoL. I personally would welcome a conquest system as this would as some depth to the game.

Now to those of you that dont like grinding for exp or whatever seem to think that questing for your exp is better, but it really is not any better due to the fact either you grind exp from mobs or grind exp from quests. The major difference is that w mob grinding you can control how much exp you get from kills, where as questing for exp is limited to what the programers decide you should get. Personally the questing for exp is something I would not like as I would be limited in how much exp I would get by the developers. Now if you done believe me look at how much exp you get from quests now, than look at how much exp you need for your next level.

I do realize I went off topic a bit but I believe this is something that ties signet, GC marks and exp together. What SE needs to do is stop listening to players and offer polls that players can not give feed back on, by answering yes or no. I believe what is actually happening to this game is the dev team is listening to much to the players and that can be a good and or bad thing. You have players that want this or dont want that, in the end the developers should take what made FFXI great and use it in FFXIV and make it better. SE needs to stop catering to everyone and do what they do best.

I would like to see signet added, but it would need to be balanced properly.

Also wouldn't adding signet defeat the purpose of doing company content as everyone would just XP to get their seals ?

I think if they are going to add signet they may aswell copy over the whole idea including a seperate points system, conquest etc.

Company seals are more akin to Assault points.

I find that additional task you must do each time you go out of town unnecessary and unefficient, and hope they don't do something similar in FFXIV.

SE, please add Kefka as the main villain. It was so cool in VI and he is far more intimidating than all the villains in XIV combined.

SE, please make the Materia system exactly like it was on VII. I mean, it worked fine there and everyone loved, we should have it here too!

SE, please add Triple Triad to this game, or a Triple Triad copy. Everyone loved Triple Triad. (and yes, I'm aware there's an actual 500 posts + thread about that)

SE, please copy FFXIII's battle system. It's so cool to send enemies flying up with my attacks!

What, create new systems or improve the current ones? No SE, please copy up a feature from a previous game!


This is what you guys sound like when you make threads like this



Now, I'm not against adding features from previous games, or XI in here. I even made a post on that a few days ago.

But, seriously, this thread is a live monument to the huge nostalgia over FFXI that prevents some people to accept the fact this is an entirely new game and yes, some stuff from XI was not and will not be carried over. Deal with the fact that your <x> years playing XI will not magically come back if they start adding every single thing that "worked" on that game.

Really, all reasons I've read in this thread for adding signet literally boils down to "It worked in XI", and people pointing out they don't want it / didn't like it get posts like "You just don't want it because it was in XI and you are biased against it" or whatever.

And, for the record, This is how you properly apply XI nostalgia and concepts ,then turn em into a valid and useful complaint / feedback about this game.

See how they vastly differ from simple "HEY YOSHI, HERE'S THIS THING FROM XI, PLEASE ADD HERE KTHNXBYE" ?

SE, please make the Materia system exactly like it was on VII. I mean, it worked fine there and everyone loved, we should have it here too!

Would rather have that, than the shitty mess we have right now.

I don't paticularly think bringing everything from ff11 is a good idea but there are some thing which if done right and tweaked could be cool additions.

Although this is sarcasm.... I hated that system so much. It felt so pointless to me.

I do want signet. More ways to obtain GCS is never a bad thing.

[Chinook]

What's fun about having to go to a NPC/Crystal every day/few hours to get a bonus ?

It seems the base of your problem is acquiring GC Seals, and there are other solutions/balancing that could be done before adding a pointless feature.

I think this would be a great Idea, but ONLY for fighting Beastmen and Garleans.

Like a a means of setting yourself to active duty wherein your company recognizes your efforts against the enemy and rewards you as such.

This is NOT something you should get for killing random Mobs in the field.
