[dev1244] Accessory Reform, discussion

[Chardrizard]

This thing really isnt worth arguing about, i guess ppl really do whines for the sake of it. This doesnt really change anything gameplay wise really..

At the examples, it looks like each slot is getting a stat benefit of 50 to 100% more.
Edit: it's clear some level of dyslexia affected my table reading skillz. The word Defense changed into Enmity after I blinked my eyes. I wonder what else I'm misreading?

Should that hold true throughout, we still have the statistical benefit, save on inventory space, and can wear more.

Would also like a /display bling off.

I'm sure there are some guys out there that want the benefit of earrings, but can't handle the fabulousness of their Jem transformation sparkle.

Finally. Slot cost was another stupid tanaka's evil thing along with fatigue, stamine, random exp, etc.

Earrings should be 2 separate slots, period. Seems unusual to have fewer earring slots than in FFXI ... no??

Other than that, I have no other complaints about this change.

[ninesunz]

Sorry I have to bring up FFXI.

2 earring slots, 2 ring slots

epic earring drops, puts into earring slot 1
epic earring drops, puts into earring slot 2
same with rings.

Either have 2 earrings and get rid of brace or have 2 brace and get rid of earrings please.

in xiv epic earring goes into the ear. Spiffy bracelet goes onto the wrist. Suitable rings go on the fingers. ah screw it i should have something there any way neck piece goes on the neck. Net difference.. a whole lot of nothing. Save for some perceiving a loss

To be honest i have never used more then 5 accessories my entire time playing xiv. If the examples they gave us are any thing to go on. were in for some good stuff. I mean heck those new pearl rings gave me a thmboner.

Sorry Griss I should have been more precise.
What I wanted to point out is during story telling I'd like to receive an earring of some epicness from a God/Goddess or entity and have space for the other ear for another. To me, "you receive a pair of Ifrit earrings" doesn't carry the same feel as "you receive an Ifrit earring"

I much rather have 2 earrings and no bracelet, in the end the stats maybe the same but the feel of the game is different.

Are we really mad about this? Really? We've known this was coming for a LONG time, the wording was just a little vague. This has been a probable outcome since they first announced they were going to remove slot cost many months ago.

Personally I approve of these changes. Was anyone really using 5 or more accessories? If not then you're getting more room for accessories. Also they're balancing this to work with the rest of the game, the current accessories are not.

It's funny to see people all on one side of an issue and then once a fix is proposed, everyone's back on the other side. In this case initially everyone wanted slot cost removed and to use all available accessory slots. Well they're giving us that, except for the sake of balancing things they're removing a couple of slots. Makes sense to me. Now that we're getting that people want to go back to slot cost? Really? You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Absolutely ridiculous lol.

How about for once we let the devs do what they do best? The proposed system is good, it looks like it works just fine. Things will be balanced to work with the new system in place and the rest of the game. Honestly though people will complain up to 1.21 and then maybe for a few weeks after and we'll never hear about this issue again. New players won't know any system other than the new one and no one else will really care. Happens every patch lol.

Exactly.. not everyone.. but lets say "People" wanted Slot Cost removed. That is correct. BUT, by far Noone asked for removing 4 of the existing 9 Accessory Slots ! Period ! I seriously dont get how they reduce 2 Earring Slots to ONE. That does not make Sense.

Its like asking for a DoubleCheeseburger, but for getting DoubleCheese they will remove the Meat, even if you didnt ask for it.

I am in complete agreement with this reply. IMO the the success or failure of this change will be determined by stats on the new accessories and we will not know that unti the patch unles the publish a recipe list prior ala Ver1.19. Until we see that everything is guesswork.
