Triple Triad Ideas/ points that id like to see fixed/added

[Kaiserdrache]

The current form of Triple Triad is nothing but just a boring RNG based grindfest, when it comes to collecting the cards and I think, theres alot of unused potential, to make TT in itself alot better, fun and interesting for players in FF14.

First of all, it has to be said, that FF14's TT is absolutely nothing like the original TT from FF8 - sadly.. it shares only the same backgroundmusic and board design aside of the basic ruless.

The following points would I love to see getting adressed with Triple Triad in the future:


1) Remove the silly low drop, which feel like being 0,001% chances of Cards from playing with NPCs and turn it into some kind of guaranteed Card Reward every x to xx games.

2) Bring back the Elemental Fields as part of Triple Triad that Cards have have Elements and if layed upon an Elemental Field, can receive either Boosts or Debuffs in their Points

3) Make Hero Cards just like the original IMMUNE to all Rules, so that those stupid NPCs can just steal on the first turn with that idiotic trade rule your best card, which you often need to be able to win against the unfair NPC enemies, which ignore the card star limit often and play with decks, we players can only dream off ...

4) Let All NPCs reward players only maximum with 2 different possible Cards. There exist some NPCs, that have now like 4 different cards all with different rarity factors, and with NPCs that have like 4 different cards to earn, its a hell to get just that 1 card, that you need. Either reduce this, and give the moved cards from the npcs to some new added npcs, or look at point 5

5) Implement for the card reward a guaranteed drop mechanic, with gives you a card that you don't own yet like every 50 or ever 99 wins, basically similar like the primae mount tokens, there should be a kind of an end to this ridiculous rng , like there is one with the mount drops, this should be done with cards andm ost likely with other one time receiveable unlock items, like songs too...

6) Remove annoying Rules, that weren't even part of the FF8 original like and implement therefore missing ones from the original version, like Wall-Same, or Combo for some nice different chain reactions, other than Plus or Same

7) Add a Trade Function between players, so that players can eventually trade their excessive amounts of double/triple cards with an other player, if you find somebody whos willing to trade cards with you, or if not with players, then implement a trade service with an npc, so that I can trade cards I dont need anymore, but got eventually not against MGP, but instead trade the cards that surpass together a certain MGP value for a card, that I need and can be traded in (the tradeable cards may change daily, to make it not too easy and those that are accepted for trade may change eventually also daily or weekly), this way could cards you dont need eventually be useful for you still, even if you dont care for MGP

PS: proposed changes are based upon the latest tt card list database I know that is http://ffxivtriad.com.

My apologies, if eventually certain proposals aren't fitting maybe, due to the infos Ive taken from that website could eventually be not anymore up to date from the last patch, because the last patch said, new cards have been added and I see yet on the website not any new added cards in the list from that last content patch we had some time ago

In regard of the rng Triad Cards from which you can obtain various TTC's, id personally like it, if they could also get removed all completely, except the one that is handed out as reward from tournaments , all others should basically only be gained via playing vs. NPC, from Dungeons, Raids, Fates, Story Rewards, Achievements or be bought either directly via MGP for a fix price.

Overall great ideas, however a few comments,
1. Yes, yes and yes. After a certain number of attempts, its a guarantee.
2. thats fine
3. good also
4. if 1 applies im ok with this staying as it is.
5. tied in with 1, yes.
6. Rules make up for the elemental tiles, and a way to make it more random. Maybe change some of the rules, OR add the tile changes.
7. no way. As SOON as you add the ability to trade other players for cards, there is a monetary value on cards. Which then turns into players lotting on cards they don't need, just for the gil. ( i think the things you can get with MGP should be expanded, but thats a different topic)

The card changes you listed, instead of removing cards from places, i would suggest just Adding them to other places. I think the card packs should be expanded, i also think there should be a "card" thats exchangeable for other cards. Or a barter system with NPCs. Say you get 4 ultima weapon cards, you can trade them for a card worth X value. Again, similar to the mount tokens. Some players have a rough time with a single card, personally Terra has eluded me forever, my brother has gotten dozens of that card.

Ultimately its a game with minimal interaction with players. In fact aside from the few achievements that require player games, its something you can do just vs NPCs. And its side content, so yes, i am glad they have a lot of cards to collect, since they have no function outside of the game, they shouldn't be as rare as they are.

I just wanna use some of my 4 star cards. Have so many just collecting dust, and there are some really cool ones in there. Plz Yoshi-P, lift the restriction ever so slightly.

[Brightamethyst]

I just wanna use some of my 4 star cards.

Same. Let us go 5/4/3/3/3.

With the exception of maybe Ascension decks, 4-star cards are basically worthless right now (and even then only because there are no 5-star scion cards.) Just, why?
