Bonus to multiclass parties?

[Raistlin]

One of the problems with FFXIV is that for endgame a full party of the same class sometimes can defeat everything. I was thinking about: why not give bonus to these partys who are not 6 warriors 2 healer, 8 BLM, TPburn, etc

why not to modify light and full party bonus to promote parties with diferent setups?

For example, if you have more than 3 BLM in your party, you lost your full party magic accuracy and magic potency bonus, and the same with full warriors party, etc.

whats to gain at endgame to bonus? xp?

We already get a bonus for parties.

I think they should take that bonus away if you have more than 3 of one class.

i would hope they award you a bonus for diversity actually. also it's always been a dream of mine, (somewhat unrelated maybe?) that they bring in class + class specific skill chain system. For instance Warrior WS + Gladiator WS = Cross Slash, ala Chrono Trigger.

I think we've all been wanting this...

If only the dude who is doing the battle system in FFXIV was the same guy who directed and designed the battle system for Chrono trigger....
Oh wait... he is!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!
Doho, my friend... I am very excited to see what happens when BR comes back....

I think maybe they have been holding it back this far because they have BIG PLANS for it...

And yes... that would encourage multiclass play....
Good post

Penalizing parties for class stacking isn't the way to go. You should be rewarded for some sort of diversity through party wide buffs (which already exist to some point, but not noticeable enough to matter).

So lets just keep adding buffs and bonuses to the game huh, why is it everyone always has their hand out for another treat.

Good boy !!

I agree with the job aura's suggestion. (passive ability at lvl 30)

Of course if we get Job Aura's they should remove strength in numbers and the 4 man version I forget what its called.

I see a lot of posts about this so I think i'm going to step in. First of all I would like to note that the primary factor that leads to class stacking is the community taking the easiest way out always, and class stacking is easier to realize the potential since it's a simple strategy, whereas stuff that involves multiple classes might even be more efficient but requires more planning and better execution. But I digress, that is not my point in this post.

My point is thus, for people who want SE to do something against class stacking:

We wanted to give everyone an update on battle regimens; once we have finalized the battle fixes and implemented jobs in patch 1.21, we will move forward with our plans to re-implement an optimized battle regimen system to go along with the battle system. Since combos have just recently been added, we will also be looking into the possibility of changing the battle regimen system.

Due to this, we are unable to provide any additional information or an implementation date, but we will be sure to let you know of any other information that comes our way.

It's old, from January. They are, in fact, going to implement a, theoretically, less stupid Battle Regimen, system. Essentially, for those of you who joined the game after they were gone (like me), a multiple-character combo system, and if they build upon the basis of the existent Combo system, it will probably involve actions from different classes. Hopefully that should alleviate the 'problem' of class stacking.

whatever you want, just force me to bring diversity in my party. Hell, this is exactly why people open thread like this http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Warrior/page4
