[dev1358] Materia Reform - Discussion.

[Ragz]

HP materia is useful because high HP ceiling drastically reduce chance of dieing, unless you automatically die when you run out mp, MP does not have the same importance as HP. At current setup, when someone mass stack mp, they can use 2-3 extra spell in a fights, with reduced damage, which is about as useful as.... 2-3 extra spells in a fight, with reduced damage.

Why not just base MP recovery/tick on a player's base MP instead of their base and bonus MP from gear?

So you want to recover MP slower than you currently do? I don't understand.

The point wasn't to gimp MP regen, but rather allow the address the problem with why they can't adjust MP materia without breaking another feature.

Exactly. It's possible to base the percentage off of the players base MP instead of the max, but keep the actual regen amount roughly the same as it is now.

[Luhy]

The developers should be aware that in most slots, players would rather increase their cure potency by a massive 10% or damage per nuke by 10% rather than recover "7 MP."

It may not be horrible, but it's not useful comparatively. Manathirst and Lifethirst need a huge boost. Even if the developers think that they're decent, no one is using them and no one will use them.

[Kinseykinz]

I think the reason the developers are saying the Manathirst MP regen is okay is because they know the BIG PICTURE. We will not be level 50 forever. Right now, I don't care about Manathirst because, quite frankly MP is not a big issue for me. So it could be a 25% refresh rate and I'd still choose upping my cures or base nuke damage over my MP pool. Afterall, it's not the size of the pool, but what you do with it.

However, around level 70, this might be a whole different story. We as players just don't know everything that the devs know when it comes to balancing out the game/classes/jobs for the future.

Consider them as "Junk"

Materia V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X will be introduced as the level cap rises. The Dev Team knows what they're doing.

the spells will cost more mp too which makes your point invalid.
