2 possible combat style chanes...let us vote?

[Zanfire]

i saw in the FFXIVcore interview that the team is "battling" over which of their 2 combat system idea that want to use.....so why not show/explain it to the people an let us vot in a poll?

give a decent description of what they are like and possibly a short video clip of how it looks like then say "vote on which you would like to see.

cant see how it could hurt. And at this point a lot of people are going to sit there and wonder if the other one would have been much better.

anyone agree?

the quote:
"We're not looking to copy what other MMOs are doing. But we are looking to move in that direction, and right now the battle team has two options that they're thinking of. And basically, they're battling against which one they're going to choose. We're going to be moving in a similar direction, but it's not something that copies another game."

I'd rather not. Enough with the immature requests of 13-year olds controlling how we spend our time. Put a damn professional GAME DESIGNER in charge and have some authorship over your own work!

It's like waiting for another mona lisa to be painted by all of italy (=it's going to be a mess with everyone involved).

This is the kind of thing I see here, and from SE that drives me nuts.

Every time someone makes a suggestion there are mixed thoughts and ideas which is completely understandable. However, it always seems to come to, on here, "Ok, well lets just make an option" or "Lets vote on it". And then when it comes to SE its "Let's have a poll and see what the playerbase wants". These, imo, are the wrong answers. This game, right now, needs direction and leadership. Someone on that dev team needs to grab the bull by the horns and say "This is the direction we want to go with this game". They need to pick a direction, get people interested and go from there. Not this "We'll do our best to give you guys what you want" bullshit.

Like jumping. Holy crap. Its just jumping but everyone went off on this spam jumping crap and Noaki says, basically, "Oh, you guys don't want spam jump ok ill make sure we do something to make it work without spam jumping" rather than just adding jumping because they felt its a good part of the game and nerfing the problem after. IF IT BECOMES A PROBLEM.

I don't know why I decided to fire this off in this thread, but whatever. Just saying.

arent the only people who can vote are the actual players (people who bought the game and made an acount)? so how is it a bunch of 13yr olds voting....and in the end if more people want one thing over the other, they are just satisfying more then less.

by now the people who follow the game and bother to take the poll are not random people who dont care, its mostly the people playing or the people who are waiting for it to get better, so i cant see that being a good excuse. Its still leadership to make the decision to say, lets let the players decide. We are not deciding on how everything will work, just between 2 options that they like both of.

Yeah, can we let the game developers do their job instead of trying to put our 2cents into every damn thing they do?

If EVERYONE keeps making suggestions THEY think would make the game better, NOTHING is going to get done and nobody is going to like the outcome.

Everyone seems to think they have the answers, but they have no idea how to build a game or how to balance all their suggestions. Most of them aren't even feasible.

Lol, what a bunch of sanctimonious babble.

clearly the company thinks both are viable..hence they answer they gave, so asking the people who play the game to see what they might like better cant really hurt. It has nothing to do with balance or us not knowing things, because if that was the issue, they wouldnt have 2 things they want to use.

again its not what we think up, they already have 2 idea they like and work, but havent decided on, we just get to help them pick.

Well it seems that Companies are the only thing that SE doesn't want our opinion on. I bet after they come out people will complain that their to hard and because theirs no challenge in the game why start now. For me i want something thats going to take time to get, an item or gear. I want to be challenged at this game. I want great gear to take months to get, not days. That way theirs a goal and actual endgame content to do.

{Yes, please}

[Nephera]

its possible both of these ideas suck too.

though i'll give this new team the benefit of the doubt.
