I WANT RACE BONUS REINTRODUCTION IN ARR!

[Mardel]

Sadly, this is the only community that would argue against this even though other MMOs can implement racial/class bonuses of some kind without complaint :\

Odd because most MMO's I've seen impliment racials and most people do complain about them being unfair, but the difference is they are actually playing the game and not posting in threads all the time. *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*

As for me, I feel racial abilities are kind of bad route to take.It adds a useless layer of realism to an obviously fantasy based game.

Ex:
Saying a Roe has more hp than a lala and having said lala have more mp may sound like a fair racial trade but it isn't. This is because we must consider the fact they still have to somehow then make the lala hit somewhere as hard as a bigger race, on melee. This makes very little sense because Hyur and Roes threw bigger,if not nearly the same size, tomahawks than the lala main axe. This completely makes the racial trait logic fail because it would be like expecting an ant to lift as much as a forklift.

SE already said they're not making race any more than aesthetic along with character creation an design. NO, I repeat, no diversity in stats between races will be implemented. Stats will be influenced through gear and equipment.


That is all. Good day folks!

no thanks, i want to be efficient in any job i level from beginning to end of my mmo gaming in ffxiv. i don't want it like ffxi where my totally pimped out monk is doing less then other monks just cause i'm a frigin lala or taru. no, no and no. what is point of being able to level all things on one class and be punished by stupid shit like this. you want to be different or useful ..do it some other way.

Point allotment works fine.

Point allotment works fine.

I was going to say, I thought that's why we were able to allot our own points. Kinda makes having any racial bonus pointless if you can even it out with stats.

I see no reason to add limitations by race. It was sorta pointless in XI as well. One of the games greatest strengths is being able to do everything without an alt, keeping every class on an even playing field fits that model.

Do to popular belief ppl are mad about race restrictions but have anyone took into consideration tht ppl do tht with class/jobs anyway. if SE want to make this fair, they need to make it so tht ALL jobs would be desired for all content, not just some. Until such a thing would come to pass there is no reason to knock 1 vs's the other. Hope this is addressed and adjusted in 2.0 (key word is hope).

Aye we know this, but in the same instance why throw something else that would contribute to a gap between races AND jobs as well. That's one of the more appealing things about FFXIV IMO is that it's concepts are simpler and leaves out alot of the benign min/maxing must have bullshit that literally festers and poisons FFXI like the black plague.

I played a hume thief in XI. People would laugh at me because I wasn't a mithra thief.

Never again. Keep that garbage outta here.
