End game on ARR, merit points =)

[Nix]

Hi Nix!

Wasn't a lot a fun to do as a Paladin either :/. Scrambling to grab that next ogre and establish enough hate before the current one dies and insane SAMs just went all out. They certainly seemed to have a blast. If I held hate 1/2 the time I was surprised.

Nightmarish Flashbacks aside, the more I think about it the more I'd be down. Perhaps make it so Merit points can't be earned in FATE, instance, quest or leves. Then it would give players incentive to party camp and kill high level field mobs instead of running right past em. Speaking of grinds, I should quit posting and get back to work on Odinsphere.

Hey Desty!!
I was always so envious of the DD's, they really did have fun and were able to chat it up with their buddies while I was stuck hitting haste and cure III then freaking out over mp because the only bard couldn't/wouldn't keep ballad up on me haha so MP could be really scarce sometimes! oh well...

I wouldn't mind merits being obtained by FATE/leves etc, that sounds really fun!! Totally beats hitting the same macro set over...and over...and Oooooveeeerrrrr for 5 hours XD

Have a wonderful day Poplicola! (totally gonna keep calling you that til it sticks.. XD)

It looks like you copied and pasted this from the description on a FFXI fan site.

Sorry, but I think that they can come up with something of their own to use at that stage in ARR. To copy it so blatantly seems folly in my opinion.

i did as i did not know what the system was and thought other might be in the dark like i was

I loved merits in XI, yesplz.

You do realize merits also enhance things beyond base attributes, right?



I guess you forgot what type of progression system ARR uses.

yeah its using a fail system like a gimped modern mmo, still no reason you have to grind at cap to get new skills. back at version 1 launch we were able to gain new skills with guild marks thats still better then grinding 10000 mobs or quest.

FFXI merits aint a big deal you can hit lv99 in 1-2 days shows how broken that xp system became.

Hmmm interesting guys. I like the ideal of getting merit points via fates/leves... And yes merits enhanced your character in many ways. Which you could choose. I would love to see it return in ARR. lastly, yes I was a fully merited mnk, with a blk belt & a few other end game things in FF11. And had tons of fun killing mob and those pink birds lol.
