Stats Actually Working

[Hawk]

When you equipt Stat Rings they dont seem to do anything. In XI the ratio was for example 2 Vit = 1 Def. In this game you equipt Vit and you get more Vit stat, no defense, no HP. Even the trait conversions +10 and + 5 dont do anything. The only thing that seems to be working it Base Point Vit and Base Point Mind.

I ask myself this every day I play. Why didnt you take the system from XI and just improve it. It was perfect. Instead of reinventing the wheel. Just strap some rockets on the sides and make it go faster. Sheesh!

It was a good system.

Increasing your stats like Str or Vit dont show up in increases in your Attack or Defense. They should tho, so people would know what their actual stats were.

Also add visible stat bonuses in the menu after eating food/ show what effect drinking something has (regen/refresh/etc.).

Actually, that question stands for every single aspect of FFXIV. Why experiment with some weird ideas instead of improving FFXI system?

Exactly. I mean I can understand that in every FF you remake your system and make it unique but with MMOs you need to stick to your guns. Take what you have and make it better.

I remember in XI they had the +1 or what ever next to the base stats in green. Show us our true stats!

Seriously... it would get the game enjoyable and rolling a lot faster. They can always add 100% new ideas later and touch ups to things ripped from FFXI.
FFXI's /search feature
Auction House
Auto Attack
Level Sync

Why aren't these features +1 or at least present in FFXIV?

In b4 go back to FFXI if you want good features in an MMO

Adding VIT from stat changers and rings doesn't add any HP.... but can you be sure it doesnt cause you to take less damage from being hit?

Testing on NMs with GLA and MRD I promise you the only thing that increases my ability to take less damage are abilitys: like Defender and stuff like that. Im not even sure if gear helps. Alot of it has to do with levels in comparison to the mob.
