New NMs and Class Specific Gear

Shot in the dark...you're an RPer aren't you? As every MMO has a type of class/rank/race/gender restriction on gear...

Most you mean.

Lucky guess, I am. I have 2 characters infact on different servers, one on Besaid that is mostly for Rp and another on Trabia (My main) that is for doing endgame stuff.

No thanks, the last thing this game needs is more restrictions imo.

This isn't really a restriction as its standard in all MMOs aside from this one and unfortunately the majority of people, based on forum posts, would want some restriction on armor in the form of level and class restrictions so they have a goal to work towards. There's no fun in being able to wear rank 50 armor at rank 1, make me work towards it.

Why not have both? Why not have a compromise and have 50% non-restricted gear and the other 50% you have to be a certain rank and class to be able to equip it? Everyone is happy that way and I don't see a problem with that either.

In this game, even if you can wear rank 50 armor at rank 1, there are penalties that often make actions like that worse than wearing level appropriate gear. If you're lazy and don't mind lowering your performance, then I don't see the issue. But I suppose it's just that you guys want a way to differentiate yourselves from lower level people. Since you're rank 50, you want to look the part. You don't want to look like a random rank 1. That's what I'm getting from reading replies so far. I suppose that's reasonable, though honestly I liked the fact that things were realistic in that gear was something that you just put on and it was up to you to wear what was effective.

Between the gear and the actions this game doesnt have any restrictions whatsoever, its actually one of the major things we DO need.

Guys, If you wanted a piece of gear that you had to level up your class to equip then they did it backwards.

edit: unless it has a REQUIRED rank and its just not listed.

Normally I would agree with you but in the case of gear I very much think gear restrictions by class and rank are needed, not only to enforce players to wear the correct gear but to make each class more unique looking.

Very good start, I will not complain about 20 NMS added in 1 patch

[Vermilion]

I'm hoping that those three items are not the only ones, out of the twenty new NMs, and only three items is a bit of a let down, Also I would have liked unique NMs, kind of tired of "Bigger" versions of a mob we have seen countless times before. Tho I am happy about the class specific gear, looking forward to more info once the patch comes out.
