What do you think of the point allotment system?

[Ventus]

Personally I am more for set stats every level up namely because this is what makes certain races better than others in different classes, or whatever they are called now, and gave incentive to be taru/galka/etc. Aside from that it's very difficult to actually see any resulting effect from stat increases and, for the most part, determine how much you need to make a difference. Quite obviously, a lot is already being worked on atm and this is one idea amongst the heap of many. So how do you think this point allotment system fairs? Thanks for your time

I dont mind it, though I wish a I got a lot more stats, when you have a DoW and a DoM at 50 (i dont but just example) switching between these totally opposite stats fully takes you about 37 hours. Which is stupid. Stop restricting my gameplay lol.

But then again imo stats barely work, so I dont care right now.

After the changes, i will rage!

It's good in concept, but horrible in execution and implementation. (Like much of the rest of the game)

this pretty much


Personally i hate assigning them myself in games but when its not permanent its not much of a big deal if i set a few points in the wrong pool.

And it actually feels necessary (or it would if stats felt more impactful) what with all the multiclassing

A reason i dont quite liek the current point system is because its proberly the sole reason why the attribute point allocation values are so low and why they give such insignificant returns on your stats if they wanted to allow people to play multiple class's, obviously if someone only wanted to focus on one type of specific Dow class it would of given them a large advantage over people who tryed to be a jack of all trades, to the point where you can get by without putting almost any points at all into favourable attributes if you didnt want to seem gimpish on your favored class.
But since this wont be an issue in the future from the poll results i haz no beef anymore!

I like it since I have more control over what you class can do. This system wasn't really made for min/maxing with how ffxi was.

But gives players ability to create their own class. I so far been keeping my stuff balanced, and doing very well so far. Instead of putting points in on a per class basis. Put points in everything and even out you stats out.

Im doing that and doing pretty well so far. I haven't felt the need to reassign points and I tried a few classes out. Maybe stop trying to force the classes into stuff from ffxi or other mmos.

The only way this system is restrictive is your a min/maxer, since in away it goes against the way this class system was really made for. Which was class customization by swapping abilities.

Kilta you have only a single job on R10... and your physical level is lower than your Job Rank.

Wait till you have marauder to R50 and then want to play mage... You will quickly understand the huge annoyance switching between different classes.

Also point in balanced stats is to change classes on the fly w/o worrying about gear or stats. Kinda feel bad not every really likes the system. I think its neat.

You don't meant to balance stats between a melee and a magic user? Coz then you would not need a point allotment system at all. I would not like to have a gimped melee just so i can also switch to a mage any time i want.
Also you should know that when you use 'reassign' you can only change a limited number of points.
(and you have to reassign the elements too for some reason every time... ergo you press a button a couple hundred times)

At your r10 you might not see the problem yet.

BTW, you are encouraged to switch classes, your physical level should be higher than your job Rank, you know that right?

I don't like it in its current form, feels too restrictive. I feel that it would be better on a per-class basis, or removed altogether.
